Tacos El Rufles - Food Trucks Near Me

It's been 18 years since I have been able to fine anyone that makes a Gordita. And I don't mean an arepa, even though they seem very similar. But a good, authentic Mexican Gordita. Today, in a last min rush to find something to eat in between running errands, we found this lil truck in a random spot off Saratoga. As soon as we looked at the menu, it caught my eye, I even gasped (dramatic right) and grabbed my wife's arm and yelled it "they do GORDITAS!" Amazing! Great flavor, made to order and anyway you want. The green salsa added soooo much flavor I went all Catholic and crossed myself! If you are in the area, or not too far away ... DO IT! If you're with someone and one of you want's a burger and one wants Mexican food, they also have a burger plate with fries. Two birds one Stop! And DO NOT forget to try their aquas Fresca, we had the pepino con limon, best I have had. With one man doing it all, we only waited 8 mins. And he was patient with my broken spanish pick @ss! read more

The food truck is conveniently in the gas station on the corner. There's quite a bit of options from burritos, tacos, and much more. The food is alright and pretty authentic in terms of Mexican food. The food truck is open and convenient for hours. read more

Fantastic food truck. All their tacos are exceptional but my daughter and I love their tripe especially

The night before our trip, Gavin and I wanted Mexican so we stopped by on our way home. This truck is at the corner of Foxworthy and Almaden Expwy. I've been noticing that truck since last November, but never tried it until last month (in May). The good: + accepts cards + friendly service + the lengua + the prepared salsa in tiny ziplocked bags The not-so-good: - taste - portion - meat to carb ratio - the torta We ordered the chicken burrito, lengua tacos, and chicken torta. Based on the way the torta was wrapped, I was anticipating a big meal, but what it really was, was a large roll. The chicken was scarce. The lengua tacos were good.. the lengua was soft and tender, but a tad under-seasoned. I tried Gavin's burrito and it was dry. It was the same chicken used/cooked as the torta. Glad I tried, but definitely something we did not enjoy. So sorry. read more

One of the BEST tacos in the Bay by far. The food quality here is insane and the portions are amazing. Everything here is a great price and the food tastes superb. I usually opt into beef head and beef tongue which are 2 of the many meats they have here. The sauces they have are fantastic also. Green sauce gives a nice kick and the red sauce is pretty spicy. I've never been disappointed by the tacos here, they're always packed with flavor and super cheap. The burritos are also top tier. There's a load of stuff in them and it's just so much better than Chipotle. This taco truck is serving some really great food and it's never a disappointment eating here. Superb experience, any other reviewer saying else wise is capping read more

Tacos El Rufles - Yum - Food Trucks Near Me

Service: lady was nice. Food: $9 Flautas comes with 4 when you order. This was very mediocre it almost tasted like frozen flautas from Costco. $10 chicken burrito was very bland and tiny for the price. $3 rice/beans definitely not good quality. The rice was VERY soggy and it just tasted like plain rice with no seasoning. Would not come here again... read more

This place is overrated. The portion is big but not worth the price. $6 for sopes is way too much. And the taste is not that good. Just because the line is long doesn't always mean the its good. read more

The food was extremely fresh and well made also delicious. The orange salsa was the best! I came after they closed I think but they still took my order and were super nice! read more

I stopped by here after working a late shift, and I always saw lines, so why wouldn't I give it a try! I ordered a regular Carne Asada burrito and 2 tacos Al Pastor. I started with my 2 tacos, and they were popping with flavor. I liked the fact that the meat had fatty pieces attached, which equals flavor. Not to mention, my tacos came with pineapple just how al Pastor should be served! Their salsas are a perfect complement to the food, albeit the food can stand on it's own. Of course, I needed a Tangerine Jaritos to wash it all down...I lied I actually got 2! I'll be back for any future hankering I might have! read more

This is a food truck near Shell gas station. Since it's Mexican, they can highly customize it according to your diet. It was my first time and I didn't want to take a huge order so I just ordered 2 veggie tacos. It basically had cheese, beans and lettuce with a lot of cilantro and jalapeño. They also gave some hot sauce on side but it wasn't quite good. The taco itself was very well wrapped to go and quick to make. Surely will try something new next time here. Also this place is super cheap! $2.5/taco! Follow @theVeggieConsultant on Instagram for more such reviews and pics. read more

Tacos El Rufles - a menu for a mexican restaurant - Food Trucks Near Me

I've always been curious of this place. I get gas often and never ate here. I saw and read the reviews so I decided heck, why not. It was Sunday afternoon and there was no line. I got a couple tacos, a melon drink, quesadilla and a burrito. Started with the tacos which were okay, but it just went downhill from there. The meat was fatty and they filled the burrito with mostly rice. Probably won't be back but it was worth a go. read more

Total came out to 29 dollars, I got 4 tacos and one Chavindeca, and a coke, board said tacos were 3 dollars but she charged me 18 for 4 so we asked her for a receipt but the said the machine didn't work but we saw another gentleman get his receipt so we asked her how much was everything she said 18 for the tacos 4 for the coke and 8 for the chavindeca I added it all up and it came out to 30 dollars so she definitely thought she could take advantage of me so I asked her why was it 4.5 a taco she said it's because of the type of meat but the gentleman before me also ordered 6 lengua tacos and it came out to 18 dollars and he handed her a 20 so she definitely was thinking she could take advantage of me read more

I love street tacos and those greasy chicken tacos at Tacos El Rufles are one of the best. Double tortilla with tons of tender, flavorful meat and generous helping of cilantro and grilled onions. But honestly, tacos don't taste as great without the spicy sauces. Do try their red and green sauces for an added punch. They do serve Carne Asada, El Pastor but I haven't tried those. Also their Sopes - kind of like an open English muffin with cheese and chicken is superb. Highly recommended. At $2.75 per taco, it's a steal. Must try if you are in the locality. read more

These tacos came out piping hot. I realized the plate was actually quite greasy...possibly from grilling the tortillas in some wonderful grease before topping them. The second thing I noticed was that the onions on these tacos were GRILLED. I almost picked them off at first because I thought they were the pickled ones and I just wanted the fresh onions like a normal street taco...and then I realized they were the same boy onions in the plate and they were hot! I squeezed my lime on the tacos proceeded to consume them in all their glory. I have to say - the cabeza tacos was one of the best I've had in some time. The meat was flavorful and just melted in my mouth. The al pastor taco was also good, though the meat was a tad dry. (The past handful of places have had dry pastor...sigh...so sad.) ALSO THOSE ONIONS - I doubted them but they were really good, grilled!! Not sure that I'd always want them like that, but I was happy for this surprise. Overall, though. The tacos were great. Very much on the oily/greasy side, but I'd definitely get these again! read more

Tacos El Rufles - Dos tacos - pastor y cabeza - Food Trucks Near Me

Great burritos which are huuuge. Tacos are tasty too, street style. Those I'd say are a bit on the pricey side but they're good. read more

Currently located at the 76 Gas Station on Almaden and Foxworthy (3010 Almaden Expy, San Jose, CA 95118) They seem to be closed on Sundays, and I have not seen the truck move from the 76 in a while. We've only had the tacos, but enjoyed the lengua, cabeza, tripas, and carnitas very much. I'm generally not a fan of carne asada, but theirs was good. They give you two tortillas and a lot of meat for each taco, so we like to build two smaller tacos and share. Their sauce is good - the red one is better than the green in my opinion. If ordering to-go I'd suggest getting the sauce on the side. Overall a very good taco for $2.75 read more

Have tried this taco truck many many times at Foxworthy-Almaden Expwy location. -Frequent orders: lengua and cabeza taco -Sometimes I order tripas, el pastor, asada, and carnitas taco (Basically I just list 90% of their tacos menu lol) Anyway, the lengua and tripas are absolutely consistent with good quality and flavor. I wish I can say the same to cabeza, el pastor, and carnitas one. Sometimes, they are a bit dried, and sometimes they are perfect. However, with $2.5/ taco, you get good value. They are stuffed with lot of meat in double tortilla which I like (extra "cushion" for my taco lol ). Even though they don't have the "veggies bar" on the side for you to get your own, this spot is still legit! Highly recommend it! read more

Tacos El Rufles - Taco truck on corner of Almaden and Foxworthy - Food Trucks Near Me

Tacos El Rufles is located at the Shell gas station at the intersection of Doyle and Saratoga. I usually get gas at this Shell and I always saw this truck. I never stopped by because I just wasn't sure. I decided to let a few Yelp reviews be written first. Well, after most of the first few reviews were fairly positive, I decided to pop in. In the area, I think the most popular taco truck is the one(s) at the other Shell near the freeway on Saratoga. This truck is a little smaller and a lot less busy. However, don't let that deter you. I think the tacos are just as good. They taste super fresh and pretty darn delicious. They are a little skimpy on the condiments though, including the onions and radishes. The limes, they only gave me 1 slice for a plate of 4 tacos. Because it was a to-go order, I didn't notice until I got home. Also, the hot sauce, they only gave me a small container of the green and 1 of the red for an order of 6 tacos total. No salsa/hot sauce bar like other trucks. Speaking of tacos, we went with 4 asada and 2 pastor. Both were excellent. As I mentioned, it was very similar to the ones down the street, if not a tad better. They had a good amount of meat and my favorite part, cilantro! They have a big communal table, if you decide to eat there. Many people do, but parking might be tricky, because there isn't much, unless you double park. I'd recommend your order to go. Definitely a place I would go to again. If I go order first, then pump my gas, my order will be ready right when my 91 octane is done (stupid BMW). read more

Mindblown by the quality and the taste. Best food I've had in a while I ordered 4 tacos and a quesadilla. They had a lot of meat and was definitely worth the price. read more

The ladies who work here are super nice and quick but the tacos at least are nothing more than mediocre... I'll be back to try the burritos. The green sauce was good and the orange sauce is super spicy - so spicy it made me dizzy and I love spicy. Just be warned!!! read more

Tacos El Rufles - Carne asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me

I love the heat in their salsas and the owner was kind enough to return some cash after I placed a very large order and later wanted to cancel some items read more

I work close by to this place and it comes in clutch during my 12 hour days, especially if I haven't meal prepped. I went yesterday and got tacos. Asada and lengua. Both were good. Sauce was spicy, which I love. My only complaint was the quesadilla I had today... all meat, no cheese. Like Mac Dre likes his nachos cheesy, I like my quesadilla cheesy as well and this didn't cut it for me. Overall, this place is good & I'll be back. read more

Mind blowing asada, so juicy and flavorful NO GRISTLE! The pastor was also super flavorful. Salsas we're on point, good cilantro-onion-meat ratio. So glad I made a frantic turn into this parking lot and found this taco haven! read more

I like the Red Hot sauce that's a plus, but i think it could be a bit more spicer I'm giving this place a 3 Star. I'm from SoCal. So, I'm used to really, really good taco trucks or mexican food in general. My order was 1 carne asada, 1 al pastor, and 1 chicharron taco. They were all mediocore nothing special or wow'd me. I won't order the Chicharron again by the time we got home it was soggy or was it supposed to be soggy? Iono beats me. I'll probably be back to give this place another chances and to try their other items. So, stay tune. read more

Thr super chicken burrito was no bueno in my opinion. When I order a super burrito I would've expected avocado and tomatoes and maybe some garnish like cilantro. But they didn't have any of that. I think their version of super means just a bigger burrito. So that'll be the last time I order that. However if you go by the recommendation I got from the guy in the truck the last time I was there, which was the gordita, then you will not be disappointed. The pastor gordita is awesome! It kicks ass over taco Bell. And you will wonder what the hell Taco Bell was thinking when they released their gordita. I think their ala carte soft tacos are pretty good too, but I didn't order any this time. And I don't remember too clearly since I was only here one other time. 2020-08-12: Updated review from 4 to 3 stars. The first time I stopped by he recommended the gorditas and they were absolutely delicious. Nothing like the ones at Taco Bell. The outside is a plump cornmeal-based wrapper that they deep fry and then add your choice of meat to. I chose the pastor the first time which is generally pretty reliable. They fill it with cotilla cheese some lettuce and maybe some garnish like chopped onions. Oh my goodness... totally superb. But the most recent time I went I showed up early , say 10:30AM and ordered the chicken version. I don't think they were completely set up for the day yet. And the chicken was no bueno like in the super burrito mentioned ablve; it was chopped to death and tasted mealy. The wrapper was stale tasting like they just warmed it up on the grill instead of deep frying it. The cheese was different and had coagulated like an old pizza by the time I got home. And the lettuce and garnish were lacking. A little disappointed this time. But will probably go back again and remember to order the pastor next time, and give them a chance to open up everything before I stop by. read more

I'm actually surprised by all the good reviews. Must be family members and Friends reviews. I pulled up to the taco truck on Winchester Blvd San Jose, not a "hello how are you," or any acknowledgement, just a lousy " what do you want." As I was deciding what to order the Latina in the taco truck taking my order sighed like she wanted me to hurry up and order. I said please 3 tacos, she had a hard time understanding me and kept telling "HUH" really loudly. Kept rolling her eyes and then when my food was finally made she got an attitude and said "HERE." Overall she just seemed annoyed that I even showed up to order. I don't understand why someone would be mad for doing their job. Nonetheless, her overall tone was unprofessional and the tacos were not great at all. I've been to many taco places and the tacos here were bad (very dry). I won't be back read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is the worst that I've ever been to. My mom ordered some tacos; and the lady behind the man who took her order was cleaning. She then started to use the same gloves she was cleaning with to cook. This is cross contamination I worked for food industries previously. When my mother saw she asked politely if she could change her gloves. The woman refused and asked my mother to cook her own tacos herself. I WAS ASTOUNDED. We demanded our money back and after haggling for 5 minutes for our money back we left, hungry, dissatisfied, and super pissed from the rudeness we experienced. Don't go here. read more

Isn't my favorite place to go, but it's definitely one of the better places in the West San Jose/Campbell Area. They often don't have all meat options and is a little pricey for what you get IMO read more

The customer service was awesome. Nice greeting and gave me lots of sauce. I got the chicken, carne asada, and al pastor tacos. All were great. I prefer pork so really loved the al pastor. Nice toppings and good amount of meat. The green sauce and red sauce are delicious. Tacos come with cilantro, onions, and radishes. Oh and a grilled pepper that's spicy. Also got the carnitas burrito. Awesome too. Good amount of meat. I can't wait to go and try the gorditas and tortas next. Sorry i don't have pix... next time read more

Best taco truck to stop at when you're on this side of town. Their tacos al pastor are my favorite. Sopes are good. Flautas are ok.

They are good food - but they raised their prices by 300% during Covid
