The cashier was handling money and food with the sam glove. I asked him to change them when it came to my order.

The food went really, well. The ground beef is off the charts. Really good and Taco Pete deserve a commercial on the tube. Of all places I dine at as far as fast food is Taco Pete. read more

Original Taco Pete - Tacos Near Me - Compton, California

Visited this restaurant because I read that these Tacos tasted like the old Tito's Tacos in Culver City. Far from the truth! Not even close to Tito's tacos from today or years ago. It was just okay in my opinion. The service took awhile because of a long line of patrons. I tried the beef and chicken taco. They were good but not great. read more

Food is good went u don't want to cook I eat food offen I can't complain well good keep up good cooking well done

I really enjoyed the food, but unfortunately the customer service left a lot to be desired. While I was waiting for my order, one of the employees had a very unfriendly attitude toward me and made me feel uncomfortable. There was confusion about the drinks I ordered, and instead of calmly helping resolve the issue, I was spoken to in a rude manner. Thankfully, another employee from the kitchen helped me and made sure I received my second drink. The food was great, but the poor customer service made the overall experience disappointing. I hope management addresses this so future customers have a better experience. read more

We chose to eat lunch at this location. As soon as we walked in, nobody wanted to help. Then the young girl taking our order was full of attitude. At that point, I should've turned around and walked out, but I didn't, I anticipated on eating some good food and leaving a good review. The food matched the service. I honestly have no idea how this place makes any money from the locals. read more

They have changed the meat that they used to use ..the meat that they are using Now is cheap ground beef. I got a hamburger Won't be going back there. read more

I was truly at a loss for words after I ordered 10 tacos yesterday. 4 chicken, 4ground beef, and 2 pastrami. Now I used to go to 120th and loved every meal but this was the worst I've ever eaten. My family of Four all said the exact same thing that every taco was flavorless and dry. I had to add hot sauce just for moisture and taste. I hope they get it together soon because if this continues we will lose a great place for tacos . And no we didn't finish the tacos read more

I don't know why our people have to be so rude and ghetto!!! The lady at the register is rude AF!!! Laughing and joking with employees while I was standing there instead of taking my order, then she literally yelled at a customer telling them their order number. Both Instances were completely unnecessary, The food was very basic and I Won't be back! read more

Taco Pete on Crenshaw and slauson I don't know about anything else, but I went there for the first time today. Try the tacos and the fries trash not seasoned to perfection. zero stars. read more

Good food and friendly staff. Don't use the Yelp app to order. Go directly in and order at the counter. read more

Tacos are good but I've never had to pay 25 cents for a teaspoon of hot sauce. The food is good but be prepared to pay for the condiments!

Service was nice and fast. Food was hot and delicious. Got some of it all chicken tacos with rice on the side. Beef tacos with sour cream and also turkey tacos. Turkey was said to b a little spicy but other than that it was amazing. Fries were fresh crispy and seasoned with seasoning salt. Will definitely b adding this place to our lunch spots read more

I went to taco Pete on Rosecrans in Compton this evening, May 1st around 7pm to get dinner for my family the cashier a heavy set Hispanic was very rude to the older African American lady in front of me, when I stated my order he snapped at me to order my combos one at a time he then started mumbling low where I could hear what he was asking me, when my daughter placed her order he was also talking low where she could not hear him and talking rude to her. I believe that if a worker has a problem they should leave there problems at the door or find another job not working with the public. read more

This little hidden gem was off 120th and central before. Friendly staff members always ready to make your order fresh. This place is unlike any other taco place taco Pete delivers flavor unique to your palate. You know what's also unique their prices. In an economy where everything is expensive they manage to keep their prices low. A staple to the community if you're in town it's a must I can't believe how underrated this place is. Well now you know. Also be advised there's no dine in or public restrooms it's more of a pick up and go kinda place. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I did definitely the ground beef tacos are a must! Btw be sure you get enough hot sauce. Enjoy! read more

See all

Great tasting homemade tacos !! Order was placed online and food was hot and ready upon arrival.

Cool place for different kinda taco , they been around for over 40yrs my go to place for home style taco I grew up on

This is the Taco Pete I've known and loved. I went to the location on Central and 120th all my life and was genuinely sad to see the location closed. Especially with all the closures of local & loved places around the city. I tried the location on Slauson and it's ok. But I made the mistake of having one of those "Hard" not "Fried" ones and knew that location wasn't for me. But this one. These are the tacos that I expected them to be. I had these delivered so I'll update this review when I eventually go into the location on Rosecrans. read more

Okay, now this is my spot! Taco Tuesday I'm there for it and also any other day of the week But I love their tacos always cooked and served right ALWAYS. I like the beef, chicken and turkey tacos (beef ones are my most favorite tho). I haven't tried the steak tacos yet but I will for sure. I've had their burritos as well. Staff is friendly and good service. No pics because I always eat so fast I forget or have no time for photos lol read more
