    Delicious tacos!
    Alden C.

    Got recommended El Taco Man for my baby shower and they did not disappoint. They arrived on time and the food was delicious. Both rice and beans were seasoned well and my guests complimented how good the food was. I love how they left the leftovers after the event so my guests could pick at it after. We chose the asada/al pastor/chicken and they were all great. Highly recommend them for your event and they were also affordable.

    I have been coming here for years and haven't left a review on this place yet! Food - For my last visit I decided on Carne Asada Tacos and Carne Asada Mulitas. I typically do the tacos which the meat is very well seasoned and not dry, and the salsa they provide is amazing. It was my first time trying a mulita from here, and I'm not sure what it is, but this was the best mulita I had. Service - Service has always been amazing here. No matter who it is, I have always been greeted so kindly. Ambiance - the restaurant is more of a home where you order from the window for take out or dine in (which they do have a patio area with a few tables). It's more on the quiet end but it is next to streets so you may hear cars driving by.

    All breading,tiny sliver of fish,so very disappointing.

    For starters,'I DO NOT RECOMMEND. " THE WET BURRITO was all rice and tortilla, tiny portion of carne asada,and meat was minced small,you couldn't even taste it,a lot of nasty green sauce,I didn't care for the taste,it was off,and for $9.00+tax you would expect a fat portion of meat,but what you get is tons of rice,and not at all worth it. We ordered 2 fish tacos and 2 shrimp tacos $11...all thick breading and a tiny sliver of fish,((see photo))the shrimp tacos were no better,2 tiny shrimp per taco,in a greasy breading,I'm telling you now, 'JUST DON'T GO" a waste of your time and money. My burrito had a 3 inch hair inside,that's toe straw from the camel...I'm done.

    New menu prices. I haven't been here in 5 years

    My favorite quesadillas went up again $8. The service is still pretty good. Bring cash if you can. They do take card, but taxes get added

    Best burritos in town! I personally thought they were way better than King taco. Anyway, the food is delicious and inexpensive. Cash only.

    Can't go wrong with an El Pastor burrito/torta from El taco man. The red sauce is super spicy though but still delicious.

    Found this place and had to try it. The burritos are small. They're about 3 inches wide by 6 inches…read morelong. The tortillas taste like they are freshly made. I had the burrito with beef, potato and green chili. It was really good, but as I said they were small. But for the price you get what you pay for and I believe that five dollars is fair for this burrito. I wanted to try the bean cheese, I went ahead and bought one of those and it was delicious as well. If you're coming here, expecting a huge burrito you should probably order a couple. Flavor is here in each of these burritos. What I like the most is that they were small enough to order two and try different ones instead of being stuck with the same big giant burrito. Two equal the price of your average burrito somewhere else. After eating two of the small burritos, I was definitely full. Service was good! Pretty fast and easy to order. I definitely recommend trying this place.

    I finally had a chance to come here and I could not be more happier. The burritos are excellent…read more The birria burrito is really good but my favorite, which I will order again, is the deshebrada - shredded beef in green chile and potato. Sooo Goood! They recommend 2-3 burritos per person but I think you can get away with 1. they are small but filling. I bought two and was happy that I had one for the next day. They heat up well in the toaster oven or air fryer. I am curious how the frijoles y queso one is. I am sure it is really good too.

    Lunch on Taco Tuesday in Temple City, Los Angeles, California…read more.. My friend, Rosemarie, highly recommended El Ruizeñor Grill because she had been there in the past for a Yelp event. She described the food, the prizes, and the fun - wow! Let's go! Parking on the street was easy. We arrived before the lunch crowd, so several tables were available. Afterwards, the place was packed in the colorfully decorated and festive atmosphere! Service was attentive, friendly, and helpful! The Taco Tuesday deal was great! We got pollo, papa, al pastor, and carnitas tacos for $1.56 each, and a carne asada taco for $2.56! Everything was tasty and beautiful! I also enjoyed a generous, refreshing horchata! Thanks, Rose for the fun foodie adventure! I appreciated the complementary crunchy chips and non-spicy salsa! Yum!

    I was introduced to this restaurant in May 2026 at a private event…read more My friend, Nadine C., is visiting from Hawaii, she wanted authentic Mexican food. I knew this would be the perfect spot. The recipes are from Oaxaca Mexico, the owner, Debbie, was working and greeted us. We took advantage of the Taco Tuesday deal. We ordered Carnitas, Al Pastor, and Chicken tacos from the $1.56 list and Carne Asada, Lengua from the $2.56 list, plus Tortila Chips topped with Mole sauce and cheese to share. I'm loving the mole, which is usually made with chicken. This is the first time having it served as Nacho Chips. It's a little on the spicy side and sweet at the same time, so savory! The restaurant has nice decor, murals on the interior walls, and ceramic dishes. Cafe de Olla is a specialty coffee made with a cinnamon stick, it was served in a beautiful clay mug. This is not offered in many restaurants, be sure to give it a try. It's available hot or iced. There are approximately indoor seating for 40 to 50 guests (in my estimation), and 4 to 5 outdoor tables by the entrance. Please note that handmade tortillas are available on the weekends, you know I will be back again and again! Sincerely, Rosemary
