    Super Burritos, Horchata, chips n Salsa, Verde sauce
    Shawn S.

    Food is very good and delicious for my first time here. I paid only 30$ and I got 2 super burritos, horchata with some,chips and salsa too, the only thing I notice is there is no salsa bar or just a small space to get more salsa and water. Whenever I go to any Taqueria or buy burritos there is a Salsa Bar that has red, green, limes, and small cups or utensils. Sure you can pay for more but I just want 2 or 1 of each type and an extra small bag of chips, not a big problem just something I want to let other's know. There are some seats to eat in, but it's a food truck and it's best to eat in your car or go down to the donut shop and buy a coffee to eat there. The ladies working were nice and very friendly I didn't see any problem getting my order. I spoke spanish to order and then english later on to thank, because I like being mysterious and making guys laugh hehheehehhe. Me gusta jokes o gusto Malo Mujeres.....eh heheh Very chill place, prices are very fair and you won't find too many places that sell burritos under 15 before taxes. Limited series but food trucks are like that the feeling of eating outside with your friends and fresh made Tacos made from scratch is a nice experience we should enjoy. Am definitely coming back here to taste the nachos and the Quesadillas too. I probably go with mexican coke or mexican pepsi for the drink, though it's always best to go with horchata or fresh squeeze Orange. Whatever you prefer me I just like tasting horchata first then after all the frescas I pick what tastes better with the Burritos or food I have chosen. Keep up the good work 10/10 and maybe open a small place for getting salsa and water.

    Pretty decent Mexican food. I got an El Pastore/Carne Asada torta. The meat was diced very small. Bread and the vegetables tasted fresh. The service was fast and friendly. My only one star off was that there were no chips offered and when I asked for salsa she said they only gave me one: spicy. Unlike the other reviews, I didn't have a chance to try the other salsas. Still recommend since it's friendly

    Lengua tacos
    Janice L.

    I'm always on the lookout for good lengua, so finding this taco truck in Daly City was a nice surprise. The tacos did not disappoint--especially the lengua, which was super tender. The nachos were great too. Definitely a hidden gem, and the ladies running it were so kind.

    Birria super burrito
    Rebekah T.

    Damn El Charrito, you got me craving those flavors. After doing some grocery shopping in Colma, we decided to try a new (to us) taco truck which is located near the Wendy's in Colma/Day City border area. We were surprised to see so many 5 star reviews, but now I know why. We decided to get a couple burritos, my BF wanted a Carne Asada and I wanted the Birria. Both were huge and had half for lunch and the rest for dinner. What I really loved was the salsas! They gave us free chips with three types of salsa; a roasted pepper tomato that was spicy, a habanero that was also spicy but so tasty I couldn't stop eating it and the last was a green salsa that was less spicy but very flavorful.

    Quesabirria tacos to-go
    Mae D.

    Went on a Tuesday during lunch and ordered 2 orders of the birria tacos. Service was friendly. Although it took a tad bit longer than I expected to get the food. There were 2 customers from the same party before us and 2 people working the truck. But the food was packaged neatly to-go. No spills. Very good portions, good flavor and reasonably priced. Will be back again ;)

    Birria, carne asada, cabeza and al pastor tacos. 2 of them with sour cream for the kiddo.

    Another visit and another 5 star review. You know this place is good when you see other Mexican people eat here. This time we had a bunch of tacos. Birria, cabeza, carne asada, and al pastor. They were all delicious!! The women that run this truck are so nice and I love the friendliness and how welcoming they are. Plus, the seating area is a nice little spot to sit and enjoy your food.

    Quesabirria - nicely plated
    Dee T.

    We ordered six different items and all the to go food was packaged nicely. No spills. The quesabirrias were so meaty and flavorful. Carne Asada tacos were tasty. They give you tons of bagged tortilla chips and salsa. Chips were a tad salty but good. Carne Asada plate had generous portion. Nice customer service. Will definitely go back. Food truck is located in the parking lot of Royal Donuts in Colma.

    I got a delicious burrito bowl and it did not disappoint. I called ahead and it was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. They only take cash, so make sure you keep that in mind. The employees that work there were so friendly! The salsas are so tasty! 10/10

    Dominic's is my favorite food truck in the entire bay area…read more I've had food at almost all the food trucks between SF and the peninsula, and some from the south bay. It's a hidden gem for sure, and as you can tell from my photos, it's pretty much my #1 choice whenever I see them at a food truck gathering. It's a good and bad thing that they're not well known (good because there is no line or very fast wait, bad because they definitely deserve everyone's business). I've gone to them so much that they recognize me, since I tend to follow them wherever they go, even if it's at a random school fair, haha. Lately, I haven't been eating out but I do miss them. Low key they serve the best lobster rolls in the bay, with the best price. They know how to butter and grill the fluffy fresh bread so well, and they always have the perfect drawn butter ready. It's so great with their addictive skinny fries - even better if they're garlic fries. Their garlic is very freshly minced, and they bathe you in that garlic. They only do the lobster rolls once in a while, though. They always have a rotating special menu that I like to try, but they also have a solid standard menu. On their standard menu, I love their grilled fresh crab and shrimp sandwich, which is a nice substitute for lobster; it's also buttery, creamy, grilled perfectly, and filled with fresh sweet seafood. Just writing about their food makes me salivate. They've missed a couple of times with me - mostly on their Asian items, fried appetizers, and desserts. But if they're doing meat, seafood, sandwiches, or pasta (basically American or Italian), I'm all in there. Their lobster ravioli is way better than Costco or Trader Joe's, and probably on par with some upscale restaurants out here. You can even request slight modifications to your food and they'll get it done. They also have a regular catering business and offer pick up orders (usually with a 4 person minimum) for holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. While I enjoy my no wait time at Dominic's, I'll spread the word because I just have a good day any time I get to enjoy their food.

    I've previously liked the food I got from this food truck (crab sandwich is pretty good),…read moreespecially since they usually offer slightly fancier options. This time they clearly overcharged me for a 2nd item, didn't remove it from my order when I asked (despite telling me they did), then made the extra food anyways. When I mentioned it to them the 2nd time, they still did not offer to refund me on my card. I saw another order where they also seemed to have left off items. I'm hoping this was just a mistake but i probably wouldn't eat here again.

Check out my pic! The dog is huge with bacon, small diced tomatoes, grilled onions and lots of mayo and mustard artfully displayed over the diggity. I opted for no jalapeños or ketchup, personal preference. Oh, hold now...the bun is thinner than normal and toasted! I loved every bite! Winner Winner diggity dog dinner! Excellent Mexican food here.

You can also order ahead through Grubhub, Uber Eats, or DoorDash, which is super convenient since the in-person wait times can be long at times. Their pastor, tripa, cabeza, and lengua tacos are all consistently great. My boyfriend tried the burrito recently and loved it, and the quesabirria is always a solid choice; the consomme is flavorful without being too salty or oily. Just a heads-up: both the green and orange salsas are SPICY! We've also been to the Las Pencas Taqueria restaurant in SSF, but we definitely prefer the taco truck.

ROASTED POTATOES or VEGGIES are seasoned with the drippings of the rotating chicken as they cook. Yum! Occasionally some seating but most customers at this market will take their purchases to go. Counter person is always nice and helpful with questions. Service is quick, fast and that helps when the queue get long. They also offer ROTISSERIE PORK RIBS but haven't been able to get past their rotisserie chicken! Lol. I'll buy a whole ROTISSERIE CHICKEN almost once a week. Plus their ROASTED POTATOES or VEGGIES. Great for eating whole or cutting for soup, sandwiches or salads. If any, I'll use leftover potatoes for a breakfast hash, throw in some onions, peppers - yum! I'll have a spare bag sometimes when I buy b/c sometimes they run out of bags and it helps if you're buying two or more items.

They represent an equal-opportunity species of smug entitlement. Such is the case whenever I see this familiar navy blue Indian food truck parked on California at lunchtime during the week (photo: http://bit.ly/1QJi5Ln). The menu is surprisingly diverse for a food truck given the space constraints. I had the $10 Vegetarian Combo, which provides three veggie dishes, dal, rice and naan. The veggie dishes that day were Chana Masala (savory chick peas), Okra Bhaji (fried and curried okra) and boiled carrots from Riverdog Farms (photo: http://bit.ly/1MxBtY7). The okra was the best of the bunch with a spicy edge that cut through the sauce. I like how the owner makes a special point of using organic ingredients in his various stews. There was plenty of basmati rice to sop it up though the naan was a bit skimpy crumbled in the aluminium foil. It all came in an easily transportable covered tray that allowed me to avoid the suits.

Packed from end to end, well-balanced, and most importantly, every bite actually had meat in it. No sad pockets of rice and disappointment here. The carne asada was flavorful, tender, and had that fresh-off-the-grill taste that makes you slow down and appreciate what you're eating. My friend went with the quesabirria, and after stealing a bite (quality control purposes), I understood why people keep talking about it. Crispy, cheesy, and paired perfectly with the consommé.

The tortillas, the meats, the toppings -- nothing felt like it had been sitting around waiting for customers to show up.
