Park at your risk. They’ve taken over the former Goodwill parking lot. They made the parking lot for the taco truck customers only, which is not bad necessarily but rather inconvenient to the rest of the neighborhood. They tow now 24/7 and sometimes without notice per their signs. They’ve made it with only 2 entrances in or out, which is very dangerous for the area. They’ve completely changed the whole neighborhood and ruined the atmosphere of the area. The parking lot was the appeal, not the taco truck unfortunately. Many people used to frequent this taco truck while visiting OTHER businesses in the area. If I have to park around the corner to go to the clinic I’m not going to bother going to the taco truck. From what I’ve seen they’re the ONLY taco truck in Oakland that did this. Food is hit or miss, I’ve gotten ice cold burritos before and soggy quesadillas from the too wet salsa and wilted lettuce they...
Read moreThere are two taco trucks, #1 and #2, both situated in Goodwill's parking lot. According to their signs, there is a #3 somewhere (dunno where). #1 takes their time and slowly cooks their meats after you order - up to 10 minutes if there's a line - I tried asada, chorizo, and carnitas tacos. All were excellent, especially the crispy carnitas. Asada was minced. #2 has fish and shrimp tacos. I tried their fish tacos which were surprisingly meh, too much batter and not very fresh tasting. As a point of reference, the chain Rubio's, are much better than these (especially if you do Rubio's Taco Tuesdays and get their especial). In terms of Oakland taco trucks ranking, this one is slightly behind Tacos El Gordo, but if you want to eat before 5PM, #1 is a good choice. Not surprisingly, #1 had longer lines than #2. Remember to ask for...
Read more5/14/22 order #123 from truck 2 around 11pm. I originally ordered 8 tacos but only given 6 tacos and was charged $28. I came back for 2 tacos but the cashier told me I only ordered 6 tacos then tells me to give him $6 more if I wanted the 2 tacos but he refused give me my 2 tacos from when I ordered and I had noticed I gave him $40 but only gave me back $2 from my change then I came back to the cashier I told him he was supposed to charge me $24 since tacos were $3 a piece and also told him to give me back $16 but he refused told me he got it on camera then I told him okay let’s look at the video. He refused from the video but he told me to come next day for the video. All I want is my change that’s it but I highly doubt I’ll get it back. I don’t support this kind of action from...
