I am not gonna lie I didn't really eat much tacos because they weren't really my type of meat but when I tried their tacos I cannot explain how good the cabeza is. I love the tacos here probably the best place I've tried ofc I've tried other places but the quality here is insane for the price. The price is so good for the quality. It does take time and I've heard ppl complain but delayed gratification ppl quality food takes time if u don't want frozen dry food. read more

Erick El Taquero - Cabeza tacos with everything - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Ana, California

kinda like the pioneer chicken or blockbuster video. clearly on its way to extinction. his truck and menu actually look like something out of a museum. burrito tasted good - well proportioned, big on flavor from the rice and beans. but the asada itself was lacking in both quantity and flavor, which is kind of a problem in this side of town. the size of the burrito overall was also on the small side. come here if you're looking for a more traditional burrito and don't mind paying a bit extra. also come here if you want to see/taste a historical benchmark in mexican street food - while erick's still around. read more

Unassuming taco truck usually parked near the Chevron on Main St. The prices are kind of steep but it's Orange County. I stopped by on the way home from work for a burrito on recommendation from a friend and ended up leaving with a couple of tacos to try some of the meats too. Tortillas: dijeron que son hechos por mano, and it tastes and feels like it, I love house made tortillas. Salsas: tasty, the red is considerably spicy. Cabeza taco: the winner here for us, fatty, soft, tasty, literally coats your hand in oil when you put it down. Pastor taco: not bad, it was *very* sweet, balanced out with the spicy salsa they gave us. Asada burrito: I was sadly disappointed. The meat is beefy and fresh, but tastes like unseasoned pan-fried chuck. Not bad but also not very flavorful and full of giant chunks of hard fat. I also found 3 pieces of onion throughout before encountering a mouthful of raw white onion hidden in a deep pocket of the burrito. It's not a bad choice for a quick dinner or an un-sober night Mexican craving. But it didn't fully hit the spot after a hard day of work. I remain on the search for some good asada in Santa Ana. read more

A Santa Ana must! Been coming here for a little over 4 years and the food has always been consistent. They hands down have the BEST chorizo tacos I've tried in OC! Salsas are also very delicious. Service is always great as well. I wish they had a little seating area but then I'd probably keep ordering more food lol. If you're thinking of trying, you will not regret it! read more

I was expecting the burrito to be a lot larger. I also felt like the burrito could've had more contents other than just meat, cheese, beans, and rice. Some avocado, lettuce and salsa would've been great add-ons to it. Overall, not horrible, but I can't necessarily say that it was my favorite. read more

Really good tacos and nice people. If you were to go there make sure to Get the Philly cheese steak it was incredible

Very impressed with the quality and flavor. Came piping hot from DoorDash. I'm going to order again soon

I literally told her no cilantro and she even repeated back to me and gave me the most cilantro. Are you serious. Also I was the only customer there. Just tried the tripa and it was EXTREMELY SALTY. Dont get. read more

Ordered through DoorDash, but the food was really good. We got the Al pastor, chicken, carne asada and pollo tacos, along with a carne asada burrito and a carne asada quesadilla. The burrito and quesadilla were the best, and the tacos were good, just not as good as the burrito. The salsas were both good, the red is spicier than the green but both were tasty. Can't comment on the service or the location since I doordashed, but at the last the food was good. read more

Had the munchies and I realized I may have just found my new favorite taco truck in OC. Erick El Taquero is located in 100 Goetz Ave in Santa Ana near a Chevron and they're open until 1AM. They accept card and touch-less payments as well! It's a small taco truck that serves up Burritos, Tacos, Quesadillas, and Mulitas. I ordered 6 tacos with grilled onions, jalapeños, and the handmade tortillas, which do cost extra. My total came out to be $18, which is expected. The owner was friendly although he didn't notify us that the grilled jalapeños, onions, and the tortillas costed extra. Nonetheless, the food was amazing and the tortillas paired perfectly with the choices of meat, which were marinated perfectly and cooked to perfection. The grilled sides were wonderful as well and they added much flavor to the already flavorful tacos. I'll be back here! Support your local businesses (: read more

The food is always so great ! I miss the old cook because somehow the food tasted a little bit better. Regardless the food is amazing and full of flavor. The tortas are a must, they're so filling and delicious. Got to the point where I'd order once a week cause they were so good! Also love that they're open late. Just wish they had some dessert. read more

This place is truly great! They have the best prices and also hand make their tortillas. I honestly found them on DoorDash and am really glad I did. I like their chorizo and Al pastor tacos. I look forward to eating many more of their tacos! C'mon...taste their magic! read more

I was in area for a few days. So used my helpful Yelp app to locate me some Tacos!! Pulling up.. Dark Taco spot on a side street, a little sketchy. Just my style~~ Service was cool. Salsa was good. Tacos were good. They have the Trompo set up. I ordered a Choriqueso.. lol the name is so terrible lmao. Its on my plate. It wasn't cooked in cheese as I expected. Just a little Taco sprinkled with cheese. It was cute! Also, I added Guacamole but it was just a slice of Avocado. Big difference! It was a good find for the night and not being familiar with area. read more

Food is great. Keep coming back. Hand tortillas and regular tortillas, I really can't decide which I like more.

Super annoying that they kept asking if I wanted stuff with my order making it sound like it was included (onions, jalapeños, etc) and then the total came out like $5 more than it should have because they never said or have it posted anywhere that what they are asking you is extra. Foods good. read more

Came out super hot and was very cheap compared to other places in the area! Wasn't as juicy as I expected but came with a lot of meat per taco and the pastor flavor was definitely better than the asada :,). Came with two different type of sauces and radishes + lime as well. Overall not comparable to the best tacos I've had but decent for the price point! read more

I came here yesterday with my family. We ordered $70 worth of asada Tacos and burritos. The meat was very bland and dry. I came here 30 min after they opened. I think he gave us cooked/ left over meat from the day before. The food was terrible. Sorry, but you lost a customer. read more

Extremely unprofessional had him come to serve our community and halfway through the service he decided he was done serving and left. Did not notify the property and we had a line of customers waiting to be fed super upset. We attempted to contact him to see if they would return to the property. He said he would get back to me and never did. read more

Just ordered from here through DoorDash and omg... I will def be ordering from here again! The meat had so much flavor & the salsa was so good read more

I love this place. But they always mess up the order somehow, forget the double meat you pay for, forget to add cheese, give you the wrong taco, etc. Still five stars and I'll still keep ordering, but can you guys please read your orders correctly? read more

Sunday, 8PM * Parking and Location * The truck we went to was right next to the Yum Yum Donuts on 17th just off of the 5 freeway, not the address listed on this page. It's a more residential area so you have to do street parking. It's also pretty dark around, not many street lights, so just be wary of your surroundings. * Food * Al pastor - This was one of the best al pastor tacos I've had. The marinade on the meat was flavorful with a little bit of a kick. The meat itself was soft and not too dry. I would honestly go just for this. Buche - The buche here was unfortunately not as good both flavor-wise and texture-wise. Tripa - Interesting that we couldn't see visible chunks of intestine anywhere. We actually were having a hard time figuring out which taco was the tripa since the intestines were chopped up and looked kind of like the other meats. Suadero - Probably the second best of the night out of the four different meats we got. It was soft and melts in your mouth. Definitely softer than other suadero I've had, so it actually threw me off for a bit in the beginning, but I still enjoyed it. What really made the tacos though were the salsas. They were BOMB and gave the tacos that extra umph of flavor and spice that took them to the next level. Load your tacos with the salsas, you won't regret it. Honestly the salsas and the al pastor were what pushed me to give a 4 star review considering the buche and tripa. * Service * There weren't too many people in line ahead of us, but because we ordered handmade tortillas, the wait was a little longer. Just FYI that handmade tortillas cost $0.60 extra per taco, and avocado is extra as well if you want that. There's no sign for the extra charges and they don't tell you verbally either, but they'll ask you if you want them. Don't be surprised to see the extra charges on your receipt. read more

Horribke service. Screwed up my entire order. I would give 0/5 if i could. Avoid this place at all costs - pretty sure all the positive reviews here are fake or incentived read more

Ordered this on door dash last week was super impressed! Tacos were so fire and It arrived with ample salsa which both were so yummy! They also included lots of limes and radish. Will for sure be ordering again! read more

I went to get tacos today since I didn't feel like cooking on a rainy day, it was upsetting. Saw a guy bring back some tacos he took that they made incorrectly. And the taquero throws meat and tortillas back on the grill, and I see him grab the tortillas and served me those tacos that were already touched and returned from another person and mixed the chorizo with the rest of the chorizo that was cooking I think its unhealthy not only cause of covid but just in general. I don't see myself coming back again. Me and my family would come here alot but after this unfortunately I won't. It's disgusting, I also asked for no onion or cilantro read more

BEST FOOD EVER THEIR TACOS HAD SO MUCH FLAVOR!! The best bc they work so calmly and they aren't mean at all. Recommend coming here

Delicious tacos on homemade tortillas! Tried the carnitas and al pastor with their green salsa and loved it. Would absolutely try something else on a future visit. read more

Found this while searching for El Pepino Loco #2 truck. Ended up being 20 minutes early for that truck (which I also highly recommend). I was craving meat which isn't served at the corn truck so it worked out perfect. When we stepped out of the car we were swarmed with the awesome smell of taco meat. Whatever it was we knew we were gonna enjoy our dinner. We got four tacos each. They are either $1.25 or $1.50 depending on the meat. They have so many options. They have suadero!!! Between the two us we tried 5 options: asada, carnitas, pastor, suadero, and choriquezo. Our faves were the asada and carnitas. They also had some good salsa to top the tacos with and some pickled onions. We are definitely looking forward to coming back and trying the other options. After tacos don't forget to hit up the El Pepino Loco #2 for some corn and fresh fruit drink. read more

Very low quality food. I'm not sure what I just ate, just few pieces of bread and some type of meat look a like...

The newest taco truck in town has a good selection of meat choices, 11 total. 100% authentic Mexican, open late and cheap. Tacos range in price, between $1 to $1.50. Other menu items include burritos, quesadillas and mulitas. What they do right: meats come piping hot and very tender, generously portioned, topped with perfectly grilled Mexican green onion bulb cut in half, impressive offering of meat choices, awesome salsas, ice chilled sodas (including Mexican varieties) sold in the glass bottles. What could be improved: meats need more seasoning, tripas should be fried longer to give them a crunchy texture, lengua is a bit gamey. This taco truck has real potential but could improve. They also have stiff competition with the popular taco truck business Taqueria Ayutla Oaxaca parked only a block away. Stays open until 1am. read more

I enjoy this truck. Erick and his team do a good job. The asada cheese tacos are good and the meat quality is ok. Good pricing and friendly service. I like the atmosphere there. It's very chill and the food is comforting. There's typically parking in either side of the street and by the storage facility. They have good hours too. If there's one thing I appreciate is that it's consistency. This truck is always here. I value that. read more

I never decided to come here till recently. Was always recommended and I always passed by this on my way home from work. In the most random business area off harbor and MacArthur! Get the tacos with cheese, and eat them fresh. I took them Togo the first time and wasn't so good but when I ate there the second time could definitely tell the difference! read more
