Food Trucks near Monterey Park

“Great tasting pizza made and delivered fresh in your back yard!!“

“Manuel was great Tacos and quesadillas were on point“

“The tacos were amazing. The Pastor was fire!“

“Want to impress LA visitors? Take them here for the shrimp tacos that will take them to Mars. They are out of this world delicious. Not a lot of seating. Service is super quick, and we decided to take it to-go, which they packed up very well (appreciated the cut corner in the styrofoam box). From Boyle Heights to Santa Monica, the crispy shrimp tacos maintained its crunch. Beware. This is the type of spot you're going to start craving for.“

“Stopped by on Saturday and so glad i did, my first time eating here and the recommendation by the staff was to try their specialty, it was amazing and i cannot wait until my next trip to LA to eat here again, if you are in LA do not pass on this truck.“

“Everything that they serve is delicious.The tacos de Carnitas are very good and delicious“

“Riquísimo muy recomendable“

“[ Food ] I had the Al Pastor, Asada, and Lengua taco; all 3 were good and flavorful! It's nice that there's a station where you can scoop your own toppings (chopped onion/cilantro, chili/red onion, and salsas), however, I much prefer an employee with gloves scooping it for us, just for sanitary reasons. [ Service ] There was no line when we arrived so the service was really quick. Everyone seemed nice. [ Parking ] Their parking lot is decent sized; even if it looks full, there's always people going in and out. [ Restroom ] No restrooms.“

“Live down the street and so happy this place is here regularly . Very good food and friendly staff . I recommend the torta with their breaded chicken -- it's really good and don't know other trucks that offer it. One day will try their Birria ramen FYI they take Venmo/Zelle/cash app“

“Finally reviewing Smorgasburg! There's something for everyone here. For a price! At least parking is free for the first 2 hours or so. Walking in it's bustling with people and sometimes there is a line but there is coffee, drinks, lots of different cuisines, a photo op, craft vendors in the center, a beer garden, a row of vegan vendors toward the back, and desserts! The vendors go change out. Last I went there was a Thai gelato with a thin and crispy waffle cup. It took forever to make the waffle but it was so tasty. I also tried done vegan tacos, vegan cubano, and coconut water with fruit. It's nice to be able to get so many different types of thins in one place. Seating is hard to find because it gets crowded the later you go.“

“Los dorados are one of my top 3 taco spots in Los Angeles, their taco it's just crispy like my grandma used to make them and the salsas are delicious, they make you feel very welcome at their spot in el sereno and the ambience is just perfect, you get to dine just like in Mexico out doors and enjoy their delicious tacos“

“BABY! I do NOT play about coffee, living in seattle made me a whole coffee connoisseur and this place is spot on. I love when I can taste the flavors and still taste the COFFEE cus I don’t drink coffee for sugar I want to taste that espresso. On top of it the staff is so friendly I was literally going to a place for 6 months every other day and they didn’t bother to learn my drink or name like what? I will be back and I will bring my friends!!! So many options I am excited about!“

“Been coming to this place for years at least twice a month. The tortas never disappoint. I've placed phone orders and they never get it wrong unlike other places. Their customer service is good. In my opinion, it's the best tortas in Los Angeles. However, my only critique is the fact that they are extremely stingy with the napkins and even worse, with the salsa. They give 2 napkins and 1 salsa per torta. If you ask them for more salsa they charge extra. Apart from this, they only accept cash. We are in 2024 they should be accepting card or at least Zelle/Cashapp. All that being said, I'm still a loyal costumer who will keep enjoying these delicious tortas but that wants more napkins and salsa lol“

“Delicious tacos, with hand made tortillas. The guy that took our order was very friendly.“

“This food truck was outside of paperback brewing - so so good!! I got the birria fries - amazing. So much meat, perfect amount of flavor- overall great. The guys in the truck were so helpful and kind. Overall amazing and will def be back to try other foods!!“

“I am blessed to enjoy and share my recent experience regarding the remarkable taco truck "El Pastorcito. Without a doubt, they have surpassed all expectations. From their mouthwatering pastors, asada, lengua, to their delightful Alambre, the flavors are simply tasteful.Furthermore, Jorge's customer service is commendable. Each interaction with El Pastorcito leaves me satisfied. What truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to consistency.#100% approval rating“

“great customer service delicious freaking food!“

“This is my first time coming back this tacos stand in over 7 years and this place did not disappoint at all, the tortillas are handmade store is delicious I like that they have a limited amount of meats meaning that whatever you get, will be delicious. People working they provide friendly and fast service. Location is as it should be for street tacos, it's just adds more to the ambience and experience of street tacos 10/10.“

“I love coming to this little cart for some dessert. I really have enjoyed everything from the honey nut pancakes to my favorite cheese tayaki. I recently got the sweet potato cheese pancakes and yet again delicious! Staff is always very friendly too.“

“Love all their Mexican Fusion drinks & especially the sugar free!!! Wide variety, there’s something for everyone ☕️ Plus everyone is very sweet♥️“

“# 129 Review for 2024 ***A Culinary Journey: Authenticity, Tradition, and Flavor Explosion at Tacos Los Palomos*** Overall 5 Stars***** If there's a sacred haven for taco enthusiasts, Tacos Los Palomos is it. Nestled in East LA, this gem embodies the essence of Mexican street food culture. As a self-proclaimed taco inspector, stumbling upon this treasure was a stroke of luck, unraveling a tapestry of flavors that transported me to the heart of culinary authenticity. What sets these taco trucks apart is their unwavering commitment to tradition. It's not just about tacos; it's a testament to preserving heritage, using time-honored recipes and seasonings that make each bite an homage to Mexican street cuisine. The sheer variety of flavors--Lengua, Buche, Tripa, Suadero, and Cueritos--each bursting with its own distinct taste, left an indelible mark on my taste buds. But let's talk about the salsa, specifically the chipotle; it deserves its own accolades. It's not just a condiment; it's a flavor symphony that elevates every taco to a divine experience. Yet, beyond the culinary prowess, these taco trucks serve as a conduit to nostalgia and cultural roots. They transcend the realm of mere dining; they're gateways to cherished memories and a taste of home. Each bite feels like a reunion with flavors that resonate with a deep sense of belonging. Tacos Los Palomos isn't just a taco truck; it's an emblem of community, tradition, and an odyssey through the rich tapestry of Mexican culinary heritage. In a world where authenticity often gets diluted, this place stands tall as a beacon of genuine flavors and cultural significance. In short, if you seek not just a meal but an expedition into the soul of Mexican street cuisine, Tacos Los Palomos deserves not just five stars but a standing ovation for keeping the flame of tradition alive in every savory taco they serve.“

“I recently had dinner (reservations are a must) here in Downtown L.A.'s Arts District and was blown away by the entire experience from the moment I walked through that giant heavy wood door. With an evolving menu dependent of local California produce and focusing primarily on wood-fired and charcoal-fueled grill and stove cooking, Chef Junya Yamasaki and Team take you on a journey for all of your senses. This is progressive Japanese cuisine at its best! We had: Brown rice sake sangria; Passionfruit/sweet potato shochu & tonic water; Crispy Japanese Eggplant Fritters w/hot chili honey; Blue Fin Tuna Tartar w/cured egg yolk, breakfast radish & potato crisps; Grilled Saikyo Mido Marinated Black Cod, Mochi Rice & Sweetcorn-wrapped in fig leaf; Grilled Matsutake Mushrooms W/ roasted whole baby pumpkin stuffed w/an egg; Grilled Peads & Barnetts Pork Collar, mashed cannellini beans & charred peppers; and Irish Coffee Kakigori (shaved ice served w/coffee & Irish whiskey syrup, dates. & whipped cream)“

“The costilla taco and it had so much flavor! It wasn't huge but it was just the right lunch size for me. Served with green onions and radishes, it reminded me of Mexican dinners with my grandma. I also had the chips with guacamole (so flavor-packed!) and delicious watermelon agua fresca. This meal was a total win, all around.“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“¡En primer lugar, Jairo es el mejor que hay, un hombre muy agradable y un gran servicio al cliente! ¡En segundo lugar, empecemos diciendo los mejores tacos de la historia! No voy a ningún otro lugar aparte de mis tacos de Leo tan buenos como si tuviera antojo de algunos ahora mismo. Me encanta este lugar, lo recomendaría 5/5The atmosphere is dope too not to spooky great spot to get tacos safely“

“Went to the truck on West Sunset Blvd AND WOW. 10000 stars. This is one of the best tacos I've ever had. The flour tortilla is top notch. We had the asada tacos and they were delicious. I'd drive hours for these. Totally worth a trek if you don't live nearby.“

“Good tacos. Quick service. I tried a variety of their meat options. Was not crazy about the chicharrón but it could be that I prefer chicharrón tacos to have the fried chicharrón, and not the stewed (soft) variety. Overall if you are craving tacos, it is late and you are in the area, this place will not disappoint.“

“great churros.. and friendly service“

“Great spot food was delicious from the burritos to tacos. From the usual carne asada,chicken, chorizo and the al pastor. Let's not forget the tripas crisp. Portions are perfect and nothing hits a late night bite to eat. Clean and very professional. They take cash and card. They also have Aguas frescos and soda can. Oh let's not forget the loaded papa. Huge bake potato topped with cheese, and any meat you want and any other topping.“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“The truck was at our What's Up SCV What the Truck event last night in Canyon Country. We got the Classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. It was wonderful! If you can't to Philly for a cheesesteak, then get one from Philly Jay's Steaks! It was the best one that I have ever had in CA! Tasted like a great cheesesteak should! Thanks for coming to our event!“

“Was getting out of planet fitness and was super super hungry. Couldn't wait till I get home since it's about an hour away. So came here to see the menu. I was more intrigued with the $7 hotdogs, so I wanted to try it. I also added Avocado since I am obsessed with Avocado. It was AMAZING!!!!! It was love in first taste lol. I had also ordered one chorizo taco with red sauce and it was the bomb!!!Hotdog (1st photo) and Chorizo taco (2nd photo)“

“I stay eating in East Los Angeles because it's my hometown and hands down we have some f the best food ever. My husband and I love Mariscos. We're always willing to try new places. This lunch truck so happens to park by my house. We were hungry and wanted something refreshing and Maye Mariscos was our pick. The lady was very nice and they had a line of people. We knew it was good when people we're ordering for the next day already. She has a very good variety of things. They had so many different tostadas, their tacos were so good. I got the camarones en salsa negra and a taco de pescado. My husband had the aguachiles verde and a tostada mixta. Everything we got was delicious we definitely made a great choice by coming. The location is a lunch truck there are chairs and a little table where you can sit and eat your food. They also have take-out and they're there every day as far as I'm aware. I definitely give them 5 start plus five more if you're ever in East Los stop by and try these mariscos. They will not disappoint you.“

“They have several different options to chose from drink wise and a full menu that I will certainly be going back, and trying. There's plenty of people in line, coming and going. I could tell this place is popular among its locals and has a solid backing from its customers. There's room to stand and wait, and it's easy to pull in and park. Quiet part of town, so it's a peaceful area.“

“this belief there is a compassionate advanced way to give all species the opportunity to life no species should be dominant to where it destroys another“

“This food truck is one of the best one's out in the streets of Vernon CA took my family and we love coming here the tacos dorados de camarón are on point the ceviche out of this world and my favorite are the tacos de camarón empanizado.... If you're around Vernon or hungover ....come Here .....“

“Keep in mind. This is a lunch truck. The food is good and served with good portions for the price. It's also located in the heart of East Los Angeles overlooking the famous El Pino up in the hill and near the famous El Mercadito de Los Angeles. Lacking in parking thoigh“

“We stopped by late for our midnight munchies meal. We ordered three different tacos and a bean & cheese burrito with the hottest sauce. The older gentleman told me to add the hot chili myself because he wasn't sure I could handle the heat. I laughed and told him bring it on and that I love hot chili. The food was really good and that chili was hot and it crept up and was burning my mouth at the end of my meal.“

“great customer service delicious freaking food!“

“exelente comida exelente cervicio.....“

“Good tortas I tried the torta cubana its was big and delicious i definitely coming back to tried a different torta only reason i give them 4 stars is because their salsas aren't spicy they need to incorporate jalapeños or chiles toreados.“

“This has to be the best ceviche I've ever had. They serve it on a food truck and they have some seats by the truck to enjoy your food. Now you're thinking theres no way the food is fresh if its served on a truck. Well the quality and textures here are 5 stars. My friends and I ordered the Tacos de Camaron, Poseidon and Mixta. The octopus and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Not too chewy and the combination of citrus with their house made salsa were perfect. Between the 4 of us this was plenty of food. Prices are reasonable and portions are great. Wait times can be long, but well worth it. Theres a big parking lot across the street and plenty of street parking around the corner. I would recommend eating right away as the food can get soggy.“

“If you like Mexican seafood, you will love Mariscos Linda. Even though it's a food truck, this location has an indoor facility to enjoy your meal right in front of the truck. I had the small fish taco and the agua chile tostada. The taco was really good and the agua chile was about a 9 spicy, juat the way I like it. Loved it and will definitely be back.“

“I finally stop by today after seeing all the foodies post about this food truck. I ordered the chicken/asada half nachos/fries with and the sumo burrito.. the nachos are delicious. All sorts of delicious flavors. Meat was perfectly seasoned and so tender. So yummy and flavorful ., big portion. The red and green salsa are perfect. Shared the nachos and didn't get to try the burrito because the nachos were enough for two people. I'll be having the burrito tomorrow.. ;) Will definitely be back. So close to home. Must try. Worth a drive.“

“the people that work there are very polite and I love there sopes my favorite but in all honesty I give them 100%. ....thank you“

“Excelente servicio y comida de calidad ☑️“

“Amazingly delicious., not dry. Serve a good portion of berria no matter what you order. Offer free cup of consome while supply lasts. PRICES are lower than most. So worth it for the amount of birria you are served. Don't miss taco Tuesday tacos are $1.50“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“The seafood here is so fresh! The service was great also. We were constantly checked on to ask if we needed anything. We were so happy to find this gem after a long night of drinking. We will definitely take the long drive here to eat again.“

“Finally stopped by this food truck after walking and driving by it for a year or so and I'm glad I did. I'm just sad it took me so long. I had the asada and pollo tacos and they are very yummy. (still eating them as I write this. Lol) I also appreciate the little bag of veggies and the potato they gave me. Not sure if thats usually included, but it was a nice surprise. And the prices are more than fair. Also they two gentlemen working seem really nice. I'm sure I'll be back.“
