I was surprised I couldn't even find it on Yelp, but he 23dropped a pin and showed us where to go. The truck is unassuming and parked inside a gas station parking lot, but don't let that scare you away. Hands down the most amazing barbacoa tacos ever. The salsa has just the right amount of kick and the limes, onion, and cilantro are served in the perfect ratio. It was delicious. At first, I order two then I had to order one more because they were just that good. The guys making the food inside were super friendly, too and are from Jalisco, so the name is legit! They have Mexican coke, which has real sugar, in the glass bottle along with other Mexican sodas. And it was super cheap! $5 for the 3 tacos, 2 cokes, and two sides of frijoles charros. Make sure to take cash though, they don't take credit cards. If you don't mind getting your food to go, or standing outside the food truck eating amazing tacos like we did, then hit this place up soon. Did I mention it's delicious?

When I called them to let them know, they immediately told me to go pick up the $10. As soon as I got there, she showed me the invoice and the 1 was obviously added. She was smerking the entire time. Luckily, I saved my copy of invoice, otherwise, they get away with stealing money. If they did it to me, imagine how many others they do it to. Please be careful, folks! ¡COBRARON DE SOBREPROPINA! Ten cuidado en este restaurante. Agregaron un 1 delante del monto de la propina cuando pagamos con tarjeta de débito. Cuando recibimos el retiro, fueron $10 más. Cuando los llamé para avisarles, inmediatamente me dijeron que fuera a recoger los $10. Tan pronto como llegué, me mostró la factura y obviamente se agregó el 1. Ella estuvo fumando todo el tiempo. Por suerte, guardé mi copia de la factura; de lo contrario, se salen con la suya robando dinero. Si a mí me lo hicieron, imagina a cuántos otros se lo hacen. ¡Por favor tengan cuidado, amigos!

However, I recently passed by on my way to my mothers and the exterior of the building had been repainted, cleaned, and overall looked much better. I decided to invite my mom here for breakfast and I'm glad I did. They place was absolutely clean, very nicely decorated, quaint, and the menu was extensive. The food was absolutely delicious and the price was great! The only issue we did have was that they were very low staffed, with one waitress left to tend tend a full restaurant. I had a cup of coffee and the chilaquiles plate. They have red and green options. My mother had the combination plate which had samples of entrees offered at the restaurant. Once fully staffed, this place will get my 5 stars.

The flavors were rich and authentic, with just the right balance of crispiness and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Not only was the food fantastic, but it was also priced very reasonably, making it an incredible value. But what really sets this place apart is the excellent hospitality. The owner took the time to personally greet us and share the inspiring story of how he started the restaurant. It's clear he has a true passion for both food and people, and it made the dining experience that much more special. From the warm welcome to the great food, this place has it all. 10/10, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the Pasadena area. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic pupusas and a genuinely great dining experience! ¡Este restaurante es absolutamente destacado! Probé una variedad de pupusas (queso, queso y frijoles, y chicharrón con queso) y todas estaban cocinadas a la perfección. Los sabores eran ricos y auténticos, con el equilibrio justo entre lo crujiente y lo delicioso que se derrite en la boca. No solo la comida era fantástica, sino que también tenía un precio muy razonable, lo que la convertía en una relación calidad-precio increíble. Pero lo que realmente distingue a este lugar es la excelente hospitalidad. El propietario se tomó el tiempo para saludarnos personalmente y compartir la inspiradora historia de cómo fundó el restaurante. Está claro que tiene una verdadera pasión tanto por la comida como por las personas, y eso hizo que la experiencia gastronómica fuera mucho más especial. Desde la cálida bienvenida hasta la excelente comida, este lugar lo tiene todo. 10/10, definitivamente regresaré cada vez que esté en el área de Pasadena. ¡Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que busque pupusas auténticas y una experiencia gastronómica realmente excelente!

The menu is huge, with lots of choices, including just about every Mexican food or Tex-Mex item you can think of, plus a lot that you didn't know even existed, and a nice breakfast menu with lots of Mexican and American breakfast food choices. There is also a large selection of excellent seafood dishes (fish and shrimp), delicious soups and stews, and even several items that you would normally expect to find only at a regular American diner (liver and onions, beef ribs, and hamburgers, just to name a few.) And the service is excellent. The waitress and other staff really take good care of you. We discovered this restaurant recently after our long-time favorite taqueria closed down. Fortunately for us, we discovered that we like Taqueria Centinela even more than our old favorite Mexican food restaurant. There are so many items on the menu that you could eat every meal there for many, many days before you finally had sampled everything their menu has to offer. And every single menu item is delicious. Oh, and I almost forgot: They have the BEST fresh, homemade corn and flour tortillas that you will find anywhere! And, three different types of delicious, fresh, homemade salsas (red and green) are served with chips at your table. Get over there now, if you want the best Mexican food you've ever had in your life! (They also serve food to go.)
