    Picture of it right after I chewed it.
    Kryssy L.

    ‼BEWARE! ROCK INSIDE BURRITO‼ Came here today, purchased 3 super burritos. Ordered tripas, it was good. ordered pastor -no complaints from my husband. 3rd burrito, I almost chipped my tooth. I cut off a quarter to snack on while working and boom, almost broke my back tooth it feels like! There was a piece of rock in the carnitas burrito!!! Disgusting!! I mean this rock is almost as big as my pinky nail! NOT OK! I gave 2 star for the other two burritos and price was ok. -We won't be going back. never ever. -Make sure you chew everything, maybe open it up first if anything.

    14$ for TINY tacos

    Tacos are mediocre, portions are extra small, and prices are criminally expensive. I saw them take out the meat in boiling plastic bags, which explains why the carne asada was rubbery. Service was mediocre, as the cashier did not seem happy to serve us. Inside of the truck was also disgusting. I understand that this is a food truck, but cmon at least put some effort into keeping it clean. I would much rather rather go to the other taco trucks on el camino. They are cheaper, tastier, better quality, more sanitary, and happy to serve you unlike this place.

    Tried this taco truck because my regular taco truck was blow'd up. I went with 5 spicy al pastor tacos and it was a good choice. The tacos had a decent amount of heat to them, but not so hot where I felt like I had a charcoal briquette. For these types of tacos I want simplicity: a slight crispiness to the tortilla, spicy meat, onions and cilantro. Then, a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt. This truck does the job well and I will be back.

    Bbq pork and beef tacos(name on Uber eats)
    Roxell C.

    My mother in law liked her burrito, my children ate their cheese quesadilla, and I had a bbq pork taco and a beef taco.Both tacos weren't bad, but the oil or liquidy sauce from the bbq pork seeped through both thin plates the tacos were put on.We also got a churro, but it was super hard and crunchy(not soft on the inside either).With every bite, pieces of the churro would fall off in large flakes.I do wish they had horchata, but that's not a big deal.

    Chicken and Carnitas tacos
    Namita D.

    Cheapest (and some of the best) food in San Bruno. $1 tacos; I usually get chicken but have tried the beef and carnitas as well. All are fantastic. Sour cream is $.25 extra for each but I don't care since the tacos are so cheap. (Disclaimer: I have a small appetite) 3 or 4 of those tacos fill me up nicely without putting me to sleep for the rest of the afternoon. I nearly always spring for the coconut drink in the huge blue can ($2) and would like to try the flan ($3?) at some point. Yum!

    Pastor taco was super greasy and had a cumin taste to it. Not bad, but not as good as Ruddy's Taco Truck. Carnitas taco had a gamey taste to it. Not so good. But, I guess you can't ask for too much if you're only paying $1/taco.

    Stingiest "Super Burrito"!!!!

It's a Mexican chain from AZ (popular I think, they have like 53K followers on Instagram), and they just opened multiple locations in Bay Area, so this time I decide to finally give it a try. I ordered the Tripa Mulitas, Torta, and Horchata drink, Mulitas was $7, Torta $14, and Horchata was $7. They're all delicious, I was actually shocked at the first bite because I didn't know Mexican food could be this great (like I ate at a lot of Mexican place before, but this place is just chef's kiss). You seriously have to try their torta!! It has grilled meat, cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato, all packed in there. Together with their green sauce, red sauce and some of the onion & jalapeno salad, I'm good for the whole day. The flavors are just so authentic and hit the spot perfectly. I totally get why there is always a line now. They officially converted me into a regular from today! If you see a crowd, just jump in line, it's worth the wait.

    Why 5 stars? Because despite a few non-ideal circumstances, it was very worth the visit…read more --- --- --- After eating lunch nearby, I had one final stop to make here for coffee and dessert, before I headed to SFO. The issue is that I was definitely pushing it on time if I planned on making my flight. As I was driving here, I had the thought that if there was an annoying parking situation or a line, I would just have to pivot and forego patronizing. But as it turns out, there was one spot available right next to the front door and no one inside. But then when I requested a nitro, the owner (I assume?) was extremely apologetic that their coffee machine broke. I asked for a few alternate types of coffee, but it turned out said machine controlled it all. So we shifted to the pastries. I read on the website that they had something with guava, so I asked for two of those: one for me, one for the wife. He even offered to heat mine up, which I will say yes to 100% of the time. I then jumped back in the car and was back into "don't' miss your flight mode." Of course, when you're in a hurry, you manage to hit every red light along the way, so I was doing a lot of yelling at electricity and God. But then I figured I might as well take the time to try the pastry that I'd originally planned on eating on the plane. As it turns out, it brought me into a nearly immersive experience of zen. The only bad thing is that I devoured it within seconds and then it was merely a thing of the past. My wife is fortunate that I have the amount of integrity that I do because I am sitting on the plane as I write this and I could easily inhale that 2nd pastry with her being none the wiser. If you're reading this, wife, remember that you hit the spousal lottery.

    My friends and I quickly stopped by Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño for a few tacos after dining at…read moreIn-N-Out next door. I had a chance to try out an al pastor and cabeza taco. The line was considerably long around 7:30 p.m. so it took a while for us to order and receive our food. I like that the tacos here are single tortilla -- as opposed to double tortillas, so the filling to tortilla ratio feels a lot more balanced. For both tacos, the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Although a bunch of sauces and garnishes are provided, the taco was good enough on its own. Of the sauces we received, my favorites to add was a squeeze of lime and the red sauce, which had a nice smokey Chipotle flavor and wasn't overly spicy. My friend ordered a quesadilla and it was absolutely massive! I definitely would only recommending ordering a quesadilla if you're sharing it, or if you're coming with a massive appetite. Overall, Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño was a nice gem we randomly stumbled upon while routing to In-N-Out for burgers. Between the two, I would certainly save my stomach space for tacos from Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño next time.

Parking is a little tricky because so many people pack into the tiny lot. Plenty of different meats to choose from if you're craving tacos. But they have plenty of alternatives if you aren't feeling like tacos. I ended up getting Al Pastor, Asada, and Suadero. Suadero was okay but the Al Pastor was amazing. I lived in San Diego and I've had a hard time finding good pastor since I moved back. Freshly sliced with slice of pineapple was perfect! They have all the fixings in bins with tongs for you to pack in sandwich bags they have available. Only thing is, it seems like kind of a roll of the dice from a food safety standpoint, but hey, "street" tacos aMiRiTe? Haha. Overall fast service, great tacos. Especially for the price of $4/taco. I'd give it five stars but had to knock it down for the food safety aspect.

Way to go! I wish companies would just adjust their prices to pay their workers whatever they think is a fair amount. The idea of having a price posted at a wall and then once you pay, they tell you the price is gonna be much higher due to a service charge is a scam. And it should be against the law. If I want to tip, I will tip. And it will be based on service. The idea of just taking it from me is terrible. And any business who does it, I will never go back to and I'll happily leave a bad review. I would be more OK with this service charge idea if they told me before paying that it's going to be an extra amount. Then I would simply take my card back and go somewhere else. I would also be OK if they have this service charge clearly posted before you pay. Again, I would simply turn around and walk away if I feel it's unreasonable. Instead, the guy tells you I'll make sure to give you the receipt. As if giving me the receipt makes everything OK. Spoiler alert, it doesn't! Now I'm sure that people will say "well it's only $5 or $10 extra depending on the size of your order." My response would be I don't care how much it is extra if it's not told to me in advance. Let's do a hypothetical here really quick. Let's just say the burger dog was posted at $15 and once I paid, they say, please sign the receipt for $30. Would anybody see an issue with this? How about if they said it was going to be $150 after I had already paid? Would anybody see an issue? That's what I thought, so don't charge any stupid service charge ever again without telling people in advance or having it posted.

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.
