El Potosino - Daly City

The local daly city food truck in front of blue store. Can get busy! You can reach them at (650) 267-3494 and call them in advance for a pick up order. I am transitioning towards a vegetarian lifestyle and their veggie taco comes with beans, avocado, lettuce, carrots, salsa, and sour cream. Filling! I wish they stopped using styrofoam plates since those take a million years to decompose.... Other than that, love this El Potosino!

You might be surprised to learn that some of the best under the radar Mexican food in the Bay Area can be found in front of a liquor store on an obscure corner in Daly City. Locals, however, have been in on this place for years. Having formerly lived in Daly City, I've been coming to this truck since I was only a few years old, and the food from El Potosino still has the power to take me back to my childhood. First of all, you'd have a hard time finding better value anywhere else. $1 2 tacos? Check. (see attached photo). $7 super burrito?! Unheard of around these parts. And yet, it is delicious. No frills, no pomp and circumstance, just honest, authentic Mexican food. Personally, I would suggest going for the carne asada super burrito, which was one of my absolute favorite things to eat as a child. After all these years, the meat is still flavorful, and is perfectly complemented by the richness of the cheese, guac, and crema. You also can't go wrong with any of the meats in the tacos, as they are all quality. Even the quesadillas are worth a buy. (side note: I would suggest getting the salsa separate for your order, then adding it yourself. The salsa verde in particular is excellent) It might not look like much at first, but don't be fooled this place is legit.

WOW. ^Read that one more time but slowly. I've had tacos in Central Valley, SoCal, and especially Mexico, but I think I've found my favorite AUTHENTIC taco truck in the West Bay. The burrito was just like the ones my mom would make to go to work, you know the ones that you eat after waking up at 3:30am to make the eat with your parents y tíos after working in agriculture. The torta estaba planchada, to the point where every bite was a crunch, and all the flavors blended together so well. Fresas con crema is an option, the only thing that kinda killed it a bit was that some of the fresas still had bits of green stem but my boyfriend didn't care! I'm always on the look out for great taquerias and WOW this one blew my mind. AND THE FOOD IS GENEROUSLY PRICED! Please tip these lovely ladies because they're pouring mucho mucho AMOR in their food! 11/10!

This truck was a little hard to find (just a plain white one in front of the hillsdale market or something I forgot the name). Went at 2pm on a Saturday and there was no line. Got Carnitas, Asada, and chorizo. All were good! Served with cilantro and salsa. Wish there were more toppings maybe but found it to be a very yummy and AFFORDABLE place. Only reason for 4/5 is that it they weren't out of this world.

Best tacos in Daly City hands down! Been coming here since high school and I'm glad theyre still serving their tacos for $1! My faves is their steak and carnitas tacos, I recently tried the al pastor and that was pretty bomb too. They dont keep their salsa's and onions and cilantro out on the side anymore so u gotta ask for their green salsa, which btw is amazinggg. Last time I was here I got three tacos, didnt know they started putting red salsa on their tacos so it threw off my taste buds but it was still good. I was still hungry and got two more after but this time said no red salsa and extra onions and cilantro, topped it with some green salsa and omg it was everything! I was in heaven.. I honestly think I couldve ate two more haha. Your first salsa is free, anything after that is an extra 50 cents. There are tables so u can stand and enjoy your tacos. Parking is easy and there is a liquor store right across if you need snacks or booze.
