Was getting my car worked on down the street. Mechanic suggested I give Puras Papas food truck a try. Contrary to the name, they serve all sorts of food not just potatoes (papas). I went with a breakfast burrito and it was yummy and very well proportioned. I definitely would give these guys a try, clean, reasonably priced, delicious food and friendly service. Thank you for the delicious burrito, it hit the spot. read more

Zero complaints about the service. The lady was very friendly and welcoming. Plenty of drink options! The most I've seen at a food truck. I'm torn because the flavors themselves were so good. The guacamole, the salsas both were delicious, but I was very disappointed in the meat. It did not taste fresh and overall, one of the worst adobada meat I've had in a while. I think it might be worth getting the carne asada instead next time! read more

Food is so good, they have so many options from burritos, tacos, to burgers. I got a breakfast burrito and added a spicy serrano on the side! They have different drink options; we went with horchata and honeydew melon. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Outdoor seating is clean, shaded, and has a fresh breeze. read more

Very good food. It's a food truck run by a mother/daughter. So seating is outsides with a couple of tables. I usually get the quesabirria tacos or the Birria Ramen. read more

Excellent! I often enjoy some of the best local Mexican food at the Puras Papas truck when they visit Aztec Brewery in Vista. Super delicious and authentic fare! Highly recommended! read more

Puras Papas was amazing! We had them cater our EOY party and everyone loved the options they provided! Yummy food and the pineapple agua fresca was a BIG HIT! If you need them for an event please consider them!!! :) read more

Ordered the loaded potato once and now its the only thing I get because it's so good! I do want to try the other menu items, but for now, I'm sticking with my potato. It's made fresh so you'll be waiting a few minutes after ordering. Lots of street parking and the ladies are super nice and friendly! read more

Not a Fan! Was super excited to try them as I love papas any way. The meat had no flavor at all (disappointed), and the Lady taking my order was more concerned and focused on bashing her neighbor "La Cocina del Abuelo" than in trying to sell her food, because she saw my Husband head there to order his favorite there the Birria Ramen. Also they had no avocado, and got upset because I asked for some, she told me "you can find them at any grocery store". Not a good experience at all, I love to read reviews, and when I see so many positive I like to go try new places, this was definitely not my experience here. Never coming back and definitely not referring them. read more

Highly recommend and this is coming from someone who has tried most the birria spots in north county. The lady working at the time was super sweet as well and you could tell she puts love into the food. read more

This is our second time coming here and we love this place! I am from Los Angeles and I always eat San Diego tacos because they always try to make it like Tijuana style but it's never ever good. I felt like these tacos are the best that I've ever had even better than tacos El Gordo or whatever big name brand San Diego but I discovered this place forever ago when I used to live in San Marcos and now I live in downtown. I literally drive over here to eat these tacos at least maybe once in a while! Love love love their birria but mostly their asada!!!! read more

Puras Papas - a food truck on the road - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

Stopped at this food truck on our way home for a late lunch. My son ordered the 3 Quesabirria Tacos while I ordered the Loaded Fries with Adobada; all to go. The customer service was friendly, their recommendation to order the fries with adobada was welcome, their prices were reasonable, and the food finished quickly. I tried the quesabirria tacos, they were very tasty, and the consumée was nice. My son loved it. The Adobada was DELICIOUS! I'll go back there again for anything with that in it. My only mild complaint is that I asked for crispy fries and they weren't especially crispy, but that won't stop us from eating there again. read more

We had the Puras Papas food truck at our staff party, and it was GREAT! Delicious food and easy people to work with. Parked right in our driveway. We're right on time and prepared to go immediately! read more

I used Puras Papas for catering my sons graduation party. I had tried them in the past at their food truck and the food was so good that i knew i wanted to use them for catering. Their birria is by far my favorite and was a hit at our party and was the first to go. They have great customer service and provided us with everything we needed. read more

There are several food trucks in the general area behind Costco but Puras Papas is definitely the best! They are my go to if I need a good torta or quesabirria tacos. Super yummy fresh food and they also make different aguas frescas. Ms. Maria and her daughter are usually working and they're sweethearts, super friendly and affable. Will definitely be a regular read more

Puras Papas - Torta de al pastor. Green salsa. Spicy carrots - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

Puras papas is such a gem! So glad we found this spot. The portion sizes for the price are excellent, it's really unusual these days to get a plate size that is reasonable for the price. 2 of us ate and got full for $25. The loaded fries were perfect, the perfect fries, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and large enough to hold all the toppings well. Quesabirria were great as well. They also included pickled carrots - the best I've had in awhile. The horchata for 4$ was huge. A little sweet for me but still great. Definitely will be back when we're in the area. read more

Puras Papas - Adobada fries - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

The worst Mexican I have had. The meat was so dry that my kids couldn't chew through it. I think the worst of all was that the salsa was not good. I have no idea how a taco shop can mess salsa up. I'm only giving this place two stars because they give big servings. But for me, I rather have quality over quantity any day. read more

Hands down best food truck! Victoria and her mom are some of the nicest people you'll meet, not to mention they cook up a mean adobada. My go-to is the adobada loaded fries, but everything on their menu is worth it. We first tried them when their truck came to our apartment community, and now we go regularly. They have daily specials too! They beat out the rest, so you won't regret giving them a try. read more

One of my fav food trucks! The mom/daughter duo is super efficient & always so helpful when I'm not sure what to order. All the food is so good, but my favs are their breakfast burrito (not pictured) and the loaded potato w/ birria or adobada. Best birria in San Marcos hands down!!!! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but this place is the BEST! My husband and I have gone a couple times and even my kids loved the food here. The owners are so nice and quick. I've driven 45 min just to eat here because there aren't many options where I live that service this great quality of food. 10/10 would recommend! read more

By far my favorite place to visit when I'm missing my mom's food! Servings are more than generous and service is always great, food is delicious as always and will continue coming here as well as referring people. 10/10! read more

This is by far one of my favorite food trucks! It's become a regular stopping place for me. The mother daughter duo running this truck are awesome. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out!

This is the best birria I've had outside of my moms kitchen! So flavorful and the prices are great. The mother and daughter there are so sweet and make you wanna come back for more good food and even better people :) read more

This is a must visit!!! I ordered the birrias tacos which were AMAZING! Wonderfully seasoned and if you add the onions, cilantro, and salsa verde you will be in taco heaven. Service was extremely friendly and fast! OMG I almost forgot...the CHURROS!!! Amazing read more

When we noticed that other customers behind us were receiving their food we realized they had lost our order. We understand this happens but when we brought it to their attention they weren't attentive. They just kept saying it was coming. So after waiting even longer and watching other customers behind us get their order, we brought it up again. And again they didn't even try to find our order. Finally, after even MORE customers behind us got their orders we asked them again to check. Finally the cook flattened out our ticket that had been crumpled into a ball and fallen behind the counter! No apologies, they then put our ticket behind orders that again came after ours. Unbelievable. Too bad because the food wasn't bad. Not great but not horrible. They were advertising that they cater. I wouldn't risk a large catered event based on their poor customer service. read more

Everyone has their favorite Mexican food place. Puras papas is mine! It has everything, wonderful people, thank you Maria and Victoria. Outstanding food, not just good, outstanding. I'm working my way through the menu but it's hard to get past the birria. 3 fat tacos of delicious meat and don't skip the consomme, it's life changing. I like the plates with some salad and crema on the side, like the papas tacos, a perfect bite of hot and cold. Did I mention the price? A lot of delicious food for 10 or 12 bucks. Almost forgot, I judge most places by their salsa, gotta be tasty and deliver the heat. Puras papas does both. Puras papas does it all! read more
