    Taco truck

    Another great taco truck in Orange County! Delicious authentic tacos with all the fixings.

    Amazing food, and service. Gotta have the asada mullitas....made with love. Delicious!

    Torts de Milanesa de res

    We came to this truck craving some tacos de tripa, but I saw on their menu the torta I knew I had to get it, it was super packed with meat and it was delicious, the costumer service was great, I had one of the best tortas I had in a long time!

    Hoy aproximadamente como las 4 de la tarde fui comer y ordene u na picadita roja y me prepararon a la mitad de(chile queso y crema) le dije a un cocinero que me la acabara de preparar porque no la habian preparado bien no entendio y le bacio el bote de chile del que dan para los tacos y no me la pude comer poque picaba demasiado..se lo tire y solo me quedo la tortilla embarrada del chile.entonces fui con el dueño o cajero y le trate de explicar y con actitud me contesto se la prepararon bien ..yo. mire ese señor es un despota le falta servicio al cliente y por esa accion no lo recomiendo!!!!

    Looking forward to some tacos!

    Great tacos and fantastic food truck. Everything we've had from here has been awesome. We also stop by the market next to the truck and pick up whatever we need to make tacos at home too.

    The best!!

    Amazing taco truck nestled in front of a Mexican supermarket. No matter what you get it won't disappoint. They have great quality ingredients and delicious condiments to accompany the tacos. The staff is friendly and welcoming so you won't have trouble ordering. *They don't have seating so be prepared to eat standing or in the back of your car. The salsas are really good and pack a nice kick to your food. Be mindful of the amount if you don't like too much spice. Overall, delicious... flavorful... and has you wanting more.

    There are 2 tacos under that goodness.

    My friend suggested we try this place last week and I have to say it was a great find. The truck is bright pink/purple so you cannot miss it. It is parked next to the Northgate market, which you can use but do park further away from the main rows away from their customers. If it does get busy then there is plenty of street parking. Now, onto the food. You may not be able to see it, but there are two tacos under the layer of radish and cactus. I was trying to figure out if it was grilled peppers instead, but someone next to me told me it is really cactus. I ate a piece while waiting for my friend to get his tacos, and yeap, delicious cactus. I had a late lunch so I only ordered a cabeza and a tripa taco, with a long neck bottle Coke. If you did not know, Mexican Coke uses real cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, and it comes in a glass bottle. People debated whether if it is the cane sugar or glass that makes MexiCoke taste better. I prefer MexiCoke because I like the taste vs. regular Coke, but can decide on that yourself. Both my tacos came out with everything on it, and I suggest you do the same unless you have some sort of food allergy. I only added a little lime and small amounts of the green salsa because I did not want to overwhelm these tacos on my first time. The cabeza was juicy and flavorful on all 3 bites, and the tripas was nice and crispy on 4 bites. Yes, I took 4 bites because I wanted to savor it in smaller chunks. Every melded together nicely in my belly as I washed it down with my cold MexiCoke. I am definitely coming back to this place to try different ones, but the next time it will be 4+ tacos because....well....I like good food.

    Everything is delicious the only issue is the wait prices are also a bit steep. The wait is because they make everything fresh worth it.

    If you're a fan of churros, Don Churros Gomez is THE place to go! I've always been a fan of churros…read moreand have been meaning to go here. When my daughter had a dance competition in the area, I knew I had to go!!! Its located on 4th Street in Santa Ana but I've heard they also have a food truck that goes out to Anaheim as well. The place on 4th street though has street parking, be prepared to possibly circle around a few minutes to find a spot. Also, make sure you have coins to feed the parking meter! My daughter and I came on a Saturday evening and must've got there at a good time as there was only a handful of us in line. After ordering, it did get much, much longer! As in, right out the door! Its not a huge place...several tables along the wall to the left while on the right is the area where the magic happens! This is where they make the churros and towards the back, right is where the ordering is done. We ordered the Churros with ice Cream, Don Churro style with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of nutella and a full thread of regular churros. I will have to say that these have got to be the best damn churros I've ever had!! They make them on the spot and not until you've made your order. They're so light, airy and not even oily!!! They're just soooo sooo good! We brought our boxes of churros home for the rest of our family to enjoy. There was so much that we couldnt finish it right away so we air fried what we had left the next day and it was still pretty darn good. For what you get, prices are quite reasonable! Now i'm just trying to get back out there sometime for their deliciousness! If there's a line, its worth the wait!!! Two thumbs up for Don Churros Gomez!

The atmosphere is awesome - music is chill, not too loud, so you can hear each other talk. The dessert is where they win. Everything's fresh baked. The churros are delightful and they come in different flavors. Chocolate was my favorite - crispy outside, soft inside, perfect with the dipping sauce. Heads up: It does get busy and there's usually a line. But honestly, it's worth the wait. Come on down and try it yourself. You won't regret it.

It makes my stomach worse than the food we ate here to leave a bad review on a small business - especially a food truck. Which by the way some of the best food I have had has been from food trucks. It's seems there is more love into the food they serve. The location was not too bad, accessible with decent street parking. Clean & simple setup - canopies, folding tables & stools. The stools look questionable but were sturdier than they look. Nice CLEAN salsa bar. Oh they were not stingy on the napkins - a bonus for me! The cashier was not that personable. My friend's daughter ordered. She asked for sour cream on her quesadilla. He laughed sarcastically & said no sour cream. My tacos had bland dry bits of meat. My cousin & her friend's burritos were too hot.

    Taco Gutierrez you have my whole heart!…read more After having moved to Santa Ana last year this has become my go-to spot for tacos close by. It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).

I was honestly surprised by the 2.9-star rating because the photos made the food look delicious, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Overall, I thought it was great. The meat was really good, very flavorful without being over-seasoned or overly salty. I love hibachi-style food, but a lot of places tend to go heavy on the soy sauce and other seasonings, which can make everything taste extremely salty. That wasn't the case here at all. The flavors were well balanced, and nothing tasted salty or overpowering. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, they were soft but not mushy and I liked that they used large pieces of broccoli instead of tiny chopped bits. The only thing I didn't love was the $6 upcharge for fried rice. All of the bowls and plates come with white rice by default, and while the base price of the bowls was fair enough that I still went ahead and ordered the fried rice, the price difference feels a little steep. It seems like they could charge a couple dollars more for the bowls and a couple dollars less for the fried rice instead, because a $6 increase just to put the rice on the grill and add some sauce feels a bit out of line. Other than that, though, the Service was fast and friendly, the food itself was really solid and definitely satisfied my hibachi craving. I'd definitely go back!
