Cash only (accepts Venmo/Zelle) food truck on Illinois Street is a no-brainer! Got the super burrito with carnitas and a coke - the perfect grab and go lunch on a hot day. Service was excellent and food came out at lightning speed. First bite was juicy and made even more juicy with the free pico de gallo and salsa verde + free chips. They even have a little shaded seating area under a canopy if you can't wait to eat.

The outside looks sketch, but the food is good! Killer al pastor tacos. They are $4 each and huge. Liked them more than the carnitas ones. Small bag of chips and lovely salsa comes with each order.

About a 10 minute walk from the 22nd st cal train stop in a very industrial, unassuming neighborhood. Ordered the al pastor and pollo (pork and chicken) tacos which was delicious and very flavorful. We should have gotten more! Each order comes with a side of chips and salsa which was a great touch.

Fast and efficient. Loved the taste of the tacos and was quick and fast. Best bang for your buck. Loved the extra chips and salsa on the side too.

Caution: This place will ruin Mexican restaurants for you! They have the best everything here! The tortes are the best anywhere in San Francisco and beyond! Same with the burritos! The sauces are excellent! Worth crossing the City for! He'll, it's worth coming from the East Bay for this good! Yum!

This is the best taco truck on the east edge of SF. 100 health score is quite impressive for any food truck! The tacos and the super tacos are delicious and affordable. I usually order carnitas, but there are several other meat options that are also popular! The tacos are served with a little bag of chips, and the salsa verde is sensational. I like to grab an order to-go to take down the street to Speakeasy Ales & Lagers. Tacos + beer is perfection.

Tacos El Flaco, this place is awesome and one of the many hidden gems of food trucks in San Francisco. The meat is tender and juicy, in portion control a spot on! It looks like they got at 100% Health score but in 2016, also I wish they regularly carried chips, they do have Doritos and lays but that doesn't count. Also they are cash only! But somehow they get a 4 stars from me due to the amazing flavor of their burritos!
