The recognition underscores the growing influence of street food culture in the region. Among the notable entries is a San Jose-based truck known for its unique blend of East African flavors, securing a high position in the rankings. Another standout in Vallejo has gained fame for its expertly crafted tacos and has also been praised for its burritos by local media outlets.
Additional spots went to a family-run taco operation in Napa that has built a loyal following since opening nearly a decade ago, a long-standing taqueria in San Francisco’s Mission District with a straightforward menu of Mexican staples, a Mediterranean-inspired food truck in Vallejo serving dishes like falafel and gyro plates, and another innovative taco spot in San Jose offering both classic and inventive takes on traditional favorites.
