Great tacos!!! I mean really great!!! Homemade tortillas that were crunch around the edges and held together in the middle. Ingredients were so flavorful. Had one carne asada and one tacos al pastor. Could have eaten 4 more if I didn’t need to drive home. Price was very reasonable. If you are close to them, make sure you seek them out. Good job Big Sur Tacos. A truly enjoyable meal.

We saw this food truck while driving through Big Sur on vacation and it was DELICIOUS! The tortillas are made fresh on site and the staff was incredibly friendly.

Best Taco Truck around. Best handmade tortillas and spectacular meats and veggie options. Executed a complex wedding in Big Sur at Henry Miller Library during COVID planning times. Completely seamless. Uber professional. Did not need to worry about them. Delivered beyond our expectations. Photo credit: KubaOkonphotography

These guys catered my party, and they were AWESOME! Their catering menu had lots of choices, included chips/salsa/guac, and because we had fewer people than originally planned, they left us with some burritos before they left. Having a taco truck in the driveway was also a big draw. Highly recommended.

Delicious food! I got the tacos and they were so good. The staff was amazing and patient with me when figuring out my payment when my card wasn’t working. I’m definitely coming back regularly!

Some of the best fresh/handmade tortillas ever. I'm typically pretty underwhelmed by chicken, but I actually enjoyed and would reorder the chicken tacos. Definitely seek this place out and grab some tacos. Delicious.

Delicious! The tortillas are made fresh. Beans are very flavorful. The best veggie taco I've had. Chorizo taco and mexican rice was also really good.

If you see this truck you should feel lucky and go to it! Corn tortillas elpastor and the best produce! Careful with red sauce but definitely use a little! Also the folks in the truck are always great!
