Tacos Negris

This used to be my go-to Mexican joint and a place I would always recommend if someone asked for an awesome taco truck. I ceased going to taco trucks and wanting Mexican food in general after moving to a town that has like 17 Mexican restaurants and the thought of Mexican food made me sick. However, recently, I had a massive craving but they seem to always be closed whenever I head that direction. I also heard through the grapevine that ownership has changed. Today, that changed and I finally was able to curve that craving!SERVICE:- Yes, the ownership changed. The truck used to be ran by two sweet ladies. Now, it is ran by two middle aged males. - I mean they are nice and repeats order verbatim per the two wonderful ladies. FOOD:- Super disappointing. - I always order a regular burrito with al pastor and everything. - I loved this truck so much because the burrito was not too wet and was filled with punches of immense flavor. - The meat used to be so juicy. Now the meat is dry like cardboard. - The rice used to be so naturally orange, so colorful, and super flavorful. Now the rice is flavorless and dry. - Hey the tortilla is nice and toasty. It was nice to have that crunch and burnt under taste. - Somehow you can no longer taste the pico de gallo. The onions are tasteless. The cilantro no longer shines. - Prices seem to be increased by $1 all around vs my last experience.AMBIANCE:- I love Niles. I love the homey town. I love the train. I love the antiques. I love the assortment. I love the options (tea time, ice cream, etc.). PARKING:- Never should be difficult even during Farmer's market on Saturdays. - Two parking lots. - Plus many park at the car wash where this truck is located (of course out of the way from those that are actually washing their cars)Ugh, where am I going to go to now?Overall: Salsa in the cup is the same. Orders are the same. Ingredients are the same. Jalapeños aka names of a can are the same. Presentation is the same.

I have no idea what happened to this spot. I paid 14.00 for a super carne asada burrito and I didnt even finish it. They forgot the sour creamThey forgot the salsa... WHO DOES THAT?!?!?!?Rice has no flavorAsada was fatty and in small chunksLOOK AT THE OTHER RECENT YELPS... THEY JUST GAVE UP...

Absolute banger. $2.50 for one taco which is decently priced. Sometimes they don't ask you if you want jalepenos so you gotta ask them. Ain't nothing major. In a good location to sit nearby and enjoy. Trash cans all around Nile so that's easy too. There's a bathroom down the street to wash your hands. Love it. We need more taco trucks.

Unfortunately the original owner (Negris) sold this taco truck and let's just say it's not the same.

I have actually tried Taco Negris twice. The first time I tried their food had an Al Pastor and a Carnitas taco. I thought the carnitas taco was outstanding, the tortilla was hot, soft, carnitas were hot, tender with just a slight crisp, flavorful and was so good it tasted great with just onions and cilantro. The Al Pastor was flavorful but a bit drier and could use some juicy pico de gallo or a really good salsa.Based upon the first trio I thought they were a solid 4.5 overall. The second trip I invited a friend and he ordered 5 tacos: a Lengua, a Shrimp, an Al Pastor and two Carnitas. I ordered 3 tacos and a Shrimp Tostada for my wife: an Al Pastor and two Carnitas tacos. I thought the overall taco was not as hot and the carnitas were a bit drier such that I could have used some really good salsa or pico de gallo so maybe 3.5 (3 for the Al Pastor and 4 for the carnitas) overall. My wife said the shrimp had no flavor but was okay (a 3). They asked if I wanted Mayo and I wasn't sure if my wife would want Mayo so I asked if they could put it on the side. They said they either put it on the shrimp or they don't. I'm not sure if maybe the Mayo had the seasoning/flavor so the tostada tasted plain. My friend thought his tacos were as follows: Carne Asada a 3, Lengua a 4, Shrimp a 4.5 and Carnitas a 5 so 4.3 overall.I would give it a solid 4 and will definitely try it again and hope the carnitas are as good as my first trip. Also, we'll try the Shrimp Tostada again but with the Mayo this time. Taco Negris might be a 4 on off days and a 5 on good days. Regardless of what kind of day they are having, overall they are a must try.

This used to be my favorite spot but the problem is you never know when they will be there. And they don't have a phone number to call to make sure that they are there before making the trek. I don't know how many times I've come here only to find out that they aren't here. Where is the consistency? Or at least a heads up for your customers?

Taco truck located in the Town of Niles. The Jesus truck as some people say (there is a large portrait of Him on the truck). A bunch of reviewers rave about the shrimp & octopus tostada so I got one of those. Also got a pastor taco.Shrimp & octopus tostada: shrimp was melt-in-your mouth.....the octopus not so much. I get that octopus tends to be chewy but the chunks on the tostada were overly chewy (think rubber bands). It could've been better if the octopus was cut into smaller pieces. Eating the tostada was pretty much enjoying mainly the shrimp & avocado but when it came to an octopus chunk it was *chew chew chew*. The octopus had little flavor to it as well. Overall not sure if the tostada was really worth the 8 bucks.Pastor taco: not the most tender pastor I've had but its strong delicious smoky spicy flavor almost makes up for all of it. I enjoyed it overall. Would recommend.As I mentioned before, the truck is in the Town of Niles so it's not the most accessible food truck in the bay. If you're already planning to visit the Town of Niles then definitely check the Jesus taco truck out. Otherwise, there are other taco trucks that are arguably better in the area (not a bash.....it's just that the taco truck game in the Bay Area is pretty strong). *Cash only*

This is BY FAR the best taco truck in the fremont area!! If you're in the niles area you have to come by and try the food here! Me and my family have been coming here for years and our favs are the burritos and tacos here. Meat is always well seasoned and so tasty, highly recommend!

Fish tacos available on Friday so I had to swing by. Also ordered the al pastor and carnitas tacos, and the shrimp and octopus ceviche. All were quite tasty and freshly made. Great service and food will have me returning!

I've seen this taco truck for years. Never tried the food until today. The truck itself is located on the south end of the Niles strip. Right in front of the do-it-yourself car wash and right beside the train depot. We tried quite a few things today: Fish ceviche tostada: Delicious! Just the right amount of lemon for acidity, fresh, finely chopped up fish, avocado, and red onion on top of a tostada that you can choose to have Mayo/no Mayo between the tostada and ceviche. Shrimp and octopus tostada: This was also raw (at least it tasted raw) but with the lemon and cocktail sauce on the side. Even with the lemon and cocktail sauce, it was a bit bland and the octopus was already rubbery before I put lemon on it. So, decided to make it into ceviche when I got home and let the shrimp sit in a bowl mixing it with lemon and cocktail sauce for a few minutes. So much better once it was ceviche-tized. This is an easy pass for me next time.Carnitas taco: Also, delicious! It's a small taco that packs a punch! The carnitas was perfectly cooked. Not oily like some other places. The meat was super tender and flavorful. Definitely getting this again!Super burrito w/ chorizo: This thing is huge! The husband really liked it. All the fixings including avocado and sour cream. He's a fan!If I could give this place a 4.5-4.75, I would in a heart beat.
