    Super Burritos, Horchata, chips n Salsa, Verde sauce
    Shawn S.

    Food is very good and delicious for my first time here. I paid only 30$ and I got 2 super burritos, horchata with some,chips and salsa too, the only thing I notice is there is no salsa bar or just a small space to get more salsa and water. Whenever I go to any Taqueria or buy burritos there is a Salsa Bar that has red, green, limes, and small cups or utensils. Sure you can pay for more but I just want 2 or 1 of each type and an extra small bag of chips, not a big problem just something I want to let other's know. There are some seats to eat in, but it's a food truck and it's best to eat in your car or go down to the donut shop and buy a coffee to eat there. The ladies working were nice and very friendly I didn't see any problem getting my order. I spoke spanish to order and then english later on to thank, because I like being mysterious and making guys laugh hehheehehhe. Me gusta jokes o gusto Malo Mujeres.....eh heheh Very chill place, prices are very fair and you won't find too many places that sell burritos under 15 before taxes. Limited series but food trucks are like that the feeling of eating outside with your friends and fresh made Tacos made from scratch is a nice experience we should enjoy. Am definitely coming back here to taste the nachos and the Quesadillas too. I probably go with mexican coke or mexican pepsi for the drink, though it's always best to go with horchata or fresh squeeze Orange. Whatever you prefer me I just like tasting horchata first then after all the frescas I pick what tastes better with the Burritos or food I have chosen. Keep up the good work 10/10 and maybe open a small place for getting salsa and water.

    Pretty decent Mexican food. I got an El Pastore/Carne Asada torta. The meat was diced very small. Bread and the vegetables tasted fresh. The service was fast and friendly. My only one star off was that there were no chips offered and when I asked for salsa she said they only gave me one: spicy. Unlike the other reviews, I didn't have a chance to try the other salsas. Still recommend since it's friendly

    Lengua tacos
    Janice L.

    I'm always on the lookout for good lengua, so finding this taco truck in Daly City was a nice surprise. The tacos did not disappoint--especially the lengua, which was super tender. The nachos were great too. Definitely a hidden gem, and the ladies running it were so kind.

    Birria super burrito
    Rebekah T.

    Damn El Charrito, you got me craving those flavors. After doing some grocery shopping in Colma, we decided to try a new (to us) taco truck which is located near the Wendy's in Colma/Day City border area. We were surprised to see so many 5 star reviews, but now I know why. We decided to get a couple burritos, my BF wanted a Carne Asada and I wanted the Birria. Both were huge and had half for lunch and the rest for dinner. What I really loved was the salsas! They gave us free chips with three types of salsa; a roasted pepper tomato that was spicy, a habanero that was also spicy but so tasty I couldn't stop eating it and the last was a green salsa that was less spicy but very flavorful.

    Quesabirria tacos to-go

    Went on a Tuesday during lunch and ordered 2 orders of the birria tacos. Service was friendly. Although it took a tad bit longer than I expected to get the food. There were 2 customers from the same party before us and 2 people working the truck. But the food was packaged neatly to-go. No spills. Very good portions, good flavor and reasonably priced. Will be back again ;)

    Birria, carne asada, cabeza and al pastor tacos. 2 of them with sour cream for the kiddo.

    Another visit and another 5 star review. You know this place is good when you see other Mexican people eat here. This time we had a bunch of tacos. Birria, cabeza, carne asada, and al pastor. They were all delicious!! The women that run this truck are so nice and I love the friendliness and how welcoming they are. Plus, the seating area is a nice little spot to sit and enjoy your food.

    Quesabirria - nicely plated
    Dee T.

    We ordered six different items and all the to go food was packaged nicely. No spills. The quesabirrias were so meaty and flavorful. Carne Asada tacos were tasty. They give you tons of bagged tortilla chips and salsa. Chips were a tad salty but good. Carne Asada plate had generous portion. Nice customer service. Will definitely go back. Food truck is located in the parking lot of Royal Donuts in Colma.

    I got a delicious burrito bowl and it did not disappoint. I called ahead and it was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. They only take cash, so make sure you keep that in mind. The employees that work there were so friendly! The salsas are so tasty! 10/10

I visited recently to try their super breakfast burrito. The couple working here are extremely friendly and hard working people. So how was my burrito?

Not welcoming, not friendly, just straight attitude. That already set the tone. Now let's talk tacos. I'm from LA, so when it comes to street tacos, I know what's up. $5.99 for a regular street taco?? And $7.99 for lengua?? Be serious. That's gourmet pricing without gourmet quality. Especially after seeing their old menu prices went from $2.99 to $3.50 to $3.99... and now suddenly almost $6? That price evolution is wild. Respect to the man cooking, he was actually very nice. But kindness alone doesn't justify those prices. The quality just didn't match what they're charging. Inflation is real, but so is value. And this wasn't it.

The birria tacos came with 3 regular sized tacos and honestly each one is pretty dense with meat and cheese. The consome also had some meat although, I think it was beef and not goat. Everything was tender but the flavor was just ok for me. My mom wanted a carnitas super burrito and this was pretty good. Lots of meat and some bits were crispy just how I like it. I wouldn't mind getting it again but I do want to try their al pastor next time. Their fish plate was pretty good as well. Loved the crispness of the fish and it didn't feel greasy or heavy. It came with avocados, rice, beans, lettuce and 4 flour tortillas. I wouldn't mind getting this again. A basket of chips came for each person as soon as we sat down and there was a healthy selection of salsa. I didn't care for the chips itself as they were too salty for me. The ambiance is very festive and there were plenty of people coming in and out. We dined in and found myself wishing they gave real silverware rather than plastic. We were only give one real fork for the fish and it was difficult to break apart. Their plastic cutlery was also pretty flimsy so we mostly ate with our hands. Overall, I'd still come back and try other dishes.

The quesadillas and burritos are also huge and delicious and man their plate meals are amazing. The parking here is always tricky but it's worth it. I don't live in the bay anymore and this is one of the places I miss the most. But whenever I land at SFO this is my first stop. Definitely a recommend if you want banging good Mexican taqueria goods.

The food looked delicious, eye candy. Parking is limited. It's a small place, but big enough to come in with a fairly large group. We walked in and sat down. I noticed a huge counter with a big television screen playing music videos of Latin music, jamming. There were a couple of tables and cultural decor. It was clean and inviting. The server greeted us and brought us chips and salsa verde. The salsa verde was to my liking, perfect amount of spicy. The server came back and took our orders: - Caldo de res (my order), came with rice, tortillas, and cilantro with onions - Grilled chicken tacos - Chicken quesadilla My caldo res was tasty and so good. I love the flavor of the broth. Big portion for me. I finished it though lol. I tasted hubby's tacos and quesadilla, also yummy. I love that they grilled the chicken, gives the flavor more depth.

The shrimp cocktail had a lot of shrimp, avocado, and cucumber which was delicious. But the actual cocktail juice was light in flavor.

I also loved that they serve saltines with their shrimp cocktail because some places just give chips. The fried fish was delicious and unfortunately I wasn't able to try the aguachilles before they ran out which might mean they were good.

The menu offers a variety of items, and we decided on the elote tots (tater tots and elote street-style corn), an appetizer that sounded different, and for the main dishes, the nachos with added soy chorizo and the spaghetti with Poblano chili sauce, plus a side of soy chorizo. The food came quickly, and the elote tots were amazingly good! The combination of tater tots, the corn, and the cheeses (sauce and crumbled) was amazing mix of textures and flavors. The nachos were good, and the pasta with poblano sauce was also very good. The sauce was creamy, with a slight heat, and very different. The soy chorizo was not my favorite, and in the nachos, the crumbled form of the soy chorizo was better suited as an add than as a side to the pasta (maybe it was intended to be mixed in, but I wanted to eat it separately). Just too crumbled and a little dry for me. The service was great, and thanks to Dioscelyn for that. Overall, a very nice meal. We were not hurried and stayed at the table a bit to chat. A great place if you are in the area.
