    Shako's Tacos.

    First Timer. A+.We came back for 2nds. Lol. On the side note, we haven't had proper lunch and dinner. We got carne asada. Love how their carne's are not too marinated salty. It was delish. I'll take a pic next time. Update: Went back. Here is what it looks likes. For Me, I don't like the beans though. -_- For some reason, it tasted better when I first tried it. Lol. Prolli depends on how it was made or whomever cooked it. Or whateva.. Peace.

    Firstly, be very careful when you enter this location, the turn is very small and kind of hidden. I…read morewent with some family and everyone missed the turn on right and had to U turn and try again just FYI Depending on when you go parking can be difficult, if it is packed I would recommend parking the street over and walking. Most of the food is prepared in a food truck where you line up and order. Seating is next to the sauce bar and they have first come first serve seating. Typical culture is to put the sauce directly on the tacos when you receive them. They give sauce cups if you order to go otherwise they are reluctant to give them out. Currently they are constructing a building around their seating area which is new. This implies that they are generating enough cash to turn their food truck and seating area into an actual establishment. Onto the food review! Carne Asada 7/10 Lengua 7.5/10 Carnitas 8/10 Cabeza 8.3 /10 Suadero 8.5/10 Al Pastor 8.5/10 Suadero and Pastor were top contenders with the most flavor depth. Personally I liked the cabeza as it was very soft, but the flavor can't compare to the suadero. The carne asada lacked flavor in my opinion and was the least tasty out of the meats we tried. Carnitas had that great crunch you're looking for in a taco as it is seared excellently. Lengua was flavorful and super soft just like the cabeza which indicates that they were both braised to perfection. All choices are very solid albeit be prepared for a very greasy meal. The star of the show is their avocado salsa! They offered 6 other sauces in their sauce bar but the avocado salsa was superb compared to the others. This was the only option that had me coming back to sauce bar throughout my meal. They also offered pickled carrots, jalapeños, and onions at their sauce bar to help balance the flavors. Finally the best JD big back tip is to get the large strawberry horchata! It was so good we finished ours before even taking a picture of it! The flavor profile on that beverage is superb, imagine a creamy strawberry yakult that is the perfect option to balance greasy tacos. This is a hidden gem item as their strawberry horchata is significantly better than other restaurants version of it. They also offer other flavored horchata but the strawberry remains top tier.

    OH MY LANTA!!! Tres Reyes is the beeeeest! I absolutely love the tacos here. They have taken over…read moreas my go-to taco spot in the South Bay. I always go for the pastor tacos. The marinade is perfect and the meat is tender. I've never tried their burritos, only because I can't get enough of their tacos which is crazy because I'm usually the opposite. But Tres Reyes is just that good. I love how they have a dedicated dining area that is always clean. I've never had trouble finding a seat either. The dining area has a full salsa bar with all myriad sauces. They even have picked red onions, jalapeños, and carrots. So good with tacos. Finally, the selection of aguas frescas they have is insane. They have like 8 different flavors if I'm not mistaken. My absolute favorite is the melon/cantaloupe drink. It's so sweet and refreshing. You can definitely taste the fresh melon. So by all means, visit Tres Reyes. Just not too much cuz it's mine!!! ;)

They're always open here on weekends!

I've been to their San Jose location before, but when I heard they had a pop-up at the Safeway on Gellert Ave in South San Francisco, I had to drop by. The quality? Still top-notch. I came for the shawarma, siomai, BBQ, and tokwat baboy, and every bite felt like home. This is comfort food at its finest, mouth-watering, freshly made, and seasoned with the kind of care you can taste. The Sago't Gulaman was perfectly refreshing, balancing out all the savory goodness. What made it even better was Ate Ems herself greeting us. It felt like visiting your neighborhood street vendor back in the Philippines, where the food is made with love and everyone's treated like family. The crew here is warm, friendly, and makes you feel right at home from the first "hello." I just hope EMS Kusina can find a permanent spot here in South San Francisco soon, because the city deserves this level of Filipino comfort food on the regular. Pro tip: Come hungry, leave happy!

    Pro's: -Great quality Mexican food…read more-Quick & friendly service -spicy salsa's -Huge burritos I actually ran into this taco truck randomly when I was leaving Eastridge mall & decided to give it a try. Their prices for food are very fair and reasonable compared to other places. I ordered the Carne Asada Supreme Burrito and that thing was HUGE. You can tell all of the ingredients were fresh and the taste did not disappoint one bit. I'm hoping I can try out the other items on the menu and see how the tacos and quesadillas are. In terms of location, it's not in the most visible area since it's in the empty parking lot across from Olive Garden. So you really need to be driving by close to see that there's a food truck nestled over there. I'm sure if this was in a high traffic space, more people would be coming here.
