I visited Oaxaca City in 2006, and the slow cooked (with a pineapple on top) al pastor street tacos…read morefor 11 MXN ($1) I ate while waiting for an overnight bus to the coast was life changing! I'll never forget standing around eating one after another between swigs of Modelo with friends... California tacos have always been generally great, but this place is special. Since Oaxaca, I've only had as good al pastor in Mexico City last year in a similar setting. So I'm super excited and grateful that Vallejo now has its own amazing popup serving these incredible tacos, and more. My husband is a burrito guy with a big appetite, yet the servings are so hearty he can only eat half in one sitting. And my al pastor tacos sent me back to that Oaxaca bus stop with adventures ahead. Sitting on a busy corner parking lot, this place is super popular so expect to wait, plus parking can be tricky. All said, the service is efficient and people are patient to wait for what they know is a good thing. While waiting you can bag up your own garnishes like pico, salsa, pickled peppers, sautéed or raw onions, and more. I saw some people enjoy their food in their cars, but both times we brought ours home since we live close and the packaging keeps everything together well. Truly the most authentic Mexican al pastor and more you'll find in Vallejo.

Then you have customers hyping it up before you order, making my mouth water drool but when you get your order and take a bite you like yuck This is not a 5 place neither is it worth 4 . At best it's rated a 1 . The food is not even seasoned. Yes it's big portions but no season in the taco meat. I got 4 asada tacos and 1 asada torta for the cost of $29 and both orders weren't seasoned. Service was low level. Ambiance is a parking lot. The music was the only thing that was good. I really can't believe people be so excited to be in line for unseasoned food. Never again. So yes this is not a place I'd recommend to anyone.

You'll find it at the ultimate Taqueria in Vallejo when you visit La Piñata Taqueria. I paid exactly $20 (after tax) for a ridiculously sized burrito that included EXTRA ASADA and some avocado, that as a whole, was nothing to laugh at. In 2026, this might be the ultimate deal you will come across without the requirement of a coupon. Parking is readily available, and you'll notice there's always people waiting for food: a sign the food is worth coming for. My food came with a small complimentary side of pickled carrots and peppers, some onions, two salsas, and a small bag of chips. This really truly is the best in Vallejo.

I used to come here after school exams for burritos and tacos. You can't go wrong with either, but I highly recommend the suadero, their rose meat. It is easily the best thing on the menu. The burritos used to be about 12 dollars and are now around 16, but the quality and portion still make it worth it. I recently came back after about a year and it tasted exactly the same. Their service is always quick despite the long line of people there. Their complimentary pickled onions, grilled onions, and carrots along with their homemade sauces really take the burritos and tacos to another level. They have added more seating so you can eat there fresh and hot. Parking is still tight with only a few spots nearby, but it is worth it for the food.

I ordered a super carne asada burrito with everything and was not disappointed. This is the right sized burrito for $10. When I got it opened up, the first thing I noticed was that it was really hot to the touch, which means they grill it after they roll it and then wrap it up. My first bite was mostly beans and rice, which worried me a bit, but after a couple bites, I was into the good stuff. The carne asada, combined with crema and chili, had great, authentic Mexican flavor. My wife and I split it, and it was plenty for both of us. It came with some chips and a little cup of salsa that wasn't that tasty, but I appreciate them throwing in some chips. Definitely would hit this truck again. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was parking lot with a view of interstate 80.

The crust was very thick & hard. For another $15 I bought a Peach Cobbler. The peaches seemed like it came from a can(since peach season doesn't begin until May-Sept.) I enjoyed this more than the Sweet Potato pie, but for $30 for 2 sample sized portions, unfortunately I'll have to pass.

He had whole peach cobbler pies and mini and regular size white sweet potato pies. The mini pies were about 5 inch in diameter and came 4 to a pack for $40(cash), $45 for credit card/Apple Pay. The whole pies are the same price and is about 10/11 inch in diameter. We purchased the whole white sweet potato pie and just tried a slice and it is outstanding!! Like Patrick told us, their pies have little sugar added (it did not taste and/or have a sweet aftertaste) and the crust was amazing with a crisp crunch and tasted like it was caramelized BUT not sugary sweet! We highly recommend this pie and plan to order the peach cobbler pie this weekend! He can deliver (East bay) or ship to you.

I waited 20 minutes in line to order (with just 6-7 people in front of me), then another 15 minutes for my order to be ready. Numbers were not even called in order. I got the carne asada quesadilla with no guac salsa, and the taste was fine but it was light on the cheese and the meat was on the dry side. Definitely not worth the wait or cost. Service wasn't very professional, and the quality of food was subpar, hence the 2 stars.

My honey and I started with a round of cheese zombies ($3/each) which were perfectly warmed, with a nice, slightly crisp outside and soft, gooey center. Later, we returned for a round of spicy sausage zombies ($5/each). Don't get me wrong, they were still tasty but I'm a bit of a zombie purist. I'll stick to the classic.
