I ordered three tacos. The Birria was very tender and juicy, the Aastor was good, and the Lengua was my favorite because of the sweetness of the meat combined with the sourness of the sauce. The ceviche is great on tortilla chips.
Lunch$10–20

My partner even said, "finally, a good Mexican place near us!" This Mexican establishment delivers on everything from taste and quality to speed to cost.

Review update- I’ve been here a few times now and there is an issue with consistency. They’ve also messed the order up twice (out of like 5 times) with that said it is still a top 5 taco truck in the East Bay. Excellent Carnitas...Read More

First time here. Ordered 1 taco of Pastor, Cabeza, Carnitas, & Birria. The meat was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. Had green salsa, which had a great flavor and wasn't too spicy. Lots of veggies available as well. Service was quick and polite. There isn't any seating area...Read More

Quite literally the best tacos in the entire Bay Area. staff is very nice and knowledgeable. Just wish they weren’t too stingy on the salsas. They charge extra. Otherwise, top tier food!

EL AUTLENSE is street taco magnifique. TRIPAS, PUERCO, CARNE ASADA are all delicious. TRIPAS are the best, though. I come for the tripas.trips. The ladies are sweet, accommodating, and make delicious food.
