“ It's like a food truck slash restaurant. The food is authentic and great. I think even my Mexican ex would agree. ”
“ When we crave tacos carne asada, which is often, this is where we get them. We've never found a better taco in over twenty years of eating here. The flavor is intense and a perfect balance of the marinated beef, onion, cilantro, and salsa. ”
“ Quieren un burrito que les quite el hambre, y los llene de sabor? Pidan un súper burrito de asada con chorizo no les fallara al paladar! La atención la verdad siempre es buena, pido limón eextra y con gusto me dan no una rebanada más, no dos, me dan 3! Y no andan cobrandotelo. Las salsas muy buenas, y el servicio es rápido. No tardan 5 minutos antes de darte tu comida. Y tienen unas bancas donde sentarse al aire libre pero tapados del sol. Muy agradable, recomendable, y sin duda, muy delicioso ”
“ The best food truck ever. Had a regular burrito with Al Pastor ( slow roasted Pork) it was a true mouth watering ever. Wow. Come to Tacos El Grullo. You won't be disappointed ”
“ One of my best taco truck experience ever! I was getting my car serviced a block away and saw a small line forming around 11:30am. Tacos was $1.75 each (as of Oct 2019) and I decided to try the Al Pastor. Food came out quickly and was piping hot. The corn tortillas were one of my the best I ever had. Not too oily and had the perfect amount of texture. The Al Pastor meat was equally as enjoyable. A bit out of the way unless you work around the auto shops and wasn't sure when the hours were, but will try again! ”
“ This truck is too awesome. Like the excellent tacos from the Grullense off of 5th, id rate these as some of the best in the area. They grill the tortillas very nicely and meats of pastor, tripa and lengua are excellent. There's a bit of a gaggle of people and what seems to be the scruffy El Grullo taco truck dog to boot. Give this place a try if you're in the area, it's excellent. ”
“ ****Note: This review is specific to the Taco Truck that likes to park anywhere on Middlefield, most notably between Douglas and Dumbarton**** RWC Taco Quest Stop #3 4.5 Tacos: $1.00 each Seating: NO Cash Only Size: Small 2 tortillas Good for Groups: No, but if you like standing and eating... Parking: No. Find a side street and walk. Order at the window. The tortilla was dipped in oil and plenty of meat on top. Carne Asada was tasty and moist. Cheapest. tacos. So Far. Great deal, great flavor, just don't expect to sit. Ambiance: Next to a car garage. Parked. Ambiance? Not so much. This truck moves, and you just have to keep your peepers open for it. Service was friendly, but ask for extra napkins. They don't skim on the toppings and this is a must on your taco journey! ”
