    Burrito asada
    Liliana H.

    Very kind and fast service. Amazing for a break after a hike or walk by the beach. $15 ish for a burrito. Fair flavors. Salsas veryyyy good. Hit the spot after an 8 mile hike. Clean place and have standing tables.

    What's better than the ocean/beach and tacos?!? I've been a super fan of Leo's tacos since my LA days, and when Leo brought one of his food trucks up to the Bay Area, it was inevitable that I would try out the tacos! The Leo's taco truck literally is located in San Francisco/Ocean Beach with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Leo's taco trucks are known in Southern California as THE taco truck for reasonably priced street tacos, that are beyond delicious. The experience at the San Francisco/Ocean Beach taco truck was great. For the most part it mirrors the LA experience, which is exactly what I wanted. It's like having a piece of home. Menu prices are nonexistent so there's no way to determine exactly what you're going to be charged. I ordered two Al pastor tacos, and was charged seven dollars which included tax. I really like that they always include a piece of pineapple with the Al Pastor. The tacos were absolutely yummy. The meat was flavorful, but definitely not as juicy as the LA version. Plus, they don't seem to be as generous with meat at this location as they are in LA. The talk of themselves are not the traditional small street tacos, and yet they're smaller than the traditional sized tacos. They do provide bagged condiments that include sauces and radish. I was super hesitant to try them because of some of the other reviews. Tasty tacos, and if you've ever been to Leo's, and you, in this part of the Bay Area, it's definitely worth a stop.

    Al pastor taco and lengua taco
    Evelynne L.

    Great tacos for a good price! And super conveniently located right by the beach. Came here on a Tuesday and super hot day, so it was packed! Waited in total about 35-40mins for both ordering and getting my tacos. They're known for their al pastor so got two al pastor tacos ($3 each) and one lengua taco ($4 each). The al pastor had good flavor but was a bit dry. The lengua was prefect though, has a good chew to it and great flavor. We ordered the tacos to go so they separated out the tacos and cilantro mix so it wouldn't get too soggy.

    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.

    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.

    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$.

    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.

    4 different salsas. The habanero one was really good.
    Phanna P.

    Was looking for a place that did lengua tacos and this place came up. 3 dollars for al pastor tacos and 4 dollars for the lengua. It was so good. The spicy sweetness of the habanero salsa is amazing. My new go to when I have a taco craving.

    Carne asada and al pastor tacos
    Wil L.

    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
    Anh T.

    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.

    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.

The food is good, and it's clear that people will fall in line for it. I don't mind going back. Chips: It's free, and it's chips w/ salsa. Enjoy it. Birria Taco: I think a lot of restaurants are starting to understand how birria is made, so I'm noticing that the average quality is going up. While the taste profile of the meat and the consommé are above average for this place, I feel that the birria that I eat is beginning to taste the same. Kudos on the size; some spots skimp on the size. Lengua Super Burrito: I think this is priced very well for a large burrito. I am a fan of their lengua, and I'm also happy to report that I didn't feel cheated with the lengua portion size inside the burrito. I tried their asasda, and it was bad, so I'm very happy that the lengua was very good. Service: You order, you pay, you wait for the food to arrive. Nothing crazy. Ambiance: It's a smaller corner spot, so you really gotta get lucky with the seating. The line can get crazy at certain hours of the day, so it's gonna be hard to sit and stay a while. I'd just eat here and move on.

Clean, welcoming warm, they invited us to try anything before ordering. We were ready to order the enchiladas divorciadas ($18.49) and breakfast burrito with guacamole ($16.99). We were kindly fussed over by a woman I think was the young owners' mom. She wiped down our table, brought chips and three kinds of salsa and my coffee plus cream and sugar. My son wolfed down the enchiladas with green and red sauces and I saved half of my breakfast burrito for dinner later. My burrito was deliciously filling - and I was super hungry - that's how satisfying it was! The owner told me they make the chorizo sausage in house. The burrito had a wonderful smoky flavor, almost like bacon. Check out this wonderful, newer spot on the 3400 block of Mission. Lovely owners, great food!
