    Breakfast burrito
    Stephanie C.

    Came here and got a carnitas super burrito and a ham breakfast burrito. I liked the super burrito - that was really flavorful. The breakfast burrito tasted fine but it didn't have much texture. With the beans and the eggs, it just felt quite mushy. I wouldn't get that again but I'd definitely come back for the super burrito.

    Tacos de Tripas y Tacos de Lengua, add avocado | $13 for 4 tacos including tax (+2.9% charge for CC's)

    4.5 STARS With inflation and prices getting out of pocket, CHEAP EATS is where it's at... TACO TRUCKS! As many times as I've driven by, I had no idea there was a taco truck here at this Chevron (down the block from the H Mart plaza)...well, technically a converted transport van. I was at Main Street Cupertino....craving lengua tacos and Yelp had my back with Frontera Grill (not related to Rick Bayless). Compared to the east side not many legit Mexican eateries on this side of W Man Jose/Cupertino area and I knew I was in the right place when there were only Spanish speaking customers. M E N U * Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, enchiladas, fajitas, and mariscos (seafood). Birria de res served on Fridays and Saturdays. * Meat choices: Carne asada, carnitas, pollo, tripas, cabeza, al pastor, milanesa, lengua, chorizo, camaron, pescado, and tinga. Hella cheap....tacos are only $2.39 each! Cc's accepted but there's a 2.99% surcharge. F O O D * Tacos de Lengua y Tacos de Tripas (4 tacos - $13 including tax): https://bit.ly/3zxawWe ***Add avocado. ***Tacos are served with grilled onions, jalapeño, radish, and lime. The tripa was my fav of the two...large pieces of tripas (beef tripe) that's nicely chewy with fatty, caramelized crispy edges. The lengua (beef tongue) was beefy and tender but could have been softer. The tacos were served on a double corn tortillas that were soft and pliable but quite wet on the bottom from the juices. The salsa verde was bright and punchy with heat. I should have asked for the orange salsa so next time! S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes with one person ahead of us. A M B I A N C E There's three stools for sitting (no tables), and cement ledges in the shade where you can enjoy your food. P A R K I N G Not sure if you're allowed to park at the several spaces in Chevron. But, we went inside their mini mart to buy some drinks so we could park there. Overall, legit tacos that hits and a great value to boot. Great place to hit up after all the impulse buying at H Mart! 4.5 stars rounded up for value.

    3 different meats tacos: Lengua (beef tongue) , Tripa ( tripe ) and Camarones (shrimp )

    Frontera food truck is located at Deanza and highway exit at 1188 S De Anza Blvd. Probably the best taco truck I've tried so far. What made them stand out for me was the meat options for lengua and tripe. Not the usual menu options you'll normally see at other trucks. You'll have to park at the McDonald's lot and walk over since the truck is situated at a gas station w limited parking. Tacos:4/5 I got 3 different kinds of meat tacos: Lengua , Tripa and Camarones. Lengua was super soft , Tripa was creamy and well seasoned. Im definitely going back to try other menu items . Homemade sauces were amazing..just the right kick to round out the food truck experience. * Support your local food truck business , they are what makes this area unique and fun to discover with friends that are visiting.

    Al pastor super burrito
    Linda M.

    Been needing a legit burrito fix for awhile. Surprisingly not too many spots in the area. Went to the orthodontist on a Saturday morning and decided to drop by and see if I could scratch that burrito itch. Located in the same lot as a gas station, parking was a little tight but I found a spot in the lot. Street parking was full. There were 4 other guys in line when I got there, but the ordering process was pretty quick. I really came here for the quesabirria, but spent too much time looking at the main menu and no time looking at the specials listed next to the ordering window. Missed the quesabirria which is only available on weekends. Not disappointed with the al pastor super burrito that I did get though. My order didn't take that long, service was good. Got some salsa verde. Prices were reasonable for the bay. My burrito was a good portion and was pretty bomb. Would definitely return and try the quesabirria! And even the al pastor burrito again.

    Hands down still my favorite taco truck in Cupertino area! Parked at the Chevron station on De Anza, you can't miss this orange and red truck. My go to is their al pastor super burrito, which is grilled on the plancha. The burrito itself is loaded with al pastor, beans, rice, pico and avocados. Always ask for the green sauce! They take cars with a slight up charge. If you go during lunch, expect a slight wait time as people call in ToGo orders as well. Support this local mexican truck for sure!!!

    We all have heard stories of gas station food, but this one is a delight! They propped up right next to the Valero gas station on Mission and Bismark St across the Jefferson High School. I order 2 carne asada tacos and a chorizo quesadilla, and it was only $12! And the portions were much more for the price since I can't finish the quesadilla after the tacos. This is a cash only no-frill taco truck that I am going to have to try out their other menu items. If you want a quick and awesome Mexican street food, I definitely recommend you to try this taco truck.

    *CASH DISCOUNT* - They charge an extra 3% for card The food truck is in the Chevron parking lot, next to McDonald's and across from 85 bakery. It's a bright orange truck so it's super hard to miss. I ordered the carnitas burrito, and my experience with it was okay. The flavoring was definitely there - the onions were more raw so it was quite sharp (but also leaves you with bad breadth so be careful!), and the salsa they gave added just the right amount of spice. It was also really filling - I'm someone who normally doesn't finish the whole plate when I eat out, and with this burrito I only managed half of it before getting stuffed! The one qualm I had with the burrito was that I thought the carnitas could have been better. Usually, I imagine carnitas as pretty soft and juicy, but here they were more rough and dry. Flavor of the carnitas was still pretty good, but the texture definitely could have been better.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

The service is not the best and you have to try hard to catch the servers attention. The food was better this time, but not as good as many other Mexican restaurants. It is not what I consider authentic Mexican food.

We waited 1.5 hours to be seated while half the restaurant sat empty. After we were seated, it took about 30 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted drinks, another 30 minutes before our order was taken, and then an hour for the food to arrive. Throughout the wait, several servers were gathered in the corner talking and laughing while tables--including ours--were left unattended. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the service. The meat was dry, lacked flavor, and the shrimp was so chewy that I couldn't finish it. It was honestly one of the worst shrimp dishes I've ever been served. I've seen countless influencers giving this place glowing reviews, and after eating here, I simply don't believe them. My experience was the complete opposite. If you appreciate good food and good service, I would strongly recommend spending your money somewhere else.

The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing.

My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.

Our waitress accidentally thought we had only ordered six tacos instead of twelve, so we initially received six tacos, one side of rice and beans, and were still waiting on our drinks. When she came by and noticed one of us wasn't eating, she asked if we were waiting on anything. We explained that we were still supposed to receive six more tacos, another side of rice and beans, and our drinks. She apologized, brought our drinks over right away, and the rest of our food came out quickly. Even with the mix-up, everything was handled professionally, and we appreciated how quickly she fixed it. We originally sat outside, but decided to move inside because of the bugs. The inside of the restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Since it was the Fourth of July, it wasn't busy, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The salsa bar was being prepped, but our waitress gladly brought us fresh limes when we asked. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was friendly, and even though there was a small mistake with our order, it was corrected quickly without any issues. We'll definitely be back!
