Damn this had all the makings of a legit experience from a taco truck. -situated in a gas station lot. -plethora of dudes in day glow work gear always in and out. #knowwhattaimsayin -in an area that's no stranger to good taquerias/trucks. But after a couple of tries, there were just too many misses for me to be a regular here. I only tried their tacos, but I'll explain why they didn't hit for me. First the good. Their tortillas are good. They fry them in a little oil just the way I like them. It makes the tortillas a little more chewy, a little toasty and a lot tasty. Then they top every taco with a salsa according to which meat you chose. Their salsas are pretty legit and make their tacos quite "juicy". But their meats is where it falls for me. You see for a taqueria, the meats have to be seasoned on the aggressive side, so it punches you in the mouth, telling you that you're not there for health reasons, and that you're in a friggin' taqueria/truck. The meats here are very under-seasoned by taqueria standards, glaringly so. It made me feel like I was eating tacos from a hospital kitchen trying to limit my salt intake...not a fun ride. Carne Asada (3*) This was actually not too bad, it had a little seasoning and they grill it nice and brown, so that adds flavor. But it still needed a pinch of seasoning to make it come alive or give it some 'wow' factor. But nope. Very finely minced too, so it almost looks like ground beef. The good is the salsa absorbs nicely into the pulverized grilled meat. Carnitas (1*) Totally bland and because there was no salt to accentuate the pork flavor, it didn't have that "porkiness" that carnitas is so known for. The salsa helps a little, but you can't solely rely on that IMO. Felt bad for them cuz this is so easily fixed, and even more perplexing on why they chose this route. Chicharonnes (4.5*) This was my only hit here. Chicharonnes cooked into a salsa so it totally absorbs the sauce and rehydrates the chicharonnes. This is not the crunchy version. But the sauce was great and the texture was spot on. I would actually come back for this. Lengua (2*) Nothing wrong with the texture, spot on actually. But again, zero seasoning just made it taste like boiled beef. Again the salsa verde that tops, just couldn't elevate it enough. The crazy thing here is that they have a jar at the counter with salt packets to grab. Which I unfortunately didn't take advantage of, cuz I had no clue. You usually don't see this. So I almost think that they season this way on purpose, and allow you to season to your own taste. Fine, if I hired a dietician to prepare meals for me. But for a taqueria to impose it, is too much of a stretch for me. #sorrynotsorry
Great burritos and taco lunch spot!!! Edgar's food is authentic and his ingredients taste fresh. He nicely toasted my burrito and gave me some chips and salsa and GUACAMOLE!!! What do you say to that.. holy guacamole!!
Super friendly. Hands down one of the best veggie burritos I've ever had! Tasted really fresh
It was my first time trying this Foodtruck but let me tell you that they have the best quesabirrias and consomé (only Saturday's) and also they accept card. I highly recommend it
I passed by here twice always saw at least two people ordering from here. I hike at Dry Creek across the st so decided to give it a try. I got a super quesadilla de carne asada And a super burrito de carne asada With a horchata The quesadilla Was packed with meat! I prefer more cheese than meat but this wasn't bad! I like the sides it comes with. The burrito Although it was super it didn't have avacado lol But the beans were fresh rice was on point and I like thequality if meat. Will becoming back after my hikes teehee
Great food and affordable prices. Made fresh as you wait. For a quick bite at lunch time or even dinner, this truck makes delicious food. They offer a variety of meat choices. On busy days they run out of certain meats so get there early. From tacos to tortas with a mix of cold drinks your appetite can be satisfied. read more
I ordered the pastor and chicken sopes and the pastor was my favorite! The sopes had enough crisp to it and overall flavorful. We also had the asada torta and it was delicious as well. The worker there was by himself and was very friendly. Didn't have to wait too long as there were other customers there as well. The portion is pretty good for the price. There is one long table and a couple of seats if you'd like to eat there instead of togo. Would definitely come again and recommend my friends and family to come here! read more

Their food is so good. Their burritos are good, their quesadillas are good, and their Enchiladas are the best in Union City. Their service is really good too, the workers there are very friendly read more

I haven't been here in years so I decided to try this place again. Ordered a chicken burrito, but they were out of chicken, disappointing, so I got the steak instead and three steak tacos. Burrito was good but nothing spectacular. The tacos on the other hand were cold and bland. Although the meat was tasty but what ruined it was the corn tortilla. In a nutshell, the tacos taste like crap and my burrito was just ok. If this was the only taco truck in the world, only order the burritos here. Otherwise skip this place. read more
