    We were excited to get this business to come to our event in Manteca! We catered for about 100 guests and it was a hit! The soft serve was delicious and toppings were generous. And there were so many options out there of an ice cream truck. Everyone loved it and would def recommend.

    We just had a great community event and Penguin's ice cream truck was a big part of it! Andy is very easy to work with, punctual and helped with other ideas to make the event success. A parent told me how impressed they were when a child told Andy about having a nut allergy. He immediately changed his gloves and scooper to prepare the child's dessert. Andy and the ice cream truck was a hit with everyone... even in 61° weather! If you're thinking about booking an event, don't hesitate to bring in Penguins!

    WHAT A TREAT! I'd seen this ice cream truck a few times at our local park, it was finally warm enough to indulge; as we approached we noticed the ice creams were not the typical ice cream truck/cart variety. No food dyes or or high processed-Saturday morning cartoon characters here. These are soft-serve, sundae style ice creams with traditional and seasonal flavors (strawberry and peach currently). I ordered an ice cream with chocolate, caramel and nuts. I was so pleasantly surprised to receive a creamy, dreamy treat with fresh, salted roasted nuts. We can't wait until they come back around!

    We first got to know this truck when it started coming to our neighborhood, so when our daughter's milestone birthday approached, we thought it would be a perfect idea to bring them to her school party instead of just bringing cupcakes. It was a huge hit! The students, teachers, staff, and parents were all genuinely excited and thrilled about the ice cream treat. Scheduling and Communicating was easy--everyone was responsive and accommodating. The driver, Phil, was punctual (he even arrived before I did!), warm, friendly, and the pricing was very reasonable. And of course, the ice cream was delicious! Highly recommend!

    Amazing is the Best way to describe the ice cream, the service and the truck. We just had a club event in our area. The Service was excellent! The Ice Cream sensational and truck was great! Our event was for 140 people. Andy served everyone! He was delightful and efficient and very professional. A home run and I will have them back again and again.

    We had a summer pool party and asked Andy to stop by. Communication was super easy and he arrived on time! It was such a treat as most of my family members did not expect an Ice Cream truck treat. Everyone immediately turned into a kid! They could not stop talking about it after the event. And the ice cream was delicious! Thank you Andy!!! We highly recommend Penguin Soft Serve as a special treat for your events!

    Andrew and our son!

It was delicious. This was my first time having it. Very generous portion size. The lady serving me helped me picked this. I made sure that I was getting this instead of tacos. The food was well seasoned, made to order and served hot. I took my for home and it was still hot when I got home. I will definitely be coming here again. I can't wait to try their tacos and nachos. The truck is located conveniently located off Lewelling blvd. across from San Lorenzo High School. You can eat in your vehicle since there is a parking lot or eat in the seating area located right in front of the truck. There's a picnic area style seating area for customers to sit at.

See pic-- the tortillas were just meh, the shrimp were limp, not grilled sad looking flavorless things with the accompaniment ie. diced onions and peppers served separately wrapped in plastic. Perhaps all served and plated together would have made the tacos more appetizing - but the shrimp ...they need alot of help! I give the vibe at this spot with a very nice outdoor dining area an A but the tacos-- a D.

    Tacos Mi Reynita has officially ruined all other tacos for me nothing compares to their quesatacos!…read moreThe flavor, the quality, the crispiness... absolutely unreal every single time. You can tell everything is made with care and it shows in every bite. I also LOVE that they give you grilled onions and serrano peppers on the side. Un platillo mexicano nunca le puede faltar unos chilitos asados It just makes the whole experience that much better and more authentic. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. It's hands down my favorite taco spot. My only complaint?

The price is a trip because they're on the expensive side of non brick and mortar establishments, you see what I'm saying, but sure handmade tortillas, it's good food. The service is whack, period. Good ambience when it's a nice night to be outside in San Lorenzo, good vibes, good energy because it's got good food but lately it's been tanking, it's giving complacent. I've tried voicing my concerns with the company on IG, I sent a dm but no response so that's why I'm public about it now.

Food: Al Pastor Taco - good, generous amount of meat, topped with diced onions, cilantro, and salsa verde, the al Pastor had good flavor, wish there was a bit more char and pineapple but pretty tasty, corn tortilla was excellent, soft and pliable with nice toasted corn flavor Carne asada - very good, perfectly cooked steak that was tender with a char from the grill, also topped with onions, cilantro and salsa verde, same great corn tortilla, favorite of the proteins that we tried Suadero - okay, brisket was a bit dry and had the shredded texture reminding me more of carnitas, same toppings as the other taco, generous portion of meat, this one benefited from an extra squeeze of lime juice and some salsa roja from the salsa bar Service was solid, order at the truck window grab a number and wait for your corder to be called. Wait for our food was about 10-15 minute. They do have a topping and salsa bar with two types of salsa, limes, radishes and cucumber. Overall really enjoyed Tacos Gonzales, more of a 4.5 star overall, food was flavorful and freshly prepared. The carne asada was some of the best I've ever had in the bay area.
