I was grateful since I was on my way to work. I ordered 2 corn and 1 chicken. I appreciated that they asked before putting the chicken in the same bag. Ive been to others where they just threw everything together. They do accept card which is nice to know when I'm starving and do not have cash. I definitely will be back for more tamales. The green chili and chicken was so good. The corn was delicious too. It so hard finding good corn tamales. If your in the area definitely give these guys a try.

    Honestly it's about a 4.5 - and only because they don't have any refried beans as a side. For me…read morethe side dishes really accentuate the food, but if you're looking for tacos, this is one of the best! The meat is juicy and tasty. The tortillas are homemade. And the portions are bigger than most places that serve street tacos. I wish I could review more than the tacos and maybe one day I will, but the tacos are SO good, it's hard not to order them over and over. FOOD: Tacos!!! Homemade tortillas!!! I'm a sucker for a good homemade tortilla and these are GOOD. But more than that the selection of meats are tasty. The chicken was the weakest of them, but even that was good. It's just the al pastor was GREAT and the carne asada oh so tasty. SERVICE: Terrific. Packaged well, service is friendly and helpful, portions are nicely sized, and you will definitely go home happy. They make everything to order so it does take a little bit of time, but still wonderfully good. COST: Very reasonable for what you get. Very reasonable.

I have only tried their quesabirria special and it keeps me coming back. You get these gooey cheesy tacos and all these toppings, plus consommé, which is super tasty, and a free drink for all of $10. The lady is so nice and the wait is not long. This truck is now one of my go to's spots. Even though they are right on the street the cars passing by its not even loud or dusty, people even stop on the street to pick up or you see people in their cars enjoying the consommé.

    A great taco spot for dinner. The opened dining area is…read moregreat for groups and gathering. I ordered from the truck, then went into the store to collect my drink, and then came back out to sit in the dining area, where I also collected any sauces I wanted. Definitely need to work for your meal and get your steps in. The condiments and sauces are in a cart with plastic cups with lids provided. There weren't that many options of sauces when I ate here but it was fine. The birrias and lengua tacos were so good. All the tacos came with two small tortillas to hold in the heaping amount of meat. The horchata here is had more cream than I'm used to. Like more milk was added or something, not enough spices or flavors added in IMO. Ordering was easy, I felt rushed, but it was the waiting to hear my number that was difficult. Listening for the number in the dining area while the music was blasting was difficult, so it's better to wait by the truck. Parking is limited but there are always cars coming and going so if you can wait a little, a spot will open up.

    quiero um MAS TACOS!!! uhh muy bien...mamacita??? forgive my spanish i quite like these tacos they…read moreare consistently great and nice. not bad pricing and generous portions! parking is difficult to find since its in an auto shop so you can smell the wonderful meats along with a subtle strand of wd40. yum! i snort transmission oil like a rabid dog service is quick and nice. they have a big menu but i just tried their tacos. they come with lemons instead of limes WOW what a crime but in this era of inflation i get it. carnitas are pretty good! a tad oily but the natural flavor is good and tender 8/10 tripa is tender, not as crispy as i'd hoped but good flavor 8/10 i like the onions on top and all the salsas which are tangy. they aren't too spicy at least for my taste. WELL it's up to your own judgement; refer to my transmission oil inhaling and decide for yourself how spicy is their spicy. overall muy bien te amo tacos los tres reyes

    Ambience (5/5) - Pinoy Karaoke + the smell of Ihaw, what else could you ask for? Beer, siguro sunod…read morena yan hahahaha. Food(6/5) - Any Filipino will tell you, it doesnt matter if Ate is in South SF, San Jose, and now Hayward, people WILL drive to eat her food. Isaw, Pares, Sisig, the Elusive Empanada na palaging paubos na, pati yung Inasal masarap walangya. Amazing food, this is coming from someone born and raised in the PH. Best Pinoy food in the Bay! Owner (10/5) - Nako pag may nakita kang palibot libot na sexy, alam mo na si ate yun. Jokes aside, ate actually is at her location all the time, mapafood truck pa or Brick and Mortar na. Very humble, and I cannot be more happy for her, she gets to take her shot at a permanent location now! tl;dr - Pumunta ka nalang, you wont regret it.

    Saw on my social media feed about this place and realized it was the same location as Toto's grill…read morewhich closed many years ago. Was excited to find out another Filipino business taking over. I've had my fair share of tusok-tusok experiences in California and I mean it when I say that I am happy this place opened up. I think prices are pretty fair for a bbq stick in the Bay Area. They carry pork bbq, hot dogs, intestine, kwek-kwek, bettamax, pig ears, etc! Although I wish they had fishball or squid ball for even more variety but thats ok. They provide a marinade to brush on while you grill your own BBQ and provide vinegar and another sweet sauce for you to dip it in post-grilling. Overall, the flavor is really good and you can't really go wrong. They carry other items on the menu in which they serve to you such as sisig, pares, siaomai, empanada (available weekends only), lumpia, melon juice, etc. And yes they have rice! I wish I took pictures of the food we ordered but the kids got to it first while we were bbqing. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't too crowded but they still kept the party going with karaoke and music. I could imagine the place being full on weekends. The parking could also get tricky in that area if full too. They take cash, Zelle, and card (with surcharge). The grill is located inside in the center of the restaurant so it gets pretty smoky inside even with all the doors open and vents running. So expect to smell like delicious bbq coming out lol.

Usually I'm here for the ceviche or aguachile but i was in the mood for tacos on this gloomy Tuesday and let me tell you they were everything I expected and more. From the crispy taco shell to the plethora of sauces. I also want to point out how fast my order came out! I came during my lunch hour and Pepe even suggested for me to order ahead next time (very much appreciated) but it wasn't needed because I had time to order my food, have it given to me & still drove back to work and had time to enjoy it. I will definitely keep coming back and recommending my friends and family to this small business!!

There were a bunch of steps which the waitress helped me with when ordering. It's a decent sized restaurant with some parking spots in the front. I will say though the pricing on the food was a bit steep for that it was. Considering that, I think I would try to make it at home for half the price if I'm on a budget. The total turned out to be $50 dollars with only one dish, including tax and tip. The dish itself was nothing crazy, the flavor was there but considering the hype I think I was a little underwhelmed.

    I was excited to see Shrimp'n Ain't Easy back for Gordon Biersch Night Markets for Summer 2026…read more Their Chop Cheese and Cheesesteak are still my favorite menu items, with juicy shrimp and crispy meat in each bite. Sometimes they provide green tomatillo sauce on top of the traditional orange sauce, which is great for cutting through the grease and cheese as it's tangy and sweet. We tried the Magnolia Chop for the first time and while this was great too, the hot link makes everything slightly saltier than I'm used to and is much more heavy and filling. I'll stick with the cheesesteak or chop cheese next time but will try more of their menu items going forward. Food arrives quickly even during the crowds and long lines at the night market. I've never waited more than 35 minutes combined for both the line to order and being called for our number to pick up our food.

    Really insanely tasty and decadent seafood tacos, hard to believe it's from a food truck…read more I just tried their Crab Taco and it's my favorite item now. Very generous with the crab and huge succulent shrimp. Super cheesy too. I'm actually glad it's not also vampiro style. Whatever you order, be ready for the cheese, because they are super loaded, and luckily I love both cheese and seafood. For the quality and generosity you get, these are well worth the price (Crab - $10, Vampiro - $8), and I was quite full after these two. Very fast service too, even during busy afternoons.
