50 Best Taco Restaurants near San Lorenzo

“Good food at a great price“

“How have I not left a review yet? Because this place is a Blu3 Diamond in the rough. Excellent and delicious, high quality treats served with such ease and without that modern hassle of tip iPads and review receipts. Make a stop here and experience possibly San Lorenzo/Hayward/San Leandro's most uniquely authentic, fun and flavorful take on Mexican cuisine to date!“

“I haven’t had a milkshake at Jack in a box for many years . They used to be so good but the one I got today wasn’t good at all. When I tried to drink it nothing would come up in the straw. I took the straw out and sucked the whip cream put . Put it back in and still no ice cream . I got vanilla and I never even tasted vanilla . All it tasted like was whip cream and it wasn’t a good taste . So I paid over $5.00 for a shake with hardly any ice cream in it . If I ever get a shake there again I will ask for no whip cream .“

“We were looking for a taco place with my sister and we found this place. It is very clean and very friendly. It is so delicious, especially the tacos al pastor and the burritos are super large. I recommend them“

“Amazing Tortas, tacos, nachos, and more!“

“el sazón está muy bueno,las personas muy amables“

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.“

“👍🌮🌮🌮🌮🌯🌯🌯🍛🍛🥘🥙🥗🍤🍤🍗🌮🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍳🌮🌯🌮“

“Came here for a baked potato and realized theres so much more to it than that! They had some delicious birria tacos and even birria ramen! The fish tacos were so delicious too. Im not usually one to divert from my usual agua de pepino but the drink with pineapple and i think it was spinach or something, i cant remember, but it was soo yummy too. The only thing that was really hard to figure out was parking. I spent like 30 minutes each time just going around the whole thing looking for parking. To be fair it was rush hour so there was a lot of traffic too.“

“I love coming here for burritos and nachos (The tacos aren't my favorite). The portion sizes for burritos and nachos are huge and make it worth the price. A super burrito lasts 2 meals for me. All the staff has been very friendly each time I visit.“

“This place looks a little 'sketchy', BUT the food is very good. I was working an event at the Oakland Colesium, and this was the only place you could walk to. If you can speak a little Spanish, it goes a long way. I got the Cubana sandwich, and it was so big, I could only eat half of it.“

“Great quality, always get it the way you ask for it, reasonable prices.... I stayed on a late night truck run when my wife was pregnant. You could throw a rock and hit 5 taco trucks in the same area and none are as good. There's this one guy who always asks about my kids always is friendly but he's the same way with everyone, no favorites. Quality spot in the cut...“

“Felt like I was back in the motherland (Mexico). The dark, sketchy street just adds to the atmosphere. This place takes zelle if you don't have cash. The tacos are 3 bucks a pop, and they fill them fat. Best dang taco I've had in a while.“

“best street corn ever !! looking forward to trying there other stuff“

“Amazing food! I go here twice a week probably and they even remember my name now. It’s all really good so I switch it up. The buche is unusual so I like to get that and it’s very fresh . Very nice people and clean. My go to is 4 Asada tacos with a chile on the side. You won’t regret making this place a new favorite.“

“Wonderful customer service. Friendly and fast. This charming nostalgic diner caters to classic American comfort foods.“

“I swear these tacos de Barbacoa are crack. SOO DELICIOUS!“

“? Alright folks, here’s the deal: Living in Alameda has me often yearning for some legit taco action. But I’ve found that I usually need to head over to Oakland to truly satisfy those cravings. And that’s exactly how I ended up at this taco truck!Nestled in Oakland, this spot was a serendipitous find on an evening adventure. The setting is chill, making it the perfect backdrop for some true street taco vibes. And speaking of streets, there’s a handy parking lot right at the corner, so you can just park and wander over with ease.I dove into two pastor and two carne asada tacos, and even though they’re on the petite side, they don’t skimp on flavor. My plate was brimming with extras - a generous helping of radishes and jalapeños which added that fresh zing to every bite. And oh, those salsas! Perfectly spiced and absolutely delightful.Now, are these the all-time champions of my taco experiences? Maybe not. But when the taco craving hits in Alameda, this Oakland gem is definitely worth the short trek. Can’t wait to see what the rest of their menu holds on my next visit!“

“Sweet Mex makes the BEST Mangonada around! They're unmatched. They also make delicious food. The Carne asada tacos are delicious, the street corn is tastey, & the tostiloco's satisfies every bit of my savory craving for the day. Basically, they have a little something for everyone! Salty, Sweet, refreshing...you name it, they GOT IT! 🤩“

“I hope I find this in heaven. Hands-down, one of the best Carnitas I’ve had. Run out of a taco truck in a very unassuming location. Juicy, tender and they give generous portions. I got that fairly late at 2PM and everything was sold out except for the carne. The person I spoke to said to come early usually before noon if you want to have a taste of everything else. There are two tents set up with tables and chairs.“

“Thrifty prices for this food truck if you’re hungry and near Hegenberger. It’s a good find particularly since they offer a $8 veggie burrito ? tax is included so that’s a bonus. I had the chicken one and it’s ok.-the red sauce was better that average and fresh radishes, pickled carrot slices and quality jalapeños.The churros were fresh, temperature hot, 10”, and outstanding— nice servers plenty of parking ?️ I will revisit ? grateful they are there ☀️“

“Fantastic place to get tacos after a round of disc golf at Oyster Bay. Portion sizes are large, prices are good, the staff is super friendly, and most importantly, everything is delicious! The queso birria were outstanding and the carnitas was excellent, both in a taco and in a burrito. As a side note, the washroom was *immaculate*! My only minor niggle is that I didn't think their salsas were up to the caliber of the rest of their offerings. The music was a bit loud for me which is why I gave atmosphere 4 stars rather than 5, but it might be because I'm old. I will definitely be returning!“

“I recently moved to the neighborhood and called a pick up order for a burrito. They were so kind to call me back because I forgot to mention the type of beans I wanted. When I went in, they were extremely nice and my burrito was massive. Chips and salsa were great. Large drink selection. Everything they do is in house. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great taco in oc and cheap. And they have so many other thing and platos if you know what that is check it out if your over by thier worth the stop“

“This place is actually underrated! The burrito bowl is delicious and I've seen other dishes that looked tasty. Also I think google need to recreate the star rating because if the food is delicious but I didn't like how the bathroom didn't have hand soup. The restaurant doesn't deserve 1 star for that. I'm reading reviews for 1 &2 stars and I'm going that's not 1 or 2 star worthy. That's petty“

“Best tacos in town love pastor love the carne azada“

“Food is hot. and super delicious“

“Chicken burrito was excellent. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. The carnitas tacos were good not as fresh as I'd like it to be but I did order later in the evening on a Saturday. I liked that the tortillas for my tacos weren't oily like other taco places. I would stop in again if I'm ever in the area.“

“best burrito EVERRR..online orders only“

“tacos were bomb and the salsas were delicious.. we will be going back“

“Good honest taco truck, great value, huge portions. Takes cash, Zelle, and Venmo.

If you’re an Olympic swimmer who just finished a workout then the super burrito here would be perfect for you. I stopped by after a 40 min bike ride and even the regular burrito had me stuffed.

Only possible downside is you’ll sit at a plastic table in a gravel patch shaded by trees. Or in your car in the parking lot just adjacent. But let’s be honest, that’s EXACTLY the vibe what you want from a taco truck :)“

“los mejores tacos y el mejor servicio siper recomendado.“

“Buen dia. This roadside taco stand is 🔥🔥🔥. Fresh tortillas, al pastor on the spit, suadero, tripas, a little table to sit at; it's a really nice family-run-joint, and cheap. I know I sound n smell like a gringo... but this place is the real deal. Sincerely, Mr. Poco Tonto“

“Best Mexican food in the Bay Area hands down. Terrible area, but the food is so good. Pro tip, EVERYWHERE you go tacos are $3.25+, so don’t get them. Get a quesadilla or burrito instead. Tacos are universally overpriced and too small, especially when you’re like me and eat 6 in one sitting.“

“The tacos and everything are very good, they just have to improve the issue of the lemons, where they buy them, because they don't have anything sumo, and you only ask and order lemon because they don't add any sumo, but otherwise the food and the tacos I love them“

“One of the best mexican food I’ve ever tasted. I love everything they served! The best comfort food. I hope can visit union city again.“

“I was skeptical because they are in front of a house but an all honesty their tacos ???? are delicious and I also tried there tortas and they are on point as well,I have another taco down the street Taqueria Sinaloa but they got sloppy with their food.I rather go to Tacos la Cabana and they also sale menudo and birria on Saturday mornings.TRY THEM you will not be disappointed and I am a picky eater so I was surprised I liked them.“

“It's not bad. Tacos de tripas. The tripas are almost on point but just really depends on the person I like them a little bit crunchy.
The only downside really was the portion size and the tortilla was a bit raw it didn't fully heat up. The other downside is the sauces.
The green sauce is not hot nor does it have flavor or salt it's just smushed sauce.
And the red one almost looks like ketchup texture with no flavor either. I could taste more the grease from the taco then the sauces.
Overall I'll say it's a 4 star the first time I showed up I wasn't a fan of it but this was years ago.
Add oil to the tortillas or tortillas all vapor also hits the spot.“

“Great food on a great Sunday!“

“The fish tacos were really good, one of the best I've ever had“

“Delicious food!! The atmosphere here is great and all the staff is super friendly! Would recommend one of the top places in alameda for tacos and burritos!! 🌯 10/10“

“Food like a homemade traditional kitchen the asada is amazing and fresh. Delicious food wonderful people. The website needs to update prices on the menu, the burrito grande is $12.59 now, but so worth it. Comes with avocado slices beans rice meat onions cilantro etc“

“I'm from Hartford, Connecticut, I used to live in Oakland for a spell. I would go to all the taco trucks around my area and this one was the best by far. This one always was packed because it had the best tacos and horchata. I would get chicken tacos or shrimp tacos or fish tacos. They are all amazing and authentic. You know the best place to eat is where the locals go and you'll notice all the Mexicans go here. Plus everybody else. International boulevard is is packed with ladies of the night. Basically naked so be prepared for that LOL“

“Son las mejores pupusas del area! Las chicas siempre muy amables 💓💓 los platanitos siempre están riquísimos , suaves y dulces!“

“I’m vegan and got fed very well here. The crispy potato tacos w a side of cabbage salad was so delicious and filling. Their house made hot salsa is out of this world with flavor. I’m rarely in this area but will come back for these tacos. Can’t wait to try their rice and beans.“

“I've been driving past this amazing kitchen on wheels for the past yr and never have I bothered to stop & look. This ain't just a taco truck, they do breakfasts, burgers & birria. What more can you ask for. Run by nice folks. I'll definitely be back.“

“Biggest torta I ever had! Big enough to share and packed with meat also pineapples! The tacos , burritos and nachos was so flavorful too! The owner was really nice and friendly made me feel comfortable! There is plenty parking and a cute little seating area and also a park for the kids to play around! Highly recommend!“

“amo las tortas De esta lonchera 😍😍“
