STOP....Here!!! That's right, book mark it on your way from I5. Perfect location, near freeway, safe, gas stations nearby. Need Starbucks...just a block away also. Very clean. So, this Mexican food truck offers delicious food and very economical. Great service. Covered eating area with benches. Also a spot to wash your hands after finger licking meal. They have everything you'll desire for a meal or appetizer. MUCH better than a chain restaurant. I'm a fan and I've stopped off at least ten times. read more

Elsy's Antojitos - My usual. Two delicious chicken tacos for $3.50. The jalapeño rocks!!! - Mexican Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

We always get gas here whenever we're driving for the holidays from the Bay Area to San Diego. Restroom @ Chevron, we've always been curious about this food truck located inside the premise. Ordered the carne asada burrito- no sour cream and no onions. You can order for here or to go, we got to go and ate it in our truck bed with my blanket cus it's pretty cold out. They take cash and card :) Good burrito! A little oily but worth it. read more

This place was so good & conveniently located! Definitely worth trying if you're ever passing by

So I think? this was the taco truck I just ate at, but maybe not so I'll leave a review under each of the businesses. While riding MEGABUS this was our meal rest stop, and we stop right outside TA, with the shittier than shit Taco Bell and subpar Popeyes. Hard pass on those. On the way up, this guy next to me said to check out the taco truck across from ARCO. I'm glad I took his advice! The prices were dirt cheap and the tacos were to die for. They had birria so you know I went for that, it was juicy and just a little spicy, with a taco tortilla cooked in lard to crisp it up. Mmmmmmmmm it was so good. Also opted for the pastor which was also memorable. Small tacos (2-3 bites) but they're only $1.50 so get a bunch. Also got some Eloté but it wasn't grilled corn so that was mehhh. Definitely worth a stop when coming up or down the 5. read more

I drive often between SF and LA, and I stop by at this place a lot--which tells you how much I like it! It's like a mirage in the middle of endless lands of dirt and fast food... could it be?--something worth eating along the 350mi drive (besides the fancy Harris Ranch)??? Also, for all the track folks--this is at Buttonwillow!!! Unfortunately I discovered this place after I've taken a break from going to the track--but this would be such a great place to go after a long morning of lapping! What I got this time: 1. Pupusa--one pork and one bean and cheese. $2.75 each. First off, I'm not Mexican so I do not know what these things are suppose to taste like, so I can't compare. But the pork one tasted great to me. There's a good roasted corn taste to the shell, and the insides are nice and savory, with the right amount of grease. I didn't like the bean and cheese one too much--I dunno why, but the stuffing tasted slightly sour to me. I think it's the cheese. I didn't finish that one. But the pork one was great! 4/5. 2. Taco (carne asada) $1.50. Just a simple taco with 2 small corn shells and the asada stuffing, which was nicely grilled and seasoned, with the right amount of grease. I like. 5/5. So, if you're looking for a break from all the awful food along the 5, this will be your haven! 4/5. #Mexican #truck read more

They set up a more permanent location in the Arco parking lot and they now have a good size, covered, outdoor seating area where we can sit and enjoy this delicious food! Try the pupusas-- they take a little longer, but they are worth the wait! Oh yeah, and their hours now say they are open 'til 2! read more

when traveling down HWY 5 DONT miss out on this spot. had the pastor and asado burrito and the taco asado and tripa. flavorful without being salty. don't worry about the taco truck appearance. better than eating at any of the fast food joints nearby. read more

Very good food. Speed on our way to San Francisco and had to stop again on our way home Highly recommended read more

This taco truck to me is better than most and it's pretty affordable. Each taco is 1.75 and I tried the lengua and fish taco. The lengua was tasty and was filled with tender meat and spiced well. The fish taco was alright. I wouldn't buy it again because the texture is more like chicharon (pork skin) and crumbly. I prefer my fish tacos to be more flesh like and not crunchy like chicharon, but even then it was still good. I also ordered a papusa and that one had chicharon in it and it was better and fresher than the papusa place across the way in the other truck. Overall, if I had to choose my lunch and lived in Buttonwillow, I'd go here over Tita's. read more

Elsy's Antojitos - Mexican Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

Stopped here on our way back to the bay .. it's a nice chilly afternoon so I was extremely happy to see they had champurrado and tamales de elote. When we pulled up the cashier was very friendly and the place was nice and tidy considering it's an outside eating situation (no flies) we got my food to go as we still have another 3 hours to get home and to my pleasant surprise both the tamales and the champurrado were delicious (best we've ever had) !! I will definitely make an effort to stop here on a future trip to or from LA. read more

I know what your thinking Taco truck in the middle of almost no where. This place is really good . We committed when we saw truck driver stop here just eat. Took the risk and we are very happy we did we will stop here every time we go from SoCal to NorCal and back read more

Stopped here on the way from SoCal, food was soooo good!!! The tacos, tostadas, beans and rice was yummy in our tummies!!! We all left, feeling so satisfied. We'll definitely make a point to stop here whenever we drive through. Our only complaint is that it is too far from home!!! read more

I wasn't expecting much, it looked like an interesting taco truck. The food was actually fantastic! I ordered the special three tacos w/beans and rice, and was I blown away They let me order my way just like mom used to make it. Shall I say more I definitely have to come back to buttonwillow. Where this is? read more

It's always good to get away from the standard fare, but this was pretty normal. My wife and son had grilled chicken salads - chicken was tough and chewy on a bed of iceberg lettuce with tomatoes. I had a chicken burrito - also pretty normal. Overall pretty weak. read more

Pastor tacos con arros y frijoles was super yummy. I really loved the grilled / lightly caramelized onions pieces too. Can't ask for much more from a truck in a gas station parking lot. Definitely coming back next time we need to use the supercharger here. read more

Don't be turned off by the taco truck ambiance. Outstanding super burritos and quick in and out from the freeway.

Love love love stopping here for great tacos while we're traveling to NorCal. Best food in that area!

So amazing!! The 2 women working are awesome! The food was fast and delicious! Great place to stop and get gas and some homemade Mexican food. I had the Al pastor Torta which was amazing but prepare to get messy. My Boyfriend had the pastor burrito and it was so juicy, I can't stand dry burritos but this was far from that. I hope this place stays alive so I can stop every time I drive up north! read more

Actually in the Chevron parking lot. Seriously you can get a 3 taco lunch for $6! Tacos were great! read more

What a surprise! This taco truck is a delicious option when traveling the 5 fwy. Carne asada burrito was delicious as well as the pupusa de queso. The champurado-also on point. read more

"Let's grab a quick bite" Bad idea. I eat at food trucks 2-3x per week as they show up at my company in the valley. The whole idea of a food truck is good quality food...fast. Elsy's is neither. All four of us were so upset after waiting 30 minutes for five soft tacos, absolutely infuriating. Then, top it off with the cashiers gangsta, rude, bad attitude. When I asked how large something was, she sneered at me and laughed. When I finally got my crappy tacos I asked for two more napkins as there was three of us sharing, she gave me a cold hard stare, sneered again and threw them at me. WT??!! Nasty attitude, she will do that to the wrong person some day. The asada and pollo tacos were dry and you do not get any sour cream or pico de gallo...only this over the top, tasteless, way too spicy sauce that even my 'I love it hot' palate could not tolerate. It tasted like habaneros with tomatoes and water thrown into a blender and served. Not tolerable. The ONLY thing good about this experience was the chorizo tacos...they were very tasty. I could have been 40 miles further south in the time it took in waiting for this food. I could have sat IN a Mexican restaurant, ordered and eaten in the time it took to get these five soft tacos. I won't ever be back read more

Lot's of great food trucks in Buttonwillow but there's a reason Elsy's is popular. I had maybe the best Chicken Burrito I've very had (The Super Burrito). They were happy to customize it and it was more than enough for dinner. I loved that they chopped and mixed all the ingredients! Never seen that before and it was awesome! Their soup and pupusas also looked incredible. read more

Seriously so good. Why would anybody stop at Taco Bell or mcdonalds when this is here. Good price and huge portions. The pastor was the perfect amount of spicy. And they made the food really fast. read more

This taco truck is way better than one might expect. Great carnitas. $1.50 tacos. Their vegetarian burrito came with cucumbers and peppers and was really fresh and delicious. Covered picnic benches to escape the sun. Great pit stop on the I-5 beat. read more

Excelente foodeverything it's supper clean and the food not to mention it's very delicious So if ur on a commercial industry Driving towards Fresno Sacramento I would really recommend you guys on the road stopping by there! read more

Love this place food was great fast cooked fresh first time here pupasas were huge reasonable prices

Best little lunch spot on the I5! Delicious and cheap and not fast food. Support a local food truck. Hint: avoid the beef and go for the carnitas. read more

Elsy's Antojitos - Carnitas tacos - Mexican Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

We stopped here to get gas on the trip back to the bay. They took thirty minutes to get us a simple order of Asada tacos. When we asked about it, they gave us the impression they forgot. When I was about to ask for a refund, they finally had our order. I peeled back the order and they got it wrong. If you're going back to Oakland or LA, bypass this place and just go straight to your favorite taco truck at home. I added a star to what should have been 1-star rating for their apology to how long it took and for the salsa, which is on the better side of what I have had. read more

Elsy's is a very good taco joint and a major upgrade from the usual fast food junk along I-5 and you'll end up paying about the same or even less. Plus no funny service crap like Tita's across the way. The birria and carnitas were both excellent, the al pastor not so much. The #6 combo (3 tacos and rice/beans) is a good deal. Will be back. read more

Must have el pastor tacos for 1.50. Also tried sopes which were pretty good too!
