    Al pastor, carnitas, carne asada!
    P E.

    This taco truck is fairly new in Salida, so far their food is great. I tried a carne asada quesadilla and tripas tacos and they're were the bomb. I had tried the other taco trucks in the area and they are bleh! so I would drive to downtown Modesto just for some good tacos and burritos. I won't have to do that again!

    Pit stop on the way to Tahoe. Good asada tacos. Came with onions, cilantro, pickled carrots and jalapeños.

    First time I ever came to this place, but the meat was so dry. Driest asada I've ever had.

    I've tried the chicken burrito and asada tacos. All good so far and the salsa is awesome. Will be trying more.

    I always go and get their carne Asada fries. So we went today they ran out of fries so he suggested to try their nachos not too impressive.

    We first tried The Grizzly Bite in March 2025 at the Ripon Taphouse…read more We hadn't tried them before and were very excited to do so. They were yet on Yelp so I guess I'm the first review! Immediately, you notice the food truck is nicely decorated and visually appealing, the Grizzly bear featured very prominently. The name of the place doesn't give away the food, so for anyone wondering, they do burgers, chicken tenders, and chicken sandwiches. They also have the word Burgers visible on the outside of the truck. We were first in line and our order was promptly taken and the workers were all very friendly and seemed genuinely excited to greet and serve me. I opted for the double grizzly bite and I asked for jalapeños on it. It was a good choice! Very delicious and extremely filling, you won't be disappointed. Huge burger. I also enjoyed the side of fries, but for an additional $3, not sure that I enjoyed them well enough to justify the extra $3, for something that's normally included. Quick suggestion there: offer an optional seasoning or something that makes the fries pop and I think they would go a lot further! My wife ordered the chicken tenders with fries. She got 4 tenders and said they had great flavor and the fries were good. We had to ask for ranch on the side, but there were no issues there! All in all, 5/5 stars. Will definitely try them again!

    $21 for a basic (and just okay) burger and fries, no drink from the food truck. Wild.read more

    Had a great time trialing this food truck yesterday. We were at Last Call in Oakdale and needed…read morefood for the whole family. Two Korean steak bowls, o e teriyaki bowl, one loaded asada fries, smash burger and pulled pork sandwich. Everything was so tasty and delicious. Nice variety of a menu for so few options. We has ordered everything to go and did not eat for 20 minutes later and everything was still warm. Fries were crinkled and crispy jut the way I like them. Smash burger lived up to its reputation as an amazing entree. All and all a fantastic first time experience.

    We tried DA Fork in the Road in March 2025 at Dying Breed in Oakdale, we were there for a weekend…read moreevent and were excited to try this food truck. The truck decor is simple and shows their logo and name on the side of the truck. Their staff was friendly and kind. I walked up and my order was promptly taken, the menu had quite a lot to choose from and a great selection, My wife chose the Chicken Teriyaki bowl and she really liked that. She said the flavor was great all around. I also had a few bites and was really impressed. I also got the Western Smash burger, which tasted good but I thought could have used a little more bbq sauce to bring out the western in the name. I should have asked for jalapeños as well as j think this would have paired nicely. Flavor on the burger was good and the fries left a little to be desired as they were good but I think would have benefited from an optional seasoning, even if there was a slight charge. Something like Cajun, or garlic parm? Just a thought. Overall, I'd say 4/5 stars for this and will definitely be giving them more of our business!
