    TACO's!!!!
    Cass A.

    FIRST-TIMEER: Excellent service! Excellent food, and clean truck. This business cares about their patrons and ensure a great experience

    BEST MEAL IVE HAD THIS YEAR. We were driving to Mammoth and looking for lunch when we stumbled upon this taco truck. The family was so kind and insisted on setting up a table for us so we could sit outside and eat. The quesabirria was excellent and they even brought us out extra tacos to try. 11/10 food, 15/10 service, beautiful location, made our day

    Tacos de cabeza were Awesome!

    This owners were absolutely Amazing. They took the time to explain the variety of meat options, plus let us know he would have pork belly next week added as well. Me and the family were visiting from San Diego, and this spot gives our hundreds of taco shops a run for there money. They even provided me with extra salsa for my eggs the next morning. U would recommend trying everything on there menu, there's no disappointment

    Im out here working for the week and this was my go to place. being mexican im very picky about Mexican food. i dont do that fake texmex mexican food, this food truck has the best mexican food in Ridgecrest. had a QuesoTorta and was surprised how good it is. love it i definitely recommend if you're in town, staff is very friendly and locally respected. they have a bench outside with shade or plenty of space to park and eat.

    Amazing tacos! Try them all!!

    The food is some of the best in town. The customer service is great. It's kind of pricey but we'll worth it.

    Disappointed. I ordered online to pay at the restaurant…read more 1) The bill was supposed to be $56.77. When I got there i paid with my card and they charged me $67.61, more than $10 different and it wasn't due tip. I know everywhere they charge you 3% more if you pay with card instead of cash, but it was 19% more. 2) I got a burrito and it was 2/3 the size of a burrito from chipotle for the same price and the food was as salty. 3) I got the combo meal but the fajita didn't come with the wrap nor did I get my drink. I won't come here again. If the food is good I won't mind the higher cost, but they need to be transparent about it. But the food was ok (don't like how salty it was) and the unethical regarding the lack of transparency with the charges is making me not wanting to come back.

Wednesdays are the best day to visit this restaurant since they have tacos for $1.49 a piece all day on Wednesdays as they're special. We were just lucky enough to be there on a Wednesday so we swung in and had some tasty tacos I had the Carnitas tacos which were delicious note that these are street tacos so they are a little on the small side but well worth the money great service from the staff there we had the nicest server I think her name is Sylvia. Highly recommended if you find yourself in Ridgecrest any day of the week, but especially on Wednesday.

If you avoid fried food you need to know that Ale's hand breads their Seafood. This means you can order yours GRILLED! My favorites are grilled catfish and scallops with lemon pepper. Their coleslaw is delicious so I get double and skip the fries. We frequently go to the Central Coast and even there Ale's Seafood in Ridgecrest is often better! The decor is super fun and reggae music is a beach lover's choice. The servers are great here, so friendly and careful to get it your way. Ridgecrest, treat yourself more often at Ale's Crab House and your body will thank you!

    We ate here and at Ale's steakhouse across town and they are very similar to me in terms of value,…read morethough they do differ. First, the good. It's nice that there is a restaurant in town with fresh fish. Our server was awesome. We were going to a tiki themed place (which you should 100% try to find if you are in town) afterwards and the server shared some cool info about it when we mentioned it. I ordered fish and chips, against my better judgement, and it was just OK. I'm a fan of beer batter that builds up more than a thin crust on the fish, and this wasn't that. On top of that, the cod was a little over cooked (a bit of a theme for the other Ale's as well). That said, the flavor profile was good and their tartar sauce was on point. I had the option for seasoned fries or steak fries and opted for the steak fries to save some sodium intake. I'd probably shorten my life slightly and get the seasoned fries next time. My wife had a salad that was very similar to the other Ale's -- lots of iceberg lettuce and overcooked chicken. We also had the clam chowder, which had a good consistency but was just a touch fishy. I still enjoyed it, though. They have a pretty good selection of beer and other drinks, as well. The decor is informal and overall I liked the place. Between the two Ale's I'd probably give a slight nod to the original, but they are very similar restaurants other than the focus on seafood here.
