My girlfriend had mentioned this place, and we finally stopped by during our drive to Southern California. Every item we ordered was incredibly flavorful and made fresh to order. Some of the parathas took about 25 minutes, but it was absolutely worth the wait because you could taste the freshness in every bite. This is a must-visit spot if you're passing through. I'm so grateful we found it, and I can't wait to come back!

I've never had samosa Chaat so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was a great sized portion but was mildly too sweet (like there was syrup in there) and plenty of raw onion. The food was at a convenient location next to the gas station and the food came out within 5 minutes.

Everything we have tried has been excellent. It is a food truck so stop on the way in or to use the restroom. They are very quick, always have a smile and we have never had any surprises that weren't in a positive way. We have tried most anything I know of on the route for us and this is our 100% favorite. We typically stop there up and down! There is a grass area near there if you are traveling with pets and water available. (Pick up after your pets, always don't be a ...)

I was greeted by the friendly hostess at the order window and the menu was nearby to see the extreme variety of meats that you normally don't see at restaurants in the bay! If you haven't tried before, order the cabeza, tripa and lengua tacos! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Full of flavor and beef that just melts in your mouth. I'd drive back a hundred plus miles just to have these again. The papusas are worth a try if you haven't tried before. They're a solid choice and I'd go with the pork and beans if you're a first timer. It's a bit hot out in Buttonwillow during the summer but they do have a bit of shade and few tables as you enjoy your authentic tacos!

A food truck in Bakersfield? Oh yes! We're moving up in the foodie world…read more Located on the corner of 16th Street and D Street in downtown Bako, this little food truck is a God-send for the employees of nearby Mercy Hospital and other businesses. We arrived to find half a dozen people already standing outside the truck, with a guy outside taking phone orders. He was quite busy taking those orders, so don't be surprised if you call in and can't get through; just plan on calling far enough ahead to avoid the lunch rush. In fact, calling ahead seems to be the ideal game plan. Not that the wait for long, but standing outside certainly makes it feel longer than it is. After seeing their drool-worthy Instagram photo of the Pambazo, I was sold. What is a pambazo? Well, think a torta but way messier. It's filled with potatoes and chorizo, and finished off with some of the typical torta toppings. Then (here's the kicker!) it's drenched in a red pepper sauce. Grab a handful of napkins with this sandwich; you're going to need them. In all, I was pleased with the quality and efficiency of The Curbside Kitchen; and just in time since NV Cafe closed their doors recently. I'm excited to try some of their other menu items.

We initially stopped over here for a quick McDonalds bathrooms break and saw a lot of taco trucks along the road. We've never been here before but the food was excellent for a taco truck! Super fresh, super flavorful with the right amount of Mexican spices done right! Not shown was the devoured especial 3 taco Plato and tacos dorados de papas! Highly recommend to try this place out if you're ever stopping off this way!!! Service was extremely quick and friendly. Ambiance of the place with clean tables with cute flower settings to keep it looking fresh. They have a pumping sink to wash your hands or they offer hand sanitizer at the truck when you're ordering your food. They take all major credit cards and zelle or cash! My husband has the Super Burrito de Carne Asada and devoured it within 6 minutes he's Mexican so he would know what tastes good! The fresh salsa was perfectly seasoned and medium spicy! Yummy! Definitely need to keep this one on my tabs if we ever go back this way!

We are superfans of Tita's (the long standing Pupusa truck off I-5 that occupied the same spot of…read moregravel as Tacos el Paraíso) so when it was closed yesterday, we tried Tacos el Paraíso instead, thinking they'd be comparable. Don't be fooled into thinking this too! We waited 40 mins for tiny pupusas (and they got our order wrong). The food itself was fine, but not at all worth the wait, and *nothing* like the heavenly food that Tita's usually provides. Two thumbs way down, next time if Tita's is closed we are going to get back on the road to head up to that Mexican place in the plaza at the Paso Robles exit.

We decided to download their app and order thru them directly. They couldn't find their drivers or they couldn't get a handle on them. Gave us a really bad taste. The food sounded good. But we will never know. Shame. Shame on us too for getting it delivered instead of going in. Hopefully I will get my refund. I attached a snapshot of what I wrote on their app. Good luck to them.‍ maybe we will give it a shot again... in a few months. But we will go in next time. ‍ 1) fix your phone numbers please. 2) pick better drivers/or don't use 3rd party drivers. Cuz they were bad.

It was open during thanksgiving with special hours closing early. We got the Thursday burrito special with chile verde which is $8.99+tax and a fish taco. The burrito is nothing special and the meat is quite dry. But it's big and good value - quantity over quality. The fish taco is also okay - the lettuce with the sauce is a bit watery. I can't dock them too much since food was quick and prices are good, and there is not much competition and options in this area.
