Mitzy A.

The service was quick, and the ordering process was simple and efficient. The tacos were decent, but I've had better al pastor elsewhere, and that happens to be my favorite type of meat. I actually preferred the gorditas over the tacos. The masa had a very authentic flavor and texture, which made them stand out.

Ok who would've thought some of the best tacos would be in the small town of Cambria?!?! Being from LA, and knowing that tacos only get better as we get closer to the border, I did not expect these tacos to hit as good as they did. So flavorful , they even got the pineapple bits on the Al pastor. It was awesome to have one of my favorite foods in the area and a good break from the more traditional fare. There's several benches/outdoor patio seating and it seems like there's a lot of regulars that stop by. Would highly recommend squeezing this place in your itinerary if you're in the area!

Boni's Tacos is a must! It's a small food truck that offers a variety of delicious Mexican food. My boyfriend and I tried their Al pastor and carne asada tacos, which were so delicious, that we had to order twice! The only issue we had was that they were a bit slow, and they were also extremely busy, so be prepared for a wait, especially during lunch time. Luckily they have some seating around, so you can soak up the sun, and enjoy the beautiful weather while you wait for your food.

Um no pics of food because well it looked and tasted so good I didn't get a chance to take any lol. Staff was so kind and Spanish speaking as well! Lots of seating options outside. Had a chicken gordita and my oh my was it so delicious! Perfectly fried tortilla with well seasoned meat! Only critique i have is that i would have preferred fresh cheese vs melting cheese but regardless it was still delicious!! Definitely will be stopping by each time I'm in the area and you should too!

Absolutely delicious tacos and burritos! Friendly service as well. Tacos are flavorful and delish!! The burrito was so good. Chicken and fillings in every bite!

Found this little gem in the small town of Cambria. Showed up around 3:15, they close at 5 but were shutting down early due to running out of food. Couldn't get a burrito but had tacos instead. Ordered two carne, one pastor and one chili verde. Chili verde won by a long shot, absolutely delicious. Others were good too. Chips and salsa very tasty. Wanted rice and beans but they were out of beans, they looked great though from what we could see. Advice: don't go towards end of day, they're likely out of deliciousness.

The service was great but expect a 5-10minute line due to how popular it is. This is a little food truck just off a popular street so you'll be hearing the cars pass by. The Breakfast Burrito was excellent! This is a very good burrito made with care to ensure it is both juicy inside and crispy/dry on the outside. Good price, good portions, great food. Strongly recommend!

Well, I don't have any pictures of the food to post along with my review, because we straight gobbled it up upon receiving our order LOL! We actually stopped into Boni's 2 times, one going up the coast and then on the way back. We ordered the Al pastor tacos, quesadilla and chile verde Gordita, everything was super yummy! Love that they cook the Al pastor traditionally, it's so good! The Chile Verde Gordita was epic good, the pork was so tender! The food comes out pretty fast, the staff is friendly and there are places to sit outside the food truck that are comfortable. Highly suggest Boni's for great Mexican food in Cambria!

My gosh, best breakfast burritos ever!!!! This was our first time here, and we absolutely LOVED it. We got the breakfast burrito with Al pastor, and it was gone within seconds. The service was quick and friendly, and we could tell the meat was fresh. It's a food truck located on a nice corner, with plenty of street parking and seating around it. Definitely has a nice and welcoming feel to it. It felt very local, which we appreciate since a lot of places can feel a little tourist-trappy. We will definitely be back!!!

Okay, so I've been coming to Cambria for years (like since I was in my 20s and now I'm in my 40s long) and only now did I discover Boni's. I'm pissed. All this time, there was amazing al pastor tacos just chilling on Main Street. Like really? Why haven't I been here before? So rude. Anyway. The Al pastor is so good. My husband and I shared a taco plate and as I write this, lightweight upset I didn't get a burrito because their beans and rice were also really good. Like, I'm also lightweight upset they were closed Tuesday-Thursday cause I was really hoping I'd be eating a goddamn burrito as I write this. They also ate quite popular. There was a lot of regulars that came up while we were there because more than a few times I hear "Usual order?". You know then it's a good place, We also had the chips and salsa. Chips were okay, like, acceptable and not going to complain. I do wish they were homemade though. The salsa though? My god. That was good. Like, I wanted more of that too. If you are hankering for amazing tacos, look no further than Boni's.

When you see a line at a local taco truck, you know it's going to be great! Crazy that I waited this long to try this place. My company raved over it...so duh! Of course, I was in! We shared the most delicious chili verde burrito and we each had a pastor taco...omg! Soooo good! I'm so glad that I finally tried Boni's! Thanks to my companion for the great recommendation!

Bjorn t.

An absolute banger of a food truck. 10/10, fast service and fresh ingredients. Somehow, still really accessible-- six tacos, and two sodas for $25, and most importantly-- absolutely *delicious* If I lived here, I'd eat daily.

Ralph M.

We have seen this taco truck in Cambria for years and never found the time to stop by. I recalled years ago reading about the owner, Boniface, and his efforts to provide good food to the community. This past week, we made the effort to find out why there were lines of people at this humble taco truck. The lines are a direct result of delicious Mexican food. The young man taking orders was extremely polite and helpful. My wife ordered the three taco plate and I ordered a taco pastor and a chili verde gordita. Oh my, what a taste treat. Everything was excellent The pastor was very good but I was thrilled with the chili verde. I ended up ordering a small burrito of straight chili verde. Yummy!!! We will definitely go back and enjoy their good food and dine outside at the nice location. Bon Appetite at Boni's!!!

It's a really small taco truck so if you're trying to get food quick ...don't. The food looks good, but the service is bad. I called several times but was put on hold and was hung up on. The my phone call was never returned. I was in line before 12p, trying to get a breakfast burrito & they served the person behind me bc they had a to go phone order. When I got to the front was told they were to longer serving breakfast burritos. When I was in line for 20min and tried calling......, The really need to get someone to expo and pack the food and separate person taking the orders. Disorganized. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the food truly is amazing. The flavors are great and everything tastes fresh. However, the service has been consistently disappointing. I have a cilantro "allergy" (it tastes like soap to me), so we specifically asked for no cilantro when ordering. They took the order without saying there would be an issue. When we received our food, it was completely covered in cilantro. When we politely brought it back, the response we got was attitude and, "Well, everything that comes with it is listed." If that's the case and you can't accommodate the request, just say so before we order. Don't agree to it and then act annoyed when it's wrong. This is the second time this has happened, and the rude attitude from the younger staff is unacceptable. Great food, but customer service matters and unfortunately, it ruined the experience for us. We won't be returning I'm replying to the response from Boni's: Nice reply and thanks for making my point. read more

Food is good! The thing which enticed me to review this food truck is these people operating seemingly have no comprehension of food preparation sanitation common sense or laws guiding food handlers...or just do not care! Not one of the men I saw touching my burrito had food handler gloves on. This is blatantly against the laws of common sense. It would behoove you and your family to seek other options. They MAY have had food sanitation gloves on the truck...not one of the three (or four) men wore a pair...or even one glove to handle customer's orders! STAY AWAY!!! read more

It's a Cambria historical Landmark!! If you come to Cambria you Must have a burrito at Boni's, Chile Verde is my Favorite but don't let that deter you from trying the Carne Asada or the other Proteins that they do so well. The Green Salsa is like crack so darn addictive it's crazy, I save some to put on my eggs the next day. They should Bottle the stuff cause once you try it you'll be craving it. The guys working there are always friendly and work their butts off since they are always busy with orders. In short Boni's is a Cambria institution and it's a Must !!! PS: get your burrito a Mexican Coke and head down to Moonstone beach and have yourself a nice picnic read more

Cambria, you need more food trucks!! Sorry Boni's the overhype is real. The alpastor has great flavor but that's about it.. The salsa is bland and almost seems store bought no flavor. The tortillas were so undercooked. It was like $15 for 3 tacos + drink that contained noooo extras. No grilled onions, no radishes, no jalapeños, no avocado, no guac, no extra anything. Tacos has silantro and onion. I didn't even get a lemon. Super sad, looked up the reviews and thought I would be in love. Stick to the fish out here! Service was ok super busy A lot of people around here have never had authentic tacos :( read more

I do miss their kitchen in Tin City but you can never go wrong with their mid village Taco (and more) truck. They are known for their pastor and I have never had it until now (their chile verde is the best anywhere) and now I'm sad I hadn't been eating it sooner. So tender so juicy so flavorful. Get there early because they may not stay open until 3 since they sell out practically every time! read more

This was a pleasant find, as we were passing through the town of Cambria and had not looked it up before. There was just the right amount of drizzling rain to make us hungry for some hot street food. And there on the corner of Main and Burton was the taco truck with a cool sombrero painted on its side. It turned out to be the perfect lunch for exactly such a beautiful rainy foggy day. I had Tacos al pastor plate, one with and one without pineapple. They both were good. Others had Quesadillas with chicken. Those were also very nice. The hot salsa was great but wasn't really hot. The Verde was about ok. Pros: - Food was delicious and the right quantity. - Staff clearly enjoyed their jobs. - Focus was on food. No loud music etc. - Service and prep areas looked clean. - Location was perfect. Cons: - Parking! Being Sunday we parked in the bank lot but otherwise it may be tough. - Option to add chopped jalapeños to pastor would be great. read more

Delicious food at a low price in the heart of Cambria's downtown area. I tried the asada and chicken tacos with onions and cilantro. The meat is well seasoned. The asada is chopped into small pieces and very easy to eat. The tacos were packed with meat making every bite very satisfying. There are a few tables to eat and customer service was great! Ordering was easy and it took a bit of time to make the food as it was made on the spot. There is off street parking, which I did not find to be an issue. They accept credit cards and will provide sauces in containers. read more

Best place in town to eat by far. Good prices and absolutely delicious food. We tried the Al Pastor tacos and quesadillas. We also too a burrito home with us for later. The guys there were so friendly and while we ate our tacos the man even brought us out a free taco for us to try and said that was his favorite. (I think it was a pork with tomatillo, I forgot what he said) Well I know why it was his favorite !! It was amazing. Next time we visit will be getting those. Don't be afraid of a line they move fast. This place is definitely a hot spot in town and now we know why, come check them out and you will know too. read more

I think we ate lunch at their kiosk in downtown Cambria three days in a row last time we were in town, and we always come back to Boni's Tacos when we stay in Cambria! There's always a little crowd gathered so you know we're not the only ones who love their tacos and burritos. Don't miss it if you happen to be in town! read more

Specialties

Tucked away between L.A. and San Francisco is a village called Cambria -- and it's home to the most delicious tacos in California. Welcome to Boni's Tacos, where the food is always fresh, authentic, and served with a smile. We've been delighting locals and visitors alike with our made-to-order cuisine for more than 15 years. Our dishes are made from family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation, leading back to our family's roots in Taxco, Guerrero. If you're looking for a traditional dish, try our al pastor -- it's specially prepared and always a hit. Visit us for breakfast and lunch at our brick and mortar location during the week on Village Lane, or stop by our food truck on the weekend on Main Street. But hurry, we're only open until the food runs out!

History

Established in 2004.

Our owner, Bonifacio "Boni" Viveros, emigrated from Mexico in 1972, then in 1989, he and his wife laid new roots in Cambria, CA. Boni (pronounced "bone-ee") and his family have been living in Cambria since and founded Boni's Tacos in 2004. We've grown into a local staple, and opened a food truck in 2006. Visit us for breakfast and lunch at our brick and mortar location during the week from 8 AM - 3:30 PM at 2405 Village Ln., or stop by our food truck on the weekend from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm at 2253 Main St.

Meet the Manager: Cesar V.

After my father, Bonifacio "Boni" Viveros, retired in 2019, my partner Alfonso and I moved back to the Central Coast from Ventura to run what has become a Cambria staple. We share his passion and strive to continue his legacy; fresh, authentic, Mexican street food, served with a smile.

My wife and I were told to visit this place by our co-workers when we made our trip up north. I bookmarked it and made sure to visit this place before heading to Hearst Castle. We went to the address provided here and it lead us to their shop which looked like a "hole in the wall", 30 mins after they opened but was closed. We were disappointed and did not see anyone there. We noticed a sign that directed us to their truck just right around the corner. My wife and I were relief to find them open with a tent, table, and few chairs outside. The person taking our order in the truck was nice, genuine, and patient. Once we ordered our food, he even asked what we thought of it. I'm not sure if I was starving that morning or the hype was built for the past few days but that was the best Al pastor burrito i've had that was not overly salted and had a hint of pineapple. My wife ordered 3 mini tacos with Carne Asada, Al pastor, and chicken. They were all equally delicious. It was the perfect breakfast before continuing our road trip. Thanks!! read more

for cambria, these are amazing. i've no doubt these are the best tacos within 30 miles of this place. the al pastor is off the spit and the carne asada isn't cut up till you order it (at least, mine wasn't). you do your own fixings and you choose your own sauce. it's a light meal and these aren't your typical greasy tacos. i'm used to seeing places grease the tortillas when they heat them up, but i didn't catch any of that here. almost a healthy taco, if you will. i'd give them more stars, but i like my tacos greasy. read more

If could give them ten stars, I would. The food is ALWAYS delicious, the prices are beyond reasonable, and the service is impeccable. Boni's son kills it running the Friday to Monday business. My wife and I go up to Cambria for a week every May and two-plus weeks every October, and they always remember our order after the first day we come to them.

This place sucks now! $12 for a burrito and they still want to charge $1 for salsa? If I order a huge burrito, I should be able to get enough salsa to go with it. AND FOR $12! It makes no sense.
