The main 3 meats you have to try here are AL PASTOR, CHICKEN & ASADA! Al Pastor: If you don't want to try anything else, this is the one that's a MUST! For a crispy bark taste. Tell them to grill it more A.K.A. DORADITA and of course have that pineapple added on there! Chicken: My second choice here. Good and with the right sauce taste even better. Green or Habanero Asada: Although its not really considered "Asada" since there is no grill. Its still good, but there has been some times that it was EH. As far as the aguas frescas... I've tried all and recommend any of them but if I had to... I would go for Cucumber read more

El Pariente - AL PASTOR NACHOS! - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Park, California

Their coctel de camaron is very delicious. They also have a set up outside where you can order delicious tacos! I recommend the pastor tacos which come with fresh piece of pineapple and the tacos de tripa dorada which few places carry or know how to cook well. They also have a big selection of aguas frescas. I have tried several tacos spot in the area but always return to this one for their quality and flavor. This place is also very reasonable priced and the staff is always very helpful. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. You can sit inside or you can order to go. The ambience is very friendly. read more

The Service was good. The food was delicious, very tasty! I will definitely be returning soon.

Better known as the Taco Spot at Salt Lake & Santa Ana by the railroad tracks. They have moved, upgraded and have a better parking set up. This week is opening weekend and they're running $1 tacos. They got a taco truck set up in the front of their establishment, a taco grill and a sit down in the same place. I love their Suadero tacos, heck this is the only place I've seen around here that has Suadero. Their horchata is top notch, get the Large and thank me later. They now have a lot more items to choose from: Asada fries, Tortas, burritos, quesadillas... My go to taco spot in this area. Meat is always juicy and tender. Friendly service and late hours. Swing by and check them out. read more

The family and I have been going here for years. The quality of food and prices are amazing! We continuously order tacos al pastor, asada, mulitas and their burritos! Plenty of meat, beans, sides and sauces. They also have agua frescas, which are delish! I truly love their tacos because they are not greasy and the meat quality is clean. No fat! Obviously we have tried other taco places but nothing has been able to too El Pariente. LOVE IT! enjoy read more

One of the top 5 tacos I have. Rather have these then any 5+ dollar taco in any restaurant in la read more

This place definitely serves some of the best tacos in LA. We got the cabeza, asada, pastor, brisket, and mixto. My favorite were the mixto and brisket - both were tender and flavorful. Their red salsa goes very well with their tacos. They ran out of lengua and chorizo when we were here so I'll probably try that next time. Service here is awesome too, the cook is super friendly. Can't wait to come back! read more

El Pariente - You probably can't really tell what most of this is, but I highly recommend the brisket and mixto! - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Park, California

Probably some of the best tacos I've ever had. The meat and tortillas are so good. The salsas are super good. I like the habanero one cus it has a good kick. I recommend getting a cucumber water to go with your tacos! read more

El Pariente - 2 pastor(with pineapple), 2 asada, and 2 chorizo - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Park, California

So for one I want to say I love this place. I want to continue to like this taco spot because their food really is delicious. But In the past 3-4 times I've gone it seems like they don't care whether someone is wearing a mask or not while ordering or in front of the register where napkins and other things are like drinks. I get not everyone wants to wear a mask but when you have a sign that literally says no mask no service... one would expect them to address the customer and let them know to put on a mask. So that is the reason for my low rating. I did not order food I left since South Gate is a neighboring city 3rd in the county of most confirmed cases. read more

This used to be my favorite taco place in Huntington Park. I would drive down 30 miles to eat at this place but the last 2 times I have eaten here the meat has not been fresh. Its reheated and they add extra oil. It's gone from excellent to really bad. Very disappointed. When you start letting go of your business the clientele will go down with it. Hopefully they fix it. read more

El Pariente - Not fresh. Reheated dry chewy oily meat. - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Park, California

I love seafood a lot! I always look for great taste and these guys take the cake but most of all the are using fresh seafood and you can taste it. From the ceviche to the tacos these guys are the real McCoy! True Mexican dishes served right. read more

Must try the tacos de tripa! They were so good and crunchy! Also the asada tacos were bomb. We'll definitely be coming soon.

The al pastor tacos are delicious. The meat is thick red big and juicy. They are served w/bits of pineapple which only makes them taste better. They have cucumbers, salsas, red onions, cilantro, limes, anything you might need for your tacos that you can grab. The food truck is on Pacific and they are parked right in front of the restuarant. So you can turn on California St. to drive into the restaurant parking. There is plenty of seating space in the restaurant. Most of the staff is by the food truck. I have only tried al pastor and those tacos get the 5 stars. read more

I was recommended this place & the food is great! Awesome food! However I asked to speak to the manager ROSSIE because I got my order wrong and she was so rude and told me I had to pay if I wanted them to changed my order and had to wait 20 more minutes because other people where ahead of me! She was so disrespectful! Worst customer service! Not going there again. The worst read more

El Pariente - Lot of variety - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Park, California

I literally just came to buy some tacos and a quesadilla, got home and some of my tacos were missing. I literally paid $31 for nothing.

I would have given this place a better rating before but yesterday I went to get a burrito, the meats inside were pastor and asada. At first I tasted something acid and thought it was the salsa or the pickled onions, so I kept eating it, my stomach was getting upset so I stop adding salsa and pickled onion. Then the flavor was still there. I then smelled the meat individually and found out the pastor meat was gone bad.. Now I've been sick since last night. (TMI) I have constant diarrhea and I've been sweating and vomiting!! If you do NOT want to get FOOD POISONING PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more

Pastor and tacos mixtos are good, but you can get better for $1 or $1.25 elsewhere. The strawberry juice is really good. Overall my review is based more on customer service. Not the friendliest. Not worth coming back read more

A great local taco truck! They offer delicious tacos, burritos, tortas and quesadillas at affordable prices. King Taco is down the street but this little truck beats the prices and the quality of the meats. read more

By far the best tacos de suadero, Al pastor tacos and the carne asada nachos are to die for! Can't get enough of this place! Everything is fresh and homemade. I love their peanut sauce and marinade red onions with free frijoles de la holla. Their aguas frescas are the best as well. Costumer service is also always fast and friendly no matter how busy they are. Heading there now! read more

Seriosuly some of the best taco truck tacos I've had in a long time! I personally love their tacos de chorizo and tacos de tripitas. Their horchata is great (not too sweet, not too milky or rice-y) and I love that they have frijoles on the side to go with your tacos! But anything you get here will be good for sure. Everything is fairly priced and there's plenty of parking since I think they also own the locale right in front of them. read more

My favorite restaurant. One thing you will notice right away is the fresh meets, fresh food. Owwww my god Im addicted to this restaurant, it's so delicious. If you love enchiladas, tacos de asada, birria, al pastor, pollo & tacos de camaron or tacos de mariscos come here you will love the food & will be happy with the price, very un expensive. I have tried caldo de res, caldo de pollo delicioso. On sea foods here I have tried just about everything, mojarra frita, tacos de camaron & sea food tacos, campechana, cocktail de camaron. Also on weekends they have delicious menudo & posole. Right now I'm here writing this review and enjoying a delicious campechana & my daughter is eating two tacos de asada. Again the food is delicious & fresh and that's why is my favorite restaurant and super affordable. 5 star restaurant without a doubt. Sincerely Carlos read more

By far the best tacos I've ever had. I am honestly there two or three times a week, I will rather eat there than any fast food restaurant. All of their meats are great, I would recommend one of each taco and their tortas and burritos. Their champurrado and agua frescas are bomb can't go wrong with anyone of them. The service is great, the girl taking the orders is very friendly. Highly recommended. read more

don't even waste your time to order for delivery, customer service s-u-c-k-s!! the delivery man eugenio adds $2-$3 dollars to your order total. before tipping and after being caught multiple times he doesn't care, he is also rude and disrespectful and the manager rosie is so ignorant, turning my complaint into a race issue when it's really not. it was about how the delivery man was really rude and the next day when we ordered again he refused to deliver, and instead of letting me know i was waiting 2 hours like an idiot, oh and also i lost an hour of my lunch. the food is great which is why i keep ordering, but it's not even worth it,last time they will be getting my money..the disrespect.. ugh! you are better off wasting your money somewhere else! read more
