- Burritos: The regular burrito, loaded with pico de gallo, beans, rice, and salsa for $13, is another highlight that continues to impress diners such as Juan D., who recently had his mind blown by the deliciously crafted carnitas.
The atmosphere surrounding Tacos Al Vapor is equally inviting.

The best tacos in the area! The only place I know where they make the taco tortillas as soon as you order! The staff is always friendly and attentive! Freshly made tortillas are not the norm in the Bay Area, you usually see that in San Diego!

Delicious I love the value! The food is sooo delicious. Tortillas are so tender. Love everything about this little red wagon. Warning lines are long at noon but it's worth it!

Hit them up again today. I usually get the Al Pastor burrito, but they were out. Lucky me, they had Carnitas and I had not tried them here yet. Mind Blown ! Damnit, there were sooooo good. The Carnitas were juicy, flavorful and crispy. You can't ask for more than that. Also, the rest of the ingredients were deliciously fresh. It's official, this is my new carnitas super burrito truck! Unfortunately, I did not get to snap a picture, because it is already in my stomach.

Was driving on El Camino Real and saw the red taco trailer on the corner in front of the paint store. It's in the parking lot. The truck looked familiar and I determined it could be related to the Tacos Al Vapor in Burlingame by the car repair shop. Order a bunch of tacos and also their regular quesadilla. They were out of carnitas and lengua unfortunately so I could not try all the tacos. Liked: - chicken quesadilla (good mix of cheese and meat) - tripe tacos - chicken tacos - BBQ pork tacos - carne asada tacos Friendly and fast as well. I will be back to hopefully try the other tacos next
