Very good food everything on the menu is great check their daily special yummy yummy cant wait to try all their menu

Above average for a taco truck. The tacos were made to order. The tortillas were not the thick bready kind that makes you regret carb consumption. Rather, they were thin and and the edges were slightly crispy. Ordered carne asada and al pastor … of the two, the carne asada had a slight edge. If I was walking by again, I would get more. On the sidewalk outside the truck, there are two very small tables with some plastic stools … but a place like this you don’t stick around for too long anyway. Nice lady — they take credit cards, too!

This is the best taco truck. I use to eat here 3 times a week. I have beed unable to find the truck for the past year. Please let me know where you are located in Koreatown.

Had the pastor tacos and the carnitas burrito, and boy were they both great. Sat on her little table and a lovely time. I see she has tlayudas, too, which seems strange for a truck but I can’t wait to try em!

Fast, cheap, and good. Chicken tacos are the best out of all there tacos. Tasty and never got sick off a local down the street truck.

Ok I live a block away from Maria’s and there are soo many damn options on where to eat Tacos. I have been fortunate enough that everywhere I have eating late at night the food has been good… until now.
I know that you can’t expect much from a catering truck, but come on after tasting their competition I would expect the same from there. I order a Burrito and half the burrito the rice felt burned and the other half felt all mushy. Also I had more vegetables than meet on my damn burrito and I ordered it with extra meat.
My friend ordered a quesadilla and it tasted like it was just microwaved. Now my parents worked on a roach coach or catering truck, and I know that it wasn’t the greatest either, but at least everything was fresh… probably why they went out of business. But anyway, there is another drawback with them and that is there is never a fixed schedule, they are there and they are not there.
I will probably never go there again, but if it’s my only option they I will suck it up and take it like a man and eat my damn Burrito.

4 stars. So this is a taco truck. Nothing fancy: just street food, plain and simple. Yet, therein lies the charm: colorful, local flavors, no hassles… as long as I don’t get sick. I had skipped lunch while working off-​site, was running back to my office and needed to grab a quick bite to get help me stay on my two feet. Saw Maria’s little truck, pulled over, and in less than five minutes, I got my burro and was pulling back out into traffic. I even had time to make nice conversation with the nice, young Limited-​Spanish speaker in front of me who was trying to explain that she wanted pineapple Jarritos (ah, to have an edge on cultural competency…)
Got my burrito de asada and was on my merry way in a jiffy. The burrito was about 6″ x 3.5″, filled with rice, beans, onions, scallions, and asada. Got me through the afternoon all right. This burrito lacked some body (some burritos are wrapped tightly and just seem «stiffer») but was a joy to consume. Quite authentic «local» flavor, better by miles than anything frozen or refrigerated.
The number of menu options can stun you a bit, but you get the standards: tacos, burritos, tostadas, tortas, cemitas… Got a good «working man’s lunch» in my burrito for $ 3.50. They even include a pickled jalapeño, rabanitos (radishes) and carrots. The vinegar helps to cut through the otherwise heavy rice/​protein/​fat mix of the burro. If you choose to indulge in a bottle of cold, refreshing Jarritos, you will another $ 2 in the red.
Maria’s taco truck is parked on West 3^rd Street, near the intersection with Mariposa, at 3820 W. 3^rd, to be exact. The truck is rather indistinct: no blaring musing, no neon signs, no chairs on the sidewalk, no fancy lettering on the panels or big painting of the Virgencita on the back –It’s just a regular lunch truck. They work from 10 a.m. — 4 p.m. Mon — Saturdays, with dinner hours on Wednesdays only. The couple behind the counter were friendly and efficient.
Verdict: I just found me a new low-​key troca feeding spot in L.A. «Yay, I’m a fan!» (I’ll post an update if I get sick…)
