When you see there is always a line of Mexican people waiting for food, you know you should check out the place. I usually get their lengua tacos, and I recently tried their California burrito, I really like the crunchy fries in it my only complaint was the portion of carne asada in it, a little stingy in my opinion. I think I will stick to their tacos in the future

This place is probably the best Mexican food you can get in the San Mateo area. We got: 4 tacos - Carnitas, Al pastor, Asada, and chicken 2 agua frescas (strawberry) 1 churro 1 Cali burrito 1 carne asada quesadilla Everything was amazing! The agua Fresca wasn't too sweet and didn't taste artificial. The churro was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, perfectly seasoned and super fresh. The Cali Burrito was probably my favorite. Would totally recommend a stop here.

The people who work at the truck are always friendly, and the food is good. I usually get the lengua tacos and carne asada tacos, never goes wrong. Once in a while I also get the shrimp tacos, they are all delicious! They take orders online in case you are in a hurry,

Obsessed with this truck! They are parked in the same place everyday. I have had their tortas, sopas, burritos, and tacos. Everything is so flavorful and delicious. Portion sizes are generous, meat is generous, etc. Service is quick. Know where you're taking your food to eat though - they have a few stools, but there isn't any seating around this area from what I know.

I don't normally write reviews, however they deserve the highest ratings I can provide. Professional,responsive and high quality Mexican food. They helped me make my Daughters catered Baby Shower a successful and enjoyable event that will not be forgotten. Do yourself a favor and try them out.

Finally found this truck after reading the great Yelp reviews. Super nice folks working here. I was excited to try a tlayuda for the first time since it's not something I've seen on menus before, and it was really tasty. My SO ordered the huarache plate and he gave it a thumbs up as well. I'm for sure coming back to try their sopes and mole as well. I'm on a quest.
