My coworker tipped us off to Amelia's Kitchen food truck as a hidden, underappreciated gem in Fremont and it's true! Amelia and Juan don't skimp on their taco offerings. 4.7 stars on Yelp and 4.5 on Google for good reason. The cheesy gordita crunch at Taco Bell inflation pricing pales next to a freshly made Amelia's Taco Dorado (crunchy taco shell in a soft taco tortilla with the works of meat, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and her own salsa). The Tacos Supreme come with guac and sour cream and they also have regular tacos. We've also tried the al pastor fries and al pastor nachos. The carne asada fries are on our list to compare. TIP 1: They're listed as open on weekdays between 10 AM and 6 PM, but call to check as they sometimes close early when they sell out. TIP 2: Call ahead to give your order to Juan so you can pay, pickup and go (or pay and eat at one of their picnic tables). We've ordered ahead while a few exits away on 880 and also at the EPA end of the Dumbarton bridge. read more

I've seen this truck on my drive home on numerous occasion. It always seemed busy too. I finally gave it a try and it was really good. I got the vegetarian supreme burrito and the vegetarian supreme taco. What I liked best about the burrito was the flavoring of the rice. I think this rice had the best consistencies and definitely flavors. So yum! The refried beans were good and I like how they placed the burrito on the grill so there was a nice cooked element to the tortilla. The vegetarian taco was good too. It was really messy because of the loaded guacamole, beans and sour cream, but it was really delicious. Glad I came here and if I ever need a quick fix, this is a place I think I can rely on. read more

5 YEARS LATER! Still going here! Still top quality! Wonderful People! Highly recommend!! My favorites - Taco Dorado and Nachos. My wife loves the tacos. read more

Amazing food, great prices and wonderful service. This is my secret go to spot for authentic Mexican food at a great price. My favorites are the shrimp tacos dorado (it's a hard taco within a soft taco) and their shrimp/lengua burrito. Can't forget the Jarritos or Horchata. Also why this place is my favorite Mexican spot: the hot sauce. They have homemade hot sauce that is actually spicy. 5/5 WOULD RECOMMEND! read more

Honestly, the 4 tacos supremes I had were some of the best tacos I ever had! Can't say enough about the positive experience and feeling I savored for each bite. Amelia's Kitchen is my go to if I need something to bite on a weekday. read more

Ngl best tacos I've tasted in a long time. Great food! The service was cool and friendly as well.

By far my favorite Mexican spot, located next to Regan nursery on Decoto. Their operating hours are super limited but if you're able to make it to their truck, I promise you won't be disappointed. All their meat options, especially the carne asada are excellent. Their chorizo breakfast burritos are also 10/10. Give them a try. read more

Now this is a Taco Truck!!! Mom and Pop running the joint. The food was fast, fresh and delicious! The taco dorado is the star of the show here. Crunchy where it needs to be, soft and chewy everywhere else. I have driven by the place a bunch for work and will now be making continual rounds! (The salsa verde is smacking!!!!) read more

When I say fantastic I mean I'd give them 100 so good. Salsa is so damn good I'd buy it by itself . Wish they were open longer and weekends because if I could eat and not get fat I'd eat here every day read more

This is our only go-to taco truck place. Aside from its only 3 minutes away from home, the food here is really good, too. I love all the salsa, too (happy face) read more

My favorite taco truck in the tri city! Meat portions are great and not fatty. Salas is fire. Food is always delicious never bland as Amelia truly seasons her meat. My typical go to order for the family is carne/Cameron burrito, chicken tacos, and chicken burritos. We eat here at least once a week because the flavor is so good and lone to support a small business. Also great that the truck is a 1 min drive from our house. read more

Amelia's Kitchen - 3 super burritos and chicken tacos regular - Food Trucks Near Me - Fremont, California

Stopped at Regan's to shop for some roses and noticed that this highly rated taco truck was parked next door. Decided to give it a whirl. Ordered tacos dorado (a crispy shell and a soft torilla with melted cheese in between), one asada and one al pastor. They were a tad on the salty side, but were the perfect balance of succulent, juicy and crisp. I couldn't get the best read on the flavor of the proteins since there were so many elements going on, but I didn't come across any pieces of gristle so that is a good sign that they are using quality product. Recommended. read more

This place is so good you should definitely not go so that I don't have to wait longer to get my food. Have gone more times than I can count and one of the better spots (if not the best spot) in this area. read more

If I could give this place 10 'a I would. The service is 10 out of 10 and the food is fantastic. From the tacos, burrito's, nachos, quesadillas and the dorado taco's the flavor is so good and has the perfect spice. My husband showed me this truck and I have wanted it every week since. Today I ordered a pretty big order for my coworkers and when I drove off they immediately called me and told me they forgot to add my burrito. They offered to drive it all the way to my work but I was only down the street so I made my way back to the truck. Mr. Garcia was so kind, that when I pulled up he was outside waiting with my order in hand and he even added a few extra things because I had to come back. To me this shows true hospitality. Most places would never of called to let me know I forgot my burrito. So if you see this truck just know it is a must stop! read more

This is my go-to spot for mexican food in Fremont. I have been trying new spots for years around where I live and this is the one place I keep coming back to. I love love love their supreme tacos and the service is top tier. read more

My favorite place to get tacos in Newark/Fremont. I've been on a tripas binge but not many restaurants offer tripas as a menu item. Luckily, this food truck does have it and although I like more crunch on my tripas, the tripas taco is still super delicious. I haven't tried the burritos or torta from this place. My friends who have tried the burritos have said that the burritos are ok, but the tacos are excellent. Definitely a must try! The downside of this place being a food truck is that sometimes they do catering and so you'll find that the food truck isn't at its normal spot. After two trips of the truck not being there, I've made it a habit to call beforehand to verify that the truck is on it's normal spot on Decoto. So far, I've tried 7 taco spots in the Newark/Fremont area and these tacos take the top spot! Go try some! read more

We were invited to Serena L's baby shower picnic in Washington Manor Park in San Leandro, and Amelia's Kitchen did all of the cooking! Apparently you can hire them for a few hours as an impromptu buffet. We arrived a bit later than most other guests, so we definitely went to town! Amelia's is definitely one of the better taco trucks I've been to. Here's a run down: 1. Their chicken tacos are among the best. Meat was moist and seasoned, and all it takes in a squirt of line, onions, cilantro for an awesome taco. It helps that the little thin corn tortillas were hot off the griddle! 2. My next favorite were the steak tacos, while the least favorite was the pork. These were not carnitas,but rather grilled pork meat that was on the dry side. You definitely need sauce to go with it. The steak on the other hand, was solid. 3. Lastly, on a hot day (actually ANY day), wash it all down with some of their excellent Horchata. Sweet, milky, and if you drink the last bit of it you'll taste the cinnamon. Definitely a fan of Amelia's Kitchen. Looks like the truck is based out of Fremont and Hayward. They are definitely great for catering! read more

Update 4/2: There's much more outdoor seating now behind the truck which is safer away from the street. I plan on taking my dogs with me next time to enjoy my tacos in the beautiful weather we are having! I'm also happy they set up a trash bin for customers! And if you're tight on schedule, call Juan in advance to place your order. read more

Okay! I thought I had eaten at all the best Mexican joints. A friend turned me onto this taco truck. It teases me. When I see it there and know what I'm going to eat in a few hours, suddenly she is gone. I love this truck. Should you see her parked and serving, I suggest eating. read more

Yummy! Meat was a little over cooked but overall super delicious. And close by to the freeway read more

THE best tacos in Fremont/Newark area!! I have spent the last month trying out different taquerias and taco trucks in the Fremont/Newark/UC area hoping to find my go-to taco spot. Each spot I would try i'd leave feeling like the tacos were tasty but something was still missing. It was missing that deliciousness where the slight greasiness full of flavor aftertaste would leave you feeling satisfied. My little taco tour has brought me to Mi Lindo Sinaloa, Fire Food Truck, Mr. Taco, Ofelias, and Fiesta Mexicana food truck. Amelia's was my most recent visit and definitely the best. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos, 2 al pastor tacos, and 1 carne asada amelia's taco dorado. I went with spice level spicy and left with a container of tacos that were predressed with two salsas (one red and one green). The meat was packed with flavor and juiciness. The slight grease ran into the corn tortilla making me want to finish every bite of tortilla (sometimes to low carb I try to split the two tortillas into one and eat a meatier taco). Everything about the tacos just worked out from the flavor of the meat, the residual grease, fresh crunch from the onions and cilantro, and the well prepared corn tortilla. The al pastor meat was slightly more flavorful when it came to the taco, but in the future will still order both meats for variety. The Amelia's Taco Dorado was hearty for $5 it included carne asada meat, guac, lettuce, tomatoes, and came in a crispy shell within a flour tortilla. Somehow the carne asada meat was even more flavorful in the taco dorado compared to the standard taco (maybe they cooked the meat after the al pastor on the same grill or something, not sure but it was sooo good). While it was tasty the flour tortilla + the crispy tortilla and all the toppings were overkill for me, so in the future would stick to the regular tacos but maybe order a taco dorado once to try. Location is in a very busy area (by busy I mean cars, this is right off of 84). Be careful backing out of the parking spot, but well worth the hassle for such delicious food. No frills taco truck, fast, flavorful, i'm not sure what else to say except that Amelia's Kitchen is delicious. read more

My sister said this was one of the best taco places in Fremont so of course I had to try it. I got to Al Pastor tacos and two Carne Asada tacos. Not sure if it was an off day but the tacos were so so, but not amazing. A tad bit on the dry side. The sauces were very spicy but so good. I would give this place one more try. read more

Tried the supreme quesadilla, and tripa and el pastor tacos dorados! Asada quesadilla was amazing - came with a side of sour cream, pico & guac! The meat was DELICIOUS. Tacos dorados - also amazing. Packing with the heat!! Crispiness complements the soft outer shell so much. This will definitely be a go-to taco spot in the future. read more

I drive by here every single day and I finally had an opportunity to stop to order some food! And I must admit that I'm so sad I haven't stopped by sooner!! I ordered 2 supreme tacos ( Al pastor meat) with everything, a supreme burrito ( Al pastor meat), and a Cubana tortas ( please forgive me for any spelling mistakes ). The burrito and tacos were so flavorful and filling- so much so that my husband who isn't the biggest fan of Mexican food is enjoying it! The Cubana is okay- not as phenomenal as the other stuff, but still good. Overall the only downside to this place is the location. They're found on the side of Decoto- which when busy would be a nightmare. The owners are absolute sweethearts and the quantity is so much! 5/5 would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Taco Tuesday! The boyfriend told me about Amelia's Kitchen as he would frequently drive by it on his way home from work. Since I'm still on the hunt for some good Mexican food in Fremont, I decided it was time to try this spot out and I was pretty satisfied. I ordered two tacos, the asada and al pastor. The asada was tender, while the al pastor was flavorful. Both tacos definitely hit the spot, especially with some tío on it. The boyfriend got a burrito and that was tasty, too! However, I liked my tacos better. Location is okay, a little awkward as they are on the side of the road on Decoto nearby Regan Nursery. They are also located on some days in front California Craft Beer on Mission. Prices are decent, and staff members were friendly and accommodating. Overall, a solid place to get your taco fix! read more

Very good value for money and taste. My steak was mostly cartilage so cant give accurate review in quality of meat. Beans were a bit underdone for my taste but am sure they are ok:). They grilled and spiced my burrito to my taste and it was awesome read more

It was Memorial Day weekend and we wanted tacos, authentic as they can be... we yelped a few spots, drove over and two places were closed!! I called this place and a lady answered and said they will be open (corona virus) We quickly drove all the way to fremont, ordered our tacos and came home to eat! It was pretty bomb! I mostly enjoyed their fish taco and shrimp taco! The quesadilla was good as well! Definitely will come back! read more

Anytime I'm craving a super burrito or carne asada fries this has been my go-to spot if in the area. I usually call ahead during busy hours and the gentleman that works front of the truck always provides great customer service. Parking is a little strange at first so be prepared to pull off the main street into dirt where you should be able to find some sort of parking. read more

Some of the better tacos I've had in the bay but still not as good as SoCal. Meat was decent but tortillas weren't great, not fresh. Also prefer flour over corn. Pricing was good though. read more

I drive by here sometimes and I always see this truck. Let me just tell y'all it's so bomb. Flavor & meat & salsas are on point. The portion is more then enough it's a lot of meat that they add and worth it. I really recommend it. read more

Love their food, service is impeccable! Not a fan of their tamales or chips. Fresh tortillas don't make these chips.

Best tacos 10 out of 10 . Amazing tacos , fresh and delicious! Great customer service and great hospitality. I highly recommended their super taco . read more

I eat here all the time, and I always tell myself I'm going to leave a review. Hands down, the best burritos in the South and East Bays, and I'd put them up against some of the places in SF, too. Very well mixed, wonderful spicy salsa, great texture. I usually order al pastor or fish, but Amelia's secret is the chile relleno burrito. I've never seen this anywhere else. Even if you are a meat lover like me, you will be blown away. I don't order her tacos, but I really should fix that. Go here. read more

The food is always hot and fresh, and the customers service is amazing. Clean ambiance they have some chairs and tables

I love the street tacos, reminds me of the street tacos I had while living in Los Angeles. Excellent! Really nice people, family business.
