“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!“
“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“
“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 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“
“Found this random food truck driving home … looked like a genuine Italian family making these pizzas . They were very nice ! There were people in line before us and after too so it seems pretty popular!! They made the pizza really quickly - made to order ! We ordered the pesto and the margerita pizza . It was a good portion . Fresh and looked pretty ! The flavors were good - it was a nice simple pizza“
“This is an amazing coffee shop. Their coffee is amazing the pastries are as well I usually get Spanish iced latte with the almond croissant. Also and iced Coquito con crema is another favorite and an iced Abuelita latte highly recommend . Their customer service is wonderful . We usually do drive-through, but there’s times where it’s nice to get off and enjoy it there. Such a great spot for a caffeine pick me up ?“
“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.“
“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.“
“I saw that this spot had great reviews so I decided to stop by.Customer service was excellent and very kind when I entered. I just ordered a classic Philly cheesesteak with fries. The cheese steak was good & the fries were descent.The flavor was ok, just wish their sauce for the Philly cheesesteak was on the bun or on the meat. They’re in little mini containers. The fries were crispy but not too seasoned and they only have packeted ketchup too. Overall it was a descent lunch.I’d definitely come back to this spot again to try their other menu items.“
“Best churros of all, borderline Whittier and La HabraEven as being hot out of the deep fryer and burning myself off every bit , their churros are on pointHow they make them !!!!!!Recommend them if you’re around the La Habra and Whittier area or any neighboring city near by“
“Top smash burger spot in San Gabriel valley, Mikey is super cool and the burgers are amazing. Be sure to get the double smash burger as it has a lot more taste than a single! His special sauce is so good as well!Parking: Parking at Nogales high school a lot of parking“
“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“
“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.“
“4++ this taco truck came up on my search when I was looking for good tacos in the area. The person I ordered from was friendly. The truck seems to be a super popular spot in the area. I got my usual when going to a new truck / taqueria, etc. - a mulita and some tacos. In this case, I got a carne asada mulita (very large) and three tacos - Al pastor, cabeza, and a pescado. I thought every thing I ordered was tasty and well done with my favorite prob being the Al pastor taco and the mulita. I like that they give you pretty much everything you need in the form of small cups and baggies. I came on the later side on a Friday evening. Just got out of the gym and was leaving the area and I was hungry. So I sat in one of the provided stools and used another stool to dress up my stuff. It wasn't as busy as I was expecting on a Friday night but maybe I beat the late night rush. It was kind of a dark area and not a lot of foot traffic so parking was really easy to find.“
“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.“
“I had the taco pastor with like a cheesy taco shell onion, cilantro, the works. It was absolutely the best taco I have ever had in my life. They were $3.00 each and worth every single coin. I was off my diet for one day and wanted tacos. Now I am thinking to extend my day off to two days. I bought three tacos and they were so meaty. And the owner was super kind and soft spoken. It is 5am and I wish I had of purchased 10 tacos. They were just that good.“
“Excelente lugar cash only …the Friday ,Saturday and Sunday only after 6pm it’s a taco truckMy favorite the birria tacos, aslo: tripa,asada,chicken,chorizo,pastor they have 3 salsas but the birria one is superb for those who likes the spicy ones .. advice the parking is an issue so if you go with a friend go get your order meanwhile your friend gets a parking spot“
“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.“
“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.“
“Very good place located on street I'm front of Nogales high-school in West Covina, CA. They offer delicious comfort desserts like; Fried plantains Churros. You can dress them up with caramel chocolate and condensed milk. Delicious a must try! Man is very nice and service is fast. Not a lot of sitting since it's a lunch truck but we enjoy in the car or wait to we get home but it's hard cuz it smells so good and taste good. Try it. What do you have to loose?“
“I must say, I dont eat birria tacos that much, but this was fantastic. Came here on a Saturday night and there was a line. If theres a line, you have to assume that its pretty decent. Since we were out in the area, we really wanted Chinese food, but this place just kept on calling our name. We got the tacos with cheese and the consume on the side. The tacos were so juicy and flavorful an the cheese was just oozing out of the tacos. The consume was salty and almost like a beef broth. 3 tacos were definitely a decent amount since we also ordered other food from a different restaurant. Like all food trucks, there is no where to sit unless its the sidewalk. They also have a variety of other options like burritos, tortas, and quesadillas if tacos arent your thing. Staff was friendly and everything was made hot and quick. It was so hot that my food was still steaming. Would definitely come back again!“
“La experiencia en Mariscos El Zurdo se ve complementada por una ambientación encantadora que te transporta a un auténtico pueblo mexicano. La atmósfera del lugar añade un toque especial a la comida, haciéndote sentir como si estuvieras disfrutando de estos exquisitos platillos en el corazón de México. Desde la decoración hasta la cocineras, todo contribuye a crear una experiencia única que va más allá de simplemente saborear la deliciosa cocina. Sin duda, un lugar donde la autenticidad se fusiona con la excelencia culinaria. ¡Altamente recomendado para aquellos que buscan no solo una comida excepcional, sino también una experiencia que despierte los sentidos!“
“The beef ribs and the carne asada tacos are amazing. The tortillas are fresh and the meat is well seasoned. They grill everything right in front of you, and the smell is amazing. Well worth the price for the amount of amazing food you get. The people are also super friendly and will give you recommendations if you’re stuck on what to pick. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for street tacos.Parking: Be kind and park out of the way of flowing traffic. People pile up on the merging lane to Washington. Find a safe place to park and walk.“

“The tacos with queso and nachos were the best. The vampiros and the mulitas were okay. I like that they serve "La Dichosa" with a large cup of consome and 3 different salsas as seen in the picture. The service was really good and I love the little decorations they have. I will definitely be coming back. They also have free coffee“
“I highly recommend. This is a great taco business. It is located on a corner and there is a several parking spaces belonging to the building they're parked in front of, very convenient. There is no seating area but they have a self serve table full of salsas and toppings to prep as you need. The lady taking the order is very friendly, very patient, that is very important to me. The tacos are small in size but the amount of meat inside the taco is decent. I recommend the buche, suadero, lengua and they used to have tripa but i was told it was not selling as much so they took it off the menu unfortunately. I've had their nachos and they fry their own tortilla chips and it's very delicious. This is definitely my new taco spot.“
“I've frequented Zero Gravitea many many times because I love their food and concept! One of my favorite items to order is their Crispy Chicken. Super crispy, crunchy, and delicious flavor. You also have the option of adding in onion and basil if you wanted. I've also tried out the Fried Tofu, Chicken Gizzards, and Chicken Soft Knee Bones. They're all such a delight! I also recommend ordering the Yakult Green Tea (50% sweet), which is my go-to drink. So good! They are located right outside San Gabriel Superstore on San Gabriel Blvd. They also run some promotions every now and then, so it's best to often check their Instagram (@zero_gravitea_tw) for updates.“
“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.“
“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!“
“First time at Rodney's. Tried the Brisket Sandwich. The brisket was perfectly cooked, nicely smokey and tender.I didn't like his style of BBQ sauce. It was too sweet for me. I may buy some brisket by the pound to make my own sandwich. Rodney is super friendly and really seems to care about getting it right. Professional.“
“It's not affordable but worth the price. The Deluxe combo set is the best option to start. You'll be able to taste almost all the options on the menu. It is enough to fill up a regular person, but it's too good to stop there. The orchata was nice, and the flan desert was amazing, creamy, and sweet enough to cleanse your palate if the taste of the birria plus onions and cilantro bother you after. This was my first time trying this chain and location, and I will say I recommend it, and I'm coming back.“
“(Translated by Google) Very tasty food, especially the minced ones, they are delicious I always order them with roasted meat, even if it costs you extra .. the Cemitas are also very good the Milanese and the leg ones ... I have been coming to this lunchroom for years and only on two occasions huh Disillusioned, the first time I ordered the minced meat with meat which by the way are normally without meat and they forgot to put the meat on it but I called and they told me to come back for free ones, but I never asked for them and well the second time was when in the middle of the pandemic the cook was not wearing a mask and my husband kindly told him to put it on, he replied "if you like it well and if not I'll return your money" it was a Thursday that by the way on Thursdays and Sundays I think other people change. Take turns the lunch box but the food is still not good on those days and they are like very rude and despotic ... but anyway, the other days excellent Mexican street food ♥ ️(Original)Comida muy rica en especial las picaditas, están deliciosas siempre las pido con carne asada, aunque te cueste extra.. las Cemitas también son muy buenas las de milanesa y las de pierna… tengo años viniendo a esta lonchería y solo en dos ocasiones me eh desilusionado, la primera vez ordené las picaditas con carne que por cierto normalmente son sin carne y pues se les olvidó ponerle la carne pero llame y me dijeron que regresara por unas gratis, pero nunca las pedí y bueno la segunda vez fue cuando en plena pandemia el cocinero no estaba usando tapabocas y mi esposo amablemente le dijo que se lo pusiera, el respondió “si te gusta bien y sino te regreso tu dinero” fue un jueves que por cierto los jueves y domingos creo cambian a otras personas no se si se turnen la lonchera pero la comida igual no está buena en esos días y son como muy groseros y despotas… pero en fin los demás días excelente comida mexicana callejera ♥️“
“Saw them set up out here in San Dimas at Burning Bridge Brewery in mid-Oct of '23. Friendly people serving up good food and reasonable prices to boot. Plus they even gave my Good Dog ? some samples of their xlnt Carne Asada and Chicken. Gonna try myself one of their Burritos ?.“

“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.“
“The churros were delicious and mine were made fresh to order. They came out fresh and hot and had the perfect amount of sugar and cinnamon. I got lechera which condensed milk drizzled on top and strawberry glaze on top. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area and looking for churros.“
“Such a cool thing to have in this area! Huge variety of eating options from noodle shops, samosas, fried chicken, Hawaiian shaved ice and many more! Tons of shops with all sorts of random goodies. It can be crazy crowded at nights so plan accordingly“
“All the tacos here are very decent, in spite of not having torillas a la mano. The Suadero tacos are straight FIRE!! They have three different sauces to choose from and offer grilled onions, which is a plus. The service is good, and the cooks are on their game, serving those orders out fast.“
“The food is so delicious. We had the arrachera in tacos, a burrito, and on the potato plate and every bit of it was amazing. The tortillas (both corn and flour) were hand made and fresh. On top of that the the salsas offered were sooooo good. We will definitely return for the food, and customer service. FYI, they are cash and Zelle only. No cards.“

“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!“
“Before our friends left the country, they gifted us with the beautiful taco knowledge that is this truck. Thanks Ian and Des! We're huge fans of taco trucks in general and this tops our list. There is another more popular one in the area but we feel this one beats it for sure. Prices are reasonable and the Tripa (request extra crispy) is delicious and is our favorite. Carne Asada is our second favorite along with Carnitas. When you ask for everything it may or may not come with these yumm grilled onions if they have it available. More likely they'll have it about an hour into their opening as we've gone super late at night as well as right when they opened. The Red sauce is no joke and we've learned to avoid it and use the green sauces to save our tongues. This is just one of those places that we could eat weekly for sure. Yum!“
“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)“
“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!“
“All I can say is you would be a fool not to love it!!!!! Quality of food top notch staff , top notch fernando and his wife incredibly loving and giving to the community!!!!! I would recommend this taco truck against any taco truck in los angeles It's that good!!!!!! No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed. It's that good and the quality is consistent!!!!!!“
“Left satisfied and full ? I shared an asada burrito (classic style, salsa is a bit spicy) and four tacos with someone.They have awesome avocado salsa and I liked that they serve the tacos with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeño. The lemons are fresh and full of juice. The salsas are very standard type salsas but good.“
“My partner and I continuously pick up dinner here. We have tried just about everything: wet burrito, torta, tacos, quesobirria tacos, chicken quesadilla, hot dog, even the champurrado! Alllll of it is delicious and always HITS. The owners know us pretty well by now and are always so sweet to everyone. 10/10“

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.

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.

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.“
