Finally had the chance to try them out today. The food itself was really good and customer service was great/friendly. The ambiance is kinda sketchy though since it's just a food truck in a pretty bad area of south sac. My only complaints would be location and wait times. They told me it would take 25 minutes but it ended up being nearly 45 minutes until my tacos were ready. Parking also wasn't great in an unpaved "lot" behind the abandoned looking building this truck was parked in front of.. I'll try them again if I'm in the area but I won't make a special trip just to go there again otherwise.
These Tacos are Fire! Fuego. Super crispy, meat is tender and the consume had tons of great flavor. The rating of this location is very accurate and worth the drive and money. Service was quick, the ambiance is very common to most taco trucks, they have seating and it was easy to find. Highly recommend.
Probably one of the best taco trucks in the Sacramento area. Been going to them for a couple years and the quality of Mexican street food is still the same. The tacos are full of meat, cilantro and onions. Best of all, the flour tortillas are extra grilled and do not break easily like other flour tortillas. The leftovers that fall on your plate after each bite can produce another taco-- that's how much meat they have in each taco! The burrito was delicious and fat with a crunch in every bite. The salsas were the perfect compliment to the mulitas and tacos. The location in is front of this small ran down building with a parking lot behind it. They're in the process of remodeling the building to use it as their own (per owner).
We have been seeing the social media posts for Doña Mari's Cocinita and finally got the chance to visit them and try their food. Food made to order! This is a place where you will taste the real thing. They are friendly and their food makes you lick your fingers because it's so authentic and good. You can choose to have your tacos on homemade tortillas. It's a little extra in price but worth it! The tacos were a little small but not lacking in flavor. One thing that is always a must for me is diet soda and ice and they only have canned coke and sprite. Try the aguas frescas. They were delish! The enchiladas are made with the sauce cooked on the tortillas. Loaded with your choice of filling and topped with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Yum Yum Yum all day long! Try them out! They are working on their brick and mortar place on the same lot. Can't wait to have them in the neighborhood!
As soon as I arrived here I was greeted and welcomed by Bridget!, I'm all about service and she most definitely went above and beyond! Fair prices!!!! Super inexpensive and the food is amazing!!! Don't sleep on your local food truck especially Dona Mari! Will be back soon! Thank you Bridget for a great recommendation!
