The pupusas are to die for. The platanos are incredible. The service is remarkable—basically one person running the whole show. It’s like eating in your mom’s kitchen! Can’t wait to come back!

I've been coming here for my popusa fix for about 20 yrs! I've always loved it! They're always so delicious & very affordable! I don't come too often but when I do I only have popusas. I've never had anything else on their menu but I don't doubt it's good. When I'd go visit a friend in Concord, I'd pick some up for us for lunch. She likes them better than from the restaurants in her area.

I have been eating here for the past 8 years and hands down is the best Salvadoran food I’ve ever had besides my mom’s home cooking. If you have never had this food before and are foreign to Central American cuisine then you may not understand what you’re eating or what authenticity of this food should be. Despite what other reviews have said about it being too greasy, news flash they’re supposed to be greasy. If they say it was terrible service because it took a long time, they’re hand making your order right after you place your order, what do you expect. I would totally ignore the bad reviews and give this place a try it is absolutely one of the most amazing g gems in Oakland!

I got a carne asada super burrito that I shared with my son had very good seasoning in the meat. I appreciate that they were still openam I pretty fast service I just feel that maybe the customer service can be a bit better other than that everything was great

One of the wife's co-workers, when she heard we were going to be in Northern California, positively insisted that we eat here and get an al pastor taco. I did. The first one was heavenly, and the second, with lime squeezed on it? Even better.

Saw a review by D S complaining about prices being raised a few times over 6 years. They wouldn't be in business if they were selling tacos for 1 or 2$. Inflation is real no price will stay the same.

I used to work as a janitor in the building next door and went to Mi Grullense Taco Truck regularly for years. They have the best tacos in the area! The flavors are amazing, and the service is always friendly. Highly recommend for delicious, authentic tacos!

Best tacos I've ever had in the bay area! I don't even live nearby but I would drive out for them😋 they're known for their al pastor tacos but the lengua one is sooo good as well😊

The absolute bomb.com. I've eaten a lot of tacos. But theres something magical about tacos that are this good. They transport you, not just to Mexico, but to a version of Mexico that exists in another dimension where Tacos are the only thing that matter in the universe. Delicious flavors, cheap prices, and THE BEST red salsa i've had in my life. Can I give this 6 stars? Just go.

This place was delicious. They seem to be popular and I know why.

The best taco food truck in all of the US. Been going here for over 25 years same location (corner of 30th Ave. and E. 14th in Oakland, CA) same parking spot everday NON-STOP.

There are two taco trucks, #1 and #2, both situated in Goodwill's parking lot. According to their signs, there is a #3 somewhere (dunno where). #1 takes their time and slowly cooks their meats after you order - up to 10 minutes if there's a line - I tried asada, chorizo, and carnitas tacos. All were excellent, especially the crispy carnitas. Asada was minced. #2 has fish and shrimp tacos. I tried their fish tacos which were surprisingly meh, too much batter and not very fresh tasting. As a point of reference, the chain Rubio's, are much better than these (especially if you do Rubio's Taco Tuesdays and get their especial). In terms of Oakland taco trucks ranking, this one is slightly behind Tacos El Gordo, but if you want to eat before 5PM, #1 is a good choice. Not surprisingly, #1 had longer lines than #2. Remember to ask for jalapeños...

Located conveniently right next to the Goodwill off of International Blvd in the Fruitvale neighborhood in Oakland, this is a taco truck that you do not want to miss at all costs! This is a local business that I stumbled upon one night when I was highly craving tacos. I love how they still have seating despite the weather, rain or shine. If you’re pulling up to this place, you’re in luck — because they have Their taco meat—whether you go for al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, or lengua—is generously seasoned and rich, with that juicy, well-browned texture that makes each bite memorable. From what I’ve heard, Oakland locals often praise the quality and depth of the meats, and you can tell they’re working with ingredients that stand up to the hype. The corn tortillas hold up beautifully too: warm, slightly charred at the edges, and the perfect vehicle for every squeeze of lime and sprig of cilantro. It’s laid-back street food at its best—tacos that hit hard on flavor and make you want to come back for another round. Honestly, I would be coming here to enjoy with minimal fuss, cash in hand, and a big appetite.

I think these folks operate two trucks in at same parking lot. Customers were always pulling in for some late nite bites on International Ave. You can eat in your car after pickup. Tacos were as expected.

The food is good, but the service is not so great, the owner is kind of stingy when it comes down to even give you an extra napkin, anything extra that you require has a charge, even salsa. On my last visit there, l was unable to finish my pupusas and requested a to go box, instead l got a very small piece of tiny aluminum foil and was told by the owner that they do not provide boxes to go for pupusas, so l wondered how was l suppose to grap up the salad and salsa for the pupusas, with the very tiny and small piece of aluminum foil she gave me?🤔 I ended up having to put those in a plastic bag. This is an stablished small restaurant, l have never had that kind of treatment even at a taco truck, what is wrong with this lady?🙄 So if you do go there to eat, l strongly recommend you to be prepared and bring your own Ziploc bags or containers and your own extra napkins!!!😐

The Al Pastor tacos were decent. Each taco had a generous portion of meat, but they were also extremely greasy. The tortillas were nice and tasty until they got soggy from all the grease. Service was friendly and fast. I'm glad they were quick because the area is a bit dodgy. I'm glad I gave it a try, but I don't think I'll be back due to the location.

It's good ,.over the year But lately, the tacos are shrimked a little be , it's not more soft , Little by little they are loosing the taste

Good food but the lady brat took our order was super weird. She only addressed my husband even though I asked for stuff. Super weird. Also they didn’t know I understand Spanish and they stood at the counter and started whispering stuff to each other and kept looking at me and my baby. If you order do it to go.

We ordered chicken soup and tortillas, it took a while to get our food and when it finally came out it tasted like they just threw it together last minute and cooked it in the instant pot really fast. The vegetables were still slightly hard the chicken thigh and drumstick seem like they just cooked it , still tough, and tasted like It was from the food bank, they threw Twigs of cilantro in there and didnt take the leaves off, I ended up taking all those out and putting them on the side. It seemed like a very rushed job. We are so disappointed and a waste of money total bill was $36.82. The tortillas We're homemade but had a weird taste aftertaste.

I went here with my family we had barely got our food and we seen a rat running under the tables and went into the couches near the door not to mention they took forever to bring the food and the pupusas cheese tasted like it was expired this place should be shut down it’s unsanitary

I’m suprised this place is still in business. Super bad service. The lady who works there is always in a bad mood. Plus the food is alright, but I’d rather go somewhere else.

I sometimes take my wife and my two daughters here to have pupusas, but today is our last time we go here. I wasn't quite hungry today but the rest of my family was, so I ordered one pupusa each for my kids and two for my wife and one for me. The one for me was the problem, apparently adults have to order a minimum of two, which isn't stated in the menu very clearly. What is stated is that there is a minimum order of two pupusas, and since we ordered a total of five I thought we were in the good; I was wrong! Instead I had my wife order 3 pupusas, one that I will eat. The waitress brought out 3 sets of utensils and 3 plates, and refused service to me. This is just bad business and I wished this was the only thing that went wrong but it wasn't. To add to the bad service, my wife ordered a can of coconut water and it came to her filthy. She couldn't even get it totally cleaned with the napkin she received, so she returned it for a different bottled drink which was much easier too clean. And to nail the coffin shut, one of the male employee's came from the rear of the restaurant, which is where the restroom is located, he was adjusting his parts. Granted that he was doing this above his pants but still, that isn't ok, I don't care who you are.

This restaurant is the worse Salvadorian place that I've been. The pupusa is terrible and grease. They do not accept credit card and very poor hygiene. One lady grab the money and make pupusas without wash her hand... and above all was very rude.I will not go back to this place again.

Park at your risk. They’ve taken over the former Goodwill parking lot. They made the parking lot for the taco truck customers only, which is not bad necessarily but rather inconvenient to the rest of the neighborhood. They tow now 24/7 and sometimes without notice per their signs. They’ve made it with only 2 entrances in or out, which is very dangerous for the area. They’ve completely changed the whole neighborhood and ruined the atmosphere of the area. The parking lot was the appeal, not the taco truck unfortunately. Many people used to frequent this taco truck while visiting OTHER businesses in the area. If I have to park around the corner to go to the clinic I’m not going to bother going to the taco truck. From what I’ve seen they’re the ONLY taco truck in Oakland that did this. Food is hit or miss, I’ve gotten ice cold burritos before and soggy quesadillas from the too wet salsa and wilted lettuce they put with it.
