All I wanted was a wet burrito. They charged me $1.50 to make my burrito wet and when I went back home (I live 15 minutes away) the burrito was plain. The burrito was even wrapped like a wet burrito would. A plain burrito is usually just foil wrapped but it was foil wrapped on a plate so it would have been kind of bizarre to open up the foil to check if it was wet… Right as I saw this I called them just to pretty much tell them about it because they pocketed $1.50 on their already overpriced food. The guy on the phone obviously couldn’t give two and a half shits and said oh man just come in anytime and we can make it right… well I would think about coming back if I was paid to eat it, because the food was real average for Mexican food. Their “plain” burrito was alright. You can’t go wrong with beans, rice, tortilla, and passable Asada. Nothing special about this place, it’s overpriced and they’re using their positive yelp reviews to hype up their prices. I paid almost $3 for a shrimp taco and it was the size of your palm(think of the size of a third graders hand…) Their tacos are palm sized and are really overpriced for what they really are. The al pastor was below average, bland in flavor. Salsa selection was nice but the taste just wasn’t really there with any of them. The horchata could have been at least good, but it tasted like water mixed with milk. It was $4 for about 3 cups of milk and water which is ridiculously overpriced. I paid almost $16 for a burrito, al pastor taco, shrimp taco, large horchata and I would have felt ripped off either way if I got my burrito wet or not… There are a lot better Mexican places in Fullerton/Placentia, this place is at the BOTTOM of my list now because I’ve almost never had my order wrong from any Mexican place so this place missed with the service and food. Wouldn’t I be an absolute fool to go back? I’ve worked in food before and I know mistakes are made but this was a pretty bad mistake… It just sucks knowing you spent your hard earned money on mediocre food and served mediocrely. Don’t come here if you’re looking for that new Mexican place in town, this place definitely ain’t it! -Food: 2/5 -Service: 1/5 -Overall: 1/5

El Novillo taco truck Parking Lot – Menu with Prices – Fruitvale Ave & E 10th St, Oakland

Review is of the tacos. Came here cos tacos Sinaloa was closed. Tried chicharron, tripas and lengua tacos. They come with salsa radish and scallions but I’m not sure how to eat the scallion (it’s not chopped) I’ll have to ask around or google. Tacos were well filled with meat. Chicharron was on the dry side here, so for me my favorite is still la penca’s chicharron tacos. The lengua here was excellent! My favorite. Tripas was also decent too but not the best one I’ve had. All in all a good experience. If you say for here your tacos will come on a plate covered in foil. To go they will be wrapped in foil and put in a bag. Boyfriend got al pastor burrito and he loved it. A decent spot, $2 per taco and was open on Sunday around 11 am.

Pinch a Taco 2 – Menu with Prices – 5005 S MacDill Ave, Tampa

I was on this side of the Bay and came here on a whim for lunch. I grew up in Southern California, where burritos and tacos are abundant. It’s simple, flavorful, quick, and delicious and cheap. After living in Florida for 6 years I’ve pretty much given up on Mexican food… until now! The menu is simple. A few meats to choose from and you pick your delivery method (taco, burrito, torta etc. My first time here I had 5 tacos, a variety of carne asada, pastor, pollo asado, and shrimp. All 5 were magnificent. The meat was fresh and flavorful, served on a corn tortilla (flour is available too), with onions and cilantro. I got them to go and got both red and green salsa. After one bite I knew I finally found a taco shop. A few weeks later I had a carne asada burrito. It was. A similar experience as far as nostalgia. Beans, meat, guacamole, pico de gallo, and a little lettuce. I think I’d prefer tacos next time, but the burrito was amazing none the less. Both times I washed my meal down with a large horchata. It’s a sweet cold cinnamon rice drink. Trust me, you can’t go wrong. I’ll definitely be back soon, and looking forward to trying their ceviche.

I Wana Moka Menu with Prices 3100 Old Fairhaven Pkwy, Bellingham

I don’t usually eat breakfast, but decided to have a breakfast burrito this morning. Yelp provided the perfect answer, of course! Saw the reviews and it was close. Asked the person at the window what kind of breakfast burrito they have, and informed me ham or sausage. I choose ham. The attendant asked if I’d like salsa with that, and I replied, please yes. After a few minutes, the arm came out of the window with a small/medium foil-wrapped burrito. And I drove away. When I got home, I noticed they didn’t include the salsa as requested. Grabbed some taco sauce from the fridge and tried it. I could taste that it was okay, kind of bland, and was not freshly cooked. Just assembled. I gave the lower rating because the asked if I wanted salsa and left it out. and they could try to put any kind of seasoning or even some green onions/chives into the burrito. I had hoped for better service and flavor.

Zapata Mexican Taco Shop – Menu with Prices – 207 W Rockrimmon Blvd Suite E, Colorado Springs

Warm welcome greetings, legit al pastor, double-tortilla shells. These are a few of my favorite things. This taco shop isn’t trying to be something hip or fancy. The owner is straight out of Guadalajara and it’s clear he knows tacos. We ordered one of every taco. We were thrilled to see the tacos were double shelled so they didn’t fall apart on first bite. This is how it should always be, but isn’t at a lot of fancy taco shops. The salsa bar had avocado salsa, tomatillo salsas and a thick hot red salsa which may make your nose run a bit in the best possible way. The music was Selena and Chicano remixes of Blondie and some Mexican and Latin tunes, and it was perfect. Horchata on tap. On tap. And Coke products. You can see the al Pastor turning on a spick from the register. My husband’s tripe taco was the best tripe he has ever had. And this is from a man who has eaten tripe in many forms. We liked the pastor a lot. The lengua (tongue) was good but I prefer a thinner sliced preparation finished with a kiss on a flat top grill. The chorizo had good flavoring but needed a bit more salt to bring it all together. I liked the way the restaurant was decorated. There were plenty of bright red booths, everything matched, the place was spotless. They need to print shirts and sell the merch. Overall, we were happy we found this place and are only bummed because we know it’s gonna get popular and will no longer be out secret taco spot.

Señor Taco – Menu with Prices – 1929 North Power Road #, 105 # 105, Mesa

Senor Taco is a taste-better alternative to the world of Filiberto’s and all the knockoffs. That single statement sums up the Senor Taco food line up, monster entrees and decent pricing. What you will find are burritos, tacos and other items that compare reasonably to Filiberto’s but are both better tasting and somewhat unique. The first time guest should try the carne asada burrito which is a strong item. People who are hungry could try the California Surfin burrito- a massive entree with carne asada, shrimp and French fries in a burrito wrap. Crazy fun and tasty. For those who can eat an entire cow in one sitting, I dare you to try to finish off a Senor Burrito. This double wrapped carne asada burrito with potatoes and lots of other goodies has got to be at least 2 lbs of shear burrito glory. Not for the weak. The chips are tasty, and the salsa bar is very good, well kept and fresh. The flavors are a bit spicier than the other fast food Mexican chains, but they are just perfect. I love the medium red salsa. Prices are reasonable, with most burritos staying between 5-8 dollars, but the monster teo I mentioned above range all the way to $10, which is still a great deal if you consider the humungous volume for those items. The staff is quick and polite, and your order will be ready pretty fast. Everything is made to order so it could be 5 min for some things but you’ll be eating in no time. This place is the best fast food Mexican available.

Antojitos las Delicias – Menu with Prices – 1521 E 5th St, Winston-Salem

I’m a sucker for authentic Mexican food and when I was hungry in between watching my brothers basketball games, I typed in Mexican and this place popped up. As a Winston native I’ve never been here but it gave it a shot and I don’t regret it one bit! The location may appear a little sketchy but the food is delicious! I ordered a veggie burrito and it was MASSIVE! You really get your bang for your buck with this place. They also give you sauces that really add flavor to your meal. The service was fantastic, and everyone was very friendly. There is no seating on the inside, so it’s more of a stationary food truck vibe, just as an FYI. If you want authentic Mexican food, come here and grab a taco or burrito and you won’t be disappointed! I paid around 7-8$ for my food.

El Roy’s Taco Truck – Menu with Prices – 760 Sebastopol Rd, Santa Rosa

That burrito or those tacos you want? The only ones that will satisfy that sudden, insistent craving for delicious, delicious Mexican food items that are also affordable and made by friendly, caring people? They’re here. The meats are perfectly prepared. (Try an al pastor-lengua combo and be transported.) The beans, rice, salsas, and supporting ingredients are all tasty and fresh. Even the tortillas surrounding the burritos are notably soft and flavorful. Truly some of the best interpretations of these classic tastes I’ve found in Sonoma County. Plus at least one thing I’ve not seen since visiting Tijuana years ago: the “Mexican hot dog,” wrapped in bacon and topped with multiple goodies, including jalapeno slices. Yes, it’s wrong. Yes, you’ll want two. El Roys Mexican Grill will please your palate without emptying your wallet. Go. Satisfaction of your cravings is mere minutes away. In a truck.

Rancho Nuevo Mexican Grill – Menu with Prices – 5946-5950 W Bethany Home Rd, Glendale

This place blows every ‘bertos restaurant out of the water, you’ll never want to go back to them once you eat here! They don’t have a drive through, if they did, there would always be a line. Their burritos are huge! A great value for around $7- $8. Lazaro burrito is my favorite, it has beef, chicken, and shrimp w/pico de gallo and guacamole. I ask for extra guacamole and it’s extra satisfying! Carne asada burrito is my second favorite. With extra guacamole because avocados are very important with my Mexican food. Taco Tuesday! $1 street tacos. Need I say more? I love their hot salsa roja, they have a little salsa bar with everything you need to spice it up. There are so many things to try on the menu. I feel like it doesn’t matter what you choose, it won’t disappoint. It’s one of those places where you really can’t go wrong with anything you order! Quality and quantity factors are very well balanced! The prices are fair for both the quality and quantity of what you get. Friendly staff. Why go to any of the surrounding crappy fast food restaurants when you can spend just as much, if not less and have a very filling delicious burrito etc? I saved their number in my phone because I like to call in my order and pick it up. Easily a favorite burrito spot!

California Burrito’s – Menu with Prices – 4480 Cleveland Ave, Fort Myers

Been here a couple times now. I’m born and raised in Southern California where you can get fast Mexican food and burritos on almost every city block. Coming here to SWFL, this is the first and only place that resembles the big burrito from a taco shop over there. Only non traditional thing is they put the rice and beans inside the burrito. I recommend requesting a bypass of this. I’ve been on board with their Carne Asada burrito both times I’ve visited. First time there I took it to go and second time I ate it there. This is a food truck so outside seating is extremely limited. One plus is they wrap the burritos in aluminum foil which kept my food hot inside and out the entire 15 minute drive home. Eating there, they have Barrilitos sodas in various flavors to go with your food. Usually there’s about four or five meats to choose from to build your creation. It gets busy here during lunch break so order ahead for pick up if you’re not into standing outside in the hot sun. Service has always been friendly. Come by here and grab a California Burrito!!

MEXICO BONITO CATERING TRUCK – Menu with Prices – 40648 Fremont Blvd #4305, Fremont

Had to check out the new truck. All of the 5 star reviews made me have to try. Since it was my first time of course I got tacos, 4 of them $8. For $8 at a truck I should leave feeling satisfied right? Nope small street tacos, although a very nice presentation with the spiced onions and definitely Resturante quality I did not leave feeling I got an $8 fill. I think should have came with more meat for spending $8 at a truck on 4 tacos. Maybe should have a deal buy 4 get 1 and fill them. Or a 5 taco plate, nice and full of meat. I’m sure reviews would sky rocket and more people would come. At a truck you look for flavor and expect value and fill. Or at least I do or I’ll just go to a sit down. The meats: (best to last) Al pastor: the best meat I tried, cooked well, cut well, nice and spicy and juicy. He does a great job on this meat. I want to try the burrito with pastor but the burrito is $7 + .50 for all adds, cheese, sour cream, and what ever else. Idk Carne Asada: was pretty decent, I just didn’t have much in my taco to really grasp it. Taco should have been full. Chicken: to my surprise this wasn’t that great, and was cold? usually chicken is a go to easy always good and a staple. Honestly I like my chicken burrito filled with chicken so I look for a balance between taste and qty lol. Over all I give this truck 3.5 stars but this time I round down because I spent $8 and walked away hungry ? Am tempted to try that al pastor burrito but prob won’t be in a rush. Hopefully someone posts a pic and a review on how it was.

La Casita Restaurante – Menu with Prices – 4539 Saufley Field Rd, Pensacola

This is for sure my new taco spot for Pensacola! I saw it pop up on yelp just around the corner from me and have been anxious to try it all week. Situated in a quiet store front beside a mini market La Casita’s humble storefront packs great hospitality and some damn good authentic tacos. I got 2 al pastor and 2 pollo tacos with a horchata. The al pastor was bursting with great flavor and nice pineapple chunks, while the pollo might have been the best I’ve ever had- juicy with a nice bite. Horchata tasted like the real deal and not a concentrate (like many of the other guys in town.) Pricing is very fair for the generous portions of the tacos- between $2-2.50/pc. I came in very hungry and was only able to make it thru 3 of my tacos. Well done La Casita! I’m excited to come back next week!

Taco King Food Truck – Menu with Prices – 4001 N Armenia Ave, Tampa

The Taco King Food Truck is located off North Armenia Avenue, North of i275, 1 block north of where Howard and Armenia merge, next to a Citgo Gas Station, McDonald’s, Advance Auto, and Dunkin Donuts. Although the Taco King Food Truck has set up permanent shop next to the Citgo gas station, there aren’t any picnic tables for sitting or eating nearby and it would definitely be nice to have. I was very disappointed that the Taco King Food Truck took the fish tacos off their menu, did not serve pulled pork, did not serve shrimp, and 2 of their tacos are only served over the weekend from Friday to Sunday. This left me with only 4 types of taco options including Al Pastor, Chroizo, Carne Asada, and Pollo. Since I’m tired of chicken and not a big fan of chorizo, it only left me with 2 options- the Al Pastor and the Carne Asada. Most taco places offer shrimp, pulled pork, flavored steak, and flavored pulled pork tacos. The Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos were a bit on the small side and he marinade used wasn’t my favorite. The house made orange and green hot sauces helped make up for the marination short comings but the hot sauces were not quite as good as my favorite taco Food Truck Loli’s Mexican Cravings. Aside from tacos, Taco King Food Truck also serves Quesadillas, Burritos, Quesurittos, and Gringa Flour Tortillas. If you’re looking for a better taco food truck, I highly recommend Loli’s Mexican cravings with better marinades, more meat options, and better house made hot sauces. Loli’s Mexican Cravings is mobile though so you’ll have to check their schedule to see when they’re available. If you’re looking for good tacos in the same area north of the interstate I recommend Taqueria Emanuel off North Macdill and West Columbus.
