**3.5 Stars**Fantastic Al pastor tacos with a touch of pineapple.Tried the Quesobirria but a bit too crunchy for my liking with a thicker consommé.Credit cards accepted, but cash discount and limited outdoor seating.

I live on the east bay but work in the peninsula. Was craving birra tacos and found them on yelp. My husband has food allergies but was willing to try the chicken soft tacos. I brought everything home across the 92. He didn't have an allergic reaction! He loved them so much, he asked me to buy them again afterwards work the next day! The birra tacos were delicious as well! The consume (dipping) is really good! Everything was wrapped nicely and still warm by the time I got home. The second day I tried a chicken burrito and that was delicious as well! I highly recommend!

Found this place on Yelp while searching for a late night taqueria spot. The reviews & pics looked good so I had to give it a try. This food truck is parked on the side of the OSH & has tables with seats around so you have the choice to hang out & eat there. The guy at the window was friendly & quickly took my order, our food was out in minutes. The quesabirias were flavorful & the consomé was tasty, paired perfectly. My boyfriend rated the burrito a 10/10 flavor all around. The only downfall of the burrito is that they don't wrap it tight enough & they only add one layer of foil so you have to make sure you're holding it right. I'll definitely be back, specially since we're late night munchers & this place is open till midnight

When you eat their food (tacos, burritos, beans, nachos), you can taste that they're made with love. I love all their food, esp quesabirria tacos, nachos, and suedero burritos. I would come here daily if I lived nearby!

I never write reviews but this place needed one. Do yourself a favor and head on over there and order a couple lengua (beef tongue) , a few pastor (pork), and might as well order all the other meats. This place is crazy good. Very friendly owner. Can't recommend this spot enough. Stop reading this and go get you some tacos. (Please get the lengua taco even if you never had lengua. Best ive ever had by a mile. Sooooo tender and huuuuge chunks) Also the fish and shrimp were amazing too. Those come with a creamy orange sauce! Can't wait to go back for my third time.

What a hidden gem in Redwood City behind the Costco! I was craving Mexican food and my husband loves tacos so we decided to try it out. I got a chicken quesadilla and my husband got al pastor, carne asada, and pollo tacos. The chicken quesadilla was absolutely delicious, full of gooey, melty cheese that looked like and tasted like the cheese in quesabirria tacos. They were hefty pieces that were warm buttery and fresh. It came with a side of pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. Their guac was more like a creamy green salsa but still super good and balanced out the creaminess of the cheese. Tacos were also amazing - my husband like the Al pastor the best. Flavorful, fresh, and full of spice. We'll definitely return!

Wow! This place is the bomb. Very authentic street food from a food truck. my first bite into a Carne Asada super burrito. I was impressed at the taste and flavors. I also tried a shrimp taco, which was excellent. Each order is made fresh and can take a while when there is a line. However, every item is made with attention to detail. For example, they even grill the burrito tortilla, so it is slightly crispy on the outside which I love.

Unassuming taco truck next to the Costco in Redwood City and it is my favorite spot!Super burrito is really good and fairly priced. Al pastor and asada are both super good.Mulitas are amazing!! We ate it so fast I couldn’t get a picture.The red sauce is pretty spicy so if ask for no red sauce if you don’t like spice. Great service too.

Delicious lengua, asada and camaron tacos, for the taco fans. We will be back to try the burritos!
Good place to get tacos or a burrito right next to the north abound CalTrain track. Their tortilla is home made and is distince from generic market bought varieties. I have tried their carne asade tacos, shrimp tacos and super burrito, and can recommend all of them.

Located in the Costco parking lot. We were about to start our run and feeling peckish. Found this on Yelp and came by. They didn't have a vegetarian taco on the menu but the guy said he'd whip something together and it was quite delicious. Generous with the amount of filling in the taco. It was one of the best vegetarian tacos we had. Can't come wait to come back and try some of the other things on the menu!

Came here after reading about it in the S.F. Chronicle's list of best burritos in the Bay Area. It didn't disappoint! I got a pork super burrito and it had a lot more flavor than your typical chipotle burrito. The size wasn't enormous but it was plenty for a single meal, and as far as Bay Area super burritos go the price was quite reasonable.

I can safely say this is overall my favorite taco place in the Bay Area! Best lengua hands down, there's no other place that serves whole big chunks of lengua like that. Al pastor and suadero are also really excellent. But excellent meats isn't enough for a great taco experience -- their salsas round out the tacos perfectly and thats where El Paisa pulls ahead of most places. And they also stay open till late!
