The cashiers here are friendly and lately they've been giving grilled onions with the tacos although I didn't get any tonight. They have three types of salsas, pickled onions, cucumbers/radishes, and limes that you help yourself to. This taco truck is on a street that's not too busy. There are short stools on the side for those who want to eat there. The area around the truck is clean. There's also a parking lot right next to it that you can park at. It's one of my favorite taco spots and I try to satisfy my craving whenever I'm in the area. Will definitely be back again soon!

Upon walking up to their food truck, there was a family who brought their own chairs to camp out and enjoy their tacos fresh. I also noticed how they have a good selection of salsas, onion, cilantro, and accompaniments for the tacos for self serve. I really like the straight forward pricing. Tacos are only $2! You pick the protein. The cashier was friendly and efficient. My boyfriend had the Cabaza and Suadero Tacos and I went with an Al Pastor Taco. We got this additional foil pouch of tasty grilled onions, which were a nice surprise. Yum! They were pretty good for $2s. Not saying they're the best but they were convenient and good value. I would consider coming back if they were nearby and I need a quick snack. I'll have to try more of their proteins next time.

The shrimp may be my favorite with carne asada a close second. Also, I normally steer clear of chipotle aioli because it usually just tastes of mayo, but the sauce here is very balanced and chipotle forward. Nice picnic tables here or even better take it to the parklet right outside the lot.

Great outdoor seating in a bar next door with its own brewery. They have a deal going so you can use that place. Sat in a cool outdoor patio area with fake grass and a nice fence. Nice shade.

Since it was affordable and I wanted to try all the vegan and vegetarian ones, I went ahead and ordered all three. I'm glad I did, because the tacos are small, so you really do need to order more than one to get full. When I placed my order, the cashier gave me a magnet. It made me laugh because they kept calling my name only to tell me it wasn't ready yet. The third time they called my name, it was finally ready. It seems that they were trying to get everything just right because when I finally did get my order, it was colorful and beautifully presented. It tasted great as well. When I went, the food truck was parked in front of Sooki Studio & Supply which had nice seating areas where people could eat. I got curious as to what "cazuela" means and apparently, it's a type of stew.

The woman working was super nice and I asked her to make me two of her best things. She asked and I said there wasn't anything I didn't like. The beef and chicken tacos came up quickly and I decided to sit in the sun and drink my ice cold soda and dig into the gorgeous tacos! So pretty! I love when a place puts the extra effort in as that seems rare these days. I ate the chicken first and it was delish - but I saved the best for last / the pork taco was probably the best one I've ever had / especially with the added home made hot sauce that I was warned packed quite a punch. Happy for the warning I only used a few drops and it was taco perfection. Wil definitely be back to try them out again / the taco shells were home made as well - and blue!

Surprisingly, the food here actually surpassed my expectations. If you love Japanese food, you have to try the food here. Dishes were almost on par with fine dining, but at lower costs. My favorite items were the fish tempura, scallops, and uni with sweet potato. Everything was delicious, and reminded me of being in Japan. The only thing that was a little inconvenient was the parking. It's street parking, no parking lot or valet available. The restaurant is tiny so make sure you make reservations in advance, unless you come here outside of regular dining hours. The interior is very simple, so if you are looking for somewhere fancy looking, this is not it.

The broth had yuzu and a hint of tea flavor. The texture was perfectly chewy--totally approved by this Northerner (I know my noodles!). Overall, very refreshing for the heat. The owner told me later that these noodles are actually from their spring special menu and will be gone by the end of the month. So lucky I got to try them while they lasted

But that smoked salmon just threw everything off. You could tell by the way it tasted, the way it was cut, etc. This either needs to be taken off the menu or upgraded to actual sushi grade salmon.

The Bucket was one of my favorite places to get a filthy burger, and in Eagle Rock, several of my favorites could be found, such as Original Tommy's Hamburger, The Oinkster, and Pete's Blue Chip. A very good friend of mine recently mentioned that this place had reopened and enjoyed a burger without inviting me! So, I had to see and taste for myself. If I remembered correctly, they had been closed for a while, and then I guess got resurrected. Apparently, they had been around since 1935, and when I started eating here, they had hilarious burger names, such as Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attack... you got the idea. Would this bucket contain all of the fond memories of years past!? PURCHASE(S) Firestone Walker Brewing Co. Trumer Pils German Pilsner Beer 4.9% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Clear amber color, cider hoppy aroma, low body, crisp light hoppy flavor, smooth finish, and dry light hoppy aftertaste - a very easy brew. Double Western Burger ($10.35): A simple burger made with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion rings, and BBQ sauce all between a fluffy bun, this messy two-hander was strong with its thick patties and stuff squeezing out all over the place. This was a finger-licking good burger at a really nice price! [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings w/Aiolo Dipping Sauce 7pc ($5.65): A small portion with rings of large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the aioli helped to give them more flavor. Mango Habanero Hot Wings & Veggie Sticks w/Bleu Cheese Dipping Sauce 6pc ($8.25): Somewhat small drummetes and wingettes, there was just enough tender meat on the bones while the mango habanero sauce was surprisingly hot and sweet, I also used the very tame bleu cheese sauce although it wasn't needed. The veggie stickers were small, fresh, and helped to cleanse the palate. At about $1.38/piece, it was a relatively good deal and tasty for what you got. SERVICE You had the option to order at a kiosk or with a friendly young man at the order window (I chose the latter). He easily and quickly took my order, gave me my beer while I waited, and less than ten minutes later, everything was packed up and ready to go - easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I found a spot in their tiny lot (less than five spots). Otherwise, there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Eagle Rock Blvd. (be sure to read all posted signs) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Basically a takeout business with a handful of communal metal tables, chairs, and some barstools in an outdoor covered patio with a lone order window. This was very barebones, rustic, and practical. There was plenty of natural lighting while some electric lights filled in the rest with some possible help from the nearby street lights. There was one TV but no background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was very glad to see that The Bucket had returned (when, I had no idea), and I planned to reacquaint myself with their entire menu. Speaking of the menu, it now had a Mexican portion (burritos, tacos, tortas) that I didn't recall from previous times; furthermore, their burger selection has been scaled back with none of the earlier-mentioned burgers that led you closer to a hospital visit. Regardless, the food was very good, affordable, no frills, and the service was straightforward. Plus, I always preferred to give my business to local small mom & pop businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $34.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

My buddy got to Smashburger and he loved it. He also got the Americano fries. Bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, ranch dressing. I had some. YUM! No inside seating, but their outside seating is nicely shaded and they have fans. Service was super friendly and quick. They went out of their way to accommodate me.
