    Tacos (Carne Asada and Chorizo).
    Kenneth N.

    My co workers had been talking about a highly recommended taco truck. Their initial recon of the truck had a long line and wait but they said it was worth it. I was craving tacos and brought the three amigos with me to Tacos Santiaguito. We came at the right time, no line and no wait. The menu was straight up and didn't have weird trendy items. I ordered three carne asada tacos and one chorizo. I was then asked how much cilantro I wanted which was awesome. Too much can be overbearing. The tacos were spot on and very well balanced. The tortilla was pliable but still crispy. The chorizo was rich in flavor but not overbearingly salty, nor greasy (that means it's healthy to eat right?...). The carne asada had that tender flavor but had just the right amount of char and was not dry. I definitely recommend this truck to team-carnivore types and will be returning to try their burrito and their alambre.

    Tacos Santiaguito... I am so thrilled with your second truck location! This truck is parked at the Shell gas station on the corner of Campbell and Bascom. They're here every day except for Wednesdays. Unlike their first truck over off Saratoga Avenue, there isn't a 30-minute wait. This can only be attributed to the newness of the location because the food is tasty. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos... And every type of meat. There are 3 different salsas ranging in heat. (The green is my favorite.) there also radishes and jalapeños available. Just ask for a Baggie or plastic ramekin to bring 'em home. The tacos are average in size, but serve up more meat than most places. The quesadillas are cut into fourths served with crema fresca and guacamole. Definitely have the onions and cilantro added to both. The burritos are large and in charge. "Food so great, you'll lick your plate."

    It seems that the one just across the street is way more popular. Dont know why cause when i went there the meats where all under seasoned. Going to this one only one oer person was in line with me. Lengua, buche and pastor were all solid. The tortillas got a bit soaked through so it was a bit messy. Wish they had heated them a bit more. Next time ill ask them to crisp it up, otherwise the proteins are way better seasoned than their other truck across the way

    Best tacos I've ever had but they could be a little more sanitary when preparing the food because my boyfriend did find a price of rolled of duct tape in his tacos. Very disgusting for that but I did enjoy their spicy hot sauces.

    The best salsa and tacos ever!!

    The best tacos and burritos ever!!!! Muy husband and I love coming here. I even recommended this delicious taco truck to my co workers and they weren't disappointed. Spicy salsa, flavored food. You just can't go wrong with Santiaguitos.

    We were watching a cooking show and the challange was Tacos. Obviously, after the show, we had to go and get some. Embarked on a taco- tasting adventure . The first place we wanted to try was closed, so we ended up here. Nice clean taco truck, parking is easily accesible.quick service. $2.50 tacos. Tortillas were nice and crispy. Salsas on point, meat was cooked and seasoned well. Tried asada and masisa. They accept card, would go again if in the area

    My favorite taco truck in West San Jose is hands down Tacos Santiaguito…read more I have been sending taco fiends here for about a decade now. Located right off of N Saratoga ave, between hwy280 and Stevens Creek blvd, on the east aide of the street. You will find this gem in the evenings. This place has all the meats that a down foo was raised on, but my go to is always the Al Pastor! Perfectly marinated, huge portions, and even with the pineapple and sautéed onions deliver an amazing plate experience. Now what puts these guys a league above! You get to put your own choice of up to 3 different salsa's. Green and flavorful, orange habanero heat, or spicy red pepper goodness. Ample extras of radish, jalapeño, or onions and habanero slices for the folks who just have guts of steel. This place has such a following, there have been times when I was 10 people deep waiting in line to order. They are quick, yet always tasty. Give your tastebuds a treat!

(Roughly under $4 per taco, I had a slightly lower price at night) Tacos Santiaguito is conveniently located in a huge parking lot off Saratoga Ave and Stevens Creek Blvd. During the day around noon, there's a different truck parked here that I personally prefer. I first stopped by a few weeks ago and ordered the cabeza, lengua, and tripa. The lengua was tough, the cabeza was decent, and the tripa was bland. I went home ready to type up a review, but after reading that they're better known for their al pastor, asada, and campechanos, I decided to hold off and give them the benefit of the doubt with a second visit. Stopped by again tonight, and unfortunately, they're consistently average at best. The workers looked like they didn't really want to be there on either visit, they're pretty skimpy with a strict two-sauce-cup maximum, and none of the meats really stood out. Out of the six tacos I've tried here, the cabeza and al pastor were the best. However, the bar is pretty low. It's a textbook 3/5, wouldn't make a special trip out.

    Unique food truck in Bay Area! This isn't just a food joint but it's an experience!…read more Vegetarian reviewer: To start with, I am not usually a big fan of too many eggs on my plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed their innovative creations. They have interesting dishes with paneer and chicken as well. We ordered two dishes- Leela lasun keema - This dish was intriguing, with cheese, grated egg, and a rich, spicy gravy. The portion size was generous; a single person won't be able to finish it with just three breads. It was very filling, we took back home the leftover and enjoyed it later with some rotis. They have another version of this- "kachu" with runny eggs instead of grated eggs.. well thought option! Volcano egg biryani- The dish is as interesting as its name suggests. The base is an omelette, and the rice is flavorful with bell peppers, finely chopped veggies, and aromatic spices. The center is with a tomato-based curry. The cheese on the side was amazing, and I loved it. The spicy guava drink is super refreshing with a playful mix of spice, salt, sourness, and the sweetness of guava. I really enjoyed it! They have music playing and the place is lit, creating a total vibe for spending time in the evening on a lazy weekend/ after work, or post-workout. The food is pure indulgence and covered our protein requirements with eggs, along with some fat to burn off. Kinda guilt free. Also, they have games, garba events and other many interesting things going on at different times. Superb vibes, never disappoints! Conveniently located in Sunnyvale - easy to find parking. Ask the owners for their recommendations based on your preferences. They are very nice to talk to and are super passionate about this truck, having brought something they loved from New York to the Bay Area.

First off, parking was free and they have an open lot. We were surprised by the ambiance. It felt like a cute dhaba vibe with tables, chairs and string lights. We got dahi puri, sev puri, vada pav, poha. The chaats came out first. Both of them were delicious. The spice level was pretty high so if you can't handle spice, something to communicate to them while placing the order. The vada pav was fresh and tasty. It came with tamarind and green chutney. We liked the chaats so much that we also got the samosa chaat. The portion size was good and it was packed with flavor. Lastly, we got poha. It tasted authentic and the poha was soft and seasoned well. Overall, we had a great experience and I highly recommend checking out this food truck. You won't be disappointed!

Here's what I've tried so far, and every single dish has been a hit: * Masala Chai - warm, perfectly spiced, tastes like it's brewed with care * Masala Chaas - refreshing and tangy, exactly how it should be * Egg Bhurji Pav - soft, buttery pav with flavorful, perfectly spiced egg bhurji * Paneer Bhurji Pav - a great veg alternative, equally rich and satisfying * Kolhapuri Misal Pav - bold, spicy gravy with great depth of flavor, a standout * Paneer Tikka Wrap - smoky, well-marinated paneer with just the right amount of kick Everything tastes authentic, not a watered-down version made for the Bay Area -- this genuinely feels like Mumbai street food. The consistency across such a varied menu really says something about how well-run this truck is. If you're craving real Mumbai street food in the South Bay, stop scrolling and just go. I'll be back again soon to keep working through the rest of the menu!
