    $0.99 + tax / taco
    Shins T.

    My husband found this place on social media as they were promoting their $0.99 Taco Tuesday special. It's a taco truck with a tent and picnic tables set up next to a smog station. I like that you have the option to dine-in and eat the tacos while they're fresh. The picnic tables and surrounding area were clean and well lit. Note, it's cash only for the Taco Tuesday tacos. We came at ~5:30PM and found a parking spot out front. Luckily, there was no line as we heard this place can get busy. I ordered 5 Al Pastor and 5 Carnitas tacos. 10 tacos might be overkill as I found 6 tacos to be more enough for a filling meal. I personally liked the carnitas better than the al pastor, but did find that both meats were on the dry side. The tortillas are smaller than your average street taco, but for $1/taco, you can't complain about this deal. They have a mini sauce bar with 3 types of salsas. Green, red, and orange. Note, all salsas have a kick, with orange being the most spicy. We were informed by the lady working that they don't give salsa containers if you dine-in so you have to pour the salsas directly onto the taco. Start with a small amount to test your tolerance level and you can always go back for more.

    Been here twice, once in the summer & now! Solid spot for $1 tacos and you get what you paid for. I've only tried the pastor and wish it was more tender and juicy. I would say it's more on the dry side, but that's why you eat it with salsa. First off, the salsas here are BOMB. Super spicy with flavor! They definitely make the tacos taste alot better. This place seems poppin on Taco Tuesday because there's a line whenever I'm here. They also accept cash or venmo! This is a good spot if you're on a budget.

    Soooo scrumptious. Taco tuesdays here should be gatekept, so consider yourself lucky if you're ready this review. You really can't complain about $1 tacos in this economy!!! The Al Pastor is definitely a big highlight here! Sweet and savory. Well made, and has a fresh sweetness from the pineapple they use. Tender pork and it's quite delicious. There's only 4 picnic tables outside this little truck, so expect to get this as takeout during peak hours!!

    Who doesn't love $1 tacos on a Tuesday!? Found this place on tik tok and had to go here on a Tuesday! It's in San Jose adjacent from the Campbell area. The food truck shares the area of an auto body shop, so you can park directly on site or park the KFC next door. It's only a 3 minute walk away. There's always a long line since the tacos are so good and the turn around is go fast. They have 3 meats of el pastor, carne asada, and pollo. Our group ended up getting 20+ tacos at the end of the night. The place has benches for sitting but you're going to have to wait or share since it's a popular spot. Definitely coming here again!

    About six months ago, I had the goat quesabirria tacos at Copita in Willow Glen. They were fantastic -- tender, flavorful, totally worth the price. The goat flavor was bold and unmistakable, yet cooked so well that even someone in my group who never eats goat ended up taking my whole taco... and then we ordered another plate. That's how good it was. The only real miss? No horchata. I had to pair it with alcohol, water, or a fountain drink, and honestly... quesabirria without horchata just doesn't feel right. I walked away thinking, "If only they had that white horchata, this would've been perfect." So for the past half year, I've been on the lookout for a spot that serves both quesabirria and horchata. Today, I finally found it at this food truck (they've got tables set up outside) -- and it felt like checking off a little bucket list item. The beef quesabirria tacos here are loaded with big chunks of chuck, slow-simmered until juicy and tender, with just the right amount of collagen. Way better than the shredded versions. Portions are generous too. Only downside? The salsa verde could use more heat. Now, the star for me: horchata. Thick, rich, full of rice flavor, with a bit of grainy texture and specks of real vanilla bean seeds. Not the watery sweet kind -- this one has weight, depth, and a lingering vanilla finish. Pairing it with quesabirria felt like the universe was finally aligned. And here's a bonus detail: through the food truck window you can see a trompo al pastor turning slowly. Didn't try it this time (already too full), but just seeing it there was enough to make me drool. In the Bay Area, most taco trucks rely on prepped meat -- very few still use the real spinning trompo. That deserves credit. Friendly owner, fast service, clean setup. For a food truck, they do not cut corners. Bottom line: if you're chasing beef quesabirria tacos with real horchata, this is the spot. For goat quesabirria, go to Copita -- but for that "dream fulfilled" moment, this truck is the one. -- Dr. C Only writing for what truly earns the stars.

    Saw this taco truck on Tik Tok promoting 1$ tacos on Tuesdays and had to come check them out. I ordered 15 tacos 8 pastor and 7 chicken. They are small portions but worth every bite but you definitely get what you pay for. The sauce is super flavorful as well and service was pretty quick after I ordered. Highly recommend if you're in the area to check them out. Will be coming back again on Tuesdays! Btw orange sauce is really spicy.

    Oh man their nacho cheese fries are so good. Super hot and fresh. So much toppings. Just had to add their spicy orange sauce to make it spicy. Their taco Tuesday is only good for their Al pastor. The asada and chicken are always too dry but the sauce can make up for it. The pastor is always moist though. I wanted to try their asada fries and it was really nice on a cold day. Fills you up and keeps you warm. Just rmemebee you don't get to go containers for the sauce if you dine in. Their tent with tables is a really nice touch to just hang out. You really don't hear much Road noise even though you're pretty much near it. Service was just simple too, order, get food.

    Quessadilla

    Food was very good, ingredients were very fresh. The hot salsa was actually really hot loved it. They also prepared the food very quickly. Also they have ample seating for bring parked near a gas station. We might make this our regular taco place

    All the salsas they offer
    Maddison R.

    Tried this spot on a whim and it was so good! I got chicken, Al pastor and asada tacos my favorite of them was the asada it was very tender and flavorful. The chicken and Al pastor were good as well just not as good as the asada was. All of the salsas were pretty spicy so if you can't handle spice you won't like any of them. Ended up getting 12 tacos for $48. Overall really good spot! I'd come here again for sure.

    But it was sooo gooooooood. First taqueria for me that had a beautiful presentation along with delicious, flavorful food. My mouth wants to eat more than my stomach can handle. Meat was really good.

    Lengua Tacos Best of the best for a quick Lengua Taco. Very flavor able and the salsa is very good

    "Out" of pastor

    Stopped by for their $1 Taco Tuesday, which advertises unlimited carnitas, pollo, and al pastor. Sounds like a great deal, but the experience didn't quite match the promise. They said they were out of al pastor, even though a full stack was still rotating on the grill for everyone to see. It came off as more of a tactic to slow down orders than an actual shortage. The tacos were fine, but the way they manage the deal feels misleading. If there are limits, just say so. People understand cost control, but pretending something isn't available when it clearly is doesn't leave a good impression.

I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

Throughout the wait, several servers were gathered in the corner talking and laughing while tables--including ours--were left unattended. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the service. The meat was dry, lacked flavor, and the shrimp was so chewy that I couldn't finish it. It was honestly one of the worst shrimp dishes I've ever been served. I've seen countless influencers giving this place glowing reviews, and after eating here, I simply don't believe them. My experience was the complete opposite. If you appreciate good food and good service, I would strongly recommend spending your money somewhere else.
