This is some legit and hearty birria. We loved how generous they were with the fillings where both the tacos and ramen were loaded with tender meat and other toppings. The consomme on the side was deep and flavorful with the right amount of fat to coat the tacos well. Great amount of melted cheese in the tacos too. Definitely recommend if you ever run into this truck in your area! read more

I've seen TaKoz Mod Mex a few times and really didn't think anything of it. Let's be real, there is no shortage of trucks dishing out the same kind of foods. Thanks to my daughter's school event, I was able to give them a try. The menu has all the items you would typically expect: quesadillas, tacos, burritos, & nachos [but made with fries]. Purchases: *Mexican Soda [Jarritos- which flavors sold out quite quickly] *Quezadilla w/ Carne Asada *3 Takoz Your Choice- beef, chicken, pork Food was good. Meats were seasoned very well, meats were not overcooked/dry, and portions were absolutely generous. Cost is kind of on the higher end but you are not being served food packed with cheap fillers. As a fair warning, once you start to eat it becomes very hard to stop. 5/5 stars. The lines were long but for good reason. I'd easily eat here again. The Nacho Libre Fries looked soooo good- I might have to try that next time. read more

These guys were outside of Pour Decisions today so we grabbed a bite. The line was short which was nice so our order was ready in under 15 minutes. Here's what we got: PIZZADILLA - this was smaller than I thought but ended up being large enough to feed the 3 of us who weren't starving. The meat was super tender and the tortilla was crisp and yummy. I wished there was a little more heat and a bit more tang to cut the richness of the meat and cheese. The fresh lime squeeze was nice. It was also pretty greasy but that added to the flavor. BIRRA FRIES - These weren't my favorite. Kinda one note IMO but cooked well. Would have liked more gooey cheese and again, something to brighten it up a bit. Maybe a lime cilantro crème or something and more of the mango salsa. It was just a lot of fries under the meat. Overall the service was great and quick for being made fresh to order. It would have been nice to have had paper plates and lots more napkins because there is no real way to share without making a mess. I also would have liked more salsa but it sounded like they were running low so no extras were available. This would be outstanding bar grub so maybe next time I'll try it with a beer! read more

First time trying this food truck. Also first time trying the Melita which is braised beef with cheese stuffed between 2 toasty crispy tortillas. It's like gourmet quesadilla. Really good seasoning on the braised beef. It had the flavor of roasted chilis and maybe cumin. The beef looked fibrous but so soft and not dry at all. The tortilla's crispiness was the perfect compliment to the saucy beef. The tortillas had some charred spots which added another layer of flavor with slight bitterness and grilled smokiness. Lots of cheese which helped balance the savory taste of the meat. A very slight spicy kick from the meat. If you prefer it more spicy, you can drizzle the chipotle Sriracha sauce that it came with. Price was $8, so reasonably priced. It was filling and make the taste buds happy and satisfied. Didn't wait long for the food. The staff who took the order was nice. Will definitely try the other items on the menu next time. read more

Love the birria tacos! There was A TON of meat in them, and definitely filling for my husband and me. Comes with limes and radishes plus lots of cilantro and two salsas. We liked the creamier of the two. The tacos are red corn and pleasantly crunchy...check out Strike Brewing's food truck lineup to plan your visit around this place :) read more

Pros: - Food is amazing! The Ramen, the tacos, and the fries... so amazing! The tacos was the highlight for me with the amount of meet and the hard shell. So good! - Price is very fair and not outrageous like most food trucks - Friendly service - They give you 4 different salsas and generous amounts of food that comes out quick. Cons: - Got the food at Clandestine! So it was great to be near a brewery to drink and eat their food. However, could be hard to find if you don't catch them at the right place - Mainly have Beef- Would be great if they can expand to chicken or pork (carnitas or al pastor would be awesome!) Overall - Place is awesome and would definitely order from them given the opportunity! read more

Had a free Saturday and saw that they are where strike brewing is at and figured it would be a great day for birria and beer. I got tacos, a burrito, the fries, and birria ramen. Fries I dropped off to a friend but she said they were bomb! The Birria ramen and a few tacos was for my roommate who never had birria before and he loved it as well. The burrito was huge! And I have to say one of the best things about this place is their salsas! Just got their pizzadilla today and it was delicious. I think their price range for their food is really good. read more

These days birria tacos are all the hype and with many places selling them it can be a little overwhelming. To make it easy for you, the birria tacos from Takoz Mod Mex are where you should get your birria from. The tortillas were crispy, the meat was tender, and the consomme was sooo flavorful. I didn't try the quesabirria because I wanted something a little bit lighter but I still felt like I wasnt missing out. These were delicious. read more

Soooooo goooood. I crave them all the time. I've tried literally everything on their menu and nothing is bad. The service is fast, too. Even on busy nights I wait no longer than 20 minutes total. Also the price is amazing compared to other birria trucks in the area. I can't say much about the location because it changes frequently. That's the only downfall is you have to watch Instagram the morning of to see where they will be if there even open at all. Quesabirria and pizzadilla are the favorites. Make sure to ask for extra consome! So good you can basically drink it alone. read more

Yummmm!!! I visited TaKoz food truck during Facebook's Summer Jam party. There were a row of food trucks, and TaKoz was at the very end, not much of a line. I was a bit skeptical to get it, but when Allen saw the menu, he knew he wanted the knockout burrito. +100 SERVICE was great! Owner talked to us, and told us what sauces to use. I was craving some fries, but was too afraid to get a whole order, so the owner was really nice and got me a small tray of it to try. No salt, and super delicious! +100 PRICING/MENU. Yay! Super affordable, and HUGE portions! Everything on the menu looked amazing. We ordered: 1) Knockout Burrito // HALLELUJAH. AMAZING. 3 types of meat, fries, an egg...YUM. Reminds me of good ol' Vallarta (in SD). I wish it had guac, but WHATEVS. It's so good! Would totally get this again. Unfortunately they don't have a brick and mortar, but seems like they are working on it! For now, they just go around south bay. Go give them a try! read more

Best Mexican food I've ever had!!! I have had Mexican food from over 30 food trucks in the Bay Area - Takoz ModMex is by far my absolute favorite! Excellent meat, seasoned perfectly, gorgeous flavors.....just that "little extra something" that puts it over the top. The owner is a Chef, and makes all of his own sauces and seasonings. Family owned, and lovely people. read more

Not so vegan friendly. Service was super nice and friendly. They made fun of me for not being able to handle their mildest sauce without sweating profusely in January winter air. Naked burrito bowl without cream cheese, sour cream, or creamy chipotle sriracha sauce, and rice - They made a really nice healthy salad out of the remaining ingredients. Tomatoes and vegetables were fresh and juicy. There were heavy, thick layer of black beans underneath that I wanted to be saltier. Next time order - Veggie tacos. read more

I was a Bad Man Thing Coming rolling around in my Work Whip Big Ken. I was on my way to Off The Grid !!! Luckily their in Sunnyvale which is in range of my ANKLE BRACELET .LOL. Theirs plenty of Parking at Off The Grid . So I stashed Big Ken very easily . I street hiked to Off The Grid . There was a good turn out of Food Trucks and Folks . So I started Perusing Food Trucks and Menus . Takoz Mod Mex caught my Eye . I Perused the Menu and then I saw the Knock Out Burrito -Rice , Black Beans , 3 Meats , Jack Cheese , Fried Egg , French Fries , Chipotle , Siracha Sauce and Mango Sauce. This Sounded Like a Bomb Of Flavors and Food Coma waiting to Happen!!! This Baller On A Budget and Bad Man Thing Coming being from East Oakland and Jingle Town makes me a Tough Critic when it comes to Burritos . It takes a lot to Wow me . I've had a lot of Good Burritos in my Day. So I ordered a Knockout Burrito !! I asked the guy in the Food Truck if the Burrito was Big ? He replied it was a good sized one. I chilled out for 7 minutes . Then My number was called I went to Pickup my Burrito and I was Impressed . It was as big as my Arm . I grabbed a few Vials of Salsa and made my way to the Sitting Area at Off The Grid. My Knock Out Burrito was Tightly and Well Wrapped !!! I unwrapped the Aluminum Foil from around the Burrito . I heard the Bell for Round One and took my First Bite out of the Knockout Burrito and was Hit with a Left Hook of Flavor !!! Damn that Sucker was Tasty !!! Each Bite was a Punch Of Flavor !!! Till I took the last Bite and that was the Knockout Punch . That Damn Burrito put me in a Food Coma for Hours !!! It Certainly Put that Knock Out Punch on This Bad Man Thing Coming !!! LOL .

Best Birra tacos! Stumbled upon this food truck after an appointment and have been craving these tacos ever since! Delicious, fresh, fantastic Birra meat. First time. Trying Birra tacos and we are hooked. Hope to find their restaurant or truck again read more

The concept is cool but nothing out of the ordinary because almost anything "fusion" if done right can be awesomely delish plus there are tons of food trucks doing the same thing nowadays. I was on lunch and was about to go on a walk around the building like I usually do but I heard my name so I turned and saw my former coworker from Extreme Networks. I didn't want to eat because a) I didn't want to spend and b) I didn't want the calories but he talked me into trying a chicken taco (w/ the mandarin orange). I forgot how the slaw tasted (my fault for waiting weeks to write this review) however, I do remember the chicken being a little greasy. I don't know the purpose for the orange wedge (I don't eat fruits or as my boyfriend would say, "You don't eat anything healthy") but overall the taco was OK. The presentation was very nice.. I go after food trucks. Heck, I have a few of the schedules memorized (Mogo's, OMNinja, Mayo and Mustard, Chairman Bao, etc.) but the one thing I told them is that they must be able to accept Visa/MC. I'm sorry but I don't carry cash so whenever I see "Cash Only", I get turned off almost immediately. read more

Saw this awesome truck with great graphics at Movable Feasts, since my brother and I were looking for purely Mexican styled food versus Mexican Asian fusion we decided to try TaKoz out. Since we ordered many other things at the truck meet, we decided to go with their beef El TaKo and a Coca Cola. It's the name of the truck so why not? The beef taco came out on corn tortillas, beef, corn, lettuce and a wedge of lime. I doused it with their chipotle sauce. I thought the marinade for the beef was on the sweeter side and the lime definitely accented the taco, the beef was also really tender. I thought the corn was a bit strange as it seemed more like a southwest signature, but I suppose that's what the "Mod" part of their taco is. From the looks of their orders looks like their "takoz" are a hit, but I think I still prefer either authentic or Mexican Asian fusion. read more

When I arrived at work I saw this food truck in the parking lot and decided to check it out since I had not eaten lunch yet. Their menu is pretty good and has all the basics like tacos, burritos, and burrito bowls. All there items I felt were reasonably priced which was nice. I decided to try there Nacho Libre Fries with Chicken. Let me start by saying these nacho fries were delicious there layered with Monterey cheese at the bottom and then covered in nacho cheese. It comes with cilantro and jalapenos which added a really nice flavor. The is chicken marinated in their house sauce and the chicken was tender and juicy. The serving size was large which was nice and it was priced just right. They also have a mini salsa bar I tried the Spicy Mango, and the chipotle-based sauce both were really good. The Spicy Mango is on the sweet and spicy side, while the chipotle sauce was creamy which went amazing with the french fries. My only complaint was that the food was a bit to salty, my co-worker had the burrito and also said it was a bit on the salty side. Overall, This little food truck packs a nice punch and If I see it in the area I would stop by again. read more

So this taco truck came to our apartment complex. I did my research on the menu previously so I would know what to order. To my surprise, the menu was a little different. The website said they had tortas, which they didn't not. It also said they had churros, they didn't have that either. I was not in the mood for cooking tonight so we had it anyway. I ordered a regular chicken burrito. I have to say it was pretty good. With the chipotle sauce (bottom) pic. The mango sauce was okay, not bad though (top). They both gave the burrito more flavor, however, they are not spicy. The burritos taste sort of like chipotles chain, since the rice is white and the beans are black. I felt like I was eating a semi healthy burrito haha. I'd eat here again (if I didn't feel like cooking). I would rate this place a 5 if the menu was actually what it said online since I was REALLY looking forward to a torta and a churro!!! read more

I ordered 1 'El Beef Tako' for $3. The taco was topped with a lot of arugula but underneath all the leafy greens was a whole lot of beef. The meat was good, but it contained a lot of fatty pieces which I am not a fan of. I was given a piece of lime which was dry and contained no juice; served no purpose. I did, however, appreciate the guy who told me there was no salsa on my taco and offered some sauce/salse suggestions. I took a side of their creamy chipotle sauce which was mild, not spicy at all. It definitely added some flavor to the taco. Overall, it was a small 'tako' that filled me up, nothing special- I may try other things on the menu someday. read more

Okay but not the best. I ordered the " knockout burrito" which was stuffed with carne asada, pastor, pollo, black beans, rice, and french fries. My son loved it and I was,"meh." I wouldn't call myself a burrito expert, but I know that his burrito was no match for a standard San Jose burrito that can be bought at any mercado. Here's a hint to all food trucks that serve burrito's in San Jose: 1. You need to being it 2. Read number 1 My son gives them a perfect five out of five. I give them a two. So the final verdict is that they are a three star mexican food truck. read more

TaKoz Mod Mex is my fiance's favorite food truck so naturally I had high expectations and I knew I had to try them when they came to my workplace in Palo Alto. I'm happy to report that TaKoz Mod Mex did not disappoint. I ordered two veggie tacos and one beef taco ($9 for three tacos). Only a few minutes after ordering, my tacos were ready. They certainly looked healthier (and more beautiful) than your average tacos because they were covered with fresh arugula and cilantro. I love me some greens so I was very happy about this though I know some people find arugula to be too bitter. My coworker doesn't like it so she asked them to leave it off and they ended up giving her some extra veggies on the side... nice of them! The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors were remarkable. The veggie tacos had an assortment of poblano peppers, shiitake mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes topped with plenty of arugula, cilantro and sweet roasted corn. These were not the lackluster vegetarian tacos that I'm used to. I enjoyed them so much that I almost wished I had ordered one more. The beef taco was also on point with plenty of flavorful carne asada. My fiance would order their burrito when they'd come to Off the Grid Cupertino in the past and he raved about it every time. I hope to see them around more! read more

These are the best tacos I've tasted in a long time. If you're craving a new version of taco this is the place to go!

great to see them at Vasona. tasty birria burrito, with the extra cheese made crispy. same for quesabirria taco. orange and red sauces to add. of course it's oily and this is not healthy food but very flavorful, packed with juicy beef and reasonable price. read more

I was in a keto diet at the time and didn't want to eat tortillas. I asked if they can make me a bowl of birria which they happily obliged. Many restaurants say they only do what's in the menu so it was awesome to see they were happy to do a custom order like that. Birria was amazing. Also had their Birria tacos and quesabirria before and it was delicious! read more

Tried this taco truck while also checking out the new narrative fermentation brewery (replaced Sara Clara brewery). 4 stars only because the fries weren't fully cooked and the birria tostada was burnt, but besides those minor things, the birria has good flavor. We tried 4 salsas and they are spicy! So if you like spicy and can hang, try them. Collectively we rated it 7/10. read more
