    Cheo's taco truck. Legit tacos.
    Lizzie L.

    For the past 30 years Cheo's Tacos has been more than just a taco truck. They are a cornerstone of our community and a place where food truly nourishes both the body and the soul. The food speaks for itself. From juicy asada to tender lengua, from tacos to tortas and quesadillas, every bite carries centuries of flavor and our shared heritage. Their salsas are bold, vibrant, and full of personality, with something for every taste and heat level. Cheo's proves that food can bring people together and keep our culture alive. Thank you for continuing to serve tacos with the same love and pride your dad passed down. Every visit is a reminder of what makes this family business so special. Seeing multiple generations working together shows the power of tradition, resilience, and community.

    If you grew up in El Sereno, you already know about Cheo's Tacos, and if you don't, you're seriously missing out. I've been coming here since I was young, and this spot has NEVER disappointed. Late night dinners here just hit different. Whether you're craving tacos, burritos, or anything on the menu, everything is consistently good, fresh, and packed with flavor. My personal favorites are the asada and tripa tacos perfectly cooked every time. The asada is juicy and flavorful, and the tripa has that perfect crisp that taco lovers look for. And the salsas? Absolute fire. They take everything to another level. What I love most is that every time I leave, I'm fully satisfied. It's one of those places you keep coming back to because the quality stays solid no matter what. Hands down the best taco spot in El Sereno. If you're nearby and haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and pull up. You'll understand why locals stay loyal to this place for years.

    It's alright with the guacasalsa on the asada. Put it on the pastor tho

    I know people are gonna hate me when I say this but I like cost and flavor. Just get the mulitas. Tacos are good but the mulitas is where it's at. I get my tacos either west or south from here cuz the real ones know where it's at. The cheese goes well with their proteins here but kinda boring on just store-bought tortillas. They always run out of tripas, cabeza, and lengua...just take it off the menu or even a better idea, have more lol. You're not missing out much tho, maybe just the cabeza. Asada: it's good for a taco truck. Good amount of meat and flavor. The texture is alright, it's just brown and lean. They don't let the flat top sizzle it enough imo, it's like they're rushed or piled on a lot of meat at once. Why does everything else have a better sear? Good with both rojo and verde, but the guacasalsa is too bright and takes away the asada flavor. Do whatever you want, just eat. Pastor: good sear from the grill top even tho we all love the flamethrower sound. Some people don't like how sweet their marinade is but I think it's quite good. The sugar breaks down enough to impart a nice flavor with their spices. Juicy and meaty, add a bit of salt and grilled onion, you're good to go. Cabeza: really fine and chopped up, pretty tasty and goes well with all their salsa, especially with a bite of jalapeno. I like the mushiness and flavor here. Lengua: almost tastes like their cabeza also looks nearly the same. They chop it up fine unlike other places. I haven't eaten this enough to say much because they're always out.... Tripas: it's alright. I like gamey in a good way but this is chewy, with an untreated gamey taste. I always try it to see if it's better another time but just ends up the same. Can they cook it in the oil vat more and also crisp it up too?

    As a resident of El Sereno, finally decided to gice this place a try. Very friendly staff. They use corn tortillas for their tacos. It is OK, has so much potential, but meat was a little bland. Best way to put it. Other than that, still is good enough. Their sauce is a game-changer, as long as you drench the tacos in the sauce, there will be no issue. Must add the sauce.

    Carne asada tacos, grilled onions and jalapeño, guacamole, onions/cilantro, and green/red sauce
    Vickie V.

    Let's start off with how I found this place. I was looking for Los Dorados because my car's gps led me to this truck. Asked the staff where the flautas place was and they directed me accordingly. On the way back I stopped by to tell them their tacos had been recommended by another customer at the flautas place and that I would be back. They just stared at me without saying anything. I figured they must not speak English so I repeated myself in Spanish. Still no response. I finally asked if they understood and I finally got a response. So yeah, I get the reviews posted re the not so stellar customer service. My rating is strictly for the food but I do agree the staff could learn to improve their social skills with customers. Now for the more important part - the food! I got 5 asada tacos to go. They will throw in 1 red salsa, 1 green salsa, and 1 guac as well as onions/cilantro. You also get some grilled onions and a grilled jalapeño. I asked for 1 extra green salsa and 1 extra guac and they had no problem booking that up. They will also give you some baggies for radishes and lemons. I was very satisfied with my tacos. For me, the guac had enough of a kick that I didn't need the extra kick of the green sauce. I'm partial to green sauce so to me the red sauce, which was spicier, was nothing special. The guac is superior to the green sauce in my opinion. The grilled onions were also perfect, had a nice sweet flavor. Parking can easily be found on the street. There was a line but I would estimate the wait was about 10 mins after placing the order. There is also an area to eat but I took my order to go. Definitely recommend this local joint. Is it better than Ave 26? No, but it will satisfy that taco craving and you won't feel like you have to redo your taco experience because this one just did not meet your expectations. So in sum, another yummy in my tummy rating and now I don't feel like my failed attempt at a good meal last Friday was all for naught since I discovered this place.

    Has been coming to Cheo's Tacos for years don't even remember how many but a lot lol. Tacos Al Pastor are my favorite, and there guacamole salsa is the best today I try Mulita so good... Have try Tacos de Tripas, Asada, Lengua all good... People in the kitchen are so nice and welcoming. The lady at the register need to smile and show a better customer service she seem mad. Recommended it it's $1.85 per taco it's worth it

I've even touted this place to others with guster and enthusiasm. Food is fast. However, the last 2 times I've come here, I've had an issue work the service. The clerks suck. It's a teeny tiny mild racism thing. The food is prompt, and that's all the positive that I can say. I'm nit Hispanic but can speak a decent amount to get by as I've worked in restaurants for 10+ years. I was cordial and polite during this visit, especially so because I got shit on by a different customer at my own job. I make it a point not to pay that disrespect forward. Customer service is obligatory here. If they had a order kiosk like taco bell, I think my experience might have been better. There was wasn't even anyone here.

Out of the many times I've gotten food here, only once have I gotten the whole order without something being wrong or left out entirely. This happened even when I ordered in Spanish! Therefore, I have developed a system to minimize mistakes. 1. Very neatly write a list of the items on a piece of paper. 2. Hand the paper to the person taking orders. 3. Check with that person that what they entered into the computer matches the list. 4. Check every item as it comes through the pick up window. 5. Be prepared to still have to address mistakes. Again, the food is great! Just be ready to work for it if you order more than one item.

Carnitas Tacos: The warm corn tortillas contain chopped pork shoulder that has been crisped up on the flattop. The simple dressing of a pickled jalapeno and pickled carrots with cilantro allows you to focus on the flavor of the carnitas. The meat is tender, rich and juicy, while also crispy. Carnitas Mulitas Aporkalypse: If you are really hungry, a mulitas will always hit the spot. Two large tortillas are covered in cheese to form a thin, crispy, cheesy crust that extends past the edges. More gooey cheese is filled between the tortillas, along onions, cilantro, and carnitas. If you select the Aporkalypse, you are signing up for an explosion of flavor that is provided by all the meats. There is an incredible assortment of pork butt, pork belly, pork skin, and burnt ends. The spectrum of textures is unrivaled from soft and succulent to crunchy and shattering. The slow cooking respects the ingredients and offers up the fullest expression of pork flavor. Parking: This location has a large parking lot.
