I got to try Belinda's Familia food truck thanks to a company lunch event.
The menu of items available is impressive, there were about 10 items, more than most food trucks have to offer.
The loaded fries, and Nachos, and Quesadilla all sounded great but in the end I decided to try the Cali Burrito.
There are several options for the Cali Burrito, you pick Chicken, Carne Asada, Pork, etc. You also pick Guacamole or Sour Cream to get stuffed inside.
The burrito was not as large as some other places, but it did feel hefty, so you could tell it was stuffed.
I cut it in half and took a picture so you could see what it was like inside, and you can see it is full of many ingredients and it is packed.
It was very tasty, flavorful, and 1 whole burrito should be enough to satisfy most people. I think it was $14 and the price seems steep but it is worth it.
The chicken was prepared a little different than other places that serve Cali burritos, and there were less fries inside, but it was delicious and I was full when I was done.
The staff was very nice and friendly, big smiles on their face, and seemed happy to help and serve some great food. If you get a chance to try them you should.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Apr 30, 2022
Found the Belinda's truck at UCSD's Sun God Festival and knew I needed some tacos. I went with carnitas and they were good, great tacos given that every student at the festival was in line ordering and waiting for their food. Their green salsa was the better match for the carnitas. Much needed festival food to power up for the next set. Thanks for coming to UCSD!

Another food truck located in front of the hotel we were staying...the truck delivers die great Mexican food. Ordered some carne Asada fries and it sure hit the spot. Fries were warm, crunchy, and slightly salty and the meat was seasoned well. There salsa's went well with the fries and it was a pretty good portion.
There's a big Mexican dude serving the food and his jovial demeanor makes the service better.
Thanks big dude Belinda...if that's who you are...Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - 422218258Feb 3, 2021
Amazing food! Being from Chula Vista and before COVID, I went to TJ a lot for tacos, so I am very picky when it comes to Mexican food. I really enjoyed my California burrito (with carne asada and guac), the hot sauces are all good, and the staff's friendly and attentive customer service makes you feel very welcomed.
The only thing I noticed that I had concerns about were the beverages, hot sauces, and plastic cutlery were all out for people to grab. With COVID going on, I requested hot sauces from inside the truck, which they were completely understanding about. Looking forward to trying the tacos next!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sam R.San Diego, CA2765115Apr 23, 2022
As a San Diego Loyals (men's soccer team) season pass holder, I am so ecstatic Belindas is at every game! Their food is absolutely amazing and customer service on point. I heard they are at every Wave (women's soccer team) as well! Absolutely amazing all around!

They are the perfect option to have come to your complex, high rise or neighborhood. The staff is very friendly.
The burritos were excellent, tortillas are very soft and large portions.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Darryl G.San Diego, CA3616153670Mar 4, 2019
Just ordered the veggie burrito. I think that the quantity of food (i.e. the size of the burrito) is very generous, and that the salsa was outstanding.
But sadly, I will confess that it was the WORST burrito I have eaten in San Diego, an area know for flavorful and inventive burritos:
- it has no taste whatsoever and I had to douse it with salsa to give it any sort of flavor
- all the lettuce was at the bottom instead of spread evenly through the burrito
- All the cheese was in one giant clump in the middle
Seriously, I think you should be embarrassed to sell this for $8. It was really terrible, and a huge disappointment. 50% of my burrito went to the trash where it was better suited.
UPDATE: My co-worker just got the carne asada burrito and he said it is absolutely lacking of all favor. Lowering my rating from 2 starts to 1 star.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ari L.El Cajon, CA04817Oct 24, 2021
Tried them out at taco feast and they were the best tacos I ate at the whole event. Had to find out they're a taco truck when I looked them up. Can't wait to get more ! It'll be worth the 18 mile drive to get more of these tacos

Love the quesadillas! Does a good job in filling my stomach a couple of weekdays, especially while studying. Used to have at Mesa Nueva, UCSD.
