    Quesadilla
    Connie N.

    I was craving La Carreta's Al Pastor Burrito and for my second time here, I wasn't disappointed at all. Came here with the best expectations and finished my food very satisfied. I love their Al Pastor Super Burrito and so far this spot is at the top of my list. We ordered like 35-40 minutes before closing time, but didn't expect folks to be waiting. Regardless of the number of people there, service was quick for a team of 2 preparing our food. Friendly and welcoming people was a plus! 10/10 again and will be back FASHO

    Asada tacos
    Nelly J.

    Tacos were good and fresh. Highly recommended. The shells weren't dry and they were loaded with meat that was flavorful, not fatty. And at $3.50 each that's a good price for the area. Even the salsas were good and not watered down like a lot of places do. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.

    Ordered the Regular Burrito (pollo), and when asked for spicy or mild I said spicy. It was delicious, and normally when asked spicy vs mild I can never tell the difference, but this actually had a little something. Came with chips and green salsa. Everything was great, if maybe a little salty. Even when slightly busy it didn't take long to get my food.

    Carne Asada Fries

    On a cold Wednesday afternoon, my partner and I wanted to find a good Mexican spot for some food. I found this taco truck on Google and with such good reviews, I knew it would be worth a try. So, we headed over and they are parked up by a company's office building, which in retrospect it is probably fine to just park in that parking lot for a short time, but scared we had parked across the street. It is a relatively busy wide street so it was a little suspect, but nonetheless we made our way to the truck. We ordered a super burrito with cabeza as well as the carne asada fries. The burrito was absolutely massive and the meat was super tender. The carne asada fries were also in a huge portion and so delicious. The meat was chopped up really small so it was tender and there was this smokeyness in the meat that was so nice. The food here was so good and the owner/operator was a really chill guy. I will definitely come back here for more.

    Cebeza. Supee Burrito Super this sh@t is huge!!! And delicious!

    Called in an order unfortunately they didn't have gorditas (main item that caught my attention online). Instead I order 1 taco each of Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Chorizo. Glad I called in since it was a quick pick up after I arrived. They looked amazing and filled with so much meat but as far as flavor I would say 2/3 needed salt to be added. The AlPastor looked like it would be very tasty and well seasoned however once you take your first bite all you tase is the clumped powdered seasonings that didn't distribute well enough across the marinated meat. The carnitas definitely needed more seasoning to it but once you add the salsa it kicks it up a little more. The Chorizo was the only one that tasted as expected and had a nice little crunch behind various pieces which I love. I also ordered the Horchata which was tasty as long as I didn't go too deep into the cup where the sediments had settled. If they do have gorditas down the road I would love to come back and try it out.

    I've been wanting to try OLHSO Truck since it opened and finally had my chance during a catered…read moreevent. The concept of having Korean food cooked in a robotic food truck is interesting to me. Since the food was catered, unfortunately I was unable to see the robots cooking in action, but fortunately was able to taste the final products. I was able to try the Wagyu galbi (short ribs), dak galbi (marinated chicken), Seoul food bowl (stir-fried pork belly and shrimp), and japchae, served with their corn salad, kimchi, and white rice. The Wagyu galbi was very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables; though I enjoyed the inclusion of lotus root, the veggies seemed like borderline filler to skimp out on meat. The dak galbi was also flavorful though spicy, and again the inclusion of rice cakes seemed like filler. The pork belly and shrimp were delicious, and I liked that the pieces of pork belly I had didn't have an overpowering amount of fat. The japchae was pretty standard and was nice to balance out the meat. I enjoyed the corn salad because it added a creamy component to my meal. The kimchi got lost in the mixture of food in my bowl and the rice was cooked perfectly by the robot. Overall, I enjoyed the food prepared by OLHSO Truck. Unfortunately, since the food was catered and already prepared when I arrived, I cannot comment on the service or wait times provided by the staff. I would consider ordering food from the truck if I am craving Korean fusion type of food and am too lazy to dine in at a local Korean restaurant. If the food from the truck is a good representation of the restaurant in downtown San Mateo, I am more inclined to try the restaurant for a nice sit down dining experience.

It also said to check their Instagram for their schedule. Checked the Insta and the pinned post says it would be open for business today, Aug 8, from 11am - 2pm for zip codes 94403-94404 (which we live in). Tried again at 11:40am in case they're just behind schedule but still didn't work. Too bad as we have dined several times at their restaurant and love their food and service there. Hope they get their schedules worked out soon! Would not recommend depending on this as your lunch.

The wait for the food isn't very long at all! I've gone twice now and haven't been disappointed. The smell of the al pastor being cooked on a spit and sliced right next to the line is amazing. Enough to lure you in a couple blocks away. I've gotten the Quesadilla Hawaiana and al pastor tacos so far. The flavor of the al pastor is very smoky and savory, which pairs well with the sweet pineapple that comes with it! I think the sweetness and savoriness has a close to perfect balance. I was very satisfied with the amount of meat they put on both the quesadilla and taco. I also got half horchata and half fresa which was bomb! They also have a self serve salsa + veggie garnishes that includes bags and salsa contrainers for to-go. It included 2 different salsa verdes (which I believe they might've been a raw and roasted tomatillo salsa), salsa roja, and a spicy (maybe habanero) salsa. Plenty of veggies to pack as well, like cucumber, pickled veggies, lime, and onion & cilantro. There's a few outdoor tables with seating next to the salsa bar aswell. Will be one of my go-to places for mexican food now.

I ordered the kabuli pulao and a Coke for pickup through DoorDash, planning a tidy lunch to enjoy near the bay once I got off work. When I arrived at the food truck, the gentleman working there unfortunately informed me that the items I had just ordered were sold out. He kindly suggested an alternative of tikka kabob, which I gladly accepted. The tikka kabob was tasty and well-seasoned, delivering a satisfying depth of flavor with each bite. The rice was fragrant with softly shredded carrots and raisins, adding subtle sweetness and texture that complemented the smoky kabob nicely. A generous addition on top of my order were complimentary Watani fries, drizzled with a sauce reminiscent of a tangy chimichurri. The food truck itself sits in the same lot as the mosque in Burlingame, which is a convenient spot to park. It's also just a couple of blocks away from the bay shore as well, making the entire experience easy to fit into a pleasant outing for lunch by the water: While I initially sought kabuli pulao, the recommended tikka kabob turned out to be a great alternative. The flavors were strong, the rice provided a nice counterpoint, and the chimichurri-like sauce on the fries was a standout touch. Service was friendly and kind. Definitely open to trying the original kabuli pulao on a future trip, but I'd gladly rely on the team's thoughtful substitutions again. Overall, this place was lovely and definitely will return again.

Generous with well-seasoned meat, fresh onions, cilantro, and served with cucumber slices, lime, and salsa on the side. The flavor hit the mark. It was fast and convenient. However, the experience really highlights the classic food truck trade-offs when comparing trucks to brick-and-mortar sit-down places. At $4.39 per taco out the door, the prices align closely with what you would pay at a full sit-down restaurant. While you get convenience here, you don't get the amenities (seating, climate control, water, restrooms, or a table) that come with a physical restaurant at similar price points. While ordering is quick and easy, there is nowhere to sit down and enjoy your food, nor is there a sink or restroom to wash your hands before or after eating. If you are looking for a quick, good taco to grab on the go, this works. Just bring wet wipes, plan to eat in your car or somewhere else. For those reasons, I prefer a brick and mortar, especially when the food cost the same, but I needed a fix and this was a good alternative.

Not terrible pricing. Suadero taco 2/5 The suadero was slight dry and not that tender but still had ok flavor. Wouldn't get it again. Al pastor 3.5/5 Pretty decently flavored Al pastor. I wish there was a bit more char and that the pineapple was grilled. But I'd get it again. Carne asada burrito 4/5 Solid burrito. Carne asada was def my favorite meat. Juicy and tasty. The burrito had all the usual fixings and I devoured it. Of note, the green salsa has a kick so not as mild as tomatillo usually is. Overall, I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area as it's one of the best Mexican spots around! Need to try the guacamole next time.
