Baby, the food is delicious. I always order me a shrimp burrito and usually I don't eat all my burrito but the flavor and juice and every bite is good. Their tacos are really good. You want be disappointed with nothing on the menu. read more

I usually get an El Grande Burrito (because I am a size queen). Carne asada, or sometimes suadero. No shrimp. Not my thing, but it's okay if you like it. Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya. read more

Food ordered: Al pastor street tacos - Rate 8/10. It was a little salty but pastor flavor was still there. The portion of the meat of these tacos made it worth to enjoy. Chile verde street tacos - Rate 10/10. The meat melted in my mouth and the chile verde flavor was delicious. Perfect balance and adding on salsa verde made it even better. Would get it again and would come for this every single time. Salsa Verde was 10/10 Excited to try other food options provided by this truck! Service was quick and easy and friendly. Location is decent and safe enough. It's in a nicely lit parking lot across from Hyphy Burger. With food being this good, I'd say get more well lit signs to provide more attraction to your truck! read more

I've been going to the Chile Bravo truck for years. I love both their burritos and tacos! Their meat is well seasoned and the salsa is solid. My personal recommendation is to try the suadero. It's a meat that you don't usually find at trucks and taquerias. The staff are friendly and the food always comes out hot. This truck is popular, so be prepared to have a few orders in front of you. read more

Chile Bravo Grill - Suadero burrito. - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

Food is good! Tacos are juicy and theres a lot of flavor. Shrimp and steak Burrito was good! Service takes awhile though so call ahead for pickup. Def sketch in plaza with a beauty supply but food made it worth it! read more

Still great, value on the seafood items, tacos be hitting something else and of course arco across street for anything else you might need.

I'm lucky that this is my neighborhood taco truck. 8 years loyal as a customer, I've tasted them grow. Everything is really good - they just might consider adding a taco salad - their way - to the menu. Even as just a special. A hidden gem. Consistent quality. read more

Doughboy once said: Either they don't know...don't show...or don't care about what's going on in the hood. And this particular taco truck is located in the "hood", over on 27th and Market. Unfortunately the flavor and quality isn't up to industry standard. Maybe for their sake, it would be a good move for them to come closer to the Lake or East Oakland. I feel for the ladies working this truck. They are constantly being cussed out and spoken to disrespectfully, at least when I'm there. So I can see how the food quality could drop. Kind of like if my wife constantly treated me bad. Would I give my best knowing that it won't be appreciated anyway? That being said the other day I ordered a couple of burritos. I asked for shrimp and steak on both. It took nearly 30 minutes to make those two burritos, and it wasn't even that busy. After we received the burritos, my wife and I ate them, and I must say they just aren't that good. Edible. But not that good. Plus the shrimp was nearly non-existent. But like I said, I think under the right conditions this truck could be comparable to the other great taco trucks in Oakland. But the way people who frequent this taco truck treat these ladies breaks my heart. No one should receive that type of verbal abuse and threats. So if you do decide to try Chile Bravo. Be polite. Treat others how you wish to be treated yourself. And my hope is not only will we all be better people as a result, but so will the tacos and burritos. read more

Chile Bravo Grill - Steak and shrimp burrito. $11 - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

Discovered this place on Saturday while stopping for hair supplies for my wife. OMG the food is soooooo good!!! We got tacos, fish and shrimp, and spent the rest of the weekend talking about just how good the food is. We both love the full spectrum of Mexican food from 100% authentic old school to modern Tex-Mex and this place is simply delicious. Reminds me of food I got when I lived in Yuma and used to hop across the border for a day trip. The food is amazing and the prices are really affordable. Friendly staff, good food, decent prices, what more can you want... Two hearty tacos with generous fillings with veggies on the side (jalapeno, carrot, cucumber, etc.) for less than $15. Bam! Check it out, support local small business, and be happier for the experience. read more

Delicious. I have been looking for another taco truck in Oakland that can make a perfect taco and I have found it. My new go to ‍

The best in the west! Everything they have is good but their steak and shrimp burrito is a real crowd pleaser. So do your tastebuds a favor and get one. read more

My go-to taco truck in West Oakland - think it's noticeably better than nearby Tacos La Perla (which isn't bad). Highly recommend this spot if you live in the area or don't want to make the trek to East Oakland. Regular street tacos (onions & cilantro) are ~$2.50 each but are LOADED with meat. I've tried most of the meat options (asada, al pastor, pollo, cabeza, lengua, suadero), and they are all really flavorful / well-cooked, with the al pastor edging out asada as my personal fave. 3-4 tacos are probably sufficient for the average appetite. There are "deluxe" versions available as well (sour cream, cheese, avocado, etc.). Another plus (esp. as an LA transplant) - they have great CALIFORNIA burritos! Not sure of any other places in the Oakland area with this. The steak and shrimp burrito, on the other hand, was just alright... a little too sour cream and filler-heavy for me. They also take credit card for payment. While I don't think lines are outrageously long (yet), operations can be slow at times. But definitely give Chile Bravo a try - yummy tacos await! read more

I normally dont do trucks BUT in Oakland most of the trucks taste better than the store fronts!!! This one is fantastic! I usually get shrimp burritos (if they have shrimp) sometimes they run out if a certain meat. Especially steak!!! Go early so you can get the meat you want!!! read more

This has become my go-to spot for a burrito. I usually order a California burrito. The fries inside can be hit or miss (I prefer crispier fries, and sometimes they're a little on the softer side), but it's still great. Most burritos running in the $10-15 range. read more

Real Oakland review do not come to this taco truck I come here almost every day after I get off my shift at hyphy burger i spend good money with them and was told that I am not able to receive a refund or even new food in compensation for finding a long curly hair in my food I have pictures of everything and they told me I'm not able to receive any sort of refund because I didn't bring the food back mind you I live all the way in Castro Valley and I was on my last two bites of my fourth taco that I had already slammed and was disgusted once I felt the hair pulling across my tongue and I pulled it out and took a picture of it. Drove all the way back over here today because once I found the hair in my food, I immediately called them and spoke to a young lady on the phone who told me if I came back with a photo of what was in my food I will be able to receive a refund now I drove all the way out here today to receive my refund and they're telling me something completely different waste of gas waste of time and I will no longer be spending my money with them! read more

For sure my favorite taco truck in Oakland. Not does it taste really good, they are nicely priced with loads of meat. They are also generous on veggies, garnish and sauces, and always happy to give me another bag or two when I asked. Call ahead and your tacos will be ready within 10 minutes. My favorites are steak and chicken. read more

Always on point, you can call your order to go and use apple pay if needed! Good prices as well so highly recommended in the area.

My favorite burrito truck west of the lake, their carne asada and suadero burritos are amazing. Not the best carnitas, though.

Whenever I crave tacos I come here! Their pork tacos are my favorite! yum! Definitely this place is # 1 in the whole Bay Area no doubt xx read more

Chile Bravo Grill - Pork tacos/ pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

My grandmother introduced me to this burrito truck. They are parked in a parking lot and the day we went to pick up food was pretty cold so I decided to call in my order on the way there. They picked up after a few rings and took my order and gave me the total. It took me about 5 minutes to get there and when I arrived I made sure to make my payment. They will start your order once payment is received. You cut some time by calling it in, I only waited about 5 minutes for 1 burrito deluxe with steak and a chicken quesadilla. Make sure to ask for peppers and salsa because they don't automatically put it into your bag. The area is a little sketchy, but it is well lit. There is a line so make sure to ask if the person next to you is waiting to order so you don't cut the line. The food was delicious, flavorful, and most importantly moist. I will be returning whenever I get the craving. read more

I've never been a food truck person, but when I see a huge line in a random parking lot, I know the food has to be good. This place is awesome and well priced. The staff is friendly and they have always got my order right. The steak and al pastor tacos are my favorite. Good portions on the burritos too, they don't skimp. Definitely give this place a try. read more

I am a cult follower forever for this food truck. I have been coming here for my Mexican craving for the last 3 years and never have they disappointed me. I love their simple regular tacos with cilantro and onions only and nachos! Best of all, they have Apple Pay and are reasonably priced! Hidden gem everyone! Tips: they get super busy during lunch. Try to order before 11:30 am if possible for after the lunch rush. read more

Chile Bravo Grill is parked in a run down shopping space @W. Grand & Market St. space has a dubious reputation. don't bring your hot wheels here. kept an eye on same wheels. offerings: tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas eats: lengua street taco@2.50 asada taca@2 -tender/moist lengua, chewy asada bits -radish slices, picked carrots. hot jalepeno proteins not naturally juicy 3.5 stars. ample portions. *needs salsa to round out taste. read more

Let's be real - if you want an amazing taco truck, you have to head out to International Drive. That said, if you're in West Oakland and jonesing for taco truck tacos, these aren't bad at all. West Oakland and Downtown has a few taco options. You've got the bougie tacos from Belly and Cosecha, which are delicious but definitely not street tacos. You've got Burrito Express and Happy Burrito, but those are just okay. Somewhere in between are Xolo and I guess El Gusano (which I've literally never seen open). But if you want taco truck tacos in West Oakland, this is the spot. For $1.75 you get the classic two corn tortillas filled with the meat of your choice, onion, cilantro and salsa. Even the Mild has plenty of heat to it for us gringos. I generally get 4 with Suadero (flank steak), Cabeza (cheek meat), Pollo (chicken), and of course al pastor (marinated pork). They include a variety of pickled and grilled veggies and radish. This generally runs me about $7.25 total. Don't forget the Jarritos or Mexican Coke! They also have a variety of burritos and nachos, and I have been curious to try a burrito, but I need to make sure I'm prepared for something like that. So if you find yourself in West Oakland and craving street tacos, I can recommend this place. Though I wouldn't take it over Tacos Sinaloa or one of the trucks on I-Drive. read more

This place is my go-to when I don't feel like cooking or am just having a chill day at home. Super fast and convenient, plus their food is amazing. Deluxe chicken burrito is where it's at. The avocado they throw in is always perfectly ripe, and there's never any weird chewy bits you sometimes find in burritos. They sometimes run out of chicken later in the evening, so if that's your meat choice try to get there by 6. Overall amazing taco truck, their food is legit delicious and all the ingredients seem super fresh. read more

I don't recommend this place. I order taco shrimp and was raw. Was nasty and after. The next day I get sick.

Been going to this little truck for years. They are always fast, friendly, and offer up delicious Mexican food. Their Deluxe burrito is fantastic! They will continue get my business! read more

Their shrimp deluxe burrito!! So good! I love the caramelized onions that they put inside. Warning to onion haters. I love onions though. Also the woman taking your order will probably ask you if you want everything on it. Shrimp is nicely grilled and flavorful. I asked for spicy and felt like it had the right amount of spice. I had the burrito yesterday for lunch and I'm craving it as I write this review. Rice is more broken down and mushy but I don't mind it. The area is conveniently located near my workplace and it's inside of a parking lot (I love it when I don't need to worry about street parking)! Sometimes homeless people will be around the truck area but they are usually friendly. I only come during lunch hour. I'd say it looks a little more "sketchy" than it really is, though I can't speak for nighttime. I recall ordering beef tacos which were delicious and huge nachos which were too heavy for me (great if you are looking to share with friends or if you have a big appetite). Shrimp deluxe burrito is probably going to be my staple item at this place! read more

Best Taco truck in Oakland, order a Grande burrito and split it with a homie, thank me later

Conveniently located in West Oakland, this truck makes decent food and is in my opinion one of the newest and cleanest trucks around here. It is worth the trip if you are in west Oakland. read more

Tacos will blow your mind. Amazing. I came here 3 days in a row last week. This place is addicting.

Delicious burritos! Friendly, efficient service. All they lack is a bench to sit on to wait for your order while getting hungrier and hungrier because of the beautiful scents from the grill. Will definitely return! read more

Let me sing the praises of Chile Bravo Grill: - Large shrimp tacos. Bigger than the regular corn tortilla tacos, with pretty hefty shrimp. Two of these will fill me up. - Maybe the most satisfying burrito I've ever had. These burritos go from tame to wild, and damned gluttonous either way. Opt for meats that are more solid than ground, since otherwise the burritos can get pretty wet! - In love with the lengua tacos. The lengua is super succulent and soft, the way lengua should be. - The hot sauce is actually hot! And with the perfect roasted flavor. And speaking of hot, you can get whole jalapeños with your order, which I'll take big bites of when eating their tacos. - Flour tortilla tacos! You don't find them in California, but they're classic in Tex-Mex. I can't get the tried and true breakfast taco here, but chicharrones on a flour tortilla take me a little closer to home. read more

So glad I got hungry in a different part of town than I'm usually in! Food was amazing, we tried 4 deluxe tacos and a burrito. The pollo had a kick, carnitas were crispy and delicious, and the al pastor was perfectly seasoned. The carne asada wasn't my favorite of the four, but definitely no complaints. The burrito was a purposeful combination of flavors and textures, not just a mush of carbs. I didn't see any prices on the menu (went at night, so they could be there somewhere), but it ended up being $23 for four generously filled deluxe tacos and a very reasonably sized deluxe burrito. Extra bonus: it's in the corner of a big parking lot so there's always easy parking. Can't wait to go back! read more

Best Pastor in the hood - hands down. Super tasty and has some kick when you get spicy. I'd put this Pastor up in my top 5 all time. Definitely the best taco truck in West Oakland, and probably the best Burrito north of Lake Merritt. read more

Food is good. They need to update Yelp phone number as the number listed is not the number for placing an order.

After 10 years of patronage I still vouch for this truck as top-notch. The pastor is great, the CHICKEN is great and you can't say that for many trucks. I don't usually order burritos with rice, but the rice is flavorful here. No matter what your nuanced orders are, I think you'll be very satisfied by this business. They do not disapoint. read more

Went here with a co-worker, and everything was very good and reasonably priced. I had a Super Carne Asada burrito and Super Tacos. The meat was very tender, and everything else was really good. There will definitely be a trip back there very soon. read more
