Amazing service, most delicious tacos I've had. Food is top tier! Also had the best nachos!

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.

When dinner is late and everything is closed, we like to come out here. My favorite is the al pastor tacos. They're very flavorful and point on with their meat and toppings; cilantro, onion, and hot or mild sauce. And they give you radish slices and lemon slice. My daughter likes both the asada and al pastor. We got both the piña and horchata for our drinks. Both are good, as well. On Tuesdays, they have the avocado sauce. They have great service and everyone's friendly. Most people just stand around eating or eat in their cars. It's a quick delicious taco fix!! Thank you Los California Taco team for being here!!

I've been going to this same taco truck for over 25 years, the name has changed once over the years but the people, truck and flavors remained the same. These tacos have been "turn to" after a game night in highschool when I was a teen, a night at the clubs & bars in Old Town when I was dating and now with my wife and kids. I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE.

Great street tacos. Make sure you bring cash and spend time looking for Street parking. There's always a line of people here.

Maaaan, Screw this place! I went here the other day, about 13 minutes before they closed, and they wouldn't serve me! But guess what, they served the 3 girls that were in front of me there food. All I wanted was 5 tacos to take home and as I waited by the window because I was next up, I had to say something to get the guys attention. He looked down at me and said "No more orders, we're closed". I was Hot!!?

Ya'll must not know what a good taco should taste like. Go get a few at El Jarocho on Colorado, then tell me if you still think Los California are the best in town.

This is my all-time favorite taco truck. I used to get it every weekend, but I sadly moved to the OC and don't get back home often. Luckily, I was able to drive into town for my brother's birthday and we decided on birthday tacos from our favorite truck. We both had chicharrón tacos, which have always been our go-to order. It did not disappoint, it was as tasty as I remember. The line gets long but the employees are super efficient and it never takes long to get through the crowd. I recommend this to anyone who wants flavorful and generously proportioned tacos. And they serve nachos now too! I couldn't get enough! Worth the 45 minute drive!!!
