    If you are vegetarian, this is the place to try the veggie quesadilla. I am a truck driver and have tried multiple food trucks, but this is the best one.

    First off, I'm no southern California taco/burrito expert or anything, so take this review for what you will. I'm from Boston. I do love tacos and burritos though. I enjoyed my food. I got a beef burrito and a carnitas taco. Both were good, but the carnitas was better (as many reviews have mentioned). The burrito was tasty throughout and the onions made it, but there was some gristle in the meat. The tortilla was just okay, not as authentically flavored as others I've had in this area. If I was in the area again, I'd likely try one of the other trucks just to compare.

    The location isn't ideal (personally), if it rains the sidewalk area is dirt so its muddy. However, its the best food truck in the area for items with Asada meat. They have snacks on the side you can purchase as well (chips, aguas Fresca in a bottle, soda, Mexican candy, nuts, etc). The menu has everything from sopes, tortas, burritos, tacos, tostadas, etc. Service is fairly quick and fairly priced. They do accept credit/debit cards, as well as cash. Packaging is neat as well. Paper plate covered with foil very nearly done and bagged in a plastic back for take out. Must stop every time we are heading back home. Parking isn't ideal either, basically you park where ever you see parking on the side of the road. However because their service is quick, you can usually find parking behind/infront of the food truck next to the parking. Also, the salsa is a tad but spicy. . .good but you'll definitely taste it. So if you ask "con todo" make sure you're okay with the spice.

    Tacos Jimenez serves some of the best tacos in SoCal—flavorful, fresh, and reasonably priced. A must-try!

    FANTASTIC MEAL! I had the quesadilla with marinated pork and a side of rice and beans. The refried beans were the best this gringo has EVER had! Clearly home made. The quesadilla was HUGE, filled with a very generous portion of meat, plenty of cheese and lightly grilled diced onions, grilled to perfection! When I say the guacamole is fresh, I mean I watched him cut and spoon out the avocado and mix it up right then and there! This place deserves better than 5 stars! A must stop for anyone in the area
