My order was made correctly and very tasty, even though the jalapeno topping was not spicy. But the hot dog was mini sized, a cute lil thing I could fit in my pocket. Also, parking and traffic in the area were a nightmare on Saturday evening (it's what you'd expect in East SJ).

Great pizza! Had to try it out because a San Jose food influencer kept mentioning how good this…read morepizza is and I do love a good pizza! Service is quick and the owner is super cool! He also offers hot honey which is included with the order! It's wood-fired too which is my favorite type of pizza! The only downside is that it's a pop-up business/catering service so you need to contact the owner where the business will be hosting. My preference would be at an outdoor brewery area, beer and pizza pairs so well with it. Will definitely be back!

The tacos are better than expected here. Three tacos and a Coke was $12 and change. The big plus, a…read morebig plus really, is it's located at the same plaza as an Asian drinking spot. Every few blocks on this stretch of Alum Rock Avenue has a similar setup: A truck/food stand for mainly to-go orders with very limited seatings. A regular taco is two small soft tortillas with your choice of grilled meats. You then have to add toppings and condiments at a garnishes station. Let convenience be your deciding factor then.

I was craving tacos and found this place randomly on Yelp. I used to frequent another taco truck in…read moreESSJ but I'm usually not in that area anymore so I've been searching for a late night taco option closer to me. Damian's is located inside a plaza on Alum Rock and should be easy to spot. There's a cart stocked with cilantros, onions, limes, salsas, jalapeños, and grilled onions that you can add onto your tacos, as well as ketchup and mustard for your hot dogs. Their tacos are $2.50 each with the exception of Lengua which is $3. They also offer bacon wrapped hot dogs for $4. We tried.. Pastor - This one was okay. Not bad but nothing special. Chuleta - I've never heard of this until now, but it's smoked pork chops. It tasted like bacon and was surprisingly good. Would recommend. Tripa - I didn't have any, but the boyfriend said it's the best tripa tacos he's had. Most places don't offer tripa, and the places that do offer it cook it a little too crispy. He said this one was the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. Would recommend. Cabeza - This is my favorite taco meat and they did not disappoint. Soft, juicy, tender. Would recommend. Lengua - Their lengua obviously has been braised for a long time. Most lengua is a little chewy but this one melts in your mouth. Unfortunately we prefer our lengua with a slight chew but this was still good depending on your preference. So tldr: Would recommend the cabeza and tripa tacos, and give the chuleta tacos a try if you like bacon. They're cash only so be sure to bring cash.

Friendly staff inside the truck. Had to first try their tacos. Next time maybe the quesadillas or burritos. Had three "authentic" tacos consisting of Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Asada. Onions and cilantro are optional but had to have them. Al Pastor was the winner. Followed by the carnitas and lastly the asada. Al Pastor had great flavor and the asada was just ok. Didn't try their salsas as I wanted to taste their meats without for the first time. Open until 10pm on week nights and 11pm on weekends. Closed on Mondays.

Parking horrific in this plaza, the event space small and crowded AF, lack of variety of food options (some of the listed vendors and eateries not even on site), numerous food stands with items sold out and crossed off on the menus three hours before closing time on Saturday. I did pick up a sweet and delicious chocolate chip cookie from Browned Butter Babe before leaving, but overall I was not impressed with this event.

There was a dj playing music. I heard some Justin Bieber while standing in line for food. Food was so good and my favorite was thai tea in a bag. So worth it and great price. It was authentic and stronger than a Thai tea I had at another food market I went to. Menus were hard to see at night, but I was surprised and happy with the bun baos which was hot and juicy. $16 for 2. Highly suggest grabbing a Nha sunset drink. I saw lots of people walking around with an orange drink with their brand on it. It's so popular. They had 2 other drinks, but their shop said it was sold out. I have noticed that parking was difficult. I think in general my bf said that Grand Century Mall/aka Vietnam Town is busy. We parked more on the side of the night market instead of the entrance to the mall. Walk was short to the night market. Fun night with bf and my sister.
