Food: 8/10 Service: N/A (pay at the food truck and seat yourself or take home) Value: 5/10 Wait time: 5 minutes to order on Sunday at 12noon Portion size: medium I have been here many times but this is my first time writing a review. I haven't been in a while since they got rid of the 2nd food truck and the line is just too long. This time there was barely a line so I had to get some! I ordered steak tacos and 1 lengua taco. Definitely still delicious but the price has gone up probably due to inflation and covid. Its now $3.25 for one taco! The lengua is definitely a favorite if you want to be adventurous. Its beef tongue but its so tender and juicy that you have to try it! All meals are served with a side of radishes, carrots and jalapeños. I would also ask for a side of salsa to add to the tacos because this time there wasn't as much as I remembered.
1.5* -0.5* for serving LEMONS over LIMES, crime at its finest This was not the best picture, but neither were the tacos. I love authentic Mexican food, especially a STREET TACO. I don't understand what the fuss is about here. This was my 2nd visit. 1st visit my tacos were drenched in sauce, I like to taste the FLAVORs, so EASY on the sauce pal. &&& the sauce was soooooo not it! I learned my lesson & ordered sauce on the side the 2nd time around & the meat was nearly tasteless... also CASH ONLY! a million & 1 working the truck & service is beyond slow. & u bet not dare THINK about asking for EXTRA salsa verde. Very stingy with the verde! There's too many street taco options in Oakland for me to return here.
I got chicken burrito and had a good street food experience there today. International boulvard is full of food trucks. You probably heard about places with the best tacos in Oakland, this is one of them. I was passing there and stopped by to get some food for lunch. Food was yummy and everything in it was fresh. Very fast and polite staff. If you're looking for some good mexican street food-this is a place you should give a try. Next time I'll try something else and share some pictures. +++only cash there+++
Tacos Sinaloa is one of my all fave-go to taco spots. My favorite tacos to get are the carnitas tacos. They press them on to the grill or something like that and makes the meat crispy which I love. I also really like the carne asada tacos and the burritos! Omg I had not thought of getting a burrito because I felt like I always wanted tacos when I went, but all of the staples such as meat, beans and rice are so delicious. When you have the staples down, pretty much any mix of food you get will be good. We always order a large horchata to go with it. They only take cash so remember that. They have outdoor seating which is nice, but it's usually a long line so I always like to go before the lunch rush.
If you're craving authentic Mexican food and are in the East Bay, Sinaloa is the one. I've been here so many times and this taco truck just HITS. Just make sure you bring cash. Service is usually quick as the food is made to order. The truck is located right by Fruitvale and there's a small parking lot. Sometimes I'm in the mood for tacos and other times, a burrito. Both are great! I'd say 3 tacos are enough to get me full since they don't skimp on the meat. The super burrito is literally the size of your forearm and can feed like 2-3 people. The carnitas are always crispy, but not dry. The al pastor (my favorite and go-to) is very balanced and not too sweet. Sometimes it can be a bit greasy though and can leak through the burrito, but with my frequent visit, the al pastor was done just right. Make sure you ask for salsa because sometimes it's not included with the pickled jalapenos and carrots, radishes, and lime.
It always bothers me that it's Tacos Sinaloa instead of Tacqueria Sinaloa... Anyways, I first discovered Tacos Sinaloa because they served tacos for a grad event in Berkeley. (I think they are my first taco truck ever!) Fast forward many years later and I'm no longer a starry-eyed college grad, but the tacos are as delicious as I remember, albeit with prices a little higher than I remember. They have one of the most diverse taco truck menus I've seen: all the classic meats, specialty meats including lengua, and a seafood section. They offer all kinds of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. but I like sticking to good old tacos. They come with cilantro, onions, and salsa as well as a side of pickled veggies. - I think my favorite was actually the POLLO; it's simple and well-rounded, finished off nicely with all the classic toppings. - The AL PASTOR definitely had a kick and reached the upper limit of my spiciness tolerability. I love spicy, but this had me reaching for water. - The CARNITAS was more deep-fried than I had expected. I'm not really used to crunchy carnitas so it wasn't love at first bite, but the unique crispiness grew on me, and it didn't too dry because there was ample sauce. For $3 per taco, it makes a great meal or snack, and I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. Service was also friendly. There's a short wait for the food since everything is made-to-order. Other notes: - I wasn't enthused with the subpar COVID precautions... although there was a sign requesting for masks, several customers were completely unmasked, and nothing was enforced. Staff were wearing masks, but I saw one of them had their mask pulled down. I guess it's reassuring that it's mostly socially distanced, and I feel bad for judging. I just wish people took things a bit more seriously (wearing a mask to order at a taco truck is not difficult!) - The taco truck is located adjacent to a sit-down restaurant. The indoor was closed, but there were some benches outdoors - There's a small parking lot - They don't have any utensils, so be prepared to eat with your hands. It's a little messy with the sauces, so I actually used chopsticks that I found in my car lol
My housemate was on the hunt for good al pastor tacos, good tacos in general, and we found this place on yelp! We ordered 2 carnitas tacos, 2 al pastor, and 2 carne asada. The carnitas tacos are some of the best you'll have. The carnitas are recooked and warmed on the flattop so they have this nice and crisp layer to it. It is to die for. The meat is nice and tender. The ONLY downside is that when you got to a part of the taco that had no salsa and just meat, there was a lot of chewing involved but that definitely didn't stop me. The al pastor was... interesting. Instead of traditional al pastor, it's like pork that they smothered in a sauce? Like if they cooked pork, made an al pastor sauce and concentrated it and then poured it over the cooked pork. Was it good? Yep. Was it al pastor? Meh. No pineapple either. Carne asada was my LEAST favorite. It was dry and hard to get down in my opinion. Good carne asada is cooked, chopped, then served. That retains some moisture in the beef. I understand that, for speed, the taco trucks will precook it ahead of time and re-warm on the truck but this one, to me, was sooooo dry. Pass. The real kicker however is the value. $2 per taco and they're good sized tacos! What a steal! Let's be real, it's hard to find tacos at that price now a days. All in all, definitely recommend giving this place a try. I want to try their quesadilla and super burrito next!
Tacos Sinaloa is in my strong opinion the best Taco truck in the Bay Area! I love this place, have been here countless number of times, and like to share this spot with good friends! They do everything right when it comes to a great taco, the double serving of tortillas are cooked on the flat top with some oil to just the right crisp. They dress the tacos the right way with green salsa for lengua and cabeza and salsa roja for most other meats options. The range of meat options are tasty and authentic, and they offer my favorite meat that is not common at most trucks. The Suadero is something they translate into "Rose Meat", it is beef brisket cooked to a texture like Carnitas. A Suadero Burrito is my go to Burrito before an A's game, and honestly its so good!! They aren't over the top with guac/sour cream/pico thing. They serve it with rice, not lots of beans, a little "crema" not sour cream, a little cheese, and not too much salsa. There is some spice to the meat, and this Burrito will change your life. Sinaloa is a coastal state in Mexico known for its seafood, so if you come here order Shrimp tostadas, Coctel de Camarones (shrimp), fish tacos...! Everything they do here is good, the lengua (tongue) is very good, and another great meat here is the Cabeza. The meat from the head of the cow offers you stewed cheek meat that is packed with flavor and will melt in your mouth. If you live in Oakland, you should know about this place, it is an Iconic taco truck in the Bay! My favorite spot for tacos and a Jamaica agua fresca. Try it for yourself, and you will fall for it if you like authentic Mexican tacos, amazing seafood and Saudero Burritos!
East Oakland and the Fruitvale District in particular doesn't get any more authentically Mexican than the tacos, burritos, and quesadillas being served from the Tacos Sinaloa food truck. Located along the busy Fruitvale Avenue corridor and catacorner from the Fruitvale Bart Station, Tacos Sinoloa has been satiating the taste buds of locals and people coming in from parts unknown for years thanks to their brightly painted orange exterior and their overall reclamation of an old auto mechanic shop which now serves as their main dining room with their food truck parked in front. Now with the situation we are currently living in this dining room is closed, despite it being basically an old open garage where diners can feast on their soft tacos in the midst of the open atmosphere of the Fruitvale neighborhood. I have been coming to Tacos Sinaloa for years now thanks to its close location to the Interstate 880 off ramp being so close and accessible for those who want to grab a quick bite and get back on the freeway in order to get going. I was in the area running some other errands and considered my options when it came to lunch as I knew there were a lot of pick from and I wasn't kidding myself as I was trying to get from point A to B in where I was going I counted at least five other Mexican-style food trucks which no doubt served the same authentically made Mexican dishes. But I remain loyal to Tacos Sinaloa thanks to the additional locations in Berkeley and I knew they served up some really nicely prepared Tacos and Burritos. Since I was hungry the time I had went this time I decided that a burrito was the only was to go as they served two kinds regular and super. Both burritos feature your choice of meat along with rice, beans, sour cream, cheese and salsa and I believe the only difference is the size, but I wouldn't exactly know the difference because the menu on the side of their truck has the prices for both burritos blacked out so it gives me pause in thinking that they were probably only doing one size burrito at this time. Either way for ten dollars I ordered a steak burrito and for an additional ten I ordered a carnitas burrito for my family back at home so they too could enjoy a nice takeout lunch. They do charge extra for higher-end specialty proteins such as tongue, tripe, and seafood but the fact that steak isn't considered specialty and no additional charge is requested is nice. Although the meal took about ten minutes to prepare the exterior of the burrito was beautifully seared on all sides. There was plenty of filling each burrito but I did notice a lack of sour cream and salsa, which only affected the taste as I tend to split my burritos in half and save the rest for a future meal and when I did so and reheated it, the burrito was fairly dry, which wasn't bad but would have been nice had it been paired with an extra salsa on the side. Instead you get a traditional packet of chopped raw vegetables including carrot and radish slices, two lime wedges and a two grilled chili peppers which were the spiciest things I have had in quite some time. Obviously a return visit is required, as this is the only place I go for my takeout Mexican cuisine. Ordering soft tacos to-go with their size and overall takeout compatibility is the question. That is why I went with the burrito as I think that menu item is more accessible for a takeout order. Also their Quesadilla de Carne, Tortas and Meat Tostadas look really good. And the fact that they even serve Seafood Cocktails, out of their little food truck is intriguing to say the least! I just wish the prices on their menu will be updated soon as all of their prices are blacked out, which is a rather peculiar way to run things especially in these takeout kind of times! Either way Tacos Sinaloa is my go-to place for takeout Mexican food and I wouldn't have it either way!
Not sure what the hype was about. I've heard from many people in the Bay Area that these were the best tacos in the Bay! I was so juiced to finally try them! The location was a little sketch but hey, I will risk my life for some good tacos! Tacos 5/10 - I had the carne asada, chorizo, lengua, carnitas & fish tacos. Trash. The flavor wasn't there. The protein existed, and so did the pico, cilantro & onions. But what's food without flavor?! I needed to taste the love and effort put into it. I asked if the fish tacos were battered and deep fried, but I for cut up fish, I was confused. The chorizo was hella burnt I could not eat it. Lengua tasted like boiled human parts. I don't think I can do lengua anymore this experience ruined it for me. The Horchata 8/10 - Creamy, light and refreshing. What more can you ask for.
*** CASH ONLY *** As long as they've been open and poppin' they need to upgrade to card! I hate always having to hit the bank before coming to get tacos, such an inconvenience as I rarely carry cash The best tacos in the Bay Area! (I also just found a new spot in the Oakland area that come in 2nd place, and are a little cheaper, looks like you have some competition Sinaloa!!) Anyways, these are my childhood! I remember coming here as a child with my parents & brother. My dad would always make me take out the second tortilla from my tacos and go to feed the birds. It was my favorite thing to do. One of the very few memories I have with him. I've had alot of different food from here. My top favorite are Chicken or Asada Tacos, Asada Torta & Shrimp Ceviche!! Chicken is shredded & sooo juicy!! Asada are cut nice and small (not big chunks) & seasoned to perfection! Not salty at all. Now that Shrimp Ceviche!! That shit is on hit! With Tapatio omg, my mouth just did that thing where your taste buds get the best of you and pinch the back of your jaw lmao! No joke. You will not be dissatisfied coming here! Food is amazing, pricey! You get what you pay for tho. My only negative is all the homeless in the area and they sit on the edge of the truck sometimes just begging for $$$, then the prostitution.... sucks. Part of the reason, I went looking for another taco spot, (which I found ) Corner of High St & E 14th! Go you will not be disappointed!!!! Tacos Sinaloa will always hold a special place in my heart though! I will never stop coming here.
Amazing tacos! I use to live in SoCal and always thought the bay area and socal has very different styles and taste to their Mexican food, and that's completely fine, but these tacos blew it out of the park! Area is definitely not so great, but perhaps that aides in the flavor and hype about this truck. The bf ordered their super carnitos burrito and was huge, def shareable if you feel like sharing (Please see pic below lol). If you're hungry and feel like you havent eaten in days, I reccomend ordering their super burrito for quantity. Quality wise for a burrito, i would probably go the Mission, SF. But back to the tacos, I ordered a chicken taco and carne asada taco. Both were delicious, but if I had to pick one, I definitely would go with their carne asada tacos! Don't miss out on them!
First time being in downtown Oakland. Stopped at this taco truck. Ordered some veggie super burritos, chicken burritos, tacos and quesadilla. The price is definitely good for the amount of food you get and as long as the food is good, I will always support local businesses.

**ACCEPTS CARDS NOW** Can't go to Oakland without stopping by this taco truck! Service is always good! Even with a line the tacos still come out reasonable. It's located on a large parking lot so there's plenty of free parking. Not much ambiance because it's a pretty casual and straight forward place. They have an indoor space or you can stay in your car and munch on your tacos. Al Pastor is still my go-to and love all the pickled sides they add to it. They also accept card now which is awesome!!! read more

So, today was the Black Joy parade and I had such a blast! However, I had my sleepy granddaughter needed to ride around to go to sleep so I drove to Fruitvale In search of a fish taco. I looked Yelp and a couple of locations popped up. One truck seemed MIA, the other didn't sell seafood or veggie options, then I looked across the road and a glimmer of familiarity hit me. I pulled closer and remembered patronizing this truck before. I ordered a fish and a shrimp taco. Made to order and I was pleasantly pleased that the fish was diced and loaded into the tortillas. Perfect, compared to usually getting a big chuck of tilapia or a breaded fried piece of mystery fish. This was one of the best fish tacos I have ever had. Condiments are upon request. $3.50/taco No real complaints outside of the outside being the outside lol. read more

But back to the tacos, I ordered a chicken taco and carne asada taco. Both were delicious, but if I had to pick one, I definitely would go with their carne asada tacos! Don't miss out on them! read more
First time being in downtown Oakland. Stopped at this taco truck. Ordered some veggie super burritos, chicken burritos, tacos and quesadilla. The price is definitely good for the amount of food you get and as long as the food is good, I will always support local businesses. read more
There's some parking by the truck when you pull in. Street tacos and horchata from here are AMAZING. I like the pastor and chicken and steak but you really can't go wrong with anything. Be warned that the super burrito is HUGE though. There are tables under an awning to sit too which some other trucks don't offer so a value added bonus!! read more

This became one of our favorite spots for burritos and tortas since moving to Oakland. The burritos are $9 and the super-burritos are $14 (see attached photo). Usually the difference between a super and regular burrito is that super-burritos have more ingredients. Here the super-burrito doubles in length!! If you're wondering if the burritos taste good reheated, YES THEY DO! I've also started following their Instagram page and they have been serving First-Responders food!! read more
First off they put on a lot of meat. The suadero was the best of the 4 tacos we got. The el pastor was sweet with pineapple and one of my favorites. They had a chorizo taco which you don't see often. The carrots were exceptional and were more than out of a can they were memorable. They have a nice area for you to sit and eat on tables. It is right off Fruitvale with plenty of parking. read more

Shrimp, suadero , carnitas, and fish tacos. The carnitas was $2. The others $2.50 We liked them all. Nothing was great. Very average The shrimp was our favorite Suadero is a beef they call rose and was crispy too. We'd never go back We took bus from Fruitvale bart to Joaquin Miller Park and hiked four miles read more

Pull up and grab some tacos. Good amount of parking, but I don't know if they open it up for sit down to eat anymore as I usually take it to go. Plenty of options like lengua (my favorite) or suadero. Their al pastor is nice too. If you can, go to the one on 12th which I think is slightly better, but this one is good too. Quick to make and while prices gone up some, it's still good value. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet (or that no one else has for that matter). This is my go-to place in Oakland for tacos! Whenever my sister house-sits for her friend, we stop by here and eat about 8 tacos apiece. Rating Breakdown -- 2/2 Stars for Taste: Juicy meat options topped with zesty salsas and served on a double-layer of warm corn tortillas. What's not to like? My personal favorites are the suadero (pork belly), tripas (fried small intestines), and the lengua (tongue), but really you can't go wrong. The shrimp tacos come with giant shrimp and my friend is partial to the pastor. You know what, just come and eat one of each. You won't regret it, I promise. Oh, also make sure you get the pickled carrots and jalapenos. YUM. 1/1 Stars for Value -- It's $2-$2.25 for a taco and you will probably eat 4. That's a stuffing meal for less than $10! Don't try to skimp and limit yourself to the $2 tacos. There's a reason the good stuff is $.25 more! One thing is that they overcharged both my friend and me a quarter each. Maybe it was tax? For our plates? No idea, but whatever, the food was super good and cheap, I'm not mad. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service I've never come when the line is too crazy so the wait times are short. Tacos are made to order and there's seating in the building behind the truck. Not the cleanest, but I think a little bit of grunge is the best setting in which to enjoy your street tacos. Bonus star because I literally come here every time I'm in the area...sometimes more than once a weekend. TL;DR: Get the suadero, lengua, or tripas tacos. read more

I've been going here for years..has become really popular as of late so just be prepared to stand in line..but it goes fast. Tacos are very good, tostada, breakfast burritos all good. I go at least 3 times a week if not more. The meats are never over cooked..but my favorite is the trifecta..6 tacos..steak, chicken and shrimp tacos..never fails read more

We got the fish tacos and the asado tacos, and both were good, but definitely a little spicy. The horchata was delicious though, and a perfect complement. This place is cash only, so make sure you plan accordingly, but it's definitely worth it. Especially given how expensive everything is in the Bay Area, these tacos are delicious and affordable. You order your tacos at a truck, and you can take them to go or sit down on some outdoor bench patio area where you can eat them right away. I definitely would want to try their other tacos, but I think these are some of the best fish tacos I've had. My friend said these are the best tacos in the Bay, and I can see why she said that. read more
One of the best taco trucks in Oakland. The location is not for everybody but the food is amazing. The super burrito is a monster. The carne asada was so tasty. They give you likes Jalapeno's carrots and radishes. Loved it read more

Fire tacos! Cash only. Hugeeeee burritos (that's what she said). It's def in a sketchier area but the Oakland hipster hype is present. A melting pot of culture in one taco truck setting I tell ya! Line can get long, prepare yourself to be patient. There's sitting areas outside. Everything was delicious except me being ambitious trying their champorrado (sweet chocolate rice) on a cold day. Eh. But them tacos. Of course I'll be back. read more

One of the best taco trucks I've been to in the Bay Area! Their tacos are flavorful and have a really delicious spicy salsa. The horchata is also delicious and comes in a huge portion. Keep in mind this place is cash only. They do have an ATM inside in case you need to pull out some cash. Definitely plan on coming back if I'm in the area! read more

Delicious tacos for a super low price, what more could you ask for?? I got their pastor and carnitas tacos and was super satisfied. Pastor had good flavor, and the carnitas had a nice crust to them and added a nice texture to the tacos. Each taco was only $2!! What a steal. I love how this place is a food truck, but there is a seating area in the back with three large round tables and 2 smaller rectangular tables. Takes the trouble and mess of having to eat in your car! There's also a sink available for use in the seating area, as well as a bathroom around the corner which I can appreciate. I'm not from the Oakland area, but I'd definitely come back here to get my taco fix! read more

If you're looking for a quick fix for tacos, this is your place! It's situated right across from Fruitvale Bart and the nice thing is that even though it's taco truck, there's an enclosed area behind with seating if you have time to stick around. The person working at the truck was very patient with my friends and I since it was our first time. I was really surprised by how many options of meat (and seafood) that they had, so I ended up being ambitious and taking 2 each of the lengua, asada, and pescado. They were all super tasty, but I'd have to say that the winner was the pescado. It's definitely not a Baja fish taco but I actually think I'd prefer their version of the pescado taco more as there was definitely a larger emphasis on the flavor of the fish rather than the sauces. Portions are HUGE and I couldn't ask for anything more for $2 a taco. Gotta mention that this place is cash only so come prepared with a full wallet and an empty stomach!!! read more
