    Carne asada and al pastor tacos = $4
    Jenn W.

    $2 greasy street tacos. Nothing fancy and not something I would go out of my way for but whenever they are parked at my local brewery, I definitely look forward to a carne asada and al pastor taco.

    Two veggie super tacos. SO GOOD!
    Lana S.

    Vegetarians, look no further for the best taco truck in the San Jose area. El Taco Loco went well beyond the standard sad veggie tacos. Though I can't personally attest to their meat dishes, one of my meat eating friends said it's definitely their top taco truck as well. I ended up getting two super veggie tacos, which really ended up being several small corn tortillas covered with the taco filling, so you couldn't really pick them up without getting your hands completely covered - fork recommend. They use a sauce that builds up some heat but not too much. Overall service was great and it only took a few minutes to get food. We went to the truck at Hermatige Brewery, but I'm not sure if that is the permanent location. I wish the location was a little more central, but at least there is plenty of seating inside and out.

    My favorite the chicken quesadilla
    Joanna A.

    THE BEST TACOS!!!!! And quesadillas and burritos and everything!!! I was on the hunt for THE BEST tacos for a while! No place provided everything that a taco needs! Great taste Perfect salsa Amazingly seasoned meat Choices choices choices I'm so GLAD we found this taco truck! NONE COMPARES!

    The menu on the side of the truck as of 1/27/17.

    Went here a few more times and I gotta say that their carnitas burrito 100% became my favorite in the bay area. Highly recommend.

    I tried their tacos at Strike Brewing, and the Al Pastor tacos are the bomb. For $2, you get a decent amount of meat. Yummmyyy!

The tender meat was seasoned nicely and blended well with the rice, beans and other yumminess. The side salsas were spicy hot but the best touch was the spicy pickled onions. I grabbed one slice to try and WOW was it full of pungent hotness. A great addition to the burrito. Service was quick and welcoming. Ambiance is hard to rate because it's a food truck in the Lowe's parking lot. But what I saw was a clean area with other patrons enjoying their goods in their cars. It might be an advantage if the truck move a bit to the right near the big oak tree so patrons can utilize the cement tables and read about a lil history of the area on the info boards. Or if that's not feasible provide a portable table but that may not be an option since in a private parking lot. As a recommendation, it would be a nice touch to add a small baggie of chips for a lil crunch. Highly recommend and will be back to try the tacos.

It's clean and has a lot more space than the truck. Food might take longer because of the demanding service. Fried chicken is always consistent and leaves little room for improvement.

First the good, Your favorites are still there and are just as good served across a counter as they were handed down from a food truck window. We split their sliders with Louisiana Rub and fries and loved them as we always have. Secondly, it was a bit slow on this Thursday night. I believe Jojo's Kooser road customers haven't found their new home. Third, some thoughts on the location. It's clean but utilitarian and basic. I'd love to see it get a little soul and perhaps provide more of a nod to the food truck past. Maybe also expand the menu with the larger kitchen? Jojo's still has the sandwiches we love and it will be fun to watch it grow into its new space. (Loved the Jeremiah and Corinthians references too. Appropriately hopeful)

This place is for eating there only. They have benches. Sunny and Love both were awesome. I ordered Chole Kulcha, Chili Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Chap, Roomali Roti; Chole Kulcha- I don't have to eat Chole with it. Kulcha itself was very good, crispy and filled with masala. 5 star Chili Chicken- Quality of chicken matters the most. It was very good. 5 star Tandoori Chicken- Quality was great. Juicy, need to eat there only. 5 Star Chap- Need to eat right away. Don't let it wait otherwise it will loose its texture and taste. Taste when it is hot, good mixture of spices and chutneys with it. Onion enhances the flavor of it. 5 Star Roomali Roti- probably the best Roomali roti. Does not matter where they make it. They put butter on it. It does not get chewy or gets dry. 5 Star Sunny and Love they work hard to make it happen. Kudos to them. Noticed, while I was dining, two people came in and expected them to deliver right away and they left. Guys, give them a break, Truck opens at 4:00pm they have to set up the Tandoor it takes time atleast 45 min. To warm up. You can't expect to serve tandoori items right away.

It was pretty calm during the day and didn't seem to get a crazy amount of foot traffic, which I actually enjoyed because we were able to sit down, relax, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere without it feeling crowded. Between our food and drinks we spent around $46, so I would say it's moderately pricey, but everything we had was good. I had a birria taco from Mi Lindo Apatzingán, my husband got four tacos, and we also got rice and beans that we really enjoyed. Our food came out pretty quickly, definitely in less than 10 minutes. We also got sour apple drinks from Las Cherry's. The drinks took a little longer, over 10 minutes, but there was only one girl working at the time, so it was completely understandable. The drinks were refreshing and I definitely want to come back and try more of what Las Cherry's has to offer. I really like the whole concept here because there are so many different food trucks in one place. There's plenty of covered outdoor seating, TVs to watch while you eat, and colorful decorations that make it a fun but still calm and chill place to hang out. Even with some of the trucks being closed, there were still plenty of options. I would definitely come back, especially to try more from Las Cherry's and the potato food truck that caught my eye!

    Before any of these food trucks became popular, we'd always refer to these trucks as "Roach…read moreCoaches!" Do any of you remember that? Whenever I'd hear about a food truck back in the day, the first thing that would come to mind is prepackaged food. However, those days are long gone! These food trucks are now capable of whipping up gourmet meals that could potentially rival any local sit down restaurant. At this particular location, the trucks only come out on Friday night, with 9-11 different trucks to choose from. They also provide live music and fun games for the family. They do provide 5 gallon buckets that are used for seats, and a couple of planks/boards that can be used as tables while you are scarfing down your food. Some folks just bring their own chairs, as those buckets eventually make your ass pretty sore. These are the trucks that will be here on Friday 10/30/15 333 Truck Chairman Truck Fairycakes Gold Rush Eatery Oh Miso Hungry Sam's Chowdermobile Sanguchon Treatbot Waffle Amore As you can see, it is pretty diverse. From a cupcake to a lobster roll, take your pick! Side note: If you plan on staying for a few hours, bring your own chairs! Your ass will thank you later. Conclusion: Who wants to keep track of where a certain food truck is going to be next week at 11:30 AM on Wednesday? Show up on a Friday night and you can treat yourself to about 10 trucks at once. It doesn't get any better than that. ***Minus 1 Star for some of the ridiculous prices***

Ice, ice cream, ice cream paint job."…read more Plenty of food trucks to go around: Treatbot - Single Scoop $3.00 (Many flavors) The Chairman (Bao) - Steamed Tender Pork Belly with Turmeric Pickled Daikon & Green Shiso $3.75 Sam's Chowdermobile - PO Boy and Fries (Fried bay andouille with remoulade, toasted bun, and old bay fries) $8.75 - Sam's Lobster Roll (Maine lobster, warmed butter, toasted bun) Regular $16.12; Shortie $10.59 Tina's Tips and Tantrums - Parking limited, but free - Long lines are to be expected - Someone stands in line and someone save seats - Tummy was only hungry for three - Sam's Chowdermobile is always good especially their lobster roll. Super generous about their lobster! - First time, I've never had the Po Boy (andouille - slightly spiced) but it was good and oily though. Fries were bomb! - Chairman's pork belly bun was delicious, a wee bit on the greasy side - Ice cream flavors we had were Ube - Purple Yam, Old School Vanilla, and The 408 - Caramel Ice Cream with Oreos and Fudge. I loved my "The 408" so yummylicious! - Always a great way to spend time with your friends and family.
