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.

“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!“

“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!“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious, cooked fresh and everything you want in a snack. There’s lots of savory and sweet options- I went with a ham and cheese one and a mixed berry cream cheese one. It looks like they have new and limited flavor options rotated out regularly. Paying is cash or Venmo only, but was very inexpensive. It took about 10 mins, and there’s some picnic tables nearby with cute little birds to keep you company while you wait.

It was cooked perfectly, melty and piping hot on the inside, and crispy on the outside, with a mildly sweet and crispy shell. Absolute perfection! A great way to grab a quick snack and take a short break while shopping. I definitely will be back.“

“Curbgrill puts its focus right where it belongs: making phenomenal comfort food. The smash burgers have perfect lacy, crispy edges, the breakfast burritos are elite, and the seasoned fries are addictive. To top it all off, the owner, Albert, is one of the friendliest guys you’ll ever meet he greets everyone with genuine warmth and treats you like family. Incredible food and even better hospitality. Albert and his team knock it out of the park!“

“The food is authentic and so delicious 😋“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“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.“

“Strawberries and banana Yummie“

“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!“

“Las mejores cemitas y un buen servicio“

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

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.“

“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.“

“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 😃.“

“The lobster here was absolutely delicious, so soft. I especially loved that the meat wasn’t chopped into tiny pieces; you get generous, chunky bites of lobster that are incredibly satisfying and full of flavor. The bread was thick and soft. The perfect complement to the lobster. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
