50 Best Food Trucks near San Gabriel

“We are from out of state & have family in San Gabriel so whenever we are visiting we look up the Tacos Jalisco truck. We don't have many (if any) food trucks where we are from, and I have been to MX several times and had some real live tacos, and these guys are spot on. I highly recommend!“

“I stopped by this taco truck after my usual taco stand wasn’t open—and I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered the buche, carnitas, pastor, and cabeza tacos. The carnitas and cabeza were the best—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

I also had the carne asada fries, which were hearty and satisfying. The guacamole in the carne asada fries is seriously addictive, and their salsa, along with the pickled jalapeños and red onions, added a fresh, tangy kick.

At $2.50 per taco, the prices are reasonable for the quality. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“BEST BURRITO IVE EVER HAD! Wow. Seriously. It takes a lot for me to leave a review. But I'm sitting here eating this burrito and it is probably the best burrito I've ever had. Perfect size (long not overly thick like some places do where every bite is hard to take) taste is spot on. The a la cart options out front allow me to add my toppings to each bite as I want. And this yellow sauce is PERFECT HEAT and FLAVOR. A+ GUYS.“

“Great tacos, plenty of meat. Love the Carne Asada tacos for the kids, and mine are the tacos al Pastor. Great taste. I love the options for the Salsas, they have green salsa mild (for the kids) and a darker green that is more spicy. They also have other options if you are craving nachos or fries. If you are in the San Gabriel area, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. The Aguas frescas are also good. I love Jamaica, and my kids' favorite is the Horchata.“

“It is SO good. The chicken cutlets taste like Taiwanese night market. The grapefruit yakult was delicious. The people running the truck are really nice. I highly suggest double checking on their Instagram before heading out to see them. Sometimes they have altered hours or are elsewhere doing a special event. Their Instagram is reliable for updated hours and specials. Card or Venmo accepted.“

“Great tacos. I had 9 total. Asada and al pastor we’re the best. I loved the chicken and lengua as well. Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area“

“Amazing ♥️ handcrafted vendor the best food!“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“This amazing taco stand is set up in a parking lot with plenty of parking, making it super convenient. There are four organized stations: one for tacos, one for other items, plus a drink station and a salsa bar.

The meat was incredibly flavorful, and they serve it with onions, a grilled pepper, and a small potato. After trying several taco storefronts in the area, this stand easily tops the list.

A must-visit for taco lovers looking for great flavor. Four tacos was $11. No seating but you can sit in your car.“

“I recently visited Curb Grill in Montrose, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! This family-owned gem is a must-visit for anyone craving high-quality food in a welcoming environment. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla with sausage and bacon, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients, perfectly cooked eggs, and a generous portion that left me satisfied. Every bite was a testament to the care and quality they put into their dishes.

The restaurant itself was impeccably clean, from the dining area to the counter, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The bright, well-maintained space made the whole experience even more enjoyable. What truly set Curb Grill apart, though, was the owner, Albert, whose friendliness made us feel like part of the family from the moment we walked in. His warm hospitality and genuine enthusiasm for connecting with customers elevated the visit to something special.

I wholeheartedly recommend Curb Grill to all Montrose locals looking for a fantastic meal and a great vibe. This place has earned a spot as a regular go-to for me and my family—we’ll definitely be back time and time again“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“We ordered 4 Taiyakis for only $12. Then the owner was so sweet! She offered a 5th one for free. Got our fresh Taiyakis after pager rang quickly! All flavors were great: Red bean, apple, custard cream, mango, and chocolate filling within freshly baked crunchy shells. We almost wanted to order another round if we were not on the way of leaving Little Tokyo Market. Must try again next time!

Kid-friendliness: The fresh fish shaped Taiyaki tastes much better than the frozen one kids usually get in stores.“

“I'll be honest the atmosphere is not good yet if you wish to taste an authentic Mexican dish ex taco, burrito etc with hand made tortillas and great quality of meats and vegetables this is the place to go. And moreover the prices are cheap. I'm definitely coming back.!😁“

“One of the best coffee spots in Pasadena! Love coming here to get my caffeine fix in. I've tried most of the menu and you honestly can't go wrong picking any drink. They offer hot and iced coffee as well as matcha and a few pastries. The owners are extremely kind people who clearly love what they do and it shows. They also give back to the community which speaks volumes. I cannot recommend this cute little coffee truck enough.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“The food truck provided a warm and memorable dining experience. The staff greeted guests with genuine friendliness and professionalism. The menu had a wide selection of appealing choices, all of which were delivered hot and fresh. Meals were beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly prepared with care. The atmosphere was lively and clean, adding energy to the dining experience. Drinks were brought quickly, and service remained attentive throughout. Every element of the visit felt smooth and enjoyable. The restaurant delivered excellence in both food and service, making it a place that guests will happily return to time and time again.“

“I saw a Groupon for Lobos Truck the other day and I had to buy it. It was $13 for 2 entrees and 2 drinks! What a steal! They stop by in front of my work building every now and then so it was pretty convenient for me to check them out.The Chinook: 1/3 lb. American-Kobe beef burger with garlic aioli, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato on a fresh Brioche bun. The burger was nothing special - just average. It was cooked medium rare as requested and it was well seasoned.OG Wachos: With everything. What are Wachos you ask? Waffle Fries + Nacho Toppings = Wachos. Came with Avocado, Cheese, Onions, and much more. It was amazing. The waffle fries were crisp and flavorful and it went well with all the toppings. I wish there was some heat to it though!“

“There are so many reasons to love Yess.

1. The vegetables!! OMG You might not be expecting it, but the vegetables here are so delicious and they hold their own against the fish. Expect seasonal vegetables and wonderful provisions that will blow your mind.

2. This is one of the very few places where you can get locally caught bluefin sushi here in Los Angeles. Maybe one of about 3 places right now as of this review? They don't have it all the time so call ahead.

3. The berry kakigori is otherworldly good.

4. How nice is it to go to a restaurant and not have to yell at the people at your tent just you have a conversation?

I just love this place so much.“

“The food is really good this is my 6th time eating here and I am not disappointed, the asada wet burrito and hard shell tacos (asada, pollo, and fish) were great in flavor.

Definitely need to try this place not only is the food great but the staff are very friendly and amazing themselves ☺️“

“Hands down, the best taco truck in Pasadena! Established in 1979, Los California Tacos has perfected the art of tacos with their flavorful, fresh, and non-greasy offerings. The service is friendly and fast, making it a go-to spot for taco enthusiasts. Their al pastor and chicken tacos are particularly popular among regulars. Don't miss out on this local favorite!“

“AMAZING!!!!!! Birria tacos, quesabirrias, you name it it's delicious 😋!!!!!! Great service. Family own and you see they care what they serve their guests. Will continue to come with my family 😃.“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“Aguachile is my favorite😋😀👌Cash only!“

“los mejores tacos .. y ahora las mejores galletas“

“If you’re craving tasty street tacos, Tacos La Guera delivers solid flavor and generous portions—exactly what you’d hope for from a late-night taco stop. The meats are well-seasoned and the tortillas nicely warmed, making every bite satisfying.

Payment is convenient since they accept credit cards, but note there’s an extra fee they don’t mention up front. They also prompt for tips, which feels a bit unusual for a casual street-food stand. It isn’t mandatory, so you can decide for yourself. Overall, great food with a couple of small caveats.“

“Food is amazing local Mexican food, tacos, quesadillas, tortas and flautas.. salsa is always fresh sometimes there's a wait but so worth it!!! Quesadilla Frita is the best!!! Eat at car or if an open small table not in best of neighborhood but Hollenbeck police station across from you.“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!“

“All round great food and service. My wife and I try to stop by every time I have a doctor's appointment around the area. I totally recommend there beef birria tacos and there Chocomil in a bag. Tacos dorados and a mazapán Chocomil hits the spot all the time“

“I come here a lot with my husband and friends but today was very disappointing. I ordered a torta de asada and was very upset. 5 pieces of black aguacate and half a piece of tomato for the entire torta. Than my husband ordered some tacos and the meat wasn’t seasoned and half of the meat was burned. We are very disappointed we have never been disappointed before this is one of our favorite places to go eat. Today the people working their looked new we paid $37 for our food and are upset.“

“This place is by far one of my favorites in Boyle Heights.

I absolutely love their deep fried quesadillas and the variety of ingredients that they have available. For those who are vegetarian, you are not limited to only cheese as they also serve mushrooms.

I haven't tried all of their meats but I have tried their asada, al pastor, chorizo, chicharrón seco and tinga. All of them were delicious and you can't really go wrong with them. I definitely like the fact that their chorizo isn't very greasy, it is still greasy but not as much in comparison to other places I've been to. Also, their al pastor is on the crispy side, and I know that that isn't for everyone, so just be aware.

They handmake the masa for both the quesadillas and the huaraches, but not the sopes, burritos or tacos. And while the other options are still good, there are definitely other places at a similar price point that offer, for example, handmade masa for the tacos.

While I appreciate the fact that they have aguas frescas, they are the machine made ones (not my favorite). They don't seem to have any other options such as water or soda, but I might be absolutely wrong.

They definitely have a wide range of sides. For example, they offer pickled red onions and cucumbers. I myself prefer freshly cut cucumbers versus pickled cucumbers, I just don't like the gooey consistency when they are pickled. And yes, they have plenty of limes.

The deep fried quesadilla also comes with lettuce, sour cream, and cheese. They can definitely put everything on the side in case, you decide to pick it up and take it back home to eat so that the toppings do not get warm and nasty. They do have utensils that they provide you with for certain dishes like the quesadilla. But, you can request utensils if needed.

I ordered two tacos and a deep fried quesadilla, and I believe my total was about $16. They don't automatically give you a receipt, and I'm not even sure that they would be able to provide you one if you asked for one lol.

The customer service is impeccable, everyone is super nice and attentive to taking your order. The guy who took my order made a fabulous suggestion on what I should eat, he did not disappoint. I was suggested to try the deep fried quesadilla with both the dry chicharron and also the tinga. It was pretty delicious, and having a little bit of the crunch from the dry chicharron was perfect!

This place is cash only, which is pretty typical to other food trucks around here.

Parking in the area can be quite difficult. There is a small mechanic shop in front of the truck that they use for parking. Street parking can be very difficult, street parking is all metered.

They do put out some seats and tables for anyone who wants to eat on location.

Overall, I would give this place an 8.5 out of 10. Definitely one of my favorites, highly recommend.“

“Bomb! Tacos you have to try them.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“I was lucky enough to go when they had elotes. Always love getting Adrian's tacos. Also they are always very friendly. Definitely recommend.“

“Great restaurant! Our server Hector was fantastic; funny, personable and very attentive. The atmosphere and decor is great, festive yet laid back with a nice vibe. The food and presentation were amazing, as well as filling. We ate before going into Universal Studios and we were completely full the entire 5+ plus hours we were there. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.“
