A map of Taco Trucks throughout the United States, created for Yumtacos.com.

depending on day & time, there are often between 3 and 4 trucks along Road 26 between Avenue 17 and Cleveland Avenue. One of them, "Tacos Amigos," has recently begun to build a restaurant as well.

Thanks to Lisa for this!

"4350 Von Karman, Newport Beach. In the right side parking lot just off of the parking booth. 8:30am sharp every morning. Park in the main parking because the small one is full by 7:30."

"Got a decent pastor taco here, with a nice charcoal-smoke flavor. Offers the option of sour creama and cheese on your taco (50 cents extra), again, I think, to appeal to the African-Americans in the neighborhood, as that menu item was in English only (and I don't think I saw another Caucasian the entire time I was in that area)."

home base of the Casa Maria taco trucks. Sign says "Barbacoa dehorno estilo Hildalo, Texcoco, Toluca, D.F.Y Anexas." They have three trucks that go to various spots in Oakland, and one is usually in front, or else the restaurant itself is open. They also serve huitlicoche!

"There is a really really goot truck on the corner of 14th and D in Downtown Modesto called Vallarta, they have great burritos and $1.00 Tacos no carnitas but the grilled chicken and carne asada and pastor are all yumm. Also if they are too crowded there is the Taco Truck Row on 8th Street between H & I, I highly recommend one of the two Jessica trucks especially Jessica #4, they have great ceviche and carnitas. OR if you are in Turlock the El Rancherita Carneceria y Mercado on West Main has BOMB Burritos for under 5 bucks and thats for the Champion which is like TWO regular burritos, or you can go to the restraunt on the other side of the store which is also called El Rancherita, they have a CHEAP buffet with really really good food and its only like 7 or 8 bucks and they have great Dollar Margaritas all week long. (!Yo soy un entusiasta mexicano de alimento!)" - thanks to Megan!

great seafood & fish tacos. run by the folks who own the statuary shop whose parking lot it usually resides in.

San Jose's most consistently high-rated truck.

Roach coaches? No way! Taco trucks are a staple in Chico, and there are plenty to choose from. Where else can you get authentic, fresh-made Mexican eats, a whole belly's worth, for about three bucks? While serious debate has raged over which taco truck reigns supreme, El Paisa continues to get big props, winning this category two years running.

"El Paladar on the corner of Barry and Idaho, in West LA (1 block S of Santa Monica, 1 block E of Barrington). Amazing Al Pastor, and they make clayudas. Mexican coke available, too.

There's a decent taco truck here, across from Best Buy. Thanks again to Kathryn Hill and Kenneth Berger for this one.

This is the third (of three) locations for the incomparable El Tonayense trucks. Thanks to Kathryn Hill for the three locations.

another one of these GREAT trucks is usually here

"There's a taco truck that's parked regularly in the gas station at the corner of San Pablo, Market and 30th (on the west side of San Pablo) in Oakland. I think it's called El Toreros. I see it there often, although I've never stopped to check it out." - many thanks to Ruth Lafler

"Menu reads more like a sit-down place than a truck, with enchiladas and other "plates." Seemed to be catering more to the African-American segment of the neighborhood. I was intrigued by the idea of carne asada fries, but in the end didn't order anything here."

'Also there's one (or at least, there used to be) parked just outside the parking lot of the main Oakland DMV -- here's my report from several years ago: "Finally, I headed off for two and a half hours of purgatory in the DMV (Coliseum office); I celebrated my re-emergence into the land of the living with a couple of tacos from the La Ultima Cena truck parked just outside the DMV parking lot. While neither was a standout, both the carne asada and al pastor tacos were tasty, with generous amounts of meat and a choice of mild or hot salsa. A bonus was the delicous pickled carrots that came with it, which were thick cut and appeared to be home-made rather than canned." The address for that DMV office is: 303 Hegenberger Rd
Oakland, CA 94621' - thanks to Ruth Lafler

on the east side of Petco Park, between 10th and 14th, there are several semi-anonymous trucks serving both game crowds and, more often on weekdays, construction workers at the myriad condo projects in this area.

W Nees Ave & N Russell Ave
Firebaugh, CA

"On the way home from SF via Firebaugh I stopped at the Rosita #1 taco truck, @ 4-5 miles east of I-5 at the NW corner of Nees and Russell. Tacos are $1 ea, had a cabeza, a lengua, and an al pastor, all pretty decent and loaded with meat. Talking with a couple of the field workers standing there in the 100 degree heat, trying to decide if I wanted medium or hot, one indicated that the hot brings tears to his eyes so I opted for medium which didn't have that much heat, next time will go for the high octane.

Heading south on I-5, take the Firebaugh exit east to the stop sign at Russell, the only other thing there besides Rosita #1 is a large produce facility on the SE corner. I-5 is clearly visible, but if you wish to avoid back tracking head south on Russell where it joins the freeway again in @ 9-10 miles (Shields Ave west is another option to get back on, 5 miles south of Nees), heading north just reverse the order." - thanks to Polar Bear
