(Dined 07/12/22 TU @ 4:00pm): This taco truck seemed to be hitting "Js" from the long line and happy customers I saw! I recently introduced a friend to one of my favorite breweries at Paperback Brewing Co. when Jay'z Tacos Food Truck pulled up and was the day's food option. Prior to these COVID-19 times, I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, yet this was the first time I've ever seen this road restaurant and had to try them out. Would the food match the lovely aroma and eye-catching food I saw others with from this meals-on-wheels!? QUICK BIO "Jay'z Tacos was born from resilience. Having lost their jobs and facing difficult times in 2020, Jazmin and partner Jonathan turned their dream into a reality by creating Jay'z Tacos. By bringing their passion for the kitchen to the streets of Los Angeles, Jay'z Tacos is putting a brand new spin on old Mexican favorites. The food is colorful in its presentation and fully loaded with toppings, leaving you feeling full and satisfied. Try their bright and flavorful carne asada or fish tacos, the loaded fries, or stay for dessert and try their delicious churros. Find out for yourself what LA natives are raving about and book Jay'z Tacos today!" PURCHASE 3 Carne Asada Tacos ($12.75): Carne asada topped with pico de gallo, chipotle sauce, and guacamole placed on fresh corn tortillas and a side of spicy hot sauce, each taco was stuffed with a ton of seasoned succulent meat while all of the other fresh ingredients spilled out and was probably easier to eat these as a tostada only if the tortillas were harder and sturdier. At $4.25/taco, I felt the price was very reasonable for food truck prices and it all tasted wonderful https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gWhQmstt0xnUJw6X83yRNw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I dealt with a friendly young woman who quickly took my order, and minutes later my order buzzer https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=s2U4keRyCtMw3emEiAghMA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw blew up letting me know when my order was ready for pick up - easy-peasy! PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever they were serving food. I drove myself since I planned to be at the brewery. Otherwise, the venue was at Paperback Brewing Co. who had no parking lot but plenty of free parking on the main drag of Magnolia Ave. and all surrounding side streets (please read all posted street signs). Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient food truck with an exterior menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=23SdjTkiYuv-LHdwMXZoQA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, order and pick up windows, minimal area for condiments, napkins, and utensils. Natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while electric street lights glowed at night. There were no TVs nor background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SHPEz_OVG4WH2VPD-WPCAA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was thoroughly surprised by Jay'z Tacos Food Truck and would gravitate towards them in a crowded food truck scene. From the moment the aroma of their cooking meats wafted in my direction, their visual food excited my eyeballs, to the last lick of my fingers, I was impressed by the food. The prices were very reasonable and more than comparable within the food truck industry, and the service was straightforward as they did their job efficiently. The menu was limited as was the case for most food trucks, but I wanted to try everything now. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $13.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

I tried their taco truck at the Los Angeles salsa Festival. I ordered three beef tacos. They were very delicious. Their taco tortilllia is I think fried. It was very delicious. Service was also good. Price was high but for the festival it was normal. And it was ready in 10 minutes. Overall I enjoyed it. read more

I definitely recommend this truck! The attendant is so sweet. The window into the truck is huge you really see that everything is made fresh. The Fish Taco was so crispy, glad it comes in threes! The Al Pastor is sweet and well done, fries are still crisp even with the toppings. read more

Got a chance to try Jayz Tacos while at Fairfax Market, and I am so happy it did not disappoint! Ordered the carne asada fries and shrimp tacos shared between two people, and we were stuffed! Everything was made to order, fresh, hot, and delicious - I'm drooling just thinking about it again. Can't wait to get more next round! read more

Tried this this evening, had the shrimp fries which was super hot and fresh, really enjoyed my meal. The shrimp was tasty, and I did request less chipotle mayo. They gave a side of chili oil sauce which was super delicious and spicy. read more

Just went to their taco truck at the Melrose Trading Post this weekend and it was bomb! Never had tofu tacos before, but I would definitely go back if I'm around. Even though I took out the cabbage, because my belly not friends with cabbage, was still very delicious and chrispy. They added pico de gallo, cilantro, corn, some raddish and a bit spicy mayo and with the fried tofu it was just perfect for a sunday afternoon snack. read more

This new(er) truck is a total gem, and it's because of the hidden ingredient gem: got a carne asada burrito and the flavor was fantastic! Meat was very tender but there is a secret sauce of some kind inside that I swear was life giving. I don't know if it is the chipotle mayo (though it didn't taste exactly like that) but I'm telling you it sends it over the top. The tortilla is also toasted juuuuust a bit, ensuring the burrito remains solid state when you get it. So darn good. But it's this sauce - I don't know what it is and honestly I don't want to know. It might spoil the magic. read more

I love these guys so much. I live in the AVA apartments and whenever they come my roommates and I are immediately down there and ready to order from them. The food is phenomenal for a dieting cheat day and the owners are so nice and remember us. Tip them well because they deserve it! read more

Whenever Sarah's Market has pop-ups and I'm available, I usually head down there to support the small businesses. Since today is Good Friday lots of people will most likely be having Seafood for dinner. My default for seafood is usually Taco Nazo, but the lines are always long on fish Fridays. So I decided to try another vendor. I wasn't exactly close to East LA at the time and there was no phone number available on their Instagram but there was an option to text them so I figured that was the best way to give them my order so I can just drive by to pick it up since there's not alot of parking in front of the market. I was answered back promptly which I appreciated. They answered all my questions and I had an order in by the time I left the house. I pulled up and let them know I was there and the nice lady even came out and brought them directly to my car! There wasn't a lot of places to park and eat so I drove three major blocks till I got near this park I usually eat my meals at. I had the shrimp tacos first and while they didn't have the traditional white crema sauce, the one that was there in its place more than made up for it! What surprised me too was a strip of thinly cut (I'm assuming zucchini) that was inside the taco as well! The more veggies the better the way I look at it! The shrimp wasn't battered which was the greatest surprise of all, which means I didn't have to fight through batter to get the taste of shrimp that I wanted, and I definitely got that taste in these tacos! When it was time for the fish, the taste was just as welcoming as the shrimp ones! My only con was that because I drove far before actually eating them instead of eating them on the spot, the tortillas did get cool before anything else did. Other than that it was a great experience! read more

Found this place on yelp while on the hunt for funnel cake and I must say it did not disappoint. The funnel cake was delicious and it was not greasy. I will definitely be coming back again. I also tried their own spin on the dragon drink from Starbucks and it was tasty not too sweet and so refreshing for this heat. What I did appreciate the most was how friendly the staff was. read more

Wow! I cannot begin to say what a gem this place is. Tacos are fully loaded with so much goodness and the quesadilla was not your ordinary quesadilla. I actually don't even live near here, but found it on Instagram and was eyeing it for a few weeks until I decided to drive the half an hour to try and man, was it worth it. The staff is so nice too. Planning on coming here consistently. read more

This business speaks for itself, from the amazing taste down to the beautiful presentation. The sauces make all of their dishes simply delicious. My favorite dish is certainly the fries, extra pico & secret sauce please. Also their hydrating dragon fruit lemonade pairs perfectly with the richness of the food. They also sell dessert, funnel cakes & churros, paired with a little hot chocolate for the colder nights. Certainly hits the spot, stop by, you won't regret it ! read more

The tacos were very good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. You can tell from the pics that it is a sauce heavy taco, but it is very well balanced with cucumber and other veggies. The hot sauce is very good--hot and flavorful. read more

Honestly, one of the best tacos i've had in a while! Super nice & friendly. Definitely recommend the carne asada fries

Food tasted good and was prepared quickly. Note that the pricing on Yelp is out of date.

During our nightly walks, my lady and I would pass by Jay's tacos often and say hello to the vendors. We always saw their menu and said to ourselves next time and next time turned to a few weeks lol well the wait finally came to an end last night and we loved it! The tacos de al-pastor, fish and shrimp were bomb! We loved that they had dessert ( funnel cake ) on point! The customer service was fantastic and a shout out to the chef. I recommend tasting it for yourself. We for sure will be going back for more! Sorry no photo because we devoured it lol read more
