This place is fire!!! Yes the wait is super long (I waited closer to 30min and they told me…read more15-20min) but if you can't wait that long for good ass food then gtfo of the line. I got the garlic shrimp and noodles and it's so good. It comes with a sauce on the side that is amazing. The portions for $17 are also insane. The plate is huge and could last you at least two meals. Don't come here if you can't do the long wait for amazing food. The people running this are nice but there are only 3 of them serving everyone so be patient and you will be rewarded with the best plate of food you've had in a while.

Quite simply, these are the BEST fish tacos I've ever had in the Bay Area…read more The place is half a block from my studio, so I have the privilege of confirming this opinion at least once a week. I've also brought plenty of friends and family here to try them, and the verdict is always the same: wonderful! I've heard that pretty much everything else on the menu is equally excellent, but I'm completely addicted to the fish tacos, so I've never managed to order anything else. It's cozy, friendly, and incredibly efficient if you happen to be in a hurry. I honestly couldn't recommend it more highly, or more fondly.

The hype over their fish tacos is well deserved! The fish pieces were battered, fried, and very…read moresubstantial. I really enjoyed the creamy orange sauce. $5.75 a taco may seem a bit much, but at least the taco size and quality justifies the price. I also ordered the smaller size of ceviche for $15. It came with 2 large round tortilla chips (not sure what these are called) and a packet of saltine crackers. I feel like a bag of tortilla chips would have gone nicely with the ceviche because I ran out of the 2 large chips and crackers before I finished the ceviche. The ceviche itself was perfect. Their spinach pineapple agua fresca was refreshing and reminded me of those Odwalla green smoothies. You do taste the spinach but it's sweet and tastes good! I got here around 5:40 on a Friday and there was plenty of outdoor seating available, though it did start to fill up the longer I stayed. You can enter on either side of the back of Aloha.

Pair either one with the red salsa, and you really can't go wrong. Oh, and get some horchata--it's great. I've always had friendly, efficient service here. Even when there's a line, the staff keeps things moving, and the food comes out fresh and fast. Okay, it's a taco truck--nothing fancy, but that's part of the charm. Standing outside with your food, soaking in the neighborhood atmosphere, and enjoying authentic Mexican food straight from the grill is exactly the experience you're looking for.

Not worth $18 for a shrimp burrito…read more Everything better be sourced from the most high end farms to be charging like that. It's cool to charge $15 maybe even $16 tops But $18 is Rape I know my people enough to know that that ain't it. Didn't feel the love in the food. It shouldn't be about the money you charge because you can because you one of the few places in town. Should hold yourself up to a standard regardless of anything. Didn't feel the $18 burrito experience felt more like $12 dollar experience the way the burrito was. I know taste. Anyway the people sometimes judge, give dirty looks or act as if, so manners and kindness and integrity matter so much. People pay you for a service not just food.

Their truck/tent was always colorful and inviting with friendly workers. My favorite and go-to was the shawarma wrap, which was huge, flavorful and delicious. I also liked their lumpia as a side dish. I just tried them again at the Spring Brews Fest in Todos Santos Plaza today and had to get my OG chicken shawarma wrap- it's literally been years since I had it. The wait was pretty long but expected at peak hours of the event. Although it was still good with the flavorful chicken, fresh produce, and tasty sauces, the wrap was smaller than I remembered and more expensive by a few bucks. The staff was working pretty hard cranking out all the orders so I gotta give them credit for surviving during the pandemic and economic crisis. The menu has some other tempting items like my people's pancit, adobo - I'll have to try their combos and the shawarma fries next time I see them in town!

**ACCEPTS CARDS NOW**…read more Can't go to Oakland without stopping by this taco truck! Service is always good! Even with a line the tacos still come out reasonable. It's located on a large parking lot so there's plenty of free parking. Not much ambiance because it's a pretty casual and straight forward place. They have an indoor space or you can stay in your car and munch on your tacos. Al Pastor is still my go-to and love all the pickled sides they add to it. They also accept card now which is awesome!!!

The burrito was packaged nicely, and after a couple bites I realized I didn't like how the meat tasted. Like it was old. I ordered the burrito with cheese and started to take it back because there was none, until I reached the bottom, it was all there. I always order jalapeños, which they usually give me in a bag with carrots. Today the bag was full of carrots with three small jalapeños. Though the service was good, it always is, I was extremely disappointed in my burrito.

Located conveniently right next to the Goodwill off of International Blvd in the Fruitvale…read moreneighborhood in Oakland, this is a taco truck that you do not want to miss at all costs! This is a local business that I stumbled upon one night when I was highly craving tacos. I love how they still have seating despite the weather, rain or shine. If you're pulling up to this place, you're in luck -- because they have the best taco meats in all of Oakland. Whether you go for al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, or lengua-- they are all generously seasoned and rich, with that juicy, well-browned texture that makes each bite memorable. From what I've heard, Oakland locals often praise the quality and depth of the meats, and you can tell they're working with ingredients that stand up to the hype. The corn tortillas hold up beautifully too, as they were charred, warm at the edges. It's laid-back street food at its best--tacos that hit hard on flavor and make you want to come back for another round. Honestly, I would be coming here to enjoy with minimal fuss, cash in hand, and a big appetite.

After playing a round of golf, I wanted to visit a food truck for some post-round fuel. Looked up a…read morespot and ended up here. This truck is parked in the goodwill parking lot. They have two trucks, but this one had more people at it, so decided to order from this one. I went with 4 tacos (2 pastor, 2 carnitas) and a super burrito and a can of coke. $36 but my card was charged $39, guessing tax, so lesson learned bring cash. The tacos were pretty good. All the meats were on the sweeter side, but much preferred the carnitas over the pastor. I usually order a super burrito , and what I didn't realize was that a super burrito here means a larger burrito. At first I was like , why is it $20 - then when I got it, it was so massive that it could feed a small family or for me it was multiple meals. The burrito itself was tasty, I thought the carne was good, again a little sweet tasting, but the rice beans and sour cream made the burrito simple yet good. I ate half for one meal, then saved the other for later. Overall, it's one of those spots that I'm glad I tried it, and if I was in the area, I'd try it again.
