Today ordered food for 2, and total was 41$! I told my wife to pick me up an asada quesadilla, and the price was 17$! My wife commented on how expensive it was, but lady insisted that it was a huge quesadilla. When I opened it, it looked just like a regular looking quesadilla with a little bit of meat and cheese in it. (See pictures)Honestly wasn’t that disappointed at first, but when she told me the price, and about the ladies comment, I felt disgusted. Especially when i tasted it. Just terrible! Are they even using real beef? Wife also hated her 20$ burrito. One of the worst places to get Mexican food in Salinas, and trust me there are a handful of place that suck. But El Volcán near Food Max takes the cake!

Disappointing and overpriced. Paid $20 for a quesadilla and $5 per taco, definitely not worth it. The tacos were small and underfilled, and they messed up a simple asada quesadilla by adding jalapeños I didn’t ask for.

I normally love the Voulcan Taco Trucks so I assumed their restaraunt would be just as good…. I was sadly mistaken!!!! First of all, I ordered the Carne Asada Dinner and Ithe menu said it came with guacamole which is one of the main reasons I ordered it but when I got it there was no guacamole… when I asked why there was no guacamole the guy just said, “Sorry… we don’t have any….” Then I asked for flour tortillas because I don’t like corn tortillas but they gave me what?? Corn tortillas!!! What the heck?? And then, I asked for a Tamarindo to drink because I couldent see any other beverages and I saw the bottled ones on the counter but the guy serves me a huge cup of Tamarindo with NO LID AND CHARGES ME $9.00!!!!! I told him,” I didn’t order this huge drink” and he just shrugged his shoulde

Horrible customer service, burrito came without guacamole even though we paid for it, they charged for chips and salsa which I am ok with but only got 10 chips for $2.50. I asked for a to go container for the salsa since it came with the chips, was told I would have to pay .75 for the to go container. The lady was very rude even though the food was good. Won’t go back

I ordered 8 tacos from the truck on the Eastside; six chicken and two asada. I was ordering in Spanish and the guy at the window was laughing me and rolling his eyes. I reiterated TWICE that I did not want onions on four of the chicken tacos. I got home to find onions on all four of them. I even tipped them. The lady inside the truck was nice, but that young dude needs training - straight up. Employees should never laugh at customer's. I may not speak Spanish well, but I can. Real disrespectful. Be aware that it is VERY expensive as well.
