    a food truck on a dirt road
    Marshall T.

    Amazing place for a taco and I love it . We come here every time we are hungry and this is a taco paradise

    the side of a food truck

    We had a delicious experience but more than anything we had an incredible human experience. We ordered and didn't realize that they did not take card, only cash. I quickly told the owner that I needed and ATM near by. He without even a second of thought said: "Don't worry, whenever you come back you'll pay me". I shared that I wasn't from there so that was not an option. He said: " no worries, one day, somehow you'll be able to pay me, please enjoy your food". He said they were leaving soon and refused to tells us if there was an ATM nearby and just get kindly smiling and telling us to enjoy. My wife and I felt so touched that we wanted to do literally cry. I got in the car, googled an ATM and drove as quickly as I could to get some cash to pay for our food and extra as a generous tip for what they did. I was trying to hurry since they were wrapping up for the day. At the end, we caught them on time and gave them immediate karma for their big heart. The food was absolutely delicious but there's no other place I rather put my money than those who care about humanity, kindness, and spreading love. You all made my day!!!

    Amazing tacos and his specialty torta "el gitano" definitely recommend. I'd recommend calling prior to arriving since he's always busy.

    Price is reasonable, slightly pricy, but super tasty food. Better than any restaurants I've been to.

    Enjoyed both regular tacos and quesabirria tacos from their truck at a volleyball tournament in…read moreSonoma. High-quality, fresh ingredients, and tasty. The tortillas were a bit greasy, but the al pastor, carne asada, and birria meat were well-seasoned and tender. Dipping broth for the quesabirria tacos was excellent. Salsas were pretty good too but wish they provided larger quantity without having to ask for more. Truck prices were on the higher side than other brick and mortar places, but still decent value, and it hit the spot.

    I am not a one star yelp review person but I had to share my/dozens of people's experience today-…read more Fourth of july taco truck in the square. Dear lord... me and the rest of the customers all around me had a horrible experience. Our beepers would falsely go off, we go up to collect food, they tell us false alarm and keep waiting. No sorry, no apologies, no update when the food was gonna be there.. No explanation, nothing. The cashier at one point started laughing when another woman asked how much longer. There were dozens of people waiting so so long. I WAITED AT AN HOUR FOR 2 TACOS AND A QUESADILLA. I should have just asked for my money back. Customer service did not exist here today, such a bummer. I get it's a taco truck not a restaurant, but At least tell the customers if you were having some kind of issue. No one said anything to us except for the "turn your buzzer off it's not ready". Or offer something to compensate. Nothing. And an HOUR for tacos and a fricken quesadilla is diabolical. Do better.

    Please heed my warning (and those of the other most recent reviews!) and save yourself the time,…read moremoney, effort, and stress - hire literally ANY other caterer for your event. After months of poor communication and several displays of unprofessionalism, I tried to cancel our contract 6 weeks prior to our wedding date. I was in a dispute with the owner (Gabe) to try and get a refund for an event he hadn't even catered, and he refused to provide it. Note that the owner himself has stated that he thinks his business is headed to an end. See attached photo for text messages I received from him with this claim. If anything, you don't want to work with someone who cannot maintain a professional demeanor in their client correspondence. In case you need further convincing to NOT hire Ring of Fire, feel free to read through my ordeal below. --- In February of this year, I reached out in search of a wedding caterer. Gabe invited me and my partner to a complimentary tasting with other couples who were interested in booking. The tasting went great (the ONLY thing that went well in all my interactions with them) so we booked and paid a 50% deposit. Over the next few months I reached out to get deadlines and feedback on our proposed menu. After repeated attempts to contact him, the only time he really reached out was to offer a discount on our balance if we paid it early. In hindsight, this should have been a *red flag* - no professional would ever reach out to a client to ask them to pay something in advance of the contract terms unless they were poorly managing their business and finances. Instead, thinking it was gesture of customer service, we went ahead and paid our balance early to get the discount. However, after paying, Gabe unprofessionally asked us to reschedule our already confirmed site tour in favor of booking another lunch. My wedding coordinator and I agreed to reschedule, only to have him NO SHOW for the site tour. 15 minutes after the confirmed meeting time I called Gabe to get his ETA. He didn't seem to know where our venue was (even though he accepted a calendar event with the date, time, and address in it) and told me was still 50 minutes away so we proceeded without him. Had we waited, he would have been OVER AN HOUR LATE. At this point, I lost faith that ROF could cater my event. We were still 6 weeks away from our date so I requested to cancel our contract and get back the balance payment (that HE requested we pay early). Needless to say, he did not want to grant the refund. I worked with an attorney and determined the best course of action was to file a dispute with the credit card company AND to sue him in small claims court as backup. Luckily, the credit card company resolved the dispute in my favor but I still experienced an extreme amount of stress trying to book a new caterer with less than 6 weeks from my wedding date - something I would never wish on any bride. Again, please save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your caterer.

    I would not even give this business one star. I was a guest for a birthday celebration most…read morerecently and I was appalled and disappointed by the service. They were late in getting to my friends birthday celebration. Uncalled for.! The food was just okay but there was not enough for any seconds on appetizers. The staff seemed to not really know what was going on and did their best, alas the coup d'etat that the dessert was melted. Relatives of the birthday party ended up going to a local store to get dessert for the party because the catering staff was at a loss of what to do, to fix the problem, it was awful. This company is so unprofessional. I would never recommend them to anyone. Just bad, bad, bad on every level.
