I have been going to Super Taq for many years. I have driven by this truck on Masten Avenune numerous times and it is always busy, so I decided to try it today. I had the carnitas burrito. The carnitas were perfect. The burrito super yummy, and I LOVE their salsa verde. The salsa verde at Super Taq can be super hot. This one is a tad hot, and a little sweet. Excellent! Next time I will say no rice or cilantro in the burrito. But other than that? Perfection! read more

Food was a 10 we ordered carne asada burrito and 2 tortas de carne asada! The service was not great the lady that took our order was agitated and short with us while taking our order. I will still return as it must have been an off day for her! I recommend this taco truck the food is awesome read more

All around best in everything you can find in a road side taco trunk. My family stops here every time we make a road trip.

Came here off of the reviews. It's a cash only food truck/trailer. Very limited English. I had a chicken burrito and it was packed with toppings. The food was good. This style of burrito was not necessarily my favorite style, but you could tell it was fresh. read more

We've been coming here because the food's usually good, but this last visit was really disappointing. I ordered tacos with cilantro only and salsa on the side, and I even ordered in Spanish to make sure they understood. They messed it up twice. When I told the lady at the window, she acted like she wasn't even listening, and her attitude came off rude. You'd think they'd be more appreciative of their customers -- especially since people still choose to buy food from them despite it being in a dirt lot. I just left the food on the counter and walked away. read more

I was surprised that there was a taco truck sort of in the middle of nowhere. I was on my way to San Martin and needed a quick food, saw this place and made a pit stop. Cash only! Ordered a carne asada burrito for ease. It came with rice, beans and pico. Took mine without beans. The burrito was delicious. The carne asada meat had flavor too. I wished they gave me hot sauce with the burrito and I forgot to ask. They did provide like a little pouch of a pepper, onions and radish. Quick stop for a quick lunch if you're in the area! read more

Delish. I pulled in at 4:45 on a weekday and the parking lot was nearly empty. At 5, it was like locusts descending. Not an empty spot to be found. Got my burrito quick, almost no wait. I'd come here again. Fairly cheap, fast (at the time I went), tasty, picnic tables available, parking's easy to get in and out of with my extended length cargo van...checks all my boxes. read more

I ‍ their TACOS‼ I always get 2 de suadero and 2 de cabeza with everything.!!! They come fully prepared as you see them on my plate, with a little side of cebollitas, a chilito toreado, rábanos and limón! I usually call ahead and they are ready within 10-15 minutes. They have a picnic table and a portable bathroom with water and soap so if you have to eat there, you can. Give them a try!!! read more

AVOID!! Not good. Low quality meat. Mostly filler, rice and beans, in the 'meat' burrito. Very greasy. Brother and I both are sick after eating a burrito and a taco each. Zero stars read more

Unfortunately, yesterday was the last time I will be eating here. I got violent food poisoning from a burrito I ate around noon.

In addition to being a 'burger connoisseur', 'calamari connoisseur', I have to also admit to being a self proclaimed 'taco truck connoisseur'. I've been to many Taco Trucks throughout California from Frisco, to Eastside San Jose to Eastside Long Beach, and what I've learned what makes a good reputable Taco Truck is consistency, cleanliness, pricing, call in orders, and a distinct taste of the various meats (Carne Asada, Pollo, Pastor, to name a few) which sets them apart from others in a very competitive market space. Now I know I'm not of hispanic decent but that shouldn't disqualify me or others of knowing a good Taco Truck when they encounter one and Tacos El Abuelo is one of the good ones. Tacos El Abuelo have reasonably priced tacos, burritos, etc. If you want to have an event, they also provide catering. I've used Tacos El Abuelo multiple times for fight parties, football games, Superbowl parties pre pandemic and they've always come thru in the clutch and has been a hit with the guests. If I just want to grab a few tacos after work that works too. Only thing that's holding them back from being truly one of a kind is that they only accept cash. While cash-only is good, it has it's setbacks. Given Covid-19 most people would like to avoid the use of cash and the fact that's it's 2020, credit card usage would surely be beneficial to all parties involved. There's been a few times where I wanted to hit them up but I didn't have any cash on me so I had to settle for something else to my chagrin... :( All in all a great spot to grab a bite to eat. Customer service is good, call-in orders are hassle-free and you can usually get in and out of there in 10 minutes or less. read more

Quesadillas and tacos are delicious and food was ready in no time even with a line. Always stop by when in Gilroy

YUP, definitely a fan!! It was taco Tuesday, and trying Tacos El Abuelo for the first time was a must. Pretty much a hidden gem right off the highway. I had tacos with asada and chicken, the meat flavor was AMAZING and the salsa that comes on top was not too spicy, just perfect amount of kick. They have two tables in the area in case you decide to eat there, you can also call ahead for pick up which I thought was pretty convenient. Also, FYI, CASH ONLY!! besides that, everything was perfect for a quick stop at a taco truck, I will for sure be going back to try something else. read more

I really, really enjoyed hopping off the freeway to find this food truck just two minutes off highway 101 outside of Gilroy. I had the best ($11 carne asada) burrito of my life! The meat was great, the beans soft and creamy - home cooked. The burrito had small sides of fresh lemon, radishes, and grilled onions and a half hot green pepper. Be aware that the food truck parks on a (dusty) gravel lot next to an agricultural field (corn coming up when I was there). Lots of local people pull up, delivery truck drivers, etc. As mentioned by others, there are two dusty and partially shaded picnic tables if you need to get out of your car...which I highly recommend, so you can soak up this special bit of Mexican California culture. read more

We love this place. $10 monster burritos that are fresh and made to order. We frequently buy when we are working in the area for all of our crew. Everyone loves them, the pastor and carnitas are seasoned and yummy. The fresh made salsa is HOT! read more

Good food, good price. They had a table for us to sit at, which appreciated. It's good to note, it's in a dirt parking area, right off of the road, which can be dusty with cars coming and going. We sat under a tree and were content though. read more

This taco truck conveniently off 101 on Masten makes some of the best tacos in town. I usually get the pastor, but the asada and chicken were also good. Best to call order in because this roadside place gets crazy busy with all kinds of workers from the area. They always know where the good food is. Cash only, but prices are very reasonable. Service is always excellent. They have a couple of picnic tables on the side if you just want to wolf it down and roll on. read more

Great taco truck near the 101/Masten off ramp. Excellent burritos with a grilled Chile pepper. Friendly service.

Amazing food and awesome service!! I can't stop eating their food and tacos. Best tacos in town.

Extremely good tacos!!! If you're in the area u should also try the quesadillas! Highly satisfying.

Best tacos and burritos in Gilroy. Call ahead for pick up. They get busy around lunch time so plan accordingly.

At least once a week I stop by and get myself some lunch from here and I love it. My favorite is the burritos is really fast, fresh and tasty. I love their customer service. read more

Best tacos you'll find closest to both Morgan hill and gilroy. We tried the carne asada, pastor, and carnitas tacos. This place is cash only and priced similarly to other Bay Area tacos but totally worth it. The service was super fast and our encounter with who May be the owner was great. He was super kind! Our favorite was the pastor. We even debated getting more. The flavor was good and they don't skip on putting a good amount of meat. The carnitas tasted clean and the asada had no fatty pieces. Highly recommend and so glad we finally found a good taco spot close to Morgan hill! read more

Great food for reasonable prices! I've ate here a few times and it's been enjoyable each time. I get the tacos and burritos with either steak or marinated pork. It's really good and the food is fresh. Just remember it's cash only! read more

My family and I tried the tacos from this taco truck for the first time today. The asada and al pastor tacos are good but the tacos de suadero were absolutely delicious! This immediately became our favorite taco truck :) read more

One of the best taco places. Friendly and fast service. This is our favorite taco place.

The pastor tacos here are so flavorful and delicious! Everything was well made and very fresh. The salsa is tasty but it is spicy so beware haha! And they hook it up on the meat! read more

Tacos El Abuelo - Al pastor tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Gilroy, California

Worth the visit in my opinion. They are off the side of the freeway so a lot of truck drivers tend to stop here. However they only accept cash. Their salsa and pepper are spicy so not for people that can't tolerate spicy food. The food comes out very quick and fast read more

Food is garbage , onions not cooked , salsa is bland just would never come back fake reviews .....

Decided to try this place after always seeing it packed. We just ordered the tacos but tried the carne asada, el pastor, carnitas and brisket. Ingredients were fresh and everything was very flavorful. My favorite was the carne asada and my moms was the carnitas. Salsas were good as well. I think we'll pass on the brisket next time as it was pretty fatty. Only downside was the wait time because there were a lot of people who ordered before us. read more

We found this following a detour on google maps. What a treat. I had two tacos, carnitas and brisket. Mark had a burrito with chicken. Both came with a side of lightly grilled onions and half a jalapeño. At first I thought the two tiny tacos wouldn't be enough, and if I'm here again I might order three, but Mark's burrito was so big he actually shared with me! Everything was great - except the jalapeño which neither of us ate. If I'm here again I'll probably have a quesadilla or maybe a torta or who knows! It was all good. read more

Great food and customer service. Hard working taco truck. Food is authentic and very tasty.

We experienced this wonderful taco truck during the night of Gilroy Garden's Oasis after dark event. I had my doubts, but I was wonderfully proven wrong. I tried the lengua (tongue), suadero (beef belly/leg meat), carnitas (pork), carne asada (beef), and al pastor (marinated pork). The meat was wonderfully flavored. Usually with taco trucks you don't get meat that has been flavored alone. Many try to flavor their meat with the salsa and accessories, however their meat had flavor by itself which is a great start. The salsas; green, red, and guacamole salsa were on point. They serve grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno on the side as well. I would visit this taco truck weekly If it wasn't so far away. Great job! Great food! Don't change! read more

Fire! Food is always nice and hot. Tacos are bomb and the burritos are stupid. I starve myself all day just to eat here.

The best tacos I've had salsa, meats and everything is perfect! Highly recommend if you're looking for quality good tacos

We are always in search of good taco places especially for well marinated al pastor and this is definitely one of those stops well worth pulling off 101 for! There is a wait however if you like spicy tacos, light tortillas and flavorful meat you have to try it! I tried a chicken and asada but I'd say al pastor and chicken are my top two read more
