My go to truck for tacos and tortas, but everything on their menu is great. The guac salsa they make is so spicy and delicious. At its peak hours you will have to wait a while but the food is worth it. Parking is the only downside.

Be ready to wait on some amazing food! Don’t give a bad review over how long you have to wait, when the food is this delicious, your going to have to wait…!! ♀️ OMG.. literally the best tacos you can find in all of California! I wish I had one of these trucks at my house. So amazing I can’t even eloquently express the amazingness that are these tacos! So, we are back again because it was so amazing we had to get back here to have more. Wild fires or not… Give me these tacos now!! Literally think of them all of the time and so thankful to be having more!!!

Great taste at the right price. No real vegan or other diet-specific options. The prices aren’t written down, but it was inexpensive. The flavors were great.

This is probably the best authentic food truck tacos I’ve had in CA. Some of the best tacos in OC, for sure. The cesina (thin carne asada) is one of my favorites. The tripa well done is great. A word of caution though, the green salsa here is really hot even for me. Just take too much at once or it’ll burn your mouth. A little splash per taco. Also their quesadillas are eye catchy cause there so big. The staff is so cool. Santa Ana has the best Mexican food and this place is no exception.

Let’s face it, it seems everyone and their hermano has a taco truck serving a great “Taco Al Pastor” these days. So when Albert Hernández decided to start his taco truck in Santa Ana, he deliberately chose to paint the truck “Cadillac pink” so that “Alebrije’s Grill” would stand out from all of the other taco trucks. To further differentiate Alebrije’s Grill, Hernández served something that no other truck was serving at the time: Cuernavaca’s legendary “Taco Acorazado.”
Taco Acorazado translates to “Battleship Taco” and is named such because so much food is stacked into the taco that the whole thing visually resembles a battleship. The thick corn tortilla has more of the appearance of a flatbread than what you would traditionally expect a corn tortilla to look like. Directly on top of it sits a mound of fluffy short-grain rice simmered in caldo de tomate and spiked with corn kernels, chopped carrots, and peas scattered throughout. Accompanying the rice are sautéed onions and nopales (chopped cactus pads), sliced tomatoes, avocado chunks, cotija cheese, and a grilled jalapeño. And then there’s a full meal’s worth of “milanesa de res,” a kind of Mexican “chicken fried steak” where a cut of beef is pounded until it is flat and thin, then dunked in egg batter, rolled in breadcrumbs, and fried. The result is tender, yet crispy; beefy, yet bread-y; salty yet subtle.
As one may guess from its name, milanesa is not indigenous in Mexico, but rather has come up through Central America after being brought to Argentina and Uruguay by Italian immigrants. The Italians invented it as “cotoletta alla milanese” in the 12th century, though the Austrians were the first to popularize this style of food using a boneless cut of meat, which we all know today as “schnitzel,” and is closest in spirit to the buttery, boneless milanesa that has become part of Mexican cuisine. When it is done right, I can’t think of much else I would rather eat. Here, the individual pieces are very thin and lean, but still packed with beef flavor.
A squeeze of lime and liberal use of the smoldering, smoky salsa roja are the right condiments for this. You must use a fork to eat away about 80% of the mountain of food in this taco before you can pick up the real buried treasure underneath: the aforementioned beautiful tortilla, sweet and chewy, drenched in grease and sauce and charred bits of meat and vegetables. It’s something that will ruin all other tortillas for you for a while.
And, yes, I also had Alebrije’s Grill’s “Al Pastor Taco,” a fine rendition of al pastor pork: sweet, saucy, pleasantly fatty, and mixed with a few pineapple chunks. It also benefits greatly from a squirt or two of the salsa roja. Alebrije’s Grill’s Al Pastor taco is good enough to probably have made this truck successful all by itself, but it is made unnecessary by the Taco Acorazado being more than enough for a meal.

This place is really good. Be it I’ve only tried their mushroom tacos but my kids said the carne asada tacos were super good. I love that they give you some catus too. The green salsa is really hot and I love it so much. The prices are not out of control and the people are pretty friendly. I’ve already went been back 3 times!!

Found this place thanks to Google maps and the reviews and I’m pleased that I did. The tacos are amazing. It can get busy and there might be a wait for your food, but it is completely worth it.

Great taco truck. Cash only. Lots of meat, the tortillas had a nice texture (not soft and mushy).
Very affordable, 6 massive tacos for $13.
