I got the mulita and a couple tacos and they were delicious. They were pretty greasy, but this made them taste really good too. We got a super spicey habeñero sauce that had a really good flavor and plenty of heat! There was a tent setup by the truck that kept us out of the sun. This truck was out of the way for us while we were visiting Escondido, but we would go out of the way again to stop by this food truck. We just found it online by looking for good tacos trucks, and this place deserves 5 stars. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews -- I hate doing it because I think small businesses don't deserve it, but wow this experience was shocking. Aside from waiting nearly 30 minutes for my order, the two tacos I ordered were really bad. Unfortunately, maybe the worst I've had for San Diego and Tijuana standards. The $5 tacos were the smallest tacos I've ever seen for that price. No flavor, weird texture, tortillas tasted stale and poor quality. Barely any guacamole or cilantro or cebolla. Carne Asada fries were okay, but considering the wait, I expected much better. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Waited 25 minutes with ONE person ahead of me. I ordered a burrito, bowl, and esquites. ALL of which was cold. Chips they gave us were also stale. Not only was the food cold, but the woman taking my order does not listen. I received three dry, cold, burnt meat tacos instead. Store bought cheap quality tortillas. Esquites was okay. Do not waste your money here what an absolute joke! read more

A million and one gracias to Tita and Eric for making our family reunion a huge success. Yelpers, if you are having a large gathering, this is the place to order from. We had a family reunion and CLN provided delicious chips & guac, burritos, tortas and quesadillas. Order online, give a time and DONE! The process was seamless. The food was a big hit amongst the family. We went back a day later to have more at the taco truck. Winner winner chicken dinner! read more

We love this truck so much, eat here whenever we are near. We vacation nearby every year and eat here basically everyday lol. We're not even hungry but are on our way there right now because we happened to be passing by on our way home from a different vacation. The food is so flavorful! The women working here are really nice too. I have food allergies and really appreciate how patient they were with us in the beginning. My stomach is very sensitive so i know when food is high quality or not too. She cooks the best carnitas i have ever had. I love it so much, just so much flavor. Everything else is good too but i am obsessed with her carnitas. Sometimes i wish i could apply for a job just to see what magic she is doing in there The location is so convenient too! Right off the freeway, plenty of parking. A relaxed taco truck vibe. They are usually really good! Of course this time i wanted to take a pic they messed up our order so badly. But got a pic of a side of carnitas. Making our own fries later read more

The food was a little unseasoned. The portions were good and it was confident for the area. The staff was nice but the food in general is rare 3/5. I got an agua de sandia as well and it just tasted like water. read more

Cocina Los Nanos is a food truck off the 15 you don't want to miss! I tried three different tacos--chorizo, adobada, and carne asada--and all of them were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. If I had to pick a favorite, the carne asada definitely stole the show--juicy, tender, and seasoned just right! I also had their agua de piña, which was super refreshing and the perfect balance of sweet and light--a great way to cool off with read more

We were staying at The Welk nearby and had a craving for local, real Mexican tacos. It's a local spot for sure and tastes good, but surely my non-Mexican taste is a little bland. The tacos come in generous portions and I tried the carne asada and adobada tacos, but they were too salty, too seasoned and too dry for my taste. If you like very seasoned meats and a little dry, then you will enjoy it. That's the only reason I am knocking a star. Otherwise, a good spot. read more

This review is based on having a carne asada burrito and may not reflect their other offerings. The good: outstanding size The ingredients I prefer, asada, beans, sour cream, guacamole (mix), and Pico de Gallo Choice of sauce, green mild, red mild and red Hot Then why the three stars? Maybe It was my fault that I ordered an asada burrito at 10:30 in the morning. The asada seemed like it was "yesterday's" asada, dry and chewy, like he scooped from the end of a metal serving dish that had been cooking for a long long time. Fortunately the other ingredients masked the meat. I like supporting small business, so I will be back choosing the carnitas or one of the other burritos or quesadillas they make. read more

Cocina Los Nanos - Carne Asada burrito with salsa - Food Trucks Near Me - Escondido, California

I've lived in California for the last 30 years. This is hands-down the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life and I'm not exaggerating. My only regret is that I didn't order the burrito. I ordered everything else and all of it was straight fire. 10/10 I don't leave reviews normally, but I had to leave this place to review this because of all the food was read more

I think we found our go-to company for taco catering. From beginning to day of event, we had a positive experience interacting with the owner. We had the carne asada, barbacoa, and pollo tacos for options, as well as, we chose to pay extra for the package that including potato tacos (which were so delicious, reminded me of my mom's), mullitas, and quesadillas. Our guests kept going back for more. The pepino con limon and mango aguas frescas were the best combo of sweet and refreshing. We recommend you book Cocina Los Nanos for your next event read more

Great little spot for a quick bite. Even had tables and chairs. Food came out quick , hot sauce was fire. Def worth the stop

The entire family loved it we will be back. A great place for lunch when staying at the Welk Resort

Food was great as well as the portions. Easy access right off the 15. Definitely going back.

Headed home and needed something quick and convenient wow was I surprised how great this food truck was. Hands down best food truck I've been to. I had the surf and turf torta. Excellent. Bread was soft meat and shrimp had tons of flavor. Red salsa had the right amount. Of kick with wonderful flavor. My wife had a variety of tacos and loved them all. However she too thought the carne asada was the star the star of the show. Service was very good and got our food quickly. She had a agua pina and enjoyed it. I had a Pepsi nothing to say there. Worth the detour next time you are headed to or from SD. read more

Fresh tortillas, tasty burritos, great tacos! We had two huge burritos and a taco plus horchata for about $30.

I never knew this food truck was here and I decided to give it a try. Its really good I wasn't expecting them to be this good. I got adobada, asada and cabeza. I highly recommend to come eat here. They have a lot morw things like quesadillas, mulitas, burritos, carne asada fries etc. The horchata is good as well. Service was good, it was pretty busy when I came so you might have to wait a bit, but even then they were quick with the tacos. read more

This Food Truck is definitely one of the best! I don't make it a custom to stop at any food truck if I have not been referred to one, by someone I trust. But today was one of those days where my Husband and I said heck with it let's give them a try. Well, we were definitely NOT disappointed! We ordered 2 Mini Carnitas Tacos and a Green Tamale. Very DELICIOUS!! We travel to LA County frequently and always stop at the AM/PM. Now we will have a better excuse to exit Deer Springs Rd. Customer service was also great read more

I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was delicious. The service was quick and prices are reasonable.

We'd driven by this food truck many times on the way to the Golden Door farm stand but never stopped. This morning we had skipped breakfast so we decided to stop and try their breakfast burritos. I had the ham and bacon while my wife opted for the potato tacos. The service was helpful and friendly and the food was as good, if not better than we've had at full service places. We will definitely be making this a regular stop. read more

Horrible, took over an hour for a few tacos. I would have left had my card not been charged.
