La Penca Azul Taco Truck

Fricking gem of a truck. The staff and the food are spectacular. Some of the best chicharones I have ever had. So good that I had to take a pic after I'm halfway through. Here is what you do:- drop off your car at High St car wash- walk under the freeway to La Penca azul- eat- go home and take a nap.You're welcome..

Solid spot for tacos. Looking forward to trying their burrito! I called in on my order and didn't have to wait! Service was great.

Hidden gem alert!! This is my Mexican food spot. Everything was delicious from the carne asada super burrito to the intestine (yes people intestine) tacos. The BEST thing I had off the menu were their carnitas tacos. Juicy, fatty, meaty with the perfect blend of seasoning. I die a slow slow death in bliss from those things. The prices are also solid here especially compared to other taco trucks in the Oakland area.I've heard good things about the restaurant in Alameda but haven't been there.Warning!! This place is not easy to get into. There's oncoming freeway exit traffic that seems never ending at some point when you try to turn in. You just have to push through the ant trail till someone makes way. At first it made me not want to try to come back but then I had my first carnitas taco and now I don't even care. I'll be here very very soon.

I have nothing to say probably the Best burrito I've had in a long time. Quality food quality people this is a legit spot.

La Penca Azul is parked nearby a gas station which houses senor burrito. azul has parking for only one vehichle. accessing and entering the driveway is diifficult-much crossing traffic.noticed the pricing on this truck is definitely the highest of any taco truck in oaktown. (pricing is higher than the pic shown)eats:asada burrito(5.50)passed on guac and cheese -good sized burrito, mostly mushy beans, rice and cilantro-beef very dry and salty, some didn't taste fresh.-many tasty salsas, vinegared veggies\jalapeno providedfrijoles refritos:-pricey, not so fresh food-lack of parking, difficult reentry -friendly upsell.

Had a Delicious Carne Asada Burrito from La Penca Azulejo Truck. The size of this thing is massive, and it was so delicious! The guacamole was fresh and the steak was tasty (there were a few chewy pieces, but that comes with the territory). It also came with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeño as well as a bag of pickled carrots. The parking lot where the truck is is a bit tough to get in and out of by car. It's right next to the mash gas station, but you have to exit mash and go to the lot next to it, and the street it's on is very busy b/c there is an entrance to 880 right after the mash gas station.

Can't say i'm a fan, but it's probably the best taco truck near my work. the prices have gone up a bit, and the parking is still bad at times, but the food is still good.i'll probably never order the their steak again, because it's basically just ground beef. their pastor, or spicy pork, also isn't that great, because it's not even spicy.also, i just noticed they have FRIED PORK. definitely going to give this a hollering.also also, i'm mad. they sell arizona ice teas for $1.50.

After going to Taqueria Sinaloa, I was eager to try some other taco trucks in Oakland. Found La Penca which also has impressive ratings. It is little hard to find and is located next to a gas station which also BTW happens to have a Taqueria inside.The super burrito was awesome. For $10, it can feed two and was really good. The caramel cookie was very good too. Oakland taco trucks continue to impress.

Mucho Bueno!Very yummy and huge food! Loved them all!!!Paid 12 bucks for two shrimp tacos and a beef burrito.Nice filling food...

Fantastic carnitas tacos and the American burrito is unreal! If these guys parked on International they would have a line down the block. Very highly recommended.
