I've been coming here for over 15 years. I LOVE this place, I recommend everyone to come here. BUT the last 2 times I've been here, at least a month apart it's been awful! I don't know if they fired their cook or what but fire them now. The fries are always so overcooked and UNSALTED, no sour cream and the meat is thick and chewy. And the cheese isn't even melted!!! So disappointed! read more

Always good! I've been going to Tacos los Amigos for decades. Steak cheese fries are my favorite.

The food here is fire!!!! Steak fries and tacos are a must!!!!!!!!! I come here all the time and it's just perfect

Generous steak fries portion. Taste is consistently good. The service was speedy and professional. Definitely worth every bit of the $19 we paid for the steak fries and the extra fixing of cilantro. Still the best I've had until proven wrong. read more

I came here once before about a month ago and was pestering my friend about the name. She didn't know, but she knew the location and we ended up driving here last night. When I tell you I love this stuff I mean it! I've been on a personal hunt for the best steak and shrimp fries and this one is it so far. Not skimpy with the shrimp just how I like, extra for the avocado but it was an essential item. This is my favorite junk food. $15 per order of it. $2 extra for avocado. CASH ONLY. I was short by a dollar and mentioned a Juneteenth discount lol. It made her laugh and I got my avocado. It's all in good fun. read more

Whenever I can, I come to this place to eat the chicken dish, which is very good, but the bad thing is that whenever I try to order by phone, they never answer the phone. read more

This was amazing food. I ordered carne asada tacos, quesadilla, and mulsito (sp?) the food was delicious and fresh. The service was fantastic. The hot sauce was not too hot. read more

Best tacos in Oakland hands down this taco truck has been around forever it's a gem. I especially love the Carne asada fries and the Chicken wing combo is delicious too. I can't wait to back. The area is a little sketchy but the food does not disappoint I promise you. read more

55 steak cheese fries is an EAST OAKLAND staple. Grew up on these when it was down the block and now still come back to get my fix as an adult. Listen, everyone has different palates, but if you from these parts you'd appreciate some hood comfort food lol if you shop at Whole Foods and are picky about what you eat, just don't waste your time. This is for those who can appreciate a little greasy mess. read more

Best steak cheese fries I've ever had! Add shrimp if you feeling fancy. read more

This infamous taco truck lacks many reviews that it deserves maybe because the name of this truck isn't well known due to the the name written in small print. This meaty fries with tiger shrimp beats every steak fries place I've been too. They're open super late, great customer service, NEVER skimp out on the shrimp or meat and most importantly it's always made fresh!!! I'd make the commute if someone would come with me because I'd have to admit it's not the safest place to come at night especially if you're not from around the area. But overall I haven't experienced anything other than great satisfaction of great steak/shrimp fries. VERY AFFORDABLE TOO! read more

TACOS. The affordable food tier. These are the adages of the Yelp-Bard, Art -- surprised? My continued addiction: to absorb strange, new lards, to seek out new trucks, and al pastor marinations, to boldly YELP though many have Yelped before ----- TACO TREK! Captain's log... 3 S T A R S H I P S * AL PASTOR TACOS REALLY HIT THE SPOCK Good marinade, and moist bites. Quality tortillas, too. * POPULAR WITH THE CLING-ONS With so much taco truck competition, Los Amigos' throng of clingy customers (cling-ons) is a very good sign. STEAK FRIES are the popular item -- 3 customers in a row ordered them right after I did! :::: Steak Fries, $8 -- SURE-BET TO REGRET. 4 layers of fat started off stellar: sour cream, cheese, ground beef, and French fries. Half-finished, they started getting gross, and by the end my stomach felt like 'Gene Rottenberry' * "EVERYONE REMEMBER WHERE WE PARKED." There's a security guard watching the parking lot, so no need to activate your starship's cloaking device. 2 M I N U S E S - MOST TACOS DIDN'T BEAM ME UP A few DECENT tacos meats (carnitas, asada, chorizo), one fail (cabeza). But nothing aroused any eyes-rolling-into-the-back-of-my-head MEXTACY. - PHASERS SET TO STUN Because all kinds of folks are rolling through, it can feel a bit SKETCHY as you wait for your order to materialize. Beam in and beam out! read more

Carne Asada Fries?! In Oakland. We drove across the bridge just to try this taco truck out. We didn't think the fries would fill us up, so we ordered a steak burrito to share. This was the best burrito I've had! No sauce needed and the rice was not at all dry! It also came with pickled carrots and jalapeños! I was eating those with the fries. Yummy! On to the reason why we're here! The carne asade fries! The fries itself was still crispy! We brought our own orange sauce from La Vic's, but these fries did not need it. It was so good on its own!!! We are fans. Thank you for fresh food and yummy fries! read more

There's a grand opening sign on the corner. the food truck also has the name ;marisco manzanillo" on it menu consisted of cheeseburgers, jarrittos, burritos, tortas, and tacos. not much pricing available. sampling: "steak" burrito (6) -pretty good sized, had macho sour cream, chewy and gristly beef, pinto beans and rice. inside was just gooey creaminess. some garnish and light salsa given. -some beef also dried, overcooked. burrito 1.5 stars frijoles refritos -no repeat. read more

They have great cheese steak fries here. My boyfriends goes back and forth from Oakland from time to time and I always ask him to bring me back some cheese steak fries. I haven't tried anything else besides this. The prices for the burritos seem to bit more pricey than regular taco trucks. I'm good with just ordering the cheese steak fries though. read more

This has always been the spot since i was young & still is, somedays the food isn't great depending on who is cooking it & how they cook it, other than that I come here specifically for there steak cheese fries !! I add rice, cilantro, shrimp, avacado & extra sour cream on mines, its hella good. read more

Was a bit nervous to try a new truck but once I tasted these steak and shrimp fries it was like a literal orgasm in my mouth

My husband's favorite spot for steak cheese fries. He's been coming here since it was $5 but he add all sorts of stuff to it. He likes it with sour cream with grilled onions and cilantro. Tacos are so so. They don't have prices on their broad but now it's pretty pricey, our 2 steak cheese fries with 2 el pastor tacos is $26. I fell the teal cheese fries is not as good as better but my husband will still come here read more

I went by to check out this taco truck and the experience was very pleasant. In addition to my order of three tacos ($1.25 each), their menu also featured burritos, tortas, and burger and fries. My chitlin and pastor tacos were outstanding while the lengua was decent but did not impress. I must say that their pastor was one of the best I've tasted and it was way juicier and more flavorful than any of the places I've been. Service was personable and friendly. It was very considerate of them to put a little bag of pickled carrots and jalapenos in my bag and they were perfect compliments in between each bite. I hope to come back to check out their pastor burrito or torta for my next visit. The truck is usually parked in an empty lot and has two tables and chairs for those who wish to chill under the sun. read more

Don't come here. Over priced food for no reason. The taste is nothing special at all. Sometimes it doesn't taste fresh either, the tacos I ordered had a fishy smell to them (like spoiled or bad). FYI - the people making the food never wash their hands either, I see them wiping the counter with same cloth, then they go back and make food without washing. read more

No prices posted on the side of the truck. Probably because their super burrito is $14! Will have to come back to try the 1/2 grilled chicken. read more

Steak fries were ok. My husband told them twice no meat just shrimp. Still ended up with meat and barely any shrimp. Fries are kinda soggy. They werent great, i would definetly try somewhere else. They also did not look like the pictures i saw. read more

I feel like one of their Amigas! And guess what? Tacos so good make you wanna join a Mariachi band at least part time while you earn your Masters Degree.. I went on Cinco De Mayo 2019 and found it jam packed with customers. The owner came out with hot chips and authentic salsa apologizing for the wait and thanking us for supporting him. I never felt so welcome in a restaurant. Authentic Mexican food, with a great family friendly environment! read more

Location: very confusing because o was looking for a restaurant or thought it was inside of the market that was listed on the directions. It's a taco truck across the street on a corner. Maybe be a little clearer Good: I went to the taco truck to order tacos and they said they didn't have tacos....ok...only had the option of a burrito, fries, or torta I believe I got the carne Asada cheese fries, and because I was really hungry for shrimp tacos I added shrimp to the fries, probably wouldn't do that again because the mix wasn't good but I LOVED the carne asada fries I only put three stars because of trying to find the location and how long the food took when I was the only customer and how they were out of tacos read more

Seriously everywhere I go, I compare their cheese steak fries to here. Steak cheese fries with onions, sour cream, cilantro, & ketchup. Best. Thing. Ever. read more

I finally came here to try it after hearing about it online. It was easy to find and there was so much parking. I ordered a carne asada super burrito. It was about $8. We didn't have to wait long either. They gave us jalapeños, carrots, lime and radish with our burritos. The portions are huge I only ate half. I ate the other half for my dinner and it still tastes good and still filled me up. I will be coming here more often and recommend this place! read more

I love this place, food is good and they give you a lot. The cheese steak fries are the best! Sorta long wait but totally worth it :) read more

I always get a steak burrito with rice, beans, onions, sour cream & cheese and I'm always satisfied with it. Another thing I order is their steak cheese fries with sour cream & cheese only and ketchup drizzle all over it. I only like to eat it right when i get it. I dont like to wait til I get home cuz then it doesn't taste as good as when it's really fresh. Yes it's only meat with fries but I love it. If you want to get more things on it, tell them you want extra things on it. I've been coming here late night for hella years. Took away a star cuz of it's ghetto area. read more

Nothin beats steak fries from here. Especially with shrimp I literally will drive out here from Pittsburg whenever I crave their food. You can't come to the town without grabbin food from here! The foods cooked fresh, and comes out hot. It gets pricey, depending on what you want on your fries; but I never mind cus I'm always satisfied. I only gave 4 stars because I hate their location. read more

Tacos Los Amigos - perfect for munchies... Or nah? Hahahaha - Food Stands Near Me - Oakland, California

I just came but have not been here in a few years. Shrimp and steak burrito for $15. I don't think I would ever pay that much for a steak and shrimp burrito. That's just too much. All I brought with me in cash was $11 dollars but I think I would of paid if I had brought enough cash. They don't except atm. So I settled for a carnitas burrito. There sign says $7 for burrito but I guess it's basically $10 . Where are all the good but cheap burrito trucks at. It seems as if anytime a taco truck gets a good review on yelp they hike up there prices. Geeze can't a single mom get a burrito break. Anyways there burrito doesn't look that big. Taste of the carnitas burrito was not all that. The carnitas was good but rice n beans was mediocre. Don't think I'll be going back here this place is a rip off. But the staff was nice. But asked for red sauce they gave me only one of each I had to request for another sauce. Stingy with sauces.. I saw some different burrito trucks that were only $8 now that's a little more reasonable. Good luck spending all your cash here. Ha. read more

The best Steak Cheese Fries ever! I add rice and shrimp to mine... just can't go wrong! They have good tacos as well. Love coming here on a weekly basis. Never seems to fail me. They have Super Burritos that will fill you up for sure! Favorite Taco Truck hands down. read more

I really don't know what happened to this truck. It use to have the best steak cheese fries in town but every time I've been back its been so disappointing. It doesn't have the same great quality meat (steak) like it did before and frankly it doesn't have that good guilty pleasure taste anymore. I also ordered a couple of steak tacos and lengua tacos on my last visit. I have to admit it was the best lengua meat I've had in Oakland, but the tortillas were so hard that we had to throw most of it away and just ate the meat. I probably wouldn't come back after these last few bad experiences, especially since there's so many other choices down international. read more

Heard they have the best steak fries. So, i gave it a try and its the best ive had. I ordered the steak cheese dries and added shrimp and it was so delicious. Highly recommended for the steak cheese fries. Next time i go i will try the other stuff. The neighborhood is like any other east oakland taco truck so nothing new and the ladies whos in the truck were friendly. read more

Great steak fries. The only downside is a very sketch location, and I wouldn't call the workers friendly or welcoming either! But who care when the foods good right ? I'd probably be back under the right circumstances. But at the very least this is a " one hit and quit" deal for the steak fry maniac. read more

Came here the other day on a whim, or should I say originally because people were raving about them here on Yelp and I had to try. So we came here to get an order of cheese steak fries for a snack and I've gotta say it's in a scary area and I'm not used to it but the fries are good and the portion is big, good for two people plus extra. Lots of good cheese and a lot of meat to compliment it. I just can't say it was amazing enough that I would go back for, because like I said the neighborhood isn't the finest. read more

Go there to get a California burrito no meat, and they put wverything besides meat.... this time they literally sold me an $8 burrito with only rice cheese and fries wtf and I asked the cashier for green sauce and she said there was some in my bag there wasn't any.
