The service was great and the vendor enjoyed capturing my grandsons attention and he served us up some tasty food with a big smile. My grandson and I had not problem polishing off a chicken and pork tamale. Dang they are really so good. Maybe a little on the pricey side compared to other tamale options out there, but more than worth it when you sink your chops into such fine food. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in town! The setting and ambience are perfect since the stand is located in the parking lot of an automobile service station - an excellent choice for setting up shop!

I was surprised there was no line as my friend mentioned there can be a line and the price of the taco. I ordered 3 tacos- carne asada, carnitas and language from the lady. She asked if I wanted everything on it so I said yes. She also asked if I was paying cash or card. Guess it would cost more with card. Tacos came out fast on a paper plate. The lady asked if I wanted salsa, I said yes. She gave me what I think is a salsa verde. I had taken the tacos to go eat at home. I noticed that the tacos came with a lemon instead of a lime. The tacos all had onions, parsley and maybe some salsa on top. The radishes were dry. The lengua seemed to have the most flavor than the other two. The carnitas had a couple dry pieces of meat but with some added salsa it was better. The carne asada was fine, could have a little more flavor. This taco truck will not break your wallet.

As a vegetarian, I really appreciate that they have delicious options for me, while my family can't get enough of their flavorful all-beef hot dogs and the wide variety of condiments.

We'll definitely keep coming back!

One of the most treasured hot dog stands in Berkeley in my opinion. This guy works so hard everyday…read moreto bring people at Ashby Bart and from all over some of the best quick-to-go hot dogs, including Hot links (my favorite), polish, all beef, jumbo, and regular. Best of all, like many of the images here show, are his toppings! Seriously, cilantro, mayo, jalepeños, siracha, and regular toppings, they work so well and when he makes them it's magical, no joke. I hope his cart re-opens soon as I drove by today looking to get a hotlink but saw he wasn't there. COME BACK SOON!! And everyone... don't forget to tip well here please!!

Finishing off the last bite as I the escalator beamed me up, a really pretty woman smiled at me and said, "I, too, had a hot dog for breakfast..." as she wiped a bit of mustard off her lushest lips. Worked for me!

The outdoor seating is refreshing during the summer.

They have aguachiles and ceviche, birria, mulitas, vampiros, tacos, and aguas frescas! Every plate is perfectly seasoned and savory. They definitely cover several regional cuisines of Mexico at this single food truck. I would argue it's one of the best Mexican food trucks in the bay, so much so that it reminds me of LA. Can't get any better, unless you head to Mexico itself.
