Enfrijoladas with Tasajo.
Stefany V.

I tried this spot today, I'm impressed on how good the food it taste, just that homemade and authentic flavor that it's hard to find nowadays in a food place , highly recommended and the cashier was really friendly, I'll be back for more!!! Thank you so much for your work guys, you're doing amazing and please don't change this flavors. Because most places when they get praise they go downhill. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Cantaloupe Juice

After playing some badminton on a Friday night, we wanted to get something to eat. One of our friends wanted tacos and we planned to go get tacos at this one food truck, but we passed by this one right as we were heading out on Story and decided to try this instead. This ended up being a great last minute decision. I wasn't really hungry as I had dinner already, but I still wanted to try their food. I got two tacos: asada and suadero. They have two types of tortillas: regular or hand-made. I went with the regular ones since they were cheaper, but I would be down to come back to try their hand-made ones. They also had cantaloupe juice, and since all my friends got one, I decided to try it as well. The food truck had a couple of tables set up with a canopy and a string of bright light bulbs. They also had a big tv on their truck, and they were playing some reality horror show or something. The cantaloupe juices came out pretty quickly and the food came out shortly after. I literally had tacos the night before, and although these tacos are a little more on the expensive side, I preferred them. They were warm and the tortillas held up well and weren't soggy. It was very straightforward with the protein, onions/cilantro on top, and lime/caramelized onions on the side. They also had sauces on the table in squeeze bottles which were mess-free and convenient. The cantaloupe juice was delicious! This was my first time trying it, and I was amazed. This was a great last-minute find. When we came, it was pretty empty, but towards the end when we were finishing up, it was poppin'. All the seats were taken and there were a lot more cars pulled into the parking lot. It seems to be a popular food truck for good reason. I hope to return again soon.

Came here for dinner. It is directly across the street from Tostadas. I felt like we were cheating on them. Saw so much about the tlayuda and was determined to try it. Of course when I got there I had to order more. I ordered a chicken quesadilla for myself, too. Gavin, forever burrito lover so he stuck w/ that. I did not try it but based on its picture the burrito was loaded, the rice, chicken, and beans were nicely distributed. The tlayuda is not something I enjoyed. Maybe the crunchy tortilla or the meats were very salty and dry... but the bean paste and cheese was delicious. The highlight of my meal was their chicken quesadilla. Absolutely delicious and tasty! Friendly service and beware as there is always a line. They accept cards and have one table in front of their truck if you want to sit while you wait for your order or if you want to enjoy your meal there. I'm not a fan of outdoor dining due to the hot sun or wind so we took ours home to enjoy. They accept cards! Parking can be a hassle too because the gas station that they're stationed at does not have optimal space.

Brisket and carnitas tacos

We heard this place was good and it did not disappoint. AND it's around the corner from where we live which makes it extra dangerous. The food is amazing. On our first visit the two of us demolished the tlayuda in one sitting. Today it was tacos - brisket, carnitas, chicken, chorizo. OMG - delicious and a bargain at $3.25 each. Just for context our most recent tacos were eaten in CDMX where al pastor was invented so I don't take the endorsement lightly! Also providing a pic of the menu as a community service. And to address the 1 star reviews: clearly they didn't understand this is a food truck.

Haurache and tlyauda

Food was absolutely delicious! Service and music were amazing! Overall fantastic! Will definitely be back here again.

Picaditas
Fancypants X.

4.5 stars Regarding my food experiences, I found that it is not better to have loved & lost than to not have loved at all. At an event in San Jose's History Park, I stopped by Mi Rinconcito Oaxaqueño's food truck & ordered two Picaditas (I've seen them called Sopes before.) Had I known I'd enjoy them as much as I did, I would've bought a few more to bring home because the next day, I had a serious hankering for them & my only options were to drive 50 miles to San Jo or settle for mediocre imitations closer to me. There was perfection in its simplicity -- disks of thick, homemade tortillas topped with onions, spicy red salsa, & fresh cheese. Of course you can choose green salsa & to top it with meat, but the way I ordered it was 100% right in my book. Delicious ingredients & nothing else. BF ordered Entomatadas, which looked like enchiladas served with a thin steak, as well as Quesobirrias. How do I get Mi Rinconcito Oaxaqueno in my rotation without spending a grip on gas money every time I have a craving?!

Homemade Memelitas
Janet T.

I was craving Oaxacan food and found this listed as a restaurant on my Doordash app. Sometimes Oaxacan places can be a hit or miss for me, but this place was definitely a hit! I ordered the Memelita which is a toasted/fried homemade corn tortilla topped with black bean paste, grilled onions, well-seasoned tender carne asada and cotija w/ radishes on the side. It's similar to sopes, but prefer these bad boys over them! The 5 Stars goes to the yummy Memelitas! I'll definitely go back to try out more food items!

Writing this review for others to look out and watch for their health & safety. We went to buy food from this place 03/22 to go- I saw it had good reviews so we decided it give it a shot. Got some tacos, burrito, quesadilla and huarache mixteco (mixed meats on it) overall food was ok, 5/10 the burrito was dry and they forgot to add sour cream which I asked for. The biggest issue was couple hours later after my meal- I got abdomen pains, headache, chills and diarrhea. It's the second day since and I'm still trying to recover. I've had diarrhea since Friday (Sunday today) and my stomach aches have not gone away. I'm going to have to go to the ER or something of this continues by tomorrow. Make sure you follow all good safety guidelines to prevent this from happening again. Service was below average, ambiance was ok. We for sure will not be coming back to this place. Below is pic of date and food purchase

Where the magic happens. It's in a gas station parking lot, get over it.
Johnathan D.

Quite possibly the best al pastor tacos I've eaten in my life. Yeah, I know that's a bold statement. I'm not kidding and I don't take it back. 9.3/10.

Fire and Rice Food Truck catered our company lunch and did an outstanding job. Given the short…read moretimeframe and large order size, they delivered everything quickly while serving great quality food. The service was fast, organized and the food was consistently great. If you're looking for a catering food truck for a small lunch window that delivers high quality and very quick service, I HIGHLY recommend Fire and Rice. Their Hawaiian Asian fusion menu is unique and stands out compared to other Asian or poke trucks I've tried. The garlic shoyu chicken and tuna poke were my personal favorites. I tried some of my coworkers garlic shrimp & Miso tofu too...surprisingly pretty GOOD! With inflation being what it is, their food is absolutely worth the price, and they were also flexible and willing to work within our reasonable budget. I can't recommend them enough. For catering inquiries, It was a little difficult getting them on the phone so we played phone tag a lot. I suggest texting or emailing Micah or Jessica for the quickest response, as they're often busy on the truck or during service.

Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.

Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.
