Stopped by this solid taco truck tonight on the corner of Payne & Winchester, right by the Safeway parking lot. They have a few outdoor tables for seating along with some colorful old-school stools while you wait, which adds a nice bit of character. It was surprisingly busy for a Sunday night, but the line moved efficiently and I had my food about 10 minutes after ordering. They also make it easy to pay, accepting cash, card, and Zelle. I ordered the lengua, cabeza, and tripa tacos for $10 even, which is an excellent value. The tacos were a good size with corn tortillas and a ton of cilantro and onions. Each meat had a great texture, with the cabeza being especially tender and flavorful. They offer three different salsas, and the salsa roja was my favorite and had the best balance of flavor and heat without overpowering the tacos. Overall, this is a great late-night taco spot with fair prices, quick service, and quality food. I wouldn't quite call it the best tacos I've ever had, but it's absolutely a place I'll be coming back to regularly whenever the craving hits. 4/5 read more

They have these amazing potato tacos!!!!! The green salsa is not spicy but pairs well with the potato tacos.

Update!!! Los Pambazos updated their menu! The new menu is FIRE. I am obsessed with the asada fries, the flautas, and the California burrito! My new favorite meat is chicken tinga, it has so much flavor. My bf always gets the quesadilla de maiz and swears by it. We are here multiple times weekly... I'm not joking... the food is that good. Call ahead and pick up at the truck if you don't want to wait. Although the vibe at the truck makes the wait short and the music is great. read more

Came here after everything else was closed on a Saturday night around midnight. In a quiet nice location next to Safeway, so plenty of parking. The service was quick and easy and the person taking the order was super kind! They also accept apple pay!! I ordered the carne asada torta, which I give an 8/10. If there was a little more mayo and less beans, it would've been so much better. But I didn't mind. It was still super yummy! I would def come back. read more

Seen this place driving by and have been wanting to try for forever. I tried the pambazo and the milanesa torta. The pambazo is potatoes, chorizo, lettuce, sour cream and cheese on a bread that's been soaked in a sauce (not spicy) and grilled slightly. I have never had one before and it was really good! The chorizo was very flavorful and the bread wasn't overpowering. The torta had beans, meat, onions, and some sort of light sauce. The torta was good but kinda small compared to the usual size of one. It was pretty busy, it took a little while to get our food but there was a good amount of seating available. Overall would comeback again, especially to try more of the menu. read more

I love Los pambazos, best place to get dinner even late night. They have the best service and nicest cooks and the people who take your order are very kind. They are usually pretty quick and have everything coming out hot and fresh, if you've never been here I'd recommend the CARNE ASADA FRIES. They are seasoned to perfection and everything taste amazing read more

The food is very good. The people are lovely. The food is ready on time. I told the main lady who works there, that if I enjoy the food, I'll be back. She was right and her confidence spoke volumes. This had become my default food stop at night if I want a quality, delicious meal after 9pm. read more

One of my go to Mexican food trucks in the area. You have to get the Pambazo (given that's the name of the place). They are delicious! The woman who works there is also the sweetest. read more

Great late night food truck. Great people. Nice menu of Mexican street food. Take time to find them.

Honestly, this was a letdown. The taste was off-putting, the ingredients seemed subpar, and the portion size was laughably small. Definitely wouldn't recommend - not worth the money. read more

My first time having a Pambazos which they described as a wet sandwich. It was great... very flavorful! The staff was very nice and courteous. I also had a great conversation while I was waiting with someone who is originally from Mexico City who was telling me about life there. Hope to go visit when Covid is in the rear view mirror! read more

Me and my girlfriend tried to go there a few months ago and realized that the city has shut them down due to health code violations as 12/28/23. Avoid this food truck at all costs! It doesn't seem like their cleanliness was up to par according to the city! Take your money elsewhere! read more

Pambazo (Pam-Bah-So), aka torta dipped in red chilli sauce then griddle fried for a crunchy outside. I got it with Al Pastor. Slightly messy, but totally worth it. Also got a burrito with chorizo to round it out. A return trip is in order to try out the Champion Burrito and Torta Cubana. Only in San Jose, would you find a Mexican taco truck, in the parking lot of an Ethiopian market, next door to an American BBQ restaurant. read more

Whooooa, what is this place! Well it's a truck tucked away on Winchester at the time. I didn't think I'd be able to try new Mexican food around here! But their pambazo was sooo unique! It's definitely the thing to get if you're trying out the place the first time. Didn't understand half of the menu and the lady was so nice and helpful! Even gave us some quesadilla to try! If you want something healthy, the alambres is definitely the go to, didn't know what it was at the time but it's basically a stir fry of steak meat, mushrooms, and bell peppers. 100% would come back and bring more friends! read more

I was running errands and got hungry so I stopped here and this was my experience... - Nearly no designated parking. If there was I didn't see it. - service was quick and friendly - pambazo wasn't what I expected but then again I never had one before. Didn't have too much flavor in my opinion. Maybe if it had chorizo in it. Overall, not too impressed but it was a good meal at the time. read more

The birria is extremely good. Asked the proprietor about it, he said they originally didn't have it on the their menu. He felt that all the trucks carry birria these days, and he wanted to serve something different. But people kept asking, so he called up his grandma and got the recipe. With birria that good, I don't think there was any need for concern. read more

This evening I stumbled upon a food truck parked next to South Winchester BBQ due to most eateries being closed early to SJ's curfew ordinance. I'm glad I did as I encountered friendly service to accompany a tasty meal. My choices were the carne asada torta (no frijoles) and shredded chicken quesadilla. Following a fellow yelper's advice, I took the chipotle sauce with the torta. The torta hit the spot but I'd much rather speak about their shredded chicken as I usually shy away from this meat as it's typically overly dry and/or bland at most places. This place is the exception as it was moist and flavorful due to the tomatoes and cilantro it's marinated/cooked with. In addition to the quality of food, it must be mentioned that this place offers fantastic value as well. Two tortas, a quesadilla and two sodas came out to be $19 for me. It's not too often you can feed two people for under $20 these days. An unprecedented find during unprecedented times. read more

the dudes that run this spot are hella cool. good music, even for this gringo. but really the food is HELLA good. born and raised east san jo, but these guys on winchester know what they're doing. and any mexican spot that also makes hongos for their burritos and quesadillas should get extra consideration. give them your money if you want some bomb a$$ mexican food. read more

This is my favorite spot!! Best authentic Mexican food cuisine. I always get the Carne asada chipotle torta, a must try!!

I decided to help start their yelp page for them. This food truck is owned by a husband and wife, very nice and friendly people! When asked why they didn't have a yelp page, he said that they are so busy and didn't have time to start one up. So here it is people! I always drive pass the food truck when going home. You can see the food truck (has bright flashing and changing neon lights) off Winchester (next to the Tana market) in the parking lot. I decided to stop by one night and got a large order of the chicken quesadilla with everything (lettuce, tomatoes, onion, peppers, cilantro) The food is excellent The only bad thing is they don't really have a set hour they open/close. Sometimes I see them there at 7pm other times at 8...8:30pm but they stay open until 2am sometimes. It all just depend on the amount of customers. So call before you go there! read more

Tacos were really good. Carnitas were my favorite. Quick service. They have a small eating area as well

Once again in my neutral colors looking for a late night mex fix in Campbell. Yelp led me here. Today, I'm asking myself why I ordered a buritto and not a torta. Any case, burrito with asada was superb. Large crowd at 11pm and the wait was 15 minutes. 9 bucks gets you too much food. Friendly service. Park in South Winchester BBQ lot or in Baskin Robbins lot. No parking on Winchester. read more

We were super excited to try out these pambazos. We had read reviews and everything seemed great. It all started when we got off they took our order and took 30-35 minutes for just 3 pambazos I mean.... they were even burnt. They were not as big as I thought and they cost $8 each!!! I've definitely had better and it was not worth the price... read more

Excellent service. Wait can be quite long, so I recommend ordering ahead. If they can't respond to your call, they usually call you back.

One of the BEST trucks around! Fantastic customer service, they recommended I get something similar to what I ordered because it was better and it did NOT disappoint. Burritos on point too. Great food, thanks guys! read more

Today I was excited to try out this spot because I seen they had so many good reviews but once I seen an order of rice I got and it was burnt I was really disappointed and I got some asada tacos and it's not to hate or anything the meat had a disgusting taste and I decided to get some pambazos they where burnt and they didn't look the same as the picture looked the bread wasn't the same as the picture and this is not a comment to throw bad shame at you guys it's for you guys to do better on your food and this is a picture of the rice I got today read more
