I've driven past this place, and stopped at the Panadería a few times, but I've never eaten from the taco truck. Boy, , if I would've only known what I was missing. Patience is needed. The day I was there one lady was working both the store and the taco truck. It took a few minutes for her to come out. I ordered two tacos, a Carnitas, and a lengua. (Tongue). There was a small upcharge for the Lengua. For "street tacos", they were huge! Both the Carnitas and the lengua had very decent portions, and they were both tender and delicious. The tacos also came with a pico de gallo that was delicious, and was not very spicy. You can also get spicy hot sauce on it if you want instead of the pico. It was about eight bucks out the door. When I first paid, I thought that was a bit expensive. But then when I saw what I was getting? It was well worth it. I will be back. Thank you. read more

my experience is far from previous yelpers. Food underwhelming ordered asada super burrito and boy was it nothing but a bean and rice burrito with 4 lil pieces of meat, no sour cream no guac. My husband ordered Al pastor tacos and WTH it had hardly any meat and was filled with beans and rice. UMmm this was around 12 no other customers so didn't really understand why the meat was lacking in our food. Service is sketchy the pricing seemed overinflated and we never received a receipt. 40 dollars for a burrito and 2 tacos. We were better off eating at chipotle. Go with it first thought and just pass. The bakery smells great when you walk inside but the pan dulce is hard and dry. I really wanted to love this place sadly left confused. read more

Always consistent when it comes to street tacos, but at almost 3 bucks a pop it should be a little better, the chips and salsa were something new so I gave it a try and they are a let down when it comes to salsa flavor, still recommend read more

The food is delicious and authentic. The chef is so nice and friendly. Hands down my favorite torta in Humboldt. The beans are so flavorful and creamy too. read more

This place used to be one of my favs in eureka. I haven't been for over a year and I would normally order a torta cuz the bread seemed fresh. I was craving some Mexican food and decided to come here instead of Taco Bell. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla and a traditional al pastor taco. The carne asada was so salty, I had a difficult time eating it. The al pastor was a bit gritty, not very tasty, but slightly better than the carne asada. The red salsa was watery and bland. Very little flavor over all. Really disappointed this time around, doubt I'll be back especially considering the upset stomach I had the rest of the day. My own recipes I learned from in-laws in SoCal are much better. read more

I got a "super" burrito today for $15- it was around 75-80% rice . The other ingredients were very tasty , so was the rice . There was just WAY too much rice. Used to be my favorite food truck . Going to go elsewhere next time . read more

Carnitas!!! Tacos were amazing! The chicken super burrito was large and delicious! I'll definitely be back when I am going through town again! read more

Cool little spot. We were up late and just wanted something quick and tasty. The food hit the spot. The beans were so creamy and the food was authentic. Definitely try them out. Also check out the bakery next door. read more

Tacos El Pueblo - a food truck at night - Food Trucks Near Me - Eureka, California

This spot is a legit mexican food truck staple, with a panaderia right next to it so you cant go wrong. Coming from SoCal where theres tacos spots on every corner, this spot has left an impression. This has now become a pit stop whenever we are in the area. Thank you to the food gods for keeping this truck open til the stated closing time. (We were in the neighboring town and the time we wasted looking for open food trucks, we could have been eating here) Anyways this review is dedicated to the Torta, you artisnally crafted sandwich I will be dreaming about you til I get back. The bread is like no other. Tis flaky yet soft yet maintains all the contents inside. read more

Awesome taco truck and well worth the stop. We got a super burrito (which was about the size of my arm) and two tacos. Both were delicious and more than enough food at a great price! read more

It was sooooo good!!! Don't go anywhere else. Of your craving authentic Mexican tacos! Huge servings also and great price!! Will return read more

Tacos El Pueblo - Street tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Eureka, California

This is ok and reasonably priced. I suppose I should have been weary of the price vs quality... good food for the price, location, fast service, and convenience. El pastor was the better compared to the Carne asada. The Carne asada flavor was OK, but the quality of the meat I didn't care for. It had more cartilagenous texture and trimmings. Basic beans and rice. The Pico de gallo was fresh and tasty though. Probably won't come back, but happy we tried it. read more

Great service & huge portions of authentic Mexican food. Only negative would be the wait time, but they're always busy because the food is so good!! (Super yummy menudo on the weekends - my favorite hangover cure lol) read more

Unfortunately, I haven't had the best experiences with Mexican food in Eureka (salsa served in syrup containers?), but Tacos El Pueblo makes excellent tacos with fresh ingredients and excellent salsa. I can't wait to try their burritos as well. Don't forget to check out the panaderia for some tamales and conchas while you're there! read more

I like the food, however they always charge extra for salsa and NEVER fill it all the way up, it's always half or even a little less then half. Super annoying! read more

Tacos El Pueblo - a plastic container with a sauce in it - Food Trucks Near Me - Eureka, California

Bomb. The struggle is real in NorCal to find any decent salsa roja made from chile de arbol (red hot sauce). Having grown up in San Diego I pretty much have to wait until I down to the homeland to get any. And I always fill up a small bottle from a Roberto's or wherever just to get some because you can't even buy it in stores. I've been here almost 10 years and am constantly disappointed by most of the mexican food, and don't even get my hopes up for proper red hot sauce. THIS TRUCK HAS IT!!! This past 4th of July we got some veggie burritos from this truck and they were fatties and delish. The red sauce was awesome. So stoked. New Humboldt fave. read more

We were driving through Eureka on the 101 and found this truly amazing taco truck located on the corner of Washington St. and the 101. We had Al Pastor, asada and tripas tacos. WOW!!! Fantastic. While we waited for our order, we went inside the humble Panaderia next to the taco truck and got tamales de elote (sweet corn tamales) and conchas (sweet bread). We highly recommend folks to stop by and trys this place. If they are not at that location, call and ask where they are located, it is totally worth it. Happy Taco Tasting! read more

Food was ok. I was hoping for more flavorful tacos and burritos. The burrito was dry and the tacos were soggy. Was disappointed in the flavor. read more

This is a little hidden gem! The meat is well seasoned, giving it a unique taste. The employees are really nice too!

Yes...THIS is the best taqueria around... I still get tacos other places cause I like variety but can't drive by here without stopping for the best! read more

Best al pastor I've had in Humboldt yet. Their chicken could be better though. Tacos are delicious and burritos are big. They also have some cool fruit and corn . Fast and good customer service. Hopefully they stick around. Its Humboldt so five stars for doing it right. read more

Tacos El Pueblo - super tacos with carne asada...so good! - Food Trucks Near Me - Eureka, California

Was in the area on Memorial Day looking for some easy cheap food, something filling. I saw there were several taco spots in town, but 4 or 5 didn't even exist!! The other one was just closed that day. I stumbled here on accident and it was the most satisfying burrito I've had. I ordered an al pastor burrito. Came with rice, beans and cheese on the inside. All I needed in there. I asked for the rest on the side which was guac, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Basically a sauce version of a Mexican flag. Which means it's good. Was $6 or $8 for the burrito. Either way, it was amazing.. go here read more

The guacamole is watered down with pico so it's not good (it's not even green...) and doesn't even taste like guacamole. The cheese in my quesadilla wasn't melted, the burrito was mostly filler and the jamaica was overly sweet and didn't taste fresh. I've been to this truck before and the food was decent, but today was not good. read more

Best. Mexican. Food truck truck in Humboldt hands down nowhere more fresh than this place . Real authentic taste and awesome service.

Best Taco truck in Eureka hands down. Family owned. They have everything fresh, and I love that they have habanero salsa for when I want extra spice. I usually get al pastor, and a jamica agua fresca. read more

Ok, I'll gladly write the first review for this delicious little nugget of taco heaven. When I go to places like Tacos El Pueblo I always get the tacos, never the burrito so I'll let you judge their burrito making abilities. I tried the carne asada and it was perfectly seasoned with delicious salsa roja and traditional cilantro and cebolla with sliced radishes on the side. Excellent flavor and very tender beef. I tried the lengua, and while not seasoned much it was very tender and cooked perfectly. The salsa roja and a generous squeeze of lime definitely helped out, but I get lengua mostly for it's beefy-ness and smooth texture, and if a taco truck can make great lengua you know everything else is going to be good! All in all, 5 stars for my first visit. I'm coming back on Sunday to try the carnitas! I recommend you give them a try. read more

Excellent tacos. I tried the lengua, and the pastor, both were delicious. The tortillas were extra good. They also had mango frescas. I'm excited to go back for more. read more

Tacos El Pueblo - Pastor and Lengua tacos! - Food Trucks Near Me - Eureka, California

Carne asada tacos are killer!! and the hot sauce is on fireeeee! Definitely recommend. We hail fro San Diego and this place is now at the top of our list. We thought ritas and raliobertos was good butttt this place has just the right seasonings and flavors to meat and topping ratio. I suggest sour cream on the side, as it was a little bit too much for my taste but it was really tasty so def get it instead of opting out all together! read more

The quality of the food is not the greatest. The chicken and radishes looked 3 days old and dried out. Freshness did not seem to be a priority. The burrito was ok. read more

This taco truck is the bomb! Carne asada tacos are hot and flavorful. Hot sauce on the side will keep your tongue burning, but it's so yummy you'll keep dipping. We will be back! read more

Had a asada burrito and it was HUGE and delicious!! The beans and rice were super flavorful and the carne was perfect. Boyfriend liked his carne quesadilla as well. Yum! read more

This place is outstanding!! The torta's are so incredibly delicious. The meat here is moist and flavorful, not like most places that give you over cooked, dried meat. I'm happy to drive from Mk to Eureka just for one of their tortas!! And the corn and fruit cups take me back to sunny days in Rosario!! read more

Ok....in the heart of Humboldt county is the meca of Eureka. On my latest trip there I decided to hit up taco trucks.. Started w/ speedy taco... absolutely epic..! ( See my rambling review) Then I ran across this wagon.. I asked 3 people in line "" is this food any good"" two replied " never been" other said "" mexicans at work said this is the best".. Well hell I better get this in my vains.. So to keep my reviews on the same plan. I better order the same...so it's a El pastor burrito. The hot little chica taking money was about clueless. That should have been first clue. ..get my burrito..( it's big) Jump in my junker and head South. Toward home, crack open a soda, unwrap this large tinfoil log with my lips smackin I bit into this Mammoth mexican log and Holly shit..!!! It's the dryest god damn burrito I've ever shoved in my pie hole.. Ok....maybe I just hit a bump in the road and I better try it again. Wash out my mouth w/a chug of soda and ready for second try. And BAM..drive Another bit in the pie hole... I pull back...look in the horse blanket holding rice and some sort of maybe meat... Next thing....window comes down..and my mexican log explored on the 101 ..Rice and beans at 80 mph...it was epic. Had to pull over and lick my dogs ass to get the taste out of my mouth..!;-(~ Soooo.....jump in if u dare..but hit up Speedy Taco.. Peace..... read more

We were new to town and we're making a Target run but had to get some dinner first. Drove by this and decided to stop. Coming from Southern California we happily went with the taco truck in hopes it would be delicious and inexpensive. Score on both. We got two carne Asada tacos that my three year old ate happily but said was a bit spicy and made his mouth hot but he ate most of both. I had a classic grilled chicken burrito which was delicious and my husband had the carne asada super burrito. The portion sizes were generous and everything was under $25. We will definitely come again! read more

I finally just had a couple of tacos from this truck and now I cant stop thinking about them. Al pastor y carne asada, que rico!! I seriously cant wait to go back and try all the other meats. Little street tacos just like I grew up eating. I am a huge fan of Speedys and La Barca... Humboldt is getting some great Mexican eats and Tacos El Pueblo is up there with the best in my opinion. Its worth $5 to check it out and dont forget, the heavenly bakery is 30 feet away... read more

These tacos are some of the best in the area. I especially enjoyed the Carne Asada tacos. You can really tell that they used some quality steak for their dishes. read more

Best tacos I've had in Humboldt. When you see tongue on the menu, you know it will be a good taco!

Food was good. Open on Sunday got us there. Seemed pricey for a truck, but tacos were large. Had the carnitas (Sunday only) and it was tender and tasty. read more

This place has the best pollo asado in town. The service is quick, the super burrito is really big, and the prices are comparable to other local taquerias. Carnitas is only available on Sundays, and it's so good! read more
