    Monster Tacos crushed it. The wet burrito was massive and loaded with flavor, with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese without being a mess. The tostada was super crisp and stacked just right, and the al pastor tacos were straight up fire. Tender, juicy, with that perfect little char. Everything came out fast and hot. Easily one of my new favorite spots.

    Monster Tacos? More like Tiny Tacos. These things are smaller than my hand. Total ripoff --overpriced, underwhelming, and not even filling. Don't waste your appetite. And! they only gave us one red sauce :/

    This taco truck is the worst. Never ordering again because it was highly disappointing food. I tried their fried hard shell tacos (tacos dorados) and I feel like they're packaged not freshly fried tortillas. To top it off they came stuffed with refried beans and maybe two pieces of chopped chicken such a scam. The fish and shrimp tacos were also skimped on with protein as they put a whole lot of lettuce, tomato, onion and cilantro to fool you into thinking it's a big taco. Don't even get me started with the rice. The rice is overwatered and loaded with tomato sauce so much that it's not fried but instead mushy tomato rice. Absolutely the worst. I don't recommend this taco spot when in the eagle rock area, just go to Angel Tijuana Tacos!!!

    We were looking for tacos in the eagle rock area and came across Monster Tacos! The reviews were hit and miss and not super recent so it was difficult to make a decision to try this place. I started off with two carne asada tacos, a hard shell asada taco and cheese quesadilla. The carne asada wasn't super flavorful, but i squeezed fresh lime juice and that seemed to help. They were NOT stingy with the meat either!!! I ate one taco with red sauce and the other with green sauce. The sauces were good and had a lot of flavor. The hard shell taco was so yummy! The shell was fresh. It had beans, carne asada, lettuce, sour cream, and crumble cheese. My daughter had the quesadilla and she said it was yummy. I enjoyed my tacos so much i actually ordered two asada and another hard shell. I didn't catch the name of the lady who helped me but she was very nice and patient. I will definitely be back some time for that hard shell taco!!!

    Al Pastor Burrito is one of the best very well cooked and best burritos in the glassell park neighborhood out of all f the other food trucks that are out here and they have affordable prices yay you can not go wrong with this food truck plus they're licensed with the city's health department grade A and food handlers license /permit for the county of Los Angeles and I also work for them as a private security officer I give this food truck a complete 100% satisfaction and quality of food o

    Would not recommend at all! My coworker and I ordered through DoorDash like an hour ago. I don't care if the food is cold it was the avocado for me, they gave me 4 tiny little pieces of avocado when I paid for Extra BTW. And also the avocado they put in it was old, black, expired whatever you want to call it. It was the avocado that had to be thrown away but they decided to put it in my food. Refund me if you are out of avocados or something. As a matter of fact I have worked in a restaurant before and the owner should never allowed this food to be served. On top of that it's over priced and doesn't taste good! Will not come back.

    i always get the al pastor tacos, but i've tried pretty much everything on the menu. the nachos are good, the tacos are better; they're pretty greasy but that just depends on if you're into that or not. i used to order for delivery through doordash but lately i've been driving there for pickup. it's decently priced food, the service is pretty quick, and there's always parking since they're directly outside of a shopping area parking lot. i haven't had a bad order yet, so i'm not sure why some of the reviews are so low.

    3.5 rounded up. I was craaaaaaaaving nachos but didn't want to deal with parking for king taco so decided to doordash from Monster Tacos. I ordered nachos with extra meat, which I def recommend to have a good meat-chip ratio. The cheese was cheese, nothing amazing but nothing terrible. They were actually really generous with it. Reading other reviews I thought the cheese would come on the side but mine didn't but the chips weren't soggy or anything so i had no problem with it. I didn't like that they skimped on the onion and cilantro though. All in all pretty good.

    Great flavor! Their red sauce is hot and great! Cool high curb to sit while you wait for food. Prices were good. Friendly people! I'll definitely return!

    Monster Taco- Shrimp + your choice of protein with avocado onions & cilantro.

    Taqueria La Guadalupana is a food truck. My boyfriend and I came across them after a failing dinner…read moreelsewhere, so we decided to make it an adventure and get some tacos. Upon walking up to their food truck, there was a family who brought their own chairs to camp out and enjoy their tacos fresh. I also noticed how they have a good selection of salsas, onion, cilantro, and accompaniments for the tacos for self serve. I really like the straight forward pricing. Tacos are only $2! You pick the protein. The cashier was friendly and efficient. My boyfriend had the Cabaza and Suadero Tacos and I went with an Al Pastor Taco. We got this additional foil pouch of tasty grilled onions, which were a nice surprise. Yum! They were pretty good for $2s. Not saying they're the best but they were convenient and good value. I would consider coming back if they were nearby and I need a quick snack. I'll have to try more of their proteins next time.

They have three types of salsas, pickled onions, cucumbers/radishes, and limes that you help yourself to. This taco truck is on a street that's not too busy. There are short stools on the side for those who want to eat there. The area around the truck is clean. There's also a parking lot right next to it that you can park at. It's one of my favorite taco spots and I try to satisfy my craving whenever I'm in the area. Will definitely be back again soon!

    DO NOT COME TO THIS TRUCK!!!…read more I chose this truck late night last night out of 3 other Mexican food trucks on Eagle Rock Blvd and I regret it all the way. I would give 1 star but I'll give 2 just because the Asada Fries I ordered were decent. But for the prices they have??? Oh h*ll no. Who do they think they are charging people 21$ for a medium box of food. On the truck the price of the fries said 17.99!!!! That's already a lot but I decided to order them feeling like spending money for a good meal and when I order with the guy at the register you can just tell he wants your money. Obviously their business isn't going so well so they have to overprice. After reading the price on the truck the guy says ,"that'll be 21$". I'm in disbelief but I'm not cheap and have pride so I just gave it to him. These people are not for the community at all and I do not recommend. You'll be better off going to Leo's taco truck or the place in front of target. Listen to the reviews or you'll be money grabbed like me. I don't usually write reviews but I cant let that slide again. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't even get a fork with my meal and the make you get the sauce yourself. With prices like that you'd think they cater to their customers a little more. I promise you they don't care. Do not eat here.

They were a solid 4.8/5, my favorite was the fish taco. I think they use a chipotle sauce it was delicious. I also really really enjoyed the carne asada. They have some seating in the location I was at, as well as a small gift shop that is open Wednesday - Sunday so you can browse while you wait for your food. It took less than 10minutes for my tacos to be prepared but there was no line when I was there. The service was great, two sweet guys in the truck, and an electronic queue to place your order. The tacos are reasonable priced for LA... I'm from San Diego and tacos are pretty cheap there as well as on Mexico. I recommend trying it for yourself.

Missed this place the first time we looked for it --…read morethey are a food truck that is often stationed where Yelp says but check their instagram for their true location and times each day. Glad we tried again the second day. I had an excellent shrimp, fish, and carne asada taco, and the fries I stole from my husband were also very tasty. The shrimp may be my favorite with carne asada a close second. Also, I normally steer clear of chipotle aioli because it usually just tastes of mayo, but the sauce here is very balanced and chipotle forward. Nice picnic tables here or even better take it to the parklet right outside the lot.

On top of that, they have both vegan and vegetarian options. Since it was affordable and I wanted to try all the vegan and vegetarian ones, I went ahead and ordered all three. I'm glad I did, because the tacos are small, so you really do need to order more than one to get full. When I placed my order, the cashier gave me a magnet. It made me laugh because they kept calling my name only to tell me it wasn't ready yet. The third time they called my name, it was finally ready. It seems that they were trying to get everything just right because when I finally did get my order, it was colorful and beautifully presented. It tasted great as well.

I ate the chicken first and it was delish - but I saved the best for last / the pork taco was probably the best one I've ever had / especially with the added home made hot sauce that I was warned packed quite a punch. Happy for the warning I only used a few drops and it was taco perfection. Wil definitely be back to try them out again / the taco shells were home made as well - and blue!
