Taqueria Mena is one my favorite food trucks here in sb, it’s one of those spots that feels really authentic. The food tastes amazing and the portions are solid for the price. The meat is flavorful and good. Everything comes out fresh and hot. The atmosphere is kinda sketchy tbh, but that’s part of the charm. The staff is friendly and the they work pretty fast even when it’s busy.

On Wednesday, February 25th, I had a terrible experience with the cashier. I always used to buy from this taco shop, but this is the first time I've ever seen her. She was such a disappointment. She hung up on me because she couldn't even answer a simple call, and when I arrived for my taco order, they didn't even have it. I'm so angry because I've always recommended this taco shop, and this happens. What an awful person! I will never buy from them again, and I will never recommend them because of the cashier's terrible service. She's such a jerk.

The huaraches are delicious, and the quesabirria tacos were yummy. Jamaica was so good. Everything was fresh, delicious, and definitely homemade. I would recommend and be back.

Fantastic tacos. We had the fish tacos and it was delicious. Better than any sit down restaurant. We were visiting Santa Barbara for 2 nights and had to stop here. We also had the beef tacos, they were marinated and super tasty.

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever tried. They have the best burritos.🌯🤤
