What customers say?

“ This place is a lot of fun and has pretty good Mexican. This food is probably the closest you’ll get to authentic Mexican in the area. Very small seating outside so if you plan on eating expect to eat in your car. ”

“ UPDATE: in the last few months, their hours have become unreliable and the food flavor has gone from great to just ok. Their once amazing red / orange chilli sauce is now watered down and less flavor. Their once amazing al pastor is not thin shaved but now chunky. The burritos have gotten smaller too…still a good size, but I feel they’re losing their focus on good customer value. Needless to say, we stopped going and are in search of a new fav. ORIGINAL POST: My two boys and I have been going here for a while now. The food is amazing. We've tried most of the menu and have never been disappointed. The Al Pastor burrito is our favorite as it is easily 2 meals and $12. The marinade and crispy yet tender meat, is just right. My boys live in the Bay area and when I visit they want me to bring them Alebrije. They say open to midnight but I've often seen them there after midnight with customers ordering. Two minor nits. They're only open for dinner and they are not there when what appears to be rainy days. Cash is preferred. Others have recommended different food trucks (and we have tried em), but luckily, this is our favorite and it is close to home. ”

“ Extremely authentic food stand serving high quality street tacos. The Al pastor is delicious and their salsas as well. Exceeded expectations ”

- Jonathan Yang -

“ Still open just moved to a new spot like a block away so highly recommend to check them on Instagram for updates. Parking space is limited (like 3) so it may be better to park on the side streets and walk to the taco stand. Their Al Pastor is well worth the wait, the horchata, toppings, and sauces are also fantastic. I usually come around 6:30pm since the vendor tends to set up a bit later than usual. Cash only! ”

“ I’ve seen this place a lot and always wondered if it was good considering they were always open super late. After seeing the high reviews I finally gave them a try and it’s safe to say I will be back A LOT. Some of the best Al Pastor I’ve ever had and the homemade street taco tortillas are amazing. The horchata is also really good. If you want some of the best street tacos then this is the spot. 5/5. ”

“ Good street food. Simple, fresh and clean. I've tried most of everything and haven't been disappointed. The Alambre is delicious and enough for two (pictured bellow) and my favorite. Fresh handmade tortillas come with it, along with many sides for any extra add-ons. Cash only - ”

- Stephen Healy -

“ Fantastic tacos, burritos and horchata! Highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and stop by! Also, the tiny pink chairs give it a lot of charm. 10/10 *Update* 6/29/23 the tacos are still amazing! ”

- Victor Burgett -

“ Everything about this place is spot on. The people are super nice and the food was BOMB!! I had the carne asada street tacos…I’m coming back FOR SURE! Good atmosphere and vibes :’) ”
