    Carne asada
    Heidi C.

    It's a food truck parked on Niles Blvd right across the street of Niles Antique Co-op store. We ordered 4 carne asada tacos, 4 al pastor tacos, and super burrito with carne asada. It was delicious! The staff was friendly and there's plenty of street parking on the weekdays.

    The Super Burrito with Asada, without rice, is always my go-to order here. No dry burrito here...it's savory, creamy, and hearty, and the flavors that come through always leave me wanting more. Depending on when you come, there can be a long line, so plan accordingly. It's also located in Nile's, which is a nice bonus!

    Al Pastor Taco
    Vu D.

    Absolute banger. $2.50 for one taco which is decently priced. Sometimes they don't ask you if you want jalepenos so you gotta ask them. Ain't nothing major. In a good location to sit nearby and enjoy. Trash cans all around Nile so that's easy too. There's a bathroom down the street to wash your hands. Love it. We need more taco trucks.

    5 tacos with a pineapple drink

    I have actually tried Taco Negris twice. The first time I tried their food had an Al Pastor and a Carnitas taco. I thought the carnitas taco was outstanding, the tortilla was hot, soft, carnitas were hot, tender with just a slight crisp, flavorful and was so good it tasted great with just onions and cilantro. The Al Pastor was flavorful but a bit drier and could use some juicy pico de gallo or a really good salsa. Based upon the first trio I thought they were a solid 4.5 overall. The second trip I invited a friend and he ordered 5 tacos: a Lengua, a Shrimp, an Al Pastor and two Carnitas. I ordered 3 tacos and a Shrimp Tostada for my wife: an Al Pastor and two Carnitas tacos. I thought the overall taco was not as hot and the carnitas were a bit drier such that I could have used some really good salsa or pico de gallo so maybe 3.5 (3 for the Al Pastor and 4 for the carnitas) overall. My wife said the shrimp had no flavor but was okay (a 3). They asked if I wanted Mayo and I wasn't sure if my wife would want Mayo so I asked if they could put it on the side. They said they either put it on the shrimp or they don't. I'm not sure if maybe the Mayo had the seasoning/flavor so the tostada tasted plain. My friend thought his tacos were as follows: Carne Asada a 3, Lengua a 4, Shrimp a 4.5 and Carnitas a 5 so 4.3 overall. I would give it a solid 4 and will definitely try it again and hope the carnitas are as good as my first trip. Also, we'll try the Shrimp Tostada again but with the Mayo this time. Taco Negris might be a 4 on off days and a 5 on good days. Regardless of what kind of day they are having, overall they are a must try.

    Shrimp & octopus tostada and pastor taco
    Gillian A.

    Taco truck located in the Town of Niles. The Jesus truck as some people say (there is a large portrait of Him on the truck). A bunch of reviewers rave about the shrimp & octopus tostada so I got one of those. Also got a pastor taco. Shrimp & octopus tostada: shrimp was melt-in-your mouth.....the octopus not so much. I get that octopus tends to be chewy but the chunks on the tostada were overly chewy (think rubber bands). It could've been better if the octopus was cut into smaller pieces. Eating the tostada was pretty much enjoying mainly the shrimp & avocado but when it came to an octopus chunk it was *chew chew chew*. The octopus had little flavor to it as well. Overall not sure if the tostada was really worth the 8 bucks. Pastor taco: not the most tender pastor I've had but its strong delicious smoky spicy flavor almost makes up for all of it. I enjoyed it overall. Would recommend. As I mentioned before, the truck is in the Town of Niles so it's not the most accessible food truck in the bay. If you're already planning to visit the Town of Niles then definitely check the Jesus taco truck out. Otherwise, there are other taco trucks that are arguably better in the area (not a bash.....it's just that the taco truck game in the Bay Area is pretty strong). *Cash only*

    Fish, al pastor, and carnitas tacos
    Cin-Yee S.

    Fish tacos available on Friday so I had to swing by. Also ordered the al pastor and carnitas tacos, and the shrimp and octopus ceviche. All were quite tasty and freshly made. Great service and food will have me returning!

    Clockwise: shrimp & octopus tostada, carnitas taco, fish ceviche tostada.

    I've seen this taco truck for years. Never tried the food until today. The truck itself is located on the south end of the Niles strip. Right in front of the do-it-yourself car wash and right beside the train depot. We tried quite a few things today: Fish ceviche tostada: Delicious! Just the right amount of lemon for acidity, fresh, finely chopped up fish, avocado, and red onion on top of a tostada that you can choose to have Mayo/no Mayo between the tostada and ceviche. Shrimp and octopus tostada: This was also raw (at least it tasted raw) but with the lemon and cocktail sauce on the side. Even with the lemon and cocktail sauce, it was a bit bland and the octopus was already rubbery before I put lemon on it. So, decided to make it into ceviche when I got home and let the shrimp sit in a bowl mixing it with lemon and cocktail sauce for a few minutes. So much better once it was ceviche-tized. This is an easy pass for me next time. Carnitas taco: Also, delicious! It's a small taco that packs a punch! The carnitas was perfectly cooked. Not oily like some other places. The meat was super tender and flavorful. Definitely getting this again! Super burrito w/ chorizo: This thing is huge! The husband really liked it. All the fixings including avocado and sour cream. He's a fan! If I could give this place a 4.5-4.75, I would in a heart beat.

    Shrimp and Cabeza Tacos
    Jay P.

    4.5 Stars, if you've ever been to Niles you've had to have seen the "Jesus Truck". Made it a point to return especially after seeing all the local-love this place gets. I got here at 10:30 today and there were already people waiting and ordering which is an awesome sign. The Shrimp and Octopus Cocktail/Ceviche is one of the best thing's I've eaten in awhile. 5/5. The "small" size can easily be divided with 3 people since it's HUGE and packed full of shrimp and octopus. They also give you half a pack of saltines and some tostada shells for dipping. There are nice big chunks of everything and teh lemon/lime juice was still bubbling after the 12 minute drive home. It tasted, clean, fresh, simple, and like the ocean. Highly recommend it for people into ceviche and if you've never had it it's like Mexican Sashimi. It's chilling in my refrigerator now and writing all this is making me want to go snack. The Shrimp and Cabeza Tacos were good, would get the shrimp again, the shrimp was well cooked and the sauce was great. I would rotate the Cabeza out for something else. It was super tender and well braised but would really like to get the fish on a friday. The Asada Super-burrito was OK, it was tasty but not as good as some other places. Asada itself didn't have the charcoal/fire grill taste since it's made on a griddle. The unique things w/ this burrito are the huge slices of avocado which were tasty and the use of refried beans. Great thing is you don't hear the grill go until you order, everything is made fresh. CASH only!!!

    The Truck
    Dave S.

    Hands down the best truck I have been to. The line alone in front of the truck tell you all you need to know. Tacos are great but my got to is The Carnitas super burrito. The flavors just explode. Everything about it makes me happy. If not the Carnitas, it is the Shrimp super burrito. Wow, never has anything even came close. If your ever in the beautiful district of Niles in Fremont CA. I highly recommend stopping and having

    Carne asada tacos $1.50 each
    Chantal Noelle T.

    This is solely for their tacos. Located in Niles you can find the food truck directly across from Joe's corner where the car wash is! Each taco is $1.50 and I'm a carne asada girl and man these tacos were so delicious! Writing this makes me want to hop in the car and get some! LOL The carne asada itself were full of flavor and had a little crunch to it which I thoroughly enjoyed! FOR $1.50 each you get a lot of meat and the whole taco itself was delicious until the last bite! I'm sad I didn't get more to be honest! This is for sure my new favorite taco spot! Delicious and affordable! Lastly they also only accept CASH and no card so make sure you come prepared and with an empty tummy!

    Carne asada tacos

    This is hands down my go to taco truck! I have been coming here for almost 6 years and finally decided to review it. Their tacos are the most authentic in Fremont! They never have dry meat, and on fridays they have fish tacos! Their is usually a line to order, but after you order they make your food super fast! I love cheap prices for quality food, i could eat 5 tacos in one sitting they are so flavor-filled and juicy. The only downside is sometimes they close a little earlier than their hours suggest, but this only happened to me once. The other downside is it is cash only, but thats not a big deal for me either. I love the service that I get here, always remember to TIP! I always bring my friends here when they want authentic tacos.

    The truck
    Chris D.

    Ordered tacos and a bunch of other stuff from Tacos Negris and enjoyed the food. Service was quick. Price was inexpensive. Location is cool because it's in Niles right next to all the shopping and the park and what not. Negatives are that they're cash only, the meat in my taco was slightly overcooked (they were still great though), and I don't believe their prices were displayed on the menu (which can be annoying). All that being said, if I happen to have some cash on me, I'd happily eat there again.

    What are their hours of operations?

    About 10AM until they run out of food which is usually in the late afternoon. It's a taco truck so their hours can be a little inconsistent. I imagine if it's slow and there's a construction work crew or something they can take off for an hour.… 

    Would this taco truck be able to do parties? Like would they be able to drive out and cater a party?

    No. They don't cater.

Just to let you know I have been a customer for sometime now specially the one at Walnut Creek Loc and always have received an exeptional service from all your employees! Today, I came in to the Fremont Loc and everything was the same! In fact the Gentleman that took my order didnt stop smiling at every custoner he helped! So helpful jugleling from walkins and phone orders he was welcoming and gracefully gave great Service to everyone. When I was leaving I needed some ice for the road under this heat! I ask the same Gentleman and he didnt know if I was able to, he ask the other lady next to him (she was wearinh knee brace) and before he finish asking her if it was ok? She emmediately answer "NO We DONT HAVE REFILS" i said no Mrs I dont need that! I only need Ice, she must to be in pain or under the heat! I thought she was going to apoligize and give me the ICe but instead she said its right there and appount to the soda machine! I get it is self service thing but she was a bit NOT welcoming! I looked at the Nice Gentleman and said dont worry I'll get it thank you much again. Got the Ice amd walked out. Though of sharing it the experience, because I wasnt asking for refill nor free Ice, I could have paid fornit is just that she was a not in the mood for a begger! Thank you so much. P.S. Food was great like always!

It's really quiet…read morehere and seems that people rather take it to go than dine here since there's only one person I saw. The place is kinda dark which is probably the reason why. I was scrolling through the menu and I noticed that some of the words were too small to read especially when they're clumped together. When I was trying to order, they were going a bit too fast by not just quickly telling me what to add next, but also added cheese to accumulate the total price of food when I never ordered it. Fast service could be as bad as slow service, because people could feel rushed. I got Al Pastor Bowl and it's really delicious though. I like how all the ingredients were blended together as I keep on eating it. My small issue is that, it wasn't kind of warm enough but not to the point where I have to microwave it. Honestly, I have forgotten what Al pastor is which is why I got it but again, I'll have to look up online what it is. Overall, the food is good but they should slow down a bit when taking customers' orders especially when they're new here. My other suggestion is to replace a menu where all words can be seen easily to read and to space them out.
