Review from Cactus F.
San Francisco, CA
12/23/2011
I ordered a tripe burrito of all things.
I'm Chinese.. so I am a bit adventurous and tripe is not foreign to me. I just never had tripe in a burrito.. wanted to be more authentic so I went with it. My boy had himself a regular pork or chicken super size and I had a regular.
Let me tell you, this shit is the bomb. Best burrito I have ever consumed in my life. Unfortunately I was already stuffed before eating so when I finished it ( forced myself to consume this monster while it was still hot ), I wanted to vomit. A stomach can only hold 4 cups of solid/fluid at a time so t hat is probably why.
Tripe Burrito : Had orange peel essence, sweet, crispy bits, salty, spicy, delicious little tid bits of tripe, rice, and soft white beans. OH BABY. I can't go to Best Buy anymore because this truck is always there.. and I am so broke. -

My "taco/burrito" spot when I head home after a morning jog....and to do some side-shopping at Best Buy :)
I'll say this taco truck is one of the few places where the taco, burrito, quesadilla, etc. is NOT oily. I usually stick to Carne Asada or Al Pastor, but so far, every type of meat I've chosen has been marinated well and taste awesome. You know how when you are towards the end of your burrito, that whole section is usually pretty saucy and wet due to 'gravity'? Well, the way they made the burrito here...it doesn't get soggy all the way to the last bite.
Got to mention the service as well. It is top-notch and the dudes in the truck are nice and aware of who ordered what (I'm especially grateful when there's a long 'waiting' line and some customers order the same type of burrito, so you can imagine some 'hey, i ordered that burrito so I'm going to take it even though I just ordered 2 mins ago' syndrome). That's right muchacha....I have my eye on you next time I'm there....you line cutter...and you...'but I ordered that burrito too!' Grrrrrr -

If El Farolito was a truck. You can't go wrong with any of the selections here. I really wish they weren't all the way out near the Best Buy otherwise I would come here and sample the rest of their meats. A must-try.

5 stars for the meat, I just think every other element of my burrito brought down the quality. The meat is so juicy and flavorful, it is definitely something you have to try on your way out of Best Buy.

Love coming here to pick up a quick and tasty taco. The customer service is actually very pleasant! There's also a good variety of meats or lack thereof (dependant upon your diet preference).
I believe the prices are on point. The food tastes nice and fresh here.
Definitely give it a try! It's right next to Best Buy. You can't miss it. -
Review from Richard C.

Still the best tacos and burritos to date! I've tried many others, but the food here still reigns supreme. The only downside to the burritos is that it doesn't fill you up, but don't let that stop you from getting it because it still has an amazing punch of flavor.
The best part about their tacos is that it's not all watery from the beans or sauce. I've had a couple of tacos that became soggy from other places due to the beans and that killed my meal. These guys know how to make perfect tacos!Listed in: Best!

I love their tacos here!
I've been coming here ever since the whole food truck become a craze, and their tacos are on point BUT... I just came here the other day.. I'm sad that they skimp on the meat. They gave less meat then before.. and I was a little disappointed. BUT IT STILL TASTE SO GOOD! ... If they are to give out so little meat, then I definitely think they should lower the price. Just saying! -

Had a chicken quesidilla from this truck during lunch nearby Mission & 16th. It cost around $6.50 and was humongous in size and very tasty. They had this greenish looking saucy that was a little spicy, but not too overpowering. They have a variety of meat to choose from like lengua (cow tongue), buche (stomach), asada, grilled chicken, etc. Basically you choose a type of meat and decide whether you want tortas, tacos, burritos, or quesidillas from here. Overall, a pretty good Mexican place for food, but don't come here if you're on a diet. Also, CASH ONLY.

I thoughts it was good! The price was definitely right. I walked there on my lunch break and for one....it felt good to get off my butt and walk to lunch and secondly there's something ritual about standing outside and eating Mexican style street tacos. I also liked the fact that they had mexican coke! The only reason I didn't go with 5 stars is because they don't have refried beans. Oh well, sometimes San Francisco is too healthy for it's own good ;-). -

Seriously, what food truck puts out food like this? Perhaps I'm just a novice food truck eater, but I was expecting somewhat greasy and mostly sub-par food when we placed our order. I opted for two veggie tacos (under $2 each) and was shocked by how good these things were! Not greasy in the slightest -- corn tortilla, rice, beans and the perfect amount of spice. All around great order and a great little bit for lunch on the cheap!

Radical tacos! Best Buy is lucky to have them out front because I've spent money in there just waiting for the taco line to die down. And I've also been to the El Tonayense on 24th, and strangely the tacos were less delicious.

I'm generally a picky eater. So I was pleased when I could get the basic taco fare for a really cheap bill! Fast service and super delicious.

I was fucking starving and about to hit the road/ get on the freeway to go camping. Parking in San Francisco is abysmal and the food is expensive. Enter: taco truck right next to massive parking lot. A winning combination, if I've ever seen one. Veggie tacos, low prices, plentiful parking, aguas frescas, air conditioning. Good things alone, sure, but in concert? Wonderful!
Another tidbit: if there is a line, it moves very quickly-- these guys are pros! -

taco thursdays!
taco thursdays!
taco thursdays at tonyanese!!
actually, i could never remember the name.. but you know it's the taco truck parked right out of best buy! i always get the same thing.. carnitas tacos with mild sauce. i've also tried their spicy (red) sauce as well, but there's definitely more flavor with the mild green sauce. and from time to time, i like to mix it up with horchata.
and 5 stars for the guys who work here who always gets our 6-different-tacos-with-extra-lime orders correctly. there's no better way to spend a thursday night! -

Don't be scared to go eat out of a taco truck. This place follows health code and I've eaten there plenty of times - never a problem! You can smell the taco truck blocks away. BEST TACOS IN TOWN hands down! Their tacos are way better than the tacos sold in any typical Mexican restaurants. They're convienient and right outside of Best Buy's parking lot. My boyfriend likes the lengua (tongue) tacos, but I'd rather stick to the carne asada. Spicy please with an orchata on the side.

Wow this is some good S**T!!
I've heard so many great things about this taco truck I'm surprised there aren't any reviews on this one at Best Buy. The tacos are great and cheap, the guys were friendly and most importantly the truck was clean. I think I even saw a letter posted from the Health Dept. commending them on their high standards. There's only one negative and that's the runny guac they use. -

The cashier needs to learn how to use proper food handling technique. The only gripe I have about this truck is that the cashier adds the veggies and wraps up the burrito and I've never seen them use hand sanitizer. Other than that the food is damn tasty.

The tacos here are amazing! I like to get the spicy tacos. Their spicy sauce is really good. I don't know how they make it but it is the perfect combination of flavor and spice. I have tried a burrito here too, and it was okay but now I always get the tacos. The tacos are the best!

one of my favorite taco trucks in the city. the carne asada tacos with marinated jalapenos and carrots are off the hook with that hot sauce. meat is tender, juicy and flavorful.
