50 Best Food Trucks near Encino

“The crispy chicken tacos are soooo good! & I usually don’t like hard shell tacos. The service & staff is amazing, they really take the time to make sure everything you ordered is perfect, & if it’s not they don’t hesitate to correct it.“

“I live 30 minutes away but this is the only spot that I don't mind driving down to the valley for!!!. Each time it's as fresh and bomb as the first time I came. 5 stars for the quality and taste of the food and the kind Empolyees at the falafel truck !!!!!“

“I don't even eat at gracis senor, but I am writing this review because there is a local law firm called Davis Wright and Tremaine that has been harassing the local taco vendors for the past few weeks in the Pacific Palisades. Apparently the law firm has delivered threatening letters to Gracias Senor (the daytime taco truck), as well as the nighttime pop-up tent-based taco vendors, and perhaps the other trucks as well. There are clearly a coalition of palisades karens who have nothing constructive to do with their time and therefore seek to destroy the hard work of local businesses, lessening the beauty of the Palisades in the process. These same anti-taco-truck karens are probably the same types of people who yelled at people for not taking covid vaccines two years ago: the type of people who thrive on the oppression of the free will of other human beings and live to control others, for it gives them a false sense of empowerment and meaning. These anti-taco karens would clearly like for every single establishment in the palisades to be bland, overpriced, licensed and regulated by some nonsensical city governing body, and close early. The good news is that for every one of the anti-taco Karens who seek to oppress the small business owners, there are twenty more people who support the taco vendors! Don't be intimidated by Davis Wright and Tremaine and the karen army.“

“SOOOOO soo good!! Always look forward to stopping by whoever the truck is at. Highly recommend the Classic burger and also the Chicken katsu sandwich. Thé gorgonzola on thé burger is DELICIOUS. The veggies are crisp and fresh. And the sauces are homemade, so so delicious. A MUST try“

“Omg when I tell you that it was my first time trying arepas. My brother Inlaw is from Venezuela boy he Wasent wrong when he told me trust your gonna love them!! Never had I finish a whole dinner plate on my own.. But I myself was surprised when I ate the whole arepa I left nothing. It was so good I can’t explain yah need to come try them so you know what I’m talking about.. Only bad thing is there not open every day. You guys try the carne mechada arepa oh my God delicious.. I’m Hispanic by the way and let me tell you I rather have one of these than a Sope,taco,popusas,or a huarache tbh… Guys go try the food here please . You won’t regret it..“

“This is the best shawarma place EVER!! I don’t usually write reviews but this one’s worth it! The chicken shawarma and beef pita is absolutely amazing and delicious. And if you add fries right inside your shawarma it’s like so yummy I can’t even describe! You will not find shawarma like this anywhere in LA!!P.S. couldn’t take proper picture because was too busy eating my shawarma“

“Honestly probably the best mariscos I’ve had! I love the aguachile! The mariscos pieces are always plump and big, they really don’t skimp out on it. The owner is so friendly and willing to help you decide what to get based on what you like. The vibe is really chill with music always playing and tables to sit and eat at. Such a fun vibe. But the best thing about this place is probably the spicy red sauce. It goes good on everything! Seriously the star of the place, I crave it randomly all the time. Can’t recommend more!“

“My friend recommended me this cafe and i immediately fell in love with it. The drinks are so good, it’s refreshing, enough sweet (i usually order half sweet for milk tea and regular sweet for tea). This photo is peach green tea with boba for a hot afternoon and its one the best ? ah and the staff is really friendly, she makes the best drinks ??“

“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“

“l recently visited and had an absolutely wonderful experience! let's talk about the food - it was outstanding! I tried their chicken kebab / Beef with a side of freshly grilled vegetables, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be returning soon!!“

“The reviews about the falafel being amazing are 100% accurate. This was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had, so good that I went back for seconds.Really well cooked falafel, fresh and airy soft pita, diced cucumber and tomato full of flavor, and a range of sides to help heighten the meal further (special shoutout to their amazing homemade spicy sauce and really well done tahini sauce).Can’t wait to return.“

“I don't usually do the food truck thing but I saw that they would be pretty close to work so 3 of us went to check it out. We all ordered different things and we were all happy with our food. The owner was nice too. I definitely recommend.“

“they're just wonderful! i have been visiting bittiebitez for about a year and ive always been satisfied with the quality of their warm mini donuts. its so fun to watch the donuts fall into the fryer through the large glass window in the front of the truck. they're always so very nice here, i'm always so happy to stop by when they're in town. they post the truck schedule on their instagram every week, they're pretty mobile so they might even come by you! if you're looking for a fun pack of mini donuts for you or to share, this is the spot! delicious donuts and great value in larger quantities;)“

“La La Lasagna is to die for and if I was dying, I would want this as my last meal. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this is my favorite food to eat *ever* and I have a child-like giddiness when I have the chance to stop by this truck.Chef Michelangelo is the nicest man on the planet and I'm happy to give him all my money. Do yourself a big favor and RUN to get some.“

“Omg, i don't usually write reviews, but these sliders were sooo damn good. I got the combo that comes with two sliders, fries and a drink. I got one of each slider, the SS way and the other option. The service was great, and he checked on me to tell me how many many more minutes. This is a food truck and there is some outdoor seating under a canopy.“

“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“

“Best birria food truck around here. The queso birria tacos is so bomb- the tortilla is warmly coated in the spicy broth and oozing with cheese. They give you plenty of limes. roasted peppers and their HOMEMADE SALSA OMG i love it. End it with their horchata and it's the best. Cash, Credit card is accepted.:)“

“Very impressed. Super clean. Super friendly staff. One of the better tacos I have ever had. Lot of varieties. Six different salsas. Unlimited side dishes free. fresh drinks. The meat was very juicy. We had carne asada and beef tongue and brisket and chicken.“

“I have been a face painter at Mr. Bones pumpkin patch throughout the month of October, and almost every day I’ve been there, I got lunch from the Maravilla truck. They are incredible!! Everything I tried was delicious, and the seasoned fries were a personal favorite. They are all so friendly too. Face painting at the patch is definitely a high pressure job, especially when it’s busy, and Maravilla really helped to keep my spirits (and energy) up the whole time! Thank you Maravilla for everything!!“

“So happy to have tried Sugo! I only dipped my toes into the flavor pool ordering only the French Fries and the Meatballs and sauce! Having had an Italian Chef for a Father, I grew up being able to tell good Italian flavors from a simple dish like Meatballs and Sauce (gravy)! Both were excellent from Sugo! Hot from heat, great texture and fine flavors and plenty of food! I'm looking forward to delving deeply into the menu next time! The rest of the family dinner was a hit with everyone too! Great food for the price! I highly recommend Sugo!“

“If you're not here, then you're missing out! Had the burrito and the crispy tacos...and...man o man! Super delicious!!! I would have taken pictures, but the food was gone before I could post anything. The tacos were deliciously crispy, while the meat was marinated to perfection. The garnishes on the side, cucumbers, and radishes, were the perfect addition to my meal. Ordered three of these bad boys with a side of Mexican Coke. Pure cane sugar is so much better than High fructose corn syrup. My wife had the burrito. It was juicy, had all the right seasoning, and fell apart like any delicious burrito should.. Also, I said delicious a ton of times. Because it is! It's delicious!!!“

“Found this on a search, the food off the truck was off the chain. From tacos with guacamole plus everything else to vampiro the taste was delicious & authentic. As we drove up we witnessed customers eating on their vehicles, so when in Rome do as the Romans. I haven’t eaten on a car since my teenage years, and there I stood at 60 being the old wild one of the bunch. Excellent food, a must try for both residents & travelers!!!“

“Consistently amazing. The portions are huge and the food is out of this world! Service is quick and the location is very nice with relaxing ambiance. Taqueria La Plebe is my go-to spot when I'm craving authentic and delicious mexican food.“

“After ordering here a few times I think the cooks need to learn that Mexican food is not soggy and wet. I don’t think I’ve ordered one thing from this place that didn’t fall apart on first pick up whether it tacos quesadilla burrito doesn’t matter, but I have to say the taste is good and the portion is good.“

“(Translated by Google) MA Diaz is very pretty. The breaded tostadas and tacos are super fresh and delicious. One hundred and past.(Original)MA Diaz es muy linda. Las tostadas y los tacos empanizados están súper fresh y ricas. Al cien y pasaditos.“

“This is a hidden gem. These guys are super friendly, accommodating, and provide amazing service. The food is superb and it reminds me of some of the famous food trucks in the plethora of other countries that I've visited. The prices are fair and the amount of food you get for that price is astounding. Great work guys.“

“Pasties aka pastes originated in England, made the way into Mexico, and then the US!The lovely owners of this SFV business come from Hidalgo. There are all kinds of savory guisos and many sweet filling options. I ordered some to eat there and some to go. They gave me a free sample of cafe de olla. I ate alone but had a nice chat w the owner and the few other customers. I had one with chicken mole and another with rajas. ( I split a mole verde one with my room mate when I got home too).Delicious and a lovely experience. Pay them a visit!“

“I found this taco truck online a few months ago and I was really excited to check it out because I was in the area. I got the world famous short rib tacos and burrito, along with the Sriracha bar. I loved the tacos and burrito! The galbi flavors really came through. I was curious about the Sriracha bar though. I ordered it because it was unique and I didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a rice crispie bar with caramel filling dipped in chocolate. I didn't taste any Sriracha until my last 3 or 4 bites. If the Sriracha was more thoroughly mixed throughout the bar, I would have enjoyed it much more.“

“Birria Del Valle is my go to birria spot in The San Fernando Valley. I would go as far to say it's the best of all LA county. I've had thier mulittas, quesabirria and had for the first time today thier Birria Noodles in which all have been outstanding in taste, filling and freshness. It's a must try no doubt & mock my words when I say you will keep coming back. If I could rate it's overall quality, it's beyond a five star rating.“

“With taco trucks being all the rage this is one that you need to visit. The Birria Tacos here are bar none the best that I've had. Don't get me started with their other offerings of burritos, here. They are big full of flavor and well worth the price. The quesadillas are my next favorite, but believe me everything here is good.Parking: The only thing about the parking here is that there's just a few spots around the truck that are available so it's going to be a walk if you have to park right on the street. If not, the business that is right in front has a big lot where you could just sit there and eat your food after you get it just make sure it's on the weekend. I'm pretty sure they're not too happy if you're parking there during the week.“

“Churro man is the best churros I've had here in the SFV. The churros are made fresh to order and they come out super hot and crisp. They aren't too hard and are soft in the inside. The individual that makes the churros is always super courteous, kind and is super cool. I usually come here every other Friday and always get the 7 churros special. They do have specials and they post up in different parts of the valley. Go to instagram and follow them @thechurromantruck“

“(Translated by Google) Too delicious, ????the owner is very attentive and the food is the best, I loved the sushi and the tacos and the burritos, everything is worth what it costs ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you won't regret it(Original)Demasiado delicioso, ????el dueño es muy atento y la comida es la mejor, me encanto el sushi y los tacos y los burritos todo vale lo que cuesta ❤️❤️❤️❤️ no se van arrepentir“

“This is my go-to taco spot in the valley! Parking isn't that great considering that it is at a park, but it's not horrible. The tacos itself is what gets me going back and the customer service is good. They have a lot of options and the price is affordable as well.“

“Just tried this for the first time, and will definitely be returning! The food was tasty, the price was fair, and equally important to me, the people working there were kind. Good customer service, and patient in explaining to me the various options (as the menu was in Spanish). Feeling very satisfied with the meal, and am looking forward to trying some of their other offerings soon.“

“First time trying this place and the food here was amazing definitely worth a try if you want to eat something different. Veggies is good, meats are juicy and delicious, I will deff be going back at least once every other month. Because price is crazy expensive! Service was fast and on time. Lastly the ambience is non-existent due to it being a food truck. So it's next to a gas station.“

“I ordered a Torta with half Asada, and half Al Pastor. The Torta was fantastic I ate the whole thing. The service was great and I would highly doubt this place has anything to complain about. 2 tables with chairs, and additional chairs to sit in while waiting. It is outside, onthe side walk and it narrows there for walkers, but other than that there's no surprises. Perfect for to go orders.“

“Delicious shrimp tacos and asada quesadilla! The portions are large and the prices are super reasonable. I love that you can call in advance to order! Today was my first time and I'll definitely be back! :)Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly as it is a food truck :)Parking: There is free street parking on the street next to this food truckWheelchair accessibility: Easy to access for a wheelchair“

“One of the best taco trucks I have visited. The food so very fresh and flavorful. The tortillas are definitely handmade. They certainly are not stingy with the meat and prices are fair. Ordered the chicken, Carne asada and carnitas tacos as well as a Carne asada mulita. The mulita huge! They have salsas outside as self serve. Will definitely come again.Parking: Truck is parked next to a small lot, so there is parking in the lot, as well as the street.“

“Very good! The service was friendly and great--very helpful in helping us decide what to order. The goat taco was surprisingly good! Enjoyed the shredded beef empanada, which was huge and topped with avocado and lettuce. We ordered the horchata- which was yummy. They gave it to us while we waited for the food (it was a hot day), and then topped it off for us when the food came! They do have small chairs to sit on and plenty of shade. Highly recommend--we will go back.“

“They always hold us down. After a lit night, when we want something cheap, or just when I'm fixing for tacos. Best I've had in the valley and better than anything I've had in Ventura county too. Shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, pastor tacos, and those damn birria tacos . And I love the onion that comes with it. Just beware of the hot salsa, if you get everything included on your food - it will be spicy.The only thing that wasn't the best was the birria burrito, and damn that was kinda good too! But I'd probably try something else next time I want a burrito or get consomé with it. It was a little dry without it.“

“Vivi catered our wedding party and did a phenomenal job. She suggested the chicken and mushrooms so we went with that and the salmon. Both were delicious as well as the salad, rice and salsa. All of our guests kept telling us that they loved the food. The setup was nice as well. She printed out a beautiful, personalized menu with both me and my husband’s name. She was also kind enough to box up any leftovers. Would definitely have her cater another one of my events and I’m sure many of my guests will be doing so in the future.“

“1) Thought "I haven't eaten. I should eat." 2) Turned my head, happened to see this truck parked across the street.3) Walked over, ordered my first ever Shrimp cocktail.4) Had one of my best LA food truck experiences, great food, good people, generous portion - highly recommended!“

“Delicious food (i had burrito Asada), clean and great staff… they were very fast and proactive.. as i was taking and putting in the little container unfortunately my coke dropped and spill everything and right away they gave me another coke and i was willing to pay and they said that it was okay i could have a new one for free… i can only say its definitely worth stopping by and checking them out. 10/10“

“Great handmade tortillas tacos for $2.00 each. They are well served and can't beat the price. Quesadilla made with home made corn tortillas are delicious for only $11.00/$12.00. Agua Frescas for $6.00 Friendly service. It's surrounded by other food vendors on the sidewalk right in front of Target.“

“What can I say about FTALA that hasn't already been said? Finding a food truck company can be such a hassle, but working with Erika was smooth. I was a bit concerned with the truck I choose regarding the size of the dumplings, but Erika explained thoroughly how she herself has had them. ---it was a success, and the guests could not have been happier! All I heard about after the event was the dumplings. I can't wait to explore more truck options with FTALA for our school events.“

“Just delicious. My dad is a total hater of any Guatemalan establishment because he says they're ever good here but he is in love with this place. Authentic flavors, great customer service, absolutely delicious. We got the shuco de salchicha, mole de plátano & tostadas and it was all so good. I will be returning many times here to this little taste of home. If you're in the mood for some delicious Guatemalan food you are in luck.“

“Super nice people serving authentic, tasty, Mexican street food. Hot salsa made by abuela has a great zing. The burrito estilo don and the quesadillas are outstanding. I'm a low carb guy and they even have keto tacos made with cheese shells which are pretty good and sometimes they have keto tortillas. Come check it out.“

“If you live in Sherman Oak or the valley come get the quesadilla birria tacos ahhh there so Delicious I recommend such great quality and fast service. I always order over the phone and pick up so convenient. I love it they always add extra salsa, condiments and their agua Fresca. Just try won't fail.“

“The ice cream flavors here are INSANE and I was obsessed with them. They describe them as artisan Thai gelato and there are flavors I'm sure you can't get anywhere else. Located at Smorgasburg LA and they are kind to give you samples (I really wanted to try them all). Black Sesame - perhaps the best black sesame ice cream I have ever tasted! Pesto alla Thailanese - strong notes of basil with a savory undertone from the olive oil, this was amazing and I would get a whole pint of it every week.“

“Food truck review: food was delicious and portions were a generous size. Ordered the Flamin Fries, 4 sliders combo and flamin elote. The sliders were not small at all! I actually got full with one. The flamin elote was definitely unique but I prefer the flamin fries. They do charge for extra sauce, I wish we got at least 1 extra sauce with our combo order. 10/10“
