    G's Empire Tacos was definitely the most "looks can deceive" review. Tucked in a little strip mall, it serves amazing and authentic mexican food for one of the best values I've ever seen. I stopped by for Taco Tuesday, as of writing, they have a couple of meats, Al Pastor, Pollo, Ground Beef, and so on. They were only 1.65. That is insane in this economy. And they're sized good as well! They offer complimentary consomme and a little salsa bar with ample seating on the inside. I got 3 Al Pastor tacos and they definitely did not disappoint. They were amazing for sure. Service was great as well! Quick, fast, and efficient, they got my food out and served it table-style. Kathia? (I hope I'm spelling it right) was kind and took my order. If I'm ever in the area, I'm coming back here for sure. Best bang for your buck, and best hole in the wall gem. Unless the locals go here, then I just look ignorant haha.

    First time going here and let me say it was delicious . Service was good. The queso birria tacos were fireee. I got a soup and it was decent my husband got the el pescado Zarandeado and it was delicious as well. Definitely will be returning

    Pozole to go
    Sharon K.

    Ordered the pozole to go because we were craving soup. Came with chips and the works, they package all the condiments and add ons on the side which was great. They also have a small topping bar when you go inside that has chopped onions with cilantro, and limes, essentials. Great service, we called ahead to order and the food was ready when we picked up, very quick. Solid spot!

    my partner and i come here regularly because we love the food and it's consistent until today. i always get their birria tacos and it typically comes the same way as it looks in all the review pictures but tonight it came in foil wrapped, no consome, and soggy as hell. the meat is just giant chunks and i couldn't even pick it up before the tortilla ripped apart. on a normal day they're 5 stars, but today they're 3

    Plato pollo and carnitas
    Robin R.

    The service was amazing. The young lady who took our order answered every question we had. The ambiance gives mom and pop restaurant and can sodas only. The food was ok. We ordered a few things off the menu Plato pollo/carnita plate, asada fries, birria taco and chicken hard shell tacos. The birria taco is the only thing I would eat again. But I have to go back and try the pozole.

    Taqueria El Taco Loco really hit me with a wave of nostalgia.

My plate was loaded, the kind of generous, no‑nonsense serving that tells you they cook with heart, not shortcuts. Every bite had that strictly authentic, home‑style flavor that reminded me of family, childhood mornings, and my grandma throwing down in the kitchen. The spot itself is super casual, eat in or take out, nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. But honestly, the food and the service are the only "decor" this place needs. If you're craving something real, comforting, and made with love, this taqueria delivers. Miguel C.

We normally call ahead to order our food, and it'll take roughly 10 - 15 minutes. Service is always solid - the workers are friendly and helpful. We normally get the carne asada/pollo fries and they're awesome. Fries are cooked perfectly (I swear there was a period of time where they coated the fries and that wasn't it, but thankfully they stopped), comes with the usual toppings like guacamole, onions, cilantro, etc. They top it with a hefty amount of juicy meat - both carne asada and pollo options are solid. Recently though I've been straying from fries and getting different dishes like the chicken flautas, enchiladas, and mulitas. Chefs kiss for each one. The rice and beans + salsa combo are also flavorful and pair nicely with the entree.

    If you're cruising through Gardena and craving a small, casual Mexican spot that actually hits,…read moreCocos Tacos is one of those neighborhood spots that reminds you why simple food done right always wins. The vibe is unfussy, the service is friendly in that "we got you, don't worry" way, and the food comes out fast enough to make your stomach feel seen. Man cause we were craving some Mexican food. The wet burrito was the star of my visit, big, saucy, and exactly the kind of comfort bomb you want from a spot like this. The red sauce had that perfect balance of savory and tangy, and the burrito itself was stuffed generously. Every bite was so good, so delicious! And the tacos.....Fire. The homemade tortillas make all the difference, soft, warm, and with that fresh‑masa aroma that tells you they didn't come from a plastic bag. No... no... no! They hold up beautifully to the fillings without falling apart, and they add this subtle sweetness that elevates everything. Chips and salsa were simple but solid. The chips had a good crunch, and the salsa tasted fresh, bright, and not overly blended, the kind you keep dipping into even when you tell yourself you're "saving room for the burrito." "Maybe we were just hungry..hungry huh?" The drinks were honestly refreshing as hell. True Mexican style if you're going to complete the meal....que no? The horchata was creamy without being heavy, with that cinnamon sweetness that makes you want to chug it.The agua de Jamaica was tart, floral, and ice‑cold, the kind of drink that instantly cools you down on a hot Gardena afternoon. Cocos Tacos is exactly what a neighborhood Mexican spot should be, casual, comforting, and consistent. If you're in Gardena and want homemade tortillas, a saucy wet burrito, and drinks that actually refresh you, this place deserves a stop. "Always remember the energy you give is the energy you receive! " Miguel C.

The price was another thing that really surprised me since when you bought a bigger size of ceviche can go up to more than $60 to my surprise this place give me a very good deal which I do appreciate. This place has been in my head the whole week, servers are very kind patience and give you a lot of options so you can get what you want, after ordering my ceviche I went inside the restaurant now which is the building and they have one section of only ice cream lollipops oh my God they have three times more options than any other places. If you go around where the tables are outside, you will see a little window where you can order any kind of Agua fresca and other snack snack. please go and visit this restaurant. This is a very unique Mexican flavor restaurant You will be amazed by the variety and the taste of the food. they have plenty of parking lot, but I've heard that they can run out of parking lot since a lot of people can come in and out but most people do order and takeout since this Restaurant do not have an AC.
