    Carne Asada street tacos with really great homemade hot sauce. Incredible.
    Leanh E.

    Wow! Great carne asada street tacos at a very reasonable price. $1.50 each. Very tasty and their homemade hot sauce is da bomb! Had a few tacos after the Wookie Run with an IPA beer from the Brewers Cabinet. What a great day-- Run, delicious fresh street tacos and beer. Espinoza's food truck isn't in one central location, but he did say they do a lot of events and catering. Never would imagine that such superb Mexican food could come from this small little truck.

    I've never heard of this food truck before until it came to our complex for dinner this evening! Husband and I ordered two asada tortas and two pastor tacos, no onions! Oh my goodness, everything was so wonderfully delicious! The meat was cooked to perfection and the sauces were so creamy! My husband devoured his entire meal by the time I was half way done haha. The two people running the truck were both super friendly! The guy taking our order told us we can order up to 3 different meats on the tortas. Definitely something I want to try next time. I will now be on the look out for this food truck!

    Espinoza's is one of the best food trucks in town! From the simple menu to the friendly, fast service to the delicious Mexican food, this taco truck will meet and exceed all of your greasy, food needs! They offer the typical array of meats such as asada, pastor, pollo, birria, chorizo, lengua, and even suadero, but they do food better than many of Mexican restaurants in town. I decided to get the suadero burrito, and for $7.00 you will definitely get your money's worth. This burrito was hefty. Filled with lots of meat, rice, and beans, this burrito will definitely fill you up. The suadero was cooked to perfection and was extremely flavorful throughout. I especially loved the texture of the meat. Some parts were crispy, while others were fatty and melted in my mouth. I also tried a bit of the quesadilla, and let me tell you, this is no ordinary quesadilla. It was greasy from the fresh cheese and on top of that, you can get the meat of your choice. The service and people inside the food truck were great! Although English did not seem like their first language, they understood my order and were quick to making the food. My only comment about the service is that the people inside need to speak up a little bit when calling out numbers/orders. I was there when there were only a few people left, so it wasn't much of a problem, but I could see it becoming a concern when people cannot hear their orders. Other than that, the service was top notch! The atmosphere of the food and the food truck can be a little hard to describe, but I think the best way to describe it would be family-oriented/home-y. The employees have a sense of family and it really shows in the food. They seem to love what they're doing and they want others to experience that and their food. Overall, I would highly recommend Espinoza's! To find out where they'll be in town, check their Facebook page!

    A short and simple menu.

    Another week...another food truck near the office. With a very limited menu I found myself pleasantly surprised with a lunch that made me wish I had additional room in my stomach to try more. I went with a carne asada burrito and two pollo tacos. It was more than I should've eaten but I wanted to try more than one item before passing judgement. The burrito was thick and the length of my paper plate. The tacos were only a $1.50 each and came with radish, grilled onion, and lime. The hot sauce was truly "hot" and not the mild to medium most places use to play it safe. The good...The food was very favorable at a great price. They have many different meats available to customize your order without the hassle of going to a brick and mortar tacqueria. The food was perfectly cooked. My order was ready in less than ten minutes even with a coworker lunch crowd which meets one of my big criteria for any lunch place. The bad...I have nothing bad to say about this operation. Good food. Great price. Friendly. If I have to nitpick, they do all the ingredients so well it's a shame they don't do some kind of taco salad. I'm sure it would be delicious. A friend recently asked why I would review a food truck. Truth be told I just want to be consistent. However Reno hosts the "Food Truck Friday" event during the summer months in Idlewild Park. I hope to see this truck there this year.

    Got to try this Food Truck on a Friday! It was absolutely delicious and on Cinco de Mayo no less! The food isn't too expensive and you get what you pay for! Food: The menu was very impressive including some meats, you don't usually see like lengua (tongue) and suadero (skirt steak)! I got the lengua quesadilla which was delicious, a bit greasy but filled with flavor! I saw a few others get the burrito which was massive, so I'd suggest giving that a try! Overall: A The food was delicious and extremely flavorful, I hope I can catch this truck again!

    Asada torta
    Deanna L.

    This was our first time eating from this truck, but it won't be our last. We ordered a pastor torta and an asada torta. They food came out in under 10 minutes despite three people ahead of us. The sandwiches were huge, not the small one in the picture. We brought home almost an entire sandwich. The rolls were soft and pillowy. The queso was perfectly melted. The modest amount of lettuce and cilantro was crisp. Both had a lot of meat that was juicy and well seasoned. I also got some of their "hot" sauce. It was great and made my nose run! Both employees we interacted with were polite. We loved that they had a shade shelter up to wait for food out of the sun. Each sandwich was $7.00 which was cheap based on the amount meat. We will definitely visit this food truck again!

    Plate of al pastor tacos!
    Toni R.

    Decided to try Espinoza's at the most recent Food Truck Friday at Idlewild Park. I was craving al pastor tacos and these were perfect. I ordered 13 to share and one of the cashiers was extremely surprised. I actually only ate 5 hahaha. The tacos themselves came with double tortillas, radishes on the side, and lime wedges. They were only $1.50 which is exactly what I wanted especially on a college student's budget. I'll be coming back!

Nothing over the top, just a comfortable environment that lets the food shine. Overall, a dependable spot for quality tacos with good service and a relaxed vibe.

    It was the perfect evening for Food Truck Friday. Tonite's review is all about Rick's Pizza…read more The gal who took my order was absolutely lovely and the pizza was fresh and piping hot! Can you believe I got two slices for $8.50 what a deal! Not many items at food truck Friday under $10 bucks, so I think I scored big time! I love enjoying the Idlewild park beauty with the Truckee River run through the park! It's so fun to see all ages out on a Friday night! It's one of my favorite things to do in the summer! Next time, you don't know what to do, grab your lawn chair, a cold drink and come and experience one of many food truck choices! There is something for everyone!!!

First off, I have to admit I completely underestimated the magnitude of this event as Idlewild Park was pretty poppin and parking was nearly impossible. After we finally found a spot to park, we grabbed out chairs and headed to the Park. After picking our spots by the duck pond, we walked around a bit to survey the offerings. We tried three different trucks and sampled some pretty delicious bites. Some of the lines were a long wait and some were moving along pretty fine. But there's pretty much something for everyone. I would definitely hit this up again, but probably try to arrive earlier to plan better parking. It was a bit of a challenge navigating this for the first time, but at least I know what to expect now. I really wish my hometown had something like this. May try it again later this summer.
