    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

    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!!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    I started coming here in 2015. According to Yelp, I've been here 21 times at the time of writing…read morethis--somehow that surprised me (and means I've basically paid for "long-term testing" at this point, and that has been pretty fun.) Naturally, I've noticed some changes. Over the years, happy hour times have been reduced, prices have crept up to a point where the value doesn't quite match the food, and it definitely feels like the truly vegetarian options have disappeared from the happy hour menu. I eat fish, but I'm often dining with others who are vegetarian only, so this has a bigger impact than it might for most people. The magic that used to bring me back seems to be gone. That said, the patio is a great environment for a family meal, and the staff was genuinely friendly and attentive--so at least the vibes are still doing their job. I ordered a Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was grilled nicely and tasted good, but it was a little undercooked in the center--like it was still waiting for the rest of the food to catch up. And the salad itself didn't really taste like a Caesar--more like a "Caesar-adjacent" salad... which, honestly, I guess is a thing now. Also, I used to order the cheese enchilada from the happy hour menu, but it's no longer offered. This was a favorite option for me, and at least one person in my party always ordered it. The banquet space remains impressive, and it's a fun, festive environment for large parties--it's great for celebrating after graduation--something we've done more than once!

Plenty of in door and out door seating. You can call in or order on line and pick up food at the take out window outside. You place your order, find a seat and enjoy. Employees are very nice. Helpful. Great salsa bar. I had 2 sopes , one chicken, the other asada delicious. Rice and beans were good. Also tried a beef hard shell taco. Again delicious. Wife had a chile relleno plate and she loved it. My fried had a huge nacho plate and two tacos. Food is fresh as if you were eating at a family gathering. Restaurant is clean. A few tv s. Didn't get a beer maybe next time, enjoyed a Jamaica. Looking forward to going back!

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.

The good news is that they have a nice new open-air, covered back patio. The bad news is the cost. $18 for a Margarita that was less than 5 ounces after you take out the ice. Then $29 for a scoop of rice and beans, a cheese enchilada and a shredded beef enchilada. They don't serve my favorite anymore, which was a ground beef enchilada. Plus tax, and then $10 for parking at 3:00 p.m. on a Sunday. Over $60 for what cost them under $5 to prepare. This is not the Casa I loved, and the attitude of the white servers was as though I was making them work, while the Hispanic servers were friendly, efficient, and totally embarrassed by the costs. I understand the higher prices to give the work staff better pay. But management has dumped all of those costs onto the customer without taking a slight profit hit. The founders would be ashamed of the new management, and rightly so. Casa Vega is now on my never-to-return list. Breaks my heart.
