Located at the same gravel spot as Titas Pupusas. A orange yellow truck behind them is Tacos El Paraíso. We initially stopped over here for a quick McDonalds bathrooms break and saw a lot of taco trucks along the road. We've never been here before but the food was excellent for a taco truck! Super fresh, super flavorful with the right amount of Mexican spices done right! Not shown was the devoured especial 3 taco Plato and tacos dorados de papas! Highly recommend to try this place out if you're ever stopping off this way!!! Service was extremely quick and friendly. Ambiance of the place with clean tables with cute flower settings to keep it looking fresh. They have a pumping sink to wash your hands or they offer hand sanitizer at the truck when you're ordering your food. They take all major credit cards and zelle or cash! My husband has the Super Burrito de Carne Asada and devoured it within 6 minutes he's Mexican so he would know what tastes good! The fresh salsa was perfectly seasoned and medium spicy! Yummy! Definitely need to keep this one on my tabs if we ever go back this way! read more

We are superfans of Tita's (the long standing Pupusa truck off I-5 that occupied the same spot of gravel as Tacos el Paraíso) so when it was closed yesterday, we tried Tacos el Paraíso instead, thinking they'd be comparable. Don't be fooled into thinking this too! We waited 40 mins for tiny pupusas (and they got our order wrong). The food itself was fine, but not at all worth the wait, and *nothing* like the heavenly food that Tita's usually provides. Two thumbs way down, next time if Tita's is closed we are going to get back on the road to head up to that Mexican place in the plaza at the Paso Robles exit. read more

Tacos El Paraiso - a food truck parked in a parking lot - Food Trucks Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

You can find this place off highway 5. We stopped here on the way to LA from the bay area. The food truck is surrounded by many other food truck options around the area and gas stations. Although a food truck, it has tables under a tent for people to enjoy their food. There are wash stations for your hands and trash cans for you to throw away your food. We got the carnitas, asada, and tripa. The tacos are $2 per taco and small compared to the ones I'm normally used to. The size didn't bother me since the small tacos were well balanced out from the tortilla and meat. I actually prefer it at this smaller size. The carnitas had a fresh and deep taste of pork. While the tripa was crispy and had a deep organ taste. Both the carnitas and tripa were delicious. The asada was nothing special. They provided a salsa that was also lack luster and didn't provide any enhancement to the taco experience. We would come here again for the tacos. Highly recommend for a quick snack if you're traveling. read more

Tacos El Paraiso - Tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

This truck definitely caught me by surprise. A few trucks parked along this road and were glad to have stumbled over to this one. Stopped for a late lunch here and I could definitely say it was a good one. Salsa comes in a squirt bottle which is a plus they are a good price. Highly recommend them if you come across their truck! read more

Came here on our trip back to San Francisco. This rest area has a lot of food options but I was looking for something other than fast food. Saw this food truck w tables, shade, and patrons. Why not! I ordered 4 tacos and they're solid. Tender, flavorful meat. Soft tortilla. Hot sauce provided. Exactly what ur looking for when you're in the mood for a taco truck lunch. Recommend! read more

Stopped here for breakfast burritos. Mine: chorizo. Husband's: ham. They were stellar -- took a bit for our order but that's because these were absolutely made to order. Definitely stop here if you're driving I5 and avoid the chain food monotony. read more

Food was decent but got my order wrong and still tried to charge me for there mistake. Other family member ordered super burrito and they got a super one as well as lady was in horrible mood read more

So we were driving through the I-5 and I knew we were going to start getting hungry pretty soon. So barely passing up the grapevine I turn to yelp and start looking up to see what they have in Buttonwillow, I told my sister hey if all else fails I've always seen an Indian place there lol, we like curry. So we did find this taco truck El Paraiso right off the Buttonwillow exit, across from the gas station. On the first stop, that's right the first stop we got some carne asada tacos you know those are a must. I got two carnitas tacos, I saw a picture of their chicharron with the cueritos and well it's been awhile so I had to get one. We also got an elote minus the butter. Everything was very good, which explains the second trip lol. The tortillas they give it a little crisp to it, not too much where you can't fold them but enough that you can barely taste it. They give you red and green salsa on the side so you can put as little or as much as you want. Elote was good, not grilled but still good boiled and made the way street vendors make it nice and hot! On our way back home we decided to make another stop. Of course got more tacos, I tried two of the birria so my sister could try one since she can't eat pork, not bad. She ordered a pupusa de beans and queso while I ordered a sope with chicken. These are made fresh so they do take a little longer to make, we were told at the window while ordering and we said no problem. The pupusa was piping hot and very good the curtido that came with was also good. So we ended up taking some chicken and asada tacos for the road trip home, let me just say the chicken didn't make it to the car lol. We decided we will be making frequent stops here on our many trips up North from now on lol. read more

Great food, great service, good atmosphere. If I lived close to this truck i'd come here more often.

Wow! It was amazing! Had tacos de Asado, elote preparado, pupusa, hot Cheetos with cheese, and tostada. My goodness, it was good. And the lady is friendly and food came out timely even with other orders. So tasty! Definitely worth a stop if you're traveling. Also, 4 tables seated outside with cover and music. read more

Our food didn't seem to take too long compared to the other couple that was there waiting. My husband and I got Carne Asada Tacos, rice and beans. The beans were cold, the rice was ok seemed to be missing flavor and the asada was dry like it was a few days old. We couldn't add enough salsa to it. Regret not going to the one next to it. read more

I'm so sorry to have to write a poor review. I've never been to a taco truck that was a big disappointment like this one. The chicken had an old, dry taste, it also looked as if it was half ground chicken and some chopped up chicken breast. They squirted mayonnaise all over the top of my tostados. Who puts Mayonnaise on a tostada? That just topped off the grossness of it all. Won't be back for sure. Just hoping I won't get sick here. read more

Pupusas were really good, 5 stars. We had chicharon and pork with cheese and both were delicious. Corn tamales and all the tacos we ordered (Pastor, Asada and Birria) were so so. Giving it less stars due to our order getting mixed up with someone's order so we waited for 30 mins to get ours enduring the 102 degree temp! They also gave my elote to the other person and just refunded me. No salsa on the go at all. In my opinion, only go for pupusas. read more

ceviche tostado was good and fresh. tiny amounts of fish tho the fish taco was delicious it takes awhile. I think she's making it fresh while you wait. maybe 10 minutes and i was only customer two trucks are here and they both are good read more

I had their super burrito with chicken, it had a lot of beans in it and wasn't very flavorful. The burrito tasted dry and there was chicken cartilage in it. read more

Parked just behind Tita's Pupuseria Truck, this truck offers lower prices (eg., $3/pupusa instead of $4) - and advertises everything (from food to coffee) as "fresco y recién hecho" (fresh and recently made) - so be prepared to wait for some things as they will often be prepared especially for you . You can eat there under at a table covered with a tarp for shade or get your order to go (and enjoy your later later). read more

Tacos El Paraiso - Food Trucks Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

On a whim, passing through, I stopped at this place just to try it out. I need lunch and had other places in mind, but I saw the truck and screw it I'll try it out. Immediately noticed that this place was Hispanic culture, but those places generally have the best tacos. I had gotten three tacos, 1 carnitas, 1 Al Pastor and 1 chicken all with cilantro and onions, lemon and hot sauce on the side. Classic street tacos! The tacos were damn good. I did have one slight drawback about the atmosphere. The person at the front would be calling everything out in her native tongue, and people were getting their orders as anyone normally would. Then my order came and instantly switched to a very 'american' accent and called my order out in English. Everyone got unusually quite as I awkwardly stood up from my seat and got my food and walked back to my seat. I think one way to easily mitigate the awkwardness for those who aren't locals, is assigning number to the orders and calling out both in Spanish and english. Just a simple suggestion from a complete stranger just passing through. Definitely great food, and would recommend read more

Our group ordered almost every type of tacos they had. Have to say no complaints all tacos where good. Only reason I'm not giving 5 is the corn tamal was dry and super hard. Other than that food was really good and price was amazing. read more

Excellent breakfast burrito (no pics b/c it was too good for me to stop eating and photograph it), good shade, friendly staff tolerant of my attempts to practice my Spanish and of my inability on crutches to carry my food from the truck to the table. Note: if you're used to NoCal Mission-style burritos the breakfast burrito may seem small, but I appreciated that it was small enough to eat one-handed and probably only about 600 calories, instead of enough food for three days when I'm on the road and don't have a fridge to put leftovers in. read more

Every time I drive on I-5 I ALWAYS stop at tacos el Paraiso. The people who run the truck are great and they cook up some delicious tacos and burritos. Everything I've had on the menu is great. The salsa they serve with the food are fantastic as well. read more

Super friendly people. Food seems authentic and home made. I enjoyed the Durito Preparado, esquite, pozole, and carnitas burrito. I was hoping to more fried carnitas but it was still good. Hot sauce for pozole was amazing, chips were standard and good. Overall a great pit stop when on the road. Its walkable from the tesla supercharger as well. read more

The most kind and genuine people! I love to support a business that I know works hard and treats their customers right. It's worth the 15 mile drive from my house because I'm never disappointed with the food. I tell all my friends to go there if they get the chance because they really take care of you and the food is authentic! Even during these tough times they're still looking out for their customer's best interest and taking precautions to be safe. Support small businesses :) read more
