A food truck menu should be quick to read, and De Los Altos Food Truck in Gilroy has one of the shortest: seven listings on the ordering page. Short does not mean obvious. Quesabirria comes in a single or a set of three, there are two burritos and a breakfast burrito, and the truck is open only part of the week. This guide walks through each listing, explains the quesabirria, and covers when to order and how to plan a larger order.
The short menu at a glance
The ordering page lists seven items, with the menu’s own descriptions:
- Tacos: meat, onion, cilantro and salsa.
- 1 Quesabirria and 3 Quesabirria: birria, cheese, onion and cilantro.
- Regular Burrito: meat, rice, beans and salsa.
- Super Burrito: meat, rice, beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
- Quesadilla Suiza: meat, cheese and salsa.
- Burrito Desayuno: the listing names chorizo, bacon, ham, ranchero potato, cheese and salsa.
The website says the truck keeps the menu short on purpose, and that food goes on the griddle after you order, not before. The listings that say “meat” do not name the meats on the page, so ask which are available.
Tacos: the base order
Tacos are the base order: meat, onion, cilantro and salsa. It is the format to choose if you want to taste the meat without much else, or if you want to build a meal from several different items.
Order Tacos if:
- You want the simplest thing on the menu.
- You want to pair a taco or two with a burrito or quesadilla.

Quesabirria: 1 or 3
Birria is a stew from Jalisco, Mexico, flavored with dried chiles and spices, according to Mexico News Daily. It is traditionally made with goat or lamb. The quesabirria taco, which came out of Tijuana, uses beef, melted cheese and braised meat in a tortilla, served with a broth for dipping. The tacos are dipped in the broth and then crisped on a hot griddle.
The truck’s listing is shorter: birria, cheese, onion and cilantro. You can order 1 Quesabirria or 3 Quesabirria. The menu does not say whether broth comes with it, so ask.
Order 1 Quesabirria if:
- You want to try it, or add one to a burrito order.
Order 3 Quesabirria if:
- It is your main course.
- You are sharing, or you know you like it.
Menu card — 3 Quesabirria

Burritos: Regular, Super and Burrito Desayuno
Three burritos cover three appetites.
The Regular Burrito is meat, rice, beans and salsa. The Super Burrito adds cheese, guacamole and sour cream to that list, so it is the more loaded of the two. Pick the Regular when the filling is the point, and the Super when the burrito is the entire meal.
The Burrito Desayuno is the breakfast burrito. The listing names chorizo, bacon, ham, ranchero potato, cheese and salsa. The website describes a breakfast burrito with chorizo as the morning order. Ask which of the meats you can choose, and whether you can combine them.

Quesadilla Suiza
The Quesadilla Suiza lists meat, cheese and salsa. It is the one to choose if you want melted cheese and a filling without rice and beans. Like the tacos, it does not name the meat.
When to go: Thursday to Saturday, made to order
The truck is not open every day. The website lists Monday to Wednesday as closed, Thursday from 10 AM to 10 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 11:59 PM. Sunday hours are listed as 12:00 AM to 1:30 AM, which is unclear, so call (650) 207-6932 before you plan a Sunday order.
The website describes the day this way: a breakfast burrito in the morning, tacos at lunch, a super burrito for dinner, and quesabirria on the way home on a Friday night, with the truck open until midnight on Friday and Saturday. The ordering page may show the truck as closed outside these hours, so use it to browse the menu and plan.
Catering for a group
The catering page has a request form for family gatherings, birthday parties and corporate events. You send the event date, the number of guests, the event type and any dietary preferences, and the team follows up, or you can call (650) 207-6932. The page does not list catering items, so ask what is available for your guest count.
