Red Rooster Tacos

I came here on a random Saturday afternoon around 2:30 and it felt like this guy was parked a million miles away from civilization on 19^th and Harrison. The good part about this? Parking!
There were two oddities that I’d hope the owner would rethink:
1. No garbage. There was no garbage can available. Maybe he just had forgotten to put it out.
2. Pay after? He didn’t take my money until after he had given me my food. There are potentially so many problems with this I just don’t have the time to get into it.
The good side:
Exceptionally friendly.
I tried the Chicken Quesadilla and it was very good and I will be back next time I see this truck. Even better though, and I highly suggest you give it a try, is the excellent green salsa. It really makes this quesadilla stand out and makes me want to tell you about it. What ever you get make sure it has green salsa!

Food is good. Service a bit challenging as one poor guy is slaving away cooking while the order taker was very rude. Seemed like he was doing us a big favor by taking our money. Perhaps he was having a bad day but he sure had the wrong attitude for dealing with the public. He just gave out a very negative vibe. Sodas were room temperature and no menu was posted and then he would get upset with people for asking what the choices were as the line was very long. It took a good amount of time to get served but thankfully the food was good. I wouldn’t patronize this food truck again as the rudeness ruined the whole experience. This guy did a good amount of business that day but you will not find «service with a smile» here like you do with other food trucks who seem to value the customers who choose them for their meal choices.

Top Notch Food Truck the best Mexican food I ever tasted in my life, everything was on point from the meats to the sauces, I love Red Rooster

Angelique and Hugo are a great team and they are awesome to work with. I worked with Angelique placing my order and managing changes along the way, always remaining flexible and friendly along the way. Hugo delivered my order and was made sure he was in communication on timing for delivery. And then there was the food. We had ordered a take out taco bar with some churros. All of our guests, including myself were happy with the quality and taste of the food. Definitely will consider them for another food catering event!

Chipotle is better.
Burrito = No texture. Everything is soft and squishy.
Rice and beans and a thick tortilla leave everything else tasting bland.
Hot sauce is zero hot.
Their tacos looked pretty good, perhaps i should have gone with those.

EVERYTHING about our experience with Red Rooster was fabulous! They catered a party for us on Saturday. Hugo and team catered 100 tacos + quesadillas and churros to our home and everyone just loved the food. And I did too! It was delivered on time, hot and per my order and working with Angelique was a very pleasant experience. I knew form the beginning we were in good hands with the great care and professional service I received. Thank you again for making our party a great one and we hope to see you soon!

One of the best foodtruck burritos I’ve had ever.
Truck was in front of bmwl on the date of how weird.
The guys running the truck were cool as well.
Try this place out if you have the chance to.
So great

Red Rooster has the BEST tacos and service ever. I’ve used them for tons of catering events. They are on time, friendly, the food is delicious and fresh and everyone always loves them. Hugo is a pleasure to work, the entire team is truly amazing. WE LOVE RED ROOSTER!

Wonderful catering! Fresh, gluten-​free tacos for all. I especially like the tasty meats (like the chicken) and if you love cilantro and onions, this is the place for you. Tasty tacos. Catering. Delivery. Wonderful.

We hired Red Rooster to cater a company event for about 75 that we held in our office. Initially we wanted to have the truck park outside the office and we would get the food from the truck. Logistically this ended up being a mess with our office building so we asked if they could bring the food upstairs and we would just have the entire event in our office. No Problem!
The team was on time, friendly, and efficient. Set up was a breeze — they brought a flat top up to heat tortillas, had all the meat choices, rice beans, salsa, chips and guac and it was all DELISH!
The entire company raved about how good the food was– everyone got more than enough and quickly too. Them being able to change gears and serve in the office saved the day.
I would highly recommend Red Rooster for any event.
Good food, good service, great price point.

Carnitas $ 2 — 4 stars

Incredibly soft, tender meat, but there wasn’t too much of it quantity-​wise. The tortillas were soft and tasty.

My husband and I hired Red Rooster Tacos to cater our wedding party. We were BLOWN away. Their tacos, burritos and quesadillas incredible, everyone was raving about the spicy sauce.
Not only was the food great, but they also provided amazing service. Our party was in Half Moon Bay, so they were driving the truck from San Francisco. Unfortunately, they had a tire blowout on the way. None of their trucks were close enough to switch out, so Hugo borrowed his brother’s truck in order to still make it. He kept us updated with what was going on and got to the party with only a slight delay.
His commitment to customer service and getting to our party was worth its weight in gold!!! We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Hugo and Red Rooster Tacos for helping us make it an awesome night!

Don’t waste your time debating this one… JUST DO IT! :)
Red Rooster taco truck is not only good looking, but clean and sanitary too. Definitely appealing and eye catching with it’s modern, edgy style, you won’t be ashamed to have this truck parked in front of your home or business. Authentic, finger lickin’ tacos aren’t the only thing this truck serves, you can count on some top notch service here. Prices are great, workers are efficient and food is DELICIOUS! I’ve been lucky enough to try this food catered at a private event and have also experienced it in it’s full street style glory and both times I was nothing less than satisfied.
If there’s a line, you better get in it because these tacos are worth the wait!!! :)

Tasty, lip smackingly good and a little grease never hurt anyone. Taste like a southern California taco! I’m Impressed. Now I don’t have to get to Oakland any more for some decent tacos, Tacos Mi Rancho, always a favorite.
Had spicy carne asada, comes with pickled carrot and jalepeno. Best taco in sf– perhaps. 3 tacos and a diet all for 7 bucks. It’s a good thing.

Red Rooster’s utilitarian, all-​lengua foodlog contained no rice, no beans, partially-​unmelted cheese, a lightly grilled tortilla, and still pretty much ruled. Why? It was the melt-​in-​your-​mouth tender tounge, so good that it made me ignore the fact that I was pretty much making out with a cow (lengua, the meal that could at one point have licked back). Flavored with a faint hint of cinnamon and citrus, it was perhaps the tastiest lengua I’ve ever laid eyes (or pallate) upon. While a little bit of over-​the-​top sauciness made some slurping required, the damn thing held together beautifully
A loving handful of Jalapeños and Pickled vegetables provided a nice spicy back-​up and needed crunch, and melded their spice exceptionally with piquant salsa and extraordinarily chunky guacamole. While the entire thing could have used a stint on the grill post-​construction to fully-​melt the cheese and bring temperatures up to appropriately scalding levels, it was still one of the best burritos I’ve had in recent memory.

Wow! This was the most delicious taco that I’ve ever gorged my face in. only great things to say about this place: the service was amaaazing, the guy behind the counter was incredibly friendly and I told him I wanted to just try something small, he suggested a taco. I asked for an avocado on it and he said sure: $ 2. I picked grilled chicken (tryin’ to be healthy here!) for the taco and within minutes, BAM. He gives me the taco and says «I make it especially for you.» I don’t know whether he was trying to give me something special because I left a $ 1 tip (just for his sheer friendliness) or whether he was trying to make me feel special as a customer, but this freaking taco blew my mind… like no other taco in this world has.
So much so, it deserves its own special paragraph: it had a great home made spicy sauce (or marinade?) to it, the chicken tasted orgasmic with the combination of sauce, avocado and the high quality white meat that I was served. For $ 2, I got a pretty large taco, so much so that it wasn’t closed and I pretty much had to eat it with a fork.
Amazing food truck. caught it as I was walking through the Mission. Lucky to have this one, folks!

I would’ve never thought of putting roasted chicken into a burrito. Burritos in my eyes were always associated with meat — carne asada, al pastor, etc. I thought their chicken burrito would taste like Chipotle’s makeshift Mexican food, but I was wrong! The chicken was extremely flavorful and the marinade added another dimension of juiciness. I’m from Fruitvale, so I’ve had my share of some quality tacos and burritos and Red Rooster is that type of good.
P. S. Thank you SFSU for bringing this food truck to campus!

Starving as I experienced a long day of exams and chemistry lab with no food since 8am, Red Rooster had lights shining on it like fricken ANGELS leading me to it or something. It happened to be on my campus today and I ran up to the truck wanting to BEAR HUG it.
The owner was extremely enthusiastic and friendly and recommended the Al Pastor (marinated pork) to me.
Hail to the pig that died for me because I swallowed it in 9 minutes. I ordered the burrito for $ 7 flat, NO TAX! The burrito came with a bunch of stuff which I didnt really care for because I was so hungry. But I THINK it had cilantro, beans, rice, marinated pork, guacamole, sour cream… and that’s all I remembered. It was DELICIOUS!
Next time, I will definitely try the $ 2 tacos because I can see how all their other meats taste like.
Until next time, ADIOS, or shall I say COCK-​A-​DOODLE-​DOOOOO!

I was on my lunch break and noticed that Red Rooster was stationed on campus (SFSU) so I went to go check it out.
I wanted something small so I got two tacos. One carne asada with mild salsa and one al pastor with hot salsa. Each taco was $ 2. They gave me pickled jalapeños and carrots too.
Service was pretty speedy. I seriously got my tacos within five minutes. I think this is because they weren’t particularly busy when I ordered.
Both tacos were good. I liked the carne asada one the best but I’m wondering if it’s because I liked the salsa better. Both salsas were good but the mild had more focus on flavor and the hot had you noticing the heat more. Otherwise, both tacos were juicy delicious.
The pickled veggies were great. They offer these to you as they give you your food so when you get your food… I recommend you get ‘em.
Tasty meal.
