Somehow food trucks have gotten trendy and now most of them seem to charge more than restaurants. It drives me crazy. But this is a «real» truck with good, cheap food. The menu is Spanish only, but if you ask you’ll get a nice English explanation of anything you don’t recognize. I hate places that don’t list prices, so here’s what I know: there are a couple of taco varieties that are $ 1.25 on Tuesdays, and fish tacos are always that price. The others seem to run under $ 2. You can have a good meal for under $ 5. Those fish tacos are basic but lovely, and the salsa bar is great. If the limes aren’t out, just ask.

The owners of this truck are some of the nicest people I’ve meet. They truly care about their customers. Food is extremely affordable and tasty. Gave out free soup today to whoever they saw on the side walk and the soup was outstanding. I know other trucks give out free soup as we’ll but theirs was a different story. Highly recommend this truck on the corner of 35th and El Cajon blvd.

can’t go wrong with grilled whole carne asada then hand chopped for tj style street tacos. even with the carbon the carne was just okay but their pollo asada was better. their al pastor was also good which I didn’t see the vertical spit but was super flavorful on its own. if you can’t make it to tacos el gordo, tacos tumbras is a good alternative with certain tacos.

$.99 tacos still do exist! This place was pretty legit. TJ style tacos. Super cool dudes who run the truck. Great food for the price.

I been looking all over San Diego for TJ street tacos, and yes, I know, everyone has their own favorite little spot, but this taco truck is Legit with a capital«L». They got everything you would ever want, lengua, pastor, asada, pollo, tripas, cabeza, chorizo, carnitas… just too many to list… It’s not your fancy shmancy typical North Park joint. This is for gente that want real food with real flavor without paying an eye for a taco… they got a Monday special. 15 tacos for 16.99, and of course, as any self respecting taco joint would have, they got taco Tuesdays. 99cent tacos all day. Go check ‘em out. They park right next to a liquor store so you can pick up a few brews to wash down the tacos.

Seriously good tacos and mini tortas. I went here quite a few times and then they left? Where’d they go? Street king tacos took their place and they are good too but somehow missing the magic of Tacos Tumbras.

Just had some great tacos here — carnitas and carne asada(were grilling outside fresh) were both great. We also had a mulita which was quite tasty. Free coup of pinto bean soup with the order which also turned out to be quite nice. I’ll be back.
