    Tacos
    Gary J.

    La Joya Taco Truck has been on my radar for years. I finally tried it for the first time last year, and since then it has become one of my go-to taco trucks in Vallejo. The food is very, very good, the prices are reasonable, and the portions you get are worth it. It's kind of hard to miss when driving by, but they also have a small sign near the street letting you know they're there. I had known about this taco truck for years but never stopped until last year, and now I wish I had gone sooner. I ordered a super burrito and a few tacos. One thing I really like is that they actually list the length of their burritos on the menu. That's a nice touch because sometimes you order a "super burrito" somewhere else and end up with something small. Here, you know exactly what you're getting. Out of all the taco trucks in Vallejo, this is easily one of my top three burrito trucks. I try not to burn myself out eating at the same place too often, so I like switching between favorites, and this is definitely one I keep coming back to. I almost always get the steak burrito. One thing I really love is the pico de gallo they use. They use red onions, which gives it a nice touch, and every time I get it, I can really taste the cilantro in the pico de gallo throughout the burrito. The steak and chicken street tacos were also really good but the burrito is always my favorite! Parking is never an issue because they share a parking lot with an auto body shop during off-hours, so there's usually plenty of space. They also have cones to help guide cars entering and exiting the lot. When your food is ready, they call your order number over the microphone/intercom system, then ask if you want red or green sauce and chips. Overall, I've always had a great experience here. If you're in Vallejo and looking for a good taco truck, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    Food truck tucked away but large parking lot. Was looking for a place with burrito and found this place. They have a super burrito that's 14 inches but I just got the regular. Comes with chips and salsa. The carne asada burrito was pretty filled and on the wetter side from the beans. The carne asada was on the saltier side. Decently priced. The grilled onions and jalapeños gave it a nice flavor.

    4+ taco truck in the Vallejo area that opens on the late side. I was in the area for work and couldn't decide what I wanted for dinner and I didn't know the area. I waited so long that most of the places is closed up. Luckily, this place was open late which is great. Came here and ordered a few tacos. Ordering was easy and the folks were chill and friendly. The prices were great as well. Ate my tacos in the car and headed back to the hotel I was staying at.

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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Do they only accept cash?

    They accept Apple Pay, credit cards, debit cards and cash. They do charge a small fee for using cards/Apple Pay though.

    Are they really open until midnight?

You'll find it at the ultimate Taqueria in Vallejo when you visit La Piñata Taqueria.

In 2026, this might be the ultimate deal you will come across without the requirement of a coupon. Parking is readily available, and you'll notice there's always people waiting for food: a sign the food is worth coming for. My food came with a small complimentary side of pickled carrots and peppers, some onions, two salsas, and a small bag of chips. This really truly is the best in Vallejo.

I used to come here after school exams for burritos and tacos. You can't go wrong with either, but I highly recommend the suadero, their rose meat. It is easily the best thing on the menu. The burritos used to be about 12 dollars and are now around 16, but the quality and portion still make it worth it. I recently came back after about a year and it tasted exactly the same. Their service is always quick despite the long line of people there. Their complimentary pickled onions, grilled onions, and carrots along with their homemade sauces really take the burritos and tacos to another level. They have added more seating so you can eat there fresh and hot. Parking is still tight with only a few spots nearby, but it is worth it for the food.

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. Between the two, I would certainly save my stomach space for tacos from Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño next time.

I've tried their food…read moretruck across from Nations plenty of times in the past and have always really enjoyed their food, so I was excited to check out their new location--especially since it's closer to my house too! I came in around 4pm during their week-long $2 taco special, so it was pretty busy. The lobby is a bit small, but they have a decent-sized parking lot along with street parking. They also have an outdoor eating area with a few benches and a covered top, which I really like! Like I mentioned, the lobby is on the smaller side, but I think it works perfectly for their walk-up-and-order style of service. The decor is simple but still has a fun and lively feel to it. Their menu has a good variety, just like their food truck--and maybe even more? I could be wrong. LOL. The staff was super nice, and they seemed pretty quick with getting everyone's orders out, especially considering how busy they were. The one thing I think they could improve is adding some type of shade or pull-down window covering to block out the sun, and maybe some A/C if they don't already have it. The sun was BEAMING directly into the lobby, and since the space is already pretty small, it got quite hot inside while we waited to order and for our food to come out. Definitely something that would make waiting inside a lot more comfortable, especially on warmer days. Overall, the food was good per usual, and I'm happy to see Taqueria El Pelayo now has a brick-and-mortar location! I definitely look forward to coming back for more good eats.

We both had long days at work so he stopped by on his way home to grab dinner. Recently my go-to has been their crunchy asada tacos so he grabbed me two of them, and confirmed that he wanted everything on them (cheese, onion and cilantro). When he got home we saw that my tacos were plain- not what he ordered. He called them to let them know of the issue and they told him that he could get drive the 15 minutes back to the truck and pick up sides of onion and cilantro. Bringing the tacos that they messed up on and getting it replaced with a fresh correct order was not an option. THEY didn't make the tacos as advertised/ordered, and their solution to fixing the error THAT THEY MADE was for the customer to drive back to the truck to get the toppings that THEY forgot. After using gas and spending time going back to the truck for the toppings, they then expected us drive back home and sprinkle them on cold old tacos. Keep in mind that these tacos are six dollars each. To add more insult to injury they cut costs by skimping on the cheese. This is a dish that I've ordered quite a few times so I know how it usually looks. This time around it looks like they sprinkled it on the corner of one of the tacos to give that melted/crusty cheese look, but there was barely any inside. He said there were people working that he hadn't seen there before so I'm not sure if that's what's contributing to the piss poor service, but whatever the case the solution that they gave for an error that they made is ridiculous.
