Taco Nomad food truck with customers

Our Story

Taco Nomad started in 2019 when chef Carlos Mendoza traded his restaurant kitchen for a mobile one, bringing authentic Mexican street food to the neighborhoods of San Francisco.

Growing up in Mexico City, Carlos learned to make tortillas from his abuela and spent years perfecting traditional cooking techniques. Now he's sharing those flavors from the window of his custom-built taco truck.

Every morning, we make fresh corn and flour tortillas by hand. Our meats are marinated overnight and slow-cooked for hours. The salsas? Made fresh daily with roasted chilies and authentic spices.

We believe great tacos shouldn't require a sit-down restaurant. They're meant to be eaten standing on a street corner, shared with friends, and enjoyed throughout the city. That's why we're always on the move, bringing authentic street tacos to wherever you are.

"The best tacos are made with love, served fresh, and shared with community. That's what we do every day."

— Carlos Mendoza, Owner & Chef
