Very good pastor tacos and more. The service is great!. We wanted suadero but i guess is so good because it was already gone

Parked by the Ralphs parking lot. It can be good but sometimes too oily. I got cabeza, asada, tripas. On this visit the tripas tasted like over fried crumbs. Asada was okay. Cabeza was tender but could use seasoning. I got the grilled onions and a serrano upon request.

Worker was super friendly. Food was delicious, my girlfriend and I have tried about 4 other taco trucks in the area and we both agree this spot has our new favorite asada taco. The meat was flavorful and had plenty of meat and all for a good price. We also tried the birria ramen for the first time and it was good as well, there was so much meat in it I was shocked. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience and we will be coming back.

Honestly average. This is my third favorite taco spot in the area. That's only because I've gone to 3 enough to formulate an opinion. IDK but the way the wrap the tacos in plastic on a styrofoam tray.

The cashier here (chubby bald guy) is rude! He acts like he’s doing you a favor by taking your order. No hospitality at all. Not just on one occasion but regularly. I brought my sister once, and he kept staring at her like a weirdo. Besides the bad customer service, the food is meh. Often times it is very greasy, overcooked, and sometimes burnt. I tried so many times to give this place a chance but it is just not a good place to eat anymore.This place used to be great! When the owner Arandino was present. Their original food truck on Valley/San Gabriel was top notch! This truck used to have great food, quick turnaround, and friendly service- when it first came onto the scene as one of the only taco trucks in Monterey Park. But since then, quality has gone down dramatically. It’s only convenient because it’s close by, and there isn’t many other late night taco options nearby. I won’t be patronizing this place anymore, and do not recommend it.

Mario is the best host! The food is much better than expected. Tacos, quesa tacos and mulitas are the best in town. I also have horchata, makes me feel like In Mexico. Congratulations to Mario

Pastor was too salty. Burrito taste was disappointing. Service was just okay. They seemed annoyed when I asked questions.

One of the worst tacos I've ever had. Got 7 carne asada tacos and a mulita for me and my partner and the food was disgusting. The meat had no flavor. First time ever that that's happened to me. Took a few bites and just couldn't eat it anymore. The mulita sucked too. The meat was the worst part. After a few bites, me and my partner threw the food away and essentially threw our money away. This was worst than king taco and I stopped going there 10 years ago after getting food poisoning. Ooof!Never going again!
Yummy birria and cabesa tacos. The al pastor here is good too

What's for dessert after eating beef stew & tendon soup w/ handmade noodles at Mandarin Noodle House? Tacos!Located on busy Atlantic Blvd., in front of GW Supermarket, Arandino's Tacos El Patron whips up tacos & other delights for poquito dinero. Besides the usual & ordinary protein choices, Arandino's has the offal I awfully want - tripas, lengua & cabeza! Plus, tacos are only $2!Steaming hot & packed with meat, the tacos were a steal for $2. My favorite being lengua, I managed to make room for the taco trio after having dinner, just prior. One minor complaint was the lack of accompanying sauce (red or green). I asked for "todo" (everything included), so I found it odd the tacos were sans sauce. Perhaps sauce is extra?Service was good. I paid cash & had my taco trio in no time. The truck does move locations, depending upon the lack of business. But, I believe this is where they start their afternoon.Tacos, $2. What other selling points do you need? I absolutely devoured my tacos of "nasty" bits. The meat was tender, and satisfying to the palate. I'd stop by multiple times a week, if I lived in the area. Cheap eats, luxurious favor. Get you some!

I came here last night and ordered 5 tacos which have gone up in price and are tiny, by the way. When I got home and started to eat I noticed something in my mouth and it was a long thick hair. It was in my taco and now in my mouth in between my teeth. Disgusting. I put it aside and ate another taco. Another hair. I take a bite out of another taco and low and behold, another freaking hair. At this point I'm livid and go back to ask for a refund for the three tacos. As of right now, two tacos are unopened. The guy says no one that works there has long hair but they do not cook anything in the truck as everything is on a warmer. Don't come here unless you want food poisoning or strangers' DNA in your body.
