Tacos Patron

Two visits in and both times solid. Food tastes fresh and generous portions. Service is very friendly and accommodating to tweak your order. Ambiance is whatever your car provides, if you eat in the parking lot. There are three stools alongside the truck, but the weather was making that a bad idea.It's been a pleasant experience both times, and would go when I'm craving something delicious.

Very unprofessional when dealing with the CV wrestling team. Promises were not kept. Trying to contact them impossible.

Saw the taco truck while driving past and made a mental note to try it. I got the burrito bowl and it was decent. I chose the al pastor meat and it has pretty good flavor, even though it wasn't on the rotisserie for cooking. The rice was moist and had good flavor. Loved the side salad, but could use more salsa next time. Pretty decent in terms of flavor and price.

Been meaning to stop by and try there super burrito and birria. It did not disappoint,very flavorful and good portion. So many different dishes to try and good prices. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

Seen the truck for a while but haven't tried until today, and I'm glad we did! Ordered quesabirria for myself and the meat was tender and flavorful; the consommé was perfect; the tortilla was crispy. Hubby ordered tacos with al pastor and he loved it. He's usually picky with the meat but was completely satisfied because of how tender and perfectly cooked it was. Gotta say...this is the BEST Mexican food in CV (we've tried the others)! Service with a smile and willing to accommodate (I requested no onions and no cilantro). Thank you & we'll be back!

Stopped here. Before getting on the freeway an.. an to my surprise was shocked at the high amount of positivity coming from such a small place.. they didn't have wat we wanted but the owner made sure we tried their food despite the inconvenience.

Cuban Torta was so good I had a hard time putting it down. Then the chicken super burrito delivered with equally delicious flavors. And the guy there was super nice. Will be back for sure. Gotta try the Birria.

I'm a big truck food fan, especially tacos. When I can find a good one, I love going: the simple setup, talking w/the owners, smelling the great food. Tacos Patron is a great experience! Wonderful food, friendly, helpful staff, great location! Had the taco plate w/chorizo, carnitas & lengua; all delicious! Came with extra pickled onions & jalapenos & added refried beans, which were super!Well done!

This review is regarding Tacos Patron's lack of ethics and professionalism. The short version of the story is they promised to donate 18% of sales to my son's wrestling team but have so far failed to do so and are not returning any messages. Here's the full story: I hired Nelson from Tacos Patron to sell food at my son's CVHS wrestling tournament in Dec 2024, which 1000+ people usually attend annually. I was required to give them a $500 refundable deposit to ensure I wouldn't back out. He promised to donate 18% of the gross sales to the wrestling team since this event is our primary fundraiser for the year. Nelson was very responsive initially but everything went downhill after he received my $500. After that it seemed like he was ghosting me. I wasn't even sure they would show up to the event because they moved with no urgency to secure the insurance paperwork required by the school district. He didn't respond to my repeated texts and calls and I worried we would have no food vendor for the event. By a last ditch effort on our part, we got them approved by the school district literally the night before the event. Kudos to the admin at CVUSD for staying late to get it done (now that's customer service!) but no thanks to Nelson, who was dragging his feet. My wife had to trick him by calling with a different phone number so he finally answered the phone. Working with him has been a nightmare.After the event was over I gave Nelson a Venmo code to send the donation. He promised again that he would get it to us and refund my personal $500 in about a week. In a week I followed up with him but no answer. This went on for a while and the rare times he would answer he would say "give me another week". To be fair, there were heavy rainstorms that day so the number of customers were less than hoped. Still, he said it wasn't our fault and he would make good on his promise. After repeated texts over the course of 2 months, he ghosted me again. After I left a stern voice message about a month in, he did finally text back, reassuring me he would donate something. BTW, he never refunded my $500 so I had to get my credit card company to take action to return it to me. To this day, 3 months later, we still haven't received the donation or any explanation why. Consider my horrible experience before hiring them for an event.

When it's cold, I want heavier food. Usually that's meat. I'm not eating big chunks of beef for a while, and the barbecue places I like are popular and run out of the two items I like, so timing counts. When looking for someplace new/close, I saw this. It wasn't that clear to me by the map where they were, and when I drove by a couple of times I didn't see a truck (I'm reluctant to chase after a truck since I've often tried to go to a particular truck, only to find nothing there). Then I tried well before their posted closing time, and saw the truck on the street. It helps that they're close.I usually get tacos, or nachos, sometimes menudo or something else, if I want Mexican food. Burritos are too much, in a couple ways. But I saw the review for Torta Cubana, and thought I'd try that (Trader Joe used to have a wrap that I liked, plus I like Cuban food). If given a choice, I'd prefer something other than a sandwich (American style at least), so I actually haven't had a torta before. But I decided to try that. Like many smaller eateries, credit card is extra. Cash or select cash electronic payment are options.I was surprised--I really liked it (despite what looks like sliced hot dog in the middle--I don't eat those by choice). In fact, I've been there three times since md-month. I can only eat a half at a time, so I get two meals out of it (re-heating makes the grease more noticeable though).They are wrapped in foil, set on top of paper, and in a styrofoam box, and bagged. I have been reusing the first styrofoam box since it doesn't really get dirty with the paper there. I'd prefer a paper-based container, since styrofoam can't even be recycled (neither can most of the plastic takeout containers) and I don't want to contribute to more landfill if I can help it. After I get my fill of these and tire of them (for a while), I'll try something else.
