I've been seeing this spot a lot on social media and decided to give it a try. There is no menu to see how much each item are and it is cash only. You can call or text them your order. We ordered ahead of time by texting them our order so we did not wait long for our food. We came at 8:30 PM when they opened and there were already cars parked on the curb waiting for their food. You can see the al pastor on the trompo. The food from this food truck smells really good. Food: 10/10 It looked like they are known for al pastor so we ordered al pastor tacos and an al pastor quesadilla. The white cheese they use in the quesadilla was so good! I wonder if they make just the cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla was a big portion too. The taco tortilla is a bit thicker and a little bigger than the street taco size. The al pastor is SO GOOD! I'm used to al pastor looking like little bits and pieces, sometimes dry, or sometimes too oily but this place has big cuts of al pastor and the marinade was amazing too. The green and orange salsas are also light because it wasn't too thick and it paired well with the tacos and quesadilla too. The herbs and grilled onions taste very fresh too. Will definitely come back and maybe try different meats next time.:) Ambiance: The workers were nice and friendly. There isn't a parking spot but a lot of cars just wait in the cars on the curb.

Tried Tacos El Primo because a friend ordered it late at night, and it's near their place. Easily one of the best taco spots I've ever had! The tacos come with delicious grilled onions, which I love. Highly recommend ordering ahead by phone for convenience!

MENU AND FOOD: Tacos El Primo serves up a variety of taco truck favorites, though for some reason, they don't have a posted menu.SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service was friendly and efficient. The truck is pretty plain and simple. They do not have seating or tables. PARKING: Located in a small lot, they only have street parking.IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: We had their Al pastor, cabeza, brisket and carne asada tacos, all of which were delicious! Their onions and cilantros are finely chopped and their green and red salsas paired nicely. There seemed to be a lot of phone orders being placed and picked up by regulars. The tacos were also pretty filling, so we'll definitely be back!

I would rate this place higher but DAMM does it take them a long time. Usually the wait for me is like 40 mins to sometimes over an hour. It is open late-late which is pretty nice. This place has really good (PRETTY GASS) al pastor tacos. Sometimes the quality various though. Really big fan with the pineapples and everything. The red sauce has a nice to kick to it too.

All they serve is tacos and quesadillas and this shit took 45 minutes. Good food but don't do it if your hungry.

A lot of people were telling me about this place. I hope it is just a fluke the night I went. The quesadilla was better than the tacos. No menu, no prices and the signage was poor. Service is friendly and efficient.

The Al Pastor tacos are delicious, the meat is so tender and juicy. The portions are great and the tortilla is nicely toasted. A++

I have tried many taco trucks around the Bay Area and this truck has my favorite al pastor in the Bay Area. The adobo used is really flavorful and the meat quality is real good and juicy. Both their tacos and quesadillas smack, it's a must try. The salsas are real good as well. It's a real popular place as there's always people there ready to order, but that's how you know this place is bomb.That being said, their opening times are inconsistent. Sometimes, they arrive to the location at 9 or even 10 pm. It's best to call them beforehand to see when they arrive. But, they are open real late anyways, so this would be real good for some late night tacos.The 2 guys running this joint are real friendly and really created a friendly atmosphere. There isn't any seating. The only table is the small surface attached to the trailer. Make sure you bring cash or have a Venmo account ready to use. They don't accept card.
