this is one of my favorite Mexican spots in the South Bay overall & for good reason-the consistency + quality of the food is unbeatable. service here is also incredibly nice, i like how they always reitereate my order just to make sure everything is correct. one of the things i feel is underrated here are the Quesadillas. i highly recommend ordering a Brisket Quesadilla (the meats here are so tender overall)! you also can't go wrong with the Tacos, although i do suggest ordering more than 2 as they are on the smaller side. for the tacos, i recommend Carne Asada & Al Pastor. FYI, Al Pastor comes w/ pineapples, but you can easily request it off if you prefer it without. the onions, cilantro, & radishes on the side complement the meats so well & i appreciate that they also double the tortillas, as they are generous with the portions they add. lastly, you have to get the orange sauce, definitely a welcome addition to any order & it has a bit of a spicy kick. only thing is that i wish they had some seating, but i tend to just eat my meals in the car or to-go my orders. definitely check this place out if in the Sunnyvale area! read more

Tarasco Taqueria - Carne Asada + Al Pastor Tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Really enjoyed my burrito from this taco truck. I got the Tarasco Burrito, which is essentially a Super Burrito with Grilled Onion, Grilled Jalapenño, and Pineapple added in. It also comes with two meats, so I went with Asada and Pastor. It came out pretty timely, and they threw in a bunch of different salsas on the side to try out. They all tasted great. No complaints here. Solid spot! read more

I've been on a bit of a taco kick and have driven by this truck many times, but never stopped. I stopped by today and ordered 3 tacos- suadero, pastor and asada. My tacos were ready in a reasonable amount of time and were hot and to go orders come as a styrofoam plate covered in foil. All three tacos had flavors and moist meat, cilantro and onions. The al pastor was my favorite- but all three tacos were good. As some other reviewers have mentioned the tacos run a little on the small side, so keep that in mind if you are ordering for a meal, and not a snack. This was my first time at Tarasco Taqueria, but I am pretty sure it won't be my last. If you pay with cash, you save a bit of money on the credit card processing fee read more

This is one of my lunch spots. I like the pastor burrito extra jalepenos. Buyer beware it's a burner!

Omg, their food is better than restaurant's. Biked around this area, found this food truck next to shell gas station and decided to try it. Ordered two tacos with tongue and beef tripe and a super quesadilla. Boy were they delicious! All was great except beef tripe taco had some fatty tissues. The chicken quesadilla was freshly made, warm and cheesy. They gave us condiments to go with food which added another layer of flavor. Friendly service. It truly made my day. read more

I did not have a good burrito and I found the tacos ok on my visit Their special Burrito Tarasco is a 2 meat super burrito with grilled jalapeños was probably the worst burrito I had. The two meats were nonexistent, rice was incredibly dry and undercooked and the salsa lacked flavor. Tacos were ok. I had a lengua and it had a strong livery taste and was super bland. I did appreciate the taste that they crisp their meat on the tastefully seasoned griddle. You wont see me coming back. read more

Definitely the best taco truck around. We love their brisket meat which goes well with whatever you order: tacos, burritos, vampiros, etc. They're quick to get the orders out. And their variety of salsas are delicious. read more

Solid tacos. The cabeza and lengua were flavorful and texturally pleasing. You know how sometimes lengua is chewy and cabeza is dry? Not here. Perfectly cooked. The tacos were smaller than average so i should have ordered another 1-2. read more

The problem with Yelp is that one cannot give half stars for the reviews and Tarasco is such a case. I had a hankering for street tacos and this truck was near home. Based on the reviews I decide to give it a try. When I arrived at the gas station, there was only two people in line and they were already getting their food. The menu is simple so I ordered two carne asada and two el pastor tacos. I think they raised their prices from $2.00 to $2.50. My total was $10. It took about 5 minutes for my order to show up and I asked for the pink and green sauces. Once home I poured the sauces on each of the tacos and found that the pink sauce went very well with the el pastor tacos. The carne asada seemed to stand better sans sauce. The pink sauce (as well as the green sauce) had a mild kick to it (as compared to another taco truck where the pink sauce will put a dent in your throat) and which I liked because one can enjoy the taste of the sauce on the food and not be trying to quench the fire in my throat. Overall it was a solid 4.5 star taco truck that I will visit again should the opportunity arise. read more

The Tarasco Taqueria is parked in front of a gas station. This is my New Mexican spot when I crave a good burrito. The burritos are a great size. They have some places that you can eat them at the food truck but we usually bring home the food. The tacos were a little on the smaller size but the Chorizo is one of the best we've ever had. The best part of the restaurants are the sauces the orange sauce is sooo goooodddd a must try! The price for the food is on the cheaper side and I really appreciate that. I hope you can give them a shot! read more

Don't knock it until you try it! This truck is parked at a Shell gas station, but makes really good burritos and tacos. The only complaint I have is that sometimes they don't roll the burritos tight enough so all the goodness inside the tortillas falls out. Their lengua is soft and carne asada is flavorful. Their orange sauce isn't spicy but a good addition to their food. It's nice that they accept both cash/credit card. Once you get your order in, the wait for the food isn't too long. read more

Nestled in the area of a gas station, as most taco trucks are, you will find this gem. Easily legible signs direct you to examples of the types of items they make, along with the combination of fresh meats. The staff is friendly and prompt, they helped me understand my salsa selections, so I made the best choice for my meal. Today I had 3 taco's Al Pastor, with everything. Avocado salsa to top it all off. They also had a good selection of bottle and can soda's to choose from. The meat was very well seasoned, and the portions were adequate. Paired with a small bottled Coke, I am now perfectly full. I recommend to try this location, and have an enjoyable meal as well. read more

I got the burro tarasco which contained pineapple, half al pastor, and half carne asada. The location is in a gas station parking lot and went here for a late night burrito craving. I would more give this place a 3.5 stars if I could. The burrito was an okay size, but flavor wise I felt it was kind of muddy in a sense and the meat bits were rather small. Because of the size of the meat, the burrito felt very one dimensional. Both salsa were okay, nothing too spicy or sour. read more

This food truck is parked by a shell gas station, along with one or two other food trucks. There's a small parking lot next to the gas station so plenty of parking. Menu has standard Mexican fare and prices are reasonable. I've only tried their tacos and flavors were great. Asada: 3.5/5 finely cubed beef. Not flavorful on its own but great in a taco. Pastor: 4/5 my favorite. It has a bit of crunchy ends and pineapple on top. Suadero: 3.5/5 shredded beef that's been chopped up. It's soft and flavorful and tastes very similar to the asada. Tacos' not overflowing with meat so you can pick it up and it's not messy to eat. Comes with onions and cilantro on top. Tastes best with their orange sauce! Green tomatillo sauce is just ok. read more

I came here hoping to get some Al Pastor that was cooked on the trompo, but they weren't doing it on the day I came. The al pastor here was pretty average. There was nothing about the marinade that stood out from other places. However, I love the tiny bits of pineapple on the top! The Lengua was also as expected and well seasoned. The Suadero was plain, but also could've used a hard sear like other places do. Orange sauce here is decent. It is on the sweeter and less smokey side. read more

I tried this location because the reviews looked great cause the reviews looked great.The gentleman was friendly. I ordered 2 tacos al pastor. Unfortunately, the meat was extremely tough and hard to chew like it had been sitting on heat waiting to sell for a long time. Maybe they had a bad day, but seeing the large amount of raw meat sitting in the sun out of refrigeration, I don't think I will give it a second try. read more

Loved the portioning, food was great. I'm big on salsas and they had 4 to choose from which all tasted great. The staff was awesome and felt like they make the food with love. Definitely going over on my lunch break again! read more

Food was cheap, no tax, priced as is, and very tasty! I ordered a Torta of carne asada (steak) and it was made with grilled queso fresco, lettuce, jalapeños and tomato. Their sauces on the side were very tasty, we got a chipotle sauce, green chili sauce and a habanero sauce to try. I can't even pick a favorite they were all a great topping. My boyfriend ordered a super quesadilla with chicken, although it wasn't very big, it was still tasty, but not filling. He got a torta afterwards to finish off! My mom ordered 4 tacos (2 de lengua, 2 de tripa) and a burrita de carne asada. She was in heaven to say the least! I am not from this area, but I would definitely come back to try more of their menu items. They are a hidden gem in Sunnyvale! It was so good we had to order seconds :) read more

Kept seeing this taco truck whenever I drive on Lawrence Expressway and the reviews for this place was nothing but positive ones. In addition, the price for a taco is only $2 which is considered very cheap so I decided to try this place out. Honestly, these tacos are not very filling. I usually order 4 wherever I go and I will be stuffed. However, I had a lot of room left. They also don't give a lot of cilantro and onion. They do however give a good amount of lemon and the radish is good. As for the protein, you can pass on the asada and tripas. The asada had a very chewy texture and tripas were very small. However, i was surprised by how good the pastor, lengua, cabeza, and suadero tasted. Many places don't do a good job on these items but this place did well. For the salsa, definitely get the green. You can skip on the infamous orange sauce everyone talks about in the reviews. I didn't find this sauce any good. It in fact overpowers the protein that you can't really enjoy the whole flavor of the taco. This place is also pretty cheap when you ask for more salsa. I ordered 10 tacos and they only provided 2 green and 2 orange salsa. When i asked for more, they told me to pay $25 cents (per cup). They also don't fill up the whole cup. It was like half full. I was a bit disappointed. If you just want cheap tacos, this is the place but if you care more about the flavor and quality of the tacos, you can pass! read more

It was not bad, but it wasn't your authentic greasy burrito that you'd expect from a food truck. I missed having cilantro and onions, a dollop of crema/sour cream, oozy cheese all bundled up amongst meats, rice and beans. It was good for a quick little bite, but not the satisfying 'rito that I was hoping for. YaDig read more

Tarasco Taqueria - "Super" Burrito - Food Trucks Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I specifically asked for guacamole and sour cream on my burrito. There was none. The carne asada tacos and pastor tacos were average. I did like that the sauce automatically came on the side. read more

If you're looking for the best tacos in the area, these aren't even close. But if you're looking for some cheap and decent tasting tacos, these might fit the bill just fine. The asada was well-seasoned but chewy. I had to shake my head like a dog to rip some bites off. The pastor was a bit dry, however the pineapple helped to compensate. The suadero was pretty good but nothing mind-blowing. The cabeza and lengua were my favorites here - very tender and flavorful. But the tripas was a tad overdone and some bites were just way too hard on my teeth. Portions on the meat and salsa are pretty stingy. Normally 5 tacos from most other places fill me up, but I was still pretty hungry after eating 6 from here. Also, we were given only two tiny cups of green salsa (each cup was half filled and barely even enough for just TWO tacos) even though we ordered over 10 tacos! When we asked for another cup, we were told it'd be an additional charge. Wow.. never been treated like this at any other taco joint, so it was sorely disappointing. Luckily the prices are relatively cheap, but the quality is overall mediocre and the portions are kind of a joke. I would personally recommend dishing out the extra few cents to get a much better taco experience elsewhere. read more

I wish I found this place earlier because the food here is delicious. We were craving Mexican food for lunch last week. Usually I'm intimidated by food trucks since I don't want to struggle looking for the location but I decided to take a leap of faith. I got an al pastor burrito for myself and 5 chicken tacos with a carne asada burrito for my coworkers. My coworkers knew I loved that burrito because they did not hear a peep from me the whole time I was eating. The burrito had a perfect ratio of everything - tender marinated meat, thicker cut tomatoes in pico de gallo, and such fluffy savory rice. It paired beautifully with their orange sauce - creamy, smoky, and spicy. Delicious! Even my coworkers loved their food so I will def be back. read more

Asada, and Al Pastor tacos are hella good. Their Vampiros are also pretty good, but I would stick with their tacos instead. Their Maiz Quesadillas were delicious, I added Al Pastor to mine. Service was friendly! read more

I've visited Tarasco Taqueria a few times since writing my review and I'm happy to note that their truck still serves great mexican food at inexpensive prices. I've gotten burritos and tacos from them so far. I was impressed by the asada burrito. The burrito is stuffed well and I think the ratio of each ingredient is perfect. I like that they didn't skimp on the cheese and the asada meat is delicious. I also enjoyed having their spicy salsa to use. It really hits the spot. I also had three tacos recently as well. I got the brisket, asada and al pastor. I think the brisket (suadero) is the most flavorful of the three meats that I tried. Overall, I recommend coming here when you're in the neighborhood and during both of my recent visits, I got the food to go. It held up great. :) read more

5 stars for a food truck. Food was good, staff was nice and prices inexpensive. I ordered 2 Carne Asada Tacos and 2 Al Pastor Tacos. I read so much about the orange sauce on Yelp that I had to ask for it. The presentation of the food was surprisingly nice. The tacos are slightly plain (no pico de gallo) but once the orange sauce is added, they were delicious. I loved the chunks of pineapple on the Al Pastor. At $2 a taco, that is inexpensive . Cost $11.50 for 4 tacos & 1 jarritos soda. Can't beat that deal. I will be back! read more

This food truck deserves more love, and I mean much, much more. The only burrito I'll ever crave or would want to get in the South Bay. It almost feels like they read your mind and knew exactly what you want without having to tell them yourselves. I always go for the Burrito Tarasco (because it comes with guac and all the good stuff) with half Cabeza & half Lengua. Orange and green sauce are a MUST. Pay for more sauce if you're a sauce person like me. I need the entire orange & green sauce container to myself (I don't share, heh). We used to go here at least once a week then stopped so we can cut back on the Covid-20lbs. But when we do sneak it into our diet once in a while... its worth each and every single extra mile that we would have to spend on the treadmill. read more

Brisket tacos. Never found these anywhere else. Delicious; the brisket has a stronger beef flavor and the texture of stringy soft beef with small chunks of fat in it. The fat allows it to caramelize crispy if there isn't a line and they have time to cook it longer. Pigged out and ate 6 of these! Couldnt stop eating them. Sauces all good. Brisket more expensive to work with than Asada. read more

Do not come here. I just don't understand man. Like many trucks in the Bay Area, the burrito fell apart instantly, the meat was lukewarm and pretty hard, which I do not like. Asada and pastor were very, very underwhelming. Both were dry, chewy and flavorless. Also what's this difference where every taco truck in LA shaves their Pastor off the spit (so so good, moist & tender) and everywhere here in Bay just gives it like typical chopped up meat (leading to tough bits to chew and waaay less flavor & tenderness) Honestly Bay Area food as a whole is ROUGH. There's maybe a few decent spots, but it's mostly ABSOLUTE grenades. Not like where I'm from sadly. I can't imagine growing up here and never leaving just for the culinary part itself, my god. read more

Located at the Shell gas station. One of the best burritos I've had in a while. Better than some restaurants. Ordered the carne asada and carne asada tarasco burrito. Tarasco includes grilled onions, peppers and pineapple. Burritos come standard with refried beans, rice, pico de gallo and fresh avocado inside. Burritos were freshly made, hot and delicious. Filling ratio was perfect and no fillers to plump up the burrito. Loved the avocado sauce. It was tangy and spicy. First time here and will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. Park in the adjacent plaza's lot and wait for your food. It's quick. Cash only. Too hungry didn't take photos but the burrito looked like other photos posted by others. read more

I thought the food was not good. The brisket and chicken were very dry. The steak was okay at best. I was more upset at how the prices do not reflect the menu. I paid $19 for a super quesadilla and two tacos.... And the prices show $10.75 for the quesadilla and 2.75 for the tacos. So I'm Not sure where they got 19 from. read more

I don't know what it is, but it's the most flavorful burrito I've ever had that will satisfy but also not leave you in a food coma. Balanced, no grease, cleanest burrito.

Bombass f*king tacos. Don't be intimidated that it's from a truck parked at a Shell gas station, you know when it's legit when it has a line on a Sunday night. Also, where in CA can you find $2 tacos anymore??? Pricing is so cheap for such filling tacos! I got the tripas, cabeza, and suerdo tacos. So freakin' delicious, especially the tripas, not dry at all and extreme umami flavor!! They have a small seating area next to the truck which was nice. Definitely will come back here whenever I'm back in the bay. read more
