The al pastor super burrito and quesbirria were out of this world good. They have two little picnic tables to eat there! Services about 10 minutes from order to food! I loved loved the food, blown away, go here.

Visited this location, Taco Truck, coming back from a getaway. Ordered 3 tortas with no chile/jalapeños. All three of the tortas came with Jalepeños. I cannot eat spicy so I went back. The lady who took our order had went to the nearby store so the lady cook came to the window. I told her I couldn’t eat the jalapeños, she asked me, rudely, if I could just take them off. No, i couldnt eat something that had jalapeños. She then said, well they are dry so you can just take them off. I told her no, she then told me there were no more tortas so there wasnt anything she could do. I asked her for a refund and she told me i had to wait for the cashier to come back, she then left the window. She came back shortly and asked if i had thrown it away, i told her no, it was right in front of me, she then told me to throw it away in the trash, probably assuming i was trying to get free food. She asked if the other 2 would be returning their food also and i said no, I told her we asked for all of them to be without and all of them had them but they were ok with it. The cashier finally came back and was very nice, she said she did ask if all of them were with everything and only put down that one was without, which was incorrect but whatever, she said they could remake the one without and we told her that the cook told us there was no more. She went to check and there was. The cook was just rude and unprofessional. So disappointed with how she handled It. The cashier though, she was alright.

Very polite, super happy and kind staff. Super clean truck. Gave my daughter a free quesadilla! We got a fajita bowl and it was delicious! Super yummy chicken with really good peppers, onions, rice and beans. Definitely going again soon!

I travel to go to this taco truck specifically. The best Mexican food out of anything I have had in the valley. Extra special truck with a full restaurant style menu. Do not pass this place by. Vegetarian and pescatarian options available.

I want to start with the food was decent, but the service is horrible and don’t go there unless you’re willing to take whatever they give you, not what you ordered. I recommend to double check your receipt to make sure they don’t up charge you too. Also, when you get your food, check that to make sure you got what you ordered. I see the complaints about the cook being rude and I can say that was my experience too. If she gets your order wrong, well tough luck, you’re going to get what they give you. I ordered a shrimp fajita burrito but was charged for a fajita bowl w/ shrimp which costs more than the burrito. I was actually impressed with the taco prices, $2.75 per taco (unless it’s cabeza which is more expensive and that isn’t what’s posted, so make sure to ask how much it is that day), so I took a look at my receipt and noticed that I was charged more and for the wrong order. I brought it to their attention and after a little, unnecessary, back and forth the cashier said they would make my burrito. (Also, have to mention they refused to give me a refund) Well, them making my burrito was a flat out lie. On my way to my car, after getting the order, I thought I should make sure they made it right. Well, they sure didn’t. They gave me the burrito bowl, without rice mind you because they had run out, and threw in a tortilla so could make my own burrito at home I guess. I even went back to talk to them about what they had done and the cook was extremely rude and super defensive. I guess she expected me to be happy that I spent my hard earned money on whatever they felt like giving me that day. I had to leave with what they gave me. Like I said the food was decent but I would never recommend them to anyone. I don’t even know why Ramos Family Farms would let them use their lot because they are great and do know what great customer service is. El Jacalito being associated with them definitely makes for a bad look, though. I plan on calling the county to make a complaint first thing tomorrow, because what they did just isn’t right and from the looks of some of the other complaints on here it wasn’t only us.

Heard great things about the restaurant so I came here to the truck . I didn’t even order because I came to the window and didn’t get a hi or any greeting . And I say “Hello is this the area where I order” and mind you when I walked up homegirl was on her phone .. I say “is this where I order “ and she’s laying her hands on her face and rudely points to the other side and says “no over there”
I walked away because I have never experienced that before in my life … not coming back sadly :/ 7/25 around 5 pm

Best food ever! I got the shrimp tacos and they were the best I’ve ever had. My husband got the California burrito and my son got the regular burrito and an horchata. We were all moaning. So good!

Stopped there once by chance when coming back from Yosemite. Intended to stop at the market next to it.
And what a gem.
From then made it a point to stop on each trip.
Last time we were a little late but called ahead and ordered some tacos. Told them we will be there 15 mins past closing time.
They took our order and waited for us!
Love this truck and the people.

Just what you need for an easy stop.
Our burrito and taco were served up in minutes with a BIG smile!
We had a carnitas taco and pastor burrito, both simple and satisfying. There were also a couple of benches out the back of the food truck to have your meal on. Would come back any day 🙂
