    Super Carnitas
    Deanna H.

    Omg. This is literally the best Mexican food I ever ate. The steak is bbq'd. The prices are super reasonable. The burrito the first bite I tasted the bbq steak. Delicious flavor. The taco was so tasty! There wasn't a line n I was shocked. I went back today n got a super steak taco. Perfect. The ppl r super nice and food is served fast there's also a place to eat. There is also another truck for plates. Chicken steak shrimp n ceviche. They also got 2-ways n 4-ways. Yummmm. Definitely recommend!

    This place has a new look!

    Still some of the best tacos in S.F. Come here any time I'm passing through 3rd street. It's super in the cuts tho.

    Look at all the chewy fat and not meat in this nasty burrito, rip off! I have only ate 1/3 and will not eat the 2/3 remaining.

    I asked for a carne asara burrito and got a burrito of chewy fat for about $10. It is wrong to sell your customers chewy fat instead of steak! Also the short lady taking orders is rude as hell. Go treat yourself to a real burrito at Taqueria Azteca a few blocks away for better quality food and 100% better service where you can actually watch them make your food in front of you and never pull what these people are doing! Why is there never smoke coming from this truck? Why does everyone reach into the same cooler with dirty ass hands to get their drinks especially in times of COVID-19 (corona)? I'm done wit his this roach coach :)

    Update: Recent restaurant safety inspection gives them a 98. So, if you're worried about taco trucks because you're a weakling hypochondriac, maybe that'll help. They do a ceviche tostada and it's great. ...Pile of ceviche on top of a crispy tostada with avocado slices on top. Good stuff! Not the most high-end ceviche in the world in that there aren't whole shrimps, etc, in there but rather it's all chopped up into the mix. Still extremely tasty though! Putting it on top of a tostada is a great idea, and it's very well priced compared to your typical ceviche! Breakfast burritos, which I hadn't had before because mornings are not my thing, are wonderful. Huge, tasty, etc. (BTW in the early morning the truck is usually not in the same spot. They tend to be a block up towards McDonald's somewhere between Yosemite and Van Dyke) ...my 'usual' is now 1 carnitas sopes (darn good) and a ceviche tostada... The owner (whether or not his name is Primo, I actually don't know), btw, is a super nice guy if I didn't mention that last time! Jeremy

    Drinks which was not okay to grab

    Terrible. Went to an event and the taco truck was hired to cater for food. (The host prepaid the "business" to give food to the guest. Which would be free to the guest.) They had their menu up so I figured, I would order the nachos. They said "no nachos, only tacos, quesadillas, or burritos". He also said we can't take the drinks from the truck which was visible for people to grab. If it's there, why can't we take it. As for the menu, why can't we order stuff from the menu if it's showing the food items. It would have been better to update the menu to avoid confusion and disappointment. These people were just being lazy on putting the drinks away and updating the menu for the private event. I just feel like this so called "business" is just lying to customers.

    That was really good, I had a carnitas torta this morning at 1100 am and I'm still full 7pm

    I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area, I want to try their tacos. Also I heard their doors are good. They also have a small indoor seating. Just hard to find parking

    Breakfast burrito yum!
    Gene X.

    Breakfast burrito review only. Wow the breakfast burrito here is pretty damn good and it's huge to boot. This is a true Mission style burrito but in breakfast form (aka with eggs!) It also has potatoes and even though I don't like them when they aren't as crisp/crunchy, the ones here were just right. I got mine loaded and with ham, since that seemed to be the only meat option for the breakfast burrito. It's not very greasy but just right and if it wasn't so far away from where I normally am in the city, I'd hit this spot up. If you are down in Bayview/Hunters Point make sure to drop by. I came on a Saturday morning and it was open, so I think the hours listed on Yelp are incorrect.

    I live a couple blocks away and I now that I've finally tried Chave, I can't believe how many times…read moreI walked by and mentally dismissed the place since it always looks empty. I now realize it's a major local hangout spot when there's a soccer game going on, but also their tacos are great! They have excellent soft corn tortillas. We asked for "mild" but they were still quite spicy (not overwhelmingly so). * Carne Asada ($3) - 3 stars Good flavor, but quite a bit of fat I had to pick off. * Cochinita Pibil ($3) - 4.5 stars Great flavor, tender meat! * Pastor ($3) - 4 stars Great flavor & crisp. * Sope w/ carnitas ($4) - 2 stars The bottom of the sope was too hard, making it difficult to cut. Meat was too chewy, full of fat. & Quesadilla w/ carnitas ($12) - 3.5 stars Tortillas were soft, filling tasty, except carnitas was too fatty & chewy.

The guy charged my debit card for $9.00 and tried to say it didnt go through and i had to pay cash for my tacos., which by the way were like way too spicy and didnt look anything like the tacos they made for a couple that were before me. When I got home I looked at my online banking and there it is, they charged my card and yes it went through...

    TWICE AT GOLDEN GATE PARK…read more In the past 11 months I've been to two exhibitions at De Young Museum. After the exhibitions instead of eating at the cafe in the museum I would look at food trucks at Golden Gate Park. After those two exhibitions I've ordered food from this food truck. The first time I came to Cochinita was in September after the exhibition featuring photos taken by Paul McCartney during the rise of The Beatles. The item that stood out from the truck was the elote tots. They were Mexican-style corn kernels top over tater tots. I am a sucker for tater tots. With sour cream and sauce I was worried if the tater tots would be soggy. The tater tots were still crispy. The complimenting textures of corn and tater tots made this a satisfying dish. The second time I came to the food truck at Golden Gate Park was the last day of exhibition "Monet and Venice." I was hoping to see if the elote tater tots were available; they weren't. I scanned up and down the items available listed on the food truck. One item that intrigued me was the tradicional - a plate with two types of fried tortilla. The panucho is regular fried while the salbut is fried with a puffy appearance. I love fried food, but these two tortillas weren't oily. These two kinds of tortilla fried dishes provided different textures to the toppings. I never ate Yucatan food before ordering food at Cochinita. If you are tasting a new cuisine you never had before ordering from a restaurant versus a food truck is different. Whereas in a restaurant while sitting you ask for recommendation whereas at a food truck while you're standing you go with your gut feeling. From my two experiences at the Cochinita food truck I ordered items I never had before and I enjoyed both of them. If I go to the Chochinita food truck at Golden Gate Park again and see elote tots, panucho, and salbut what will I order next time? I'm going to order an item I never had before.

    YUM!! I had the vegan panuchos and a guava jarritos. Flavors were absolutely on point!…read more How perfect this tasted in that blissful location along Marina Green Park. Will definitely be back to try the other vegan options ( tacos, burritos, bowls).
