Tacos El Ruelas - Pierce St Richmond

This review is only for the papa loca with Al pastor. The papa loca with Al pastor is the only thing you should be getting here. The Al pastor is also the only meat they kind of season. Everything else here is bland and needs a ton of salsa to taste good. The service is fine. You order at the truck. Take your ticket to a cook and wait. Good luck finding parking after 6pm.

I actually enjoyed the tacos and quesadillas con tortilla hecha a mano. The sauces are on point and they stuff meat and guac no extra charge!It's nice to find a place that allows you to grab the chiles, carrots, cauliflower, and chiles on the side. Definitely will come again!

Flavorless. The horchate is good. 21st Street taco truck, La Flor de Jalisco, is way better and down the street. Also open late

Let me start by saying... don't believe the hype. I've noticed that videos online have been circulating gassing this place up on the burritos and tacos, but unless you like your meat bland and underwhelming, this ain't it. Bought 9 tacos of different types (regular, vampiros, quesabirria) and all of them missed. Now the food here isn't nasty, it's just sad. Threw a lot of salsa on the tacos and they still weren't doing what they had to do the only things that saved them were the pineapples and some Tapatio sauce I had at home. While the service was decent and the space large and open (in a lot), the quality didn't match the prices (AKA overpriced and underseasoned). If you see the influencers on IG hyping this up, sorry but they lyin'.

Off the top, there's little to no parking around there since you can't park across the street. Next, the ordering process is a bit confusing as they don't have a set system in place. You order at the truck, they hand you a number and tell you to give it to one of the guys cooking. The guy cooking didn't want to take our number right away. The meat looked cold and like they kept reheating it. We ordered a torta cubana to share since we seen how big it is. It comes with chorizo, hot dog, ham and Milanesa. All that meat and it still had no flavor. The hot dog had a weird flavor and the milanesa tasted stale and old. I tried to drown it in salsa but even that wasn't helping. The green avocado salsa was the best that we tried. I also ordered the quesabirria tacos, you have to get the order of 3. They looked good but the whole thing was bland. They had a group playing corridos which was fine but it was so loud you couldn't hear when they called out your order and then the guys would get mad if you didn't go up right away.
