    Al pastor and grilled chicken
    Erica M.

    I haven't been back to this truck since Covid started. I use to love their Al pastor. After a couple of years I decided to come back. The Al pastor is still very good, just wish it had pineapple pieces. The salsa verde is very tasty. The chicken was a bit bland. I will be back for more Al pastor.

    Visited this place per my friend's request :-) Nothing wow about this place. I ordered 2 Tacos with Pastor and they were pretty good, the meat wasn't too dry and wasn't too oily either. Complimentary red&green salsa tasted super good. Only complain was it was so slow to get my taco :-) The price was decent about $2.XX/taco

    2 tacos de asada 2 de cabeza

    Tacos are delicious.... Recommend the asada ones I love that they have yellow tortillas. Service was good, it's a food truck so they only have 3 seats unless you want to eat in your car like I did plenty of parking.

    Inside the burritos

    I have had a few people tell me to try this place. First thing if you decide to try it, parking is limited. May have to park and walk a little. I ordered the marinated pork super burrito. A good size burrito and it was very balanced with the flavors. My only issue was I had a few bites that had a little to much sweetness for me, like there was pineapple or something in there. Not my first choice in flavors in a burrito. The rest of the family had Carne Asada tacos and they liked them and said there was very little to no fat mixed in the meat. They had good flavor and would get them again. You have to ask for the salsa and I thought it was really good and so did my family. The staff was very nice and did make me fell the valued my decision to choose them for my meal. I will return, We are very picky with our Mexican food and this place made us happy.

    This place is racist. If you are not hispanic they will lie and tell you they dont have stuff but if you stick around; you will see them give what you requested to someone else secretly. I also noticed they did not show me the pricing for my order but showed everyone else. Clear difference in service. If you are not hispanic; expect a different treatment. Do not give them your money.

    My favorite taco truck in Fremont. The meat does not taste like it's been frozen, and the tortillas are the good ones! Friendly staff! The prices went up, but it's worth selling my cat on the streets and eating more of these.

    Top Al Pastor, and 2 Suadero Tacos
    May G.

    Their Suadero Tacos are so delicious! You would want to have them 3X a week! But make sure you pair them up with Al Pastor Tacos cause the Suadero has a lot of fats which gives it a lot of flavor.

    Pretty popular yet authentic taco truck. Lines definitely form. And to my surprise, a lot of Doordash pick-ups. I didn't know you could Doordash a food truck, huh... But authentic in terms of very little English spoken here, workers and customers. Authentic in terms of meats offered, suadero, tripas, lengua, cabeza all here. Authentic in terms that Mexican banda music will seranade you through their outdoor speakers as you wait. Authentico. But sometimes authentic doesn't always mean great as well. Sometimes it can be downright poorly executed, or it could be just alright. Which seemed the case here for me, in just a few visits. Lengua Tacos ($3/4*) Decent lengua, very tender but chopped on the smaller side. Really needs salsa to amp it up. Their salsas are good though. Suadero Tacos ($3/4*) Decent rendition, but again more finely chopped than what I'd prefer. When it's chopped too fine, you lose the identity of what you ordered. They also really pack on the raw onions here, like the most I've ever seen from a taqueria. So if you don't have a huge love for a mouthful of raw onions, I'd say for them to cut it back a bit. But if you don't speak Spanish, then you may just be sh%# outa luck. Campechano Tacos ($3/2*) So the menu states these are a mix of suadero and tripas together, in one taco. I've never had this combo before, but I love both meats individually. So I thought this was gonna be a for sure hit. Not so much. Again, it was so chopped that this time (different outing therefore different cook), that it was basically pulverized. Totally couldn't discern if it was suadero or tripas. Actually to me, it tasted and looked like mexican chorizo, right down to the orange/red hue. Now taste wise, it was fine, cuz I actually like chorizo. But since I wanted to taste/feel the chosen meats, but didn't perceive any, gotta knock em a star. Tlacoyos con Pastor ($11/3.5*) Again high expectations here. I love Tlacoyos, which to me are similar if not the same as Huraches. To me, it's a taco on steroids. Imagine getting 3-4X the meat of a taco, then to use a big oval shaped pupusa as the base. Conceptually it's amazing. So here, the thickish masa base is pretty solid. Griddled to order with plenty of oil so it is hot to the touch when you get it, and it bites real tender. Except usually I see a thin spread of some pureed beans to set a base for the toppings, but here, I couldn't detect any beans. Then the Al Pastor that I chose to top, was actually pretty good. They do the shaving off a spit and even garnish with thinly sliced pineapple. Super legit and authentico. So the pork had a great texture, cuz it wasn't further chopped into oblivion. I could totally see and respect the pork texture. But the seasoning for the pastor itself, was super light. So light that it just seemed like a pork shawarma to me, which in certain cultures is an actual oxymoron. So for this, great texture, but so-so flavor. So not sure if I need to come back, as nothing is pulling me to return. But I'm certainly glad that I gave them a whirl. I used to always wonder about the people who line up here. Well now I know.

Everything is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The pupusas are perfectly cooked -- soft inside with a nice crisp outside -- and the fillings are generous and delicious. What really stands out is the service. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, and you can feel the pride they have in their food. This truck is such a great addition to Fremont's food scene. Definitely worth stopping by -- I have already been there like four times AND I'll be coming back for sure.

There's so much filling, and her cortido and tomato sauce are excellent as well! I usually order the revuelta. I also like her Al pastor pork. I like how the slices are larger and has just the right amount of heat. I'm not sure what she uses to marinate it in, but I do like that I don't have to eat little pieces of pineapple. I feel that's just filler. Her food truck is small, but so colorful. There's one table to its right, but we usually order to go. Christina is friendly and accommodating, too. Once in a while her daughter helps her out, but please don't rush her, since she's usually by herself, but she hustles as fast as she can, too! Thank you Christina!

    UPDATE: Found delicious, fresh tacos with fast service three minutes away! ONE exit up at Decoto on…read more880 North is Amelia's Kitchen taco truck! If it's a weekday and between 10 AM and 6 PM (call to check as they sometimes close early when they sell out), go to Amelia's and try the Amelia's Taco Dorado (crunchy taco shell in a soft taco tortilla with the works of meat, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and her own salsa). She also has regular street tacos and Tacos Supreme (comes with guac and sour cream). Hefty portions (she doesn't skimp on the guacamole or meat) and all of her prices are listed out. Best part? Call ahead to give your order to Juan and they'll have your order ready. We've ordered ahead while a few exits away on 880 and also at the start of the Dumbarton bridge. ============================== This has been on my radar since my colleague told me about the best tacos he'd ever had in the Bay Area including al pastor sliced off a trompo, but then Tacos Grill Los Gonzalez disappeared for a while from the Apex used car lot. They're finally back so we did the long trek over to try them twice. I might come back if I happened to be in the area and saw zero people in line, but otherwise, the wait time is too long. They are not lunch time friendly as orders take a while to come out. First visit, there were two people in front of us and we ordered four tacos. It was a 28 minute wait. Second visit, two people ordered in front of us plus one person who picked up their order right as we got there. We ordered six tacos and waited 37 minutes. That is very long for a food truck. The people in front of us were getting impatient and repeatedly asking for status updates. There are no prices listed anywhere so you have to ask about each item or order off of blind trust. The trompo seems to be gone and it appears they use bulk bagged "al pastor" now, or at least it looked and tasted like what you see when taquerias order large plastic bags of pre-sliced, red-dyed meat to grill up as needed. The paper wrapper around each taco is a must because the fresh made tortillas fall apart after one bite, even if you are eating within minutes of being handed your tacos. Other options nearby are Amelia's Kitchen Taco Truck on Decoto with plenty of parking before Regan Nursery, Tacos Sin Fronteras (another food truck) a block down on the same side of Thornton and Mi Lindo Sinaloa (sit down restaurant) on the opposite side of Thornton.

It's a basic setup, in the corner of an auto lot just off the East-bound Thornton and 880 exit. There are a few fold-out plastic tables and some stools, and a condiments table with all of your pickled veggies and salsas. We ordered the works: Asada Vampiro 5/5 Al Pastor Vampiro 5/5 Mulita 5/5 Chicken Tacos 4/5 Al pastor Quesadilla 5/5 - it's the size of the plate! Everything is well seasoned and the portions are large.
