A great option for your classic taco truck experience. Tacos La San Marquena is a truck located right off of Webster in Oakland. Blink and you miss it, since it is literally just posted up on the corner of the street. You can park in the lot where it is located and walk up to take your order! The service is always quick and super nice! Very chill and lax, I like it! I have tried their quesabirria and their al pastor street tacos and both are really good! The birria is good and cooked well. Meat is tender and flavorful. Only downside is that it did not come with a side of consome, that would have been the cherry on top. Disappointed in that since more birria is served with a side of it! The al pastor is great. Very flavor. One thing I appreciate about this place is they don't skimp on their protein and toppings. The tacos are LOADED! Overall a great choice when you are craving some Mexican food. Definitely a great place to stop as I head downtown. Give it a try! read more

Heaven! It's always the tacos, burritos or nachos for me and the fam. They are always so polite and have a couple of benches should you want to stay to eat. They get a bit busy around lunchtime, but it's worth the wait. read more

Tacos are extremely greasy. Ordered a carne asada burrito with, beans were missing, rice very dried, seemingly old, meet seemed to be more like a shredded stewed beef rather thank grilled. Everything was cold. Won't return. read more

Such great prices! The carne asada is delicious and the pollo is really good too and it's only $3 for tacos. It's cheaper when you go with cash and make sure you ask for salsa read more

Where's the beef?? If you like rice burritos this is your place. Ordered a pastor burrito and I could barely detect any pastor. Mostly Mexican rice and some onions/cilantro. Maybe a little cheese. Legally robbed for $14. The couple of bites where I could detect the savory marinated meat were very good, but 80% was rice. read more

So good! best salsa roja i've ever had You need to definitely check them out, the service was quick and easy read more

Ugh, one of my all time favorite taco trucks. I used to come here often after I went to 24 fitness because I'm constantly dreaming about this place all the damn time! I mainly just order one thing. Tripas tacos with a crispy shell. A-ma-zing. The Burria tacos are good too and well know as well. A MUST TRY!! read more

Best tacos in the bay!! The sopes are always loaded and the tortas cubanas hit every time!

Food = juicy, freshly made, delicious. The salty, limey, and Judy flavor profile of the birria was a nice contrast to the crispy cheese and edges. Jam packed with flavors that married well together. I would choose the birria taco over their traditional tacos read more

I discovered the Tacos La San Marqueña food truck on the corner of Webster and Thomas L Berkley Way. Each time I've passed by during lunchtime (between 12-2 pm), and it was twice they've been parked right behind a modest florist. So far, it's safe to say their prices justify good quality cooking and tasteful Mexican cuisine. I should know, coz I just scarfed down some of their Steak Fries (Nacho fries) earlier today! The Steak Fries were reasonably priced at $15 and it eats like a meal in itself. It's definitely a shareable dish for 2 people, but if you're a hungry guy like me...no judgement. I appreciated the fact that eat forkful bite of fries had a good amount of seasoning to it. It wasn't bland or salty at all. My only critique would be if the fries could come out more steamy hot--or even double-fried! During my previous visit (about a week ago), I remembering ordering just a single Quesabirria and an Soft Taco - Al Pastor. While the Al Pastor was pleasantly seasoned with fresh quality veggies and tortilla, I was even more impressed by the Birria! The birria was so meaty and juicy, I didn't even need consommé (which I didn't see offered as an add-on in their menu). Thankfully, the birria wasn't an oily, soggy orange torilla--with more cheesy oil inside. The birria was crisped up so well on the outside it maintained the juicy and creamy, cheesy texture of the birria on the inside. San Marqueña had the perfect touch! Unassuming Mexican foodie spot, with five stars! Yay! By the way, they accept Cash and Zelle. It doesn't look as if they accept debit/credit card or anything else. read more

Loved this place for years, one of the more consistent Taco Trucks in the bay, I always get the stale tacos with everything and extra lime, yummmyyy!! read more

Good flavor. Food has been cold / cheese os not melted by the time I get home. Not worth it for $13

Burritos one of a kind and the taco tacos. The service was awesome. Highly recommend you trying their food.

best taco spot in the bay,i reccomend the shrimp tacos,amazing service,my daily,anotther great menu is the carnitas burrito,10/10

Used to be consistently amazing, and sometimes they go all out and do a plate of tacos really well, but recently the quality control has really gone down hill. I wish they would be more consistent like they used to be. read more

This place smells straight out like Mexico City when you pull up! The typical taqueria smell doesn't fail! They ran out of suadero, therefore it must be good! I had 4 different tacos . Carnitas were nice and crispy, buche was buttery, al pastor was cool, and the asada was great. The staff are cool, bring cash or Zelle only . Will return sometime read more

Not very friendly. I had to check their closing time because it seemed like they were irritated with my order of 9 tacos. They closed in 3 hours, so not sure why? First time going there won't be back. read more

A solid food truck with solid food located in the parking lot of Webster/Thomas Berkley way. Usually the wait is not too long and service is friendly. More importantly, they have a wide range of meat options including lengua and cabeza. They don't have guac, but definitely worthwhile to add avocado to whatever you get. Cash or Zelle only. Sorry, no pictures-was too hungry. read more

terrific tacos. why does a recent 5-star commenter say "ugh" which commonly is an expression of disgust. I'm 75, so maybe it's an age thing.

They finally take cards! Love the suadero, al pastor, carnitas, and lengua tacos. So well marinated and flavorful- definitely a top taco spot! read more

Tacos la San Marquena is 100% the best tacos i've had in the bay area, go here all the time, the prices, the service, and best of all the food is amazing. HIGHLY recommend it, my girlfriend loves it so much as well, best place for mexican food in general that i've had in the bay area. read more

Tacos La San Marquenna - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

Our favorite neighborhood taco spot! We were a bit nervous about this spot - it's situated right near 19th street station. We've had tacos in Uptown that weren't great, and have historically traveled to East Oakland for our taco fixed. But this spot is awesome! We probably come here around 2-3 times per month. It sits in a large parking lot, so parking is quite easy. The menu is simple, but still offers a variety of options. My partner loves the tacos, and I love the sopes (highly recommend, they are huge and only $5/sope). Everything is very reasonably priced. Service is quick, and staff is very nice. It's technically cash only - but there is an option to pay via Zelle or Venmo - it'll just be a little extra. Highly recommend this spot for a yummy lunch or dinner. read more

I stay 3 minutes away. I ordered a burrito and by the time I got home it was cold, not much of a problem there, but when I unwrapped it I noticed it was more tortilla than burrito. I opened it up and it was barely enough meat to fill ONE taco! I didn't know I was paying $13 dollars for rice and beans. read more

Ordered veggie tacos $3 each and they were delicious and seemed really authentic. Came with avocado, soft shell and good amount of food. Way cheaper than Rico Rico and great experience like street food feel. Fast and efficient service and they also take card and Apple Pay now. read more

You know when you finally fall in love with your best friend? Here the whole time? Yeah me neither, cuz I have driven past this spot for YEARS! I didn't even know it was here. Blind to the deliciousness that has been mere blocks from work and right next to my bank (shoutout to Bridge Bank)! If you're lucky they haven't sold out of suadero and birria tacos! But you're still lucky even if they have because it's ALL good! Don't sleep on the salsa verde tho!!! No joke, I could drink it. read more

After roughly a month of being MIA Tacos La San Marquenna is back with what looks like a brand new truck and all the same great flavors. You know a taco truck knows what they're doing if they offer tripas, which is essentially a signal that they make Mexican food that actual Mexicans want to eat. A big fat tripas burrito or a plate of no less than 5 tacos are my usual choices. They also do nachos with your choice of meat, tortas too. They take Zelle, which is refreshing since most old school trucks are still cash only. There are plenty of places to eat downtown by the lake, great places even, so it really says something that this truck is still my number one choice for lunch, and it isn't even close, absolutely pushes Senor Sisig into the dust. read more

This is one of my fav taco trucks in the downtown area! Whenever I'm graving tripas tacos I go there. The tacos are always nice and crispy which I love. They usually have Latin music playing which I really appreciate. As a Dominican in the Bay it's always a surprise when I go to a place that's playing bachata, merengue and salsa and they always have the vibes. They are also super nice there. read more

I am rarely around these parts, but the other day, I had to drop off an associate to get a massage down the street. I was just taking a stroll while waiting, and came across the Tacos La San Marqueña (misspelled on Yelp) truck. Now, if anyone knows me, they know I can never pass up a good taco truck, and even though I wasn't that hungry, I just couldn't resist. Tacos are $2.50 apiece, which is standard, but the best part is that they don't upcharge for lengua or cabeza. Even better is that they have pescado! I initially placed an older for al pastor, cabeza, lengua, y pescado. Another perk is that even though they don't take credit cards, they do accept Zelle! Since I wasn't even planning on eating anything, I had no cash on me. The kind lady working the register patiently relayed to me all the information necessary to make a Zelle payment, and since it was my first time using it, I was fumbling around trying to figure it out while a long queue was brewing behind me. She then allowed me to take my time as they started on my tacos to not hold up the line. After a few minutes, I finally got the transaction to go through, and she was not the least bit annoyed or suspicious of my intentions. So, the main question is... how are the tacos? Well, I'll just say this. After wolfing down all four, I couldn't help but go back for two more! This is easily one of the top three taquerias I've patronized in the Bay Area! Meat is juicy, vegetables are fresh, salsa has that right level of kick, and tortillas are the perfect consistency. It is difficult to find that place that does everything properly! When I went back for seconds, this is when I knew that Tacos La San Marqueña has some of the best customer service in town. Guess what happened again? I was STILL having issues with Zelle, and the nice lady was still not frustrated by me whatsoever. She told me I could just pay whenever! What other establishment would even allow this? This time around, it took even LONGER to figure it out, and by the time my tacos were done, I was still poking about on the app. "No worries!" she told me! Any other unsavory character would have just bolted, but of course, my mama didn't raise me that way. When I was finally able to get through to the bank, I gave her and the staff a well deserved fat tip, and enjoyed two more of the best darn tacos I had the pleasure of devouring in a long time. Moving forward, although I am rarely ever in this neck of the woods, I would gladly drive the distance to get here even in rush hour traffic just for my fill of Tacos La San Marqueña. I'll just remember to bring some cash next time. read more

Came back to state some more knowledge. The sopes are just helluh good. They put beans , meat , cheese lettuce , onions and salsa. There are many places that fuck up a Sope, this place is not one of them. They have the formula right. If this was a episode of spongebob , plankton would try to be trying to steal the formula. To the hipsters and people who don't know bout Mexican food. You welcome lol read more

Working nearby, I'm happy to be able to enjoy this excellent taco truck that serves a wide range of tasty dishes. The friendly customer service and generous portions of homemade style Mexican food makes for a great combination. Most recently, I enjoyed asada and carnitas tostadas on Cinco de Mayo, and as usual, I was not disappointed. The fresh ingredients were fresh and the carnitas was particularly good with the right amount of fattiness, salt and flavors, although the asada was also tender and flavorful. The accompanying pickled vegetables and two salsas are good compliments to their dishes. So definitely worth checking out whenever In the area! read more
