    Asada & Pastor Muelitas
    Terry M.

    First time here in Ventura & needed a late night snack. It's your general Taco truck experience, nothing crazy here, but there are a few folding tables & chairs to sit down at if you'd like. It wasn't too busy, but was never empty while we were there. It's on the corner, & parking wasn't an issue, but again, it wasn't too busy. The wait seemed pretty average all things considered. Got 3 tacos (asada, pastor, suadero) & 2 muelitas (asada & pastor). Toppings-wise, the tacos were decently garnished, but I wished they had a salsa bar for additions. I do appreciate the pepino (cucumbers) & limes that came with them, though regretted not asking for grilled veggies as well. The muelitas came with a green sauce, that wasn't too flavorful in my opinion. The asada & pastor weren't anything to write home about, I wouldn't come back for them given the bountiful options elsewhere. But the suadero? Juicy & flavorful; Not overcooked as can be common. And the muelitas were extremely cheesy, though a little bit too greasy for my partner's liking. Overall, I'm still new to the area so will be looking around still, but def wouldn't mind coming back for the suadero, or trying some of their other options, since they have so many in both meats & delivery method (tortas, nachos, etc.)

    Amazing food always on point. Great customer service. Team is always ready to feed you with smiles.

    There's a reason the red taco truck on the Ave has been there forever and has plenty of customers on the weekends. Located on the Ave and Simpson in the parking lot of the tire shop. If you can't find parking in the tire shop- try across the Ave or the car wash. The food is priced very reasonably and is a great local spot. The food always comes out fast, and they have champurrado for when you're cold! When we are unsure what to eat on the weekends, tacos from here is always a go to option. They have seats to eat there but we mainly end up taking it home. They will charge if you use card I believe, so bring cash if you can. The tacos are flavorful and I love the cucumbers they give you. I usually opt for a burrito and a few tacos. Definitely try the food here, you won't be disappointed for the price and taste. I recommend this truck when people ask me for food truck recommendations.

    Oh yes. This truck was just across the street from our Airbnb and it was awesome to walk over and grab some tacos. Prices are so good and wow were they fast!! We ordered 4 tacos and a quesadilla for $15 bucks! And they took credit card which was helpful. Extras like cucumber and grilled onion on the side were awesome. All very good! For sure recommend for some great tacos! And they are open so late! They even have tables set up outside if you can't wait to eat your tacos!

    This is for a visit to El Taco De Jerez on Saturday, May 27th, around 7:00pm. After driving past all of the Taco Trucks on the Avenue for what seems like years, I decided to finally try one. Online research and reviews pointed me to what seemed like the best choice, so I trundled off in search of the perfect taco. Unfortunately, when I arrived my first choice was not there, neither was my second choice, so I ended up at the third and definitely last choice, El Taco de Jerez. I ordered a Pastor taco and a chicken burrito, and took them home. She told me the taco would be marinated pork. I don't know what the meat actually was, but it was dry, tough and flavorless, as if it had been left over from the night before. The only things with any flavor were the lime and cucumber on the side. The burrito was not much better. I did find some pieces of what looked like meat in it, and since they were light colored, it fit with the idea that they could be chicken. However, they also exuded the same dry, flavorless personality as the meat from the taco, so I can't tell you exactly what they were. In fact, the whole burrito was very bland and flavorless, although I did taste cilantro and onion. Granted, I did ask for the salsa on the side, so it was not souped up with salsa to give it some taste, but if you have to rely on salsa to give the meal any flavor, then something is wrong. Even Taco Bell can make a burrito with good flavor, without putting any salsa on it! There is always a crowd around this place, so I am guessing that my experience is not the norm. Nonetheless, I will not be back, and I will not recommend it to anyone else. The next time I decide to try an Avenue taco, if my first choice truck isn't there I will go to one of those illegal pop-up joints that are starting to dot the Avenue. Looking at them as I drive by, they seem to have a plethora of items and lots of customers. I would rather spend my money with the hard-working people in the trucks who pay all of the fees and have the required permits, but I can't afford to eat out very often, so I need to make sure the adventure is worth it.

    fire tacos and the fries are good, definitely recommend coming here. people here are super niceread more

    5/5 - I can't believe I hadn't updated my review. What a terrible yelper…read more Mothers helmed by head Chef Cuevas now has tacos al pastor en trompo! Sad to learn they no longer had ribeye tacos. Those seriously my fave but it's ok. I love tacos period and Mothers is always a great choice with their menu updates so I know I can count on tasty food regardless! Most recently, I had the suadero, al pastor and asada. My fave? The suadero! The churros for dessert with your choice of dipping sauce are so good. The marg didn't disappoint either! I have visited multiple times and they just celebrated their one year! We love the vibes. Staff is so warm. It feel like at friend's casita as soon as I walk it. Always greeted and acknowledged. Amazing customer service. They do get really busy at times but I'm not in a rush when I dine out. I go to enjoy myself and have good food. Also... the people complaining about prices are a bit nuts. Who says great quality Mexican food is cheap. This idea that Mexican food is cheap just because it's Mexican is pure craziness. Mother's uses good quality ingredients, no seed oils and they source local products. They work with local bakeries and shop at local farm markets. love that they as a business support local too. Counter service - order up front, get a number & wait for your food at your table :) They call your number and you pick it up. Chill but such a nice space. I've attend different events from a night market to their anniversary party, always a great time. Parking is limited, so when I can't find parking a park a few streets away but I do not mind walking.
