    two tacos on a plate
    Jack R.

    Tacos conveniently located outside of CVS pharmacy in the small strip mall that houses Starbucks and Sees Candy. The truck isn't always there, but when it is the food is fast and friendly. The carne asada tacos were decent, it just needed more flavor or spices to the meat andi found the soft tortilla to be really dry and chewy. $2 per tacos.

    This one of the tastiest taco trucks you can find on the Peninsula. Among the standard meats there's also suadero, which is crispy and I really enjoy. Additionally this is conveniently located, where you can shop at CVS while you wait. The tacos here are on the pricey side, at $3 apiece. Burritos are more reasonable at $10 for a super, and you get a drink to go with it too.

    Walk on up and order!

    I have pasted by this food truck for over 4 months and I just recently was able to finally stop by. I have always been a bit skeptical about food trucks but I was hungry and decided why not give this one a chance. I had always noticed that the lines are fairly long here around lunch time so I figure it must be good or at least decent. When I arrived to grab lunch I noticed that the line had died down and there was no waiting which is always a plus. The menu prices are posted on the side of the truck as well as pictures which always helps. I could be wrong but I believe this food truck is a family owned business, I may be wrong. I wasn't looking too deep into the menu seeing as I was very hungry, I ordered my burrito and then proceeded to wait for the food the be prepared. One of the cool things about this food truck is that you can see the preparation of your food from the lawn if you stand up high enough. I think the recommendation is to park in the lot that is parallel to the curb where the truck is parked. I thought that this area would be heavily congested due to the truck but it is relatively easy to get in and out around the afternoon. The food was great. I ordered a super burrito and all was well with the flavor. I only wished that I had asked for black beans instead of the refried beans. I wound up paying $9.00 and some change for the burrito. Not bad for what you are getting. I wouldn't mind subscribing to this place regularly if I'm in the area. This place could save your life if you are looking to get something quick and fast to go either for yourself, the office, or the family. #FoodToGo

    This afternoon, May 2, 2026, I decided to try out a local spot for Afghan food since it's been a…read morefew months since I last had kabuli pulao. I ordered the kabuli pulao and a Coke for pickup through DoorDash, planning a tidy lunch to enjoy near the bay once I got off work. When I arrived at the food truck, the gentleman working there unfortunately informed me that the items I had just ordered were sold out. He kindly suggested an alternative of tikka kabob, which I gladly accepted. The tikka kabob was tasty and well-seasoned, delivering a satisfying depth of flavor with each bite. The rice was fragrant with softly shredded carrots and raisins, adding subtle sweetness and texture that complemented the smoky kabob nicely. A generous addition on top of my order were complimentary Watani fries, drizzled with a sauce reminiscent of a tangy chimichurri. The food truck itself sits in the same lot as the mosque in Burlingame, which is a convenient spot to park. It's also just a couple of blocks away from the bay shore as well, making the entire experience easy to fit into a pleasant outing for lunch by the water: While I initially sought kabuli pulao, the recommended tikka kabob turned out to be a great alternative. The flavors were strong, the rice provided a nice counterpoint, and the chimichurri-like sauce on the fries was a standout touch. Service was friendly and kind. Definitely open to trying the original kabuli pulao on a future trip, but I'd gladly rely on the team's thoughtful substitutions again. Overall, this place was lovely and definitely will return again.

Every single item was nothing short of amazing, full of flavor, and perfectly served. They do big portions here. They make the fries fresh here and you can taste it. They put alot of tlc into their food which is why it can take a bit. Only thing forgotten yesterday was chutney, and we missed it with every item. We will have to go back and try more again soon.

    10/10 El Ranchito…read moretaco truck is next-level amazing. I stopped by for three tacos--chicken, pastor, and carnitas--and they were so good I immediately went back for more this time dealers choice and he gave me his favorite pastor and the shredded beef. That alone should tell you everything. The quality of the food is outstanding. The meat is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, yet somehow not heavy at all. Zero excess fat (which is a huge pet peeve of mine), just clean, fresh, perfectly cooked meat. Every bite tasted intentional and made with care. The owner/chef, Z, is one of the kindest and most compassionate people you'll meet. You can genuinely tell how much love he puts into his food. He even took the time to ask how much I enjoyed everything, which says a lot. I'll absolutely be back--and if I don't see the truck, I'm calling the number and tracking him down. The truck itself was spotless and well stocked with chips, drinks, peanuts, and treats. I also noticed he offers burrito bowls (so cool) and an unbeatable meal deal: 2 tacos with rice and beans for $10.... You truly can't beat that. Thank you, Z, for an unforgettable Taco Tuesday. The bar has officially been set very high.

    The lights and the huge food truck drew me in bookmark this. So I finally had time to come here a…read morefew weeks ago to satisfy a late night taqueria craving. My wife got the super burrito and I decided on the super quesadilla. There was about 3-4 people in front of me waiting for food. Waited for about 5 minutes before I got my food. After the drive home, my food was still hot as if it was just served. Chips still crunchy and salsa still chilled. My super quesadilla had really good taste and flavor, but the portion for me just didn't do it. Looked small, felt small and weighted much less compared to my wife's super burrito. The outside slices held together but the middle slices fell apart fast despite using Dos manos (two hands). Basically same price as the super burrito but less food. The super burrito however, this is one of the better tasting burrito's I've had. Cheesy, flexible but crunchy tortilla, flavorful carne asada. Freshness from the pico de gallo, slight kick from the salsa. Overall just a really good burrito. Highly recommend. I definitely will try other things on their menu next time. The question I always ask myself after trying a new place is "would I come back here?". For the super quesadilla, no. For the burrito and to try other things, definitely.

The beef is unbelievably juicy, and the consommé is so rich and flavorful that I always end up drinking the leftover dip like soup. It's that good! Even my 7-year-old picky-eater can eat three of these in one sitting! The truck used to park by Safeway in Millbrae but moved because of construction. One day I was seriously craving their birria, so I drove up and down El Camino until I finally found them in San Bruno, about half a block from the Arco gas station near Santa Lucia Avenue. (Address on Yelp is correct. Google Maps is wrong.) Totally worth the hunt!

    Horrible experience. I am reviewing this several months after my experience with this food truck…read more I'll be honest, I never got to taste their food. I wanted to, I was excited. You see, I had just started working here at SFO when I heard about the FILIPINO food truck parked just outside the departures area. I went to the location during lunch to order. I was disappointed when I found out that they only took cash. That wasn't the problem. The problem was how cold the lady working at the order window was. She basically non-verbally shrugged me off when I asked questions and I left. Didn't say a word and ignored me. I vowed never to go back. If someone can't even treat you with respect when you ask questions, doesn't matter how good the food is, it isn't worth giving them your money. If you are an employee - or even not, not sure about the policy for non-employees - there is a cafeteria for employees in the International Terminal just a short walk from this food truck's location. Go there. They have decent food for a good price including my go-to when I want rice. Their loco-moco is decent at a great price. And the Filipino employees are a lot nicer and kinder than that lady working at the food truck.
