    Tacos Asada Carnitas and Rice

    Best in downtown Fresno! Service with smiles and great music for the lunch atmosphere. Always a line because it's great food and he's pretty quick to serve you.

    I've eaten from this food truck 2 times. The first time was at a catered event, which offered tacos, rice and beans. The food was delicious and the tacos were full of meat. The second time was at Clovis Ave just south of Belmont (at the old Spinos Nursery location). The owner said he would be there from 5:00 to 10:00, everyday and he was also getting other food trucks to join him. Again, the food was delicious, I ordered the California Burrito. This location has tons of covered seating and there is also restroom facilities. Prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and service is fast. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    Ordered the Chilaquiles for breakfast this morning and haven't been able to stop thinking about it ALL DAY. By far the best meal I've had in forever. It was heavenly. Looking forward to the next time I run into the Taconazo truck.

    The customer service was both super friendly and patient. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the nacho fries. Everything was delicious, and this is now our favorite taco truck! Not normally where I am at this time of day any day of the week, but I plan to venture here for these tacos. Cannot wait to have my significant other try the tacos and nachos. Looking forward to returning many times. Would love to know if/when they situate themselves somewhere for dinnertime tacos.

    I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good taco truck, Me and my husband always come back because the food is so good!! The service is also the best part about this place because if they make a mistake they fix it right away and have never gave me an issue, good food, good service what more could you ask for?

    I've been here about five times over the years. All I've ever tried us the carnitas burrito, because it is the best carnitas burrito I've had. The filling is delicious and complete, but the magic is that the carnitas are treated just like they should be, cooked to deliciousness and seemingly fried so they have that beautiful brown crisp to them, even when stuffed in a burrito. If you are in the area, try it.

    I was at Gazebo Gardens recently and wanted to get a bite to eat from one of the food trucks that…read morewas there. I love sushi, but was a bit apprehensive of ordering sushi from one. I decided to give it a try at Grobak and was so pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Orange Dragon Roll and it was delicious. The fish was fresh and the sauce toppings added so much to the roll. It didn't come with the traditional soy sauce, wasabi, or ginger and I was worried it wouldn't be as good as a result. Wow! Is all I can say. I really enjoyed their sushi, even without the extra sides I am used to. I look forward to getting a chance to eat at this food truck again.

I always thought…read moresushi from a food truck seemed a bit strange, but I checked out their page and the fish looked really fresh, so I thought I'd give it a go. The woman who helped me was nice--just standard service. I ordered my roll and was handed a little pager thing to wait for my order to be ready. Once it was ready, I was handed the roll in a styrofoam box and went to eat it at a table. I got the orange dragon roll, and it was absolutely delicious. The salmon was some of the freshest-tasting (and texture) I've ever had! Not to mention everything else in the roll complimented it perfectly. Definitely check them out.

My wife is fiending for something beefy, and sees a steak dish on the menu. I say, "I dunno about steak from a Thai (maybe Lao) food truck." It was called Crying Tiger with Rice, for $17. But hunger won over, and we ordered it. The food came out in good order and promptly. And oh my, this steak was DELICIOUS. Cooked a perfect medium rare, it was tender, juicy, marinated with something that brought out the steak flavor. With the dipping sauce, it was a savory, citrus-y delight with a small spicy kick. Sorry for eating part of it before thinking "I definitely have to rate this place". Lol. I highly recommend giving this place a try. Happy eating!

I need to expand my range of their menu next time, but the crying tiger and dipping sauce is just so dang good. The folks who work this truck are helpful and kind too. One time out at the college, they ran out of, if you can believe it... sticky rice! They did notify us before we ordered, but again, that steak and dipping sauce was just something I couldn't resist. They quickly offered to replace it with eggrolls and we got 4! (There was another time that they did not come out to a scheduled spot due to weather. And I wondered about food trucks not coming out due to rain, is it a functionality thing for the truck or do they think people won't be out and about to purchase? Because let me tell you staff love a chance to order food that isn't the cafe without having to leave campus! Haha)

    This is a hidden gem (?) at least to me, in downtown Fresno. I live 30 minutes away but was…read moredowntown for a play at the Saroyan Theater. This food truck is like a kitchen on wheels. I had the pulled pork sandwich with a side of yummy coleslaw. The sandwich came with several single serving size containers of bbq sauce. The pulled pork was very tender, moist and smoked deliciously. Soft hoagie roll. The bbq sauce was very flavorful and not spicy which is how I like it. I loved the coleslaw because it wasn't too mayonnaisey, more of a subtle vinegar flavor. My son ordered the brisket with collard greens which he says, you can't truly be a bbq restaurant without collard greens. He loved them and the brisket was tender and lean. His husband ordered a tri tip sandwich with the Mac n cheese along with a made to order Blackberry Lemonade. They both loved their meals. We all agreed we'd return for another meal. Tge desserts looks delicious! Bread pudding, peach cobbler and a couple other choices. Like I said, another day to indulge in dessert. It is outdoor seating only on picnic tables. You could see the owner and his assistant working hard to prepare the meals. They had a steady stream of guests. Good location with parking very close by.

    I've been coming here since they opened in fresno, the quality has gone down hill tremendously…read more Pricing has gone up, serving sizes gone down. I love brisket, the last 3 times, brisket was dried and probably days old. Brisket in suppose to be tender and juicy. This was not. Tri tip cut the wrong way, not even tender, consistently out of certain side dishes and act like they're sold out. Service is ok, food truck style, they had the indoors open for a little bit, not sure what's happened. The ambiance is downtown food truck style, service is ok, near other bars and restaurants. 11/14 - 2 plates ~$50 12/4 2 plates - ~$75 They lost a customer in me. I can go to mega Texas, westwoods or any other location for better bbq options.

    So, we pass by the this truck every Saturday. My daughter was really wanted a fruit smoothie and…read morethis was conveniently on our way to our next stop. They have windows on both sides of the truck but I guess the working windows faces the street. That's where we order and pick up. Totally didn't know that stood there like a dummy u til someone said something. When we went around the truck, it was against a curb and there were small puddles of water. I'm not sure if it's the trash cans that smelled or there was a sewer really nearby. It smelled really nasty. My daughter insisted that she still wanted a mango smoothie and coconut water sounded pretty refreshing. Plus, we were already patiently waiting for a while before someone told us to order on the other cramped side. The lady that took our order wasn't friendly. She just ask what we wanted to order. She looked at me with a confused face when I said coconut water and mango smoothie. Maybe she didn't speak English? She walked away from the window I'm assuming to ask someone in the truck about our order. A man came to the window and ask what we order and we said mango smoothie and coconut water. He translated to her. Our drinks only cost $2.50 each which is sooooo inexpensive. I didn't see the prices listed for the drinks, only for food. The window was a bit high, so I'm glad I am not shorter than 5'3! I was standing on the curb too! After a few minutes, we got our drinks. The mango smoothie was dripping on the side so we had to clean it up. My daughter said it was delicious and she can taste the freshness. (Frozen mangos) my coconut water was in a really big container and it was super refreshing. It was warmer than chilled but colder than room temperature. I had minimum bits of coconut bits in my drink. Overall, the drinks were really good. Service could be way better, the man was nice. I probably wouldn't order from them again if they are in the same location facing the street because of the smell. But if saw them anywhere else at an event, I would for sure order again!

    Love the fruit here, they have so many options too. They also serve any number of other types of…read moresnacks and food too! However, I have only tried the Crazy Fruit and the Corn in a Cup. Can't wait to try the mangoneadas! I was surprised at the price, but honestly, it's a lot of fruit, and it was all fresh and great quality. The corn was pretty tasty too. No idea what was in it, my guess would be mayo, butter, maybe some type of creama instead of butter, queso fresco and chile powder. So definitely a lot of dairy! If that is not your thing, grab a roasted corn instead! My 3 star ratings is really for the inconvenient set up. They have the ordering window on the street side (I'm sure to entice others to stop by), but the street side is positioned on this weird planter/curb area, which is muddy and smelly. They have put plastic pallets down in front of the ordering window, but it is still not the safest area. Don't get me wrong the actual location is great central spot, close to Fresno State, but the location on the premise itself could be reworked I'm sure. Don't necessarily know if that will totally stop me from coming back, but just an honest look at the place!
