    I live right across from them and wanted to support. DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK. The lady seem unfriendly and a bit racist if you're Asian and also said price is $4.00 for 1 birria taco not $3.50 like their menu sign... soo... maybe change your menu prices? I paid cash too so doesn't make sense to tax me either

    Pastor mulitas
    Marlette C.

    I got a craving for tacos, so I decided to try them out. They've been on my list to check out. They have a short menu and a decent selection of meat to choose from. I ordered the pork pastor mulitas, chicken taco, and carne asada taco. It took about 10-15 minutes to get my order. I hung out at their little seating area while I waited. The mulitas is $6 and a taco is $3.50. I liked the pastor meat the best. It had good flavor, and the meat was tender. The chicken and asada were so dry and lacked flavor. The salsas, except for the avocado salsa, were all soooo spicy. I'm glad I was able to tolerate the avocado one at least. I'll come back for their pastor. Staff is really friendly too. Only 2 ppl working when I went - one to take orders, the other to cook.

    Carne Asada Tacos (2)   Got a bonus tortilla and beans one which was just ok.

    Quick bite to eat and ordered 2 carne asada tacos. Made to order and fresh and the service is so friendly. I heard folks asking for the orange sauce which was ok. I should have asked for the red and green to try too but felt bad seeing I only had 2 tacos. Will surely come back and try a burrito or quesadilla!

    Friendly neighborhood spot with reasonable prices considering you get a lot of food! Have had both the tacos and quesadillas and they are both amazing. The people that own it are friendly and kind and are happy to answer any questions that you have. We live nearby and frequent this place often!

    Quesadilla

    4.5 stars tacos. This food truck is right new to my place, on the parking lot of the Liquor Bin and Pizza Hut (on Cherry). I recently added Rico's on Yelp as he really deserves to be known! Some of my favorite street tacos are served here. Rico will also accommodate his tacos to your taste as best as he can. Carnitas, lengua and chorizo are my favorites. At 2$ a piece you get tasty, flavorful tacos with complimentary beans on a hard tortilla. The truck is very clean. Features a bunch of tasty spicy sauces. You can get complimentary grilled Jalapenos if you ask. If you are super hungry, don't forget to try to 2$ plain cheese quesadilla. You can even grab a drink from the liquor store near by and enjoy while having your favorite Taco! Great food for late night craving, friendly service at great prices.

    It's a taco truck. I realized too late they wanted a silly high price for a burrito and it was pretty bland. I think like 12 bucks if I'm not mistaken.

    He's still here and not closed. Dunno why Yelp says it's closed

    I could eat there every day. They are fast and very courteous. A mom and pop shop. Outdoor eats or your car. Always busy but worth the wait.

Super generous about their lobster! - First time, I've never had the Po Boy (andouille - slightly spiced) but it was good and oily though. Fries were bomb! - Chairman's pork belly bun was delicious, a wee bit on the greasy side - Ice cream flavors we had were Ube - Purple Yam, Old School Vanilla, and The 408 - Caramel Ice Cream with Oreos and Fudge. I loved my "The 408" so yummylicious! - Always a great way to spend time with your friends and family.

    Moveable Feast is awesome for those who have never really experienced a food truck night. What I…read morelove about it is that you don't have to chase down local food trucks by checking out their Twitter or Facebook updates to know where they'll be parked. And on top of that you get to experience a whole bunch of awesome Bay Area food trucks all in one spot. Moveable Feast on Friday nights in Willow Glen is a great foodie date night for sure. The bf and I have been here twice now (first time was still during my jaw surgery recovery phase where I was unable to chew, so it wasn't as exciting for me then). This last time we went we noticed that the most popular trucks were Sam's Chowdermobile, Grilled Cheese Bandits and Hill Country BBQ. The lines for those 3 were endless. But we did get to try come mashed tater balls and a delicious italian style grilled cheese sammich from Grilled Cheese Bandits about an hour before Moveable Feast was closing. And the bf got the very last link dog over at Hill Country BBQ, which he said was better than the Miso Dog he had over at Oh Miso Hungry truck. Let me list out what we had at the few trucks we chose to order from. Oh Miso Hungry Kimchi grilled cheese was actually not as good as it sounds. The kimchi was definitely delicious but it didn't taste right being super warm in between those pieces of Texas toast. And the Miso Dog the bf had, he liked but didn't love. MoGo BBQ Kalbi and bulgogi tacos. I liked the meat, tasted good. Not a fan of the corn tortillas they used. Barefoot Coffee The bf ordered a small coffee on drip to swing over to Treatbot Ice Cream since the guy over there told us the ice cream tastes bomb with that coffee. I had a sip of that coffee, holy shizz it was strong! Treatbot We had a scoop of horchata and a scoop of chocolate ice cream to go into the coffee. This is the second time I've had their horchata ice cream and I'm a HUGE fan for sure. Hill Country BBQ They ran out of most of their food about an hour before closing time. I liked the sauces they had out and pretty curious about the Porkolicious sauce. Looked interested! Next time, I'll be sure to try some of that pulled pork that was oh-so-popular. Grilled Cheese Bandit We ordered the small order of mashed tater balls which were okay but a bit too salty for us. Their Giuliano sandwich sure was bomb though! It came with mozzarella, parmesan and tomatoes with pesto on this amazingly soft Italian batard bread. Hands down, best thing I ate that night. I'm still very curious about what Sam's Chowdermobile has to offer but that damn line never let up! It was also extremely chilly that night, what the F happened to summer weather San Jose? But yeah, next time we'll definitely have to just stick it out and stand in line for some chowder. I would rate Moveable Feast 5 stars if they included better dessert trucks than just Fairycakes (cupcakes, which I'm not a fan of) and ice cream and candy. I want some PIES or something a bit more dense for dessert peeps!

    I came here on weekday evening to grab some dinner. Heard of this place from Reddit, it does feel…read morelike a hole in the wall, but it was pretty busy. Lots of take out orders and dine in orders. I ordered 5 super tacos to share with different meats (pollo, carne asada, al pastor, carnitas and chorizo). The super tacos come with cilantro, onions, avocado, sour cream, cheese and pico de gallo. All the tacos come with homemade corn tortillas - you could tell they were fresh. The tacos are big, not small at all. The carne asada, carnitas and pollo was my favorite. Al pastor was good as well, chorizo was not that flavorful for me. However, they also have 3 types of salsas (green, red and a creamy orange) you can use to help add some more flavor if needed. I plan to come back here to try their burritos and tortas as well next time.

We ordered 2x Carne Asada Taco 7/10 2x Al Pastor 7/10 Asada Burrito Bowl 7/10 Enchiladas with Rojo Sauce 7/10 The burrito bowl was good, but for the price point you may be better off going to Chipotle, I felt that the burrito bowl was a bit soggy. The tacos were good and the tortilla they used was quite thick. The enchiladas had good flavor as well, and I would be interested in trying their enchilada with the verde sauce next time. Their prices have steadily risen over time and they have updated their menu prices as well. One thing that elevated this restaurant to 4 stars is their sauce! The red sauce and green sauce recipe is definitely unique compared to other taquerias. The red sauce bottle helps with the flavor tremendously and without it I would have rated this place lower.
