Thank you Dino for making our anniversary yesterday! We have been trying to meet up with the truck for months and this was the first time we got to enjoy the food! We stumbled upon the Truckit Fest at Union Station and they were just about to close but they made us quesadillas and churro tots. Deelish! What a great experience. We can't wait to follow you on twitter and get some tacos next time. See you soon! Thanks again! read more

Hit up the Border Grill Truck today to try some tacos -Potato Rajas Taco was OK, potatoes not fully cooked, but cheese sause was good -Yucatan Pork Taco orange salsa gave it an excellent citrus flavor, pork was a bit dry, jicama slaw was a nice cruncky element -Citrus Chicken Taco was well marinated and very flavorful, left me wanting more -Carne Asada Taco was chewy and lacking (seemed like they cut with the grain), Guacamole was the stand out on this one. All in all it was a step WAY above your meat, tortilla, cilantro and onion taco. I don't normally like corn tortillas, but these were great! Glad they only utilized one. Second one always seems to much to me. Will go back for ceviche and tamal 'cones' but for my money, they Chicken tacos is where it's at. read more

Had a poblano quesadilla and a crispy fish taco. Guess my mistake was assuming that the taco would be crispy, not the fish (it was battered and fried). The taco was OK, nothing special. The quesadilla however was straight up boring. Didn't even taste like poblano, it could have been a roasted green pepper for all the cheese. I think they skipped on the chipotle salsa too, there was no heat at all. Service was fine. Guess I'll have to try something different next time. read more

I've had the Border Grill Truck 2 times, both at the Brig in Venice and all I can say is that it is the best taco truck I've ever had! I had the carne asada and chicken tacos, both were just right. I hate when tacos go overboard with the salsa, not a problem here. I also had the churro bites for dessesrt and I must say that I am a churro connoisseur and theirs are off the hook!Oh and I almost forgot the specialty lemonade, very good, a must have. I found the price point to be very reasonable, its the perfect thing for an after bar snack. If you see the Border Grill Truck around you would be foolish not to stop! read more

After attending the Top Chef Masters Premiere Party at Street, I had high expectations for the Border Grill Truck, which I happily ran into at Bergamot Station. I ordered the Pablano quesadilla with beans and rice, while my students got the fries, carne asada, and carne asada quesdilla (we were there for a field trip). And let me tell you, Francisco and Dino are masters of Mexican cuisine! The service was friendly and fast, and the deliciousness of our food put us all in a good mood for the rest of the day. I plan on stalking this truck from now on... read more

I ate too much because I wanted everything on the menu! This was my second visit to the truck and the peruvian ceviche is my favorite. The green corn tamale cone was damn good too but I prefer savory flavors to sweet. The yucatan taco was delicious too. The avocado taco was interesting but not great. Next time I'll try the churro tots. The price is high but worth it. read more

The only reason they get 2 stars is because their guacamole is FANTASTIC. However, their asada is chewy and absolutely flavorless (literally no flavor, have they heard of seasoning?) Every tiny taco is 3 dollars. You end up spending $10 there without even buying a drink. Tip: You must specifically ask for salsa. Who eats tacos without salsa? So many better taco trucks that are so much cheaper, and that actually sell MEXICAN food. Don't waste your money. With all that being said, I now feel bad....because the staff is super friendly & nice :/ read more

I said I wasn't hungry, I'll only have a chicken taco. Well, 3 chicken tacos and nachos later, I am stuffed. This food is delicious and the people are truly lovely! read more

Border Grill - Food Trucks Near Me

My mouth is watering in anticipation of the next time the Border Grill Truck comes to my workplace. I've had it twice recently, and I have loved EVERYTHING I've sampled -- carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, and even these potato and cheese tacos are delicious. Tasty meats and plenty of guac and cheese, plus very friendly service. I'm going to make it to one of their restaurants soon because I can't wait to try the full menu. Love what I've seen so far. read more

AMAZING! Had the tacos and the tamales ... and then went back for more. Food was fresh, line moved quickly, and did I mention DELICIOUS?! Don't want to call anyone out (Cheryl Y.) but the "mushy corn" is actually a great tamale. And the cup makes eating (what would be a difficult snack while standing) a breeze. The churro bites were delicious, too. I would be able to review more of the food, but my friends were loving theirs too much to share bites! Glad a few of these trucks actually know how to make good food :) read more

We booked the truck for a private and event. Pleased and satisfied would be an understatement. The food was great and filling. The guys making the food, Robert and Luke were awesome and had a great attitude and sense of humor and the drinks kept coming! Loved every second of it! read more

"Meh" is right. We got one of each of the tacos and an order of the churros. Not great. The flavor proportions were off, and the guy at the register charged us $8 too much for our order. Not what I was expecting. read more

Border Grill catered our wedding/baby party at the Marion Davies House at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica on 8/14. They were FLAWLESS! We arrived 5 minutes before the party started and everything was perfectly set up and ready to go. The staff was incredibly professional, organized, and super friendly and cool (our guests kept raving about the service as well as the food!). We had passed appetizers then a taco bar followed by a dessert bar. It was all excellent. The appetizers we chose were the corn esquites (my favorite!), baja ceviche tostaditas (people couldn't get enough!), spinach empanadas, and spicy seared shrimp - all really delicious! The tacos were such a big hit and we even ran out of the grilled fish and sweet potato & black bean tacos since they were so popular! But they had extra ceviche from the appetizers so they made up extra tacos for me and my husband since we were too busy talking to folks to eat! (That's how good the service was - they kept finding us and remembering what we liked to bring us more!) The salsa and guacamole were on every table and very copious - folks were raving about the guacamole in particular. I'm very glad we opted for the red and white sangria bar as well as wine and beer. The white sangria was a huge hit (perfect for a hot evening!). Definitely worth adding to the bar since it looks so great with the serve-your-own fruit! Lauren Morales and Kenisha McIntosh were fabulous, incredibly detail oriented, and patient with all of my questions during planning. They also coordinated with the florist and the vendor for lights and heat lamps which made everything much easier for us. I especially appreciated how accurate the photos on their catering website were - they really delivered as advertised! I can't recommend Border Grill catering highly enough! You won't regret it! read more

Great pic of the guacamole, cause it is exactlywhat you get at border grill..i laugh at what you see a new burritos or hamburger coming out at a fast food joint, because it is never what is caked up to be,..what do they use, photoshop. at least i know what im getting here, and it always tastes and looks authentic read more

Ok I just got back from the Downtown Artwalk which I have done a few times and all the times i have had such a great experience there. I have seen the Border Grill truck but havent had the chance to try. I Invited my family to join me tonight and we were having a great time with the people and Art as well as music. Then the need for food set in. We werent really hungry enough to sit at a restaurant and didnt want to wait to be seated, so i suggested why not try the Border Truck. I mean its from the "two hot tamales" how could we go wrong?? and they were even maning the truck. Well I was very much mistaken, the young lady taking the orders was so very nice and had a service with a smile, which was good. I wasnt sure wether it was Sue or Mary that was out front but she was more interested in the camera that was out front than with the orders. They had a bunch of people working in the truck, maybe like 6-7, I had never seen that before not even Kogi had that many people and no self respecting taco truck would have that many people working the grill, the food did come out in a timely manner. Ok down to the food, we figured we wanted to try a wide variety of items so we all ordered different items from the menu. And did i mention we paid $3 for a taco??? wow $3 for a smaller size taco! The yucatan Pork taco, so so, Carne Asada taco, tender meat but no flavor. Fish taco, not good, the tarter sauce they used was not good at all, Del taco is much better, if you catch my drift. The roja potato was ok, tender but not really flavorful. The sauces were average at best. but the worst part of it all the Tortilla was Horrible, Cold hard and no flavor. It was supposed to be a fresh made tortilla?, but it missed the mark on all fronts. I was very dissappointed, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it wasnt good at all, especially for the prices. I would think The Border grill would come and represent? not at all. I just hope it was just a bad night or they just messed up our order but i wont be trying them again anytime soon. I know they will be fine because there name preceeds them, but cmon people dont choose hype over quality. i would have only gave them one star but i liked thier truck although it was a mess inside and i liked the woman taking the order very nice and with a smile read more

I really think this truck is an embarrassment to Los Angeles. In a city with arguably the greatest Mexican food outside of Mexico (the argument, of course, would be with Chicagoans), how can an upscale offshoot of a restaurant serve such poor stuff? The problems are: 1-it's gringo-ized. I don't say that as if it's necessarily a bad thing -- Calmex food can be great, and I'm not a purist -- fusion-y stuff (Kogi, for example) can be fabulous. But....this really is just dumbed down Mexican food -- i.e., Mexican food without the spice and without the wondrous combinations that make it so fabulous. 2-it's...bad. May as well be specific. First time at the truck they had chilaquiles as a special. Great...I love chilaquiles and search L.A. for the best of the breed. These were, per point 1, not chilaquiles, but some sort of concoction of tortillas that, I dunno, maybe was trying to be healthy for a Hollywood Farmers Market crowd? In any case, so be it, a new take on chilaquiles is fine except that, per point 2, they sucked! Me and the women who sells tamales who happened to order them at the same time as me sat there sullenly picking at them and commiserating about how chilaquiles could possible be so bad. Next time I ran into the truck I thought, hey, first time I ordered a special, big mistake, certainly their tacos will be good. Not so much. Expensive, and the carne asada was inferior to tacos at any of a gazillion taco trucks. They had Yucatecan pork (i.e., cochinita pibil), too, which is not available at most L.A. taco trucks. Nonetheless, it was a dumbed down, bad version of pibil, far inferior to Yuca's or Tarascos or the places that do have pibil. Just bad. read more

I had Border Grill for the first time last night when they were in Marina del Rey. OMG their carne asada burrito is so delicious. The only bad part was that I couldn't finish it. I did have desert though... churro tots... yummm. read more

I can not communicate how AMAZING Border grill and their staff were for my wedding at the Unique Space on October 14th. Their staff worked with me and dealt with my crazy bride phone calls like champs!! They worked around my budget which is huge for weddings! I used their taco truck which is for 2 hrs but I paid extra for serving staff to stay for the rest of the wedding to bus tables. I feel horrible for forgetting the supervisors name but he was awesome. They were all so professional and the best part was they were good people. The server guys always asked me and my new husband if we needed anything. Not one table was ever dirty. They even helped me pick up the linen that another vendor was picking up at the end of the night. The guys were polite and went above and beyond what was asked of them. I was blown away by the border grill truck and their services. Loved them!!!! read more

The churro tots are like crack. The yucatan pork taco is my favorite of the bunch.

Incredible Peruvian ceviche cone, as well as the sweet green corn tamal cone. Total Yum! Highly recommend this truck - great customer service, too! read more

My husband and I didn't want the conventional "chicken or steak?" dinner for our wedding, and we thought a food truck would be such a fun idea. We live in NY, and planning our wedding from across the country was a little difficult at times, but Clare Toffoli was so helpful, not only with the catering, but with the assistance of the open bar, rentals (everything from linen to china), and set up & break down. The food truck doesn't fit well at the venue we used (a beach club), so they set us up with a live-action taco station on the front deck. Not only were they incredibly helpful, but all of the guests thought it was such a fun idea to have this type of food served, and said the food was some of the best they've ever had at a wedding! read more

average food, small portions, high prices. tacos were average, quesadilla was average, corn in a cup was pretty good, coffee was no good. the chicken enchilada they served at the 13.1 marathon tasted okay, but looks nasty. read more

yada yada one of the only food trucks i can stand. they have legit tacos! the carnitas, carne asada, all are good. and quesidillas and guacemole read more

Ordered 3 tacos and split some Churro balls with a friend. First of all, these are some of the smallest tacos I've ever seen...and at $3 a pop, I was expecting something pretty mindblowing. The Yucatan Pork was kinda tasty and then I had a Cilantro Chicken and Baja Fish - of those two, I couldn't tell which was which...they were both SO loaded with some sort of creamy salsa/relish that the sad, piddly amount of meat just got lost in the pile. I'm guessing the crunchy one was the fish but that's purely based on texture and not taste. After having disappointing tacos, we were looking forward to the churros balls - I mean how can you go wrong with deep fried dough dipped in sugar, right? Well...we were totally let down...they must have sat out for awhile or weren't fried long enough because they were just mushy and the dulce de leche cream they served with it...yawn. What a waste of $12 - didn't even fill me up! read more

The churro tots are delicious! The carne asada quesadilla is tasty but overwhelmed by its cheese.

I hired the Border Grill Truck for a party I had last week. Service and food were both amazing! The staff took great care to always find me and update me on every detail. And they were super nice! Great time! read more

This has to be the most over priced tacos I've ever had in my life. Tacos are tiny, for about $4 each! Rip off. Also they were drenched wet when they came out. I only bought it because I was on a short clock, complete rip off for what you're getting. We paid $32 for 8 tiny tacos with hardly any meat on them, drenched in pico water. Trash. read more

Meal, snack or dessert, the Border Grill Truck has it all! And, best part, it comes to you! Holds its own again Kogi and the rest. If you find it on Twitter, or on the street, definitely recommend grabbing some solid eats! read more

I'm done with this truck. The first time I went, I had 3 tacos, that cost me $9, and I wasn't even close to full. The tortillas they use for the tacos probably have a 3 inch diameter, so they are basically $1 per bite. The portions are tiny and overpriced. The food is good, but I don't want to spend $20 at a food truck for a decent sized meal. The second time I went, I planned on getting a quesadilla (more expensive than tacos, but looked more substantial)...after waiting in line for 20 minutes, the guy sticks his head out the window and announces all they have left were tacos. How do you run out of two of your three options? It wasn't like I got there at the end of there stay either, it was only an hour in. Sorry Border Grill truck, now I have no interest in you or the restaurant you are associated with. read more

Got to taste their good for the first time today, and it won't be the last!! Great food, great service and a great attitude from the truck. Probably the best quesadilla (the carne asada) that I've ever eaten, anywhere. The tacos that I had were all very good - great flavor from a potato!! The brisket taquitos were rocking, the quinoa fritters were rolling, and the churro tots were a great encore! Great flavors, great creativity. I've had more than my share of Mexican food, and what the Border Grill truck delivers is at the top of the class! read more

I had the beef quesadilla and it was to die for delicious. They had run out of most of the sodas, so i chose to take mine home and enjoy it there. I do not think there is such a thing as a good lunch truck w/o a line and a bit of a wait. This was about 9pm or later (Pasadena Art Walk) It took about 20 min from getting in line to getting served. read more

Tacos came submerged in liquid and fell apart immediately. Low-quality meat, even for skirt steak and even for a food truck. Other trucks charge $2 per taco, but this one charges double that. They started running out of certain items at 1:00, even though they booked the spot from 11:30-2:30. Waste of time and money. read more

After trying the fish tacos and avocado tacos from Border Grill Truck, my gf and I immediately went back for seconds. Fantastic Food!

The Border Grill Truck out of Los Angeles catered my daughter's August 2010 wedding reception in a private house in La Jolla. My most positive review reflects not just the excellent food but also the delightful-- and I must say, somewhat unexpected-- addition the modish truck was to our festivities. The Border Grill people-- from manager to driver to cooks and servers-- were all so nice. We had 150 guests, the usual mix of carnivores and vegans, and wanted to please everyone. The Border Grill menu let our guests choose their meals from a wonderful selection, and we had everything served on the clever taco-boats, with paper napkins. Through Border Grill, we offered three tacos and two quesadillas, as well as two non-alcoholic lemonades. We provided our own recyclable cups for our own rose wine, champagne, beer and lemon-water. We provided our own wedding cake, which Border Grill's expert cutter sliced for service after the ritual first cut. (We could not have done without her!) Service of everything was very smooth, I thought, and also afforded guests an opportunity to mingle as they ordered and waited (I thought, briefly) for their fresh, hot food. How often at a largish wedding is the food delicious and fresh, literally hot off the grill? Our guests raved about the meal. I myself was thrilled that we were able to bring in our food and its service under budget, even considering the $500 travel fee to get the truck all the way out to La Jolla. We held the reception at a private home, and with the cooperation of our neighbors had plenty of room for the truck to park and serve. Following the advice of BG catering manager Kathryn Sweeney, we hired some college students to pour wine and bus tables as needed-- actually, the UC San DIego women's club soccer team provided these services as a team fundraiser, and they did a wonderful job. One of the great benefits of having the truck at our wedding party was that the requirements of food service did not dominate the venue. After everyone had eaten, the truck drove quietly off into the night and the dancing began. It was a marvelous experience. read more

Great & friendly service. The food tasted amazing. 1/2 the portion size at double the price. A high end restraunt disguised as a taco truck. I feel a little burnt by the size of the quesadilla compared to it's price and will avoid from eating from this truck again while in search of a meal, however as an expensive snack I'd give Border Grill Truck consideration. read more

this border grill tacos are the worst fish tacos i ever had in my life they had honey and cream very nasty taste im sorry but i will never eat there again i also pay 11us dollar for nothing i would not recomend to anyone read more
