    6 tacos: 2 shrimps, 2 carne asada, 2 al pastors
    Lynn H.

    $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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious food, tortillas hechas a mano! It was an unexpected delight during a long bike ride in Big Sur.

    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.

    I'm not even sure this company is still in business. I've tried multiple times to contact them for…read morean event and have never heard back. We'll try once more tomorrow, and then we'll have to pivot.

    This is long overdue. One thing about me, I love food and for MY festivities I had to get great…read morefood since I'll be having special people at my function. Italian cowboys bbq catering did not disappoint. We had them cater for our wedding rehearsal dinner. And boy did all my guests rave about their food and after weeks of the event they still talk about it. I even had 5 Kansas City BBQ judges at the event and they absolutely loved it. One of the judges could not make it to the rehearsal because of work so his fiancé brought him some to try.. and they said it was still spot after a couple of hours. We ordered the Tri tip, chicken ,Mac cheese, garlic bread and green salad. Now let's talk about the the salad. I am not a rabbit but their greenery and dressing was local and tossed with the freshest ingredients. The Mac and cheese was a staple with all the 20 kids running around that they wanted more the next day. It was cheesy, stringy and the noodles were not al dente, it was definitely kid and adult approved. The chicken breasts were smoked and it was so juicy. I worry sometimes that smoking it too long can dry it a bit, but not this time. Now the Tri tip! It had a beautiful smoke ring, any bbq lover would appreciate seeing that ring since we eat with our eyes first. He catered to the majority not having too much rare or well done Tri tips which was a plus since there was no left overs fir me to take home . I'm selfish when it comes to food I love. The Tri tip was juicy, and tender definitely tasted the Smokey flavor. He had two sauces. One of the sauces it took him a few years to perfect which was sweet and with a hint of spiciness. The sauce complimented the Tri tip very well, did not take away the taste of the meat which we never want. But the meat itself was killer, you actually did not the sauce but some prefer dipping their meats into them so if you were pick their specialty sauce. Everything that was suppose to be served hot was hot. Been to weddings, catered events where the meat is cold. Their prices are affordable, they work with your budget and what you want. Besides the delicious food, their customer service, John Cardinalli and company were spot on. Writing this review makes me crave for their meat. So if you are planning to have a bbq Catering don't hesitate, try them, you won't be disappointed.

    Okay so my husband and I were taking a trip to Monterey Bay for the weekend (June 18-20) and looked…read moreup local food trucks and dinner pop-ups. We love finding places off the beaten path. I stumbled across a pop-up Casas de Humo BBQ (on Instagram @casasdehumobarbecue) which was going to be featured at a local bar in Monterey called Pearl Hour the night before we were heading down. so we changed our plans and headed to Monterey a day early (Thur 6/17), and man was it worth it. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. Best of the best hands down. the tacos were fresh, the meat melted in your mouth and the salsa was amazing! The brioche bun on the sandwich was fresh; not soggy like other BBQ places serve. On Instagram I saw they make a bbq pork or beef sandwich with a jelly filled donut as the bun called the "Jelly D" which looks ambrosial (check it out yourself on their Instagram. it wasn't on the menu that night so we spotted one of the owners (family run business) and chit-chatted him up and he said they would be featuring the Jelly D Sat 6/19 starting at 12pm at the Joyce Wine Company at 1 E Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel, Ca. so today, we are heading there to dive into the JELLY D and whatever else they have on their menu, because trust me, we are tasting it all! Will update later. Update: the Jelly D was simply Ambrosial (word of the day). We ordered both the brisket jelly D and the pork Jelly D. both were light, flavorful and delicious. Once you pick it up it's hard to put down. The pairing of the Jelly D with Joyce wine company's Gamay Noir wine was perfect match. Casas de Humo Barbecue turned out to be the best adventure of our Monterey weekend getaway that took us to amazing places we may not have ventured without them. Their food was simply amazing and paired well with both places. Cant wait to see where Casas de Humo Barbecue takes us next. We shall see you soon.
