Come to their food truck! Great tacos and burritos and much better than many places in town. Their food is fresh and cooked just right. Lots of menu choices. Soft Tacos are the best! Great service. There is an Outdoor patio with tables and heaters. Highly recommend!

Some guests at the hotel had raved about the tacos at the truck up the block. They told me they didn't want to spend all this money on food and wanted something basic to eat that was not fast food. Decided to check out this truck and glad that I did. The al pastor tacos with pineapples were flavorful. For $2.35, I bought two. Decide I wanted to try their mulita as well. There were outdoor tables and a handwashing station. This place accepted cash and credit cards. Good place to go if you just want some no frills Mexican food and don't want to spend a lot of money!

I've tried both hollister and tonight food truck on Milpas. Nothing special don't know why they have 4 stars. I tried giving them another chance. Everything on milpas was closed. I had a quesadilla de pastor and asada it was ok/ average real sloppy. Also tried three tacos asada ok pastor mediocre and chicken garbage cold meat and drier then the back of my feet. I'm sorry I was hungry and it still didn't taste good won't be going back ever. all bs aside probably worst tacos is Santa Barbara I'm sorry there are way better places to eat and that's just being honest.

Ran into this food truck on the corner of Calle puerto Vallarta and S Milpas st (shows up on google maps at this location as well). The el pastor and lengua tacos were great! Very tender and flavorful. They seem to specialize in the el pastor, they had a whole "tent" dedicated to cooking it outside of the truck. The horchata we had was just ok, didn't taste home made. Covid times rating: excellent! There was outdoor seating that was covered and had a warm propane heater. There is a hand wash station. Social distancing strictly followed and tables cleaned off immediately by staff. Credit card accepted. Felt extremely safe.

Family run restaurant and lots of delicious options. The tacos have tasty meat and salsa offerings, but the tortillas were subpar. The tortillas taste store bought and a little stale. If they had better tortillas these tacos would be awesome.

All I can say is yum! This food truck has the bombastic carne asada burritos and delicious el pastor tacos. The pastor tacos has slices of pineapple. The carne asada burrito was large and everything it it tasted great. The salsa is also tasty and hot.

This review is for the Taco truck on Milpas street. We stayed at Hilton down the street for couple of days. After eating watered down high pricey crap with fancy names in Santa Barbra down town, finally our good karma kicked in, on the way back to the hotel. Finally some flavored food that actually tastes good. Thank you for saving the day.

They have the best Tortas in Santa Barbara! We frequently grab late night food from the truck and ask for their fried veggies on a pastor torta, it is to die for!

We ordered mulitas and the girl who took our order clearly cannot hear. Instead they gave us three tacos instead of 2 mulitas and one taco. Anyhow, their tacos are nothing special. Don't waste your time or money. I ordered their Alahambre and literally it's 5 small tortillas on top of meat. Like really? It is over priced and honestly it sucked.

I went for tacos this morning and I have to be honest: the tacos sucked! They were cold and there was lots of fatty (the gummy part) of the meat in my tacos... the salsa was bland too and overall I am disappointed with them. I had the for the first time about a year ago and they were actually good but not this time. I probably won't be trying again any time soon

This review is for both their taco truck on Milpas and their restaurant. I really wanted to like it, but multiple attempts did not deliver. The Al Pastor is bland and chewy. With a picture of an Al Pastor trompo cooking on the spit, you would think it would at least be crispy. No, not at all. I have never seen the Al Pastor cooking this way at their restaurants and food trucks. This is a sign that it's definitely not fresh. The other tacos I tried were carne asada and chorizo. All were similarly tasteless. The only positives would be: hat's off to them for having a taco truck in Santa Barbara and the salsa was decent. 3 attempts too many, never again.
