Listen. I didn't have a proper taco until I was 30 and moved to LA. My tortured midwestern soul knew only of Ortega taco kits. Hard shells. Sad vegetables. So, I'm always on the hunt for legit taco trucks. I haven't been well lately, but I just started taking a medicine that stops me from barfing. I took it as I was leaving the pharmacy, and this truck was right outside. The smells were calling to me. I was amazed that they had so many meat choices. The salsa and condiment bar was stocked. The prices were excellent. I might sell my house and follow them around, feasting on lengua. read more

Parking shouldn't be an issue and they have some outdoor seating that is locked away from the sun. Food is made fresh with lots of daily specials. Prices are fair and portions are generous. The best part of this place is probably the access to the salsa and topping more. Staff is kind. read more

The asada was extremely undercooked. It also had the guey texture of old gummy bears. I use to wat here 10 years ago. Their asada use to be AMAZING. Grilled. Well seasoned and well cooked. Now its like these losers just gave up. Either that or they purposely didnt cook mine bc Im not part of their "latino" tribe... read more

I ate here once prior and today is my second time. I ordered Al pastor Alambres and asada tacos. I love sauce and good tasting meat. Taco trucks are one of my favorite things to eat and I have tasted A LOT of different ones! A random person referred this one to me and I gave it a try. It's relatively close to my home, they make the food quick and have reasonable pricing. Lots of good sauces to go and a nice well lit sitting area. I will definitely be returning here for as long as they come to this location! One draw back is that it's cash only and there aren't any tables. But it is definitely worth it! read more

This truck is fire. The tacos are delicious. The asada fries were packed with toppings and the fries have a little seasoning to them for that extra flavor. Quick service and friendly staff. They have good music playing while you wait for your food. read more

El Primo Taco Truck - Outside of food truck - Food Trucks Near Me

Impressive! Had the al pastor, cabeza, lengua, and asada. Damnnnnn good, especially the all of them. But the showstopper was the green tomatillos salsa! The salsa was so tasty and the specks of roasted tomatillo skin gives the salsa a sexy smokiness. And. And and they have pickled onions! read more

Very nice people and great food! Chicken tacos are my favorite, a must have! There's a parking lot right in front of it

Amazing food and amazing service! Take every person I meet here! The carne asada tacos are my favorite!

I'm not certain as to whether or not most people just grow partial to the taco trucks closest to their home, but it's kind of difficult to resist temptation if you're standing within 30 feet of this one. The smell of various meats searing on their grills is enough to convince you to break a fast or forget about your diet altogether. Though I haven't the opportunity to eat here often, my favorite items to order are tacos de lengua or a tripas torta. The tripas are the perfect combination of crispy/chewy and the lengua is always full of flavor; never too chewy and never dry. Aside from the menu items, the salsa bar is always stocked with cilantro, radishes, onions, limes, and 4 different kinds of salsa, all varying in spice-levels (or lack thereof) and flavor. I typically grab 1 or 2 of the salsa verde (spicy) and roja (spicier) but will sometimes fill a few containers with the avocado salsa (not spicy) that they have. It heavily compliments just about any of their available menu items without instilling the fear of an impending heat-stroke (not that I don't adore my tongue being ablaze from time to time..) It also works well with the radishes I love to stuff my face with. :D (There's also, like.. a basic pico but that's pretty staple, ain't it?) Aside from their salsas being tastier than what most others around the area seem to offer, (please don't take offense, anybody. o_e;) staff is always super friendly and allow that I take radishes and salsa even when I've no money to purchase anything. The cooks are easy-going and great at what they do and the cashiers are always very sweet, so please don't forget to tip if you can. (: They also seem to put up with the local berserkers pretty well but it's something you (still shouldn't have to..) get used to, I suppose. You won't regret stopping by this truck for dinner or, if you're feeling fat (or, uh, understandably famished) - a late snack/meal. The atmosphere is welcoming (there's a long row of benches to sit and eat if ya wanna), the surrounding aroma is delightful, and the food is always cooked to perfection. Given how fast they sometimes prepare your order, surprisingly accurate, too. Though I've yet to try all of their available menu options, my experience here has been nothing but positive. I can guarantee the same for anyone who decides to give them a try. I believe they're only open from early evening until midnight, so be sure you arrive when the truck is actually there; it ain't hard to miss, especially because of the alluring neon signs flashing away at, like, 60fps. :) read more

Great tacos !! I love the Carne Asada fries so much ! So many things on the menu to choose from Sopes , mulitas , Salads , Quesadillas , Tortas , Hot dogs , Alambres and more ! Everything is very clean and sanitize ! read more

You can't find a better taco truck. Period. I've had some of the best, most flavorful carnitas ever here, with just enough burnt ends to add a toasty wholesomeness to the meat. For $7, you can get a hefty burrito (which holds together nicely), along with freshly fried chips, whole beans, and sauteed onions and jalapenos, not to mention there's a fresh and salty salsa bar. Tip: lately they're parking at the Burbank/Van Nuys intersection. read more

Visited the taco truck parked on Van Nuys and Chase on a Wednesday.... just a day shy for the $1 Taco Thursday deal... next time for sure! Ordered a bunch of Tacos and every single one of them was delicious! Seriously...Great tacos. Asked for tacos de cabeza, asada, tripas (extra crispy), and lengua. The chef was generous with the flavorful meat in them all and served them with literally the most simple yet DELICIOUSLY DELICIOUS tostada with frijoles "del olla"...I really don't know how they made it taste so darn good, but I'll take it! They have several different salsas to try, and I have to give them big thumbs up on them all! Chef also added spicy roasted serranos and sweet sauteed onions for an extra treat. Great tacos! read more

Superb!!! this is the best food truck in The Valley, fresh salsa, good quality meats, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend.if you around Van Nuys and Oxnard read more

Actual Location: Reseda/Saticoy My Favorite Go-To spot for delicious Tacos, Tortas and Burritos. I've never been disappointed, even my picky Mexican Mother loves it and that's where she always wants to go eat when visiting out of town. The aren't stingy with the salsas and fixings, PLUS they give you a free Bean tostada with your taco purchase. They are there everyday of the week after 6pm and open late. read more

I really don't understand why there are such high reviews for this truck. Every single night I always drive by it and I ask myself two questions: "how" and "why". Before I gave this truck a chance, I would always drive by it and I would see long lines and big groups of people ordering food. Long lines means the food must be good right? One night I was in the mood for tacos or burritos. I was in the area and I decided to give it a try. HUGE mistake. I ordered two carne asada burritos; one for me and one for the sister. These burritos should be named the onion and cilantro burrito. Neither my burrito nor my sisters had enough meat in it. Ever single bite was just onion and cilantro. And on top of that, these are literally the smallest burritos I've ever seen. What a disappointment. The salsas were also weak and flavorless. Never again. Don't let the lines fool you. Maybe they are there asking for refunds? read more

CONVINIENCE is always a plus (: so this truck I guess is the new truck on this block therefore it is the one I go to. So they got all hi tech and have a register and they accept credit cards! woohoo lol they also have a food grade A (: the tacos are very tasty and their red salsa is really good. They do charge taxes now which was only a matter of time before the Taco Trucks began to tax as well so can't really complaint on the fact that you end up paying about $1.35 per taco. Its def worth it though. read more

Yummmmm.... !! Delicious food, if you love spicy food then you must try this food truck spot. The truck is parked on saticoy and reseda near denny's plaza.

Ever since we relocated to the area, we ended up this taco truck more than the others around the area. Really good asada tacos. Pretty much all I ever order but their quesadillas are also good. I recommend trying them for those movie nights at home. read more

4 stars instead of 5 food was awesome but I came here a few days ago got a burrito the beans were whole pinto beans, I was expecting refried but I was like eh whatever and actually the beans had a strange taste to them .. I also got carne Asada tacos they are awesome ! Only thing I didn't like I paid extras for cheese on tacos and they put 5 on a plate and just sprinkled the cheese over all of them so when I would eat each taco it was like only half the taco had cheese :/ I'll put pics so you can see read more

Midnight cravings...it's not King taco but it's good enough! Line is long and it can take a bit if you have large order. Please let them know to go easy on the cilantro if you don't they might like to put a lot. Also you might have to tell them what you want in it. read more

Finally tried this truck the other night and can't believe it took me this long to do it! They are so good! I love all the salsa options. Going to go back often! read more

Just average unfortunately. Went there yesterday and picked up a buck of carne asada tacos and one burrito. The flavor just isn't there. You can barely taste the meat and therefore need to add salsa and all the add ins to make it tasty. Even then it's average. read more

After twenty plus visits over two years, I still have never seen another white person enjoying the unique offerings of this mobile Mexican eatery. The truck moves down PCH as the morning progresses, starting near Malibu and eventually ending in Pacific Palisades. From 7:30 - 9 am, the truck is typically stationed at Topanga and PCH, but always good to call ahead and confirm the location. Breakfast Burrito - $3.75 It is unlike any other; a thin piece of ham steak, crispy bacon, diner-style greasy hashbrowns, thinly fried/scrambled juevos and thick slices of melty cheddar cheese. It might not be the best bfast burrito, but it is delicious in its own way. Highly recommended. There are a lot of other menu items, including all the standard meats you would expect like carne asada, carnitas, etc. in taco or burrito form. And Sopes, which are very popular with a lot of customers. But I just can't bring myself to deviate from the deliciousness of their unique breakfast burrito. Instead of buying an overpriced (and mediocre) pastry from your coffee place, or even worse grabbing preservative laden chain food (a la Jack in the Box), hit up El Primo for some delicious home made Mexican food. read more

Had late-lunch from here today.. While it isn't the best taco truck I've tried, they seem to have that spot locked down, typically busy; it seems like they're Always parked there! (Saticoy/Reseda). Gf had their chicken torta which was pretty good actually. All the works, with an unexpected twist: ham! Not sure why they add the ham, but no complaints there. I had two tripas tacos and two buche tacos, both were just OK. The tripas were better than the buche, though again, not the best. Also got a plain asada taco for the kiddo, which he actually mostly ignored because they give you this tasty little tostada w/each order topped with plain, whole beans which was another welcomed surprise! We all actually really liked the beans and the tostadas, nice little touch. Next time maybe I'll go with a torta myself :) read more

The best tacos in valley!!! The staff so friendly!!! The red sauce is super hot super good !! Thanks guys
