    Wow...for a whole in the wall truck location with a bright colored seat area...I'm stupefied!! The food was DELICIOUS!!! My love had the super burrito with chicken and I had the chicken tacos!! Best food I've had so far in the bay area and the customer service was as friendly as can be!!

    Petting the kitty while I wait on my food.

    This place has been around forever! I hadn't been in years because I don't live out here anymore but I stopped by because I wanted a burrito and they did not disappoint!! The first bite I instantly knew I'd be back! Thank you guys! It was everything I was hoping for in a burrito! I got to pet the kitty too!

    Chile verde tacos, so good!
    Matt K.

    This is a great go-to taco truck! The carnitas, asada and al pastor are all delicious. It's definitely best to go for the $1 taco of the day (a different meat every day of the week; sadly asada is not one of these) as regular prices are $2.50 per taco, which is a bit high but it seems like the going rate nowadays. We went on Sunday and I got the $1 chile verde tacos...really tasty! I love that they have outdoor seating, nice to sit in the sun and enjoy your food. This is just a good old taco truck...nothing fancy just really good tacos!

We were brought fresh tortilla chips to start, which were great, along with a Lazy Susan-style setup of salsas and toppings. Unfortunately, this was a bit of a miss for me--there were raw onions, raw jalapeños, a green salsa, and more of a plain red hot sauce rather than a true salsa. I would have preferred something more traditional like a good pico de gallo or a more balanced house salsa. Ordered a bottle of Dos Equis, which at $7 felt a bit steep. Most entrées were priced between $17-$25, which is pretty standard. I had the carnitas and they were excellent--really flavorful and well-prepared. I also tried a bite of the chile relleno, which was solid as well. Overall, the food was good and the service was strong. That said, it's a bit out of the way for me, and while I enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

The rice and beans had the right amount of flavor and the jalapeño had the right kick. The server was really friendly and gave great recommendations on drinks. The restaurant had good lighting, noise level wasn't too loud, and the vibe was pretty chill. Plenty of parking and easy to get to.

Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area. Definitely will be back.
