The carne asada taco had tiny bits of meat (think bacon bits) tiny and it tasted so bad. I couldn't pinpoint at first what it tasted like; something similar to fish taste and it's not the good kind. It was like they used the same chopping board and knife to cut fish and never washed it. Sorry but I won't waste my hard earned money here. read more

They're a great local business. I'm impressed with everything I've ordered from the Big Sur Taco menu. Their fresh salsas are made with local ingredients, and they make their corn tortillas. Always a treat! read more

Big Sur Taco - Big Sur Taco truck in Seaside, CA - Mexican Near Me

Best tacos in the known universe. Carnitas to die for! And everyone who works here is super friendly.

The best worker there is named tino, he was very nice to me. Also gave me a birthday present. Good food, Alright ambiance.

Worst burrito I've ever had I'm far from picky, and I must say that the $15 carne asada burrito I got today was the worst I've ever had in my 39 years of life. The burrito had about 1 teaspoon of carne asada and probably one cup of beans in 1 cup of rice! I was legit searching for the meat! I definitely will never eat at this place again . read more

BST is our go-to for delicious tacos or burrito bowl; we enjoy our lunch there every week, sometimes twice a week! Talk about nice people! They are so very nice, the facility is impeccably clean and the food never disappoints, read more

$4 per taco is on the pricier end. We got to try their shrimps, carne asada, and their Al pastors. Their corn tortilla was deliciously made, crispy on the edges with lots of cilantro, onions, and cabbages added. The shrimp and the carne asada were decent. My favorite was the Al pastor tacos. They were juicy and had pineapples in them too. When I come back, would definitely get another plate of all Al pastor tacos. 5/5 for the Al pastor tacos. Their orange/red sauce was definitely spicier than their green sauce. I preferred the green sauce, which complimented their tacos well. Overall, a great experience trying the food from the taco truck with many picnic tables out front to sit and enjoy at. read more

Big Sur Taco - 6 tacos: 2 shrimps, 2 carne asada, 2 al pastors - Mexican Near Me

This taco truck location was between Carmel Valley and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Taco trucks are very common where I frequent in Los Angeles and they have a great variety to choose from. This one looked clean and the employees were helpful in ordering. I was not disappointed. I had seen the taco truck by Safeway before, so I stopped in after getting my tires checked at the local Shell station. I was pleasantly surprised by the carne asada taco. There were a couple of customers, and the service was pretty quick. I can't say I have much of an opinion on the salsas since I prefer them mild, but the middle one was great. I know there are a lot of taco places, but I look forward to trying other items on the menu. Since then, I've seen many enticing food pictures that make me want to come back. read more

Service was fine, nice people. I only ordered tacos, so this is purely a review for the Al Pastor tacos. Everything taste old; the tortilla fell apart and was hard like cardboard. The Al Pastor had zero flavor. I was disappointed because the presentation was looking like the tacos were going to smack, and they absolutely did not. The cutlery was nice. read more

Big Sur Taco - Mexican Near Me

We chose the tacos specifically so that we could have handmade corn tortillas . They did not disappoint! My chicken tacos were very tasty . However, the pastor pork left something to be desired . It wasn't very flavorful , almost as if they hadn't roasted it on a spit but rather added some kind of pastor sauce later , which made the pork plain tasting . I would definitely order again from them but would skip the pastor. We ordered from one of their trucks , and I'd like to suggest that they put out a sandwich board with a bigger menu so that people don't need to crowd and squint at the small letter sized menu by the ordering window. read more

Big Sur Taco - Mexican Near Me

I stopped by this taco truck parked outside of a local shop near Mid-Valley and really wanted to enjoy myself and give a shout out to to local businesses- But was disappointed when I got my to-go order of 3 tacos (with a nice tip $20) and I got home and realized that of the 3 tacos only 1 taco had 2 tortillas!! Each one should have 2!! They didn't mention anything or let me know I was getting shorted ( although they must have know they did) nor given any discount due to it. The fillings were ok, but this lapse on quality/service should be addressed at the time of service. read more

spent $30 on two mid burritos. Knew from the first bite that they had no flavor. tried them with salsa, also bland. tasted like my white grandma made them. rice was mushy and unflavored. beans were dry and meat had no flavor. the salsa was watery and did not help at all. will not be buying again. read more

We had the Al pastor and carne asada tacos. They were amazing. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful, the salsas were complex, and the homemade tortillas were amazing. The price was reasonable. Would definitely go back read more

Big hype, no flavor. Salsa roja they give you is pure habanero. The burrito I ordered "Big Sur Borrito, with shrimp " is $14. Pico de gallo has no tomatoes. They are At Carmel valley farmers market and now at Carmel Valley village. Only if you are really hungry and it's the only option. Two stars for friendly service. read more

It was okay. They don't take Google pay. We got the al pastor big sur burrito and it tastes like a veggie stew inside a tortilla. I think it needed sour cream. read more

Legit Taco truck off of Del Monte Ave. recommend it to anyone in the area for a few reasons. First of all the Burrito has amazing and generous ingredients, and finely wrapped too. I especially enjoyed the shrimp tacos which had generous portions and flavored with just the right amount of onions, cilantro, and tomato. I also recommend the steak tortillas, which are just loaded up with beef and cheese, and include some good side items. Prices are reasonable and the service is quick. Don't miss this one. read more

You can't go wrong with the handmade tortillas. One of my new favorites. Their located on Del Monte near Dennis the Menace Park most days. Late evenings they make their way to Seaside next to Bank of America on Fremont street. Make your way at least once and you'll be hooked. read more

What a great surprise! Let's start with the tortilla! One of the best I have had in CA. These babies are hand made and really tasty The shrimp was nicely marinated as was the chicken. Their green sauce had just enough heat (l prefer more though) with some good flavor depth Sorry for no photos :( read more

The tacos are $4 which I find *quite* steep especially for a small taco, but it was *an experience*. I had one carne asada and one al pastor and then went back for 2 more al pastor. The homemade tortillas were amazing and crispy, and the onions were perfectly cooked and seasoned. It tasted very fresh. Would recommend anyone in Big Sur go for a snack or a sunset meal. I do believe it was the best taco of my life. You will need more than your normal amount of tacos however, first because they are small and second because they are so good. There was one outdoor table with plastic chairs, byo folding chair if you want a guaranteed chair. The red hot sauce completely decimated my friend who eats spicy on the regular so beware. The green salsa was also very spicy. read more

Sooo delicious! We had tacos and burritos and loved everything. Those handmade tortillas were amazing too.

A friend suggested I try their carne asada torta and it did not disappoint. It was one of the best I've ever had,the torta bun was straight up magical lol. read more

Big Sur Taco - Carne asada torta from Big Sur Taco - Mexican Near Me

Bland and overpriced. Meat has no flavor.... at all. Unfortunately not the first bad experience but this will be the last as it's only gotten worse read more

Hubby and I decided to finally try this truck out. He ordered 1 shrimp taco, 2 carne asada. I ordered 2 carne asada and 1 al pastor, and 1 side of beans and rice. It was just "OK". We have had better in Salinas. It is a bit pricy for tacos. Yes, they make their own tortillas (corn), but they were dry and a little brittle. We brought our own chairs to sit and eat near El Estero lake. It was sunny, but a little cold and windy. (The food cooled off way fast, not their fault). But it was missing something, not sure what...FLAVOR! The al pastor was different from what I am used to from eating them someplace else. Hubby said the shrimp were good and the asada were just ok. The rice was mushy, over cooked, and the black beans were a little under done. Not sure if I would try again. If I do, I will try the burrito and/or a quesadilla. But, I am glad we finally crossed that one off of our "places to try" list. The red salsa was spicy, tasty, the green salsa was mild and tasty. Did not buy drinks, brought our own. read more

We had Heidi, Saul and their team come out for our son's birthday. Although the weather was terrible, the food was fantastic! We loved that everyone could just walk up and order exactly what they wanted. My personal favorites were the shrimp and carne asada tacos. The food was awesome! read more

We used Big Sur Taco for our company outing and it was DELICIOUS! It was set up for all you can eat tacos but they allowed burritos and quesadillas also when asked. If I had a complaint it would be that I would rather them have said no, and done only tacos instead of charging me $150 over the price I was originally quoted. Not everyone can just throw an extra $150 with no knowledge. The deposit was not deducted from the total price. If they weren't so friendly and the food wasn't so good, I probably would have complained more. Just be cautious if you're on a budget and confirm price upfront when they arrive. The food is worth it so don't let that deter you from using them, just have better communication than what we had. That's the only reason this isn't 5 stars. read more

Got a torta de adovada. Taste amazing. Good bang for your buck. Much bigger portions than a restaurant. Found them right by Denise the Menace park. Love seen small businesses like this one do well. Will definitely recommend. read more

Big Sur Taco - Mexican Near Me

I had the Big Sur burrito. It was good and service was okay. I'd go there again but not in my top 5 taco trucks

Big Sur Taco catered our wedding at the Henry Miller Library early May. Our guests are still talking about how great these tacos were. Big Sur Taco provided amazing customer service and affordable prices, and a delicious assortment of yummy things to eat. Thank you so much for everything Heidi and Saul! read more

This place is fine. Npt the best food I've ever had but pretty good and our server was very attentive. We had dinner at Big Sur Taco before walking down to play at The Escape Room. Thee chips are not gluten free so be aware if you have celiac. The vegetarian burrito bowl was great with fresh cabbage, vegetables, beans and rice. My family was happy. read more

Super good tacos, the tortillas were fresh and the meat tasty.. they were parked outside of Ryan ranch and made my lunch time better!

I wish I could give 0 stars. Not only would I not recommend this taco truck to anyone but I would also discourage from eating here. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and a side of beans and rice for me and son then 2 asada and 2 apastor tacos for my boyfriend. Quesadilla was barley okay. Beans were BLAND! Rice was RAW and bland. Also they did NOT have Utensils for the beans and rice. 2 tortillas from the tacos were raw asada tasted like plain ground beef and apastor had a sorry ass seasoning just like everything else. I will admit the cheese was the only good thing from everything we ordered. If you like good Mexican food don't eat there if you like Mexican food in general don't eat there, if you're hungry find the next closest place, but don't eat there. read more

So average. I could make this at home. The only upside was that the hot sauce is still burning me. Carne Asada has no flavor. It tastes like a bean burrito pretty much. Sorry big Sur, being from Fresno where every other spot. read more

Best Mexican food in the neighborhood! Cheese quesadilla and veggie burrito is beyond exceptional! And spicy salsa is truly hot. They also offer delicious handmade tortillas read more

Delicious tacos! I had the al pastor and it was the best I've ever tasted. The tortillas were freshly homemade and fresh veggies. Went back for more a couple hours later. Wish I could track their location. My husband I I made a trip a month later to Monterey looking for them, hoping they'd appear suing the two days we were there. No luck! Maybe next time. read more

ZERO STARS!! The owner of BIg Sur Tacos, Saul Reos sent me insults on Facebook messenger. You can read for yourself and also gather that this man has no respect. He also thinks it's ok to degrade other people and genders. This kind of thinking is not appropriate in running a business. I and others that have tasted his food and had a honest opinion that I posted on Facebook. His attitude to my review is ridiculous. It goes to say that just because I seem that I'm Salinas, I work in the strawberry fields, so therefore I don't have the money for good food. And that I should be a man and not a woman because I didn't come to him with my thoughts. It's a matter of principle. No apologies. Draw your own conclusions on this, but I and others will never support a business that has a mindset like that. Other business that partner should think as well. The photos of the messages are included in the photos section. read more

Bland food- no flavor AT ALL. The family ordered al pastor quesadilla, chicken quesadilla, carne asada burrito, and chicken tacos. Nothing had flavor except the super salty chicken. There was no pico, and the salsa had no heat. We should eaten anywhere but this truck. Easy pass next time. read more

OMG! These were the best freaking tacos I've had! The tortilla was homemade. The meat was perfectly seasoned/flavored. The salsa was delicious and perfect since it was mild and I can't eat spicy. It's a must stop when in town! read more
