I loved my breakfast burrito! Even if I could only eat half because it was so massive! Portion is big, prices are reasonable. I'd definitely come back if in the area. I think it's about 15 minutes away from the house. read more

This cart replaced the one that used to be here and while the breakfast burritos are not as good, the prices are better. One thing I did like was how ever they made the eggs, they were super good! Usually they are basic scrambled eggs, but now it's fluffy Carnitas burrito was stuffed and has beans and rice inside too read more

Taqueria Don Jose started a restaurant at this Taco Truck's first location but clearly the chef moved with the Taco Truck. Our family ages 92-22 all love the chef at this taco truck. It's still a taco truck along a busy street but Ma'n is it GOOD! read more

Definitely recommend this spot for tacos! Having lived in San Diego and eating tacos in Tijuana, finding a good spot for tacos has been hard in the Portland metro area. Currently, as I'm writing this, the tacos here range from $2-$2.75 each. Not a bad price for them especially since they load each taco with so much meat! The tacos were not greasy and all the meat was juicy, really loved that they added two corn tortillas per taco. When I try tacos for the first time somewhere, I always order the carne asada, lengua and Al pastor (adobada) tacos to see how it is. I also ordered some quesabirria tacos too since it seems to be popular here. The al pastor taco was probably my favorite it had a slight smokiness and spice to it. Generally I've found al pastor tacos at other places to lack the smokiness or spice in it, so really glad to eat this one! The lengua was good, light in flavor hit good amount of lengua and not dry. It was topped with cilantro and onion. The carne asada is a classic, they added cilantro, onion and some salsa on top which I liked. For the quesabirria tacos, they were decent. I personally preferred the other tacos more. The quesabirria tacos came with a side of consommé to dip the tacos in which I loved. For all the tacos, it came with some pickled jalapeños and carrots, some fresh sliced radish, fried jalapeño and sides of salsa. Will be coming back again for their tacos and to try some of the plates they offer. Also looks like they serve breakfast all day too. There's good amount of parking where this food cart is located. Also for the reviews that talk about the service to be bad, the people there were nice and friendly. There isn't much interaction with them besides ordering and getting your order. read more

Go to place for tacos! You can taste the flavor and authenticity in every bite! I love that they add pickled carrots, grilled onions & a roasted chile on the side with every taco order! 10/10 read more

Nice surprise! Traveling to Seattle, was hungry, stopped here instead of Burgerville. Got 2 carne asada tacos. Was really happy to see grilled Jalapeno and onions! Nice portions, tasty, just a little greasy. I should have taken a photo. Nice presentation, nice and syrupy to/go container. Overall great! read more

Amazing service, some of the best food I've had. You really get your moneys worth with the food quality and amount of toppings. Cant recommend this place more read more

When you order here mas send u the wrong location and address I called to order and there are two locations

Literally a hidden gem. Hard to find but once you find it, it is gold! Having lived in Los Angeles, I'm thrilled to find Don Jose serving tacos that taste just like home. The flavors are spot on, with savory meats and fresh toppings that transport me back to LA's vibrant taco scene. A must-visit for authentic tacos! read more

I ordered a carnitas enchilada plate- The rice was fine, nothing special. Beans were good. Portions were on the larger side. Enchilada sauce was good. Sadly the meat inside left something to be desired. There were pieces of dry shredded pork all throughout. Really dry, as though it had been sitting on a warmer far too long. Almost every bite had dried out pork :( My partner ordered the carne asada burrito. He said it had great flavor but sadly, there were pieces of dried out asada in his burrito. We went out of our way to try this food truck based on a friend's recommendation. Maybe it was an off day? Idk. I really wanted to like this place. I think I'll give it one more go and hope for better food quality. P.S. All the other reviews about the service being poor -- partner said the girl taking orders wasn't friendly at all but wasn't rude either. All business I guess. I can certainly overlook this if the food is amazing but well see what happens next time. read more

Please beware that the beans are not vegetarian - they are made with lard and they don't have any other vegetarian option. I gave a 3 star rating because the menu looked really good and the restaurant was clean. I just wish I could have eaten there. read more

This isn't about my experience eating there, it's more so about going there and they're closed when their site says it's open. I walked in but all the lights were off and 2 men where there staring at me like I was gonna rob the place. It's 2 pm! If you're not open, then lock your doors and change your sign from open to closed. Sheesh! read more

I ordered thru door dash. I ordered the Burrito Macho with cabaza and portion was huge and tasty. It was well worth my $10.00. Will definitely go back and try other items on the menu. read more

Taqueria Don Jose - Macho Burrito con cabeza. - Food Trucks Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I've been here a handful of times and I almost always get some sort of birria item. The only time I didn't get something I was happy with was when I ordered a chicken salad...it was watery and the chicken was dry. Honestly I'd still give them a four star review with that but I'm getting really sick of the young 20's gal taking the order. She's got such an attitude and it's getting really old to me. This place is good, although there are other places around that are good as well. read more

Have been passing by this place for the past year and it seems always busy. So, I finally decided to stop and try them. I opted for the Taco de Birria and they did not disappoint The meat was so flavorful and the tortilla dunked in all that goodness and then cooked crispy with yummy cheese! There is something for everyone on their menu and cooked fresh to order. Give them a try, it's worth it! read more

I was excited to find this authentic Mexican food in my neighborhood, so I got a couple things to try. I had one carnitas taco. It had a large amount of meat which was very well seasoned, a simple and delicious street taco. The a la cart cheese enchilada taco tried wasn't a something I'll reorder. I realize I like a wet enchilada, so it was kinda meh for me. I also ordered the #19 Pollo Asado for tomorrow, but had to try a nibble. It was really hard to stop eating as it was so fresh and flavorful. Beans and rice are always hit and miss based on what we each are familiar with. I happened to love their version of both. And, the corn tortillas were soft, and tasted like they'd just been made. Also, the portion size was generous. I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast burrito. I'm only bummed they're not open early enough for me to grab and go for my weekday commute. I highly recommend this awesome little food truck. read more

Do yourself a favor and stop by for a breakfast burrito! You will NOT be disappointed. Amazing food for an amazing price. Can't go wrong here. Their tacos are fire too. read more

Coming from LA, this Mexican food is fire. 10/10 recommend. Burritos are big, lots of meat. Great green salsa. Loads of flavor. Cheap prices. & they have breakfast! Do yourself a favor and try this place out! read more

Fresh ingredients go into these really good tacos! Fast service too. I'll be back to sample more from the menu.

People of the PNW... let me introduce you to fabulous Mexican food. Growing up in A city that borders Mexico, I was fortunate enough to experience both the beauty of Mexican culture and Mexican food. I have deeply missed the emersion in both, from my youth and I have to say I've been searching for the style of Mexican food I grew up with... and thank God I found this amazing gem! Fabulous tortillas, amazing quality meats (read: not the fatty, hard to chew, grossness that other taco shops, up here, tend to serve), large burritos, perfect ratios in your burrito and AMAZING HOT SAUCE! If spice isn't your thing they have a tasty green. However, for those of us that LOVE flavorful spice, the red is PERFECTION. Not to mention those working in the food truck were incredibly nice and the food truck is clean (I've seen some gnarly food trucks). I will be going out of my way to eat at here, from now on. read more

I live a couple blocks away and really enjoy the food, and would really enjoy having a nice neighborhood spot to go to... if only their customer service wasn't so bad. I always order my tacos with no cilantro and 20 or 25% of the time they put it on anyway (not a huge deal, but come on...) and when I bring the food back they treat me like I'm the ass hole for not just accepting it. Never offer any comp (I'm not trying to get free food but maybe offer an extra taco or soda... something).. never even offer an apology but instead sigh and look annoyed and slap together a new taco. Very disappointing read more

It wasn't terrible but wasn't good. I had the carnitas tacos, definitely needed more flavor. Couldn't eat it without needing sour cream guac and soaked in lime. Also got the birria tacos which I've never tried but can definitely say that they weren't good enough tho I had nothing to compare to. They gave us 2 little dried up limes for 10 tacos. The best thing there was the guac and I could've even made it better than there's. Wouldn't eat here again sadly read more

Walked up with no wait. Had a burrito in my hands 2 minutes later. No muss, no fuss. Fast, efficient, and tasty. 10/10 would eat again. Pastor burrito as good as any I have ever had. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident - what a happy a accident! I got the jumbo carne asada torta - it was AMAZING! They had a few covered benches outside for people to sit and I had my food within 10 minutes. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu based on the reviews! I'm from Las Vegas where we have great Mexican food and my family is Mexican so I know my stuff haha, this is one of the best places I've found in Vancouver for Mexican food. 10/10 read more

Excellent local burrito truck, best quick grab within walking distance, tasty food and quality authentic ingredients. Seems like they're always open, very generous hours! Not health food by any means, but really hits the spot if birria tacos or a breakfast burrito is what you need! read more

We got pastor tacos and birria ones too. The flavor is legit. Just like my dads cooking. Took me back to the little stands on the corner in Mexico with bomb ass food! Muy riquísima la comida! Customer service was good too. Speaking Spanish is there first language not sure how the lady was rude said in other reviews,since I didn't receive that. maybe a bad/long day? read more

Really good flavorful food. I had the chimichanga with pastor plate. Flavors were great, portion was solid. Their red sauce was a little spicier than expected, but delicious! read more

Been back a few times since my last review an I got to say they have since become more professional food is sorted better, bigger servings for the price the lady up front seems to be lil nicer still needs to be more welcoming in my opinion. Other than that I'm addicted to there taco's an will return read more

Horrible customer service! Lady in front has attitude issues!! We ordered a torta Asada and the Asada is dry like it's been sitting all day! They also over killed it with too much salt! The portion size of the torta was way too small! For the price I paid! Definitely don't recommend this place! You can find better tortas else where! read more

We tried the one on fourth plain by orchards park. Had the Al Pastor burrito and birria tacos. My wife had the lengua burrito. Both burritos were great but my only complaint was the birria dipping sauce. It was pretty oily and somewhat bland. I was expecting an explosion of flavor but unfortunately I was wrong. I will definitely come back here however and maybe give the tacos another try. Overall we're pretty satisfied read more

This is my favorite Mexican place. Food comes out quickly, staff are nice and I'm never disappointed. Carne asada, shrimp, Tacos are all wonderful! read more

I've drove by this taco stand so many times and today I decided to try the food, first thing was that the lady taking the orders didn't understand anything that I was saying and IMO I speak clear and fluent English (I asked how much a chicken burrito was), she said I'll have to wait, so ok I waited she gave me the price and upon counting the little money I had I realized that I was short, no problem I gave her my card and very clearly and respectfully said to take $6.69 off my card and I'd pay the balance in cash well she decided to take the entire amount off my card, I guess no big deal I'll just go to the bank and deposit the cash (I'm less than a half mile from home) but ok, so as I'm waiting for the food another customer walks up and orders his food no problem, she didn't say "huh", "or no understand" like she did to me the 3 times I interacted with her. So here's my problem , my burrito came and for 10 bucks it was small, barely any chicken and bland, burrito wasn't cut in half like I asked for, so overall it was terrible food and service, I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Tried this place today based on a recommendation from a friend. Delicious food. Very tasty. Very nice staff and a clean and well kept restaurant. Carne Asada burrito was delicious. My wife had an enchilada plate. Food was GREAT! read more

We've been back multiple times, and we cannot be happier with Don Jose being in the neighborhood. The tacos are great, the burritos (birria and pastor) are top notch, and the service is fast and friendly. There are still a number of other items (e.g. sopes) that I'd like to try. read more
