I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

The meat and overall burrito did not taste fresh or good at all. A few hours after eating it, my stomach started hurting badly and I began feeling nauseous and like I wanted to throw up. Based on how I felt afterward, I was very concerned about the quality of the food I was served. The service wasn't much better. While the guy was preparing our food, he received a phone call, picked up his phone, and walked away. We had asked him to add something spicy to our food, but our request was basically ignored. Between the poor service, disgusting taste, and how sick I felt a few hours after eating the burrito, I definitely don't plan on returning. I expected much better quality and attention, especially when it comes to food being served to customers.

*** Cash only & raising taco price to $2.50 starting in mid August ***…read more Chema's Tacos is a mom-and-pop + brick-and-mortar taco shop in Whittier and was established in 1986. They only sell taco - no burrito, no beans & rice, and no chips. [Parking]: Limited and few spots available right in front of the taco shop. However I had no issue finding a spot on Saturday night. [Ambiance & Amenities]: This taco shop doesn't have the sexiest decor. There are 7 indoor tables, one ATM, and old-school toy vending machines. One unisex restroom available. [Menu]: 7 meat options for taco - carne asada, al pastor, tripas, pollo (chicken), sesos (brain), buche (stomach), cabeza (head), and chorizo (sausage). *** Carne asada taco + Al pastor taco (with everything, dine-in - $2.25): One of employees brought a plate of tacos to my table. Unfortunately I thought both tacos with double-layer tortilla tasted just alright - salsa had a hint of spicy kick, but flavor profile was bland. *** Feels like this is one of those nostalgia spots for locals who live in Whittier for decades, but there are just too many good $2+ street tacos in LA in 2025.

The tacos are so good! Service is fast as well. Definitely recommend the Al pastor tacos.read more

I got a taco loaded with tender grilled steak, perfectly cooked shrimp, fresh guacamole, melted cheese, and diced red onion on a warm corn tortilla--plus a squeeze of lime to tie it all together.

It seems to me that insomnia would be better suited to the name of a coffee shop than a Mexican restaurant, but names have never been my department. Let me begin by saying that the food was good, the beer was cold, and the bill was so reasonable that you almost felt you had gotten away with something. The place itself is another matter. The decorations are gauche in the determined way of a restaurant that has been decorated rather than furnished. The music is loud enough to discourage conversation, and the temperature was kept a skosh below uncomfortable, as though the management had made a study of the precise point at which a person begins to sweat. I had two El Sonora tacos, one beef and one carnitas, and both were excellent. The Anaheim pepper, stuffed with cheese, was the thing that pushed the taco from merely good into the territory of something worth remembering. The signature flautas were also very good, which surprised me because I have never been much of a flauta man. The beer came properly cold. They serve Victoria, my favorite Mexican beer and one that, for reasons I have never understood, is not available in nearly as many places as it ought to be. Then there was the bad. A waitress pushed two tables together to make a four-top. The resulting table was so uneven that it appeared to be considering collapse. It teetered to one side throughout the meal, and although the problem could have been corrected with two folded napkins under a table leg, nobody seemed interested in conducting such an operation. And then there was the ugly. A man sitting at the bar was eating his dinner and drinking a beer while taking intermittent puffs from a vape. There was something about the whole arrangement, the beer, the food, the vapor hanging around his face that made the place feel, for a moment, less like Southern California and more like Mexico. I suppose that is part of the charm they were going for. Anyway, the food was good. The beer was cold. The prices were fair. But restaurants are made up of more than tacos and beer, and Desvelado never quite managed to get the rest of it right. I can say with some confidence that I might be back.

This place has good music and the drinks!! Would recommend anyone to swing on by.

On the other hand, they serve up a heaping plate of inconsistency. Three different items from their already small menu weren't available. No Al Pastor? Multiple beers tapped out? And this was early in the evening, not closing time. It made me wonder: supply chain problem, or did they just forget to go shopping? With only one server and one cook on duty, the whole place had a vibe of "we're trying, but please don't look too closely." Service was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt a little uncomfortable, like something was just... off. As for the food: the Pumba tacos were excellent, the Gobernator shrimp taco was also good, and then there was the "side salad." Calling it a salad feels generous. It looked like someone raided the burger garnish tray and charged me $8 for it. Full iceberg leaves, a few tomato slices, a browning avocado, and purple onion just sat there staring at me, daring me to fight it. It was such a disaster I almost had to set up a GoFundMe page for it. The space itself is modern and vibrant, and the menu ideas are creative -- if only you can actually order them. Unfortunately, the potential doesn't outweigh the frustration. We won't be back.
