    Sopes
    Katie R.

    Cash and venmo only food truck posted up at a car repair shop on the San Jose/Campbell border. It had been years since I had La Burrita! I came here twice recently and tried a good variety of the menu, and I can't believe it took me so long to get back here. On the first visit I got a Torta and two sopes to share, I'd had the sopes in the past and liked them. The sopes were still very good, but the torta absolutely stole the show. I didn't get it on my second visit because I wanted to try some more stuff, and regretted not getting it because it was so damn good the first time. On the next visit I ordered a super burrito, quesabirria, shrimp taco, and taco plate with Al pastor, all to share again. It was for two of us and was way too much food, but the leftovers were great. The burrito was super solid, nice and big and loaded up with everything. The al pastor tacos were good, and I'd definitely order the al pastor again in either burrito or torta form. Everything we had here was good, but the torta, sopes, and burritos were my favorites. They have 99 cent tacos on Tuesday evenings, an unreal deal. There's a covered area next to the truck with a few picnic tables.

    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.

    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

    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.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up.

The service is not the best and you have to try hard to catch the servers attention. The food was better this time, but not as good as many other Mexican restaurants. It is not what I consider authentic Mexican food.

I had the shrimp enchiladas, and my wife had the vegetarian tacos with a side order of scrambled eggs. There was nearly a mixup as the waiter thought we wanted to order an egg taco and that's considerably more expensive but we got it straightened out with the maitre D. We also shared a Paloma cocktail with which has a pretty color and delightful taste.

This made it so seamless to reserve here. Our group got there at opening and our table was ready and most of the group was already seated when we got there. Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu.
