Food is always good…read more Case service. They are all very kind. Clean truck and you can tell they are careful handling foods. Love their food trucks. Hubby and I come here for the past 5 years and still in love with the foods.

The tacos were really good, especially the tripas--they were flavorful and had a nice texture! I…read morealso have to mention the grilled onions they give you on the side because those were SO good. I love when taco spots include them; they're the perfect little addition to the tacos. The salsas were great too, especially the red salsa. It has that delicious roasted flavor that I really liked and added a nice kick to the tacos. Although... tacos are getting SO expensive these days! It's honestly crazy to think about how much tacos are going for now compared to what they used to cost. Still worth trying if you're craving some good street tacos! What I love about buying street tacos in the town - you get a little bag of pickled jalapeños/carrots (they also cut fresh carrot slices that get pickled too, it cuts the grease from the meat!) For parking, there's a small parking lot right next to the taco truck. I ended up parking in the grocery store parking lot directly across the street, which was pretty convenient too. While I was waiting, I did not expect to get rizzed up by an elderly man selling ice cream - typical day in the day.

From El Paisa, Valentine, a delightful, charming, efficient, very capable chef, arrived 30 minutes…read moreearly to set up his table with electric grill in our driveway. I provided an electrical extension cord and a table for condiments, chips, plates and utensils. He did all the rest. He was ready to serve before the 6:30 PM serving time and he performed so efficiently there was never a very long line. The menu included tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, with 3 meat choices plus a grilled veggie option, and rice and beans with big tubs of pico de gallo and guacamole and all of the extra fixings like diced onions, lettuce, cilantro and salsa. Everyone raved about the food and the wonderful service. I was so pleased to be able to enjoy my party, not having to worry about the food and knowing everyone got just what they wanted to eat, including the 1 year old and 3 year old who loved their cheese quesadillas! Valentine waited a few minutes after the two hour serving time and after consulting with me started to wrap it up. The diners were beyond full by then. He quietly put everything back in his Station Wagon and after handing me the bill and taking my check, he was on his way! People were sorry to see him go. Not because they were still hungry but because his smile and overall charming presence added so much to our party. Thanks Abel for sending such a pleasant young man and providing such wonderful food and service.

No longer a truck there's a clean sit down spot. Very…read morefriendly guys. The prawn taco was pretty good. It actually had flavour n was freshly made.

Quite simply, these are the BEST fish tacos I've ever had in the Bay Area…read more The place is half a block from my studio, so I have the privilege of confirming this opinion at least once a week. I've also brought plenty of friends and family here to try them, and the verdict is always the same: wonderful! I've heard that pretty much everything else on the menu is equally excellent, but I'm completely addicted to the fish tacos, so I've never managed to order anything else. It's cozy, friendly, and incredibly efficient if you happen to be in a hurry. I honestly couldn't recommend it more highly, or more fondly.

The hype over their fish tacos is well deserved! The fish pieces were battered, fried, and very…read moresubstantial. I really enjoyed the creamy orange sauce. $5.75 a taco may seem a bit much, but at least the taco size and quality justifies the price. I also ordered the smaller size of ceviche for $15. It came with 2 large round tortilla chips (not sure what these are called) and a packet of saltine crackers. I feel like a bag of tortilla chips would have gone nicely with the ceviche because I ran out of the 2 large chips and crackers before I finished the ceviche. The ceviche itself was perfect. Their spinach pineapple agua fresca was refreshing and reminded me of those Odwalla green smoothies. You do taste the spinach but it's sweet and tastes good! I got here around 5:40 on a Friday and there was plenty of outdoor seating available, though it did start to fill up the longer I stayed. You can enter on either side of the back of Aloha.
