Delicious tortas ?????

Before covid-19, I dropped by here every time I visited the aquarium. Great tacos for a great price. Even my notoriously picky nephews loved them!

Best tacos ever... always lonely ... stroll by, the guys here will take care of you right! Fresh made tortillas and greasy heart stopping meat. Oh yes.

Called the Volcano for a reason. Had the bad stomach pains. Found a fly in my hamburger

Went here thinking it would be good since the truck is always on Del Monte. We ordered the Papas Volcan, the food was COLD; I guess that's why it only took them one minute to prepare it.Don't think we'll be back.

Horrible food and service. Do not let the fancy truck deceive you. Ordered 50$ worth of food. They forgot 3 items, gave an attitude and the food was cold. Spend your money else where. Seriously!!!

To don't know what all the hype is about, these were the worst tacos ever! The line was long so my husband and I said that had to say something good about their food. Not! He had the barbacoa taco which was greasy as hell, more grease than meat (wish I had taken a picture), I had the al pastor and it was flavorless. I don't usually write reviews but I felt inclined to given the worst taco experience we had!!

I will definitely never go back again. The food was horrible, the cashier was so rude and had attitude, and in a time with COVID-19 the cook was not wearing a mask when handling the food. I ordered a volcano burger and it didn’t even come with what was said to come with. It was missing a lot of ingredients, also ordered a hot dog, tacos and all were greasy, soggy, and just missing a lot of ingredients. We ended up throwing away the food. I do not recommend this place.

Service great. Food meh. Ordered bacon wrapped hotdog... bun was soggy and so was the bacon. The tacos were nothing to write home about.

This is my favorite place to get tacos in Monterey! Something about the fresh made tortillas adds an extra touch of home. Fast and friendly service too!

The burritos have gone down hill. Very bland super burrito, just carne asada, rice, and pinto beans. The burritos used to be pretty good when the older man was working the kitchen and young man worked the register. Since a woman started working the register and a different middle aged man worked the kitchen things have definitely changed.

Long line, but the food is very unremarkable. Ordered lengua tacos and basically a few pieces of chopped meat sprinkled with onion. Dry and tasteless. Burrito was worse. French fries were fried in cheap unhealthy oil.

I wish I can give this place negative stars!!! I had the food truck located in Monterey and the two guys were very rude and the food we got was beyond greasy and hands-down the worst tacos I've ever had in my life!!!! I took one bite and they were the saltiest things ever. I went back and asked for a refund and they just looked at me dumbfounded. I just trashed it along with the other people that I came with did not like their food and trashed it as well. Do you self a favor and find something better!

Randomly saw the truck. So happy we stopped food was great, I had the supreme burrito and hubby had tacos. Not greasy or heavy just very tasty. Highly recommended

Just okay. Not what you're really hoping for when you see a taco truck. Everything is pretty white washed. The burritos and tacos were very wet, burrito completely fell apart from the bottom before I was halfway through because there was so much liquid. They also didn't give us any salsa which is a pretty typical throw in the bag item at most taco trucks. Staff was indifferent towards customers, got it, your busy and at a taco truck but you could at least crack a smile, say how can I help you or thank you for your business really anything remotely friendly. Won't be back.
