About This Place

Arturo's TacoTruck is a standout gem in Pasadena’s vibrant street food scene, bringing authentic Mexican flavors to 400 Fair Oaks Ave with an irresistible mix of traditional meats and fresh ingredients. Specializing in tacos that deliver big on bold, unforgettable taste, this taco truck serves up a variety of classics like Carne Asada, Tacos Al Pastor paired with a refreshing glass of Horchata, and more adventurous options such as Tacos De Tripa and Tacos De Lengua that truly celebrate Mexico’s rich culinary heritage.

Every bite at Arturo’s is a flavor-packed journey. Imagine tender, marinated carne asada sizzling with just the right amount of char, enveloped in a handmade corn tortilla. Or the Mulita De Lengua, with its perfectly seasoned beef tongue layered with melted cheese and salsa, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that dance across your palate. The truck’s menu boasts a wonderful diversity of meats—from juicy pork stomach (buche) to savory chorizo and tender chicken—each expertly prepared to deliver street taco goodness that hits all the right notes.

The atmosphere might be simple—after all, it’s a food truck—but the vibe is anything but. Friendly voices greet you warmly, reflecting the genuine care and passion Arturo’s team puts into their craft. The condiment bar is a highlight, offering an array of fresh jalapeños, onions, and salsas, allowing every guest to customize their tacos exactly how they like. As one delighted customer, Steph Couvrette, put it, "The sauces were good, we could pick as much jalapeño and onion as we wanted." This personal touch transforms every visit into an interactive and satisfying experience.

Reviews from loyal customers truly capture the magic here: Shawn Sheng sums it up as food that “satisfy your mouth, tummy, and soul,” while Louie Tran calls Arturo’s “hands down one of the best Taco trucks in LA,” praising not only the fresh, expertly cooked tripas, asada, and lengua tacos but also the warm, welcoming vibe created by the team. Even those with discerning palates like G Tseng rave about the expertly marinated meats, singling out dishes like the California Burrito for repeat visits.

Arturo’s TacoTruck isn’t just about eating; it’s about savoring slices of Mexican culture, one two-bite taco at a time. Whether you’re craving the spicy zest of Tacos Al Pastor or the hearty goodness of a pulled pork quesadilla, every item on the menu is crafted to spark joy and leave you craving more. For locals and visitors alike, stopping by Arturo’s means indulging in street food that’s fresh, flavorful, and genuinely unforgettable.

    Tacos from a truck just hit the spot. And Arturo’s taco truck is no exception. These two bite tacos are so delicious and affordable, anyone visiting Southern California has got to try them. They satisfy your mouth, tummy, and soul. Really great stuff, make sure you eat them fresh to fully enjoy.

    This is hands down one of the best Taco trucks in LA. My wife and I are here every week getting tripas, asada, lengua tacos. Freshly made along with the awesome condiments and salsa that they have, it's a great Taco trucks experience. The guys working in the truck are super friendly too. Stop by and enjoy!

    I don’t like how Google makes you rate atmosphere for food trucks—like seriously? Anyway, I’ve always ordered one thing here, which is the California Burrito. Highly recommended. I’ve ordered it with carne asada and lengua, and I can tell the meat has been marinated or at least flavored. rturo Taco Truck My wife is a pretty good cook. She’s not a chef, but she’s a natural in the kitchen; she can watch some random YouTube/instagram clip and somehow reproduce it (or something very similar). Best of all, she makes sure I have enough protein/vegetables/etc. everyday. Oh. Sorry. We’re here about Arturo’s truck: 1. They have always provided high quality food 2. They have great (self-serve) condiments 3. Generous and ample meat on their tacos and in their burritos 4. Legit salsa and guacamole sauce (not green salsa and expect a smooth, savory sauce) 5. Ask for extra crispy fries in the Cali burrito (be prepared to wait a little longer, but they will definitely make the fries more crispy) Don’t be surprised to see me there on a random night multiple times a week.

    We each got 5 different tacos - chicken, beef, carnitas, chorizo, and al pastor. All of them were different and quite good! We especially liked the condiments bar - the sauces were good, we could pick as much jalapeño and onion as we wanted. Just great overall. Definitely prefer this over the other taco truck in the area where we've gone a couple of times and all the tacos taste the same.

    Arturo’s SLAPS. Period. So grateful this business exists—there are woefully few late night food options in Pasadena. Cash only. We enjoy their horchatas and aguas frescas as well.
