    Bangin tacos!! Great service too! Parking situation is a little difficult once it fills up. Got pastor,tripas(extra crispy),asada tacos all fire and they cooked the tripas the way I asked (which most other spots mess up). Agua de piña was really good too!

    Boys happy they are chicken

    I came for some tacos today bomb flavor the guy saw me eating in my car with my boys and without asking him or without hesitation he was so nice brought me out 2 big plates filled with grilled chicken the boys definitely approved!!! Tacos had great awesome flavor and the service he went above and beyond thanks for caring for my fur babies!!!!

    Al pastor and grilled chicken

    I haven't been back to this truck since Covid started. I use to love their Al pastor. After a couple of years I decided to come back. The Al pastor is still very good, just wish it had pineapple pieces. The salsa verde is very tasty. The chicken was a bit bland. I will be back for more Al pastor.

    Visited this place per my friend's request :-) Nothing wow about this place. I ordered 2 Tacos with Pastor and they were pretty good, the meat wasn't too dry and wasn't too oily either. Complimentary red&green salsa tasted super good. Only complain was it was so slow to get my taco :-) The price was decent about $2.XX/taco

    Tacos are delicious.... Recommend the asada ones I love that they have yellow tortillas. Service was good, it's a food truck so they only have 3 seats unless you want to eat in your car like I did plenty of parking.

    I have had a few people tell me to try this place. First thing if you decide to try it, parking is limited. May have to park and walk a little. I ordered the marinated pork super burrito. A good size burrito and it was very balanced with the flavors. My only issue was I had a few bites that had a little to much sweetness for me, like there was pineapple or something in there. Not my first choice in flavors in a burrito. The rest of the family had Carne Asada tacos and they liked them and said there was very little to no fat mixed in the meat. They had good flavor and would get them again. You have to ask for the salsa and I thought it was really good and so did my family. The staff was very nice and did make me fell the valued my decision to choose them for my meal. I will return, We are very picky with our Mexican food and this place made us happy.

    My favorite taco truck in Fremont. The meat does not taste like it's been frozen, and the tortillas are the good ones! Friendly staff! The prices went up, but it's worth selling my cat on the streets and eating more of these.

    Taco Line

    Pretty popular yet authentic taco truck. Lines definitely form. And to my surprise, a lot of Doordash pick-ups. I didn't know you could Doordash a food truck, huh... But authentic in terms of very little English spoken here, workers and customers. Authentic in terms of meats offered, suadero, tripas, lengua, cabeza all here. Authentic in terms that Mexican banda music will seranade you through their outdoor speakers as you wait. Authentico. But sometimes authentic doesn't always mean great as well. Sometimes it can be downright poorly executed, or it could be just alright. Which seemed the case here for me, in just a few visits. Lengua Tacos ($3/4*) Decent lengua, very tender but chopped on the smaller side. Really needs salsa to amp it up. Their salsas are good though. Suadero Tacos ($3/4*) Decent rendition, but again more finely chopped than what I'd prefer. When it's chopped too fine, you lose the identity of what you ordered. They also really pack on the raw onions here, like the most I've ever seen from a taqueria. So if you don't have a huge love for a mouthful of raw onions, I'd say for them to cut it back a bit. But if you don't speak Spanish, then you may just be sh%# outa luck. Campechano Tacos ($3/2*) So the menu states these are a mix of suadero and tripas together, in one taco. I've never had this combo before, but I love both meats individually. So I thought this was gonna be a for sure hit. Not so much. Again, it was so chopped that this time (different outing therefore different cook), that it was basically pulverized. Totally couldn't discern if it was suadero or tripas. Actually to me, it tasted and looked like mexican chorizo, right down to the orange/red hue. Now taste wise, it was fine, cuz I actually like chorizo. But since I wanted to taste/feel the chosen meats, but didn't perceive any, gotta knock em a star. Tlacoyos con Pastor ($11/3.5*) Again high expectations here. I love Tlacoyos, which to me are similar if not the same as Huraches. To me, it's a taco on steroids. Imagine getting 3-4X the meat of a taco, then to use a big oval shaped pupusa as the base. Conceptually it's amazing. So here, the thickish masa base is pretty solid. Griddled to order with plenty of oil so it is hot to the touch when you get it, and it bites real tender. Except usually I see a thin spread of some pureed beans to set a base for the toppings, but here, I couldn't detect any beans. Then the Al Pastor that I chose to top, was actually pretty good. They do the shaving off a spit and even garnish with thinly sliced pineapple. Super legit and authentico. So the pork had a great texture, cuz it wasn't further chopped into oblivion. I could totally see and respect the pork texture. But the seasoning for the pastor itself, was super light. So light that it just seemed like a pork shawarma to me, which in certain cultures is an actual oxymoron. So for this, great texture, but so-so flavor. So not sure if I need to come back, as nothing is pulling me to return. But I'm certainly glad that I gave them a whirl. I used to always wonder about the people who line up here. Well now I know.

    Top Al Pastor, and 2 Suadero Tacos
    May G.

    Their Suadero Tacos are so delicious! You would want to have them 3X a week! But make sure you pair them up with Al Pastor Tacos cause the Suadero has a lot of fats which gives it a lot of flavor.

    This place is racist. If you are not hispanic they will lie and tell you they dont have stuff but if you stick around; you will see them give what you requested to someone else secretly. I also noticed they did not show me the pricing for my order but showed everyone else. Clear difference in service. If you are not hispanic; expect a different treatment. Do not give them your money.

So helpful jugleling from walkins and phone orders he was welcoming and gracefully gave great Service to everyone. When I was leaving I needed some ice for the road under this heat! I ask the same Gentleman and he didnt know if I was able to, he ask the other lady next to him (she was wearinh knee brace) and before he finish asking her if it was ok? She emmediately answer "NO We DONT HAVE REFILS" i said no Mrs I dont need that! I only need Ice, she must to be in pain or under the heat! I thought she was going to apoligize and give me the ICe but instead she said its right there and appount to the soda machine! I get it is self service thing but she was a bit NOT welcoming! I looked at the Nice Gentleman and said dont worry I'll get it thank you much again. Got the Ice amd walked out. Though of sharing it the experience, because I wasnt asking for refill nor free Ice, I could have paid fornit is just that she was a not in the mood for a begger! Thank you so much. P.S. Food was great like always!

Years past, we were on the quest to try all of their locations and this one won our unofficial rating scale in various areas. Food was always great, large portions, reasonable prices and above all friendly service. Then I stopped coming here....COVID, life....and here we are again. We were going to throw a surprise birthday party and we needed a central location that was able to accommodate a group our size. I went weeks prior to see if this was going to be possible since I remembered that they had a large room in the back for semi to private events. I had also used the area in the past for lunch meetings but wanted to make sure that the space was still available. I spoke with Nico and from the start the ease in organizing a surprise birthday lunch was easy. He told me the different options available in hosting a buffet style type of lunch or having guests select choices from a pre-determined menu. Once you let him know your selection of items for the select choices, he will type it up for you to have it ready for your guests. He didn't tell me that I needed to do this, but I opted in making my own menu document since I wanted to make it personalized, use color and also have the selections in English and Spanish to accommodate our guests. Their menu is so ample and they have a lot of choices and many non-meat and meat selections. I personally am partial to the Super Famoso Burrito (Wet), its my go to and the one that I almost always get when ordering. Nico was quickly available via text during the process to answer any questions. The day of the party, he was there and when I entered the restaurant with the birthday man, he knew what to do. Our invited guests were already waiting in the back room with the curtain drawn. I didn't have to tell Nico that we were there for the surprise party. Nothing was ruined. He led us to the back for us to be seated and surprised our birthday man was!! Staff was excellent, super friendly and professional, helping to serve all of our needs. Parking can get a little tricky depending on the time and day if you want to park right in front. There is plenty available but because the restaurant is in a strip shopping center, the surrounding shops are also busy too but you will find parking. Our guests that had never been to La Pinata before commented on how much they liked the food, service and the restaurant itself. I know people from our party will be coming back and I know for sure I will too! Thank you Nico and everyone else for ensuring that the surprise birthday celebration lunch was perfect!

Between the unwelcoming attitude and disappointing food, I won't be returning.

I was scrolling through the menu and I noticed that some of the words were too small to read especially when they're clumped together. When I was trying to order, they were going a bit too fast by not just quickly telling me what to add next, but also added cheese to accumulate the total price of food when I never ordered it. Fast service could be as bad as slow service, because people could feel rushed. I got Al Pastor Bowl and it's really delicious though. I like how all the ingredients were blended together as I keep on eating it. My small issue is that, it wasn't kind of warm enough but not to the point where I have to microwave it. Honestly, I have forgotten what Al pastor is which is why I got it but again, I'll have to look up online what it is. Overall, the food is good but they should slow down a bit when taking customers' orders especially when they're new here. My other suggestion is to replace a menu where all words can be seen easily to read and to space them out.
