  Not impressed by this food truck based on the 4.6 rating which led me here, I was raised by an excellent Mexican cook and this was not it, the Birria burrito was about 60/70% rice, I literally forked it out and noticed the skimpy meat portions, birria was not sauced up, on the dry side, green avocado salsa was salty, I also ordered the rolled tacos (flautas) and thought it was probably one of the crispiest but also very bland paired with the salty green sauce, next time I'll grab some tacos if there is a next time. If you do happen to order a burrito ask them for light rice, and extra meat, I paid close to $40, kind of upsets me when I think about it, do better please.

  The Real Taco is Santa Cruz’s best kept secret. In a crowed arena of great authentic Mexican cuisine, I repeatedly come back to the food truck on Mission and Laurel for the best Quesabirrias and fish tacos I’ve ever had. The customer service is great, food is consistently great and there’s nothing bad to say about this humble food truck.

  Great burrito, definitely would go there again. We are from out of town, took a chance. This was definitely a thumbs up pick

  Amazing tacos on fresh made tortillas, prices a little high but worth it. Must try the Anaheim pepper tacos, their California burrito with carne asada is also amazing. You can taste the quality of their meats, top notch Mexican food truck with food better than most Mexican restaurants. California burrito is amazing
