    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.

    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

    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

    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

    Al Pastor Super Quesadilla
    Iris Y.

    This taco truck has the styles and quality of the popular taqueria in town. Not much places does the Guadalajara style quesadilla but they do! I got the Al Pastor super quesadilla and it tastes amazing! They also told me they will soon offer California Burritos and Carne Asada fries. Those are all my favorite when going to socal. Will be coming back!

    Dominic’s Food Truck

    4.1(57 reviews)

    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 was in the Bay Area on business and visited Leo J. Ryan Park in Foster City during a food truck…read moreand doggie event -- all under the supermoon! Most of the crowd was centered near the front of the park where the band was playing, but I decided to wander all the way to the end. That's where I found Dominic's, a sleek all-black food truck that immediately stood out. Their menu listed steak nachos, but I asked if they could make steak asada fries instead -- and without hesitation, they said yes. That alone told me a lot about their hospitality and flexibility. And let me tell you, those fries were absolutely delicious: juicy, tender steak packed with flavor, layered perfectly over the fries. To top it off, the guys surprised me with complimentary mini cannolis, which made the whole experience even sweeter. While most people stayed near the busier area up front, I encourage anyone visiting these events to walk the entire park and check out all the trucks -- you never know where the hidden gems are waiting. Dominic's is one of them. Yes, prices lean a little higher, but the quality, flavors, and service make it more than worth it. Thank you, Dominic's, for a fantastic meal and a happy tummy! Highly recommend.

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. RR also offers a luscious PORCHETTA SANDWICH but ONLY available at the Saturday morning Ferry Building Marketplace. And through various retail stores, their famous Butcher's Bone Broth, great for dipping or as a starter for a quick, soup recipe.

It was a little under salted for me, but still pretty good. Honestly seems like their chicken is a lot better than the porchetta they're known for, so I'm looking forward to trying that out next time

    IT'S FRIDAY, my favorite day of the week, because it means that the Munch Truck is in SF!! This is…read moremy ABSOLUTE favorite lunch spot in the city. I like to call their platters "homemade meals prepared by a loving grandmother." Trust me, I spent a summer in New Delhi and ate a lot of home cooked meals by my host, and Munch manages to exceed those standards. Every time I come here, I get the Vegetarian Combo for $14. It comes with three different veggie sides - today, there was potato, okra, and chickpeas. (The sides rotate. I've also had eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini here, though chickpeas seem to be a staple.) I'm not a vegetarian, but if I could eat this every day, I gladly would become one. Tips: - COME HERE FOR LUNCH. DO IT. - Munch India has a twitter account where they post updates - they'll usually post whether they'll be at a particular location, so check the page first (@munchindia) before coming. (I've had sad Fridays where I walked here without checking and no purple truck was in sight )

    It's a treat, also in terms of calories and price (note a lot of the pictures with prices are…read moredated). The combo is a great sampler - why choose when you can get them all?! Mine included: -Rice: 4 stars, I like that it had veggies (green beans, Lima beans, carrot - singular, haha) -Roti: 5 stars -Daal: 4 stars, I think? It was so itty bitty it was hard to tell. Given the size, it would have been great to instead have a little Halwa or rice pudding for a small sweet finish. -Eggplant: 5 stars, my fav of the veggie options with great flavor -Cabbage: 4 stars -Kidney beans: 3 stars Arriving close to opening at 11:30 made for a turn around of only a few minutes. Take your lunch to one of the nearby POPOS and enjoy!
