40 Best Food Trucks near Santee

“1st time here, very good burger, will be back, and recommend to others“

“Food is excellent! 👌 Service is friendly and professional. Taco Tuesday deals are awesome 👍 Food is sooo good!!!!“

“This is the best food truck ever. I love the fish tacos. I've made friends with the lady as well, she's great.“

“This place is the best! We’re from Colorado and we found this place three years ago when we were visiting. We’ve dreamt about their fish and shrimp tacos ever since, so we make it a point to stop by whenever we’re in San Diego. This last trip was no different. We even went twice this year because they recommended their garlic and butter fish and shrimp tacos and they’re to die for (along with everything else we’ve had). While they do have outdoor seating available, we ate in our car because we had our pup with us. When we went back, they even said they remembered us. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, the place is clean and the food is tasteful. We just wish they would bring their truck to Denver so we could have them more often!“

“they have the best fish tacos in town at the best price.“

“Our server was outstanding, helpful with the new menus and attentive, even though our food did take a while it was delicious when we got it, and she and the manager made sure we felt taken care of the whole time. Great location and nice, friendly and classy ambience.“

“great tacos. I got the all 3 beef, chicken and pork and they were great! salso was great. can't wait to find them again!“

“great food fast service one of the best cheese steaks ive had“

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting a house party and booked Taco Picasso. I can confidently say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. My guests LOVED it! First and foremost, the food was nothing short of amazing. Each taco was a burst of flavor, with perfectly seasoned meats and fresh, vibrant toppings. The menu offers a delightful variety, catering to all taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic carne asada, tangy al pastor, or crave something more adventurous like their mouth-watering fish tacos, every bite was pure bliss. The ingredients were evidently fresh, and the craftsmanship in each taco was apparent. But what truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The combination of phenomenal food and outstanding service creates an unforgettable dining experience. I can't recommend it highly enough and will certainly be booking their services for more of their delectable tacos. Thank you Ornela!“

“Best chicken shawarma wrap I’ve ever had in my life, and the nicest people serving too! Definitely should try this food truck if you are downtown!“

“great coctel de marisco. food flavorful great service“

“I love this truck it’s so good and fresh“

“First time going here! I was skeptical at first because it’s a bit smaller than i’d like, but it turns out its a lot of fun and not as intimidating as the bigger places and $7 for 1 good sized beer, that’s a good deal! I will be returning soon, so much fun and they play plenty of todays hits and songs I know how to dance to, also no cover charge on Wednesdays!!“

“Delicious, fresh and very authentic Greek! Highly recommend to go check it out!“

“At Helix Brewing and Sourworx tonight. ordered from the food truck. Senor fries. crisp and tasty. lots of options. friendly service. fair prices. come on down and try them out.“

“This place is amazing. Had the fish tacos and shrimp tacos both were deep fried and delicious. Hubby had the aguachile bontanas and it was so fresh and filling. Fresh made tortillas for the tacos and tostadas. Also had the clamato which quenched my thirst.
I was also completely endeared to the fact that it was an elderly gentleman cooking and seemed to have a speech impediment. The time it took to cook the food was well worth the wait“

“I stop here every time I’m in this side of my neighborhood. Take the 15 freeway and Exit El Cajon Blvd, go East a few blocks but don’t pass Menlo Ave. Look for Fish and Birria signs waving. They have the whole parking lot just drive in! I usually have two or three Fish tacos (w/o crema) and a pop then they usually know when I’m done because my to-go order is hot and ready!! My grandson is very picky but he looks forward to their Carne Asada Quesa taco’s. I’ve tried a lot off their menu and have never been disappointed, ever. They also GIVE you a “Consommé” which is actually a small portion of their seafood soup not just the fluid, I’ve had whole shrimp in mine many times and small pieces of fish. They’re not stingy with their variety of hot salsas/chili pods and garnishes (limes, cilantro, onions and pickled onions. Lots of ice cold canned and bottled drinks to choose from. This is my only food truck I trust 100% and love their quality of cooking. You’ll agree too once you try them out!“

“Absolutely love the variety of combos. It allows you to have some of everything in one order. Food was hot and freshly served. Thumbs up on the Mac n cheese, candied yams with my order. They ran out of catfish at the days end today otherwise, It would have been my 2nd consecutive order. Also loved the signature taste of the chicken, and the fact that it was very hot and freshly served. I eat more at home than I do out, but many of their items are like home cooked so I will be back! Much love!“

“This place has been pulling up to my apartment almost weekly and I decided to give it a shot tonight. Admittedly I wasn’t expecting much, I was wrong. IT.WAS.AMAZING. I have lived in San Diego for my whole life and this was hands down the best quality quesabirra tacos I’ve had from a taco truck. Food was amazing price for the portion size. Definitely will be back to try more! Oh and the churros are really good too!

Update from 5 stars, have had this place twice more since initial review but the quality of the food took a slight dip. Still great food truck overall“

“I only put a five so you could see this they don’t got no birra it’s just meat and corn tortilla no hint of red not even fried comes with no dipping sausage they hot sauce taste like tomatoe soup with a little spice don’t go here add food don’t even know how they have almost 5 rating want a good place go to el gordo on convoy and get some real birria“

“Hands down the tastiest Churros in San Diego!“

“exelente comida y mui sabrosa exelente servicio y muy amables“

“Maria is the best! We hired Tacos El Gabacho for my wife's grad school graduation party and we can't wait to recommend her and use her again! She came and set up her taco trailer in our front yard and everyone loved her homemade tortillas, carne asada, pollo asada and al pastor. Awesome food and service!“

“I schedule Bosnian food truck for the high rise community in Downtown where I work at. Ismet has very good customer service and his food is so delicious, the residents are always waiting in line, and they always share with me how much they love this food truck. This is the reason why I keep scheduling this food truck, and for their quality food.“

“First time having BBQ at Bowlegged BBQ. portion are large had the Ribs , Mac n Cheese, Coleslaw, Sweet Corn Bread. Ribs were so good, Coleslaw was refreshing but had a little kit of spice ? ?, Mac n Cheese was also good. The sweet corn bread was so amazingly delicious that I never had one so sweet n moist like the one I had at this place. Defently recommend this place and will come back.“

“They came to the apartment complex I live in and i honestly can’t think of better wings, you can taste the freshness and they have a ton of sauce options, their fries are also really good and cooked perfectly, they also have a vegan option with cauliflower“

“Man where do I begin! This place is the bomb! Hands down some of the best birria in SD the team is incredible as well. I have been going to them since my apartment complex was graced with their presence. I have been tracking them down since. Their birria fries are unmatched and the atmosphere is always a party! If your looking for the perfect food to satisfy some big back tendencies at an amazing price look no further!“

“Muy ricos los tacos de camarón de filete“

“As a Mexican, I’m very particular about my mariscos, and out of the three Mariscos trucks in El Cajon, this one is by far the best. I love their aguachiles, and their fairly priced fish tacos are bomb. Authentic as it gets, to be honest!!“
