    a plate of food on a table
    Judy V.

    Super affordable. Rating it a 3 star since there was no frill with this burrito. They were generous with the carne asada but the flavoring wasn't that great. The meat texture was kinda grainy. But I really can't complain, you pay for what you get. I can't remember the last time I spent $11 on a super burrito. Overall, I would come back and maybe try a different protein next time.

    Al pastor super burrito
    Evelyn H.

    No-nonsense taco truck at the corner gas station in Milpitas with a core menu of staple items. They take credit cards which is a huge plus. I ordered the super burrito with al pastor and no onions. The food was made relatively quickly and the taste was on point. Great flavor in the meat and just a hint of kick. I didn't think I'd finish a super burrito, but alas, I slayed it to its core and enjoyed every last bite.

    I order 1 Al pastor 2 cabeza.... I was a little disappointed I been wanting to try this place for a while now, one of my tacos had a big chunk of idk why it was and my tortillas were soggy. Service was awesome lady was nice and I didn't even wait five minutes for my food super fast service. We ate in the car there's no seating.

    This was my first time having Joe's Taco Shop and I can't say I'm disappointed. With my daughter's…read moreschool having an open house event, they set up a few food trucks to be on site to feed the hungry crowds. There was a total of 2 food trucks and 1 dessert, leading to long long lines. The staff handled the lines well and food was being dished out as fast as possible. Purchases: *ASADA TACO *LENGUA TACO *PASTOR TACO *Strawberry Lemonade(???) Drink The tacos were good. So good I made my way back into the line and purchased a few more asadas!! The meat vs tortilla ratio was great, although lengua was a little skimp. Meats were tender and cooked well. The salsa portions are small and I would have enjoyed more instead of having to ration my portions but it was still good. 4 stars for my first try with Joe's Taco Shop. Plating was good even in the hectic environment and I really enjoys the grilled onions. Cucumbers- not so much [I thought that was kind of random]. I would absolutely dine here again.

The flavor of the food was underwhelming. The sauces also I did not enjoy. The decent part of our meal was the jarritos soda which had nothing to do with the quality of the food. Overall I do not recommend.

    Finally stopped by Tacos Tres Reyes and grabbed 1 al pastor taco and 1 asada burrito with…read moreeverything on it to go. I love how packed with meats the burritos and tacos were! I'm not sure if I completely missed it, but I couldn't find the salsa bar that so many other reviews mention. I checked both the indoor seating area and around the food truck itself, so maybe I was just blind that day. The sauces themselves were honestly really good though, maybe even a little too good because I feel like I drowned out a lot of the actual meat flavor in both the taco and burrito. The orange sauce has a really nice spicy kick that I enjoyed a lot, and the green sauce tasted super fresh and flavorful. They also gave extra grilled onions on the side, which seriously elevated the whole meal for me. Service was pretty quick and everything came out hot and fresh, which I appreciated. I did have a little bit of difficulty communicating with the cashier since there was a slight language barrier and my Spanish is pretty limited, but we still managed to get everything sorted out without too much trouble! I would definitely come again another day for lunch!

    The spot is a taco truck but there's ample covered seating with a full salsa bar nearby. Service…read morewas quick and the staff were friendly. I recommend taking the food "for here" if you have some time to spare so you can experiment with their salsas, which are the stars of the show. Just be careful and try not to load the tacos up as much as I did, because the salsas tend toward spicy (my favorite). Don't miss out on their pickled carrots, onions, and jalapeños. All tacos come with grilled onions and lime, which are excellent additions. I tried the Al pastor, asada, carnitas, and chicharrón. My favorite were the carnitas, which were well seasoned and tender. The Al pastor had a good balance of sweetness from the pineapple. The asada was solid. The chicharrón was kind of gelatinous and I didn't enjoy the texture but that's more a stylistic choice than me thinking they were bad.

    Overall a good spot for quick birria. We got the quesabirria and the portions were big, with…read moremultiple tacos per order. The taco shell had a great crunch and the birria meat had really good flavor. It also came with extra consommé on the side for dipping, which made it even better. I haven't had a ton of quesabirria, but my first thought after the first bite was basically, "wow, this is the best quesabirria I've had!!" A couple small downsides: the free chips were a bit stale, and they were out of rice on a Sunday around noon. There's plenty of outdoor seating in the gas station parking lot, and the outdoor dining area was fairly clean with some umbrellas for shade. For dine-in, they served the food on a plate, which was a nice touch for a food truck.

    Food Rating: 6/10 Price: 7/10…read more Ambiance/Service: 6/10 Overall Rating: 6.3 Came to the stand at around 7 on Saturday, and initially we wanted al pastor tacos, but the owner said they only had enough meat for 2. So we decided to get all asada tacos instead. We were picking up a single taco for a friend to try who doesn't like onions, so we asked for 8 tacos with everything (cilantro + onions) and 1 taco with no onions. When we got home and opened the plate, we had 8 tacos total (I checked, and we were only charged for 8), 4 of them were meat only, and the other 4 had only onions. The truck itself was on a nice corner and had a clean setup. There was a small seating area in the back with tables and chairs. The person working the truck was also really nice and friendly, but unfortunately, I don't think you can get an order this wrong. The prices were also hard to find. Tacos - $4.25 Rating: (6/10) Without cilantro, I feel like this taco is already below average. $4.25 per taco is also a bit high for a stand like this, though they do give a large amount of meat. The meat had pretty good flavor and was cooked for just the right amount of time. The green salsa was also really good. The taco shells were way too oily, and, maybe just as a personal preference, I don't enjoy lemons with my tacos ... limes are a must.

Ambiance: Outdoor patio seating only, very vibey. Good place to sit down and talk Tostada mixta $10 (3/5): This ceviche was HUGE. This contains 70% imitation crab, 10% shrimp, 10% octopus, 10% vegeatables, and 2 tostadas. Having this much imitation crab was not my jam, it overpowered the actual fresh seafood. Definitely filling by itself, but I personally would rather order the shrimp and octopus ceviche next time. Burrito $10 (4/5): Not your typical big fat burrito with a bunch of stuff inside. It's a little bit creamy but not saucy. The salsa on the side enhances it. Fish tacos $3.50 (4/5): Solid fish tacos, huge portions as well. 2 of these would be filling for me. Would get these again, the bomb.com Thought the prices were a tad expensive, but getting your money's worth, HUGE portions. Would come back again for the tacos.

Their food is flavorful and delish. Their portion size is very good. The chips area also really good, as-is their two salsas. The chips area nice and crunchy and they will refill them if you ask. The two salsas compliment each other well. One is a Pico de Gallo, which has the right amount of spice to it. The other is tomsto sauced and fairly spicy.

My husband had mentioned concerns about the service before, but I hadn't personally noticed any issues until today. In the past, I usually visited with my Mexican family. This time, I came with my husband, who is not Mexican, and I noticed that our server seemed to overlook him unless he was actively placing an order. The most surprising moment was when she removed his plate before he had finished eating. That really caught me off guard and left us feeling awkward. I hope this was an isolated incident because the food has always been enjoyable.
