    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.

    Pastor burrito
    Leo L.

    I was craving a burrito after running some errands with the wifey. So we (ok maybe I unilaterally) decided to hit up this food truck I've seen around. They had other choices on the menu, but my kind was already set on a burrito. I went with the pastor (marinated pork) and the wifey went with carne asada (beef). A few minutes later, we had the burritos in hand. Also got 3 small containers of various salsa: red, green and a creamy orange. The last was my favorite. We split half-half, so both of us got to try both meats. The pastor was hands down the winner for me. It was soooo flavorful. Didn't really even need the salsa but adding a bit gave it another layer of flavor. I also happened to have some avocados and put a few slices in my burrito, which elevated it to another level if I do say so myself They accept cash or card but cash is a bit cheaper. I'm sure we'll be back again and again.

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

    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.

The prices are high, but hopefully all their people are making a good living and the portions are enough for our appetites at least. I had the shrimp enchiladas, and my wife had the vegetarian tacos with a side order of scrambled eggs. There was nearly a mixup as the waiter thought we wanted to order an egg taco and that's considerably more expensive but we got it straightened out with the maitre D. We also shared a Paloma cocktail with which has a pretty color and delightful taste.

This made it so seamless to reserve here. Our group got there at opening and our table was ready and most of the group was already seated when we got there. Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu.

Tasting the green (mild?) salsa was my favorite. It had a great tomatillo flavor with a creamy spiciness. It was a good reprieve from my main dish. A Paloma was my drink of choice this time. I'll preface this by saying I'm not a fan of tequila but when presented with the cold clay mug rimmed with salt and topped with orange and grapefruit, I was impressed. It was delicious, so refreshing, fragrant, and cold! A nice counterbalance to my meal. Chilaquiles was a dish I wanted to try. They had delicious chips again cooked in salsa verde. Covered with eggs (any style) fresh crema, avocado, and onions the chilaquiles exceeded my expectations. So simple yet so flavorful. Mixing up quantities of ingredients in each bite made for a delicious experience. My favorite element being the sharpness of the onions which cut the richness of the dish. I'm generally not a fan of refried beans but these ones had such a unique and satisfying flavor which complimented the dish well. My server, Luis was very helpful and quick to check in and make sure I was doing okay! I cannot wait to try out their fish tacos and various drinks from the menus next time!
