Carne asada regular quesadilla
Erick H.

Food truck delusion is upon us. This regular carne asada quesadilla was $20. No combo, no side, no drink, no dessert. Just a flat quesadilla. I asked for extra carne asada just to get a recent amount of it, that elevated the price from $12 to $20. The food is okay, but the prices are crazy. The point of going to a food truck is to get cheaper food. Let's keep that in mind please.

honestly really liked this truck apart from the food, the staff there are hardworking and kind people. it was parked outside one of the apartments and the owner went into the apartment to give the front desk staff some free food. i felt like that was a kind gesture and very telling of their character. the food is also really great. we got the macho nachos which was LOADED and fed me for three meals and the aztec burrito with mild sauce. the burrito was HUGE. the flavors are great too and they load up on the toppings

I almost went back to this food truck on the same day, I was just too lazy to walk back up the hill near 5th and Grand. I ordered two tacos, a spicy chicken with corn and a carne asada. Both were bursting with freshness and flavors. Their tacos are made from corn rather than flour. Definitely worth trying.

We hired 5 Elementos for a college graduation party, June 2025. First off the food was absolutely amazing! We had access to the entire menu and the churros were the best we've ever had. Service was perfect. We live in Massachusetts so had to do our planning from afar and Jeries made the whole process effortless. 5 Elementos loves what they do and it shows. I can't imagine having a better experience than we had. I'm still receiving texts and emails from our guests commenting about "the food truck!!!" Thank you Jeries and the whole 5 Elementos team!!!

So happy we ran into 5 Elementos by chance! OG Tacos - Fried Shrimp & Carne Asada

Best food truck in LA! Seriously. I had never had 5 Elementos, but came across them when researching possible catering options for my wedding. We had about 100 guests with varying dietary restrictions including gluten free, vegetarian, and pescatarian. Finding a solution that was also cost efficient was difficult UNTIL I found 5 Elementos!! Jeries runs the business and as soon as we inquired I knew we found our guy. He was very communicative about logistics and worked with our Wedding Day of Coordinator team to come early as to not distract once the Ceremony started. I think this is important because we had them booked on Cinco de Mayo so their schedule was absolutely packed that day. Jeries knew I was also stressed over the presentation of the food in terms of plates so they got the most adorable "boats" to serve the bowls in and I could not have been happier. In terms of the food - OUTSTANDING! All of their menu is built to be gluten free & vegan to start and then you can add on proteins or non-vegan cheese. Personally I don't have any dietary restrictions, but everyone who did told me the food was really really good and made our wedding a hit. During the wedding I ate the Fajita Bowl w/ Chicken Al Pastor and my husband had the Shrimp tacos. Both were amazing and I wish I had had more time to try everything else haha Luckily, we ran into Jeries and the 5 Elementos team 2 weeks after our wedding by luck! He instantly remembered us and gave us a warm welcome :) During this time I got to catch up on all the other food they had to offer and actually sit down to enjoy it all without entertaining during the wedding. The food was just as good as I remembered it and even better! My husband also tried the Fuego Salsa they offer and let me tell you - it does NOT mess around. You've been warned - fuego does in fact mean HOT! Proceed at your own risk ;) They also post their schedule on their website of where they are going to be, so make sure follow it and you too can have amazing Mexican food! I know I'll keep following along for sure and thank you so much to 5 Elementos for making our wedding so so special!!

Delicious food, friendly service, and contact free payments/ordering. I love that I could order and pay from the kiosk outside the truck. They make it easy to personalize your order. You can easily ask for ingredients to be added or removed. I ordered the Cali Dream Burrito, which was huge and jam packed with flavor. It contained crispy seasoned fries, Pico de Gallo, jalapeño crema, chipotle crema, guacamole, and your choice of protein. I had mine with Impossible meat. My burrito was so delicious! The fries inside the burrito were really tasty. This truck offers something for everyone--meat options, and plenty vegetarian and vegan options too. The couple running this truck were so nice and the turn around time was fast. Thank you! I can't wait to eat here again!

Thick chips and guac
Matthew M.

Amazing food truck! Food is fresh, staff is friendly, and overall great experience. Fajita bowl with cheese was delicious. Chips were thick, crunchy, and served with guac. Food was made quickly and reasonably priced. They offer catering, which I highly recommend for your next gathering. Didn't try the elote but will next time. Thanks for an excellent lunch, highly recommend!

Carne asada tacos were so delicious .
Camille R.

Great fresh food . Friendly service . The food truck is really cute . I ordered the carne asada tacos with cilantro , Monterey cheese , onions and green sauce . Best food truck tacos I've had in a long time and reasonably priced . Great presentation too .

Tryna find the meats
David C.

Thought it looked good but very bland. Ordered chicken burrito only to find 5-6 pieces of chicken inside. Very stingy with their protein. Literally paid $15 for a rice and bean burrito. Don't do it. Not worth it. Their rice : bean : meat ratio is all off. Lol.

Is the meat real or is it vegan meat?

The meat is real but the jackfruit is a vegan meat alternative. I believe everything, sauces and all, are vegan here except for the meat.

5* Food 5* Service 5*…read moreAmbiance Easy, flavorful and casual, this is a great spot for tacos, bowls, and appetizers. You order at the counter, and everything is brought right to your table. The space is clean and rustically designed, with tasteful decor and food that's loaded with flavor. Best of all, they serve beer and margaritas! They make it easy to enjoy a quick, delicious meal with a fun drink to turn an ordinary day into something special. We tried both the watermelon and mint with cucumber margaritas, which were cold and refreshing. They weren't particularly strong on the alcohol, but had just enough of a kick to make it feel like a little party. We especially enjoyed the flour quesadillas. We added mushrooms for an extra $3, and they were absolutely worth it! The flour tortilla was perfectly flakey and crispy, while the creamy, nutty cheese, a touch of spice and earthy mushrooms came together to create the perfect bite. The birria beef tacos featured raw onions, which added a nice contrast to the rich, savory flavors. The beef and beans were wrapped in a roasted Anaheim chile and corn tortilla, creating a satisfying combination. Thankfullly, there was more beef than beans, making this a hearty, protein rich meal. We also tried the spicy garlic shrimp, served with beans, cabbage, cilantro, a special white sauce and salsa. Lighter than the beef tacos but equally flavorful, it was a delicous alternative with a nice balance of freshness and spice. This is an ideal spot for a quick, casual meal when you want something satisfying without a long wait. Fairly priced, full of flavor and made even better with a refreshing margarita or beer, it's a simple pleasure worth enjoying!

"Con Todo!"…read more Absolutely love this place. We stumbled upon this spot on a Sunday before going to the Farmer's Market across the street. With the intention of just enjoying a refreshing michelada, we couldn't help but try the tacos. AMAZING. The staff is very friendly and the food was definitely made with love. There's also plenty of space outside for the little one to walk around, a huge plus!

It isnt necessarily the kind of place you would go out of your way for, but as a local gem when you're looking for mexican food. The menu is rather short, but pick randomly and you will be sure to be happy with what you selected. I opted for the duck tacos, and it was very satisfying considering you're served with just two tacos on a plate. Very simple but prepared to near perfection from the tortilla up to the sauce. The guac was freshly made and the salsa is with roasted tomatoes both seemingly made in house. Sometimes a 5 star review can reflect a place you go out of your way for, go back to multiple times. This 5 star review is simple as most of their offerings. Everything just done right. I was unable to provide pics because most of all the vibe and venue is for family or for dates and we all had a great time i didnt even remember to take pics and post my review until after dinner.

Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

My favorites are the KILLER HOT and the SHARKY'S salsas. Their AVOCADO salsa is also very tasty. GO-TO FAVES include the Grilled Fish Taco on a corn tortilla. Seasoned and grilled to perfection on a regular basis. I get mine with no Pico de Gallo as I like to layer on some very hot salsa instead (KILLER HOT) and I get it without the cheese to keep it lower in fat and calories. NEVER disappoints. Their Nachos are a treat when I'm breaking my diet. :) Shrimp Tacos are really good as are the protein plates which can be customized and are a very healthy, well-prepared meal every time. You order at the counter -- and a nice touch is they ask if you want chips while you wait. Their water is also a nice touch -- it's got lemon, cucumber, etc. in the water which gives it a refreshing spa-like feel. They also have really good iced tea. You grab your own beverages and I highly recommend both the water (free!!) and the iced tea. The staff here is wonderful -- an active management team that works the floor, checks in on guests, and generally just makes everyone feel welcome, along with the hard-working kitchen team and the young team that takes the orders and puts together the take-away options. They are a smooth-running, very friendly and kind operation there. I love Sharky's. I grew up in this area and remember when it was Twain's. Sharky''s is a great addition to the area - good, solid Mexican food with plenty of healthy options. Something for anyone in your group here.

That gets directed to a vm where i leave a message saying "hi I'm calling from the front of your restaurant trying to get someone to pickup the phone but I guess that won't work so I'll just hang up and see if someone comes over". A few seconds later the host walks over. I brush off the cobwebs that formed on me while I was waiting and go to the table. It took about 10 minutes to get our drink order- iced tea, peach margarita, coke. Margarita and coke came out 5 minutes after the tea. The margarita had ZERO taste of any alcohol so take out a loan if you wanna drink enough of these to get a buzz. I got the lobster enchilada for the first time.
