The execution is there but there's just no much flavor going on. El pastor is so damn tasteless I found more flavor on the asada and that's saying a lot.

Horrible service. I gave this spot 2 tries to be fair. The first time I ordered quesabirrias and they were extremely greasy. Would NOT recommend them. The 2nd and final time I went I had to wait 10 minutes to order while the lady was on the phone. When I asked her if she would ever take my order, she became very rude and practically yelled at me to continue waiting. This is ridiculous and unethical. I had high hopes for this place since I always drive past it. I suggest everyone keep driving and NOT stop here.

After getting gas at Costco, I came here again! I tried the quesadilla this time and it was so good! The flour quesadilla was only $10. The carne asada was so flavorful. The cheese was also melted and had crispy edges.
Alfredo Sauce
No bueno low grade meat ??

Great food, great service and very convenient, but! It's better to pay cash, don't use card. There's a 3.96 % charge if you pay with card and prices aren't consistent. Pay with cash and always check receipt!

Who doesn't like gas station tacos? This place was poppin' midday. I ordered a couple of tacos. Wasn't too long of a wait but not memorable tacos.

Let me start by saying I've been getting tacos and burritos from this place for years. I've introduced many friends to this place and they've always agreed that their food is amazing. My view on their food hasn't changed, but my last visit will probably be my last time ordering from them. We pulled up and noticed the line was longer than normal, but this didn't bug us because the food is typically worth the wait. Well, when we first got in line to order, there were 3 guys that already ordered and were waiting for their food. Not long after we placed our order, the 3 guys received their tacos and they hovered around the salsa/lime bar while eating. One of the guys kept licking his fingers and rubbing his nose/mouth while eating. After seeing him do this like 10 times, I also saw him grab more salsa and limes without washing his hands. About 10 minutes later these 3 guys received a 2nd order of tacos and, again, hovered over the salsa/lime bar (licking his fingers and rubbing his nose/mouth and all). Another 10-15 minutes pass by and the same guys received a 3RD order of tacos (and even paid for the 3rd order right then and there so idk why they kept getting food before anyone else). Mind you, this is all before me and my wife received our order of 2 burritos (and before many others received their orders). Now, these guys finish their 3rd order of tacos and the woman taking orders asks them if they wanted any more or if they wanted any tacos to go. After they've been gone for about 10 minutes, we finally see our burritos come out and before the woman bagged our food, she took another order. After handling the cash, she didn't wash her hands and went straight to grabbing our burritos so she could bag them. I was too grossed out from the guy licking his fingers and rubbing his nose/mouth to get anything from the salsa bar. The food is great, but the service and cleanliness has ruined it for me. Sadly, I will not be ordering from here anymore.

Finally tried this place on my way and had to make a quick stop. Ordered 6 Carne Asada tacos for $20, and they were worth the cost. Waited about 10 minutes so fast service on a Tuesday evening around 6:15 pm. The tacos were juicy and the tortillas served well to soak up the meat juices and lock in the flavor. The onions and cilantro are a great garnish to pair with the meat. Would try this place again and their other dishes!

Just moved to Edenvale from the East Coast and was looking for some good tacos. I saw this taco truck had good reviews so I gave it a shot. I got there and nervously tried to order in Spanish. I got cinco tacos de pollo. It was $15 bucks and you have to pay in cash. The lady showed me the salsa bar, and i got one of each. The green sauce on the chicken tacos was so good, my Mexican craving is fully satisfied. Will for sure be going back!

My go to neighborhood spot also known as El Pollo y El Gallito...it's good I like the Huaraches but not sure if they still offer it. If you want grilled onions n Jalapeños just ask for it. I like that they are generous with their Salsas. I seen them in three locations but the one I would recommend is the Roeder and Monterey one. The food will taste best when the old man is cooking. Some of these reviews are too hilarious and straight tripping because the food is hella bomb.
My wife had a carne asada burrito and I had one of suadero. My wife said hers was dry, mine was too greasy and, even worse, flavorless. Mine was so lacking in flavor that I could taste the tortilla over any of the contents. Got the spicy (orange) sauce and it was just spicy with no other flavor behind it. Very disappointing and small burrito for $11. Maybe burritos aren't their forte, but I highly doubt I'll give them another chance to find out what is.

Folks, I am not like the 'best' person to ask for when they ask for a Mexican or Latin American food recommendation - but this place... it's the place... The tacos with the orange sauce - oh my God... it's so flavorful and spicy, I am sweating bullets, my face is like slightly numb, but I love it. It sounds masochistic in a way, I know, but it's honestly so freaking good... I easily ate 6 tacos like that in a sitting. My housemate, who normally doesn't eat spicy either, loved it - also 6 tacos. My other housemate always gets the chorizo burrito and he eats that also with the orange sauce, but he likes spicy. My brother enjoyed the tacos too - easily another six. What we liked about the tacos was how soft and flavorful the tacos were. Add the sauces - whatever you may like with it (my brother enjoyed both the orange and green salsas) and it's honestly a top contender. Not the BEST tacos or the BEST burritos, I'm sure, but damn these were really good... I live nearby, so it's hella convenient at both locations, whether it be on Blossom Hill and Snell or on Monterey HW (also at a gas station) - it's really, really good and it is one of the first places I recommend to anyone who wants some delicious eats! TWO things I want to warn - Food can be quite greasy, sometimes the meats taste drier than usual, but honestly, it's not always the case, I chalk it up to being an off-day Again, as a local resident, I'm gonna be back over n over n over again whenever I get the chance!

I live near the Shell gas station where they are parked at the intersection of Snell and Blossom Hill and I have been absolutely curious about this place for some time since I always see a line. The other day I finally ventured out to pick up food. We got the cabeza burrito and pollo quesadilla and I have to say that the food is great for a food truck. I really enjoyed the green avocado salsa. The lady enjoyed the orange salsa. It was too spicy for me. The only thing I'd recommend is that they fix their menu so it's easier to see prices. I assume the TV displays the menu, but it was off the day I went. The prices written on the truck were barely visible. I felt I was blindly paying, but I went for it anyways since just how expensive can a burrito and quesadilla be??? If you ever drive by the area and you're at the intersection of Snell/Blossom Hill, pick up food here! 4/5, would eat here again.

I made a stop here after a great visit to nearby Edevale park. They have a lot of dishes which were new to me like the mulitas, quesadilla de maiz, alambres and chavindeca. The mulitas and al pastor tacos were really good. I also appreciated how cleanliness focused they were. I saw the person change gloves multiple times when they went from cooking to taking orders and also gave me a wipe for my card after they swiped it and handed it back.

They're burrito was DELICIOUS! All the ingredients inside were really good--the rice, beans, cilantro, onions, avocado, and cooked tortilla! However, the meat is not the best :/. Al pastor wasn't that good; the meat was small, kinda dry and drowned in sauce. The carne asada was slightly better but still not amazing. I LOVE their sauces. The Orange is packed with flavor and very spicy. The avocado green is also very delicious.
The execution is there but there's just no much flavor going on. El pastor is so damn tasteless I found more flavor on the asada and that's saying a lot.
