DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE ON DOORDASH ! Maybe the actual truck serves good food, but we were just brought store bought chips and pre-packaged salsa packets. It'd be one thing if the salsa was actually good, same with the chips, but the flavor was horrible and not fresh. In addition to that, they got my burrito wrong and were very skimpy on the serving sizes all around. Poor quality and overpriced.

Who knew? I know that I didn't. I do now. But now, what you don't know, now ya know, ya know...bae-bae. Baabae. My cousin offered to bring me dinner since she was making the trip to this lil Itsy Bitsy taco truck from Discovery Bay to Oakland on First Ave. Really?I did say...now I know and that shit IS legit. I have been driving past this joint for years. To be honest, I probably have passed hella shit going to where I know and trust- the mission in the city. But hey, when cold and don't want to go that far......this is the place. I got the carne asada burrito with beans, no rice and guacamole, it was just like I went to the Mission and stopped somewhere before La Taqueria and El Farlito. I don't compare anything to the Mission because it's a culture all by itself. It has changed a bit since growing up going to get burritos but that's another review for another time. The prices are extremely easy on the pockets, so please if you don't know get in the know and get yourself on over to this spot. FYI- I ate this burrito so fast, I forgot to take pictures. Hilarious! Bon Appetite.

May be the 3rd time at this taco truckMeh.... first time, delish, 2nd time made a referral, brought the referral cause we are into tacos and he was not impressed, but mine were good. This third time......well, consistency is obviously not a thing. The ground beef was equivalent to the texture and taste of the canned chef boyardee ravioli, it was not beef. Then, I risked my life because I was craving street/truck tacos---I rode a bike there. I passed a taco place, a big huge rat passed in front of me at 1st and Lake Merritt, a Toyota Prius swerved to miss me in the bike lane, a truck ran the red light at the corner by the taco truck .AND THEN---I am getting off the bike ordering tacos and there is a man there selling a basket of high quality shrimp and other boosted, I mean borrowed items, I mean EBT'd items, from some local store, I'm sure. I told him no thank you. He persisted. But, what was insane was him joking that he was going to steal my bike. I did not find it humorous. AND the saddest part of it all---there was a security guard standing right there, listening, watching and securing nothing. Not stopping the guy from bothering taco truck customers. She was just yelling out order numbers in her bullet proof vest. So, I won't be back. But, I feel customers should know. It was sensory overload. Way too early in the night too. This all happened before 9:30 pm.

Didn't make the drive there. Had it hand delivered from a colleague.But when it came, it came with a roar. The green and red sauce packets came neatly packaged. The peppers were spicy. The burrito..? I had to have it for dinner and breakfast. It was huge!!! I think I could've gone over board and ate it all. However, I wanted to be able to work after lunch so, I got what I got.

As an Oakland native born and raised I've had my share of taco trucks. This one is probably ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BAY AREA. prices have went up but they compensate very well with the meat and toppings they put on them tacos therrr. I always get the tacos haven't tried any else but I must. There carrots. Hella good. Radishes hella good. What tops off these tacos is the GREEN ONIONS. THATS RIGHT THE GREEN ONIONS. HELLA GOOD. BITE TACO. BITE GREEN ONION. this is also probably the ONLY truck that has GREEN ONION to go with your food. The workers are usually friendly. The cooks be putting it down in there. Like going before or after lunch time. Small street. They now take Venmo. Can't wait to hit them up again.

Low-key taco truck that was dank for weekday munchies. Found parking nearby; we ordered about 4 burritos for a group and had our food ready less than 10 minutes ready. I split a 15 inch (super) burrito with a friend and it was a good sized portion! We had it with barbacoa which I thought was tasty - flavorful and not dry!! Also really enjoyed the red salsa, and the chips which have a cheesey dust on it which is kind of fun. If you don't have cash, they take Venmo as well. Only qualm was the labeling of the burritos was a little tricky, so our shrimp orderer took a chomp out of the steak one before realizing the mistake.

fire taco truck that's open late nights for your nightly taco cravings!I got a carnitas taco and my bf got 3 carne asada tacos. The carnitas tacos was juicy, flavorful, and had a good amount of meat. The carne asada on the other hand was a bit dry and flavorless :cThe tacos are a liiittle on the expensive side too, $3.50 per taco. The service was nice and super quick as well! We like efficient trucks that don't keep you waiting for too long on cold nights. Overall, yum! But maybe skip the carne asada?

My friend thats born and raised in Oakland introduced me to Tacos Mi Rancho and I've never looked back. Literally the best tacos I've ever had. There's always a pretty long line, and I totally understand why and will always be willing to wait. I've introduced so many friends to this place as well and they also all agree that it's top notch. Definitely willing to go out of my way for the tacos here, highly recommend!
