For starters, ignoring the food, the service was great. It was a father, son truck and I needed help warming up a bottle for my baby. They happily obliged with no hesitation and gave me a bowl of hot water to warm up the bottle. Already loving em. Now.. the octopus chorizo taco... holy s***... that thing was gooooood. Sometimes chorizo is a little salty but this one was perfect and paired even better with the octopus. I believe the tortillas were handmade as well which made it even better. Don't even get me started on their green salsa that comes with it. Perfection. Not too spicy not too tangy. A perfect salsa verde sauce which I would buy off the shelf. Thanks for the great service and taco! read more

Been here twice and the food and service were incredible!! Great portions and I recommend their octopus/al pastor and shrimp tacos!! Will definitely be back and I'm so glad I gave this place a try. read more

I discovered this food truck at the Gordon Biersch night market on Taylor Street. Despite how many taco trucks there were, Pre-Hispanic Mexican Cuisine caught my eye because of the octopus and chorizo tacos. I am a huge fan of octopus so this was something I had to try. I am so glad I did because these tacos were insanely good. The combination of octopus and chorizo was surprisingly fitting and delicious. The cheese and the tortillas themselves were perfection as well. The sauce was also tasty and not too spicy which I liked. Overall a really good experience and I would definitely eat here again! read more

We were lucky to discover this food truck at the Mexica New Year festival at Emma Prusch Park this past weekend. The chochinita pibill (seafood) was tiny but delicious. And they customized a quesadilla for us, with mushroom and carne asada, and it was divine... crisp and flavorful, the juices from the meat dripping onto the plate, tangy salsa and tomatoes on the side. Beyond satisfying. I'm definitely a fan! read more

Best tacos ever! I recommend giving them a follow on IG so you can check which location they'll be at during the week. I had them a few times at various events in SJ and Morgan Hill. The tacos are a MUST! The chorizo, carne asada, and octopus are amazing! The flavors are on point and just perfect. The wait time really varies at how busy the location is, but it's worth the wait! The staff in the food truck are super friendly and can answer any questions you may have. These tacos are one of a kind, and I highly recommend ordering something from their food truck if you see them around. They have other items like burritos, tostadas, and quesadillas on the menu with lots of other meat options. read more

Super tasty authentic Mexican food truck! Just ordered the 3 tacos: veggie, chicken and veggie; fake nachos (just no velveta but more authentic cojita cheese) with chicken & chicken burrito (yes, their chicken is VERY GOOD! ) All was super fresh and very friendly service with Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, credit card as options. Loved the salsa and quick service and great spot outside or Taplands today! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this food truck. first, it's delicious. 2nd its delicious. I have never had Mexican food like this outside of the Yucatan area. which is where the food is derived from. The food had so much flavor. My husband and I started with 3 tacos, the bean, the chicken and the steak. we ended up going back 3 more times to order more. we thought, ok, we'll get a couple.. then we thought ok, maybe a couple more. next thing you know we are 12 tacos deep! The bean tacos had, I believe octopus, smothered in them. Which I was not expecting, but was incredible. The chicken tacos were good, the beef was better. Maybe just a preference. I would definitely eat the chicken again, but we ordered the bean and steak tacos 2 more times. The guys working in the food truck we seriously working hard! for hours! Between making the food, running the food and answering everyones questions, they were slaying the game! we brought some back home for our teen daughter who scarfed 4 tacos down before she blinked. She loved them! I highly recommend if you see this truck, pull over and get some food! read more

Needed a quick meal around the N 1st St area and stumbled on this food truck on yelp! It's nestled in between apartments in front of a park. So random but cool! Because the truck is parked in front of the park there's lots of public street parking available. They sell canned soda and bottled water. FYI no diet sodas. I ordered the veggie tacos and was excited because it's rare to come across a Mexican restaurant that serves huitlacoche and their tortillas are hand made. First impression: YUM! I'm a sucker for good tortillas so I love the marbled blue/yellow corn mixture. The mushrooms and huitlacoche were delicious. Their salsas were also on point. I do wish the veggie tacos had a little more filling. I was definitely hungry shortly after eating lol. Anddd the wait was pretty long. There was no line outside around noon and I had to wait 20 mins for my tacos. Not quite a quick meal. I will definitely be a returning customer because the flavors were just so good!! Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by the Rose Garden farmers market and got a chance to try this food truck. Very grateful that they were here on a rainy day when most of the other trucks and stalls had bailed. I ordered the 3 veggie tacos. They were served on homemade corn tortillas that were a marbling of blue and yellow corn - thick enough to hold the contents easily without cracking. The filling was mushrooms (so flavorful!) and a slice of avocado. I 86'd the cheese to make them vegan. It came with a side of salsa that was spicy and fresh. Husband got the veggie burrito and was also very pleased. It was stuffed with veggies - zucchini, mushrooms - plus rice, beans, avocado, and pico de gallo. He said it was one of the best vegan burritos he's had! The tortillas was also warmed and crisped in a way that didn't get soggy. A great pick for a Saturday morning brunch! read more

This restaurant is a must-try. We were blown away by the chicken and al pastor, both of which were unlike any other we've ever had. The spices used were unique and different (in a great way) and the proteins were treated with respect, perfectly tender and juicy. The quesadillas were fantastic as well. We had them while we were at DTSJ Brewery, but I think they rotate locations. Can't wait to come back and try out their octopus and chorizo tacos. read more

This taco truck is amazing. These are by far the best tacos I have had in the Bay Area. Using techniques and ingredients indigenous to the Yucatán area, the check is making incredible, real Mexican food here. The tortillas are clearly made by hand from mixtamilized corn, and you can taste it. I tried the camarones, pollo, y pastor tacos. Each one had a distinct flavor, and good filling to tortilla to topping ratio. The camarones was mild and full of different textures. It paired perfectly with the xnic-pec salsa (which is INCREDIBLE). The pastor is different than what you're used to in the best way. It is prepared using a mix of negra spices, and comes out totally black rather than the atomic orange you see at most places. This results in a more complex flavor that combined with the piña makes for sweet and savory perfect. The pollo really surprised me. I love the anchiote spices which is complex with a balance of sweetness and heat- and the chicken was so juicy. One of the best chicken tacos I've ever had. Do not miss this spot. Support this local business. And enjoy the best tacos in the area, by far. read more

Food: SO GOOD!!! The burritos are super tasty, the chorizo & octopus tacos are extremely delicious, and the quesadillas have that amazing crispy cheese effect. I seriously love everything on this menu that I've had, and I struggle to choose when I order. Service: Jesus is so sweet. He remembers his customers and likes to have a short chat. Super nice guy. read more

I was graced with Pre-Hispanic Mexican cuisine at our apartments the other day and when I saw they were here I yelled out " F*&$k Yeah!!" and walked down to order the surf and turf burrito with shrimp and steak. Sooooo good, this is one of my other food truck favorites. The burrito is seasoned to perfection and the salsa adds another level of flavor to this burrito. I was going to save half of it for the wifey but once I took a bite of it, nope!!! I ate all of it. Great portions and amazing flavors, this guy knows what he's doing. read more

Delicious!!! I had the special of the day which was a shrimp burrito. I've never had a shrimp burrito. Usually it's a Pastor or Carnitas, so I had my doubts. Just to taste the Al Pastor, because I heard it's really good, I added a taco to the order. Both were fantastic! Got the salsa verde and the habanero salsa. Both had a little kick, but not too much. Friendly service too! I will surely be back. read more

Tacos are dry. The seafood or pulpo taco is rubbery. The best taco I had was the mushroom one.

Wow, just wow. We got four tacos, as well as chips and salsa. Our favorites: shrimp and Al pastor. This food truck is AMAZING. Not only do they rotate locations, they are worth following! Check them out on Instagram, but I will follow them anywhere for these tacos. The staff is so kind and personable as well. The next time you want good tacos, seek them out!! read more

This taco truck is absolutely amazing! I love their take on Mexican food, it is so different than any other taco truck I've ever had and the flavor of everything will seriously blow your mind! The owners are very helpful and are happy to guide you throw the menu and explain anything you have questions about. When you go to this truck be sure the order the al pastor and order extra orange salsa on the side! I had never seen Al pastor that looks like theirs and to be honest I was a little hesitant since I am not a creature of change, but the flavors all come together so well and I can absolutely say it's some of my favorite Al pastor now. Also, their orange salsa is so tasty that I could eat it on anything and everything. This new truck is easily one of the best ones around! read more

The truck was downstairs of my apartment building. I saw on Yelp it closed at 8, but it was 8:18pm it's still downstairs so I thought maybe the timing is not updated. When I got closer to the truck I saw chef masizito was about to close his truck. I told him no worries. He kindly reopen his truck window and said to me "I can't leave leaving you hungry." what a sweet guy! And he went back in to made my tacos. While I was in line waiting, a family came lineup behind me. I felt so bad because I made him close even later now. Right now it's almost 9pm I can still hear him cooking (from my apartment upstairs). Great service and my fish tacos were bomb! read more

I'm not reviewing the food, but I'm reviewing the fact that my girlfriend and I were not able to locate the taco truck within the whole plaza (Descano drive). We came around 6:30 PM on wednesday, June 1st, to the address on yelp, and walked around the whole plaza to try and locate the truck to no avail. Based on the photos I've seen strictly on yelp, this is a moving taco truck which is fine, but at least update the location on your page(s). I noticed they have an Instagram page where they update locations but I personally don't use Instagram so to accommodate the Yelp community, it'd be greatly appreciated if the information was posted on Yelp. Additionally, we tried to call them but the number on the page didn't seem to pick up. The food looks great and I bet tastes great too but hopefully we can try another time when we can guarantee that the truck will be there. read more

Well This place put a smile on my dates super hot face. I think it went but at least she smiled. The staff is great and the location super easy to find.

So impressed by this taco truck. Incredibly flavorful and surprisingly affordable for the quality and freshness you're getting. Parking can be tough, they're stationed at a park in the middle of multiple apartments - but definitely doable (and worth it!). I got the pork burrito, octopus + chorizo and steak tacos, everything tasted awesome. Go here! I would never eat outside since I live 20 seconds away and I love my room too much BUT I do note the park is very clean and beautiful so it'd be perfect to eat at the nearby tables and benches. :) read more

Love the handmade tortillas they use! I know nothing of authenticity when it comes to Mexican cuisine, but food tasted awesome and unique. Between 2 people we got: 2 Carnita Azadas Tacos- tender and flavorful 2 Al Pastor Tacos- loved the succulent fatty bits (wish there was some more onions) 1 Camarron y Chorizo Taco- they didn't have pulpo y chorizo. Can't wait to try it though. 1 Al Pastor Quesadilla - it's cheese and al pastor...you can't go wrong 1 Veggie Quesadilla - love mushrooms and huitlacoche Highlight- the 6 servings of habanero salsa. Perfect amount of heat and adds a refreshing, floral aspect to the tacos. Greatly appreciate that they provided so many, I'm adding that salsa to my future meals. Tip for takeout, heat it up in a pan so that tortilla gets crispy again, and then cover with a lid to melt the cheese. Made a huge difference! read more

Amazing flavors, fresh ingredients, and it always comes with a smile! Jesus and his team are awesome! I've had their shrimp tacos and mushroom quesadilla. Both unique in style and flavor and delicious!! Highly recommend you follow them and visit their truck! read more
