9.75/10 Hands down…read morethe best burritos in the area, and honestly, some of the best I've ever had! I've tried the Breakfast Burrito, Asada, Carnitas, and Chile Verde, and they've all been worth coming back for. First off, the tortillas are absolutely to die for. They're easily the best tortillas I've ever had, soft, fresh, and packed with flavor. They honestly make the burritos stand out from anywhere else. Every burrito comes with the same traditional rice and beans, and they taste homemade. The beans, especially, are delicious. The Breakfast Burrito is a great way to start your day. It's simple with eggs, potatoes, and your choice of meat, but it's filling, comforting, and exactly what you'd want from a breakfast burrito. The Carnitas Burrito has great flavor, although the meat can be a little on the dry side and tends to stick to your teeth. I'd definitely recommend adding their salsa, which helps bring everything together and adds some extra moisture. The Asada Burrito is a classic and doesn't disappoint. The steak is flavorful, and it's a solid go-to option. I'd also recommend grabbing some salsa to take it up another notch. The real winner, though, is the Chile Verde Burrito. If you're only ordering one, make it this one. The pork is juicy, tender, and full of flavor, and the chile verde sauce is absolutely incredible. It's easily my favorite and the one I'd recommend to anyone visiting for the first time. My only critique is the size, I just wish the burritos were a little bigger because they're so good! Overall, this is one of those places I keep coming back to whenever I'm craving an authentic, flavorful burrito.

I got the carne asada burrito and my fiancé got the chile verde burrito. There's no such thing as…read morea super burrito here, as I learned when I tried to order "con todo". All the add ons are separate and cost extra, which can add up in a hurry. El Charrito's burritos aren't the phatty mission burritos we're used to at California taquerias. I can scarf an entire one down myself, but what lacks in quantity makes up for in quality! The meats are flavorful and juicy and I really enjoyed my burrito with basically every add on there was except shredded lettuce. We also shared a horchata which hit the spot. The chips and salsa are also a must add-on. No restrooms available and uncovered seating outside only (two small benches).

My grandma…read morereally enjoyed her tacos, and my grandpa liked his food too--although he thought the salsa was a little too spicy (I personally loved the kick). The tortillas were amazing--soft, fluffy, and delicious. My molcajete had great flavor as well. My only personal preference was that the steak was cooked more well-done than I typically like, which made it a little dry for me. I understand that may be how many customers prefer it, but it could be nice to give guests the option on how they'd like their steak cooked. The beans were creamy, the rice had great flavor, and overall everything tasted fresh and well made. It does get busy, so parking can be a little difficult, and it can get pretty loud inside during peak hours--but that's also a sign that people clearly enjoy this place. Overall, delicious food and I definitely want to come back to try more items on the menu.

The street tacos are made with the hand made tortillas that are to die for. We tried asada, carnitas, and pastor. Let me just say all meats were delicious. Not dry at all and super flavorful.! But the pastor stole the show. The pineapple flavor shines through with the pork and it literally is the best pastor I've had.! The tacos de cansta were amazing.! Get there early to get the chicharrón filling. They sell out.! Add the cabbage mixture to the taco for a bright flavor. Also, get both red and green salsas. Mix them and be amazed. The red salsa has a hint of smokeyness but it's not over powering. The green is more like an avocado salsa. I told the owner that I fully enjoyed his food and he explained the process and I can appreciate the time and prep he takes to make this cuisine. Every bite was amazing and if you want a new favorite taco spot, here it is. Warning: it ain't cheap but neither is Louis Vuitton.

Drove two hours from the Bay Area to get there and it was totally with the trip. My son got the mole negro and I got the chile verde. Everything on both plates was authentic, delicious, and AMAZING. My son tried my chile verde and said it was the best he's ever tasted and I agreed. They were super busy because it was Mother's Day, but we were seated after a short wait and our waitress was super efficient and friendly. Several times during our meal someone checked to see if we needed anything. Not going to lie, we were a bit intimidated when we pulled up as there were no other non-Hispanic people in the large crowd outside waiting to be seated. I told my son that meant the food was definitely going to be good, but I was worried about how we would be received considering the political climate these days, but it wasn't an issue. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be going back to try other items on their menu.

The place was packed, which is always a good sign, yet the service was still excellent, very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I ordered the tlacoyos with chicken Milanesa, and they were absolutely delicious. The chicken Milanesa was perfectly cooked, the queso fresco added great flavor, and the chile sauce had a nice kick without being overwhelming. I also tried the tamale Oaxaqueño, which was very flavorful with shredded chicken, a rich black chile sauce, and soft masa. It was much spicier than I expected, and unfortunately too spicy for me to finish, but you can tell it was made with authentic flavors. The tostadita Oaxaqueña was another tasty treat, fully loaded, fresh, and delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor. I also had the atole, which was warm, comforting, and the perfect drink to balance the meal. Overall, Culturas gave me a memorable first introduction to Oaxacan food. If you enjoy bold, authentic flavors and don't mind some heat, it's definitely worth trying.

A hidden gem! Taco's Guadalajara is my go-to taco truck whenever I'm craving mouthwatering taco's! It's tucked away on the outskirts of town just out of the hustle and bustle. I have been coming here for about a year now, and they never disappoint. Their corn tortillas are amazing! They are made fresh to order and have the perfect texture and flavor. There's something magical about sinking your teeth into a freshly made, warm, pillowy corn tortilla that just screams "authenticity." I like mine filled with Al Pastor. Now, let's taco 'bout their Al Pastor. It doesn't taste like your typical Al Pastor, but it will definitely make your taste buds do a little happy dance. I would order this over other Al Pastor any day. It's always so moist (yes, I said it) and bursting with freshness and flavor. They also never fail to deliver on the toppings. The onions and cilantro they generously sprinkle on my tacos are always crisp, fragrant, and delicious. As is the tasty garnishing of refreshing cucumber and radish slices, along with the perfectly grilled onions. Just yum! I almost forgot the salsa. I could never forget the salsa! It's, for lack of a better word, salsa-licious! You'll want to ask for extra. Also, the people who run this little truck are as awesome as the food, adding an extra dose of taco-loving vibes to your experience. Plus, they've got your back with convenient phone orders. So, if you're on the hunt for mind-blowing tacos, I highly recommend this place. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more
