Phone ordered my carne asada fries said it'll be 20 mins took more like 30 mins. I used to love this place for there asada fries because I love that they use my favorite el Mexicano nacho cheese with shredded cheese unfortunately my fries were super soggy wish they would make the fries more crispy. Flavor of the asada was still delicious. The address they have for the truck is wrong. Thank goodness I called to see if they were located at the right place. They are located at ham lane and kettleman in the chevron parking lot. I do enjoy that they accept cards. Price for 2 carne asada fries was $21.60 read more

Been wanting to give this truck a try for a while and finally got the chance. Ordered a mix of pastor and Asada tacos. Overall I found them bland, but the Asada was a decent 3/5. The pastor is the reason for my 1 star rating. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it was obvious to me that this meat was at least a couple days old. It was stale and completely dried out. I don't like wasting food- I'll usually eat whatever I buy, but this is the first time I actually threw away TACOS! That's a big deal to me. With so many other options for tacos in town- why take a chance on a truck that serves you meat that wasn't even cooked the same day. No thanks. read more

Was telling my wife how good this place was I was excited to have her try it, so I go back tonight and they took a call in order ahead of my order, and made their entire order before starting mine, so even though I'm the only person waiting it took 30 minutes to get my 2 item order. Then I get my order and it's all wrong they put sour cream and cheese in my regular burrito which I hate, all the food is extremely cold and it's they didn't add any sauce I asked for. I'm hoping it's a one time thing but we'll see. This is the truck located at the chevron on Kettleman and Ham. read more

I absolutely love this taco truck! My husband and I came here for the first time yesterday, after taking a long brake from food trucks. Our last usual taco truck changed their recipe, and basically went downhill from there. We were unsure where to go, and I had seen good reviews from this truck. We didn't want anything way too spicy, and most of the other trucks we've been to have too much spicy red sauce. This one has the perfect amount of spice, it's more medium. The tortas are amazing, and if you're vegetarian you can ask for anything with veggies instead of meat. Their beans are whole beans, so you know you can trust it to not have lard (obviou Everything is super amazing, and we had to come back for more after only a day! This is definitely our new favorite spot :) Update: I don't know why this location is being read as closed. They moved to a new location, on Stockton St, closer to Kettleman. read more

I've been going here almost a year. I can say for me. THE BEST TRUCK in Lodi. I'm always saying I want one thing, then get there and its nachos or burritos. Or a combination of tacos. Customer service is ALWAYS welcoming and cheerful. They started out on Hutchins when I first started going. They're now consistently on Stockton st. I've tried what has been called the best.
