    Torta asada $14
    Vivian H.

    No prices on the menu but seems tacos are ~$3-4 from other reviews. We ordered a torta asada ($14) and alambre pastor ($19) to try. Food comes out quick! Alambre pastor - they're obviously known for their tacos Al pastor but wanted something a little more portable and would keep for home. It was big enough for dinner for 2 but we needed a lot more tortillas! Couldn't possibly wrap that massive pile of meat in 6 (double thick but impossible to separate) taco-size tortillas. Very flavorful, though wish there was pineapple (or more - I didn't find it). They gave good amount of onions and cilantro to top, and salsas upon request. Enjoyed them all! The limes were dry. Torta asada - not a torta connoisseur by any means but would not recommend. The asada was so chopped I wasn't sure if I was eating ground beef. Was pretty flavorless and needed ample salsa with every bite. The avocado and cheese were nice inclusions and think there were some beans but overall torta fillings seemed unseasoned and light. Probably not gonna fill you up, even with all that bread.

    I ordered lengua, al pastor, asada, tripas and suadero. I don't know what it was but I got highly explosive and liquid diarrhea and this was the main place that I ate at for the day. Will not come back ever again. Shame because it's in a great location right next to the beach. I think it could have been the toppings? They are packaged in little plastic bags and thrown in a self-serve heap.

    Leo's is a no-frills taco truck that keeps the focus on flavor. Special shoutout to the al pastor with pineapple -- tender, well-seasoned pork with those sweet, caramelized bites that make it hard to order just one. If you get the vampira make sure to eat it right away when it's still hot and crunchy don't wait like me it was cold and it becomes tough to eat. Toppings like salsa, onion, cilantro, and radish are provided on the side so you can build it your way. The setup is exactly what you'd expect from a solid neighborhood food truck: straightforward, efficient, and focused on flavor over flash. Service was quick and friendly, even during a busy stretch. It's the kind of spot you hit when you're craving something comforting and authentic without the sit-down restaurant fuss. Fast service, fair prices, and a great location right across from Ocean Beach in the parking lot next to Motel 6. Perfect post-beach taco stop.

    While walking to the ocean beach, I noticed a food truck with a long line of people, so after seeing the great reviews, I decided to give it a try. You need to place your order at the passenger-side window of the truck. If no one is there, just stay in line, as someone will come by to take orders. After ordering, wait until they call your order number. When picking up the food, they ask which sauces you want. Since it was my first visit, I chose all four, one of each. The tacos came with chicken since I ordered Chicken tacos. I topped it up with onions, radishes, and lime juice. The chicken was excellent, and paired with the sauces, the tacos were delicious. My favorite was the dark red sauce, very spicy and full of flavor. The french fries were just okay. Overall, these were some of the best tacos I've had, especially for the price 3$ each, small french fries cost was 4$.

    Perfectly grilled, well-seasoned meat with great flavor in every bite. The staff is super friendly, and the food truck itself is nice and well lit, which makes it easy to spot and adds to the overall vibe. Solid spot I'd definitely come back to.

    Al Pastor, Cabeza, Lengua tacos

    I originally wanted to try this taco truck during a weekday lunch time, but when I arrived at 12:15PM when their opening time was stated to be 12PM on multiple websites, the truck was not there yet. Luckily, I had the opportunity to try recently on a weekday night. I got four tacos and three different cuts of meat. My friend was able to try their California burrito, which had a good mix and satisfied her craving for the night. Cabeza: It was pretty good, but not a standout. Lengua: It was tender, but not as flavorful as I had hoped. Al Pastor: This was my favorite, and better than most places I've tried! The Al Pastor was super flavorful, nicely seasoned, tender, and juicy. For around $3 per taco, I will be coming again to get more Al Pastor tacos!

    I was ecstatic to hear that Leo's was being brought up to SF from LA. I have no idea why it took so long for me to try them, but I finally got to on a beautifully sunny Sunday! The truck is located in a parking lot right by Ocean Beach once you exit Golden Gate Park, so it's very easy to get to. We ordered Al Pastor and Chicken Tacos. I LOVE Leo's al pastor--it's one of my absolute favorites. The meat is so juicy and flavorful, and the pineapple is really just the cherry on top. I also love all of their salsas. The price is reasonable, and the portions are decent. This truck really made me reminisce about the taco stands in LA, and biting into it felt so nostalgic. It's a great bite to eat after a stroll through the park or day at the beach! I highly recommend trying them.

    Leo's Tacos has some of the best al pastor I've had in the Bay Area. The meat is incredibly flavorful, and the addition of pineapple balances everything perfectly with just the right amount of sweetness & acidity. Their pineapple agua fresca is also fantastic. It's refreshing, well balanced, and pairs perfectly with the tacos. The staff is also very friendly, which makes the overall experience even better. One thing to note though is that when they just open and it's really busy, they'll sometimes cook the al pastor on the grill instead of cutting from the trompo (the traditional spinning vertical spit). Personally, I don't love that since the trompo is part of what gives al pastor its signature texture and flavor. The only reason I'm taking off one star is because they've been late opening the last three times I've gone. A short delay like 10 to 15 minutes is understandable since traffic and setup happen, but waiting nearly 50 minutes like today (3/8) is tough if you're trying to be mindful of your time. It would be great if they posted updates on social media when they're running late so people know what to expect. Still definitely worth checking out if you love great al pastor!

    I loveee Leo's. I heard about this place from a friend and went here on a Friday night. It's a food truck in a motel 6 parking lot. They have a lot of variety ranging from quesadillas, vampiros, tortas, tacos, etc. I especially love that they have so many different cuts of meat that are harder to find like cabeza, lengua, suadero, buche, etc. I definitely recommend the buche or suadero. Their speciality is the al pastor and you can get it dorado style (crispy) as well and it's well worth it. They also give you a bunch of sauces, onions, like, peppers, etc. My fav is the orange one and avocado salsa. The orange and chipotle one are def spicy so proceed w/ caution! It's about $3/taco, but I think it's worth it. I will be returning when I'm back in Ocean Beach :)

    Lengua and asada tacos
    Serena H.

    Tried a few different things when I came here for the first time, and when I come back again I'm going all in on the al pastor tacos. The service is pretty standard, you order and then you wait for your food. The al pastor is seasoned well, crispy, and they give a good portion. Tried the lengua and asada and those were a little dry, probably wouldn't get those again. Also got the alambre hawaiano which I had never heard of, but it was essentially a pile of meat, peppers, pineapple, onion, and ham. Comes with a stack of taco shells for you to assemble yourself, which is quite messy if you're trying to eat by the ocean. I would get it again to bring back home.

    Fresa Agua Fresca
    Thu N.

    Standing and eating tacos by the ocean while watching the sun set is a new core SF experience for me. Leo's always has a long line and for good reason -- everything is solid and prices seem reasonable (despite there being no listed prices on their truck). - Fresa Agua Fresca: Like a strawberry milk, if that's what you're craving. - Tacos: Seems like they specialize in al pastor. Both al pastor and carne asada were delicious and must be paired with the generous portions of onion and cilantro and lime that they provide! - Al Pastor Nachos: A heaping portion for what I'm guessing was $10-$15. I think the al pastor tasted more like bacon in this compared to what I tasted on the tacos, for some reason. Nacho chips are fried and crispy. They provide tons of sauce and it's fun to try all the combinations. Will definitely be back, regardless of how long the line is!

    Leo's AL PASTOR NEVERRRR DISAPPOINT! The thinly sliced pieces, yummmm! Especially with the added pineapple on each tacos, top tier! Glad to say that this is our go to Taco Truck! (Don't ever leave! ;)) Let's not forget the sauce options! Our fave is their habanero and cilantro-avocado sauces! So so so delicious! Pairing our food with a pineapple fresca, periodt. (Happy they're not stingy with their sauces like other taquerias) Let's not forget the amazing customer service! Perfect location, with plenty of parking spaces/street parking. For the locals like myself, it's an easy walk from Lone Mountain to the truck ;) Such a treat after a nice walk. Delicious food with an ocean view?! Hell yeah :) Bon appetite!

    Tacos of lengua and cabeza; plus condiments of onion, cilantro, radishes, limes, and salsas.

    Lengua burrito - generous with tender lengua and a touch of spice is very delicious. My wheelchair stroll along Sand Dunes Park and watching surfers at Ocean Beach, my late afternoon appetite is huge.

This place is famous for their burritos and especially the "Dorado style," which tastes amazing -- BUT what they don't clearly disclose anywhere is that the Dorado style burrito is cooked in pork lard unless you specifically ask for it "dry" or with vegetable oil. As someone who does not eat pork for religious reasons, finding that out after already eating there was honestly really upsetting. And the frustrating part is that there is NO clear sign or disclosure telling customers this. If I never asked, I would have had no idea. I actually still like this spot and appreciate that they at least offer a dry/vegetable oil option if you ask, but customers should not have to investigate ingredients themselves to avoid pork. Jewish, Muslim, vegetarian, and other customers deserve transparency. A simple sign or note on the menu saying that Dorado style is prepared with pork lard by default would solve this issue completely. Great food, but this absolutely needs to be disclosed better. One of my all time favorite spots in general.
