I got two taco plates, one chicken and one Asada. There are covered picnic tables to eat there if you want with lights and plenty of parking. So happy to know this taco truck exists In Taft!

Out on the Taft highway there is a taco truck that is the Gold Standard of taco trucks !!!! I have…read moreeaten at hundreds of taco trucks , Jades tacos has earned the highest award possible. The Gold Standard. Friendly faces greet you , the music is spot on, nice place to sit and enjoy your amazing tacos. They cook the meat in small batches so it is alway fresh, the perfectly fried corn tortillas taste so good ! The corn tortillas are topped with the meat of your choice, I chose steak , the seasoning on the meat is out of this world. Then finely chopped cilantro and onions, in the middle of my four tacos was more larger fried onions, cucumber slices and a lemon wedge top off the plate . As far as hot sauce goes the avocado based green sauce and a great flavor with just a little kick , the roasted Chile sauce was much spicier and will leave you wanting more ! The roasted jalapeño wedges were flavorful and spicy. If I was full and driving by this truck I would stop and eat again. This badge I give to this truck really means something, I cannot recommend this taco truck high enough

From most to least impressed: + Lengua taco: This was done really, really well. Lengua can be a hit or a miss sometimes, as it's easy to make it tough to chew, but this was extremely tender and I could've ordered an entire plate of just this. + Quesabirra taco: Really flavorful. The birria was great and pairs well with consume. + Asada taco: I would skip this one because the meat was on the tougher end for me. But the other two tacos win me over. Reasonably priced and the meal came with chips and salsa. Also clean seating and bathrooms with ample parking in the lot. Make this your pit stop if you're ever in this side of town!

Our server welcomed us with the update that they had already sold out of chile rellenos. When I…read moreordered agua de Jimica they were out of that too so horchata it was. We ordered chips and salsa but then learned they were out of salsa and would be making more. They did have the tacos and quesadilla we ordered and they were delicious. Our server checked in to see if we needed anything else and we said we were waiting on the chips and salsa. She updated us that they were actually out of the ingredients for the salsa so those wouldn't be coming. I'm glad I checked the stall in the bathroom as one was out of toilet paper. I worry they might not have the cash flow they need if they have such a lean inventory.

Our server brought each of us a small dish of salsa and a basket of chips, both were good. I opted for the ale carte asada burrito which comes wet. It was pretty tasty. The best in town? Maybe, my search continues, but I would definitely come back for another one. I also like being able to order it ala carte with a side of rice and beans. Price is right too!

The grilled chicken was perfectly tender with a fantastic smoky flavor, and the cheese had a really sophisticated, delicate depth to it that set it apart from your standard enchilada. The house-made chips are a must; you can tell they care about quality since they make them fresh twice a day. And the salsa? Out of this world. I'd buy it by the bottle if they sold it! To top it off, the service was excellent throughout our visit. Highly recommend this spot to anyone traveling through Taft.

Decor is old school with old banquettes but the service was warm and the restaurant is clearly a family operation. Food quality and portion size was better than expected. Prices are lower than in the San Francisco area. Rated 4.5 on Google, 3.8 on Yelp. Yelp had old menus on there, so we uploaded new ones. Food Review Free chips were very good and refillable. We tried not to eat too many! Guacamole ($8.95 for 8oz) was fresh and well made. Nice for the crispy chips. 9/10 Shrimp Fajitas ($24.95) was a large portion of medium-small sized fresh shrimp sizzling with onions, bell peppers and more.

I believe that this is the only fast food restaurant within 20 miles radius. The local customer bases are three groups: 1.Oil field workers, 2. Orange orchid farm/vineyard workers, and 3. Federal prison workers. Such customers will focus on hearty, tasty, and quick meal at very reasonable prices; otherwise, they will pack lunch. As expected, this place has super great tacos. The key was tangy and fresh tomato based taco sauce. Very distinct from famous King Taco's fermented hot red sauce. To me, they are both equally and differently great. However, this place sells Asada taco for $1.00 only. Although, the real estate price is much cheaper in Maricopa, CA, I still feel that it is the super good deal.
