El Alambre

Passed the burrito test: 1/ fresh carne asada (cooked to order), 2/ fresh tortilla, 3/ fresh avocado, 4/ good salsa roja and generous about giving you a few containers. Also very nice guys - quality Mexican truck. Guess that's why I was the only gringo in line.

I bought lunch from El Alambre for the first time today. I've went on lunch time walks with coworkers to this truck a few times. Each time, the employees are friendly and quick with prepping the food orders. Every coworker has expressed how much they love the food and how fresh it tastes every time. I was sold by word of mouth (pun intended lol).I ordered a flour Quesadilla with al pastor. It comes with tortialls chips and Verde and red sauces. The red is very spicy, which I love! I was not surprised by the portion I paid for thfe price, but, it's so impressive to see. I took my food on the go and ate back at my office. I was happy with every bite and friendly service! Thanks for lunch El Alambre, see ya again soon!

When I tried birria tacos in DC where I currently live, I was thoroughly unimpressed. It wasn't bad, but I didn't get why everyone was so obsessed. I knew when I came home to California I had to try it again, and I'm so glad I found El Alambre because this changed the game for me. The quesabirria is a Friday special only with 3 tacos for $13.50. The tortillas were soooo crispy and balanced out with the tenderness of the meat and the thick layer of cheese. I loved how you could taste so much flavor in the meat and the consommé without it being overly salty. The only thing I didn't like was that the pickled onions weren't pickled long enough, so they still had that sharp raw onion flavor. It's true that the best tacos come from a truck. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

To start off, I have to say that El Alambre has been on my bookmarks for a hot minute and on my favorites on DoorDash for awhile. What caught my attention was their quesabirria tacos. It just looked so amazing!I ended up ordering some yesterday since I was really hungry coming from a hair appointment. I was too lazy to cook, so I figured I'd order a few things from El Alambre.My order consisted of:-Quesabirria tacos w/ broth (came with 3)-Alambre style taco with carne asadaFeedback of items:-Quesabirria tacos with broth: when I opened the box, I was in awe. It looked like the photos on Doordash and I was stunned by how big this was. This Quesabirria taco has double the tortilla, and it was perfect. The meat was hearty and not too salty. The broth itself had aromas of cumin and it was delicious! Probably on my top list of Quesabirria tacos :) Alambre style taco: tbh I wasn't so sure what to expect but whenever a restaurant has a specific way they amp up menu items, I'm all for it. I opted to get carne asada with this and man.. this was delicious! The carne asada were cubed in chunks and the added Chile and cheese to this was amazing. I think two would have done it for me, but ever since I ate the one I got I want more!! If I had jalapeños to this, I'd be all for it.Overall, food here was great and I'll definitely have to try it fresh next time. Probably will get it again when I crave for Quesabirria tacos :')

Seriously the best taco truck in SF. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients and delicious. Chips are excellent with just the right crunch and salt. My new favorite place for lunch while at work.

I wish I had experienced something close to the overall 4.5-star rating other Yelpers have given El Alambre. I enjoyed the fajita-esque grilled onions & bell peppers that made up the Alambre style taco, however the camarones had little flavor; the review goes downhill from here. The carne asada in our tacos & mulita was royally bad, I'm talkin' tough, low-quality meat that even the beef lovers in my group wouldn't even touch beyond the first shockingly bad bite. Carnitas & pollo tacos were middle-of-the-road (I think everyone was just relieved it was better than the carne asada.) Quesabirria tacos came three to an order & were stuffed with beef stew, but the beef lacked seasoning, & the tortillas were that maddening in-between texture where they weren't quite crispy, but not exactly soft. Not horrible enough to deserve two stars, but they are toeing that line.

I've walked by this truck 100s of times, I'm so happy I tried it!Excellent tacos, I came on a Friday so got to try their Birria. I got one of each: birria, carne asada, carnitas, and shrimp. I got all as regular except the shrimp which I got alambre style (melted cheese, bell pepper, sautéed onion). Excited to go back and try more.

Taco truck style Mexican food, who can say no? Our office group needed something filling minus the itis (iykyk) so we filled up our bellies with tacos and burritos. I, myself, had a super burrito with camarones and luckily every order comes with a side of cronnnchy chips with salsa verde and something else that set my mouth on fire. A good combination for those who prefer textures in their every bite, but please do be cautious about that heat. Next time will be the birria tacos!

Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, coming from somebody who's specifically gone to Mexico to find good Mexican food. Great taco truck 10/10

Best Mexican you can get in downtown San Francisco imo. Meat quality is top notch! I like the burritos and their nachos are hella good.
