    I got 3 tacos - 2 regular chicken and 1 steak&shrimp - for $12. The steak and shrimp taco was the most expensive one, and for good reason. It was the most delicious one I had so far. I've tried a steak taco on a separate occasion and enjoyed it. But the steak&shrimp one is overflowing with protein, veggies and chipotle mayo sauce. It does take some time to get your food as they made each order fresh and there was only 1 person cooking on a Saturday afternoon. And 1 person taking orders. But i'd definitely come back.

    Super tacos

    Been here a number of times and have tried their super burritos and their super tacos a few times each and their super tacos are really the thing to get here. I LOVE the melted cheese they have on the tacos and make these so delicious. The super burritos are really what is bringing the score down here. It's really been hit and miss and more on the miss than anything else. I still want to come and try their birra to see how it is but whenever I'm craving tacos, this is the spot. They have some seats out in front of the truck with some shading so that's definitely nice if you want to sit and eat. Lots of parking behind the truck as well and close to the Target if you need to do some shopping while you're out.

    Was looking for a quick bite in the area and decided to give this place a try. First of all, they're grilling the meat right outside the truck and it smells so good, the aroma lingers throughout the parking lot. The truck is located in the same parking lot as at Target all the way off to the side. But they do have a tent, and benches for a nice seating area if need be. They do accept Apple Pay which is also nice. By 2pm on a Saturday, they were out of Al Pastor. So I got two carne asada and two carnita . They also do have their own version or orange sauce, but you have to ask for it, since it's not included in the Togo bags. Overall pretty good and would get again if I was in the area.

    1 carne asada, 2 fish tacos

    One of my new fav taco spots!!! Everything was excellent and really tasty. DON'T SLEEP ON THE FISH TACOS, THEY'RE BOMB!!

    Nestled between a car repair shop and Target, lies this incredible taco food truck! It's rare to find smoked marlin fish tacos in the Bay Area but they have it and they do it well. In addition, we also ordered the carnitas, shrimp and fish tacos. The carnitas were crispy and tender, while the shrimps in the shrimp tacos were juicy and seasoned perfectly. Pro tip: Be sure to ask for cheese and they'll fry it up for you, not just sprinkle it on top like most trucks do. The fried cheese makes a huge difference and is definitely worth the extra cost! Add this to your hidden gem list to try if you're looking for amazing seafood tacos in unexpected places in the Bay Area.

    I see that people have mixed reviews but my tacos were amazing! The lime and the extra jalapeños were perfect! The rice was very good and I loved the refried beans! Little tip I feel they do give more rice and beans when you have it to "eat here" instead of to go so ya just putting that out there lol! But ya definitely one of my go to places for tacos!

    Asada taco Al pastor taco Asada burrito
    Ryan C.

    Asada taco - tortilla was dry and asada followed suit Al pastor taco - tortilla was dry but the meat was better than asada Asada burrito - this was pretty ok, it also has avocado and the flavors worked well. I came on a Tuesday at 5:45pm and it wasn't busy at all. The lady was really nice and the wait time for the food was normal (10-15 min). I wouldn't get the tacos again since the tortilla + meat combination was just too dry. But I would come again to eat the burrito. The green sauce had good flavor, the red sauce tastes like nothing, and the orange sauce is a bit too mayo-y and muted in flavor. I wish the orange sauce had more stronger flavors, I think that would've been really good. But none of the sauces were spicy (neither good nor bad, just an observation). Overall.... Eh, not the worst taco truck!

    Campechano, suadero, and pescado tacos.
    Huey N.

    Mamacitas is sits in a Target parking lot and is near a bunch of shopping, so you can grab some food before running errands. The campechanos taco alone is good enough to stop by. Chorizo gives it extra flavor and texture while the suardero (the menu might say steak) provides beefy fattiness and is kind of crispy like carnitas. I also got a fish taco - it was pretty mild in flavor and was easily overshadowed by the campechanos. I recommend getting something other than the fish taco. The orange sauce feels like it is maybe based but I'm not sure. I preferred using the red salsa. Next I want to try their carnitas, asada, and adding the griddled cheese.

    Chicken and al pastor tacos
    Fred T.

    So we have driven by this taco truck more times than I can count. Our son on his ever present quest to find the best Mexican Food asked to stop and give this place a shot. While it is a truck, it never seems to go anywhere and can always be found in this location. While they have benches and the like your best bet is to go IMHO. Taco Al Pastor: the quintessential street taco. flavorful bits of freshly shaved pork, coupled with onions and cilantro, its perfect bite. On this trip it came with a chipotle crema? that was money adding smokey rich heat to the taco. Chicken Taco: Mmmmmmm same as above with perfectly cooked chicken thigh and came with a green cilanto? based sauce which was as fantastic as the crema. Burrito: I did not taste but my sons burrito looked fantastic. Decent size for the price as well. This is quite the not so hidden gem.

    (Asada tacos x2, chorizo taco, carnitas taco) orange and green sauce
    Sheryl T.

    Taco truck on the left of Target next to an auto shop in Mountain View. Really great tasting tacos! We ordered: Asada tacos - meat was good and not fatty Chorizo tacos- flavorful, these were our favorite Carnitas taco - nice and crispy and not overly dry Al Pastor tacos - these were okay Comes with orange or green salsa and lemons: Orange is a nice spicy creamy sauce Green is mildly spicy with a nice kick We would definitely come back to try more of their food!

    Smoked fish, shrimp, and regular fish
    Lexi R.

    Everything was decent. We got three tacos: shrimp, smoked fish, and regular fish. Of the three, I liked the regular fish taco the most. The shrimp only came with two shrimp so some bites were just filler ingredients. We also got a shrimp burrito. Also decent. However it is worth noting there was a small hair in it. Also bit down onto something hard, took it out, and it was the stem of the avocado.

    Quesobirria tacos

    Pretty decent taco truck, but not as good as my normal place (Paper Platez), which was closed today. Service was a bit unfriendly. Typical taco truck ambiance. Tacos were decent, but no consommé to dip, and flavors were a little more muted than I like.

    Waited 25 minutes from the time I ordered till the food was ready but it was worth the wait. Nice outdoor seating.

He loves this food truck. So I knew I had to try, especially pupusas which I haven't had in years and my coworkers said these were the best in the area. And it did not disappoint because it was so good! It was $5 per pupusa and there are three styles. I had the mixta/revuelta. I kid you not I haven't had good Latin American food since high school and it knocked me back years. It came with a generous bag of curtido, which is similar to coleslaw except the sauce was lighter and the cabbage was chunkier. The pupusas themselves were large and three made me very full. I could've just ordered two. They also had a pretty large completely filled cup of salsa roja. Service was speedy and they accept credit and debit cards too. The staff are bilingual in English and Spanish. The food truck is in the parking lot of O'Malley's, an Irish themed sports bar. I would love to eat this before or after a night out. There is a tented seating area to eat on site immediately outside or if you are going to the bar you can take your food with you. The bar doesn't serve food, so this is THE FOOD, and it's GREAT food. There is also a website where you can order online and pick it up.

    Very solid taqueria featuring some of the best pupusas in the area…read more Today I had a pupusa revuelta (cheese, chicharrón, and beans) and another with carne asada and cheese. Both are hand-made to order with fresh masa and come out so hot you're gonna want to let them sit for a minute before digging in, if you can restrain yourself. The revuelta pupusa has a soft and flavorful filling that comes together kind of like cheesy frijoles charros. It's kind of the classic pupusa filling and I think for good reason. The smooth and well-mixed filling ensure every bite has masa, each element of the filling, and ideally a healthy pile of curtido and salsa. The asada pupusa is a little bit more of a novelty, but the asada itself is solid and I like the variety of having different feelings to work with. If this is your first time here, I recommend going with the asada. My only critique of these pupusas, which is a critique of pupusas I have in general, is that they could use a little more filling, particularly around the edges where the bites can be kind of masa heavy. Pro tips: they just got kiosks for ordering and you won't see a pupusa with asada on there as an option, but you can do so if you order at the register. By default, pupusas come with a traditional thin tomato sauce that isn't spicy, but I always ask them for the salsa they bring out when you get chips instead. It's chunkier, spicier, and slightly more acidic and I think it pairs better with the pupusas. I ask for this and plenty of curtido when I order takeout from here.

There were a lot of complaints about service but no complaints about food so we decided to try it out. Ordered 4 chicharron pupusas and one carnitas taco. Just ordered the taco because I am a deep deep lover of carnitas and I wanted to try it. Under $25. The place was packed with all Latinos ... first good sign. Lots of the complaints were about timely-ness, and I say to those people, relax. Everybody was working super hard and fast, and it is just really busy at lunch. It takes a little time to get your food, but it was absolutely worth it. these might be the best pupusas I've ever had. They brought out three salsas for us, and I was partial to the green. The pupusas were chock full of cheese and chicharron to the rims. Fried perfectly. The carnitas taco was amazing! The pork was so crispy and delicious. As to the service, ours was great. The tables were all full, but a couple of guys said we could sit at their table because they had two empty seats. Thank you! A young person with bleached hair wearing a baseball cap (sorry I should've asked your name) was really attentive. He cleaned our table and brought us ice water. I can't wait to go back! I will be getting more pupusas, and my mom wants all carnitas tacos all day.

Because of timing for other errands we came at 10:30 am and they were open on time and ready. Sitting outside or inside is amazing, outside you get the crowd and the sun. Inside you get amazing interior design. My overall feedback is this is one of the rare "fancy" Mexican places that justify the price and justification. Everything is above average in taste and execution. Brunch Tacos mole: chicken mole poblano, scrambled eggs, huitlacoche, tortillas, epazote crema, fried shallots & avocado. Perfect portioning and the salad that came with it had a fantastic dressing. I pulled some chicken out and gave it to my wife and then it was perfect, a bit too overstuff before. The mole and overall taste were quite good though. Chilaquiles: tortilla chips sautéed in chile de árbol-guajillo salsa, topped with queso fresco, cilantro crema, and an egg. My wife loved this so much it made her question every time she didn't order it before. Fried egg sandwich: two over easy eggs on house baked brioche bun, chipotle aioli, avocado, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried shallot. Kids loved this and happily ate the leftover after. Iced Mexican Cafe: delicious iced coffee with a distinct Mexican taste. Distrito Verde: mezcal, basil, lemon, and falernum. Simple but refreshing brunch cocktail, really paired well with the mole tacos. Chips and salsa: These are not free but worth the price. Both the chips and the 2 salsa are of extremely good quality and preparation. Abnormally tasty and the kids went crazy eating it.
