One of our favorite food trucks! Met them at Wild Barrel and have followed them to many of their locations. Their catering is awesome and customizable. We have ordered multiple times and everyone loves the food. Everything is fresh and flavorful. Great staff and very accommodating. read more

A taco truck that out performs many taco shops. A really good California Burrito. El Habanero makes a burrito just the way I like. They cook the tortilla just a little bit longer, the asada was a little crispier and the friies weren't the typical generic frozen ones. Tip - El Habanero works the Wild Barrel site often.. They even have a beeper system where you don't have to hover around the truck until your order is ready. read more

This food truck comes around my place at least once a week. So I thought I'd finally try it. Pretty expensive, paid $30.00 for 2 burritos. The burritos are a pretty good size and they have a lot on the menu to choose from. The salsa is pretty good too. Staff is friendly. Check them out,! read more

Solid Mexican food. The food is really good and you get plenty of it. We went all shrimp: burrito and quesadilla. Both were very good. The burrito is a big, big boy. This truck makes the rounds at a number of breweries in North County. We caught them outside Wild Barrel which they frequent often. Large menu and friendly employees , too. read more

We have so far only eaten El Habanero while chugging brews at Belching Beaver's Oceanside tap room. Since with COVID restrictions, you need to order food in order to buy and drink beers here, we almost always come when the taco truck is here. Compared to the other vendors (hot dogs, gyros, BBQ, etc), you can't go wrong with a good taco. El Habanero has a variety of other options too, and they include two sauces with every plate (green mild and spicy habanero). The nachos and carne asada fries come with heaping portions so be sure to share your food with your buddy! read more

Great folks & spicy fare. I can't eat the hot stuff anymore, but for those who can I definitely recommend these folks. They have a truck that comes to my apartment complex some days and their service is very quick for a small truck experience. I've tried the surf & turf burrito and the chipotle mayo is definitely spicy. My second visit I tried just a carne asada burrito but it definitely lacked a punch too. I haven't tried their salsa because I cannot tolerate hot stuff anymore but I assume it's also got hotness. The service is always with a kind smile. Great people. I look forward to trying them again soon. read more

We had the taco truck for a work function. It was awesome. Service was with a smile, and the tacos were excellent. I had the adobada, pollo, and carne. They, also, offered carnitas and birria. I just wish that I could have had a Belching Beaver with it! read more

We were very impressed with out Birria & Carnitas tacos. Both deserved 5 Stars. And the salsa was equally as impressive. read more

La Habanera Catering Sd - Amazing taco's come out of this truck. - Street Vendors Near Me - San Marcos, California

My apartment complex recently started having this food truck every Monday and this was my first time trying it and the food was really really good! I had the asada burrito and the meat is so well seasoned! It's huge too! The salsas are really good too! The guy who took my order had amazing customer service. Overall, 10/10! read more

I had the pleasure of trying El Habanero last night during the Cinco De Mayo event in Harmony Grove & WOW... Seriously, Wow. I ordered the rolled potato tacos without cheese & sour cream with 2 veggie street tacos & everything was absolutely delicious. The guacamole was soooooo spicy but also delicious so I was caught in the tango of dip or don't dip lol My friends ordered carne asada nachos, surf & turf tacos, quesadillas, & more things I don't remember (they had a big spread) & all you heard were collective "mmmm's" from everyone. Absolutely no question that we will eat here every opportunity we get!! read more

I ran into the owner of this food truck while picking up some tamale masa at a nearby tortilla factory in San Marcos. He was so personable and polite while prepping his truck that I promised to find him and give his food a try. I'm so glad I did! On Tuesdays, the truck is at Wild Barrel Brewing in San Marcos. I went for the street tacos because, hey, it's taco Tuesday, and I didn't need to bother the brewery to get to the truck. The owner was there and again was super nice. After I ordered a few of every type of taco, he recommended his surf 'n turf burrito, so I got one and eagerly escorted it home with my tacos. My expectations were pretty average since there's a lot of Mexican food out there and competing qualities. The burrito was absolutely, unequivocally wonderful! The flavors melded together seamlessly without any one overpowering another. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, still flavorful and juicy. This will become my go to burrito in the future! For tacos, I'd recommend the adobada and carne asada fillings as the most flavorful. Give this food truck a try and support a local business. You will walk away full, not too much lighter in the wallet, and feeling appreciated. read more

We pretty much chase after El Habanero on a biweekly basis (at a minimum). They're seriously so delicious you won't be disappointed and often setup at great breweries to boot. read more

Got two carne asada tacos because it was stationed outside of Wild Barrel. I don't wanna be mean but overall kinda disappointed, the meat was overly salted and made it hard to enjoy, and food usually tastes so much better with alcohol. read more

California fries were so good! The fries weren't greasy or soggy, so I appreciated that. The carne asada had a good flavor, and their habanero salsa was the best! read more

Great food truck in San Marcos! When we went here they were located at Wild Barrel Brewing, right outside their outdoor seating. The guy taking the orders was super friendly, took our orders quick, and made sure we got what we needed. My boyfriend and I got the chicken quesadilla with pico, jalapeño fries, and California burrito. Each was great and had a ton of food which was definitely worth the price. The burrito was HUGE, my boyfriend barely finished half, and the fries were so spicy it was amazing. read more

They came to the skye apartment today and I had to give them a try! Wow they did not disappoint! I tried the birria burrito and it was so good. read more

I tried the carne asada street tacos (added guac) and my husband got the birria tacos. We both agreed these were so good! Would recommend.

I really enjoyed their asada tacos but unfortunately, my stomach felt horrible after the last two times I ate them. Something must be in the meat that makes me feel incredibly bloated afterwards. read more

Our community hired Erick and his team to deliver over 400 dinner plates over a 3 hour span. Erick was incredibly easy and professional to work with, accommodating, prompt in reply, would actually talk via phone and not just through email (a rarity these days) and was fairly priced. He was on time, prepared and single handedly cooked dinner for an entire neighborhood. His food was very good, especially the tortillas. I highly recommend El Habanero Street Tacos for your event or catering. Thank you Erick for bringing some joy and filling our stomachs! read more

Super delicious food!! Erick came to our neighborhood and made food for all of us. (Our neighborhood is not small!) Our family had all different types of tacos and we loved every bite. I especially loved that the vegetarian tacos had French fries in them! Game changer and our 7 year old vegetarian loved them too! The rice and beans were fantastic as well. Highly recommend. Keep up the amazing food. read more

10 star Amazing service, flavor and portion. We ordered the taco truck to feed my guests outside of San Marcos Skyzone for my daughter's bday party. Very clean and food plated very nicely and covered with foil. Best tacos ever. We got the tacos plate with rice & beans and my guests absolutely loved it!! Eric was on time, reliable and very kind. We will for sure be ordering again on our next event! read more

Bellisimo yo add more superlative adjectives here foods hot as i type and eat at the same time

Excellent Food! The best Street Tacos and Carne Asada Burritos Truly Authentic! They don't skimp and the service was great. We'll be looking for them and wish them great success with their 2nd New Food Truck coming early next year. Now all they need is a little restaurant read more

I almost never take the time to review places but my goodness were these guys worth giving a shout out to. In the last six months it felt like a lot of my favorite Mexican places went downhill in quality and up in price but these guys were both delicious and affordable. My wife got a veggie burrito and claimed it was the best she's ever had while I got the Asada burrito and was blown away. Super friendly team that take pride in what they do. I just found out they come into my neighborhood every Wednesday and they will be penciled in on my dinner schedule moving forward. Also, my daughter got the kids quesadilla and it was ridiculously good, so much that I may order one myself next time. And the churros are authentic and just perfect. If you see this truck do yourself a favor and try them out. read more

The food here is probably the most authentic and delicious I've ever had. My tacos were phenomenal. You can tell everything was as fresh as it gets. The service was super friendly and their salsa was something to die for. I would call these guys in a heartbeat to cater my next party. read more

I loved the fact that I had a shrimp taco along with Tripp's, cabeza, and lengua and they were all delicious! The cook even asked if I'd like my tripas extra crispy, which I do, and he took care of me. read more

Really fantastic service, great food, on-time arrival, and friendly. Everyone at our block party was thrilled with Eric and crew. We will definitely use them again. Thank you! read more

I had Eric cater a private event and he showed up early, was responsive and reliable. The tacos are so good and would recommend the carne asada and carnitas. I plan on using them again because they're that good and take the taco business serious! Everyone loved them. read more

In San Diego we have a ton of Mexican food to pick from. I have eaten at this food truck many times. I am super picky on cleanliness and how a food truck is ran. So many getto ones around. I have eaten the chicken tacos with red sauce. Just enough spice to kick some ass. Fresh tortillas and simple chicken with lots of flavor. My favorite off all is the chicken nachos. Homemade chips with the fixins. I have to do dairy free and they are always accomidating. You ask yourself, how can nachos be good with out sour cream or cheese??? Well these ones are and it is a rarity. Makes me feel a little normal. The man and women running the truck are very polite and never get irritated when i have to do no dairy. Much appreciated!! My only complaint...I have NO idea where they are. I have only found them at burguon brewery. They need to update their website so that i can follow them. When ya get a craving for nachos, it's the worse when u can't them. read more

We've invited them to 2 of our block parties in Canopy Grove and both times they were a huge hit! The service and food is delicious. The surf and turf burrito is LEGIT!! read more

Thank you for the delicious dinner tonight in our neighborhood! The tacos and nachos were so satisfying. Hats off to your team for preparing over 430 plates. Glad our 'hood could help support you during this challenging time! Stay safe :) read more

Everything from El Habanero Street Tacos is delicious, especially the shrimp tacos. The service is fast and friendly.

Best delicious street tacos in town. The green salsa is amazing. Taco Tuesday @ El Habanero every Tuesday.
