Food truck
Dung N.

Artesano Food truck is located at Alesmith Brewing Company. While we waited for our food, hubby got a beer and sat outside in the patio. We ordered the gringa, a bunch of tacos, their famous the el tigre quesadilla, and Mexican sopapillas for dessert. It took about 20 minutes to get all of our food and it looked amazing. The Pesco Fresco was the taco of the month was my favorite. It had seared yellowfin tuna crusted with sesame seeds. It had slivers of jalapeno, sweetened cucumber salad, tossed with lime, salt, and agave. Their tortillas are made fresh with each order! All of their tacos were flavorful and unique. I also loved the sopapillas too. They were nice and puffy! Everything was delicious and service was great. I need to try their tacos of the month every month!

Taco plate...carne asada & pollo asado

Artesano Taco truck is at our favorite Alesmith every Wednesday. They have incredibly tasty fresh tortillas and their carne asada and pollo asado tacos were very tasty...nicely seasoned and great portions. The beans and rice were meh at best but the tacos definitely made the meal. Their salsa seemed to be generic canned in portioned containers...fine but nothing special. All in all decent meal for decent price.

We hired Carlos and his team for our wedding, and it was a HIT!! Carlos is extremely professional and kind, and the food is delicious. I couldn't recommend him enough! Go for the desserts too :)

Burritos
John B.

Found this truck at a local craft brewery during a work-related happy hour. Everyone who ordered from the Artesano Tacos liked their food! I ordered Artesano's Famous Mexican Burrito. It's their family recipe from Durango. Flour tortillas filled with shredded beef marinated in a tomatillo salsa and served with light mayo and freshly sliced avocado. I enjoyed these! Flavorful. Not dry. There was a sufficient amount of beef. Their online menu claims that the salsa is a little spicy. It is not. My order came with chips and a small side of vegetables with some salsa. They were pretty standard. No complaints. I appreciated the vegetables with salsa. They do have other sides (such as rice and beans) available for an additional cost, but I did not find that necessary as my plate was plenty for me. Consider adding more sides if you are feeling especially famished. ___EXTRA INFO___ -They make their corn tortillas by hand onsite. -Additional specials are available, but you would need to check out the physical menu wherever the truck is located. -Prices are reasonable. Thanks for an awesome dinner, Artesano Taco! I hope to catch you at another brewery one day.

Carlos and the Artesano Taco crew! All set up and ready to serve our guests!

We had these wonderful tacos for our Cinco de Mayo party on May 2nd 2024. Carlos and his crew showed up early and started to set up and cook the delicious site made tortillas and all of the other taco components that eventually came together and made a delicious and fun fiesta! All of our 85 guests raved about the taste and quality and we will definitely use them again next year!

I have tried the food from Artesano Taco truck twice and both the times it did not disappoint. Food tastes amazing. Highly recommend them.

Twice I got complimentary soup, twice did not. Maybe end of day is better in terms of what they give out. Sometimes there's condiments. Their outdoor eating area kind of changes too a bit sometimes. I get the OG taco usually and my gf gets the ceviche. Never had complaint although on most recent trip the ceviche seemed smaller portion. The taco was 5.99 each and fish seemed bigger than usual. I kind of suspect that as they close down they give bigger portions of what they have left. They had sold out of octopus and other menu items. Do try get there before 6:30pm cause they do start packing around 6:45 ish. Quality is good, tastes fresh. Tacos were filling for just $12. You're probably not supposed to but I often park in complex across street but street parking is easier. There's a $1 fee for credit so bring cash if that's a concern. Place is a go to for me and there isn't a crazy line like at other restaurants usually. Convenient, decent value, decent service, and good quality

The down side, They are a little bit pricier than other " Taco Tuesday" specials, but the fish is crispy, which is a plus. The down side is you do have to ask for cheese on your tacos ( for example the Brigantine fish tacos include cheese), caution: the request will cost $2 per Taco Tuesday plate ,which includes 3 tacos for $9.99 with a small side of tortilla chips. Two Taco Tuesday plates of 3 tacos each and an additional side of Tortilla chips plus $2 for cheese on each plate x2 plates =$29, which we were a little taken back by the price, especially since it's a food truck and there is no service or places to sit, so it's sidewalk ambience.. they have sit down Restaurant prices If I am in the area again, I may try Kiko's Place again

The staff was very gracious in the face of the huge crowd and a mountain of orders. The location is spacious with plenty of room to line up and tables to sit and eat or wait on orders. The parking was easy too which was a bonus. For food we got two orders of the big greedy with yams, greens, baked beans and the new mushroom rice. I will stress that everything was excellent and we would get this exact order again, but a few particular standouts were 1) Fried Catfish. Our favorite protein by far. It was deliciously seasoned, perfectly fried, and succulently tender, 2) Candied Yams. They were sweet, tender and nicely balanced, 3) Mushroom Parmesan Rice. We only tried this because so many of the other sides were sold out and man are we glad we did. Our family tore this side up! The mushroom parm gravy was smooth and creamy with large chunks of mushroom. Definitely a great addition to the sides list. Our family can't wait to go back and try more of what CBB has to offer.

I only ate a quarter of the collard greens because it was extremely salty and the turkey was dry. Both the catfish and wings were also salty and the flavor was not to my liking. The rice wasn't fully cooked. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. :(

Holy BBQ these guys rock! I've had their eats twice now at Seven Seas Roasting Company in South…read morePark, San Diego, Both times were for breakfast, but it does not mean that one can't indulge in BBQ meats for breakfast. The first time I had the "El Breakfast Sanguich" and on the second visit it was the "Brisket N' Gravy Sandwich" both came with a fried egg. The Breakfast Sanguich came with two smashed house made sausage patties that were absolutely delicious. Now all the rest of the ingredients were very good here too: the American cheese, quality brown egg, mayo, and toast brioche bun, but the sausage patties were king. So tasty indeed and with the right texture. Now if you thought that the breakfast sandwich above sounded great, get a load of this. The Brisket N' Gravy Sandwich was total bliss. It came with one of those delicious sausage patties, but also a terrific slice of brisket and a side of homemade sausage gravy. The fried egg came at a perfect run, and the broiche bun was very well toasted. This in combination with a perfectly prepared handsome slice of brisket and that sausage patty; well you get great levels of flavors and textures. By the way, the gravy comes on the side, so you have the option to pour it onto the sandwich or dine on with a spoon out a container. I decided to pour some of it on the sandwich and have some on the side. It was a delicious win win! I am so glad that they make real gravy here. The crew Jaxon and Clinton are totally awesome and super friendly. They are there to expand your palates' horizons and to simply put a smiles on your faces.

It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

There was plenty of parking once we found it. It's a bright blue food truck serving up fresh Mexican seafood and tacos, with a shaded tent area for seating. Each table has salsas and condiments which I loved. The workers here are amazing. Super friendly and welcoming. We ordered two tacos, cabeza and adobada, along with the aguachile verde tostada. This surprisingly was enough for two people. While waiting, we grabbed some salsas. They keep them on ice so they stay fresh and cold which was such a nice touch. They told us we could bring the whole bottle to the table, but we just used small cups. My favorite was the orange creamy salsa. It had a slight chipotle flavor but was pretty mild and perfect with the chips. They also gave us complimentary soup while we waited which was a nice surprise. Both tacos were incredible. The tortillas were warm and held a generous amount of meat. The cabeza was super tender, flavorful, and nicely salted. The adobada was juicy with a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. At $3.50 each, they felt very worth it. The real standout was the aguachile verde tostada. It had raw shrimp in a bright, spicy green sauce with thin sliced red onions. Every bite was fresh, citrusy, and packed with flavor. By the end, the tostada soaked up all the sauce which made it messy in the best way. If you're into that slightly soggy tostada texture, it honestly adds to the experience. We couldn't stop thinking about this place the whole drive home. Definitely coming back!
