“The fish tacos are very good. The shrimp cocktail is good but sometimes the shrimp is very chewy which means it is older from the freezer.However, lol in order to work there the girls must wear jeans 1-2 sizes too small lol. Must wear very tight jeans “

“Just finished eating here. Everything was DELICIOUS. Everyone is so welcoming, and make sure you're well taken care of. ? The food was beyond my expectations. As a Mexican and home cook, this place exceeded my expectations, and my taste buds were beyond happy. The spicy sauce actually had a great kick ?. The menu is simple, but it doesn't need anything else. The Aguas frescas had just the right amount of sweetness. They were actually refreshing, I only wish some ice was added. The presentation of the food was BEAUTIFUL. The chef definitely takes pride in the food served, and the attention to detail is evident . I'm so glad we live so close. Will definitely continue to come to this hidden gem. Thank you for such a pleasant experience. I can't wait to try the rest of the dishes here.“

“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“

“Quick and fast taco stands. Now they support the credit card payment. Eric is welcoming and serves the neighborhood very well until the midnight. The protein of stewed pork and the al pastor is nice while I hope they could use corn tortillas instead of the flour ones.“

“I grew up in Arcadia so I was raised going to Taco Treat. This place must be doing something right, as it is probably the longest surviving business and most all of the area, or at least that I know of and I am 67 years old. Great burgers, love their corn dogs and fried burritos. Always good food“

“Bomb bomb bomb ass tacos! So happy we decided to try this place. We ordered a couple fish tacos, a couple shrimp tacos, a papa taco, requeson, and bean taco with an horchata and nothing disappointed. The sauce and the yellow chiles were the cherry on top. I'm glad this place is just a delivery away.“

“Without a doubt the best lunch truck in Cali!! Being a truck driver who has been coming to Cali for 30 years and have visted lunch trucks thru out the state makes me an authority on the subject. So you can believe me when I say they're the best. I've eaten here for over a decade and have never been disappointed once. The team that operates it are also the best. Give it a try. You will definitely not go anywhere else again if you do.“

“We are visiting from Chicago and found this gem on instagram and we just had to check it out. If you love chilaquiles then this is the place to visit. From the food to the drinks and the service they really made you feel welcome and at home. I highly recommend and we will definitely be back when we come back to California.“

“All I can say is.... WOW!! Come try the food here because it is delicious and FULL of flavor. Usually you expect the same cookie cutter flavor for tacos/burritos/etc but not here. You will find true flavor and quality here. I wasn't the one to pick up our food today but they even tossed in complimentary hot chocolate with our order so I can only imagine how welcoming and friendly the service must be. Would definitely order from again, thank you!“

“This is a gem of a family run restaurant. The specialty is their house-made birria, served in a wide range of dishes. We've tried the quesa birria, the torta de birria, and the amazing birria ramen.The ramen was what drew us to this charming place, and is what keeps us coming back.They have a generous parking lot at the side of the building. They are also wheelchair and mobility scooter accessible.“

“This was a pit stop on the way to the Bay Area from Palm Springs. I’m a veggie and so it was great to see good choices of tacos - potato, cauliflower and brusel sprout here. They were all delicious and of the highest quality but the brussels were a standout. Definitely worth a detour off the freeway!! Service was also the best.“

“I love to come to this taco stand; the service is always prompt and the owners are very kind. The food is absolutely incredible and they usually have an Agua Fresca (horchata most of the time) and it's always delicious as well. They accept cash or zelle!“

“We recommend this place 10000%We live in San Diego, California and we came to Los Angeles to vacation and we were looking for a seafood place and we found this restaurant, which honestly did not disappoint. The service is very excellent from the moment you enter until you leave, everything is very good. The customer service and first impression was phenomenal. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, had very good knowledge of the menu and was very kind to us. The lemonade that my niece ordered is very good and refreshing natural. The seafood we ordered tasted super fresh. The Dynamite roll was my favorite as well as the red aguachile. We were fascinated by everything and this is definitely going to be the first place we come to eat every time we visit Los Angeles!“

“Whenever we need some tacos, Tony's Tacos is the first place I recommend! In the morning, I love lose myself in their large chilaquiles plate with meat, eggs, and Green Salsa! An absolute go to for me.Almost all the food is fantastic. My boyfriend and I love the Pastor meat in the tacos and the quesadillas.Location does not offer dine-in!“

“I can’t say enough nice things about Teddy and Teddy’s. The food is deliciously fresh and bursts with flavor. Teddy always remembers our daughter when she visits from Boston and welcomes her. Go. You’ll be so happy you did. And do get a red mulita.“

“These guys make some of the best tacos in town . I tried the Volcan taco that is delicious their quesadillas . Tacos in general their delicious I highly recommended to all my friends and family already . Also the guys there are very great with people . Their good“

“La verdad la comida estaba muy rica! Disfrutamos mucho de los burritos de carnitas. Este establecimiento queda recomendado! Los precios también son muy razonables! Todo está limpio por dentro y lo atienden a uno con mucho cariño! ****** Delicious pork burritos here. We enjoyed the food and the restaurant was clean. The staff was very welcoming and I am for sure returning on my next day off to try another burrito.“

“We've dined here many times and of course, I already knew this restaurant was a five-star restaurant because the food has been fresh and made to order and always came out great and tasty; but today, my five stars goes to John and his team for such excellent service, very accommodating and being patient with us and not rushing us, because we were their last customers to dine. They were friendly and helpful with what we needed. And I was telling John, that this evening, by far, was the best service we've ever had at this restaurant. Thank you to John and his team for offering excellent service!!“

“Food is great from here. It seems like a simple taco stand but it isn't. They are super friendly and try to go as fast as they can to go through the line. Never had a problem with problem even if it is on the street haven't found a problem. The top choices I like to choose are pastor, lengua, and asada. The lengua is different here since it doesn't have that chewiness that other places have and is super tender. The pastor is a gold char and marinate and the asada has a nice flavor from the grill. They have raw onions and some cooked ones if you ask them for it. Definitely one of my go to spots if I want some tacos.“

“High quality meats. Delicious sauces. Friendly service. Plenty of area to hang out. Of all the taco trucks I've tried in the LA area, this has to be in my top 5. The quality is top-notch. For one thing, the beef tongue was a GIGANTIC portion. A little unreal to be honest.“

“Tried the Two Fish Taco plate with rice and beans. The fish was really fresh and hot. The salsas were good. The red one is kinda hot and the green one is on the milder side. They also give you chips and salsa. The combo comes with a drink but if you want an agua fresca they charge another $1.25. I had the pineapple and it was really good. A great quality meal for a great price! I would love to try the ceviche next time.Parking: This restaurant is in a strip mall shopping complex so there is plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap parking spots and ramps to get up on the curb. Inside is kind of small and may be a little hard to maneuver if it's during one of the busier times of the day like lunch and dinner.“

“Love love love the cucadachaShrimp ....I'm sure I misspelled but all their shrimp are bomb and shrimp cocktails as well. My only complaint is Please UPDATE your online menu .....I ordered for my company and WOW we went off of the listed prices on menu on websiteDefinitely not updated , and increased by 2 to 3 dollars , I understand things are going up but then I as a customer should be able to count on the business to keep me updated on NEW PRICES , because your food is delicious ? people will still pay but kinda unfair to have that surprise when u get the final bill and it's 50 bucks more then calculated from online prices .Just a friendly suggestion, I love to refer people . Also small tacos not worth the price at all“

“What an unexpected delightful surprise! So glad my better half and I came here for dinner. Went to Dollar Tree to pick up some holiday decorations for work. All that browsing through Dollar Tree made us hungry. So pretty much our decisions as we exited the Dollar Tree parking lot were El Pollo Loco, Taco Bell or this place, Birria Masters. We decided we wanted to try something new and went with Birria Masters. We are so glad that we did. So here's the rundown: For ambiance, it's a food stand in a parking lot. Unpretentious, simple tables and benches. Does its job. Don't let it's appearance deter you from going. For service, there were three gentlemen. All were nice and inviting. Excellent customer service. We ordered the enchiladas queretanas and taquitos dorados. Food presentation and taste was unexpected. Both dishes were beautiful. What got me with the dishes is that they were elevated but in an understated way. They used microgreen sprouts. I love sprouts and if a place uses them in their plating, in my opinion, they are fancy fancy and they know what they are doing. The taste of both dishes were delicious as well. The meat was seasoned and cooked well. The produce they use was fresh and again, they used microgreen sprouts. I don't know any other food/taco stand that uses microgreen sprouts...do you? I don't think so. I think that if you are deciding on a place to go and have dinner, please give Birria Masters a try. I hope that when you try their food you will be pleasantly surprised as we were. Birria Masters is definitely a diamond in the rough.“

“The birria taco tastes like love and passion even without the salsa. Also enjoyed the freshly made salsas with the chips. My friend enjoyed the chicharron verde taco. Thank you. Can't wait to come again. Would recommend.Kid-friendliness: Others dined in with their kids.“

“First time here and we absolutely loved it. The food is very authentic and it feels like I’m at someone’s home eating home cooked food. My 18 month old daughter really liked the quesadilla with birria using a handmade flour tortilla. My husband ordered the torta ahogada and tacos de barbacoa estilo Guadalajara. I ordered two tacos de Carnitas and it was very delicious! The potato filling is soft and plenty. The carnitas are also very flavorful and filling.You can count on us coming back next time we’re in town.“

“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.“

“I always come here for their Specialty Taco trio !I really love their chicharrón, pork belly & chicken tacos. Always tender & flavorful and the salsa verde is my go to. Service is brief and your food comes out pretty fast as well.Overall, i always enjoy spending time at the Blvd Market! It's a chill spot to be during weekdays and busier on the weekends.“

“Rambo's Tacos in West Covina, CA holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite taco spots from my childhood. This small establishment offers a variety of delicious tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more at reasonable prices. However, it's worth mentioning that the owner can be a bit stingy with the salsa, so keep that in mind when ordering. Despite that, the quality of the food speaks for itself and I always leave satisfied. If you're in the area, don't miss out on the tasty treats at Rambo's Tacos!“

“I would rate this restaurant 10/10 , from the great service , yummy hot coffee , BOMB carne su jugo !! This place is it ! I've gone to a few other local restaurants but this place by far is my new favorite! My husband got the Birria with consome and 2 huevos , delicious! Thank you guys we will be returning:)“

“Phenomenal food and amazing service!! Ivan was so kind and generous and he made our first time there a really great one. They don't skimp on the meat and the consome is the best! The birria burrito was my favorite and we'll definitely be back for more!“

“Been going here since I was with my first partner in my 20’s, long ago! It’s so renown, there’s an entire Facebook group for this place!!! Quick, great value, fresh, and straight forward, avoid peak hours may only caveat: they might be extra crowded!! I/we go out of our way to pick up from here. Living back in San Diego now, that’s not often as when I/we were living in the San Gabriel Valley…. In fact, there’s a Burrito Jumbo from our visit yesterday that’s calling my name in our fridge right now… ???“

“Stumbled across this place on my way home. It has good amount of parking and a lot of seating outside to enjoy your food. I had an al pastor burrito and a asada burrito and both were fantastic! Most definitely coming back as the service was very good and the menu was diverse.“

“Favorite taco spot, tried many other ones but you can tell they care about the quality of food they serve. They just close earlier than what their hours say so sometimes it's unconvienant. But I guess I could've called before going.“

“I LOVE EL TACO MAN!!! The food is to live for ! It’s delicious!!!! El Taco Man in El Monte is a culinary treasure that deserves every bit of praise it receives. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of authentic Mexican flavors and friendly hospitality. The tostadas, in particular, are an absolute must-try, with their perfect balance of textures and exquisite taste. But don't stop there—explore the entire menu and savor a wide array of mouthwatering dishes. El Taco Man is a true delight for the senses and an experience that will leave you craving more. ?? I will forever eat there ! Yum yum yummy for your tummy“

“I hardly ever consider to even write a review but I knew this place deserved it because of the delicious tacos they served. I got 3 tacos one of each meat they offered, asada, pastor, and pollo. Super tasty, well seasoned, and the best part is you definitely get your money's worth of meat. The taco was loaded with the meat and I was basically full from the 3 tacos. The taco tortilla was a little too soft and soggy for my taste, I prefer a crispier and dryer (not super dry) taco shell. Give the tacos a try!“

“# 77 review for 2024**Taco Los Morales: Bursting with Flavor!** 4 stars****Service 4 Stars****Ambiance 3 Stars**Food 5 Stars***** If you're on the hunt for authentic Mexican tacos that pack a flavorful punch, Taco Los Morales is an absolute gem! This taco truck isn't just a spot; it's an experience. From their pastor to Lengua, Cabeza, Suadero, and Buche tacos, each bite is a flavor explosion that's hard to forget. The seasoning is spot-on, elevating every taco to pure delight.Let's talk about those salsas--red and green, both exceptional! They're not just toppings; they're a knockout of taste that elevates the entire taco experience. And don't even get me started on their Aguas frescas! Horchata, Jamaica, and Piña--each one a refreshing delight.Taco Los Morales has effortlessly secured its place as one of my top go-to spots for delicious, authentic tacos. If you're craving a taste sensation, this truck is a must-visit!“

“Teddy's Taco was really good! My co-worker recommended the Jalapeno taco. So, I ordered one Jalapeno taco, one carne asada street taco, and one barbacoa street taco. All three were good but that blank taco was REALLY GOOD! It has a whole grilled jalapeno, creamy avocado sauce and marinated raisins in the meat. Now, I know what you're thinking but the little hint of sweetness the raisins add just takes this taco over the top and differentiates it from any other taco I've ever had. I wish I had gotten three of those instead of just one but since it was my first time I wanted to try a couple of different things. Next time I go to Teddy's Tacos I will be getting three of those. Delicioso! ???Now, I also tried the Cucumber Margarita and that was pretty good too. They put chamoy and tajin around the rim of the glass, as you can see in the picture. The lady that took my order said that it's a wine based margarita instead of tequila, which is interesting but also makes it not so strong since I had to go back to work. If you're in the area give Teddy's Tacos a try! ?✌?“

“Solid spot for authentic Mexican food. I've been a few times now and the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The inside is clean and inviting. They have all of the traditional Mexican plates and drinks so it can be hard to make a selection, but this time we had the carne asada sopa, barbacoa plate, and a side of chips and gucamole. I am a huge fan of robust flavored sauces and this barbacoa did not disappoint! As I was leaving I also spotted a tray of chile rellenos that I wish I had room for, but I will for sure order next time.“

“Impressed. We decided to try this spot out which is right off of Peck. We were super impressed with the quality of the meat and the tortillas. They specialize in tacos al vapor. They offer an array of meat like lengua and asada. Plenty of seating inside, and they also offer drive-through takeout. Clean and friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“Taco truck's still here after all these years. So glad they open late. Quick and convenient. They have interesting meat options. Cash only. But they now take Zelle. Pricing went up just a little to $1.75 (used to be $1.25) These are still my favorites: Cabeza (Head) Tripa (intestines) Lengua (tongue)“

“First time visiting. I ordered the Carne asada burrito. The lady taking my order was very polite. The burrito was excellent. Liked that the sauce and onions and cilantro were packaged. Beans and sliced jalapeños were available. Restaurant was very clean.“

“I usually go to a taco truck nearby but since they were unexpectedly closed, we found Alma's and went there instead. They prefer cash but I think they take Zelle! I got a flour quesadilla and it was meaty and cheesy just how I like my quesadillas! It also comes with a side of veggies and beans. My sister got a potato taco which I had a bite of and that was unique and delicious also!“

“Been going here almost 9 years, the food is INCREDIBLE, the service is efficient and friendly, their tacos are AMAZING!!!! I highly reccomend their Al Pastor!!!!! Their burritos are top notch too!!!! And don't forget to try their green AND red sauce you won't regret it!!! If you're looking for a taco Tuesday spot, YOU JUST FOUND IT!!!! 10 out of 5 stars.“

“Our favorite food truck! The food is excellent - I especially love the lengua burrito and pastor tacos. Everyone is always so friendly and service is quick, even when there's a crowd. I'm so glad they're close to home and open late (usually). If you're in the neighborhood (Nogales and La Puente - by the KFC), check it out!“

“This evening we made plans with family for dinner and they found this gem in Glendora, service was top notch and the food was good as well. We started off with the queso fundido, and guacamole, both solid, my wife had the shrimp tacos and I had the chicken fajitas which were perfect, we sat outside and with the heat lamps it kept us toast but not to hot, if your in Glendora, give them a try.“

“We were looking for a late night snack, and this place hit the spot! I ordered the pastor and cabeza tacos for to go with no cilantro, onions only. My two tacos were wrapped and kept warm in a foil package.When I got back, I realized they gave me chorizo and buche, and a lot of cilantro. I removed the cilantro, not a big deal. The chorizo, at least I think it was chorizo, wasn't too dry and it was flavorful. There were also chunks of fat (?) in it. The buche was salty...and tasted like buche. I liked their salsas and felt it complemented the meats well.Unfortunately I didn't get either of the meats I wanted to try. At $2.50 per taco, I guess I'll just have to go back to order them again.“

“Excellent Birria. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and savory. ECP's Birria is an outstanding example of the Los Angeles Birria scene. The service at this location was also excellent. The menu layout was easy and simple to understand. I ordered the Packetaso, 1 # of Birria, consume , and tortillas, oh yeah, just to indulge the sinner in me (glutoney) I also ordered a taco dorado , no cheese, it was a good taco, genrous meat portion, double tortilla, and garnished with pickled red onion, and a lime wedge. Wow! Im getting hungry again just writing this even though I just ate. Thank you Rolondo for the wonderful service and savory meal.“

“I recently dined at a Rutts and it was a delightful experience. The friendly staff added to the overall positive atmosphere. The menu featured a variety of Hawaiian dishes. I highly recommend trying their Hawaiian Royals and Short Rib Tacos. The portions were generous, and the presentation was visually appealing. Overall, a great spot for those craving something delicious.“
