You know those places you randomly find on a road trip? The ones tucked away on a street corner or hidden along a U.S. highway, where you hesitate for a moment before deciding whether to stop? Then you give them a chance and end up completely blown away. Glenn's Taqueria is definitely one of those places for me. About 4-5 years ago, I was driving from Reno, Nevada, to Los Angeles via US-395. Since there aren't many places to stop along that route, we pulled over at Glenn's food truck because it had a large shoulder area where we could park safely. We ordered a few tacos, and they were so good that I immediately ordered burritos to take with me. Later that night, after eating those burritos, my only regret was not ordering a few more. Ever since then, I've looked forward to driving this route again just so I could stop here. Today, as I left Reno heading toward Los Angeles, I already knew Glenn's Taqueria would be one of my stops. As soon as I pulled over, five other cars arrived as well, and the place suddenly got very busy. Despite the rush, Glenn handled everything quickly and efficiently. I ordered beef and chicken tacos to eat on the spot, along with beef and chicken burritos for later that night and the next morning. Just like I remembered, everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back again. This place absolutely deserves 5 stars, and I'm not surprised to see that nearly 100 other people felt the same way. read more

Always great food. This is our go-to on our way up north when traveling during the week. The shrimp burrito is my fave, but everything is good! They accept cash and Venmo now too. read more

I was on my way to Gardnerville, Nv and needed to stop to get some food and had a lovely surprise at Glenn's Taqueria in Independence. He was very kind and helpful and the food was great! read more

A+ Taco Truck food! Quick, easy, and consistent. And if you want to eat there they have a great atmosphere and tidy dining areas. Just as good as taking it home, or enjoying it in the go. My favorite menu item is the shrimp taco (this far from salt water seems daunting) beat shrimp taco I've ever had. And this far inland, it's a refreshing surf food. Great people as well! read more

Very good food. Great prices and very accommodating staff!! I loved the cheese mulieta. It was yummy and they had a great salsa bar.

Great good. Very good prices. It's truck food with some tables outdoors and even a few tables in a tent.

Amazing service and delicious surf & turf burritos quick and easy stop for anyone wanting just a quick bite!

Loved this spot --excellent marinated pork mulita and asada burrito at a sweet family owned shop. Definitely will be back to try their other tacos! read more

The best tasting food in town. We tried other restaurants other times but Glenn's taqueria was delicious! They have a large sides and sauces selection as well. I got the quesabirria and my friend got the torta. I would give this place a try if you're struggling to find good tasting food in Lone Pine/Independence. read more

Stopped here for lunch while passing through town and it did not disappoint! Both the chicken and carne asada were amazing, the salsas are delicious, and the server had a great, positive energy. Anytime we are in town, we will be coming back. read more

When driving to Mammoth the 14 and 395 can feel like a food desert, if only occasionally dotted with a fast food joint. But if you can time it right, please do stop at Glenn's! Friendly service, and the food was outstanding. We had a bean and cheese burrito, chipotle quesadilla, and carnitas burrito. Funny thing is, the five dollar bean and cheese burrito was smokin! Purrrr! Get that cheap eat! The carnitas were perfect, slightly crispy and juicy. And the quesadilla was pure yum, the best of all we ate! Exactly what the body needs after skiing all day and having to drive for hours! read more

Really great find for a 395 road-trip meal! Should have taken pictures before snarfing it down I got 2 tacos adobadas with all the fixings and all 3 salsas. I parked across the street in the shade (there was plenty of street parking). There was a nice little outdoor seating area but I ate in my car because of the air conditioning (it was close to 100 degrees out....) Didn't realize until later that they do have indoor seating inside the old gas station! That would have been cool to check out. The meat in the tacos was delicious, with really fresh tasting cilantro and great corn tortillas and salsas (though next time I will ask if they have anything hotter as I like it extra spicy). Service was fast and friendly and it was only $6 before tip. Perfect and satisfying lunch for a long trip up or down the 395. You do have to pay through Venmo or Zelle if you don't have cash but that is quite straightforward as long as you have one of the apps. Will definitely stop here again on my next trip up from LA, would love to try other things on the menu. I'm really glad I came here instead of overpaying for a bunch of gas station snacks ¡Gracias a Glenn's por un almuerzo muy rico y espero que todos se mantengan frescos con este calor! read more

Stopped by for dinner on our way to Mammoth. The food was delicious! It wasn't greasy but light and fresh. We appreciated the tented eating area. I highly recommend!! read more

So glad we didn't stop for fast food while heading north on 395. Glenn's was so good. You can taste the fresh ingredients that are used to make his tasty food. Prices Were good wapecially for what you get. We will be back next time we make the drive south. read more

The real deal! The tacos were so fresh and flavorful. Cheap and fast too. I'd love to try more menu items here. Will definitely return whenever we are back in Independence. Insider's Tip: Glenn's is at the same location as Jalisco Tacos, the other restaurant in the Yelp app. Cash only though Venmo in accepted form of payment. read more

I would definitely recommend, they had some breakfast options but I opted for a chicken bowl which was delicious. The bowl had rice, beans ( Martha informed me she uses no oils just smashes the beans--as I was looking for a healthier option) lettuce, chicken and drizzled sour cream. Very happy with this stop. Also they have seating and bathrooms on the side. Quick & easy stop on our road trip. read more

Delicious burritos, salads, and tacos. Several salsas are available, and the food is prepared quickly.

Absolutely delicious tacos! Carne asada was amazing, shrimp taco with chipotle sauce sooo good and al pastor also incredible. They even made a little plate of simple steak for my dog. Nicest people working here - will definitely return! read more

Fast, delicious, and plenty of outdoor seating. Good prices and service. Would recommend and return.

I'm not the type of lady who'll pass up a good-lookin' food truck when I see one!! Passing thru this area and had to try this place out! Great salsa. I mixed the red and the green together and got a perfect temp! Hearty burritos! Friendly service! Check them out! read more

Food was delicious, they have excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this spot. Great selections on menu, and amazing prices and the ambiance is very welcoming. read more

Got 3 tacos (adobada, asada, chicken) and a mulita (chorizo). Asked for the red and guacamole salsa, they had great flavor but could be considered over powering and doesn't give you a good taste of the meat itself. The adobada and chicken was okay, the asada was delicious as was the chorizo. The mulita was perfectly crunchy! All the tacos had a good helping of meat as well. They also have candy and drinks for sale. Definitely worth checking out when driving through. read more

Probably one of the best burritos Ive had, especially after a long camping trip by Big Pine. I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo. They provide plenty of salsa, and a nice shaded seating area by the taqueria. read more

So glad we found this awesome food truck on the 395! Food was great, especially their mulita with crunchy tortillas. We tried asada and adobada and loved both. Friendly service to top it off. Can't wait to come back. read more

Stopped by Glenn's on our drive down 395 and in desperate need of a lunch break. I certainly was not expecting to stumble across the best quesadilla I've ever had! This is not hyperbole. The quesadilla was wildly flavorful and was so thin and portable. Nothing was oozing out of the sides and I was able to eat the whole thing without the need of a napkin. Everything was flavored and chopped perfectly and I still can't believe how thin and delicious this thing was. I don't mKe the trip up 395 a lot but this will definitely be the stop I look forward to most next time I do. read more

Ok, so how many times do you find yourself driving straight through Independence, rushing to get to Bishop in time for lunch? Or home for that matter? Next time, instead of driving through, stop at Glenn's taco truck! You will not be disappointed. The street taco's at $2.50 each are worth it. The beans taste like they've been cooking all day (and probably have been). I would have given them five stars, but I don't want you to think this is a bogus review. I stopped there just tonight because I left my lunch at home and knew I wouldn't make it to Bishop without passing out from hunger. I went for one pork and one beef street taco with a side of beans. The spice and flavor scream at you and before I knew it, I ate them both (well, I left behind one of the shells). The cook in that truck knows just what she is doing - she was able to make some of the little meaty pieces crunchy! This poor town has been hit hard by COVID closures, so give them a few dollars and chow down on these wonderfully tasty tacos! read more

Got hungry heading back to LA from Mammoth and this came up on Google Maps. Was NOT a disappointing 4+* review if you know what I mean. It's a traditional food truck in front of what was a gas station at some point but don't let looks deceive you! They were on point with their carne asada (we bought 4 burritos) and their salsas were great please don't lower the heat!! Nice family run business I know I grew up in one myself so it brought back some memories. We're from LA and the land of tacos and this was legit so good!! Will make this a regular stop to/from mammoth!! Go try them out! read more

Super bomb Mexican food!! Always serving HOT and fresh food. My go to coming back from mammoth

Outstanding burritos. Perfect place to pick up some food when passing through Independence

Great roadside tacos shop on your way back from the mountains. Had the green wet burrito.

This is my first time to stop and eat at Glenn's Taqueria and I couldn't have been more excited! First impressions were wonderful with the fun festive colors and the mouth watering, stomach growling aroma in the air! I Was treated with lots of kindness and I can't really say enough how pleasant my experience has been! The food was incredible! This is going to be my new must stop destination whenever I am traveling through the Owens Valley to visit back home! read more
