50 Best Food Trucks near San Gabriel

“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.

“Finally tried this place out after driving past it for the nth time. They do $1.50 taco Tuesdays and is parked right next to the Starbucks off Duarte and Rosemead. A bit more difficult to get to if you're coming from east of the intersection due to the median island and no U turn restriction, but damn their food is worth the trouble. Their al pastor is very well seasoned and probably my favorite protein out of all the choices. Tacos come with grilled onions and a piece of potato, with thick cut cucumbers and slices of lime. Nachos are loaded with sauces and burritos are packed with flavors. They have 4 sauces, 2 red and 2 green. The thicker, opague looking ones are the spicier of the 4, while the clearer 2 are the less spicy ones.

Ever since my favorite taco truck at the vons plaza been swarmed with customers for the past couple months on Tuesdays, I've been looking for an alternative. And dare I say it, I think I've found it.“

“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.“

“Got two asada, one chorizo, one pastor, and one tripa tacos. Asada was pretty good, so was the chorizo. I like my pastor a little saltier, but the pastor here was more on the sweeter side. The tripa had a slight bitter aftertaste, wouldn't really recommend if you aren't used to the taste. Overall it's alright for a good price and good amount of meat!“

“This was my first time trying Taiwanese street food. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their grape yogurt drink, sausage hug sausage, and scallion pancake chicken cutlet to try. The grape yogurt drink was creamy, yogurty, and tart with real, refreshing, fruity grape flaves and seeds. The sausage hug sausage had a firm, bouncy, sweet, fatty, thick sausage, pungent raw garlic, and crunchy sweet pickled cucumbers all on a chewy sticky rice bed. The scallion pancake chicken cutlet had a super flakey crispity crunchity chewy wrap, a brushing of sweet sticky hoisin sauce, some shredded cabbage, and a thin crispity crunchy bubbly lightly savory chicken cutlet. Overall this place is pretty good.

Yogurt drink $6.75
Sausage hug sausgae $12
Scallion pancake chicken cutlet $11“

“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“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Amazing ♥️ handcrafted vendor the best food!“

“Delicious and fast tacos. The restaurant knows what they are doing. The lines moved so fast and I got me food within 5 minutes. They have complementary potatoes which is awesome since they help with the spicy of the spicy salsas. They also have a self serve salsa and topping bar which is my favorite so I can generously garnish and drench my tacos in salsas. We realized this was a really popular spot in this area because it was already 12 am and this place was still really packed. Really delicious and authentic tacos, will definitely come back again.“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Came in hoping for brunch after a hardcore hiking and learned that breakfast wraps up at 11:45am — worth knowing. No regrets though, because I got the smash burger combo instead and it was excellent. Everything tasted freshly made, the drink came free, and the service was genuinely lovely. Only one thing bothers me was the heat… I’ll be back, and next time I’ll turn up before 11:45am.“

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

“The food is authentic and so delicious 😋“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“Super glad I found a new exciting spot with GREAT coffee. My tastebuds were very happy with my iced sugarfree vanilla latte and banana cold foam! The coffee was bold and smooth and they did not over power the coffee with sugar! The staff was so friendly and sweet! I’ll be back again and again 🤍🤍🤍“

“Best Tacos I have ever had. No joke. Girlfriend & I stayed in Pasadena for a vacation a few weeks back, ended up getting these 4 nights in a row. I’m not even lying when I tell you this little Taco Truck was potentially the highlight of my entire vacation. God I wish I could have some more.“

“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.!😁“

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

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“Mas Cafecito has delicious unique coffee flavored drinks. The only thing I was surprised about is that they don't sell regular unsweetened black coffee! How does a coffee place not sell regular black coffee?“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. They do also offer non spicy/mild for children. A variety of delicious options to choose from. Bulgogi was seasoned very well and nothing was dry. Overall 10/10. Very much looking forward to eating here again.

Kid-friendliness: Offer non spice options as well“

“Pound for pound best shrimp tacos in LA and beyond.“

“This food truck is one of the best one's out in the streets of Vernon CA took my family and we love coming here the tacos dorados de camarón are on point the ceviche out of this world and my favorite are the tacos de camarón empanizado.... If you're around Vernon or hungover ....come Here .....“

“Las mejores cemitas y un buen servicio“

“absolutely great service always have Smiles on their faces the food is fantastic portions are very generous definitely my go-to spot after work highly recommended“

“Been meaning to hit this place, but always pass them up. Glad I stopped by, they got some good eats here. Tried the Vamipro with bistec and potato. Nice and crispy hand made tortilla. Potatos were healthy cut pieces and soft. Also had the Guisado sampler and man they are not shy with the servings. I definitely recommend the sampler plate if you are wanting to try the different options of guisados. For this location early is better as they do sell out of items on the early side. They also have restaurant where you can get there goods as well.“

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

“By far the best food from a food truck I’ve ever had. This is my go to and staff already know my order when I walk up. Staff is also amazing and genuinely want you to have a great experience. My favorite dining in the area for sure.“

“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.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“This is one of the most unique and best mariscos spots you’ll find in the U.S. We had the strawberry aguachile it was spicy, incredibly delicious, and paired with some of the freshest shrimp I’ve ever had. The chef runs a one man operation and makes everything from scratch. He’s a creative genius and a very kind person. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Happy“

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

“The Lobster Roll is excellent. The bun is deep-fried, which gives it a great rich flavor and crispy texture, pairing perfectly with the fresh, generous lobster meat. Another standout is the Tofu Pudding—it has a very unique, rich aroma and is incredibly smooth.

The ingredients are fresh, the service is genuinely friendly, and the place is clean. Great quality for the price. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“The food was amazing. We ordered about 14 tacos and two Mexican coke for $35.“

“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“

“This area of highland Park which is to say the stretch of North Figueroa Street from avenue 26 all the way to eagle Rock Boulevard is a little bit of a mariscos desert, other than the shrimp tacos at La Estrella. (El pescador is overrated) So it was very exciting to find out about this truck. Excellent service -- outstanding campechana, savory in a peppery way that was welcome. Shrimp tacos were outstanding . Very convenient and even at lunch time there wasn't a long wait“

“Honestly the best food truck ever! The service was quick and friendly and the food was a bomb!!! i tried their trendy deep friend quesadillas and they were delicious!!! we ordered a Pastor burrito (huge), the deep fried quesadilla, a sope, a huarache and two large Jamaicas for only 46usd. Honestly very affordable prices! we will def. be back 🤩🤩🤤🤤🤤“

“the people that work there are very polite and I love there sopes my favorite but in all honesty I give them 100%. ....thank you“

“I have driven past this place for years skeptical of the seafood at a small stand, but boy was I proven wrong! So glad the location I was going to was closed because the nearest seafood was Mariscos el Zurdo. I saw they had 7 mares, so we said let's give it a try. Luckily we found parking in the small lot they share & found a table to eat because it sure got full & people waiting on a table.
I am kicking myself for having missed out on the delicious fish taco, shrimp hard shell taco, & agua chile tostada, all these years, but I will sure make up for it. The soup wasn't the best 7 mares i've had, but it was a big hearty bowl with crab legs that my soothed my mom's craving.
I am looking forward to head that way & stop to try other items along with that aguachile tostada 😋“

“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.“

“Chilaquiles were really good. For reference, I tried the half/half red and green sauce with carnitas mixtas.

I am happy to have stopped by even though I got a parking ticket. No street parking from hours 7am-9am so be mindful. We were there less than 30mins and got cited.“

“When you visiting the area stop by for amazing tacos, we had the tripa, asada, cabeza tacos, pastor quesadilla and sincronizada, everything was delicious, the staff were very friendly, they are from Oaxaca and Veracruz means the taste is real Mexican style. They are parked on the street and the park area is safe.“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“buenos tacos 100% recomendados“

“Los mejores tacos � del este de Los Angeles. Vale la pena la manejada de 45 minutos. � � � �“

“su atención a clientes y su buen sazón“

“Strawberries and banana Yummie“
