49 Best Food Trucks in San Jose

“The caterer for my daughter's wedding canceled a week before the wedding. Latin-Asian-Fusion Kitchen came through with exactly what was needed. The help was sincere and the food was great. Everybody complimented the food and there was plenty. Roddy responded to us promptly and kept in touch throughout the week and event. Great experience!!“

“Best hot chicken, as spicy (or not) as you like it. Generous potions, friendly service. The new option to order ahead online is much appreciated. We are lucky to live nearby.“

“Great food! I tried the asada, chorizo, and lengua tacos—each one flavorful and well-cooked. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The food truck has a simple, welcoming vibe, perfect for a quick meal. I’ll definitely be back to try more items from their menu!“

“I'm speechless! In yearsssss ( when I say years,'over 19) I didn't get a yummy carne asada taco! I never order asada anywhere, cause of the lack of flavors, but we tried this place today (02/22/2025) yesss Mexicans eat
tacos for breakfast too! And it has to be so good!! well! This is the place! I ate an alambre scared to try the asada, but my bf gets asada always! And told me it was bomb worth to try! I ended up ordering 2 asada tacos extra.. one for him and one for me!! And the sweet person that was cooking gave me another al pastor taco, whichhhhh I freaking loved! The sweet lady at the cashier so helpful and kind! We're definitely coming back again, We'll spread the word with friends!! Also, guys, the price was so worth it and affordable! Btw the aguas frescas have real fresh fruit! Do yourselves a favor and try this place!! Its my number #1 Mexican place for yummy tacos! 🌮 Sorry I didnt even take photos, which I regret!“

“Best shrimp tacos I’ve had in my life. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and the house-made tortillas were soft and fresh. The place was clean, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the owner and staff were so friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The freshest fruit i've found so far. Other stands the fruit aren't ready or they are sour. This was perfect. Wanted light tajin and she put just the right amount. Perfect amount too. Choose Mango, Cantaloupe, & Watermelon. All for 3$“

“I just recently discover this birria food truck and I’m in love with the flavor, this has been so far one of best birria spots that I’ve tried in San Jose. Food truck is a little tricky to find but there’s plenty of parking once you find it. Only cash or Zelle, 10/10.“

“This food truck and the owner are amazing!!!! When I drive down from Pakland to get my car worked on at Dhillon Motorsports, which is equally amazing, I walk over and get whatever she makes!!!! It's tasty, yummy, filling and addictive!! See you again! Muchas Gracias sonora!!“

“Very fast service, Staff is friendly, and the food is SO GOOD!🤤“

“Los mejores taquitos que eh probado!! Todas las carnes súper ricas, las salsas y hasta las tortillas muy deliciosas igual que en la ciudad de Mexico. 100% recomiendo este lugar!“

“The service that the girl provided me was great, she welcomed me with a big smile and was very friendly, the tacos were delicious, I liked the asada ones better than the pastor's. The roasted ones had more flavor. It's a shame that the jalapeño is not spicy at all, but apart from that, very “

“great snack menu and delicious ice cream, highly, highly recommend!“

“I tried almost every taco truck in San Jose today I decided to tried this family business I didn't had enough money but thank God the person took my order was very generous and the cook women was very warm welcome person I order 3 tacos de carnitas and 3 de pollo and a side order of beans and rice the food was warm delicious I told the cook women I will be back for the tacos de chicharones God bless you all ???“

“Very authentic Mexican food. The tortillas, sopes, and huaraches are hand made and make everything that much more delicious. We tried 1 sope de chorizo, 1 huarache de carne asada, 1 taco de asada, and 1 taco de pollo and all of the food was soooo satisfying. We also got an agua de piña con mango and saying that it was refreshing is an understatement. All the people working were attentive and they also do catering FYI! Can’t wait to be back to try their tamales oaxaqueños and their tlayudas.“

“This the second time I buy at this taco truck, the food is amazing anything u buy the flavor for the food is bomb!!!!!! And the amount of beef on the food is a lot u get satisfied ,I will coming back again this my new favorite place I give them more than 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I stopped by and met Luis, Maria, Orlando, and Won , they were so warm and welcoming, and you could tell they take real pride in what they serve. The food was absolutely worth it : the Cuban sandwich was perfectly toasted, flavorful, and packed with the right balance of ingredients. On top of that, the conversation made the whole experience even better. It’s not just great food , it’s genuine people and good vibes. Definitely coming back!“

“Quality food! Good people!“

“I wish we ordered more!

Stopped by for a post-climbing snack to share, it was pretty close to closing when we got there. We passed by on our way to the gym and were so excited by the smell we knew that we had to grab a bite after.

We ordered one Al Pastor Mulita ($9) & one Auga Fresca (I believe it was ~$5)!

They had horchata and pineapple for the self-serve drink options. We got the Pineapple, it was a bit sweet since it was close to the bottom of the pitcher, but once the ice melted down, it was perfect. Additional refills do cost extra, but totally worth it for the size of the cup they give!

The mulita came out in less than 5 minutes and it was piping hot, oozing with cheese, and you get as much grilled onions and peppers as you want on the side. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the tortillas are homemade. I could honestly eat the tortillas on its own!

The al pastor itself was very tender & well seasoned. I really enjoyed the amount of pineapple chunks they mixed into the quesadilla! The caramelized onions on the side were sweet and still had a slight crunch to them.

There are also several homemade salsa bottles on the tables. We tried two different ones, which I unfortunately can’t recall which ones, but both were refreshing & not too spicy. It was the perfect compliment for the mulita!

The staff was so kind— even while they were closing up and cleaning up, they still let us use their dining area. They also gave us a free refill of aguas frescas because it was going to be tossed after they closed anyways!

As I’m looking back at pictures of the mulita now, I’m still surprised by the sheer size of it! I’ll definitely be back to try some of their other items, I’m very excited to try their Sope some time.“

“Best tacos on the East side of San Jose. I’ve coming here for years since when they only had a carreta de tacos. They really upgraded over the years, now they offer aguas frescas in different flavors. The tacos are always delicious, my favorite son los de ojo y al pastor!“

“Best barbacoa in the bay! It’s a regular for my fam. We had a birria seca with their delicious salsas and endless tortillas, an order of enchiladas and an order of tacos dorados de adobera. It was delicious!! Family own and local. 100% recommended!“

“Got the quesadilla with mushrooms and it was delicious. The salsa was flavor full but not too hot. Tbh I expected huitlacoche but that’s okay, it was still good. I heard some people complaining about the pricing like pre-Hispanic Mexican food should be cheap. If you want cheap food, go somewhere else. They price appropriately for Mexican food with handmade tortillas and salsas. Y’all would be complain if it was French or Italian food with sauce from a jar. Get used to paying for what good food is worth or gtfo.“

“Delicious,fresh, fresh, fresh and reasonably priced - actually better than reasonable. Generous portions.

I will definitely return to try other recipes.

Place your order if need dozen(s)because when they run out, you’ll need to wait for next pot.

And you’ll receive extra the more you order 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 THE BEST customer service. Thank you!“

“I love this place the staff is so sweet specifically Liz. The food was so fresh and delicious. We got the beef soup which was super homey, hearty and amazing. We tried the bean and cheese Pupusa and the Pupusa taco with chicken. Everything was really yummy.“

“I can’t believe how good the waffle chicken sandwich was! Loved it from the first bite to the last bite! Great atmosphere. Great seating and customer service!

Kid-friendliness: Jumping Jack House for kids with seating directly across from the seating area for parents/guardians to watch their kids.“

“Staff very friendly and helpful with information about the location and hours of service very tasty tortillas“

“Ramenbirria, is so delicious. Everything they prepare is off the hook! 10/10. Definitely worth trying !“

“These are the best tlacoyos and Hidalgo barbacoa I've ever tried. So if you want to try authentic Mexican food you need to make a stop at this place. As a Mexican this place takes me home in every bite, I lived in Mexico City and even there was hard to find a place with this flavor. The coconut water is delicious. Mr. Jose and his wife are very nice and hard working people. Everything in this place is exquisite!“

“There tacos were delicious I will be going back 😋“

“The food here is fantastic customer service is excellent the atmosphere is not the greatest but I guess the food makes up for it prices are reasonable they toss up fresh tortillas either corn or flour right there in front of you just keep your guard up not the safest area to hang out or to be more than an hour“

“Oh my hidden gem...

I've been meaning to find good schwarma and honestly thought Falaffel Stop was a 10/10. Meatfactory is an 11/10.

Gadi has mastered the spices and herbs to a level I thought wasn't possible. I made sure to grab a 2nd order because I felt so bad eating something so good without my wife.

I love the chill ambiance and come as you are vibe too.“

“2nd time having Tacos Mexicanos Don Ely cater our daughter's bday party and these tacos were the highlight of our party. The couple has always been super nice to us, and the steak, chicken, and carnitas tacos are to die for. Highly recommend visiting their taco truck for lunch or dinner, or inquiring about catering options!“

“I BEEN GOING TO PEPE FOR A LONG TIME. HE IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN MARISCOS IN SAN JOSE AND BAY AREA AND I STAY LOOKING FOR SIMILAR IF NOT BETTER BUT CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING BETTER AND FULL OF TASTE WITH MANY DIFFERENT VARIETY PLATES TO DIFFERENT SAUCES TO LEVELS OF CHILI HOTNESS. HE IS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY ATTENTIVE TO HIS CUSTOMERS AND MAKES SURE YOU LEAVE SATISFIED. IF YOUR READING THIS AND DECIDING TO TRY IT. TRY IT!!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO OPEN UP A RESTAURANT!!!“

“You have to come out and give this Authentic mexican food from this truck here a try you can stay and eat while watching tv outdoors also there is a store right next door where you can get all your beverages from the lady cooking will have you hungry soon as you pull in with all the aromas coming from the food she is cooking you must try this truck“

“I was there last night and had the Platillo Durango. It was delicious. A lot of food for $17.99. Ate the stuffed pepper, beans and rice; Very good! Took the two enchiladas and tamale home for a meal today. Really tasty food. Can't wait to go again.“

“We came here from Florida and wanted to try something unique. The food here is delicious. This picture is all we have left from 3 containers. We are full and very satisfied with the food. And the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this to travelers and locals alike.“

“My favorite place to eat 👍🏽“

“One of my favorite food trucks and they are conveniently near my home. I don't understand how they are not busier. I will continue to enjoy one of my favorite trucks without a wait most evenings. Great tacos, by favorite item here are the fully dressed tamales. The ladies are always friendly and prepare everything to order. Great value and delicious.“

“The absolute best Mexican food I’ve had in the United States so far, unlike most Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area, the cooks at Chavindecas Rossy actually season their meat very well, especially the adobada, so you can’t go wrong whether you order tacos or chavindecas (quesadillas stuffed with meat served with 3 different salsas and a small roasted onion) each of the 3 salsas they serve is absolutely delicious, they also sell great cheeses and candies made in Mexico, this is as close as it gets from all the places I’ve tried to the flavor and quality of the food in Mexico, the price is well worth it every single time.“

“Grew up eating here as a kid since it was a taco stand not a taco truck and the tacos always hit. They’re a good size bigger than most spots with premade tortillas since they make it fresh here in house. Delicious none spicy salsa verde, with their own orange sauce that has a nice kick but not overwhelming. Unfortunately they are now charging 4 dollars a taco which makes me big my eyes out the wall. I will still come here but I can’t afford 4 dollar tacos even if they’re bigger all the time. I was okay with the 3.75 price change they had a few months back but in this economy this has now become a treat instead of regular dinner. Still delicious and worth it just personally can’t afford this price change.“

“Bought carne asada burritos and they were so good. We’ll definitely come back and try other foods on the menu. I give 5 ⭐️ Reynaldo“

“La verdad la comida está deliciosa y muy buen servicio“
