“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Dang the food is delicious here yeah you can't get a margarita but there's a liquor store next door. You can get a michelada and pour some tequila that you got from next door in your drink. I got to tell you the enchiladas I had perfectly acidic not spicy so that you could add the spice you wanted to. The garden I saw that was super tasty char from being on the grill and full of flavor. I will definitely pick this place again over laughing at the any day. And it cost me about 25% less for a plate that was a hundred times better than La Piñata. .“

“About once a week I order food from Los Pericos because it’s always delicious. My preference is their tacos pastor. Today I decided to order the super burrito with chorizo & asked them to cut it in 1/2. They went a step further & individually wrapped each 1/2. I knew this burrito was going to be lunch & dinner, they didn’t. It may not seem like much to many, their customer service is awesome!“

It just gets more beautiful as the night comes. Polite helpful servers that know the menu. Lots of new variations but I went with the Chile relleno, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. It rushed me back to my childhood. Enjoy.“

Tony’s Taco Truck Mexican • $
2955 Merced St, San Leandro

“This taco truck is pure magic!!

Dolores isn’t just cooking — She’s pouring love into every single meal she serves!!

Dolores will often say that she always cooks with love; like she is feeding her own family; her own kids; her dearest friends, and her food is a very good reflection of that!!

I’ve tried several different things on Tony’s Taco Truck’s menu, and each one is deeply satisfying in its own way.

Every flavor feels intentional, every bite comforting.

But for me, their chorizo breakfast burrito? That’s next-level!! Perfectly balanced between scrumptious spicy goodness, and the other classic Mexican flavors that we’ve all come to know and love!! The kind of bite that makes you just close your eyes and throw back your head in pure gratitude that you are even lucky enough to experience something that good, especially knowing not everyone can say that!!

Max is always very attentive and kind, working the window, while his mom works her magic at the grill, like the legend that she is!!

This isn’t just a taco truck — it’s a rolling temple of comfort food!!

Everything here is made with love, and it certainly shows!!“

“My first time coming to this metro location, and the girl misheard my order over the drive thru order speaker.. I wanted one order of traditional flautas, somehow I got 4 tacos ? I was wondering why it cost so much.. so I went in to the establishment (instead of driving around the drive thru again) and explained the situation. Expecting to walk out with the 4 tacos still in hand, frustrated... I was suprised ?... the girl gave me back the $7 or so that I had overpaid, and was given my flautas.. cooked to perfection ??????“

“This place is great. I have been here about 8 times since I found this spot. It's a taqueria, not a full-blown restaurant, so know what to expect.What they do they do exceptionally well. I will focus on tacos. I have had their tacos de Carne asada, Carnitas, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor.Where I think they excell is on their Carne Asada and their Pollo Asado. The carne asada is fresh, grilled, not dry, quality cuts, and a healthy serving per taco. The pollo asado is also grilled, fresh, moist, quality cuts with a healthy serving per taco. Both are simply seasoned with salt. They garnish their tacos with cilantro and onion. They use yellow corn tortillas, which have a great corn flavor, don't fall apart easily, and add depth of character to the tacos.If you order 2 or more tacos, you can make it a plate and add Mexican rice and beans. For beans, you can choose from black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans topped with cheese. The rice is flavorful and moist. The beans are creamy and tasty (I have tried all).The Carnitas are moist and not salty. The Pastor is the kind with pineapple and is on the sweeter side. Both are good. None of the food I have had is salty.The staff are courteous and quick. This place is located by an HS, so timing matters.

Vegetarian options: They have veggie bowls and burritos.

Parking: The parking lot is adjacent, free, but small.“
