honestly really liked this truck apart from the food, the staff there are hardworking and kind people. it was parked outside one of the apartments and the owner went into the apartment to give the front desk staff some free food. i felt like that was a kind gesture and very telling of their character. the food is also really great. we got the macho nachos which was LOADED and fed me for three meals and the aztec burrito with mild sauce. the burrito was HUGE. the flavors are great too and they load up on the toppings

We hired 5 Elementos for a college graduation party, June 2025. First off the food was absolutely amazing! We had access to the entire menu and the churros were the best we've ever had. Service was perfect. We live in Massachusetts so had to do our planning from afar and Jeries made the whole process effortless. 5 Elementos loves what they do and it shows. I can't imagine having a better experience than we had. I'm still receiving texts and emails from our guests commenting about "the food truck!!!" Thank you Jeries and the whole 5 Elementos team!!!

I almost went back to this food truck on the same day, I was just too lazy to walk back up the hill near 5th and Grand. I ordered two tacos, a spicy chicken with corn and a carne asada. Both were bursting with freshness and flavors. Their tacos are made from corn rather than flour. Definitely worth trying.

So happy we ran into 5 Elementos by chance! OG Tacos - Fried Shrimp & Carne Asada

Best food truck in LA! Seriously. I had never had 5 Elementos, but came across them when researching possible catering options for my wedding. We had about 100 guests with varying dietary restrictions including gluten free, vegetarian, and pescatarian. Finding a solution that was also cost efficient was difficult UNTIL I found 5 Elementos!! Jeries runs the business and as soon as we inquired I knew we found our guy. He was very communicative about logistics and worked with our Wedding Day of Coordinator team to come early as to not distract once the Ceremony started. I think this is important because we had them booked on Cinco de Mayo so their schedule was absolutely packed that day. Jeries knew I was also stressed over the presentation of the food in terms of plates so they got the most adorable "boats" to serve the bowls in and I could not have been happier. In terms of the food - OUTSTANDING! All of their menu is built to be gluten free & vegan to start and then you can add on proteins or non-vegan cheese. Personally I don't have any dietary restrictions, but everyone who did told me the food was really really good and made our wedding a hit. During the wedding I ate the Fajita Bowl w/ Chicken Al Pastor and my husband had the Shrimp tacos. Both were amazing and I wish I had had more time to try everything else haha Luckily, we ran into Jeries and the 5 Elementos team 2 weeks after our wedding by luck! He instantly remembered us and gave us a warm welcome :) During this time I got to catch up on all the other food they had to offer and actually sit down to enjoy it all without entertaining during the wedding. The food was just as good as I remembered it and even better! My husband also tried the Fuego Salsa they offer and let me tell you - it does NOT mess around. You've been warned - fuego does in fact mean HOT! Proceed at your own risk ;) They also post their schedule on their website of where they are going to be, so make sure follow it and you too can have amazing Mexican food! I know I'll keep following along for sure and thank you so much to 5 Elementos for making our wedding so so special!!

Thick chips and guac
Matthew M.

Amazing food truck! Food is fresh, staff is friendly, and overall great experience. Fajita bowl with cheese was delicious. Chips were thick, crunchy, and served with guac. Food was made quickly and reasonably priced. They offer catering, which I highly recommend for your next gathering. Didn't try the elote but will next time. Thanks for an excellent lunch, highly recommend!

Delicious food, friendly service, and contact free payments/ordering. I love that I could order and pay from the kiosk outside the truck. They make it easy to personalize your order. You can easily ask for ingredients to be added or removed. I ordered the Cali Dream Burrito, which was huge and jam packed with flavor. It contained crispy seasoned fries, Pico de Gallo, jalapeño crema, chipotle crema, guacamole, and your choice of protein. I had mine with Impossible meat. My burrito was so delicious! The fries inside the burrito were really tasty. This truck offers something for everyone--meat options, and plenty vegetarian and vegan options too. The couple running this truck were so nice and the turn around time was fast. Thank you! I can't wait to eat here again!

Carne asada tacos were so delicious .
Camille R.

Great fresh food . Friendly service . The food truck is really cute . I ordered the carne asada tacos with cilantro , Monterey cheese , onions and green sauce . Best food truck tacos I've had in a long time and reasonably priced . Great presentation too .

Tryna find the meats
David C.

Thought it looked good but very bland. Ordered chicken burrito only to find 5-6 pieces of chicken inside. Very stingy with their protein. Literally paid $15 for a rice and bean burrito. Don't do it. Not worth it. Their rice : bean : meat ratio is all off. Lol.

Is the meat real or is it vegan meat?

The meat is real but the jackfruit is a vegan meat alternative. I believe everything, sauces and all, are vegan here except for the meat.

An LA classic for good reason. I had been looking for an excuse to try this place when I heard…read moreabout it recently. I went last weekend to the Lunar New Year event in NoHo and saw that they had the truck there - it was kismet. I decided to order the Korean short rib burrito for my first dive into the Korean Mexican fusion world. I was not disappointed. Love how the kimchi and short rib work within a burrito, and it's very fair pricing for what you get. I liked that they weren't stingy with the beef. The flavor was savory and had plenty of the umami flavor you expect from Korean bbq, and the kimchi brings a great crunch. The line was long for the truck, but from what I've heard, I may have gotten off easy with only a 30 minute wait - this place is popular! Anyway, really dug it and found it something fascinating and new to me. Excited to try the tacos next.

The line wasn't too bad for lunch on a Thursday but the wait for your food can take 15 minutes. The popular things I heard being ordered were the short rib tacos and the short rib burrito. My go to is the burrito and it is still delicious. So much Korean bbq flavor! It was large and stuffed with the short rib goodness, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes and a little cheese. Sounds like a breakfast burrito doesn't it? With a side of kimchi, my lunch was perfect. One of the few trucks I would consider a favorite. If you see it, don't second guess yourself. Get the burrito or a taco at the very least!

I ended up getting nacho with pulled pork and green salsa, and I was not satisfied at all. Portion was good, but the proportion was quite bad. I never thought i would ever dislike a dish with too much meat, but this place completely overloaded on the pork, with little tomatoes and onions. Cheese was sufficient, but the nachos probably would have been better with more ingredients. Also, the salsa was quite nonexistent (or maybe the pork covered all the tasted). For $13, i would not say it was worth- service was pretty fast though.

Placed an order for chicken tenders and fries only to receive a sorry pile of "food" burning through a styrofoam plate. The fries were mostly edible but the tenders swept me down memory lane to elementary school lunchtime. McDonalds can serve real meat chicken for pennies, yet this place can get away with selling six pieces of fluffy, mystery meat nuggets masquerading as tenders for $10?!? They even managed to burn the hell out of whatever form of protein/cardboard they are currently hawking out of the back of this truck. Post script - a coworker ordered the nachos and was equally unimpressed as the chicken was covered in the unmistakable smell of sea food. Nice.

Ordered a Lox Bagel with Cream Cheese, lettuce, and tomato, toasted. I also got Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese & sliced tomato. Both bagels were FRESH AND DELICIOUS!! They didn't skimp out on the ingredients. Also toasted. It was perfectly toasted to my own liking. Both guys inside the truck gave a nice welcome, and had a pleasant smile on their faces. Didn't have to wait to long for the food to come out. There were maybe 6 people before me. I ate both bagels right on the street. They have few outside seating, don't accept cash, have bottles/cans of cold drinks, have only street and metered parking, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This interesting truck dining experience has been around since 2014 and is owned by Jewish people. The truck goes to different locations. I went to the one close to my house and it is located in Ventura Place among other small boutiques, and restaurants. Will definitely return. Thank you all!!
