Peter L.

I recommend coming here if you just want a snack (but not a meal) or just don't want to spend a lot. Located on 3rd Street near South Park by a Shell gas station. They have a small table but just go to the park for one of the benches. Their tacos are cheapest amongst all the food trucks in this surrounding area of SOMA. Problem is their tacos are also the smallest and the fillings and add-ons are skimpiest. Usually, I can eat 3 tacos and am full or borderline stuffed. I had 4 tacos here and felt like would be hungry again in a couple hours.

Carnitas tacos
Jon L.

If you're in a lunchtime rush around South Park, this taco truck by the Shell gas station will do the trick. Decent tacos but note that they're quite small though. They're pretty speedy with the orders and I'm generally in and out in under 5 minutes. I like the carnitas which are moist and flavorful but the carne asada can be a little dry. The fish tacos are pretty decent too. As mentioned above, you probably need quite a few tacos to feel full. If you're looking for a more filling meal, you're better off getting a burrito or torta for lunch. They also serve breakfast burritos for mornings when you really need more than cereal to get started. Not the most outstanding Mexican taco truck but it beats the lines in South Park any day if you're in a rush. Note that they are cash only though.

Al Pastor Taco - Tasty
Adam S.

It's a good Taco Truck. I can't necessarily tell you every single element that makes this a solid little taco truck, but I can tell you that this one is solid. If you're walking down 3rd Street in SoMa, you'll find this place consistently parked out front of the Shell. I'd be perfectly happy to recommend this spot to someone craving some Mexican street food who would be walking by in the 'hood. I've eaten here a couple of times, although I think I only checked in once. The tacos were legit and tasty. They have a pretty good sized menu of other items as well. My theory about Mexican food is that you generally have to work a bit to do it badly - yet people frequently do, which baffles me. Clean, tasty, fast, good service. No dodgy meat. When I get a taco, it is full of good ingredients and it is clear the person who assembled it put forth some effort. I believe they also get here early enough for Breakfast Burritos, which I would be happy to try. They actually do have a table sitting outside the truck, but what you should do is walk over to South Park (no, not the foul-mouthed kids in Colorado) which is about half a block away. Not a shabby place to hang out on a workday and have a taco. Maybe I'm particularly biased because a random woman walked over to me while I was eating and said: "Are you Adam S. from Yelp?" True story. But, never blow your cover. I asked: "What's a Yelp?"

Probably the best al pastor I've ever had and I love their salsa. Has a nice spice that you can't put down!

SPARK Social SF is one of those places we end up at again and again, usually without overplanning…read moreit. It just works. Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic. What keeps us coming back is how consistent it feels in the best way. It is easy, flexible, and always a good time whether you stay for an hour or lose an entire afternoon there. It is the kind of spot that turns into a routine before you even realize it, and honestly, we are not mad about it.

Spark Social is a great place to host an event. Big ones (company-sponsored), small ones (a group…read moreof friends huddling at a table), really any of them, because they have a couple different set ups that are open for reservations, but they can also accommodate walk-ins with the abundance of seating. Beyond that, the food and drinks are all food truck based. They are all quite good, and there's a wide variety of items. This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

I love their food--the Kebapche. Delicious! Bittersweet because they just announced on IG that they are ceasing their food truck operation. However, it looks like they are doing private catering, etc. Excited to see what's to come. Good luck to them.

This was one of the food trucks at the Sunday Presidio Pop Up on the Main Parade Lawn (across from…read moreThe Walt Disney Family Museum). When I came here with my friends last time, I remember having a good experience so decided to pay them another visit. Their menu looked smaller with different items this time around. I saw a lot of people ordering the Yogurt Marinated Chicken ($17.00 + tax), so I decided to order that. +Even though the grilled Mary's Chicken looked dry, it was moist and juicy. Never thought of yogurt as a marinade, but hey it works! +Organic spring mix salad was fresh and lightly dressed w/vinaigrette. +Lutenitsa, a Bulgarian spread made with roasted red peppers and other veggies, was flavorful and not spicy. -Chicken was burnt in a lot of parts: Seems like it was left too long on the grill -Herb polenta cake was soft, but bland. Other items I tried during my last visit: +Black Sea Fisherman's Stew +Baklava Side notes: 1.) Check the Presidio's website for their schedule: https://presidio.gov/explore/park-attractions/presidio-pop-up-schedule 2.) Enjoy your meal on the picnic tables or lawn. 3.) Paid parking lots: Bring coins b/c there's a surcharge for credit cards. *Verdict: If the chicken wasn't burnt, it would have been a winner winner chicken dinner.

Between the location and the aesthetic, I was excited to see what the hype was about. My friend and I ordered the turmeric golden latte and the butterfly pea latte from the "botanical + herbal" section. Both drinks looked beautiful, but they tasted surprisingly thin and pretty flavorless. There wasn't much depth or richness, and we were confused because we expected a latte-style drink to include espresso. After asking the barista, we learned that the botanical + herbal drinks don't come with coffee or espresso at all. That wasn't clearly indicated, and the word "latte" definitely led us to assume otherwise. To their credit, the barista was kind and offered to add an espresso shot to my drink once I mentioned the confusion. After the addition, it tasted significantly better and finally had some body. I just don't understand why that wouldn't be the default or at least clearly labeled on the menu. The concept and setting are appealing, but the experience itself felt underwhelming.

What's better than the ocean/beach and tacos?!?…read more I've been a super fan of Leo's tacos since my LA days, and when Leo brought one of his food trucks up to the Bay Area, it was inevitable that I would try out the tacos! The Leo's taco truck literally is located in San Francisco/Ocean Beach with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Leo's taco trucks are known in Southern California as THE taco truck for reasonably priced street tacos, that are beyond delicious. The experience at the San Francisco/Ocean Beach taco truck was great. For the most part it mirrors the LA experience, which is exactly what I wanted. It's like having a piece of home. Menu prices are nonexistent so there's no way to determine exactly what you're going to be charged. I ordered two Al pastor tacos, and was charged seven dollars which included tax. I really like that they always include a piece of pineapple with the Al Pastor. The tacos were absolutely yummy. The meat was flavorful, but definitely not as juicy as the LA version. Plus, they don't seem to be as generous with meat at this location as they are in LA. The talk of themselves are not the traditional small street tacos, and yet they're smaller than the traditional sized tacos. They do provide bagged condiments that include sauces and radish. I was super hesitant to try them because of some of the other reviews. Tasty tacos, and if you've ever been to Leo's, and you, in this part of the Bay Area, it's definitely worth a stop.

So my burrito was pretty decent but I'm sure the actual vegan menu items are much better. The burrito was also not that big, I suspect the food truck serving sizes might be smaller than at the restaurant. Staff at the truck were really nice, and cut my burrito in half when I asked. Would definitely like to come to an actual restaurant to try the vegan menu!
