The customer service is 100%. The food is 100% a 10 out of 10 the wait time is 10 to 15 minutes. If you order a bunch of food if you order small mouse food they get it all within five minutes the green avocado sauce is the best salsa ever turn Overton this truck is not well known like it needs to be

Torta
Adriana A.

The best damn torta I ever did eat this place is soo good very I can only speak for the torta and aguas because i haven't tried anything else but I can bet all their other food options are just as top tier ! Don't sleep on this cute place, it's located off the side of the road by autozone and it's a bright green so you can miss it! Also the service is very much family vibes very nice and even remembers you! Very sweet :) it's always a pleasure visiting while in Santa Ana love this place and def rec

Still my number one go to spot. Favorite salsa is the amarilla. Sometimes I get the super spicy orange one. Scrap Taco Bell and get real food. Quesadilla is great too, lots of meat. Oh yeah, my brother will often come home with their food! He loves it too.

Me and my girlfriend have been coming here for the last 4 years! Great service & amazing quality. Our go-tos are their tacos & asada quesadilla. Highly recommend their jalapeño sauce -it's just right and has been the biggest reason we keep coming back!

Each bite transports you straight to Mexico City, and the grilled onions, nopales asados, and perfectly grilled jalapeño are all must-try combinations. The salsas are spicy but flavorful, and the service is fast and efficient. If you're craving street food, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it!

This pink taco truck located in front of a Northgate market has been a main stay in Santa Ana for a…read morevery long time. The menu contains a good variety of meats and food items. It looks like it could get pretty busy, but the line was very efficient and the people are very friendly here. The vibe here is definitely a fun mix of people looking for delicious tacos as well as some folks getting off of work and just trying to get a convenient meal on the way home. I think they're most known for their "battleship" taco, but during my visit I end up getting the surtido taco. This taco was a great mix that had a bunch of different textures and flavors from the different cuts, while being topped with sautéed onion and cactus. I will definitely have to order the battleship taco it next time I'm here. I came here later at night, so the market was already closed and there was plenty of parking around.

That won't make you go broke. Highly recommend visiting them on Taco Tuesday for the $1.50 tacos. Call ahead to order so you don't wait in line long. Amazing service, delicious food and horchata. They have tables so you can eat there as well. Use the lighter green salsa if you want it spicy. Been a loyal Taco Gutierrez customer for years now. Highly recommend trying.

When she gave me, my food let me tell one thing i was hungry and i felt the bag was heavy it just hit the spot. 10/10 service was amazing. Very kind. It wasnt hard to find. Did I mention that it comes with six sides of sauce also very good total for everything g i give it a 10/10 recommended!! Paid $57 and a couple cents we did get a a mancania soda.

I was honestly surprised by the 2.9-star rating because the photos made the food look delicious, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Overall, I thought it was great. The meat was really good, very flavorful without being over-seasoned or overly salty. I love hibachi-style food, but a lot of places tend to go heavy on the soy sauce and other seasonings, which can make everything taste extremely salty. That wasn't the case here at all. The flavors were well balanced, and nothing tasted salty or overpowering. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, they were soft but not mushy and I liked that they used large pieces of broccoli instead of tiny chopped bits. The only thing I didn't love was the $6 upcharge for fried rice. All of the bowls and plates come with white rice by default, and while the base price of the bowls was fair enough that I still went ahead and ordered the fried rice, the price difference feels a little steep. It seems like they could charge a couple dollars more for the bowls and a couple dollars less for the fried rice instead, because a $6 increase just to put the rice on the grill and add some sauce feels a bit out of line. Other than that, though, the Service was fast and friendly, the food itself was really solid and definitely satisfied my hibachi craving. I'd definitely go back!
