    Chicken super burrito. No rice. Shredded chicken always juicy.
    Coco L.

    The gentleman here are very handsome and very nice. Always nice and quick and the burritos always wrapped perfectly. People should definitely tip more because it boosts morale. Sitting outside is nice especially when it's hot. If not you can always be in your car with the air conditioning. The biggest burritos in Vallejo La Jolla has their huge La Jolla burrito. I just got the regular super burrito and I'm very impressed. I'll see you guys again soon.

    Steak and shrimp super burrito!! So good the flavor of the steak and shrimp along with the rice beans onions and cilantro

    The Food is delicious, the service is great . Always greeted with a smile love the customer service here ! Thank you!

    Worst customer service ever!!! Would NOT RECOMMEND!!! they charge your card extra even after you spend more than 20 dollars. You order a super burrito and they ONLY give you two sauces for it. Then say they will have to charge your card again for more sauces, plus the extra charge to run your card. I would NOT do business with the truck ever again!

    This taco truck is open until 1am! Past 12 midnight and 3rd in line. It is located in a parking lot. We were amazed by the super burrito. It tastes good, reasonably priced as well.

    Five Stars across the board. Found out about this place when I was finished at a bar and ask somebody where should I go to get burritos and unanimously this is what was recommended. I love that they have specials every day and you don't have to tell them about the specials. They actually know what the specials are so they give you that discounted price you don't have to tell them later hey, what about your special because some food trucks will do that and it's a bit annoying I'm not gonna lie. The food. Here is awesome. The burritos are gigantic for the prices. We recommend getting a super burrito because it's only like two dollars more and you get so much extra stuff in it. I'm posting a recent photo because the photos that I found on here say they're like eight dollars and that is so not even the case there not that much more but hey check out for the most current photos . If you're looking for a friendly people really good food no nonsense. This is where you wanna come.

    I haven't been to this spot in a minute and I wanted a burrito so here I am. I came in and ordered their legendary La Joya Super Burrito which is $20, $23 if you get a premium meat. When I used to go here in high school, I remember the huge super burritos only being $7 lol, but I guess inflation had to hit sometime lol. Still regardless, the food here hasn't experienced a drop off in quality especially the burrito. The La Joya super burrito is as long as my forearm lol. It's perfect for 2 people or you can save it for a lunch and dinner. So you're still getting a bang for your buck. The truck is in a small alleyway with limited parking availability, but surprisingly this place wasn't busy when I came. Try it out if you like. :)

    Salad with carne asada
    Kristine L.

    Got into Vallejo pretty late and there weren't many places open. We had a really heavy fried lunch so I really needed something lighter. Saw that this taco truck offered a salad with option to add meat and my bf always loves a quesadilla so we came here. There was a good amount of parking spots available and easy to spot. They are cash only so FYI. I ordered the Joya salad and added carne asada plus an Al pastor and chicken taco. My bf got the carne asada quesadilla and a pastor taco. I was curious about the cabeza and asked the guy taking orders if it was fatty and he was honest that it could be. He was super friendly and accommodating with our order. It took about 10 minutes for our order to be ready and they made sure to ask what salsas we wanted and also included 2 small bags of tortilla chips which was nice. The salad was pretty good and big portion with decent amount of carne asada and avocado. Very good with the verde salsa for me, healthyish option. The tacos were also pretty good, not the best I've ever had being from LA but for the area done well. I had a bite of quesadilla but found it out way too greasy. Wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back but if I find myself in the area will definitely come by for the options and portions at a good price.

My favorite was their chicken tinga, which reminded me of the chicken burritos I used to get back in my hometown across the bridge. I immediately told myself I'd have to come back and order a chicken tinga burrito. A few weeks later, I finally returned on a Sunday while they were serving their World Cup Sunday brunch. I ordered a chicken tinga super burrito and a California burrito to take home. I was really excited to dig in, but when I opened the bag, the "super" burrito looked more like a regular burrito. The flavors were still great, but the filling was disappointing. There was barely any chicken or sour cream, and I had to eat more than halfway through before I finally got a decent balance of meat, rice, and beans. I even had to add my own sour cream because there was so little inside. As for the California burrito, it was just okay. The fries were stale, and there wasn't enough sour cream or guacamole, which made the burrito pretty dry. It honestly reminded me more of a breakfast burrito than a California burrito, and I wasn't a fan. Overall, the flavors are definitely there, and it's clear the food has potential. However, the portions felt skimpy for the price, making the burritos feel overpriced. I'll give Sol y Sazon another chance because I know they're capable of making delicious food, but if my next experience is like this one, they'll likely lose me as a customer.

The line was considerably long around 7:30 p.m. so it took a while for us to order and receive our food. I like that the tacos here are single tortilla -- as opposed to double tortillas, so the filling to tortilla ratio feels a lot more balanced. For both tacos, the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Although a bunch of sauces and garnishes are provided, the taco was good enough on its own. Of the sauces we received, my favorites to add was a squeeze of lime and the red sauce, which had a nice smokey Chipotle flavor and wasn't overly spicy. My friend ordered a quesadilla and it was absolutely massive! I definitely would only recommending ordering a quesadilla if you're sharing it, or if you're coming with a massive appetite. Overall, Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño was a nice gem we randomly stumbled upon while routing to In-N-Out for burgers.

I lived in San Diego and I've had a hard time finding good pastor since I moved back. Freshly sliced with slice of pineapple was perfect! They have all the fixings in bins with tongs for you to pack in sandwich bags they have available. Only thing is, it seems like kind of a roll of the dice from a food safety standpoint, but hey, "street" tacos aMiRiTe? Haha. Overall fast service, great tacos. Especially for the price of $4/taco. I'd give it five stars but had to knock it down for the food safety aspect.

We order ahead because we're on a tight schedule -- I'm a busy, involved parent getting him to the gym after school. A few weeks back, despite ordering plain chicken, his plate came out with pico de gallo. He won't eat it that way. I didn't have time to drive back, so I let it go. The following week, we ordered in person and the waitress assured me she double-checked the order. My son's meal came out correctly -- but my plate was made plain instead of how I ordered it. Not a big deal. I can eat it. I called simply to let them know there was a mix-up -- not demanding anything, not asking for free food. What I wasn't prepared for was being called a liar. I was told the order was made correctly and that if I wanted it fixed I had to bring everything back immediately -- including the salsas. I explained we were on a time schedule for my son's gym session. Instead of understanding, I was told my "games won't fly" there and that I was being a "Karen" looking for free food. My son was hungry and upset during the call. She heard him. We drove back anyway. I placed the plate on the counter, and once she saw it, the mistake was obvious. Only then did she offer to remake it. At that point it wasn't about the food -- it was about being accused of lying and being publicly disrespected in front of my child. Weeks later, I noticed the order was never refunded. I had to dispute the charge with American Express to get my money back. I've supported this restaurant for years. This wasn't about a wrong plate -- mistakes happen. It was about how we were treated when trying to resolve it. I can't return after being called dishonest and a beggar over a simple order issue. He sido cliente de este restaurante por años. Normalmente voy los jueves después de la escuela porque mi hijo siempre pide pollo simple con papas. Ordenamos por adelantado porque tenemos poco tiempo -- soy un padre involucrado y después lo llevo al gimnasio. Hace unas semanas, pedimos el pollo simple y salió con pico de gallo. Mi hijo no lo come así. No tuve tiempo de regresar y lo dejé pasar. A la semana siguiente hicimos el pedido en persona para evitar otro error. La mesera aseguró que revisó la orden dos veces. El plato de mi hijo salió correcto... pero el mío salió mal. No era el fin del mundo. Yo me lo podía comer. Llamé solo para avisar que había un error, no para pedir comida gratis. No estaba preparado para que me llamaran mentiroso. Me dijeron que la orden estaba correcta y que si quería que la arreglaran tenía que regresar de inmediato con todo, hasta las salsas. Expliqué que teníamos que ir al gimnasio. La respuesta fue que mis "juegos no funcionaban ahí" y que estaba siendo un "Karen" buscando comida gratis. Mi hijo estaba llorando de hambre mientras escuchaba todo. Aun así regresamos. Puse el plato sobre el mostrador. Cuando lo vieron, quedó claro que el error era real. En ese momento ofrecieron rehacerlo. Ya no importaba. No era la comida. Era el respeto. Semanas después noté que nunca hicieron el reembolso. Tuve que llamar a American Express para disputar el cargo y recuperar mi dinero. Un error en una orden es humano. Acusar a un cliente fiel de mentiroso y de mendigar comida no lo es. Perdieron mucho más que el valor de un plato esa noche.

My waiter was really friendly and welcoming. He checked on me right away, asked if I knew what I wanted to order, and brought out water and chips. The customer service throughout my visit was excellent. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with TVs all around, a full bar, and outdoor seating. I chose a corner table where I could watch one of the soccer games on TV, which made for a relaxing lunch. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. The salsa had nice flavor without being overly spicy. I ordered the steak quesadilla plate, which came with refried beans, Spanish rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, and lettuce. My food arrived in about 10-15 minutes. The best thing on the plate was the refried beans. They were easily my favorite part of the meal. They were flavorful, creamy. The Spanish rice was also tasty. The pico de gallo was served over shredded lettuce, which was fine, although I would have preferred it on the side. The sour cream came in a small cup, which wasn't my favorite, i'm not sure if it was buttery sour cream, but it just didn't taste right. The guacamole might've been my second favorite thing on the plate.!! The steak quesadilla itself was good, but it didn't quite wow me like a quesadilla usually does. It was generously filled with steak, but I wish it had more cheese. I like my quesadillas to have a perfect balance of melted cheese and meat, and this one leaned much heavier on the steak. Even so, the steak had good flavor, and I still enjoyed the meal overall. The price was reasonable too. I believe everything came to just under $20, which felt like a good value. Before I left, they gave me a piece of candy with the receipt, which was a small but thoughtful touch that I appreciated. As I was walking out, I noticed they have different daily specials posted outside. I hadn't seen them before coming in, so now I definitely have another reason to come back and try something different. Overall, I had a great first experience. The friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, good value, and delicious refried beans made this an enjoyable visit. I'll definitely be back to check out those daily specials.
