    Carne Asada Plate no frijoles, extra arroz.
    Chanel C.

    Been wanting to try this place since we moved back to Gardena. It is in a plaza tucked away in the corner, which to me is always a sign of a good place to eat. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and the place smelled great. My husband and I both got carne asada. He got the burrito and I got the plate. Both delicious and generous portions. Their spicy salsa is really good. Homemade tortilla if I'm not mistaken. And, the rice is just like our abuelita made. So good. We will be back to try the tacos !

    4 stars off the top. Clean, friendly and helpful!! First time here because of several great recommendations on FB. Can't wait to dive into these Tacos and Salsa. I'll be back to tell you how they taste. Waait! Did I tell you they have homemade corn tortillas yummm.

    There's no lack of taco stands in Gardena (they're great) but it's sooooo nice to have a sit down restaurant offering great tacos, tortas, mulitas, burritos, etc in our community. Coco's Tacos is a small family-owned restaurant that makes homemade tortillas! The restaurant is small but can easily accommodate a family or party of two--my friend and I sat at a two-top easily. The service is really casual, what you want and expect from a family-owned place but you never feel ignored. Your order is taken, the food is brought out, and then you get checked on a few times but really are left alone to enjoy! I love this type of vibe from family restaurants. You get chips and salsa when you first sit down, and I'm pretty sure the chips are from their homemade tortillas, super amazing! I got a shrimp taco, a chorizo taco, and a carnitas mulita. My friend got the Alambre which comes with three tacos: asada, al pastor, and chorizo along with a side of rice and beans. I got the last of the horchata and he ordered the jamaica. Everything was so so good; flavorful, meat was tender and well seasoned, and those homemade tortillas! I can't wait to go back. Two things to know--the restaurant is in the Republic Plaza which gets pretty packed, I don't think I've ever known this parking lot to be empty. So be prepared to have to find street parking and/or wait, circle around especially on the weekends. Coco's takes debit/credit card for payments but you'll be charged for the cost and don't need to sign the receipt which means you can't add in a tip. So, bring cash for a tip!

    The ambiance can looks not so great but I can promise the food will change your perception of this restaurant. Nice service and delicious food. Handmade tortillas just give the plus

    I was in the area so it was either Yoshinoya or Coco's and I decided to go to Coco's tacos. I wind up going to Coco's tacos and I must say it was a better choice. I ordered two El Pastore and two Carne Asada tacos and I gotta tell you they were just packed with meat. The taco shells look like they were fresh everything was fresh. The food was very delicious 10 out of 10 and I definitely would go back again. I highly recommend this place to anyone that's looking for some good tacos. The customer service was fantastic as well you walk in and you're immediately greeted.

    Horrible carne asada taco; had a lot of pieces of fat. The food here is not worth the money.

    The carne asada taco had pieces of fat in every bite. The carne asada has no flavor. Not worth the money! Also, the cashier/young man has very poor customer service skills.

    A little hole in the wall restaurant is always the way to go. This place came out on my FYP on TikTok and decided to come try it out ! It definitely did not disappoint. It's a family owned restaurant and all members were very pleasant and friendly. We started off with some chips and salsa, the chips were freshly made and paired perfectly with the salsa(not spicy) . I ordered 3 tacos, 2 asada and 1 al pastor. Portion size was great and generous and perfectly made of handmade tortillas! Chef kiss! I got full with 2 ! My husband ordered a Menudo also paired with handmade tortillas! Ver delicious and generous amount. My son ordered 2 tacos de cabeza and said it was very juicy! Highlight their cebolla and cilantro is very finely chopped ! To drink we had their Jamaica and was also very tasty! 10/10 for presentation and authentic taste. We're definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu! Looking forward to trying the Mole Plate and Wet burrito!

    Al pastor, carnitas, and carne asada tacos
    Jessica G.

    Coco's tacos is AMAZING. They serve the best tacos ever here. My favorite is their al pastor tacos. It's juicy and generous with the portions of meat per taco. I love loads of onions and cilantro on my tacos, so I always ask if I can have some on the side. They pack it in small baggies for you. Their salsa roja is genuinely really spicy. So be warned beforehand. I am someone who can handle a decent amount of heat. What I love about their salsa roja is that the spice doesn't take away from the flavor of the salsa at all. There are some spicy that just makes the sauce gross, but this one is 10/10!! They are a small family ran establishment and it's really cozy and quaint. They are always very polite and nice when we go there.

It was only 3 taco sized portions with a side of consome and a slice of lime. In regards to the flavor of the Birria Quesadilla, it was delicious, but something I wouldn't order again. Overall, my experience was a great one. I would go back again to try something new.

If you're looking for high-quality, authentic street tacos at a reasonable price, this is the spot. Why I keep coming back: * The Tacos: They come 'fully loaded' and are incredibly consistent. I'm picky about my onions, and they are always happy to accommodate requests, which I truly appreciate. * Efficiency: The staff is consistently friendly, and even when it's busy, the food comes out fast. * The Vibe: It's a truck with a casual outdoor seating area, making it easy to grab a quick, fresh bite. * The Bonus: Don't skip the small shop on the same lot they have the best treats. I highly recommend grabbing an elote or a mangonada to round out your meal. If you haven't tried them yet, add this to your rotation. It's exactly the kind of local gem that keeps the neighborhood food scene great!

In the last couple of years, the competition for street tacos has gotten fierce. Some street taco stands even make their tortillas on the spot while preparing your meal. Unfortunately, this place hasn't evolved to meet the challenges and match the competition. The food is not bad, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth going out of your way for it. There is plenty of street parking and lots of tables in an open space area. Bring sweaters and jackets if the weather calls for rain or it's cold. The seating area is under the roof but there are no walls to protect you from the wind.

I may try something different if I come back, but based on this visit, it didn't quite hit the mark.
