Alebrijes grill taco truck

Be ready to wait on some amazing food! Don't give a bad review over how long you have to wait, when the food is this delicious, your going to have to wait...!! 💁🏼‍♀ OMG.. literally the best tacos you can find in all of California! I wish I had one of these trucks at my house. So amazing I can't even eloquently express the amazingness that are these tacos! 🤯So, we are back again because it was so amazing we had to get back here to have more. Wild fires or not... Give me these tacos now!! Literally think of them all of the time and so thankful to be having more!!!

Great taste at the right price. No real vegan or other diet-specific options. The prices aren’t written down, but it was inexpensive. The flavors were great.

This is probably the best authentic food truck tacos I've had in CA. Some of the best tacos in OC, for sure. The cesina (thin carne asada) is one of my favorites. The tripa well done is great. A word of caution though, the green salsa here is really hot even for me. Just take too much at once or it'll burn your mouth. A little splash per taco. Also their quesadillas are eye catchy cause there so big. The staff is so cool. Santa Ana has the best Mexican food and this place is no exception.

Found this place thanks to Google maps and the reviews and I'm pleased that I did. The tacos are amazing. It can get busy and there might be a wait for your food, but it is completely worth it.

Let's face it, it seems everyone and their hermano has a taco truck serving a great "Taco Al Pastor" these days. So when Albert Hernández decided to start his taco truck in Santa Ana, he deliberately chose to paint the truck "Cadillac pink" so that "Alebrije's Grill" would stand out from all of the other taco trucks. To further differentiate Alebrije's Grill, Hernández served something that no other truck was serving at the time: Cuernavaca's legendary "Taco Acorazado."

Taco Acorazado translates to "Battleship Taco" and is named such because so much food is stacked into the taco that the whole thing visually resembles a battleship. The thick corn tortilla has more of the appearance of a flatbread than what you would traditionally expect a corn tortilla to look like. Directly on top of it sits a mound of fluffy short-grain rice simmered in caldo de tomate and spiked with corn kernels, chopped carrots, and peas scattered throughout. Accompanying the rice are sautéed onions and nopales (chopped cactus pads), sliced tomatoes, avocado chunks, cotija cheese, and a grilled jalapeño. And then there's a full meal's worth of "milanesa de res," a kind of Mexican "chicken fried steak" where a cut of beef is pounded until it is flat and thin, then dunked in egg batter, rolled in breadcrumbs, and fried. The result is tender, yet crispy; beefy, yet bread-y; salty yet subtle.

As one may guess from its name, milanesa is not indigenous in Mexico, but rather has come up through Central America after being brought to Argentina and Uruguay by Italian immigrants. The Italians invented it as "cotoletta alla milanese" in the 12th century, though the Austrians were the first to popularize this style of food using a boneless cut of meat, which we all know today as "schnitzel," and is closest in spirit to the buttery, boneless milanesa that has become part of Mexican cuisine. When it is done right, I can't think of much else I would rather eat. Here, the individual pieces are very thin and lean, but still packed with beef flavor.

A squeeze of lime and liberal use of the smoldering, smoky salsa roja are the right condiments for this. You must use a fork to eat away about 80% of the mountain of food in this taco before you can pick up the real buried treasure underneath: the aforementioned beautiful tortilla, sweet and chewy, drenched in grease and sauce and charred bits of meat and vegetables. It's something that will ruin all other tortillas for you for a while.

And, yes, I also had Alebrije's Grill's "Al Pastor Taco," a fine rendition of al pastor pork: sweet, saucy, pleasantly fatty, and mixed with a few pineapple chunks. It also benefits greatly from a squirt or two of the salsa roja. Alebrije's Grill's Al Pastor taco is good enough to probably have made this truck successful all by itself, but it is made unnecessary by the Taco Acorazado being more than enough for a meal.

This place is really good. Be it I've only tried their mushroom tacos but my kids said the carne asada tacos were super good. I love that they give you some catus too. The green salsa is really hot and I love it so much. The prices are not out of control and the people are pretty friendly. I've already went been back 3 times!!

Great taco truck. Cash only. Lots of meat, the tortillas had a nice texture (not soft and mushy).

Very affordable, 6 massive tacos for $13.

This place is amazing. We found it driving through and let me tell you the tacos are bomb! The only down part is they do not accept any credit/debit card payments. Only cash, so make sure you bring them dolla dolla bills! They are right next to Northgate so parking can suck, but I would go back again! Prices are also great! 8 tacos for around 15$

My favorite taco truck in OC and maybe SocCal. Absolutely delicious and worth driving for.

Best tacos in Santa Ana, their salsa is so good. All tacos come with nopales and onions which is the cherry on top. Tortas, tacos, tostadas, quesadillas and their meat choice is Amazing. You can’t go wrong with Alebrijes.

It was delicious. My husband got a torta de asada and I had a gordita. We also had tacos. Everything was delicious. The meat is tender and flavorful

The food was excellent!! The experience completely worth the drive!! Loved it!!!

The food is great and for a great price quik service too.

The BEST Al Pastor in OC.

We were told about this by someone who should know. The butcher at the Electric City Butcher. The tacos were outstanding with great flavours at ridiculous cheap prices.

I was skeptical about this place when a friend from work recommended it to me. However, I decided to try it without having any expectations. Well, I have to admit the food they sell is very very good. I got 4 different types of tacos and enjoyed every bite of them. They say it’s Mexico City style of tacos, I haven’t been to Mexico City and can’t compare, but these ones in Santa Ana are very good.

These are the best tacos I have ever had. Period.

This spot is legit. I've been here multiple times for lunch. So far I've tried their tripas, lengua, cabezea, pollo, asada, and their "iron clad" taco. All amazing. They have good salsa and they serve your tacos with grilled onions and nopales. I work about 15 minutes away in Irvine so it takes about 30 min to drive there and back and takes about 15 minutes for your tacos. Even though I'd be late coming back from lunch I kept coming back because the food is so good. Today I figured out the hack. You can place an order over the phone so it's ready when you arrive. My favorite taco spot in OC hands down. Not a single complaint.

Delicious! Went for lunch with the family and we had tacos, a beso de monja, and a gordita and all were delicious! Both salsas were pretty full of flavor not like other places that seem watered down.

B-o-m-b Dot com!!!!!!

I ordered the street tacos they were 🔥🔥the pastor was on point! Salsa bar was pretty cool they had maybe 3 or 4 choices plus all the cilantro jalapenos limes man they had it all at this place I'll definitely be stopping by next time I'm in the area.
