Tacos Santiaguito

In school I was taught to make my thesis statement clear so I'll lead with the big idea - do yourself a favor and order the Al Pastor Torta, it is easily the best torta I've had in San Jose and is the gold standard that I compare all others against.Okay, now that I have that out of the way, on to my ramblings...It's a blessing and curse when the first thing you order at a restaurant is so delicious that you can only ever order that when you come back. It's great because you find a new go-to meal, but it becomes a problem when a friend asks, "Hey, is that Tacos Santiaguito food truck any good?". Can I with a clear conscious really say yes when I've only ever tried one menu item, and it isn't even one of the Mexican food truck classics (burritos, tacos, etc.)?I've solved this moral quandary by emphatically saying, "Yes!", which encourages them to eat there where they will most likely order something different than I did, thereby allowing me to collect their opinions of various dishes without me having to bear the sacrifice of a torta-less meal - really ingenious if I do say so myself.This is all a long way of saying that I can speak from experience, though not necessarily my own, that menu items beyond the Al Pastor Torta are also solid. However, with a heavenly sandwich like that at your disposable the real question becomes, why bother?

They pulled up into the empty parking lot at 6:11pm. Set up within minutes and was so good!We got the asada taco, compechanos taco, pastor taco, pastor alambre, and pulled pork (carnitas) burrito. The mild salsa was *chefs kiss*. A slow kicker to tie everything together.Personally, I didn't like the alambre too much, it was a bit difficult to eat. I would probably just stick with the tacos, as they are amazing on their own.Very nice taco truck with great food and a quiet parking lot to sit in.

Not the best burrito I've had, but it served as a quick and filling meal. I like that they have lots of meat options and a little mini salsa and encurtidos bar. Service was fast and efficient. I ordered a regular burrito with al pastor meat. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of flavor in the meat. It made me question if I had gotten something other than al pastor. The rice was also a bit on the soft side so the overall texture of the burrito was on the mushier side. I'm not one to get a burrito at a taco track very often, but I needed the more practical to-go and less messy option this time. Perhaps their tacos are better? Or their other meat options?

Great taco especially the carnitas. Not so friendly but so cares. Taco truck so I don't expect any fancy vibe.

Aight, well, for the like the third time I've been here with the madam, we just can't get enough! This place gives me the WILDEST DIARRHEA and I just can't stop coming!We all know Taco Trucks are the schizz bizz, but did you know this place is also the Bees Knees? For the record, I never ever say that outside of Yelp Reviews, cuz honestly, I don't know what the heck it means. Even now. *Especially* now.Anyway, usually go for the Asada Tacos, but they have some other really solid options. The sauces are hella good and I also pick up a few serrano peppers while I'm at it and boi does it burn so good!You know, the kind that burns twice ;)IYKYK.Anyway, come here. You will not regret it! Well, your mouth won't. But you might later, in about 24 hours ^________^KThxBai, LuvYou!!!

Found this truck via Yelp and going by the reviews seemed to be a promising place to try some street tacos. Got their carne asada and chicken tacos.Carne asada(steak) was seasoned very well and had no chewy fat pieces. 10/10Chicken was way too salty for my liking but they did cook it very well. 7.5/10Their salsa verde is mild but very tasty 9/10The red salsas were my least favorite. Overall it's a solid 4.5 stars. Is definitely come back.See pics for reference.

2/15/25. Prices increased. Burrito is now $15 and nothing to rave about, also small compared to your average "super burrito". I always liked the tacos, but not sure its worth it anymore. I do like the salsa though.

I've been coming here for years and have introduced so many people to this little gem. My go-to order is always the pastor and lengua tacos, the meat is consistently flavorful and juicy. The street tacos come with the usual raw onion and cilantro, while the pastor includes pineapple, which adds a nice touch. I also love the grilled onion slices!My boyfriend is from San Diego, and he's pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food, but this is his favorite spot in San Jose. Depending on his mood, he'll either go for the street tacos or a quesadilla.They have a sauce bar with three options, along with radishes, pickled jalapeños, carrots, and onions. The staff has been the same for as long as I can remember - always friendly and working quickly to get through the nighttime lines.

This is hands down my favorite spot for tacos in the South Bay--I come here at least once a week. My go-to is the carne asada tacos, but when I'm in the mood for something different, I get the carne asada quesadilla, which comes with guac and sour cream. The tacos usually come with delicious grilled onions, and while I've tried the pastor and chorizo, the carne asada is definitely the star here. The tacos traditionally come with two tortillas, but I opt for just one to keep it a bit lighter. They're a little on the greasy side, but in the best way possible--it really adds to the flavor. I'm a big fan of spicy food, so I always go for the hot salsa. The salsa area is self-serve, and a tip: ask the cashier for a ziplock bag to take home some of their spicy onion-pineapple mix. Definitely worth it!

The tripas tacos was amazing, I'm gonna go back and try the rest soon. Came an hr away to try the tacos and they didn't disappoint
