La Poblanita Taco Truck — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

I always get their perfectly, portioned carne asada burritos, which only costs $11, here when I need a quick fix in Thousand Oaks! Sometimes I do get their tortas as well. Super consistent with their taste and they are quick with your order even when they are busy. The burrito has rice, beans, pico de gallo, melted cheese, and seasoned steak. You can also add guacamole with added cost. They have 3 levels of spice, but no avocado sauce. Their 3 salsas tastes ok. I’ve had better, but I’ve also had worst where there was no flavor and just tasted watered down. I do like their spiciest habanero salsa, so definitely ask for that if you love spice.

No extra veggie/condiments you can get from a usual self serve station that most trucks have. I always love to have radishes and some lime/lemon wedges on the side to eat my food with. Maybe you have to ask? Not to sure. So in general, 4/5 for food. The small stuff really matters.

The busiest that I’ve seen them is about 4 parties waiting for food and about 5-6 parties waiting to order. During that time I’ll wait for around 10-15mins in line and 10-15mins for my order.

I rated service and atmosphere 4/5 and gave a total of 4/5 stars because I would have wished they had some sort of seating or tables set up for those who want to eat their food right away. I understand that it’s a food truck and might not offer it, but some trucks go out of their way to do it as well. It could be some sort of regulation in that area or because it’s in such a small sidewalk area.

It may seem sketchy at night because it is dimly lit in that area. They have great lights when you walk up to their truck, but that’s about it. The other areas are a bit dark. I think it would be great if they added one or two more lights to cover more area for customers so they feel more comfortable waiting outside at night...

This is a taco truck that is THE SPOT in Thousand Oaks on a weekend night for a very tasty taco (with Bad Ass tacos as a runner up). They are not the best tacos in the word, but they are very tasty and very fresh and better than anything else you will find within 10 miles. It's hard to match authentic tacos from Puebla, but they give it a very solid try. Asada, pollo, etc., especially the lengua, all of it is delicious.

Al Pastor is best right off the spindle and straight to the taco, like they do in Mexico. In the US, probably for health & safety reasons, the meat is taken off the spindle and then placed on the fryer grill to get cooked a bit more thoroughly before it is placed on the taco for eating. So the meat always ends up being a little dryer and harder and is always is a little less tasty than the real Mexico variety, but you won't get some strange pork parasite or food poisoning, so probably worth it. The al pastor here is great--very tasty with sold sweet-spicy-salty flavors.

The agua fresca options are also top notch. The horchata and Jamaica are clearly made from scratch and not concentrate like at a lot of other Mexican restaurants.

Get a plate and eat at the truck or take it home and enjoy. You won't be disappointed in the slightest.

The salsa has great flavor and the roja (red) has a solid spice...
