Tabe BBQ Fusion Truck

Awesome food. Get the OMG burrito. Soooo good! Huge burrito too. I usually make it two meals.
Haven’t tried anything else yet. I’ll go back next week.

Yum! San Diego needs more K-​BBQ trucks. This is a very good one. Fresh, fast, flavorful, good value.

Had a large group of disappointed people last night at Trisler’s wine bar. I had organized a large group to come to the wine bar where Tabe was supposed to be and they never showed. The bartender at Trisler’s called the truck several times (who had been on the schedule for quite some time) and it went straight to voicemail. Not only was our group hungry and irritable but so was the rest of the folks in the wine bar that had driven far for a nice time. We ended up getting pizza around 7pm. The worst part is that Trisler’s kitchen was closed due to the food truck so the poor bartender was scrambling to find crackers for everyone. Was really looking forward to trying this truck.

This is my first time eating here and what can I say??? My Cali burrito with beef was amazing, the tenderness and sweet flavor elevated the entire burrito and the freshness from the lettuce added another level. The fries are golden and yummy, and skip the ketchup and get the aoli. I have a new favorite food truck. Best regards from 92 111

We’ve been going to Tabe every Wednesday for 4 or 5 years. That is a lot of OMG burritos! There is nothing like a spicy chicken OMG in the world. Spectacular! Life Changing! Tabe Adada Fries are good too.

This place is a solid «middle of the road» rating. It is not bad, but not great. It isn’t cheap, but it isn’t expensive. It isn’t fast, but it isn’t slow. They were super conveniently parked at the Naval Hospital so I decided to give them a try. I had the teriyaki fish burrito which was rice, fish, teriyaki sauce, sour cream and lettuce. It had plenty of fish which was good, the sauce was good but overall, I had trouble getting super excited over a pretty common burrito. I might visit this truck again if I happen to be at the hospital again and if the other roach coach sucks, but I won’t go out of my way.

After months of following them on Twitter waiting for a convenient time and location, finally caught up with the Tabe Truck outside Flicks gay bar on University. My girlfriend and I were heading to OB at the time, but as soon as I saw the tweet, we knew we had to stop here. It was like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I ordered the Tabe Asada Fries with the pork and my girlfriend got the OMG burrito with the BBQ beef. Didn’t catch the guy’s name who was working the register but he was very nice, cool guy. We watched the Women’s World Cup Final Round as we waited for our food. Wasn’t a very long wait though, I will say. Our food came out and we walked back to my truck to eat on the tailgate. Typically, I’m rather unimpressed with food truck food, especially because of the prices, but let me tell you. These fries were delicious. Absolutely fantastic, and with a little added hot sauce, perfection. The flavors of everything mixed together was just such a rich taste. Sure, I could have gone to a taco shop and ordered a whole thing of regular carne asada fries for less than what I paid. But the satisfaction would pale in comparison. I barely finished the fries, and my girlfriend couldn’t even finish her burrito, which she said was also quite delectable. Can’t wait for our next encounter with this truck!

The workers were amazing and friendly, I got there as they were about to leave, but they insisted that they would stay and make my food. It only took them a few minutes to make it, but I would have been willing to wait half an hour. I ordered the Cali burrito with beef; the lettuce was crisp and fresh, the cheese was perfectly melted throughout, the fries had the perfect amount of crunch, the tomatoes were bright red and fresh, and the beef was perfectly marinated and cooked just right. This food is to die for! I will definitely be coming back.

These guys do private parties too. Our company hired them out for a picnic. Enjoyed grilled fish tacos, spicy pork tacos (ok maybe really not that spicy this time) chicken bowl and korean bbq beef bowls. Good portions.

The portion was a bit small and cinnamon fries are not something i’m a fan of but besides that, id recommend the rice bowl, the bbq beef was good

I’m a fan! Ordered the Cali Style Korean Beef Burrito… and man that thing is huge! But let’s talk flavor:
Korean BBQ beef was very tender and had a nice crisp texture to parts of it from the griddle. It was a little sweeter than I’d expect from a korean bbq marinade. What really makes this burrito worth it is their ponzu salsa fresca and 5-​spice fries. Great combination of flavors that really hits the spot. You definitely will not be disappointed with this burrito.

I’ve seen this food truck come by our work area from time to time, and today I figured I should give it a shot. I had previously checked out their menu and some of it sounded pretty intriguing, so I tried the OMG Burritto with Teri Chicken. Although it was okay, it really didn’t taste anything like Teriyaki sauce, so I don’t know that I would order it again. It was… interesting… but that was about it. Filled with a pink/​orange sauce of some kind that was something between a tartar sauce feel or something of that sort, and it kind of overwhelmed the potential (and supposedly famed) «5 spice fries» that I was hoping would be more prominent.
I’ll probably try the rice bowl next time, but honestly, everyone can do a decent rice bowl, so I was hoping they would have something else that would stand out. Right now I’m not super impressed, but I’ll give it another shot next time.

Best food truck on Naval Base San Diego! Whereas every other truck that shows up in the morning has painfully average selection, Tabe has a legitimately original and creative breakfast burrito. Bacon, egg, and underdone potatoes? I think not! Tabe’s breakfast burrito had a wonderfully tasty and colorful mixture of what appeared to be French fries, egg, perfectly blackened sausage, and another meat that I believe was ham. All covered in a spicy-​mayoish sauce, and accompanied by «salsa» that was reminiscent of sesame and chilies. Just right. Thanks for making my Thursday morning awesome Tabe!

Mmm. its been a long time since i had Tabe and I totally forgot how good it was. In case you didn’t know, they were one of the first and original food trucks in San Diego.
I’ve only had their tacos every time and it still hasn’t disappointed me! My favorite is the Korean BBQ. What I love about it is that they put sweet cantaloupes, honey dew, and pineapples, which I think is a perfect balance to the Korean BBQ savory flavor along with great texture such as daikons and seaweed flakes. I think the flavor is just unique and perfect! The spicy pork taco was also good, but i thought it was too oily for my taste. They used to come over to my workplace a lot, which is near UCSD, and we’ve recently requested them to come back again, so I hope to see more of them in the future!

Super fast service which was nice. I’m always expecting long waits in front of food truck. Thought I would try it since it was in front of my work place. Kimchi was good… maybe I shouldn’t have gotten it though since I work in a cubicle at work.
I got the garlic fried rice with Korean BBQ meat. The meat was bland and didn’t have the flavor I was hoping for in Korean BBQ. The garlic fried rice just tasted like brown rice. I was disappointed with the food and flavors since everyone at my work was raving about the truck. The tacos probably taste better because there are more ingredients to mask the bland flavor.

OMG BURRITO ALL THE WAY WITH THAT AWESOME SAUCE.
Would always try to make it out to the Mira Mesa foodtruck nights when I lived in San Diego. This burrito is so beautiful I don’t even know how to describe it. I decided to write a Unilocal review because the last time I had one was over a year ago and the cravings are immensely terrible, haha. That’s how good it is and I can still remember it’s wonderful taste.
Just please take my word for it.

Yeah… I keep an eye out for this truck in particular.
I was sold early on. Cool people, great food, surprisingly accessible. And it’s all so unique. I stopped trying to identify it all a long time ago. It’s just good.
It’s tough to single out anything they offer that’s so much better than the rest. But I’ll say I have an affinity to the pork OMG burrito. And make sure you get plenty of sauce, but you don’t really need it. Just adds to the charm.
And I’ll be completely honest when I say that the people who run this truck are actually a lot nicer than those of other trucks. You can probably figure them out from other reviews I have (if i get around to them).
If you’re looking for a nice treat, this truck has your guilty pleasure.

is it Mexican or is it Asian? Maybe it’s Measian ore Asiacan. Whatever you want to call it, it’s darn good.

One of my top two favorite Food Trucks in the San Diego Food Truck scene.
Love the seasoned beef on the «Tabe Fries» which basically is their version of «Carne Asada Fries»…it has their special seasoned angus/​korean bbq beef on top of fries, and drizzled with their special Tabe salsa red sauce, and sour cream. Eat it with a fork.
Their tacos are incredible too… the pork and the beef versions.
My favorite is a little off the wall though — I love their «Tabe Burger Sliders». They use their Tabe spicy mayo with a very soft bun and juicy meat.
Will keep coming back to this one whenever they are around.

I’m starting to think that there are only a small handful of good food trucks in San Diego and Tabe BBQ is definitely not one of them. It’s another overrated truck that’s rate 4 stars, but really only worth 2 or 3 stars at best. I really don’t understand the hype for this truck. It really didn’t live up to it.
I ordered the Tabe Asada Fries shown below. I haven’t been to a place that could ruin an order of fries, but Tabe has managed to show me what a bad order of asada fries taste like. The meat was very dry and overly saucy/​wet. I didn’t know whether or not to use a fork or a straw.
