Tacos El Autlense

Review update- I’ve been here a few times now and there is an issue with consistency. They’ve also messed the order up twice (out of like 5 times) with that said it is still a top 5 taco truck in the East Bay. Excellent Carnitas Tacos and the Asada Burrito is rich and flavorful.

I ordered three tacos. The Birria was very tender and juicy, the Aastor was good, and the Lengua was my favorite because of the sweetness of the meat combined with the sourness of the sauce. The ceviche is great on tortilla chips.

Best taco truck hands down! Ordered tripe, cow tongue, and beef tacos! Amazing flavor! The atmosphere is not so great as the truck is next to a dive bar. I get it, people get drunk and the food craving kicks in. Will be eating here indefinitely unless food quality changes. Highly recommended this taco truck! Street parking!

First time here. Ordered 1 taco of Pastor, Cabeza, Carnitas, & Birria.

The meat was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. Had green salsa, which had a great flavor and wasn't too spicy. Lots of veggies available as well.
Service was quick and polite.

There isn't any seating area to eat there. Also parking is very scarce.

Oh, let me tell you about a little slice of heaven tucked away in the heart of Albany, California – Tacos El Autlense! Now, I'm no stranger to culinary escapades, but the Lengua Burrito here is like a love letter to your taste buds.

And don't even get me started on the salsa bar – it's a veritable playground of spice and zest, a treasure trove of condiments that can elevate your burrito experience to heights previously thought impossible.

It's like a salsa rainbow, and each jar is a pot of gold waiting to be drizzled over your masterpiece.

Best tacos in the neighborhood. Great service and you can’t beat the price.

Wow! This place is phenomenal!

We just moved to this area and we were sad to leave our favorite food truck and taco spots but this place has lifted our spirits. When I say this place is great I mean it! Whatever they’re doing, they’re doing it right! We tried the torta de asada (highly recommend), asada tacos, and tripa tacos. Everything is was so flavorful. We also had their horchata which was delicious by the way. This is the kind of taco truck you just have to keep coming back to. Here’s a quote from my husband about the torta, “I was so hungry and eating the torta made me hungrier because of how good it tasted. Wow!” The ladies that work the taco truck were kind and you can tell that they care about the quality of their food. If you’re ever near this place I highly suggest you stop by and try their food. You won’t regret it.

Their tacos are just amazing. You either need to get them to go or eat at the bar next door.

delicious cheap tacos! they give you tasty pickled peppers and salsa with your order if you ask. this truck's tacos are far better than any sit-down restaurant tacos I've had, and the workers in the truck are nice people. if you're in the area you should get these tacos, you won't regret it!

the food is carry-out only though the bar next door lets you eat the tacos in there I believe.

Fantastic tacos, convenient location in San Pablo Ave. and friendly service. I ate here frequently while staying nearby:

This is a to go place. I loved the birrias burrito until I got a glob of fat. Despite this, great taste.

I have been to this taco truck next to the bar many times. There are certainly some busy times, but it is always worth the wait. My go-to is the Carnitas burrito, because this is one of the only mexican eateries (I’ve found) which has CRUNCHY carnitas. Their cabeza burrito is also very tasty. Be sure to stop by Tacos El Autlense.

Perfect tacos! Try the Cabeza and Tripas next time. Also the consume. Takes a while to get your food and last time I checked they only take cash.

Carnitas is great, al pastor solid. Favorite part is when they warm the tortillas until a little crisp is formed. That can be hit or miss.
Grab a cheap pint at Hotsy Totsy & enjoy.

Got two tacos ($2.5 each) and a burrito ($10). Good overall and decent price

The best burrito on earth. I used to come here all the time while I was in high school. The lady’s are always super nice and have a big smile on their face! I’m glad you guys are ok!

Still my go to taco truck spot in the last 10 years. They have show consistency in flavor and quality throughout the years.

Great Burritos and tacos!

This truck's lengua burritos are tasty. Their burritos are moist and well seasoned. This truck is worth a visit.

My partner even said, "finally, a good Mexican place near us!" This Mexican establishment delivers on everything from taste and quality to speed to cost.
