This was my third time eating at this wonderful food truck. I ordered 3 pastor street tacos. Wow! They were delicious, well seasoned, tender and overflowing with meat and guacamole. I inhaled one on the spot and brought 2 home. The service was friendly, fast and efficient. I can't say enough about this truck located just behind the grocery outlet in downtown Weed. Well done, amigos, well done. read more

My chicken quesadilla was perfect! Big chunks of chicken, tomatoes, and melted cheese on a perfectly grilled tortilla along with mild salsa made a messy and fun lunch. The service was great and the humble picnic tables offered a great place to rest on a sunny day. Looking to the south, you have awesome views of Black Butte and a 360 panorama of nature. read more

We love this place it's one of the best places to get a taco better than any of the other taco trucks in the area thank you Juan!

I have a torn calf muscle so I am limited right now in life...I went here at 3pm on a Saturday and the truck was nowhere to be found...Two picnic tables were there and nothing else....I had to limp in discomfort about 600 'to get there only to find out nobody was there...Yelp states they are open till 6pm and Google which was updated just over a week ago states they are open till 8pm...I also checked their FB page but there was nothing on it about them not being there today...In fact the last update on their FB was May 16...I'm tired of these businesses that could care less about their customers. read more

Yep! Slammin'Tacos as everyone has said. Saw this on my way Northbound to PNW and now that i was southbound and bored of all the cookie cutter sweet/savory coffee stop snack food, i was ready to give this spot a try having read everyone's reviews. My base test is always a carne asada taco, Ahh man tender perfectly seasoned and cooked beef and so delicious! The carnitas were cooked Juicy and not crispy. Squeeze the lime on everything! Totally gonna be our regular food stop. When you need some real food on your road trip- def stop here in Weed and look for this taco truck -near Starbuck but across from Pilot Gas Station. I'm a So. Cal Girl with SF/Bay Area food standards (pretty high-spoiled with great food) and this will hit the spot for most for sure! Staff was super friendly to boot! read more

Excellent people, excellent food and one always cooks a couple extra french fries for my hounds! Just go you'll be glad you did!!! read more

The food was good. The portions were good. I liked the flavor of carne asada. $28 for a Cali burrito and a bean, rice, and carne asada burrito seems a bit much. Didn't come with chips or anything. read more

The reviews made my expectations for this truck sky high, but then I remembered where I was. I ordered 6 tacos - asada, carnitas, deshebrada, adobada, fish, and lengua. To keep the review short, I found every taco meh except for the asada and fish. The carne asada had a very very nice smokey flavor that you'd rarely find anywhere else. I found the salsa roja sweet and similar to marinara sauce. The fish taco was fried perfectly and had good crispiness. The other tacos I mentioned were either overcooked or lacked flavor. I've been spoiled by the taco offerings in Southern California and the tacos here are definitely more Americanized Tex-Mex style. read more

Food truck. Meats prepared at their Yreka restaurant. Really liked my carne asada tacos. Street taco style. Very good flavor. Service was quick and friendly. It's a food truck in a field next to a street and near a truck stop; Yelp, why are you asking me about ambiance? read more

Got fish and chicken tacos. Easy access from the I5 highway. Chicken taco was not good: the chicken felt it was stale and as if it was previously frozen. Fish taco: this was good, not great. The fish is deep fried with lots of batter. Got it with spicy salsa which went well. Expected much better based on the reviews and that it was a local food truck. Cash only. read more

Excellent authentic tacos and the burrito was huge. GPS is wrong. The trailer is on Vista across the street from busy truck stop. Pretty close to I-5 so great for fast meal in your air conditioned car or RV. read more

Trust your first thought. I'm working in town and had no idea of this place. As I pull up there are no customers around and it's next to a busy truck stop. I wait about 10 min and a truck driver walks by so I asked for an opinion on the place. He approved. Must of been a hungry truck driver. Burrito was room temp at best. The meat I couldn't tell if it was beef or pork. It looked like beef jerkey. It was like eating kernel corn hard and crunchy. Seemed like it was fried and left out for days. For $13 go to taco bell a block away. read more

Scarfed down the tacos before I even thought of snapping a picture, but OMG, you had to be there to smell them anyways. If this taco truck was standing among a fleet of food carts, I'd automatically gravitate towards it. The meat is delicious, the food is fresh, and the muchachos working inside are muy bien! Absolutely recommend stopping by if you're driving Weed. Muchas gracias to my Amigos that put a few good tacos in my tank! read more

Well gosh. I feel like I should be more generous because it's far far better than the actual Mexican restaurant down the street, and it's probably the best Mexican food in either Shasta or Siskiyou County, but at the end of the day, it's still just ok. Will I eat here again? Extremely likely - I'd say it's one of the better choices in weed if you aren't into McDonalds. Great view of Mt. Shasta with a picnic table to hang out with - props there. read more

Amazing burritos and fast service. My burrito was $13, $15 with tax but was very huge and obviously made with fresh ingredients. Got the cali burrito, a burrito with fries and guacamole! Takes about ten mins when there is no line because they cook the meat fresh right after you order. read more

We were visiting Shasta for weekend getaway. After a day hike we were so hungry, before proceeding to our next scenic spots, we wanted to grab a quick bite. Read amazing reviews about this place and we got here. Very reasonable price, food is fresh, staff is friendly. They have veggie tacos.. yay! We ordered veggie tacos, chicken taco and veggie quesadilla. Everything was perfectly packed and delicious Definitely recommend everyone to try them out. read more

This is by far the most amazing food facility in the area. I came by during a road tip, and boy was i pleasantly supposed. I had a fish/Shrimp Burrito, the ingredients were so fresh ! It was honestly mouth watering! They even created a cute seating area with an unobstructed view of mt Shasta ! Line can get pretty over whelming, but what would you expect for the best spot in the areas read more

This place is a gem in the state of Jefferson. Came down the mountain into more smoking air. What I need was a burrito. Went to the grocery outlet in Weed, CA. My friend looked across the street eagerly and yelled " I see the taco truck!", nice... I need to try the carnitas cause that's the first thing you try. The burrito was really delicious, probably the best north of the bay in Cali! My friend scarfed down his tacos then he ran and got lost into grocery outlet. This place wasn't packed but got steady customers throughout our stay. There's only one picnic table outside and it's hot in the summertime so be warned... read more

I want to start by saying I eat Mexican food everywhere I go and grew up in San Diego and El paso. I love finding taco trucks and I happen to find El Zaguan on Yelp. I'm sooo glad I did!!! This place is legit! Some of the best AL pastor and carnitas I've had!!! This place is up there with the taco truck from Hamilton City and Gordo in Chico. These guys were from Tijuana originally and they knew what's up with Carne asada French fries!!!! As a so-cal kid, I grew up on this San Diego local dish. It's rare to find up in Northern California and the best I've had is from Sol in Chico. Normally, they aren't on the menu as they tried for a while and all the locals had no idea what they were missing and they soon came off the menu. Anyways, the first day I came here I got a AL pastor burrito for lunch, came back with a friend for dinner and got the carnitas burrito. Both were excellent. After speaking with the owners, he offered to make me his version of Carne asada fries!!! I was very excited and I got it with the al pastor. Money!!! This place is a gem in Northern California and you can't go wrong with a good pit stop in Weed!!! Maybe you'll get some munchies and get a bomb burrito at El Zaguan!!! I know I'll always stop when I drive by from here on out!! I want to thank these guys for going out their way to make my favorite Mexican/American dish when I was just there for a couple days!!! Go eat their food!!! You won't regret it!! read more

Great find for yummy carnitas tacos and burritos. Large portions and perfectly prepared!

Wow! My wife and we're hungry, looking for a quick stop on our way to the Portland area. We didn't want McDonalds, Birger King or Taco Bell. This place hit the spot. My wife had a beans, rice, and cheese burrito. I had asada tacos (spicy). Both were great! Fresh and fast too. Don't miss this place at the end of the main road just past the Bargain Market. read more

delicious and fast. don't skip!! the birria, al pastor, caring asada, and carne asada were fantastic!
