Our first time here tonight. I can confidently say Paper Platez is the best Mexican food truck we’ve tried in the Peninsula Bay Area so far!I got the three birria tacos, which were quite a good portion size, and delicious. If you’ve never had birria tacos before, they’re one of my recent favorites. Basically, you get a deep fried taco accompanied by a pork sauce on the side to dip into. They’re not the healthiest option around, but are truly delicious.You have the option to get one for $6, two for $12, or 3 for $15. Paper Platez’s birria tacos are pretty large, so you are getting a good bang for your buck. Four hours later and I’m still feeling pretty full, so I would recommend getting three only if you have a big appetite. Otherwise, I would recommend sticking to two.For my girlfriend, we got a pork papusa and a chicken tamale. The papusa was good - nothing to call home about, but solid. I was excited about the fact the tamale came packaged in a Ziplock bag - authentic, right? 😅 - but it was disappointing. Fairly tasteless. The tamale came with a tomato based salsa on the side, which was also fairly basic & nothing special enough to save this dish.I like to try new places, but will definitely come back here again, and maybe try a super burrito or some of the regular street tacos next time.If you’re looking for tasty, convenient Mexican food in the Peninsula Bay Area, try this spot out. The birria tacos are worth going a little out of your way for. Parking is super easy (we came at 8pm and there was probably 20+ open spots), food came out about 7-10 minutes after ordering, service was friendly and hospitable, and it’s a cool looking truck, as you can see from the photos.If you’re in the area & looking for a Mexican food truck, we definitely recommend this one!Best,Kyle

I recently tried Paper Platez for the first time and I was really impressed. I ordered the vegetarian burrito and it was delicious. The burrito was huge and filling, and it was packed with flavor. The beans were cooked perfectly, the rice was fluffy, and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. The burrito was also served with a side of salsa and guacamole, which were both excellent.The service at Paper Platez was also very friendly and attentive. I asked for extra salsa verde and Rojas for the burrito. I was far too hungry to take any food pictures and I literally inhaled the burrito. Food pictures would be on my agenda next time around.

I went here during my lunch break and got Veg Tacos. They were delicious!!! The 2 dipping sauces that came with it were SO good! I also got Chips and Salsa and these were one of the best I have had. Chips were crunchy with no after-taste and Salsa was fresh & Refreshing. Keep up the quality of your food!!!!

Yes it’s a truck but… Still my favorite burritos *anywhere* - including all the SF Mission classics which I’ve frequented. I get their carnitas super burrito, with the meat grilled crispy and extra cilantro and onion. Bursts with flavor and always very satisfying. I’ve had their pupusas as well and they’re great, too.

This is a family owned truck and probably means well.i might even ordered the worst item in their menu. A super quesadilla. Normally you get the salad, sour cream and guac on the side but these guys believe in putting all that inside. It creates a whole fat mess thats difficult to eat. Also ruins the taste of the meat and cheese as you dont taste anything. Makes me question their judgement

For a taco truck, Paper Platez is a fine choice! Tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are all good. I havent yet tried their tamales or pupusas.They have some picnic benches under a tent canopy. (Does that count as dine in?) Or take it to go and walk to the nearby Heritage Park which has picnic benches.Right in front of OMalleys there are a couple handicapped parking spaces. Its a tight spot to turn around given the tent. So if you dont have a handicapped placard, enter the driveway just north of the taco truck for parking.

Great carnitas burrito, made to order in the truck. The salsa Verde was delicious and would recommend getting extra if you like to go heavy on the salsa. Large portions and I wasnt able to finish mine. Would come again.

This is the absolute best Salvadoran food around here. They used to have a full restaurant then during the pandemic they downsized to this food truck and kept their popular dishes. They have two plastic tables out front under umbrellas. Love this place!

They Catered an office lunch for 30 people including vegetarians, delivered all of the food and it was AMAZING! Their beans are the best Ive ever had and their tacos are to die for.
