My order was made correctly and very tasty, even though the jalapeno topping was not spicy. But the hot dog was mini sized, a cute lil thing I could fit in my pocket. Also, parking and traffic in the area were a nightmare on Saturday evening (it's what you'd expect in East SJ).

I have only tried their quesabirria special and it keeps me coming back. You get these gooey cheesy tacos and all these toppings, plus consommé, which is super tasty, and a free drink for all of $10. The lady is so nice and the wait is not long. This truck is now one of my go to's spots. Even though they are right on the street the cars passing by its not even loud or dusty, people even stop on the street to pick up or you see people in their cars enjoying the consommé.

You can't miss this purely white and pink booth. She sold out her popular item which was the pancake. I'll have a chance to try again when she open's tomorrow.

I will update my rating when I try her pancake. For now, I will post pics of her menu. She accepts cash and Apple Pay.

The tacos are better than expected here. Three tacos and a Coke was $12 and change. The big plus, a…read morebig plus really, is it's located at the same plaza as an Asian drinking spot. Every few blocks on this stretch of Alum Rock Avenue has a similar setup: A truck/food stand for mainly to-go orders with very limited seatings. A regular taco is two small soft tortillas with your choice of grilled meats. You then have to add toppings and condiments at a garnishes station. Let convenience be your deciding factor then.

I was craving tacos and found this place randomly on Yelp. I used to frequent another taco truck in…read moreESSJ but I'm usually not in that area anymore so I've been searching for a late night taco option closer to me. Damian's is located inside a plaza on Alum Rock and should be easy to spot. There's a cart stocked with cilantros, onions, limes, salsas, jalapeños, and grilled onions that you can add onto your tacos, as well as ketchup and mustard for your hot dogs. Their tacos are $2.50 each with the exception of Lengua which is $3. They also offer bacon wrapped hot dogs for $4. We tried.. Pastor - This one was okay. Not bad but nothing special. Chuleta - I've never heard of this until now, but it's smoked pork chops. It tasted like bacon and was surprisingly good. Would recommend. Tripa - I didn't have any, but the boyfriend said it's the best tripa tacos he's had. Most places don't offer tripa, and the places that do offer it cook it a little too crispy. He said this one was the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. Would recommend. Cabeza - This is my favorite taco meat and they did not disappoint. Soft, juicy, tender. Would recommend. Lengua - Their lengua obviously has been braised for a long time. Most lengua is a little chewy but this one melts in your mouth. Unfortunately we prefer our lengua with a slight chew but this was still good depending on your preference. So tldr: Would recommend the cabeza and tripa tacos, and give the chuleta tacos a try if you like bacon. They're cash only so be sure to bring cash.

The taste was very similar to what we get back home, with options to makes the water spicy or sweet. The owners are friendly. They saw my 3 year old and gave a couple puris for her to munch. Only thing is, I would have liked it even more if the pani puris were served live instead of serving the pani and puri separate on a plate. Would enhance the experience. Nonetheless the pani puri was tasty and very reasonably priced.
