Tacote hits the spot for late night eats. Love that you can order ahead to minimize wait. The shrimp quesadilla always slaps, but this time got: - Classic Birria Burrito $15.99 w/ a Side of Consume/ Beef Broth $3.00: while the birria was nice and tender, the beef broth didnt add much to it. Prob would just get the carne asada burrito next time. Friend got the pastor fries and that was also stacked with toppings and avocado. read more

OK spot. Decided to try this truck out as one of the few being open. By the time we arrived, they were likely closing within 30 minutes. They have some tables for seating We ordered steak tacos and steak burrito. Nothing special. Food took a long time to come out. Parking in the plaza. read more

I'm not one to leave vendors negative reviews but I absolute feel the need to do so with this truck. Let me start off by saying, they were the only vendor at a boxing event yesterday and were selling burritos and quesadillas for $25! A plate of 4 tacos (no sides with anything btw) was $24! Absolutely outrageous. The worst part was that they were so unprepared they didn't have forks or spoons for anybody. No small cups for your salsas or anything for you to actually enjoy your ridiculously overpriced food. If you ever see this truck at an event make sure you go elsewhere. The food not only will be more affordable but likely taste better. A complete disappointment beyond measure. read more

This taco truck is pretty pricey depending on what you order. I was in the plaza this truck is parked at and was craving nachos so I checked out this taco truck parked on Reseda in front of Northridge University Center. I saw they had nachos on the truck menu but didn't list the price which I can see why. I asked the lady working the window how much was nachos with asada and she give me the price which I thought was pricey. I asked how much was the nachos without any meat and she said the same price which shocked me because it's just chips and cheese. So I didn't believe it was worth the price here. They take online order as well and I couldn't find nachos listed on there, maybe I'll try their tacos next time. read more

Came here to try out their salmon and shrimp taco. They have two tables and chairs where you could sit and eat there. Pretty good service, they were fast. First and foremost, solid size taco, two tacos is enough to fill you up, which is why I'm giving it a three star and not a two. Apart from the size of the taco, I'm a bit disappointed. No flavor in either the salmon or shrimp. The guacamole salsa, green, and red salsa no flavor. The chipotle aioli was by far the only thing in the taco that had some flavor and spice and made the taco a bit better . The tortilla was also a flour tortilla , hence the size , if it was a corn tortilla maybe it would've helped with the flavor issue. Perhaps the rest of their food items are better seasoned ? Maybe ? Idk. But the salmon and shrimp, hard pass. read more

El Tacote - Shrimp and salmon taco with chipotle aioli. - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had the opportunity to take this amazing experience and it was "FIYA". The fries was cooked with a crispiness and they seasoned it . It was great for that pop of seasoning that would pop up from time to time. The meal was heavy, I couldn't finish it, really made for 2 people. The meal cooked perfectly, you see the pic. This was a great experience ! read more

The best spot to get tacos and burritos. Owners are super friendly, great customer service. By now my number 1 spot to get tacos from. highly recommend read more

Their meat is super mid & their asada fries tasted old & cold & could've used more cheese/ guac & sour cream Their mulitas are a joke; super small & have no toppings; just cheese & meat inside, it's literally a mini quesadilla My husbands California burrito was good & the only decent thing from the few items we tried Would not go back read more

Really disappointed with the food here. I came on a Tuesday after all the social media videos I had seen for them. The lady was friendly, but they had no prices listed on the menu. You had to ask the price for each item. That in itself felt kind of shady to me. They also don't have any Taco Tuesday specials. I ordered 6 tacos, 1 nachos and 1 classic burrito and it came out to $50. I felt that was way too expensive for the portions. I will just stick to the 2 taco trucks I go to for Taco Tuesday. The one on Nordhoff infront of Lowes does $1.50 tacos and the one on Desoto infront of Walgreens does $1 tacos for Taco Tuesday. read more

We got 3 asada tacos and 3 queso Birria tacos. The consume was not all red and oily like you usually get. SO flavorful and delicious!!!!! The asada was packed in and the tortillas were super fresh. Definitely going back to try a burrito. read more

El Tacote - Queso Birria tacos w/consume - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been to this taco truck a few times and it has always been a good option. These are good tacos. The service is generally pretty quick as well. I love where they are stationed because there is always a lot of parking, I don't see that ever being an issue here. My friend and I stopped by and ordered 2 tacos de asada and 1 taco al pastor each. They are good tacos but nothing special imo. The tacos are pretty small with what I consider a normal portion of meat for the tortilla size. The asada is lightly seasoned and cooked just about right. The meat texture was soft and missing a light crunchy factor (personal preference). It wasn't dry but it wasn't juicy either. The Al Pastor was decent, it was a bit on the drier side and the flavor doesn't come kicking at you, but it was good with the toppings. As you can see from the picture there is no pineapple in the taco. They used corn tortillas which were soft and an excellent pair to the tacos. You can't go wrong with either the red or green salsa here. Plus the limes they handed us were very juicy. Bonus points because the tacos are not greasy! I would definitely give them another shot and try some of the other items on their menu. If you're considering stopping by, I would recommend giving them a shot and trying it out for yourself. read more

Place did a complete 180, every item we got tonight was a disappointment. Terrible quality and flavor. What happened?

I got the Cali burrito and steak quesadilla. A Cali burrito has fries instead of rice and beans. I am rounding up from 3 1/2 stars. It was just ok for me. I think Casita Taco in Noho has the best steak quesadillas and this one doesn't really compare. I read several reviews that stated the burritos were huge here but it was similar size to everywhere else. I prefer Taco Llama for some reason. I will try their traditional burrito next time. Their chips were really good and that's what stood out for me. Check them out for yourself. read more

First time stopping by at El Tacote on a Friday night. It wasn't packed and there were only 3 people ahead of us. We were craving for their Carne Asada Fries, Chicken Taco and Birria Taco. El Tacote definitely satisfied our food cravings. Hands down the best tacos and Carne Asada Fries in the San Fernando Valley. We really like El Tacote because not only do they have delicious tacos, nachos, burritos and fries they also have quality food items and meats with good price points. I've also noticed how consistent they are with providing excellent customer service. Their food portions are also on point. El Tacote is one of the many small businesses and food trucks that we love to support in the San Fernando Valley because not only are their food items really good, they are consistent with practicing quality and customer care. read more

Had a craving for some carne asada fries so of course had to drop by El Tacote and ordered the Loaded Asada fries! Takes a few minutes but they're quick. Food is made to order and well worth it! Danny took my order and was very hospitable and helpful. He introduced me to Boing! beverage. Yes I'm late to the party lol. Never tried it and Danny suggested the guava. Goes great with the carne asada fries. Not too sweet either. As always the carne asada fries were delicious. Fries were just right. Crispy on the outside and soft inside. Not dry like some spots. The carne asada was tender and very good. Thank you El Tacote! read more

One night my daughter go out with her friends and come home with half of her burritos to shared it with me. Insisted me to try them and tell me how tasty they are . Behold , indeed taste so delicious you can tasted the flavor of carne asada, rice, etc. single bit of your bites, not only that it's huge. If you compared Tacos Reyes vs El Tacote they are the winner because Tacos Reyes all you taste is the spicy flavor inside your mouth that's it. I drove all the way down to buy our dinner lots of people are inline, services are fast , staff are friendly, you can tell inside the truck everything keeps inside the freezer with the right temperature. OMG !!! They only cost me $12 / burritos. Only difference they don't provided you chips so what. Tacos Reyes only give you one small bag of chips even you order 12 burritos so the rest will just stared at the one who got the chips while they are eating. very unreasonable see what I mean doesn't make sense they want you to fight with each other just for half pieces of chip and their burritos is more expensive the El Tacote plus tasteless. Thanks to my daughter and her friend's point is to a place with best burritos in SFV. So friend's don't take my words for it, go and try it yourself surely you will never go back to Tacos Reyes b'cause they also have everything what Reyes selling taste awesome than theirs. And their lights were lids. Area are clean. read more

Food truck with so many delicious options! Parking was super easy as it's in a big shopping center. Two folding tables with chairs set up in front. Waited about 10 minutes for pastor fries, a quesabirria, and a supreme burrito. All were delicious! Will be back. Prices were okay, definitely not cheap but not expensive either. Fries were $16. Taco was $5. Burrito was $16 think? read more

I'm a fan of Mexican food the flavors when done right blend so good together. That being said I also love spice so much that when I go to Chinese food places I will eat so much hot mustard till my nose is dripping. When I eat Indian food I go medium heat because there spice are on another level, at Dave's hot chicken I go the highest level just for the burn. But strip it back and you get a pretty good chicken sandwich .That being said I felt like the food was being masked by spices prior to adding any salsa and expected more with there yelp reviews being so good. I guess if you're going to the college and need something to pair with cheap beer and shots then it's a go to. But if your use to eating top notch Mexican food that melts in your mouth then I would reconsider especially if you have a wife that loves Mexican food with flavor and no burn. read more

Good eats near CSUN. Service was quick and the asada fries are delicious. Pretty efficient ordering process but Not much space to eat near the truck so definitely plan for take out. read more

HALAL and absolutely amazing , in fact I never ever had Mexican food that's this good . Particularly because I eat only halal food but it's authentic and fresh , we couldn't even take a photo before we start devouring. It's my favorite place to eat from now on . Soooooo good , I'm not sure why it has 4 stars , it's solid 5 stars read more

Nothing like a food truck with awesome tacos! Looking for a spot in the area for a late lunch and there it was. I took a moment to review the menu, layered with several pictures of tacos and tostadas on the windows. The woman was nice taking my order. There are tables and chairs set up for eating on the spot. The plate is a great value, at $12 for a set of 3 street tacos with rice and beans. I also threw in a shrimp taco for good measure. All were delicious and hit the spot. read more

I've been a customer here for over a year. They served me the wrong meat for my order. When I brought back my order I was told that they don't give refunds and they can't replace my food with something else on the menu of equal value. I was told for $11 they can make me another plate of tacos. Lesson for future customers, make sure they read the order back to you. read more

I've been here many times in one week and once you try it, you'll know why! Important tip: If you pay CASH, they will not charge you tax NOR a cc fee!!! Wish I had known this before I paid with a cc my first time lol. They have 2 foldable tables with 4 chairs each right outside their truck. We prefer taking it home, though, and enjoying our food with a cold drink! My absolute favorite (and weakness) are their nachos! If you're about the melted queso, then this place is for you! But honestly, their carne asada is made VERY well! Super tasty/flavorful! Their quesadillas are huge! My son LOVES their shrimp tacos! So so good! read more

El Tacote - Queso tacos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a review for the Asada Tacos. Delivery was fast and efficient. Packaging was neat and clean; however, using a foam plate and foil for take out is not the best option because food will get cold immediately. I put the tacos in the microwave for 10 seconds and they were good to go. The tacos are average. The meat was finely chopped and overseared . The toppings were fresh and delicious. Portions are rather small. They include 3 slices of lemon and salsa with the order which is a plus. The tacos are aesthetically pleasing. Overall, if I were a hungry student looking for something to eat between classes, I would be happy with the $10 meal. I am not, so I would rather keep exploring my taco options in the valley. read more

I usually never leave reviews (this is my first) but I was definitely looking forward to this cheat meal for the whole week. I was so disappointed. The Cali burrito had no sazon just pure salty. Didn't even finish a quarter of the burrito I wish I could leave a better review but if you are deciding to come here or another place just go somewhere else. 1/10. read more

Wish I could give this place a better rating but it wasn't that great. The carne asada was flavorful. I got the carne asada fries, it literally had no cheese. The cashier wasn't that friendly, she had an attitude. Overall not a great experience would never order again from this place read more

Really fast service, fresh meat, friendly atmosphere, and great flavor. My go too spot will never go to another taco stand ever again.

I recommend this place, they are hands-on original Mexican style food. Starting with morning, breakfast burritos, and their signature menu. Pastor, asada, chicken, and etc. I've tried mostly everything on their menu. And they don't disappoint at all. I appreciate them. My entire colleagues and clients go and it's a 5 star from all of us thanks to the Cooks, and owner. read more

I like how convenient it was to order because they had the kiosks set up right in front of the truck; easy to look through the menu and see your options. The food was good, the burrito I got was very big and stuffed with ingredients. My girlfriend's tacos were small but still yummy. Would pass by again if I was in the area and looking for something quick. P.S.: They have a nice little patio area Wher you can sit in front of the truck :) read more

I've religiously supported this food truck, at least bi-weekly for the last 3-4 years. The prices have steadily increased but that's fine. What isn't ok, however, is the way I was treated by a new staff member who was obviously unaware of my consistent patronage, and was dismissive, rude as hell and wouldn't allow me to civilly discuss an issue about my order cost, or escalate my complaint to a superior. Unacceptable. I told her to her face that I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN. She should be reprimanded and/or fired. read more

Me and my girlfriend came in for some Carne Asada fries and everything was perfect. Danny took great care of us super friendly, professional, and made the whole experience smooth.
