El Matador Mobile Mex

Had the carne asada tacos last night with rice & beans. All would have been fine if not for the mysterious green sauce on top. It was BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF HOT. This ruined my whole meal and evening at brewpub trying to cool my mouth, throat off with water, beer to no avail. Not to mention I could no longer actually taste my food. Tried talking to guy in food truck about it afterwards. He kept saying the avocado sauce? Are you kidding me? Only if you put 50 jalapeños and 1 avocado in a food processor, maybe. What a waste. Guys taste your own food, sauce occasionally.

Food was OK but price was great. I like the cabbage and spice level of the carnitas burrito. It was a decent size for $ 8 and bottled water and soda for $ 1 isn’t bad. The kitchen looked clean and I appreciate they give napkins without asking like some other taco truck I have eaten at. I would have liked there to be some more flavor and less fat in the carnitas then they would have received a 4 star.

2 stars because it wasn’t bad enough to throw away. I feel ripped of spending $ 10 for this burrito & 12oz coke. A taco bell burrito supreme is probably better.
Mexican rice was mush (no exaggeration, could have been flour and water), steak had the consistency of dog food, and generally no flavor.

We have a winner for Sacramento’s saddest burrito. Ordered a carnitas burrito and got a pricey burrito with chunks of dry boiled tasting carnitas with mushy bland rice and garnished with cilantro and onion. It was not good and I won’t be going back.

Stopped by here on my lunch break to try out their taco’s and they were good (not amazing). It was around lunch hour when they were parked near where I work and there wasn’t anyone in line. I stepped up to the unfriendly gentlemen who rang up my order of two chicken tacos. I could have eaten another taco to fill me up considering they are not too generous with the meat. It was topped with some onions & cilantro along with their special sauce. Nothing too spectacular about this food truck, but I probably would come back if I’m craving for tacos!

It was bad the first time I tried this place so decided to give them another shot to redeem themselves. I had their ninja tacos the first time and got ripped off with their meat portion. This time, I changed it up and ordered a ninja burrito instead. My thought process… «It’s pretty hard to jack up a burrito». My goodness, I was wrong by a mile! The moment I received my order, the burrito felt good because it was heavy. Hell yes… I’m about to enjoy this bulgogi burrito! Took my first bite, not much meat there… No worries, it’s only the first bite. A few more bites in and I’m in the middle of it. Damn! I was disappointed to see that I bought a burrito for over $ 8 and got cabbage, rice, sauce, and a few pieces of meat… I showed my co-​worker and his response was, «They must not like you because my tacos had more meat than your burrito!» Now, I really think this place is all about making the most profit they can. Since the food truck hype is so big now, they think can over charge and under portion their food. Such a pity that this food truck is ruining the reputation of other great food trucks. The owner of this place should really look at how to serve a product that will have his consumer rave about how great their food is rather than how we’re getting ripped off!!!

Amazing food and I got a free carne asada taco! Good food truck experience. Your dollar goes far here!

Due to a cast on my foot, I had a friend pick me up some Carnita nachos. Upon receiving my order I was very disappointed to find that they had given me Carna Asada rather than carnitas. The meat was cold and tough.
Very little beans or any other condiment.
Extremely disappointed after reading so many awesome reviews.

Good thing these foodtrucks started appearing in Rancho Cordova every Friday, there’s some seriously boring restaurants out here. El Matador serves up some tasty tacos this side of Mexico. For $ 7.50 you get 4 foodie quality tacos — Carnitas, Pollo, or Carne Asada… mix n’ match if you wanted to.
With cheap but high quality tasting tacos like this the hungry Matador in you should be more than satisfied… Toro! Toro!

Ninja Tacos with chicken are quite possibly the best thing to ever come off of a moving vehicle. The truck is clean and the employees are extremely nice and helpful.

Since I cannot check in for El Matador when they’re here at CalPERS for breakfast or lunch because their «address» is in Roseville and I get the dreaded «Sorry, you are too far away to check in» message block, I thought I would do everyone a favor set up their business here. You’re welcome :)
Beyond that, let’s get to the nitty-gritty…I have yet to experience their breakfast offerings, but I had their Ninja Bowl ($ 8) the other day and it was super! Rice under a lovely asian slaw with seasoned steak and siracha… the combo was delicious and the portion was huge! I cannot wait to go back and try some of their other yummy offerings.
Oh, and they take credit cards, which is awesome :)
Oh, and since it was OBVIOUS to the crew that I was a rookie, he’s the one who suggested the Ninja bowl, so mega-​kudos to him. Love great customer service :)
Oh, and Unilocal should develop some algorithm or something so that you can check into any food truck, no matter where they are. Given their business is mobile, doesn’t that make sense?! Just sayin’…
