There are food spots you try once and say "that was pretty good" then there are spots that somehow become part of your weekly routine . I've been coming to this taco truck since 2019 which honestly makes this my longest relationship at this point lol. Every time it's the same order... lengua tacos -- yes cow tongue for the people about to get nervous -- and a Mexican Coke because for some reason it just hits different. Now let's be real parking here is always an adventure because there are food trucks everywhere. You basically circle around hoping somebody leaves so you can slide in real quick. They added a table outside now too so you can actually sit there, eat your tacos, and people watch while cars squeeze through the parking lot chaos lol. The guys working this truck are always cool and straight moving. You can tell they got their system down because the food comes out quick even when people are lined up. The tacos are packed with flavor, messy in the best way, and always hit the spot. After all these years this place still delivers every single time. read more

One of my favorite taco spots! Great prices and the food tastes good. I'm not a fan of whatever they season the chicken with but the carne asada is pretty on point. I like to get my meat a little crispy on the outside. I recommend this place for a quick bite read more

Tacos La Piedad - Carne asada and carnitas taco - Chicken Shop Near Me - Sacramento, California

Horrible service! As soon as we walked in I knew it wasn't going to be good. They didn't even acknowledge us as we walked in and didn't even greet us. I understand it was almost closing time but it doesn't give you the right to be rude and give you a disappointment look. The cashier told us we could place an order as long as it was to go. We ordered 2 lomo tortas which had more beans than meat. Chips were disgusting. We had to eat our food in the car and got beans spilling all over my pants. Will definitely NOT go back. Wasn't worth the trip at all. read more

The carne asada plate ($16) is very good and has great flavor. It comes with tortillas, sour cream, onions, lettuce and tomatoes on the side. Loads of onions, and a jalapeño pepper were on top of the steak. Rice and beans are included and good too! Free chips and salsa too!!! read more

Great spot for some Mexican bbq chicken, either for lunch or dinner. They have a good amount of seating inside and outside if you wish to eat in, but they also offer take out. I have never had chicken like this before and I was quite pleased. The grill cook and staff inside were friendly. I also ordered an array of soaps, which were also good and hit the spot. read more

Best tacos ever !! Been coming here for years these tacos are one of the best street tacos in Sacramento!

No service was bad the guy was hurry and order food is not like before on the taco truck

Dang, I was really looking forward to trying Tacos La Piedad because my patient's family had brought these tacos in one day and the smell alone filled his room and it was sooooo good! I tried the carne asada. I wish I would have known that the tacos come "plain Jane" (peep my picture). When I opened my to go container, it was literally just the corn tortilla and meat, it was missing cilantro, onions annnnnd salsa. The meat was a bit on the salty side and could have used a couple squeezes from some lime wedges to off set the saltiness. The meat was also slightly over cooked and dry. Tacos La Piedad is a stand alone food truck that only accepts cash. Please note: the surrounding area isn't in the best part of town. While I was standing in line for my food, there was an aggressive homeless man trying to haggle me for something. I grabbed my food and left with the quickness. Ugh, I don't know if I'm rushing back for another visit. read more

Very great food and customer service highly recommend the chicken is fresh made and super delicious

Hands down one of my favorite spots!!!! Amazing food! Super inexpensive the service is always so welcoming! I love their menudo with the homemade tortillas! Ceviche is also good! The chicken is fresh of the grilled chard and juicy! read more

I have never been to their brick and mortar place but frequent the taco truck and their food and service are very good

Service was fast and they had all the taco toppings and salsa self serve, sadly the meat was pretty unseasoned and kinda had a dog food feeling... read more

When I 1st tried this taco place, it was good! Today they were good but they need to clean a bit more. There were no lemons, and the salsa bar was a mess they also didn't carry water to drink. read more

Heard about this spot from a fellow Mexican food aficionado who told the tale of the best fire cooked chicken in all the land. We grabbed a super burrito that was loaded with chopped grilled chicken, perfect rice and beans, lettuce and pico. A real old school jumbo super burrito that did not disappoint. We also picked up an 8 piece chicken combo that comes with a stack of corn tortillas, rice,beans, a little salad , and 2 types of salsas. This is the mind blowing chicken I'd heard of, grilled over mesquite with a spicy flavored skin and super succulent inside, not dried out a bit!! My wife and I stood over the container, ripping into the chicken like savages. The beans are a bit salty but when combined with the rice and the chicken, absolutely perfect! This place is casual and clean with very friendly service. read more

Very convenient location we live around the corner. We have been coming here lately after work or for dinner. We always order chicken tacos; it comes with grilled onions and Serrano pepper. I believe the young gentleman is the son of the owner; very friendly. read more

Food here was amazing, not to mention the time of tacos being done was unbelievable. I got my tacos in under 2 minutes. It felt like a real authentic Mexican restaurant with the decor and music. I would recommend anyone that hasn't tried tacos to come here and try. read more

Tacos La Piedad's Food Truck is parked at the vibrantly stunnink Ballet Folklorico mural pretty much every night. Along with other food vendors, this turns every night into a small street food fest. Tacos are all meat based and come with the basics - meat and tortilla. Dress it up with salsa, limes, crema from the bar below the takeout window. Staff are very nice and the food is delish! read more

Great food, just the Flys flying all over the restaurant is a no go. Also it's too hot

I'm going to start by saying the food looks way better than it is. All they sell is tacos and tostadas de ceviche. I ordered 4 tacos de asada and was super disappointed. Every time I took a bite I had to spit some out because the meat was full of those hard chewy lumps. I know it happens but on every bite! The tortillas were also soggy and took away from it as well. I've tried plenty of taco trucks in sacramento and don't think I'll ever go back to this one. read more

Update: The tostada de camaron is not good at all, especially not for the $6 they are asking and the small shrimp! I'd rather make it myself with bigger shrimp and better flavor! The alpastor tacos were just ok, I do like that you can get your own toppings like cilantro, onions, radishes, limes and salsas. Prices have gone up since the last time I came here and I assume it's due to the pandemic so that's expected. read more

Not going back! My Serrano is bigger than the chicken itself . Some BS. Was not expecting this for there prices read more

Tacos La Piedad - Got 2 combo plates of the 2 piece chicken. And my chicken is so small and my Serrano is bigger than the chicken itself. super upset. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Sacramento, California

Just call me a La Piedad fan. The thing is, no pies are sold here. Although I did see some papis with their families finger-licking while devouring the pollo al carbon aka barbecue chicken. That sounded kinda wrong... BTW, La Piedad refers to a city in Mexico and La Piedad describes their pollo as Sinaloa-style. Sinaloa's claim to fame is the infamous cartel that is from there... so I guess you can say that La Piedad's chicken is pure gangsta' mafioso delicioso. I love all types of chicken whether it is fried, baked, poached, etc... but I truly lust after BBQ chicken because I love eau-de-barbecue. Therefore, I knew this place was legit when I saw the grill outside next to an EZ-up shade canopy in the parking lot of their restaurant. Let me call a timeout here and comment on all the fooliosos that reviewed a polloteria on their carne asada tacos or little donkeys (burritos) without even trying the BBQ chicken. Stop being pinche tontos. You should always order the specialty of a restaurant. That's like reviewing a steakhouse on their shrimp cocktail without even trying the steak. ¡Ay caramba! Back to the pollo. It is seasoned perfectly and the salsa that comes with the chicken is bomb. You can order the meal or just the chicken. I've had both options, but I think I prefer just the chicken because it still comes with tortillas and I prefer more chicken over beans. Also, their legit salsa bar with complimentary chips is an added plus that makes me give them that extra 5th star. To recap, if you want a meal for under $10 and happen to be in the area, definitely stop by and try the (wait for it...) CHICKEN! Who needs to go to the crazy chicken place in Sacramento when you've got the gangsta' chicken? La Piedad is truly the Pollo-daddy. P-Diddy. The chicken here is Notoriously Big Poppa B.I.G. read more

Tacos La Piedad - Chicken on the grill smells so dam good and the taste is just like the smell ! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Sacramento, California

Tacos La Piedad is one of those off the radar Mexican food spots that you have to discover, either by happening upon it or word of mouth. I was getting my car washed nearby and discovered their food truck, and I'm so glad I did. Despite what I read while doing my research reading previous reviews, I went with the tostada de cameron and I loved it. Crispy, flavorful and packed with shrimp. I also sampled a friend's chicken burrito and the medley of flavors rivals anything I've found at countless other Mexican food joints around Sacramento. Don't take my word for it. Come on down and try them yourself. My money says you'll fall in love with what they call "el sabor mas Mexicano." read more

I have drove past this place for many years, and I haven't tried it yet even though I would see them cooking the chicken fresh in afternoon outside I knew it was gonna be a good spot. Just never had a chance to try it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed maybe due to the hour I was there, but they had a very poor chips and salsa bar. No pico de Gallo. It's the little things that count for me in a spot like this. Chicken was OK. Burrito was OK. Don't think I'll be coming back but definitely give it a try. Maybe you'll have a better experience. read more

I was on the way to El Pollo Loco when I noticed smoke coming from a huge grill in the parking lot of La Piedad. Intrigued, I bookmarked the business and promised to come back to try their chicken. A few days later, I came back and ordered one of their combo meals -2 pieces of chicken (breast and wing), rice, beans and 4 corn tortillas and a delicious salsa that went perfectly with my lunch. The setup at La Piedad is similar to other taquerias in the area. For example, the menu is above the cash register, and there is a chips and salsa bar for you to enjoy while you are waiting for your meal. Speaking of salsa, the version that comes with your chicken is not available in the salsa bar. While delicious on their own, the other salsas (green and red) don't compare to their signature salsa. The flavor profile of the salsa that they keep away from the salsa bar is a perfect complement to the citrus marinade in the chicken. There is something special about this place. Family owned and operated, the food comes out fresh, fast, and delicious. In fact, my food came out before I even had a chance to collect my chips and salsa. I was so impressed with Las Piedad that I brought my wife and 3 children back a few days later to share the experience. Needless to say, my family was equally impressed with the quality of food, and friendly customer service. Full disclosure- La Piedad offers a variety of menu items and different meat options. However, the chicken is what brought me here, and they do it very well. Why would I try anything else? That would be like ordering fish at a steakhouse. As a result, I couldn't tell you if any of their "other" menu items are on par with the chicken. If you find yourself craving delicious BBQ chicken, rice and beans -I highly recommend that you give La Piedad a shot. Sorry El Pollo Loco - I have a new go-to spot. read more

Great tacos that I've tried since being in Sacramento but it doesn't beat the tacos in the bay! It's out of the way for me but if I'm ever in the area then I'll be back with my boyfriend just for safety since it's in a sketchy area. I'm not familiar with the area and there's elote stands too. The tacos were $7 total for 4! Cheapest I've found except sadly there's no pickled jalapeños or carrots and you put your own onions, cilantro, and salsa on. read more

Lookin for the best tacos in town: Tacos La Piedad has the greasy tortilla typical of a taco Mexicano. The meat flavorful. I love tripa extra crispy!!!!!!!!!! They have a self serve salsa bar. You can add cilantro and cebolla al gusto. The salsa is always PICOSA . Makes you all mocoso/a. That's how you measure the success of a salsa tbh. I'll give them four stars but they would be five stars if they added grilled cebollitas. read more

Tacos La Piedad - Tripa taco extra crispy - Chicken Shop Near Me - Sacramento, California

Not sure how this place passes any sort of inspection, if there is any! Dead fly swimming around in the salsa bar, tables are dirty, doesn't look like it's been cleaned for a while... not sanitary read more

A little hit or miss. Got a cabeza taco (very very good), a chicken taco (pretty mediocre) and a fish ceviche tostada (not bad). But the prices for everything were totally reasonable and the tostada was a pretty large portion. I think the right play here is to get 3-5 cabeza tacos probably. read more

The food was great tasting, surpassed my expectations if I'm honest. However the only issue I had was most of the meat was slightly overcooked and a bit dry so definitely add salsa to your tacos here.. The restaurant itself had many flies that kept bugging us the whole time so probably getto go and eat somewhere else if that bothers you. read more
