    a food truck with menus
    Marjorie U.

    I love their Chorizo and Al Pastor tacos. The red salsa is medium spicy--the best place to have some good tacos after watching a show or having a drink at the bar.

    Very unfriendly, I've been before and had good food and the workers knew fluent English. However today they treated me like dirt and acted like they didn't know English at all. They were so aggressive, To the point it made me uncomfortable to order. I highly reccomend non Latinos to tread lightly.

    Burrito was way too salty and I order a Asada burrito not a bean and rice burrito first and last time going to this lunch truck.

    (2h Al pastor and (1) carne asada tacos

    Okay, came in with high expectations for the positive reviews. Even more, locals were lined up outside of this taco truck at 11pm at night. That's always a good sign! We were excited. They raved about the al pastor tacos and the carne asada french fries--we ordered just that. Pretty disappointed. The carne asada fries were hot but was no more than meat and nacho cheese. No pico de gallo? Sour cream? Avocado? While the al pastor was tasty it was a little dry, and it didn't have the pineapple slice as portrayed in the photos outside the truck. Plenty of options for spicy and mild salsas, fresh cucumber, radish and lime slices. Nice people. Location: easy to spot. In LA, where there are just sooo many taco trucks, at least we can cross this off our list.

    Two pastor (delicious!) and one asada! Their avocado salsa is my favorite.

    5 stars for a taco truck. Their pastor is amazing & you can see it being roasted in the truck. The asada is really good and my friend said their chicken tacos are good too (chicken is usually iffy at most places). So if you're looking for a great taco spot in San Pedro, here it is! There are other items on their menu as well that look delicious- I'll have to try next time. Guac salsa is my favorite. They also have verde and roja salsas.

    Awesome little truck right on eleventh & pacific! Came here at night with my two cousins. We got carne asada, carnitas, chicken, etc. all the tacos were very tasty. Prices were a little high considering that they're street tacos in San Pedro, but the service and employees were dope. Carne asada was a bit dry because of how chopped up it was- makes it impossible to maintain any type of juice. Everything else was good. Salsas were delicious and hot!

    Went today aug 16, 2020. First time trying here. I aways go to the other taco truck in San Pedro but i wanted to try this one since theres always people waiting when I am passing by. Ordered asada torta, 6 tacos, and a horchatta, total was 21 dollars. Torta was really tasty, could taste butter from the bread, bean looks like from scratch(not from canned), asada was tender and delicious. I really liked crispy tripa taco, it was crispy, and chewy. Buche was so so, and my friend really liked chicharon tacos. Horchatta was great not too sweet as the other taco truck and it was brownish, looks like they really made it(not sure though..lol). Just becareful with red sauce. Its super spicy even though I like spicy food. Hope they give more green sauce. Definitly will go again soon.

    These are genuinely the best tacos in Los Angeles. Their Al pastor tacos are bomb af! Strongly recommend Habanero MX out in San Pedro.

    I finally swung by Chori-Man after hearing everyone rave about their house-made chorizo, and…read morehonestly, the hype is real. I'm a bit of a chilaquiles snob, but these are easily some of the best I've had in town. The chips actually held their crunch even with all that sauce, which is a rare find. I got mine with their maple habanero chorizo--the perfect balance of sweet and kick. It's a small, local spot, but the flavor they're pushing out of that kitchen is massive. The Breakdown: * Quality: You can tell the chorizo is artisan. It doesn't have that greasy, heavy feeling of the mass-produced stuff. * The Sauce: Perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, just purely flavorful. * Service: Super chill and friendly. It feels like a neighborhood staple because it is. Pro-Tip: Parking can be a bit of a hunt right there on 9th, so just be prepared to walk a block. Also, grab a pound of the loose chorizo to take home for breakfast the next day--you'll thank yourself later.

    Food: I ordered the breakfast burrito with three eggs and…read morespicy sausage. The burrito was quite flavorful but could have used a little more salt and pepper. After adding some ketchup, it was amazing! The sausage had a spicy kick, which I really enjoyed. Service: The staff was friendly and helpful, making it easy to choose from the options available. Atmosphere: This spot offers convenient pull-up service with a few outdoor seating options, making it a casual and easy stop for breakfast. Price: My meal cost $17, which is about average for Los Angeles. Overall: I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

My food was out within 10 minutes and with a line they were definitely working. I always know the location is good when there's a line and people still coming in. I came in right after they opened at 6pm. The location is in a parking lot with no restrooms and places to sit. But looks like everybody was taking it to go anyways. Definitely a taco spot to try if in the area.

    Very disappointed with my experience at Leo's Tacos. We ordered several tacos, including two tripas…read moretacos, and the tripas tasted horrible. We politely let the cashier and the cook know because we thought maybe there was an issue with the meat. Instead of apologizing or trying to make it right, we were simply told, "That's how they sold us the meat." There was no concern, no acknowledgment of our complaint, and no effort to replace the tacos or offer another option. I understand that suppliers can sometimes send poor-quality products, but that's not the customer's fault. Good customer service is about taking responsibility for the experience you're providing. A simple apology and an offer to replace the tacos would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, the lack of customer service was more disappointing than the food itself. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
