50 Best Food Trucks near Temple City

“This taco truck is hands down my favorite spot.
• Lengua: Not diced, but served as a thick slab with the perfect balance of flavor and chew. If the world ended tomorrow, this would be on my last meal list.
• Nachos with everything + carne asada: The asada, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and cheese hit perfectly with the round nacho chips. Add the creamy salsa verde and every bite is on point.
• Pastor: Juicy, consistent, and never dry. Exactly what you want when the late-night munchies hit.

I haven’t made it to the seafood yet because my go-to orders are too good, but I’ve seen people rave about the fish tacos. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Just remember to bring cash for tips. Parking is easy on the street or library during non business hours.“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“One of the best coffee spots in Pasadena! Love coming here to get my caffeine fix in. I've tried most of the menu and you honestly can't go wrong picking any drink. They offer hot and iced coffee as well as matcha and a few pastries. The owners are extremely kind people who clearly love what they do and it shows. They also give back to the community which speaks volumes. I cannot recommend this cute little coffee truck enough.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“The food is authentic and so delicious 😋“

“Strawberries and banana Yummie“

“Mas Cafecito has delicious unique coffee flavored drinks. The only thing I was surprised about is that they don't sell regular unsweetened black coffee! How does a coffee place not sell regular black coffee?“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Pound for pound best shrimp tacos in LA and beyond.“

“Hands down, the best taco truck in Pasadena! Established in 1979, Los California Tacos has perfected the art of tacos with their flavorful, fresh, and non-greasy offerings. The service is friendly and fast, making it a go-to spot for taco enthusiasts. Their al pastor and chicken tacos are particularly popular among regulars. Don't miss out on this local favorite!“

“AMAZING!!!!!! Birria tacos, quesabirrias, you name it it's delicious 😋!!!!!! Great service. Family own and you see they care what they serve their guests. Will continue to come with my family 😃.“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“If you’re craving tasty street tacos, Tacos La Guera delivers solid flavor and generous portions—exactly what you’d hope for from a late-night taco stop. The meats are well-seasoned and the tortillas nicely warmed, making every bite satisfying.

Payment is convenient since they accept credit cards, but note there’s an extra fee they don’t mention up front. They also prompt for tips, which feels a bit unusual for a casual street-food stand. It isn’t mandatory, so you can decide for yourself. Overall, great food with a couple of small caveats.“

“We've been there a couple of times in the past few weeks and this truck probably serves the best lobster rolls in the Pasadena-San Gabriel area. Shrimp chips, calamari fry are also some must tries! Hot and fresh food! Our go to lobster food truck in this area.“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“Yummy food and great people!!“

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“I was looking for a good taco place and I came across Covyd Tacos on Yelp and decided to try them. Unaware that they were just serving on tables under a shade during the evenings, I gave them a try and ordered asada and cabeza burritos. I became a regular after that night and they practically knew me by name. Their burritos are very delicious and their servings are generous. They also had quesadillas, and a variety of tacos. They also have Al Pastor which is really tasty. They do not accept credit cards but they accept Venmo payments. I now miss their tacos and burritos since I was only in La Puente for 5 weeks but would be their customer again if I go back to La Puente, California again.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“I come here a lot with my husband and friends but today was very disappointing. I ordered a torta de asada and was very upset. 5 pieces of black aguacate and half a piece of tomato for the entire torta. Than my husband ordered some tacos and the meat wasn’t seasoned and half of the meat was burned. We are very disappointed we have never been disappointed before this is one of our favorite places to go eat. Today the people working their looked new we paid $37 for our food and are upset.“

This taco truck has been my number one option and the price is very reasonable.“

“Las mejores cemitas y un buen servicio“

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“great churros.. and friendly service“

“I’ve lived in the area for 3 years and finally today I decided to visit. I got a campechana cocktail and it was delicious. Fresh and they’re not greedy with the amount of food. Will definitely making a habit to continue coming here. Friendly service too.“

“Delicious food and great service! Mariscos Linda is a hidden gem in City Terrace. The seafood is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the flavors are amazing—especially the aguachile and shrimp tacos. The staff is friendly and the place has a chill, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!“

“na these tacos are BOMB, so much flavor and i asked for my pastor a bit burnt (that’s how i like it) and they gave yummy crunchy pieces with onion and cilantro and pineapple pieces on top with a side of red and green salsa y ya saben que son buenos“

“Dude, I’m really impressed with this little spot. The food is flavorful, fresh, and not greasy, and the gentlemen working here are kind Sinaloenses who are easy to talk to. Authentic Mexican food without the fluff. The tacos are fairly priced and GOOD, the gringa is insane if that’s your thing.

If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, I highly recommend the bowl. The flavors are spot on, the portions are generous (easily enough for two meals), and it’s hearty without being heavy.

This is my new spot. Maybe I’m a little biased since my family is also from Mazatlán, but trust me, this place is authentic and you feel good spending your money here.“

“Came here for the first time with some friends and had some of the best tacos and potatoes ever. The Al pastor is super good. It’s a great place to come and have a rustic experience, don’t come here to expect to have excellent service or anything. It’s just tacos!“

“Some of the best tacos and special treats in east LA. There asada nachos and burritos smack. The salsa here the one of the reasons why this place is amazing it’s nice and spicy as it’s suppose to be. Anyone looking to get some good food for a great price come here and try Jason’s tacos they won’t disappoint. Thank you Jason for always keeping the salsa nice and spicy 1# reason I come here is for the amazing salsa“

“We are from out of state & have family in San Gabriel so whenever we are visiting we look up the Tacos Jalisco truck. We don't have many (if any) food trucks where we are from, and I have been to MX several times and had some real live tacos, and these guys are spot on. I highly recommend!“

“Los mejores tacos � del este de Los Angeles. Vale la pena la manejada de 45 minutos. � � � �“

“This area of highland Park which is to say the stretch of North Figueroa Street from avenue 26 all the way to eagle Rock Boulevard is a little bit of a mariscos desert, other than the shrimp tacos at La Estrella. (El pescador is overrated) So it was very exciting to find out about this truck. Excellent service -- outstanding campechana, savory in a peppery way that was welcome. Shrimp tacos were outstanding . Very convenient and even at lunch time there wasn't a long wait“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“El Jato has the best soft shrimp tacos in all of east l.a. thier botana is also very good. I would recommend this place to anyine looking for good seafood.“

“Strawberry Nutella is Amazing 👌“

“The food was great!! Their ceviche is cooked with lemon, so it is tasty. Their empanadas are the size of a regular tortilla folded in half, so they are not small. Their large fish tacos are twice the size a regular taco - beware!!! Our order was to go and it was a pleasant surprise to see we weren't missing anything. Their salsas are very good too.

Parking: This is not s restaurant. It us a truck, so you need to drive around snd find parking, but it is worth it!“

“I love this taco truck! The service was amazing and everyone was so kind. My boyfriend accidentally dropped all three of his tacos right after getting them 😅 When he went back to order more, they asked if something was wrong with the tacos. He explained what happened and they offered to replace all of them! He insisted on paying for another 3, but when the order was ready, they surprised us with 4 tacos instead! 🥹❤️

Not only was the service incredible, but the tacos were so yummy full of flavor and cooked perfectly. This place is a must try taco truck! 🌮🔥 Thank you guys so much we were so happy and really enjoyed our tacos!“

“buenos tacos 100% recomendados“

“We moved to Highland Park 14 years ago based on our apartment’s proximity to El Pique. Technically we owe El Pique our gratitude for not only for making the finest tacos in LA, but also helping us to find affordable rent controlled housing (we still live in the same apartment). I’ve been vegetarian for almost two decades now and El Pique makes THE BEST vegetarian tacos and THE BEST red salsa in all of the land. My husband who eats meat, orders mainly veggie tacos or their veggie quesadilla. If you haven’t had their veggie quesadilla, you need to get right and order it—no veggie quesadillas is better (if you order during day tho, ask for no lettuce). Their horchata and Champurrado are yummy too. On top of all of this, everyone who works here is a lovely person, they make us smile every time.

El Pique is so beloved among our friends, that we did a band photo shoot in front of the truck and then we introduced El Piq to other musician friends, and they also did a photo shoot there. Again, they’re the best, go there.

We love you El Pique, never change!“

“Comida fresca ,recién hecha!!! Deliciosos platillos de mariscos!!!Gracias“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“Sumo taco is excellent. Quality of meat and fried cheese shell is cooked to perfection. Sauces are light but not watery with excellent flavor. The green sauce is spicier than the red. The Half & Half nachos and fries were AMAZING. Again, the quality of the meats (I loved the asada thr best) and the perfectly cooked fries and homemade chips were perfect. Nice size plate as well.“
