Why 5 stars? Because mosr burritos are the same. This one is not…read more --- --- --- When visiting the most famous Yelp celebrity of San Mateo County, I knew that I did not have to complete my normal routine when traveling, which is an absurd amount of food research. I simply told Paolo B: take me to one of your favorite places. And that's what brought me here. While I would trust this man with my life, I will admit that a thought entered my mind when he mentioned that this was one of his favorite burrito spots: most burritos are pretty damn similar. Is this one *really* going to be that much better? Well, it was. And that's why they call Paolo the love child of Guy Fieri and Simon Cowell of the Bay Area. The man knows talent and that's why he's goated. First off, I don't know if I've ever seen a burrito on a menu that consists of both steak and shrimp. Normally, I'd have to choose between the two different types of my favorite protein, but here, you get the best of both worlds. Plus, you can request your burrito to be grilled, which just adds a layer of love to something that's already stuffed to the max with it. Throw a little green sauce on each bite and you have one of the better burritos I've ever eaten. If I lived in the area, I too would be a regular here. Unfortunately, I am many states away, but if you're also not local and happen to be reading this review, I have good news for you. It's about as close to the airport as it can be, so you have no excuse not to make it your first stop after you land at SFO, or the last stop right before you head back home.

Definitely take advantage of the salsa bar. We loved the green salsa! Our only big critique was we would have loved to have the chips warmed. If you like street tacos, get the normal tacos and not the special taco. Service 4/5: the staff was friendly. I did have to ask to have someone explain the salsas to me, but overall they were friendly and willing to explain things when asked. Ambiance 4/5: this is a dive and very small. We were able to get a table outside, but if it's busy there may not be places to sit. Overall a nice taco place!

I've had good experiences coming to this truck in the past(when I lived in SSF). Now that I live in San Bruno, I deemed this as a go-to since it's walkable from home. I ordered four carne asada tacos especial. They were tiny tacos filled with grilled steak, onions, cilantro, salsa verde, sour cream, and cheese. Yum, right? I had grilled chiles and slices of radish to go along with the delicious tacos. I enjoyed my first three tacos until I picked up the fourth to find a long hair trailing behind it. This sadly killed my appetite and my experience with this taco truck. Never a good thing to find hair in your food. I really hope this review helps to prevent this from happening in the future because the food is really good here.

The molcajete (traditional stone grinding bowl) $34.27 is fish, chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, bell peppers, green onions, cheese & tortillas. It is meant for two or more people. My attempt to do this solo failed miserably. At least they have to-go boxes. The steak and shrimps have a charred flavor. The inside, with the chicken, fish, shrimp and pork sausage had a smokey bean flavor combined with snap of green onions and bell peppers. I was surprised the heated stoneware didn't dry out the meats. It was perfect. Service was excellent for a pay at the cashier and they bring you the food type of restaurant. You have to ask at the cashier to re-fill your water. The self service salsa bar is a plus. They will give you actual silverware and plate if you ask. Minor nit. The price on the electronic wall menu was $32.95. The price on the cash register is $34.27. I paid in cash. They need to update the wall menu.

What really didn't make sense to me was the pricing. A super burrito with meat is $14.82, but a super veggie burrito is somehow more expensive at $15.55. Charging extra for a vegetarian option without any clear reason feels off and hard to justify. Overall, it's a pass for me. There are better spots nearby with more flavor and better value (La Bonita food truck by Ling Nam) Updating to one star since they forgot to give us chips that we paid nearly $4 for...

I ordered the aguachiles on a tostada for $6, which is crazy affordable. The shrimp tasted fresh, the sauce had a nice kick, and everything was balanced well. The tostada stayed crunchy and held up with all the toppings, which isn't always easy to pull off. Simple, flavorful, and satisfying. This is one of those low-key spots you might overlook, but it's worth stopping for. Solid food, great value, and exactly what you want from a roadside mariscos stand. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Service was excellent and truck was clean and decorated nicely.

We've come once for lunch when the only customers were at the bar & once for dinner when every seat was occupied. I've enjoyed everything I've had here: -- Chilaquiles are fully loaded with both red & green sauces, eggs, & avocado. I chose pollo pibil for my protein which was moist & flavorful. -- the tomato sauce on their Empanadas de Piccadillo tastes fresh & slightly tart, & the pickled onion topping offsets the ground beef's richness. -- their michelada is dangerously easy to drink; light & refreshing with barely a hint of beer taste. I'm not surprised Cochinita is poppin' for dinner; who wouldn't want comforting food & drinks to wind down the evening?

They take cash or venmo only and do not take credit card at all. My favorite meats here would be the Pastor and the brisket. The brisket is tender and juicy and the pastor is tender and filled with flavor. The Carne Asada here is a bit dry to my liking so I wouldn't get this meat option again. I love that they have a sauce bar where you can add as many condiments as you like and they have grilled onions and jalapeños that they serve you with your tacos. The only thing is the tacos are on the pricier side but it's understandable.
