Grilled chicken burrito.
Jillian J.

This is honestly the best taco truck I've ever been to family owned very nice. They always cater to whatever we want. They take our ideas and run with it and make us amazing food. They're always there when we need them. Best taco truck ever.

carne asada torta with an excess of beans
Abigail M.

Came here after everything else was closed on a Saturday night around midnight. In a quiet nice location next to Safeway, so plenty of parking. The service was quick and easy and the person taking the order was super kind! They also accept apple pay!! I ordered the carne asada torta, which I give an 8/10. If there was a little more mayo and less beans, it would've been so much better. But I didn't mind. It was still super yummy! I would def come back.

THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS. Wanted to try out a new taco truck since we usually go to the same one every time and decided on this one. Gosh no regrets on that one. Absolutely cleared our plates. Very nice staff too

Pambazo: chorizo, potatoes, lettuce, sour cream and cheese
Maddison R.

Seen this place driving by and have been wanting to try for forever. I tried the pambazo and the milanesa torta. The pambazo is potatoes, chorizo, lettuce, sour cream and cheese on a bread that's been soaked in a sauce (not spicy) and grilled slightly. I have never had one before and it was really good! The chorizo was very flavorful and the bread wasn't overpowering. The torta had beans, meat, onions, and some sort of light sauce. The torta was good but kinda small compared to the usual size of one. It was pretty busy, it took a little while to get our food but there was a good amount of seating available. Overall would comeback again, especially to try more of the menu.

This place is incredible. The food is soooooooo good. My favorite item on their menu is the carne asada fries. Everyone is so kind here too!

My first time having a Pambazos which they described as a wet sandwich. It was great... very flavorful! The staff was very nice and courteous. I also had a great conversation while I was waiting with someone who is originally from Mexico City who was telling me about life there. Hope to go visit when Covid is in the rear view mirror!

Health code violation from the city.
Butimnotayelper D.

Me and my girlfriend tried to go there a few months ago and realized that the city has shut them down due to health code violations as 12/28/23. Avoid this food truck at all costs! It doesn't seem like their cleanliness was up to par according to the city! Take your money elsewhere!

Chorizo Burrito
Joel R.

Pambazo (Pam-Bah-So), aka torta dipped in red chilli sauce then griddle fried for a crunchy outside. I got it with Al Pastor. Slightly messy, but totally worth it. Also got a burrito with chorizo to round it out. A return trip is in order to try out the Champion Burrito and Torta Cubana. Only in San Jose, would you find a Mexican taco truck, in the parking lot of an Ethiopian market, next door to an American BBQ restaurant.

If you want a yummy dinner or late night snack you need to come to Los Pambazos food truck. The tables with little lantern type lights. The food is amazing try the corn taco their popular item. Our second time hubby tried the pambazos and was delish too. Owner super friendly! We will be back.

Quesadilla
Allan K.

Whooooa, what is this place! Well it's a truck tucked away on Winchester at the time. I didn't think I'd be able to try new Mexican food around here! But their pambazo was sooo unique! It's definitely the thing to get if you're trying out the place the first time. Didn't understand half of the menu and the lady was so nice and helpful! Even gave us some quesadilla to try! If you want something healthy, the alambres is definitely the go to, didn't know what it was at the time but it's basically a stir fry of steak meat, mushrooms, and bell peppers. 100% would come back and bring more friends!

Pombazo $10, guava drink $3

I was running errands and got hungry so I stopped here and this was my experience... - Nearly no designated parking. If there was I didn't see it. - service was quick and friendly - pambazo wasn't what I expected but then again I never had one before. Didn't have too much flavor in my opinion. Maybe if it had chorizo in it. Overall, not too impressed but it was a good meal at the time.

Excellent service. Wait can be quite long, so I recommend ordering ahead. If they can't respond to your call, they usually call you back.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

They charged us for an adult Chicken and Waffles even though we sent it back and got the correct kids' portion I originally ordered. They also charged us for TWO molcajetes when only ONE came out. The check went from $265 to $200 after we caught everything. 1000000% they were hoping we wouldn't notice. I could believe it was an honest mistake if two molcajetes had come out, but they didn't. Since gratuity was already included, it really makes me wonder how many people have overpaid without realizing it. We came in with a group of 6. Everything was okay at first. We ordered chips with salsa and beans, and the beans were delicious, so we ordered a second round. At most restaurants, chips and salsa are free, so we assumed the same here. Unfortunately, we were never told the second round wasn't free, or that only one refill was included, and no one asked if we were okay with the additional charge. My dad and I shared the molcajete, which was pretty good, had enough meat, and was literally BOILING hot. My MIL and husband both ordered the Carne Asada plate. It was tasty but had really small portions, so we had to share our food with them to fill them up. My kids ordered French toast and chicken strips. They were originally supposed to get Chicken and Waffles, but they were out of waffles or couldn't make them--I'm not really sure. This is where the problems started. I specifically said KIDS chicken & waffles twice when ordering, but they brought out the adult size for my oldest, which was $8 more. Fine, we can call that an honest mistake, but then it was also charged on the final bill even after we sent it back. Unfortunately, after everything with the bill, we will NOT be going back here again.

In October, the surrounding suburbs were full of Halloween decor; it was nice to walk around the neighborhood while waiting. I would split the restaurant's seating areas into three sections: indoor, inner patio, and outer patio. We were seated in the inner patio, which fit two parallel rows of tables. It was a cozy and intimate setting. Lighting was dim and moody, with individual tables lit by mini table lamps. My table ordered the ceviche starter and parrillada grilled mix. The one word to describe the food at LUNA's is "fresh." The ceviche was astoundingly refreshing, spicy, and sour. The parrillada mix included steak, chicken, pork, shrimp, sweet potato, pepper, cheese; and each item was cooked just right. It wasn't heavy on the seasoning; it was the type of grilled meat where the seasoning just helps the meat shine. Pairing the proteins with the tortilla, pico, and guac was simply delicious. I would recommend coming to LUNA's Mexican Kitchen for some solid, fresh, filling food.
