Great location colocated with freewheel brew in Fremont. Good thing is there is a a lot of parking since both open after hours for most places. Beer and Mexican food sound like a perfect partnership. There is a lot of outdoor seating and some of it is right next to a fire pit. You can get tacos and eat in the brewery and get beer and drink it outside. The two main things to note here are the carne asada was the best protein though some parts were cut too large and had too much gristle. They only take cash and Zelle and part of the hold up in line is how long it takes to make a Zelle payment so come prepared. Tacos: We got al pastor, asada, and cabeza. We like the al pastor more at the place near Target but the carne asada is very good here. Note if you "ask for everything" thy put guacamole in and prefer it with just onion and cilantro. Vampiro: like a normal one but they grilled the tortilla till it was almost like a tortilla chip and prefer it not so crispy. Tasted great and like the tacos it comes with onion, cilantro, and guacamole.
Scammed place. I went to get tacos yesterday on Tuesday around 6:10 pm and bought 2 tacos. They charged me $9 dollars instead of $8 when it's 4 dollars each. It was my first time here and I didn't know there was no tax. I came back again the next day and I bought the same thing, 2 tacos and they charged me 8 dollars. I asked how much is it usually? And they said 8. Be careful. It looks like someone in the review also mentioned being scammed.
This spot is going viral and rightfully so. It's a little randomly located - right down the street from the Tesla factory(?). There's also a pretty long line on weekends but they make the food pretty fast once you order. Cash or Zelle only. Onto the food! I wasn't a huge fan of their vampiro - it was more hard than it was crispy and had a bit of staleness to it, however, the carne asada was incredible! You can tell it's been freshly grilled (as if the smoke everywhere isn't evidence lol) and it was super flavorful and juicy. I also tried their lengua and cabeza tacos. Cabeza was very tender and well seasoned, it was delicious and everything that I'd expect from a good cabeza. The lengua was ok - it was definitely on the watery side and my tortillas were falling apart from all the broth after the drive home. The flavor was good but not as great as the cabeza. The tacos are well constructed and my bf was very happy with the portion size of the burrito he ordered. They definitely don't skimp on the meat, which imo is very important in this economy. I also appreciated that their orange sauce packs a punch and is actually pretty spicy, so no notes from me there! I'm a salsa verde loyalist and theirs didn't disappoint either. Overall I'd highly recommend - it also shares the space with a brewery so the ambiance and vibes are there with plenty of seating.
Have seen this spot splashed all over social media, and after hearing that my best friend's co-worker said they were the best tacos in the Bay Area, I had to see for myself. Certainly the best tacos in Fremont, but I have to say the vampiro is my favorite item. Loved the fresh, hand-pressed corn tortillas and the mango-passionfruit agua fresca. All the meats I tried - carne asada, al pastor, and pollo - were seasoned well (might veer on the salty side, if you have a lighter palate) and grilled perfectly. Cash or Zelle. No Apple Pay or Venmo.
happen to stumble on this spot while driving through the back roads to get back home as I noticed there was a huge crowd here. I looked it up only to find it was La Humadera! I looked up their menu, prices, and reviews and they did not disappoint since all the reviews were great I had to pull up with the bestieeeee. We came and we conquered and ordered 1 of everything we wanted. IT was a really cold night when we came with tons of wind so make sure you are warm if you come here! They offer grilled onions and veggies and pickled veg! I loved everything we ordered. so happy we drove past and decided to check em out. soooo worth waiting in the cold as I loved it all and am a FAN! cant wait to get some more grub from La Humadera real soon!
I've started to crave the tacos from La Humadera. Love the al pastor, thick tortillas and the green avocado salsa. They're on the higher priced end for tacos, but I think they're worth it. Line and the wait can be long sometimes, especially Friday night. Love that I can go to Freewheel to grab a beer while I wait. Bring cash!
So glad I made my way around because La Humadera is definitely worth the social media hype. I appreciated their fresh corn tortillas and their salsas! I liked mixing 2 at a time for flavor. I usually am a die hard fan for salsa verde, but the flavor ended up being more mellowed out with how deliciously SPICY the orange salsa and creamy green salsa were! CASH OR ZELLE ONLY. NO VENMO. I liked having variety with my plate as the tacos come with guac, and quesatacos don't. Tostadas were skippable in my opinion. RECS: + Al pastor was smoky and delicious, and it's cooked on the trompo too! + Lengua paired nice with the quesataco, but I'm honestly not an expert on what good lengua tastes like PASS: + Carne asada was a bit dry and underseasoned
This review is long overdue, but La Humadera has been my favorite taco spot in the Bay Area ever since I first discovered them back in April 2025 -- before they even had a Yelp page! I've been back several times since, and every visit has been just as delicious as the first. I only wish they were a little closer to the Peninsula. Their freshly made corn tortillas are incredible. You can immediately taste the difference in both texture and flavor. The meats are consistently juicy, well-seasoned, and just delicious with their hot sauces. I went to school in LA, and La Humadera easily rivals some of my favorite spots down there, which is saying a lot. They can be a little tricky to find if you've never been before, but I uploaded some directions they posted to their Instagram to help make it a bit easier. I'm so glad to have a place this good closer to home, and I'm secretly hoping they open a location on our side of the Bay someday. Until then, it's more than worth the drive. Highly recommend!
This is some of the best Mexican food you can find in the Bay Area, coming from someone who grew up in San Diego! The moment you walk up, you can smell the meats cooking, and it immediately gets your appetite going. I ordered the asada burrito, and it was fantastic. The toppings were mixed evenly throughout the burrito, so every bite had the perfect combination of meat, toppings, and flavor. We also ordered tacos with chorizo, al pastor, and lengua. Each one was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The queso tacos are a must-try, the melted cheese grilled directly into the tortilla adds an incredible texture and richness that takes them to another level. We also had birria tacos, which unfortunately weren't photographed, but they were excellent. The meat was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the consommé. Pro tip: save the leftover consommé and dip your other tacos or even your burrito into it for an extra burst of flavor. The sauces, sides, and limes are self-serve, allowing you to customize everything exactly how you like it. Despite having a constant flow of customers, the service was quick, efficient, and organized. One thing to note: they are cash only. Overall, if you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican food in the Bay Area, this spot is absolutely worth a visit.
BEST TACOS IN FREMONT!!! We were so excited to see they arrived early on a Sunday afternoon. We were having drinks at the brewery and La Humadera was up and ready to sell by 3pm. The food was absolutely delicious, so flavorful and legit. They had the trumpo!!! Pastor was bomb, 15/10!!!! The have diff salsas, cucumbers, HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLAS and everything is cooked up and assembled fresh for you. The prices are reasonable and not overpriced like hella restaurants. Just another reason why street vendors are a better choice. My husband is Mexican and even he was raving about the food saying it's authentic and hella good! The strawberry frescas was absolutely delicious and had some cream in it. Seriously, I'd go back just for this, trust!!! Pro-tip: All the seating is outdoor and not covered. Anyways, so happy I moved to Fremont AND found my go-to Mexican spot.
Adding this review to say that although these tacos were not bad, it was not so much worth going out of the way for me. This felt like one of those experiences where social media duped me again, since I've been seeing so much hype over this place. Anyways, onto the details-I went on a Wednesday evening around 8pm and it was very busy. They share a parking lot/area with a brewery so seating area looked like very chill vibes - I would definitely recommend going here for tacos and beer if you are looking for a late evening place to hang out. The wait from standing in line (with about 3 people in front of me), ordering, and receiving our food was a total of 21 minutes - so pretty average wait time. Food-when trying a new taco place, I like to order at least 1 pollo, 1 asada, and 1 pastor since these are my top 3 and I like to just see which I like the most. Unfortunately, pollo was all sold out so I got taco 1 pastor, 1 taco asada, and decided to try a quesataco with asada as well. My husband got his usual, quesabirrias. Tacos are $3.50, quesatacos are $4.50 and quesabirrias are $5.00. Pretty standard food truck type prices. Asada taco had good flavor, but sadly I must have had bad luck because I had so many grizzly pieces I couldn't enjoy it without spitting out so much cartilege. The quesataco disn't really add enough umph to be worth the extra dollar (if you're thinking of crispy cheese skirts, this isn't really that). I do like that they are generous with the amount of meat and toppings, especially the guacamole. Al pastor was decent but didn't stand out to me. Quesabirrias were not crispy but the birria and the consomme were fine. The birria was actually kinda on the dry side, so the consomme was much needed. Overall, would I get this again? Yes, I will never pass up tacos! However, I wouldn't really go out of my way for this, there are definitely a few other Tijuana style taco places I would go for instead.
Those tacos were incredible--I enjoyed every single bite! The meat was tender, the tortillas tasted freshly made, and the guacamole was flavorful. Despite the long line, service was impressively fast, and I was helped right away. The stand was also easy to find, even in the evening. I ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos, and both were cooked to perfection. I even overheard a customer raving about the burritos, so that's definitely on my list for next time! There's lots horchata was perfect very authentic tasting like it was just made! There's lots of available parking in the next parking lots - I wasn't sure how to enter this particular parking lot because I did see cars but that was confusing since there are chairs and tables available to sit. The only challenge was communication--I ended up with four extra tacos (which I paid for) due to a language barrier. Just a heads-up, they accept Zelle or cash only, so be prepared.
My wife was craving some Tacos and I searched Tik Tok to see if there was anything near us that was worth trying. La Humadera was the first to show up and I was excited to see how close it was to us. Off we went. [[ Important Notes ]] 1.) Parking Be prepared for some difficult parking. Technically the only parking is the entrance BEFORE the Freewheel Brewing Company entrance but it's easy to miss this one. Then you are forced to park behind Freewheel Brewing Company but that is a private company lot and I guess it can be risky. Since it was the weekend, we decided to take the risk and parked there for convenience. 2.) Payment They accept cash or zelle (there's a QR code at the register area) for easy payment. I used cash instead since I felt that was a lot simpler and potentially safer in my opinion. [[ The Good ]] 1.) Price - The prices are very fair in my opinion and reflective up the quality of food you get. No issues. 2.) Food - It was generally pretty tasty and they have a good variety of food and drinks for you to try. We ordered the following and I will star the ones I thought was worth it: a.) Taco - Asada b.) Taco - Pastor 3.) Taco - Chorizo* 4.) Taco - Lengua* 5.) Quesabirria* 6.) Large Agua Fresca* [[ The Annoying ]] 1.) Seating Seating is minimal and is shared with the Freewheel Brewing Company. The seat is slanted inwards so it's hard to sit up and eat. The lot is ALSO on a SLANT so things can easily slip away. We came on a cold/windy day so we were not only slanted but everything was flying all over the place and it was super hard to eat. Very not enjoyable experience. I would recommend buying and taking it to go and enjoying at your own home. 2.) Service Everyone was really nice but since things are made fresh to order, it can take a while to get your food. If there is a long line ahead of you, be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes.

Taco truck with AMAZING Tijuana tacos! Came here at and got the carne asada tacos. Each taco is $3.50 and loaded with steak, onions, cilantro, and guac. The meat was so juicy and good!!! One of the best carne asada tacos I've had in the Bay Area the past few years. Their tortillas are pressed and made on the spot making them extra fresh. They also have limes, radishes, and green + red sauces at the self-serve table next to the truck to customize your order. One thing to note is that they only take cash and Zelle. Another tip is to check their Instagram for the location because their new location is different than the one listed on some platforms. read more

The food here is so,so good. The tortillas are homemade which make them so soft. I've come here multiple times so I've tried several different things. The chicken tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and even the drinks are literally all delicious. My brother loves the lengua and cabeza meat options. They also have salsas, limes, and all the extra sides. At times when they are busy, it can obviously take some time to get your food, but it's definitely worth it. They are set up by a brewery so the vibes and ambience are super chill. You get to sit outside on the chairs. I believe sometimes they also have those little outside fire tower things as it does get super cold at night. I will say I love going there when it's cold because having fresh and hot tacos in the cold is just a different experience. read more

Stopped by around 6:30 on a Saturday. There was luckily no one in line, but there were 3-4 people waiting for their orders already. You order on the right side, and it looks like they take cash or Zelle. There were 2 small tables which I believe are for La Humadera, and then there are also small table and chairs, but it looks like those are for the brewery next door. You may be able to get away with sitting at the outdoor brewery seats without buying a beer. As for the food, ordered the lengua taco and the super burrito. I was curious why the super burrito was $25, but it was almost a footlong. You can easily share it with 2 or even 3 people. There was a good mixture of meat and other ingredients in the burrito. You didn't even really need any extra sauce on top of the burrito. The sauces they do have are on the spicier side, so keep that in mind. The lengua taco was very soft, but you will have to add some more toppings and sauce to it as I believe it only came with onion & cilantro & meat. I'd say this is a great spot, but not sure if I'd drive too far out of my way for it because of the lack of seating. read more

Overall: 5/5 Quick answer: run here! My fiancé is picky about burritos (SoCal standards), and this is hands-down the best burrito and taco spot in Fremont. I had La Humadera on my list ever since I saw the long lines at their old Automall Pkwy location. We finally came on a Saturday night around 9:50pm. Thanks to other Yelp reviews, we found it easily--it's in the parking lot of Freewheel Brewing. Plenty of outdoor seating, and you can conveniently grab a beer from Freewheel if you want. Parking is limited, so we parked next door and walked over. The vibe is chill but busy--people were still lining up right before closing. Staff is really friendly and fast. What we ordered: * Carne Asada Burrito (5/5): Believe the hype. Smoky, tender meat, pillowy rice, and a freshly made tortilla. I usually go for tacos, but this burrito is a must. * Tacos (Lengua & Pastor) (5/5): Perfectly cooked, flavorful meats on fresh corn tortillas made on the spot. * Horchata (5/5): Rich, creamy, cold--even without ice. Awesome first experience, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Not a taco truck, but more of a food stand that has an agreement with Freewheel Brewing Co. They are regularly in front of this local brewery in a business/industrial area. And more of an extensive operation where they'll set up worktables under a canopy, where a kitchen crew of 4-5 churn out Mexican street eats like a machine. I think they are only there in the evenings, as even the brewery doesn't open until 4:30 pm. They have a couple of tables across from their kitchen, but the brewery has tables inside their space, as well as outdoor patio furniture out by the entrance. But in what I've seen in a couple of visits, a lot of people just do take-out, drive in then out. And they are surprisingly busy, like a line of 10 or more can form at any time. And if a line does form, then your wait time will increase. I had 2 orders in front of me and it took about 10 minutes to get my food. I've heard reviews where 20-30 minute waits can be had. They make their own corn tortillas so that is a big draw for them. And they'll make various street foods with those tortillas. From Tijuana style tacos (slathered with loose guac), some items filled with cheese and meats and some even deep fried until crunchy. Their menu only list ingredients and prices, so if you don't know what a Mulita or Vampiro is, then you may have to ask the register dude. Cash and Venmo only. Tacos ($3.50/4*) They do Tijuana style tacos so they are street sized but topped heavily with thin guac, almost sauce like. They look small but they fill them pretty good, so you can get 4-5 bites per taco. Carne Asada: they grill their carne asada over an open charcoal grill, which is money. Since they set up their kitchen outdoors, they are able to pull this off. If they had to cook 'inside' of a truck, then they probably would have to grill on equipment ran on propane gas. I can taste the charcoal grilling, which is probably why they chose their name 'Humadera' which means smoker. But even tho with good grill flavor, their chopped beef still comes off as super plain and borderline blandish. They probably only season with salt, and I think they can be a little more bold/creative with these flavors. The guac sauce is just meh to me, more to moisten the tacos than to flavor. Al Pastor: on this taco I requested for no guac sauce, as I wanted to taste their pastor meat from a legit spit (trompo). The layered pork is nicely roasted then shaved into thickish strips. Great texture but again the pastor spicing is definitely on the light side. A great taco for me is if it doesn't really need salsa, but the salsa can be used to elevate it further. Imo I think their tacos 'need' one of their salsas. Now their salsas are pretty damn good. They have 2 green ones, one being their medium burn. Their hottest one is a pureed cooked tomato one, so it is smooth and quite orange. That one has a good heat to it, probably cooked serranos. They also have huge containers on ice next to their salsas that have sliced cucs, radishes and lime wedges. And with every order they'll give ya small paper plate with grilled serrano chilis and whole grilled pearl onions with the skin on still. I felt that was a super nice touch to their presentation. Quesabirria ($5/4*) They form the corn tortilla for this slightly bigger than for the tacos. Just white melty cheese and very soft and shredded birria. The flavors were great, basically Mexican pot roast in quesadilla form. I just wished the tortillas were grilled to some crispness, at least some edges. This was completely soft and mushy. So soft that I didn't want to dip it into the small cup of broth. But after tasting that broth, not salty nor greasy but quite beefy, I just added cilantro and onions to it and just drank it like soup. I was so legit, that I just couldn't waste it. So with decent beers from next door, I found this to be a legit option for Mexican eats in this town. Even though not conventional sit-down, still worked for me. Worthy of a repeat. read more
They have a variety of meats and they're all pretty tasty. The carne asada has a perfect smoky char that sets it apart from your average taco truck. Handmade tortillas for the tacos. Prices are fair. They allow you to pack your own salsas, and everything tastes fresh and is made-to-order. It's a popular spot, so there might be a short wait. Cash or Zelle only! read more

Delicious TJ style tacos with that perfect charred, smoky flavor. The line can get pretty long sometimes, but it's totally worth it, and there's plenty of parking which helps. They've got a salsa bar (the orange sauce is my favorite; spicy and packed with flavor). I love the mango agua fresca to cool things down after the heat. The rice and beans are also a great extra that really rounds out the tacos. read more

Amazing Tacos. Tortilla is pressed and made on the spot. Easy to find. They are right by a brewery. Decent amount of parking. Open pretty late but go there early so they don't run out of guac and agua fresca. Vampiro is a must try! Cash and zelle only. No card or tap. read more

I'm a sucker for a Tijuana-style taco, so when these popped up on my IG, I had to give them a try. Right away, I noticed a passion fruit agua fresca tucked behind the usual pineapple, strawberry, and horchata. I couldn't believe they weren't showcasing it, I've never seen passion fruit agua fresca served with the seeds still in it. Even my Mexican fiancé agreed, that was a first for both of us. The al pastor, though, was a bit disappointing. It didn't have that vibrant red color that usually signals bold, flavorful pastor. From the first bite, it felt like something was missing, and then I hit an unexpectedly crunchy piece... definitely not something you expect in pastor. I don't usually order carne asada, but after seeing how much my fiancé was enjoying his, and how tender and flavorful it looked, I had to try one myself. I'm glad I did. It was delicious, with an almost smoked brisket-like consistency. 10/10 would recommend the asada! read more

Finally a legit taco spot in Fremont! They are set up in front of Freewheel brewing. They have some picnic tables and seating outside. Cash or Venmo only. Lots of variety of meat. Hand made tortillas. We got the tacos, mulita, and quesadilla. We also got the passion fruit Fresca which was very refreshing. Meat quality and taste is very good and the salsas are great. My only complaint is for the pastor, they do not have pineapple. Prices are fair. Will definitely be back again. read more

There was a LOT of buzz about this place. Mostly by those TikTok-ers who claim to be foodies praising every single place they go to. I had to give it a try tonight. It wasn't what I thought it would be. It was like any other stand in Fremont, but there's a difference... flavorless. Location is set in a parking lot, with plastic chairs and tables. A typical taco outside joint. There was nothing special about this one. Service was nice I give it that. Btw, cash and Zelle only! I've yet to find any places with Venmo. Now onto the food. Handmade Tortillas, meat, avocado sauce: no flavor. My jalapeño had more flavor than the entire 4 tacos and vampiro combined. I tried each piece separately as well. The flavor was just not there. The carne asada was chewy as well. Chewy with no flavor. Sorry but I made better handmade tortillas. This isn't a hate review, I was REALLY waiting to come here and expecting something different with all the buzz on Instagram and TikTok - but it just wasn't up to par - and I'm a TACO LOVER, like... look at me. Maybe it was all these influencers just trying to hype up local food places just to get their cut or something. But good luck guys! I'll try it again sometime in the future and give it another chance. read more
I ordered 4 tacos: 2 carne asada and 2 al pastor. The handmade tortillas are good but the meats were so bland. Salsa was okay as well, with the avocado one being the best in my opinion. Each taco is $3.50 and came with onions, cilantro and guacamole. My total came out to be $19 with a horchata. Horchata was standard but a bit sweet. The food was so-so. Honestly, this taco stand was a miss for me and I found it to be lacking. Lots of people were waiting and ordering but service is quick. read more
IMO one of the better taco truck spots in Fremont. There is a brewery right by the truck where you can pre-game the tacos. I got 2 Cabeza tacos, 1 tripa, 1 lengua and 1 pastor questaco. The pastor and cabeza were my favorites. I saw people ordering the quesadilla and it looked really good so I'd love to try it in the future. The pork and cheese taco was a very nice combination + the cabeza meat was suuuuuuper tender & juicy. One thing that stood out to me was their jalapeños. It was so tasty with the right amount of spice + crunch. There's a sauce bar where you can load up sauces, lime, radish and cucumbers. I enjoyed the guacamole they had here it was super flavorful. The vibe of this place is lots of fun you can park and have the tacos in ur car or where there is outdoor seating by the fire. I'll definitely be coming back. Make sure to bring cash read more

I come here all the time, best tocos I have ever had in my life. Lines are long but worth the wait. The smells when they are cooking make you hungry, making you love every single bite of each taco/burrito. Highly recommend! 5 stars read more
This place is new. Every time we drive by, it seems like there is a line here. We tried it today and found it to be really good. We normally drive out to San Jose when we want tacos. This is our new favorite. It may be one of the best we've been to in the Bay Area. Highlights: 1. They press their own corn tortillas right there. 2. The carne asada is cooked over charcoal. You can really taste the smoky flavor. 3. They are very generous with the meat. A $3.50 taco has a huge handful of meat on it. 4. Lengua is tender and juicy. 5. Grilled jalapenos and onions available on request We tried the quesabirria taco. For $5, it was loaded with meat and included the consume. The Bay Area has some great places for quesabirria and this is one of them. For $3.50 each, we tried three types of tacos: carne asada, pollo asado and lengua. They did a good job with all three meats. They season their chicken so it has a little more kick than the typical street taco style. Carne asada were both great. Also a good value because they include guacamole. The $13 burrito was excellent. We really liked that smoky flavor of their carne asada. They also have agua fresca here. We didn't try it on this visit but plan to get it next time. After this experience, there will definitely be a next time. 5 Stars! read more

This place is bomb! Get the Vampiro, taco, or corn quesadilla. As for meats I recommend the asada, cabeza, or pastor. If you get tripa the. Make sure you tell them to cook it extra crispy. No other taco stand cooks meat on a charcoal grill so make sure you come here to taste the smokiness read more

Might have found my new favorite taco stand in the Fremont area! Our group of three got the quesadilla (asada), tacos (pastor & lengua), and quesabirria. I would immediately order all the same items again. The quesabirria was definitely the star of the show. The quesadilla itself was of a pretty large portion. The three of us had a hard time finishing it all, but we didn't regret it at all. There's a parking lot and it's also stationed next to a beer pub. Can't wait until my next visit! read more
