Perfect for lunch time

Great service, great taste in all the food and they are quick. You get a nice view too

Wow!!! This taco truck has excellent tacos at a great price! The service was friendly and quick, which is always a plus. I came on a hot day and tried their cucumber and lime agua fresca and it was fantastic! Super refreshing! The tacos were not underserved and the salsas were on point. I've tried a lot of taco trucks that look good but end up serving overly greasy foods and ok drinks but Tacos Pihuamo did not disappoint. What more can you ask for?? I highly recommend this spot!!

Woohoo! So glad we stumbled upon this tacos truck while on a bike ride along the NW Berkeley segment of the SF Bay Trail. The taco truck was parked just outside Golden Gate Fields, between the soccer/athletic field and the water. Tacos were $1.75, and they definitely don't skimp out on the fillings. They are fairly simple tacos--similar to other taco trucks in the Bay Area (they must all use the same menu board...). However, the wait wasn't long, there were picnic tables to use, and the food was good and cheap. Worth a stop if you're looking for a quick/cheap bite to eat and only have a handful of $s.

See all

We were in the neighborhood, hungry, and knew the area lacked abundant food offerings. We had seen…read morethe cute little Dojo Dog food truck (well, food trailer) before -- and this time gave it a try. Glad we did! Rebecca was running the truck with her husband, and they were warm, friendly, and hard-working. That same care reflected in the food. Comforting flavors, big portions, and just what we needed. ---- Food ---- The hot dogs here are big, delicious, and fantastic value for the price. Wushu Dog: Loved this one. Inventive and delicious. Great texture, topped with pork sung and crispy cabbage, plus katsu sauce and Japanese mayo. Savory, crunchy, and satisfying. Sumo Dog: Japanese curry beef chili with cheese and fresh scallions. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for that chilly evening. Fried Foods: We didn't try, any but they serve fries and potstickers too. The fries seemed to be a crowd favorite at Great Notion Brewery next door (which is partnered with Dojo Dog). Definitely getting them next time. Rebecca told me she enjoys experimenting with new dishes, and the creativity shows. Looking forward to trying more! ---- Drinks ---- We didn't but drinks as we were enjoying beer at Great Notion, but Dojo Dog also offer drinks like milk tea. ---- Bonus ---- As I mentioned, they partner with Great Notion, one of our FAVORITE bars in the Bay with the best smoothie beers and stouts. You can bring your Dojo Dog inside and pair it with their awesome beers. Inventive hot dogs + beer = awesome evening ---- Vibe ---- Cute little food truck, family-run charm, friendly service, and an endearing hole-in-the-wall feel. The whole setup feels local and community-driven. In fact, it was originally created by Berkeley students. Very cool. ---- Overall ---- Amazing hot dogs, great beer next door, friendly owners, inventive sides, and a fun, low-key vibe. It will hit the spot every time. Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu!

This is a fantastic tamale stand located at the corner of Gillman and San Pablo in northwest…read moreBerkeley. The tamales are fresh, juicy and big. 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!

The sauce was a simple garlic creme sauce with a touch of lemon, cilantro , onions and chili, but was not hot. The shrimp with garlic sauce was served with baby carrots and green rice. I hope they will make this a staple on their menu. It could easily be their signature dish. Cafe de Olla -had a splash of milk added, but normally it comes black. The coffee had a nice sweetness and you don't need to add sugar. PIPIAN TACOS Rotisserie Chicken or Pork Shoulder, Oaxacan Brown Mole Sauce with Red Chiles, Onion-Jalapeño Curtido If you like spicy , you will love this dish. The meat was covered with a spicy chil sauce that was absolutely delicious, but HOT. Interestingly, the dish had a small bowl of mole sauce that was not spicy and was a delicious dipping sauce for the taco. However the person who ordered this dish said she would ask to see if she could order the rotisserie chicken without the spicy sauce. She asked did ask for sour cream to tone down the heat. She thought the meat was very delicious, just too hot.

Well as promised, we returned -- this time for brunch -- and I'm really glad we did.

The space is beautifully designed, especially the extended dining area, and the staff operates with an impressive level of efficiency and expertise. Everything just felt more noticeable this time around, in the best way. We also had the pleasure of chatting with who I believe was a manager, who was incredibly kind and helpful in answering our questions. That extra level of hospitality really elevated the experience and left a lasting impression. P.S. The blue corn pancakes are amazing! BB
