Biersal Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.1 (36) • $$

"In general, I'm not a big food truck fan because they are almost all too expensive and take too long to cook the food. But if alcohol is being served somewhere and food trucks are my only option, well then, that's where I will get my grub.So the pretzel here is outrageously good. It is served hot and, I mean, super hot. It comes with some grainy mustard on the side and also a creamy tomato-basil type dip. I don't usually go for tomato dips but this one was terrific.We also tried the chicken "schnitzel" sandwich. Sounds pretty German, right? Well, it's a breaded chicken sandwich. It was very fresh and tasted good but it didn't rock my world or make me feel like I was in the Old Country. But it was good.Definitely get that pretzel."

Local Kebab

★★★★☆ 4.3 (61) • $$

"I ran into this Kebabery at the Helix Brewery and ordered a lamb and beef Döner kebab with a terrific blend of authentic Turkish spices. I say authentic because the spice mix actually comes all the way from Turkey.The Döner kebab was all about those Turkish flavors. They aggressive in a very good way and packed a touch of heat as well. The heat was subtle but definitely was felt on the palate. As a result, the lamb and beef were very flavorful. The Döner kebab also came with a familiar yogurt sauce or a Tzatziki which not only tasted great but also complimented the Turkish spices and added as a gentle cooling affect. Although the beef and lamb tasted good, I did feel they both could of been a little more tender. The Döner kebab also came with fresh lettuce and red onions. They served it on a toasted flat bread that had great flavor and texture.The gent who runs the Local Kebab is very friendly and passionate about his trade and for good reason too. You can find the Local Kebab at a variety of local breweries so I suggest you check out the L. Kebab's website."

"Good food trucks are a dime a dozen these days, and luckily for me, this was one of the good ones. I ordered fish taco and a shrimp taco as well, both were battered and fried. They also offer grilled fish tacos, I learned later, which I would of had instead, but they are not on the menu. Both tacos came served with a light white mayo based dressing and with fresh slaw and a scattering of diced tomatoes and onions (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mariscos-oceanos-san-diego?select=MU7ZUhucQjbQKSYsrq_E_g#xOJqwrG36IiQ_a52y4_FPA). The fish taco was great. The batter with crispy and the fish inside was succulent and tender. The Shrimp taco was good too, but the batter could of used just a wee bit of more time in the fryer to crisp it up. The shrimp inside were well cooked and tender (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mariscos-oceanos-san-diego?select=MU7ZUhucQjbQKSYsrq_E_g#8mzgb5f8fiYoreKoMque5w). The corn tortillas were good, but I would recommend, if they can afford it, to double up on the tortillas because the tacos had a tendency to break under the weight of ingredients, especially the sauce. The offer a cup of fish broth with every meal, which I did not partake, and they have seating available next the truck. They are located as of 1/3/15 in the Miller's Market Parking lot. Nice people too....on the upper end of 3.5 stars.."

Shawarma Guys

★★★★★ 4.7 (1342) • $$

"I was SHOOK at how delicious this place actually is.As someone with Lebanese/Syrian/Armenian roots, I have high standards when it comes to any middle eastern food and restaurant. Most places skimp on the flavor and spices to appease the "western" palette, while others are lazy in the process of crafting the foods with the traditions that are needed to uphold quality.Shawarma Guys not only keeps that flavor profile and preparation standards, but they also elevate it to a whole new level for Californians and foodies in general.Staff was super friendly and offered great recommendations. First up - the Wagyu Shawarma Egg Rolls.WOW. WOW. WOW.The egg rolls are SO crunchy and crispy, and great sized. They are FILLED with juicy, crispy, soft flavorful shawarma meat, plenty of cheese, and the toum is perfection. Seriously, I could eat these every day.Now for the California shawarma. I had no idea this thing was the size of a baby burrito, honestly I couldn't even finish it after eating the egg rolls, but man it was so damn good I would've finished it if I wasn't on my way to an event. This was filled with chicken shawarma, fries, lettuce, pickles, rice, garlic paste, tortila. Although it was excellent, I think it would be even more excellent with the beef shawarma. The chicken was soft and flavorful, the rice was amazing, crispy fries, fresh veggies, crunchy pickles, and again that amazing garlic paste. Seriously, this place is a must on anyone's SD food visits."

"So freakin good! New food truck in Linda Vista. Lots of options of not only dogs but also fries, Philly steak, michelaguas, etc. Try their signature dog D&A. You won't be disappointed! Fresh food and amazing service. What more do you want ?"

"I got a little lost finding this food truck. It's located in a lot that sells cars, so I parked among them LOL. My visit was back in July, so when I got my food, I had to keep shooing the flies away.I ordered the beef wrap and chicken plate. I also got their lemonade energy drink, which was refreshing and had cute balls of fruit floating on top.I like their fusion take of shawarma! They add a lot of veggies and give you sides of jalapenos, ketchup, etc. I honestly don't eat a lot of veggies, but this version had a nice balance of meat to veggie ratio. The owner was very nice and checked up on me and told me a little bit of his background of how he got started- worth a stop if you're in the area!"

San Diego Pizza Company

★★★★★ 5 (30) • $

"I threw a party at my house and needed to find someone who could supply the food so I didn't have to worry about anything but entertainment and drinks! I decided pizza was a definite crowd pleaser and found SD Pizza online and decided to give them a call. JT was awesome in helping me plan for everything and communication couldn't have been better. He even emailed me the morning of the event to tell me rain was sadly in the forecast and he would be coming prepared just in case. I ordered appetizers and 4 different kinds of pizza from JT - he set up tables in the backyard and had everything ready for the party. When his time was almost up, he even asked me for some trays of my own to leave us extra pizza for the rest of the night. Amazing tasting pizza and great service - will absolutely look forward to using them again!"

Mariscos La Bola

★★★★☆ 4.2 (46) • $

"The ladies who run and own this food truck are great and make some pretty good grub as well. After work, I stopped by to check them out and ordered a couple of fish tacos a la plancha or griddles over a hot flat service. The were pricey at $5 a piece out of the norm that I usually pay at the rest of the food trucks at $3.50. There price is no reflected on the menu.The fried fish tacos are well priced at $1.70 each.The tacos came with a good amount of well seasoned and griddle fish. The fish was piping hot and succulent and each taco came with two individual portions. I like the golden brown sear they applied to the fish.Both tacos came handsomely filled with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, chopped onions, and a touch of cilantro. I asked for no mayo but definitely put some of their tasty creamy chipotle sauce that's available in one of those large plastic squeeze bottles.They double wrap each taco with warm corn tortillas which I truly appreciated. Speaking of warm, the hospitality at this food truck is quite warm as well and the ladies have a good sense of humor as well."

Kraving Kabob

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Kraving Kabob food truck is a culinary oasis that deserves a detour. Tucked away at a local gas station, this place is a treasure trove of Middle Eastern flavors.The kabobs are simply amazing - succulent, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to smoky perfection. The hummus is creamy, rich, and with a taste that invites you to keep dipping. But the crispy, golden falafels stole the show for me; each bite was a perfect crunch of deliciousness. Would come back here again!!!"

Mr Adobada

★★★★☆ 3.5 (63)

"This food truck makes some pretty good al pastor. I had a pair of them for an early dinner at $2.25 a piece.They were good and the al pastor marinade was tasty, but the pork meat was a little on the dry side. They put a good amount of it on each taco. The guacamole sauce was good and so were the rest of the ingredients that came on the tacos, including the salsa.If they can find a way to keep the meat juicy that would be just grand. They lady who took my order was very nice and the man who made my tacos was cool. Outside the truck, the offer a nice salsa bar and tented seating, which is very nice of them to offer."

American Flavors

★★★★☆ 4.1 (68) • $$

"The suite at Liberty Public Market that used to house Stuffed! is now the brick and mortar location of the American Flavors food truck. They have a similar but slightly smaller menu than what the truck offers. Burgers, hot dogs, and hot sandwiches (chicken, pulled pork) were the featured items.All of the hamburgers are served with two all-natural Angus beef patties and two slices of cheese so you are getting a lot of meat and paying a commensurate price. I picked the Pulled Pork sandwich with a side of seasoned waffle fries ($12). The smoked pulled pork came with a couple of pieces of bacon topped with a BBQ sauce, pickles, and a house-made slaw.The sauce was more sweet than tangy, but it complemented the moist pork very well. The waffle fries were addictive as I could have eaten a large basket of them. For quality and value, I gave this experience a 3.5 star rating."

Herb'n Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24)

"I always enjoy a good doughnut shop and I doughnut food truck is just an added bonus! I ran into Herb'n Donuts at the Quartyard in East Village San Diego and I had already eaten but was looking forward to something sweet so I ordered the gluten free doughnut holes with a side of sage and passion fruit sauce.The order came with six holes with a nice amount of granulated sugar and a touch of cinnamon. As gluten free products go, these doughnut were quite successful. They were slightly doughy, which I don't mind at all, but for the moist part they were soft, moist, and fluffy pillows of goodness. They came with a great light brown color on the outside and with a golden light color on the inside. Passion fruit and sage sauce was the perfect partner for these little pillows of heaven. The sauce was full flavored passion fruit with overtones of sage. I liked that it was not overly sweet and offered a good creamy viscosity that coated the doughnut holes well after dipping. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that even gluten free products can be this good."

Kyrios Mariscos #2

"My first time having food here and it was delicious! I ordered their carne asada fries and it was probably one of the best I've ever had. It was a good portion size, overloaded with delicious meat, cheese, sour cream, pico, fresh avocado. The fries were Cripsy and not soggy which was a plus! The service was great, it was a little on the slow side but that's with all food trucks. It's in the corner of the Blue Liquor store parking lot in Linda Vista. I highly recommend trying them out if you're in the area. I wish I took pictures of the food, but it was just that good."

Also have to mention how top tier the service is, quick responses for orders and super nice. Tone camarón is it!!"

Birrieria Los Gueros

★★★★★ 4.7 (10)

"By far the BEST birria tacos in town! Service was great and it's woman run. I found them through a sponsor post on Instagram. I was intrigued when I saw they put beans in the tacos, which I've only seen before deep in Tijuana and other places in Mexico. I ordered 2 tacos ($3.50ish each) and a consomé. I was definitely impressed with the portion of the tacos. They come with a very generous amount of meat, yes meat not any fatty pieces trying to be passed off as meat. They come with two tortillas each, that are smothered in the birria consomé but are still crunchy. For the pairings you get radish, cebolla curtida with habanero, limes. As for the hot sauce don't be deceived by the fact it's a small container. It is VERY spicy and just takes the taco flavor to the next level. As for the consomé it is also bigger than most places, extremely flavorful. Now for my mistake, I assumed all tacos came with the beans. Make sure you add them to yours and you'll never go back to eating birria tacos without them. My entire family and I will continue coming back, this is our new birria place."

Kiko's Place restaurant

"Saw them and I tried them before when they only had a Food truck in Mission Valley . I was surprised to see today that they have a restaurant now in Dowtown . Its wasn't that big or in an upscale location but the foods are amazing here . Good serving portions , lots of spices to choose from, and creative flavorings . I had seen them on Tv too , one of the chanel my wife was watching I saw their food got featured on tv . So far I tried their CRAZY CEVICE and TACO the SAN FELIPE TACO . And MINERAL WATER for our drink coz they dont have regular water bottles . There's so much flavor going on in my mouth, delicious ! Their CRAZY CEVICHE is a real crazy its has Octopus , Shrimps , mussels , Oyster , scallop , fish , its really loaded . Their SAN FELIPE Taco ( seafood ) are loaded too and delicious . Service from Annia was excellent and very friendly . Parking is kinda hard to find and a lot of people around sitting on the streets , so I suggest go when its day time or while the sun is still up. This place is exactly in front of ROSS Store and Trolley passes in front of their place . The place has good foods, and good serving food size and friendly staff , if ever i end up again in this area i will eat here again ."

Mariscos La Reyna Del Sur 2

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (108)

"Their OG fish taco is highly recommended.Located at Texas Food and Liquor along Texas Street, has become one of my favorite taco trucks in the neighborhood, despite the abundance of food trucks in the area.I've explored various items on their menu, and I particularly recommend their Shrimp Aguachile and OG Fish Tacos. The Shrimp Aguachile, though slightly on the pricier side, guarantees a clean and fresh taste without being overly salty. The OG Fish Taco consistently delivers a flavorful, crispy experience, complemented by generous vegetables, toppings, and sauces that add texture and enhance the overall deliciousness of the crispy fish.For those looking to dine in, they offer a couple of tables. The freshness of their condiments and daily-prepared ingredients stands out. They are quite generous with toppings and add-ons, allowing diners to customize their orders.During busy hours, especially around noon, it's reasonable to expect a wait time, given the modest team running the food truck. Occasionally, they even offer free soup as a pleasant surprise. he staff is friendly, and despite the wait during peak hours, the overall experience at Mariscos La Reyna Del Sur 2 is worth a visit for taco enthusiasts."

Mama V’s Lumpia

"Growing up in San Diego you come across different foods for different cultures. Filipino foods being one of my favorites, there definitely isn't a shortage of Filipino restaurants in town. I have to say Mama V's needs to be recognized as one of the top ones out here. The lumpia by far the freshest and tastiest ones ever, the crunch the bite and the flavors are always spot on, get it as a combo plate with Pancit and rice, you're all set. The customer service was phenomenal and the team that runs the operation keeps it super clean and on point. Catch them on Sundays at the Point Loma Farmers Market, trust me you won't regret it and worth the drive. I hope these guys open a store front soon."

Yo Yo Bento

★★★★☆ 4.4 (26)

"Yo Yo Bento was a new truck to out business park and was selling Hawaiian / Japanese fusion. I was hoping to find something like Surf Brother's Teriyaki but seeing they sold a Hawaiian bento box I thought I'd just go for that. I ordered the Teri's Yaki Bento Box (Grilled chicken marinated, tempura slaw, macaroni salad, and a small Katsu sandwich). I think I would have nixed the Tempura slaw, it wasn't very good. Macaroni Salad was on the sweet side, the chicken was a pretty small portion. The Katsu sandwich was good however.I think if I try this truck again I'd stick with a Katsu bowl. Other people at work didn't like the food very much."

El Cacho Fish Taco Stand

★★★★☆ 4.1 (200) • $

"This review is for the location inside of the Tijuana Food Court in Chula Vista. My friend prefers the taco truck location as she reports the quality is better, however, on the particular Saturday we went it was closed. For all the raving she did, I was nothing short of disappointed. The fried fish taco, Ensenada Pescado, was $2.50ish and standard street taco size. The fish itself was nowhere to be found, heavily coated in batter. While the portion size of the Taco Coronado (Grilled Tilapia) was generous, it was costly at ~$6. The tilapia was also bland and fishy.My friend paid $19 for the Surf and Turf fries (Carne asada & Shrimp). $19 and the shrimp was burnt!There are SO many better, fresh, and CHEAPER fish taco spots in San Diego. I knew we should have gone to my favorite fish taco spot."

"Best seafood tacos I've ever had in my life! We found some Reddit thread that ranked the best fish tacos in SD and decided to try this place on our day trip down from LA. As a non-Spanish speaker, I was a bit worried about not being able to read the whole menu or ordering correctly, but the lady that took our order was soooo helpful and sweet! I love her energy!To order tacos:- pick your protein (I did fish, shrimp, octopus)- pick garlic or spicy- pick grilled or friedThey have other items on the menu, too! The tacos are amaaaaazing!! They were pretty pricey at around ~$40 for six tacos and a soda, but they were hefty and fresh... totally worth it in my opinion. Their sauce bar and condiments was poppin. Easy to find parking in the private lot they set up at. Hand washing station next to the truck made things clean. Loved loved loved this experience and can't wait to be back!"

New English Brewing

"We had a large party meet up on a Friday evening happy hour with our kids. There was about 30 of us in total. There is ample parking out front and more parking in the back. This place is in the middle of businesses so it does get busy with local patrons. We lucked out and came before it go too busy to secure a nice area in the patio lawn. There is both indoor and outdoor space and a nice grassy area for kids to run around. It's semi enclosed, but you do have to keep an eye on our kids since there are ways to run out to the parking lots with speeding cars. Lots of beer choices and there were also seltzers and sours available. You are able to taste them before committing to a glass. There are also different sizes as well. Friendly service and quick to serve and suggest. This is a great family friendly (and pet friendly) brewery. We enjoyed how chill it was esp on a warm evening out. Definitely recommend this place and will be back!"

The owner told me that they don't let their food sit around and cook everything to order. Which I appreciate. I usually don't like smashburgers but my burger was great. I ordered a double and it came out on a soft brioche bun. It was seasoned perfectly. Also ordered a side of fries, which where the potato wedge variety. They were fresh out the fryer and delicious. I'll be back to try some of the other menu items."

"In walking the South Park neighborhood for some lunch we stumbled upon this seafood food truck and wondered why we waited so long do so! They have since moved to a new location on B street next to the liquor store but I'll be following them there for all my fresh aguachile needs. We all had their fish tacos which are pretty hefty and filling, complete with their pico and sliced cabbage toppings. Make sure to add all their salsas and cremas because it takes it to another level. My favorite was the tropical aguachile which was so spicy in the best way. I wanted to keep eating so that heat grew until you couldn't handle it anymore. The marinade is juicy, tart, and sweet and sooo much shrimp was on that plate that I should have shared it really (but why would I do that!?). I also want to mention the service and people: so kind and they get those orders moving. When you walk up they give you some consommé to sip on and I feel so welcomed. I can't say enough about this food truck family!"

Lia’s Lumpia

★★★★☆ 4.3 (101) • $$

"Lumpia with a twist. There is some crazy creative things going on here at Lia's Lumpia. I talked with co-owner and chef, Spencer. He is part Filipino and Black. Spencer wanted Filipino food to be recognized for more than just pancit and lumpia. Taking a traditional Filipino staple he added different fillings other than the regular ground pork you'd find at every Filipino party. He and his mom have perfected the frying and wrapping of their lumpia wrappers so no matter what you get, it is crisp and not greasy. What gets stuffed into those wrappers borders on ingenious to WTH how did you come up with that? Take for instance his signature Mac N Cheese lumpia. Yeah I said "huh" also. He explained it was his marriage of Filipino and Soul Food. It must be good because it sells out and I was unfortunate not to try any on this visit. He has literally several dozen different takes that he rotates. I did get to try the following:-traditional-nice savory filling-pork belly- my favorite -SPAM musubi-the rice comes out a little crispy so it loses a bit of the sense of a musubi but the flavors are goodToo note, I had to take out which meant about 30 minutes to finally sit down to eat after pick up. The wrappers were still crisp which was pretty nice. This place is totally chill to hang out as well. It's got a sense of home with a lot of family pictures, comfy couches, a dining table, and even an arcade game. The music playing was old school like ZAPP which was my groove lol. I think the best way to enjoy Lia's Lumpia would be with family and friends who are looking for an easy night. Put in an order, I suggest not all at once because these things are hefty,along with some beers, chat the night away and order more as you go along. See if you can talk with Spencer and his mom as well! It will definitely make you feel like you're visiting family not just dining at a restaurant."

Los Sushi Lovers

★★★★★ 4.7 (29)

"Nice food truck and good sushi for the location. I wouldn't expect any authenticity in these rolls as they are a fusion of Mexican flavors but they execute it pretty well. I originally came for the tacos next door but my boyfriend wanted sushi so we got both! Majority of their rolls are salmon, shrimp, and krab but only 1-2 things with tuna. I do like salmon though and we got a Kimono Roll. If you're not feeling sushi they do cooked items like orange chicken, katsu, yakisoba, rice, and teriyaki. The roll was great! There were lots of jalapeños on the side and the presentation was neat. I did not like the wasabi at all as it tasted very strange. I will rate Los Sushi Lovers a 4 in the area as it is better than most sushi options in National City."

"Good cheap seafood.  I have only tried the different seafood tacos here.  Staff is very friendly.  Cash only as it is a food truck.  Located in the parking lot of Home Depot, it's hard to miss.  Marlin taco is good.  Not sure but everytime I have had it, it looks more like a paste then a solid piece of fish.Fish taco is very good.  Reminds me of the old school fish tacos before they got popular but better tasting.They offer a combo seafood taco which is basically a little of everything.  It taste very good.  I usually get a fork to pick at it before trying to eat it as it is very packed.A great place to get some fish tacos.  They have a tent, 2 tables, and some chairs to at.  The owners keep everything clean."
