Came here for the first time and tried their Taco Tuesday specials -- definitely worth it! The tacos were only $2 each, with a small extra charge for guacamole, which was still a great deal overall. I also tried their homemade Jamaica (hibiscus) agua fresca, and it was delicious. I had the opportunity to meet the store manager, who was incredibly welcoming and kind. We talked for a bit, and I enjoyed learning more about how the business got started. I really appreciate how family-oriented they are. The music created a great atmosphere, and the restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained. read more

I had a memorable, delightful experience at Señor Esparza Tacos (Azusa). I ordered three Taco Tijuana ($3.50 each) with a Cheese Melt (additional 50 cents each). The Taco Tijuana is a handmade yellow corn tortilla with creamy guacamole, juicy meat, and fresh cilantro; I ordered my meal with no onions. These are some of the BEST tacos that I've tasted in a long time. "DELICIOUS!!!" I arrived on Tuesday (around 10:38AM). Parking is simple when familiar with the area. There's a cramped rear parking lot that holds six spots. However, there's plenty of free street parking on the side and around the block. Fortunately, I easily found a parking spot. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or counter. Staff also speaks fluent English and Spanish. The self-service kiosk is very convenient since there's clear options to make substitutions in your order. After ordering $ paying, I found a seat. Staff brought the food to my table with a bright, welcoming smile. My meal arrived in three minutes and 43 seconds. Very fast!! As mentioned, I absolutely loved the Taco Tijuana ($3.50 each). The creamy avocado is generous; the meat is juicy and plentiful; and the handmade tortilla is very fresh. These clean ingredients carried a gentle zest, and I relished in its addictive, tender texture and savory flavors. These three tacos quickly filled me up. "SO TASTY!!" Regarding ambiance, Señor Esparza Tacos (Azusa) is very clean and festive. Its unassuming exterior betrays the beauty hidden inside. The floors and tables sparkled. The location also had a retro arcade system in the corner. The location also had plenty of tables. I counted about 13 indoor tables. Also, this location is family friendly since there's a stack of high-chairs for kids. There's also a gender neutral restroom for customers, and there's a self-service salsa bar. The music also played upbeat Latin American music. I felt comfortable and welcomed the entire time. Overall, I discovered one of the best taco locations in Southern California, and I'm ecstatic. It's PHENOMENAL! I will happily bring guests and family members to this spot, so we may bask in such delicious flavor. If you love tacos, this is a must-try. 5 out of 5! GO!! read more

5/5 asada taco! We love the guacamole, onion and cilantro. The meat here is seasoned very well. A lot of other places have very plain meat. 5/5 for the asada quesadilla. They perfectly crisp the tortilla without burning it. They also provide guacamole as a dip. 5/5 salsa! I like the middle red one. It's tomato flavored, not really spicy. The mild one tastes more like a liquified banana pepper which I wasn't too crazy about. I like how they leave the salsa out already in containers so you don't have to put them in containers yourself. It would be nice if they had the squeeze sauce bottles so if you decide to eat here, you don't have to waste the small plastic container and can pour as much as you want. Probably one of the best tasting Mexican spots in the area! Definitely better than the stands. Would come again!! read more

There's a self service kiosk. I ordered the chorizo quesadilla. It's flavorful and there's a salsa bar. It's a little greasy. A server will come with your food but doesn't provide napkins or utensils so I find it kind of pointless. However the food is good and tasty. read more

This was one of the first spots I tried when moving to the area. I'm not sure if it was the pregnancy hormones, but I was really happy with the tacos and quesadilla that I got from Señor Esparza. I do recall loving their medium sauce, which was the perfect amount of spice. I'm not too much of a burrito person, but I did hear that they were maybe at most a B in grading. read more

I appreciate your prompt response to my post and communication. Thank you for offering credit and making sure error is corrected. We really enjoy the food and I love the agua de Jamaica. read more

A local hidden gem for the city of Azusa. I came here on a Tuesday for the Taco Tuesday deal I had see browsing their Yelp page. $2 tacos! That definitely grabs your attention. The restaurant has street parking and a private lot behind the restaurant. The restaurant is quite big with plenty of seating. The staff were friendly and explained the protein options for their tacos. There is a nominal credit card fee for card purchases. Order 4 tacos and 1 keto taco just to see how their keto taco tasted. The cool part is there is a sauce bar to grab 3 types of salsas. There was signs of daily deals which is pretty awesome and would make lots of customers come by on specific days. As for the tacos they were solid. For $2 each on Taco Tuesday they are worth it! The keto taco too was pretty good. The asada and ghost pepper pollo were my favors and one of their salsas had a great kick of spice to it. Overall it was a great deal and worth return visits for their meal deals. Thank you Señor Esparza! read more

Señor Esparza Tacos - $14...Asada papas paisa.. - Tacos Near Me - Azusa, California

The food and service is great. The lady at the counter is so nice. My go to place for lunch every Friday.

Nice little restaurant off Irwindale Ave near all the auto shops. It's the corner location that stands out with the cool nostalgic era mural on the side of the building. (Similar to the theme from the previous business, Chica's Diner). Our work crew decided to pick up food here and we were not disappointed. I ordered the loaded nachos based on the pictures from previous reviews. Yes, they were as good as they looked. The chips were not soggy, and there was a great amount of carne asada with the accompanying ingredients to cover the plate. I had it to-go, so the nacho cheese was provided in a separate container. Actually good for people (control freaks) who want to DIY the cheese on their nachos. Pouring it nice and slow baby, the way my nachos like it. The restaurant itself is super clean, freshly renovated, and the ordering area is separated from the eating area. I came in before noon on a Tuesday and it was already busy. The parking is limited, but the service to go is pretty quick. The gal at the counter was super friendly and overall service was great. read more

My first visit, but this is one of my wife's regular lunch spots and she swears by these tacos! She's originally from Tijuana, and is very picky about Mexican food, especially tacos. I tried what she usually gets which is 4 Tacos Tijuana, which consists of handmade corn tortilla, meat, cebolla (onions), cilantro, and guacamole. Of course, we tried the carne asada and it was amazing...flavorful and so tender it melts in your mouth! They do have other meats available, as well as fish and shrimp tacos, which is what I'm having next time. Service was excellent, and the indoor dining area was very clean and inviting. Will most definitely be back. read more

CLEAN!!! CLEAN!!! So well maintained!! If they don't pride themselves of cleanliness, I will! I am IMPRESSED. I can't help myself from looking around and every inch is clean. I don't know if I have ever seen that at a restaurant. And the coed shared restrooms...it's as clean as home!! Those dang windows and mirrors...not a smudge...so clear! I was up the street at the SCE Building and looking for something nearby to grab something to eat. I chose this place. I ordered the Wednesday nachos special $6 (chose al pastor meat) and a Jimaca drink $3.50 (one size 32oz). Refreshing drink and delicious nachos! It's about a half size order of nachos but good amount for me. I had ordered to go, but decided to stay and sit in the dining area to eat. I don't usually eat alone in a restaurant, but it was clean and inviting so I opted to stay and really enjoy my nachos before they got cold. It was 2pm and 96 degrees outside, but it was nice and cool in the restaurant with the air conditioning on. Great menu selection all day! All day breakfast items. Daily Specials! Sodas, Jimaca and horchata refreshing drinks. Choice of salsas. Catered party trays. Service was friendly. The woman behind the counter who helped me was warm and inviting, patiently provided their options, giving me the opportunity to feel comfortable in deciding what to order. Impressed! read more

Wanted to try a new spot and after reading the great reviews and seeing all of the photos so decided to try this place out! My husband came here after work to get an order to-go. He went on a Wednesday and on Wednesday's they have a nacho special and $10 burrito special. It was about 30 minutes before close and my husband said no one was there but the staff was friendly and they had the food ready in about 15 minutes. We ordered 4 carne asada tacos Tijuana, 2 ghost pepper chicken tacos, and one chicken burrito. The tacos Tijuana comes with the standard onion, cilantro, and guacamole salsa. The ghost pepper chicken tacos come with sour cream on top but we got it on the side and asked for no onion and extra cilantro. They have a salsa bar as well so he loaded up on variety of sauces. The tacos were $3.50 a piece which honestly felt a bit steep. The carne asada tacos were good, great char on the carne asada and the thick corn tortilla had a the perfect texture soft/crispiness to it and held up the meat well. I would say the tortilla is the star of the show. The ghost pepper pollo tacos unfortunately were just okay even though upon opening the container they did look great. I thought they'd be spicier or more flavorful but they lacked in flavor and also had WAY too many fatty pieces more than edible pieces so I basically picked the meat off and ate the tortilla with salsa. For the price, they definitely could have added more meat to all of the tacos and more quality meat (at least for the chicken). I love a good burrito but unfortunately the ghost pepper chicken and the burrito itself was also a let down. I can't stand raw onions in my food so my husband asked for the burrito with no onions and extra cilantro instead. Unfortunately, they may have misunderstood because every single bite was filled with SO much onion it ruined my appetite. Even picking through the onions, the burrito had too many fatty chicken pieces and we both took bites that had bones so we didn't end up finishing it. The other fillings in the burrito like the rice and beans also were just okay not much flavor. I want to say I'd like to give this place another try and maybe it was just an off day with the quality of the foods but for the price I'm not so sure. We really did want to enjoy this spot especially with how good everything looked in the photos so it's unfortunate with the experience and taste we we had with half the food. Solid tortillas and good Carne asada! read more

Lucky for us we met the owner, she is the sweetest and share her story of how this place came to life, I'll tell you what, you can totally come with high expectations... they will be met here. I love how this taco shop honors the owners and her siblings father, the story made my eyes water and you can totally see the attention to detail from their freshly made tortillas to each bite of your food! This is family and they make you feel like so! My hats off to the owner and her siblings, in sure you make your dad proud! Ok so onto the food.

The tacos are soooo good! The tortillas are perfection, the meat is splendid and the guac on point! The carne asada fries are not your typical string fries, no sir!

I love this place but it's really frustrating ordering from them sometimes. They are extremely stingy with their salsas. You can only order salsas from Uber Eats on certain items. I ordered today, I chose two hot sauces, I even left a note stating to give extra salsas and they gave me none. I can't tell you how frustrating that is. I even left a note for the driver and he ignored it. Why are they so stingy with hot sauces? I spent 50 dollars worth of food and they can't spare even one hot sauce? We also ordered fries and barely got any. My wife ordered a carne asada potato with no cheese and the gave her cheese. Someone is either not paying attention or just don't care about their job. I may not return I'm that frustrated read more

Fresh tortillas are delicious, and the carne asada is some of the best in the area. Their weekly specials are great

Great tacos and great services, wish they had more meats. But the food overall is amazing and taste is very authentic.

Could not resist coming back here. Chilaquiles with pollo and eggs were awesome. Esp with the grilled onions. Good enough for 2. But the Tijuana Taco is Still my favorite. read more

I went here last Tuesday and it was a nightmare we ordered at the front tipped 10 dollars on my credit card figured the food was gonna be amazing since reviews were high.we beat the rush but that didn't matter as it started crowding up. We got our food 20 min later payed for extra avocado and ordered with onion and cilantro. The tacos didn't have topping and no avocado went to the front showed them a receipt and came back 7 min I had to remind them a second time. The blonde girl looked overwhelmed. No one was really helping her. The food was not good the torta was dried out and the chilaquiles were gross. I think this place is busy because of there taco specials. There's a restaurants on Gladstone it's called Guadalupe's it's an amazing service is 100 % they were super busy to but the service was fast and there food was Authentic and delicious. Very disappointing place to eat read more

I passed by so many times & vowed to stop in to try the food and I was not disappointed! The Tijuana Tacos are delicious, the tortilla shell is just the way I like it.

Regardless of regular prices. This is the most authentic/ Accurate tasting tacos I've had. It brought me back to when I used to go to Tijuana at the taco stands right before crossing the boarder. Tacos Tuesday is the best time to go. And the Guac Sauce is Delicious . 6/3/25 read more

I love coming here for taco Tuesday. Hands down the best carne asada this side of the border. In my youth I used to love going down to tj and getting asada tacos, but I could never find a place that would match the flavor and quality until I stepped foot into Senor Esparaza. What really sets them apart for me is the warm and fresh handmade tortillas. But beware of the habanero salsa its delicious, but SPICY. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, very clean and the staff is very friendly. I don't mind paying a little extra for higher quality food, but this place brings high quality ingredients at a reasonable price. I will definitely be coming back next Tuesday and since it is so close to work I will probably stop by on Friday to try those Asada fries they look amazing. read more

Some of the best carne asada around, in my opinion! Definitely stop by for $2 Taco Tuesday - so worth it. read more

First time visiting this taco Tuesday and it was excellent! My first impression when I walked in was the restaurant was clean, welcoming and organized. The bathroom was also clean and very presentable so it was a good start overall. At the counter the lady that helped me told me she was the owner.....she was very nice, pleasant and made me feel at home. Adding guacamole to your tacos is 50 cents extra per taco....a little disappointing and usually comes included in "Tijuana tacos" Not to mention including guacamole in the tacos would make customers very happy!!!! I ordered chicken & carne asada tacos with a side of chips & guacamole! The owner informed me the guacamole was made fresh in house. I stay away from the pre packaged fake stuff so this was a giant plus. The food came out hot, fresh and with a beautiful presentation. Appreciate the finely diced onions & cilantro. Love the soft fresh made to order tortillas and grilled Carne asada/chicken. It was tender and cut nice and thin. Just right! No rubbery fat or overcooked pieces.....good job to the cook!! The chips came out warm and guacamole was good. I love that the tacos were not oily or greasy. No dreaded greasy heartburn ----which was great! Keep up the good service, great food, great value and consider adding guacamole to the tacos for that true Tijuana taco experience management & staff. I will definitely be a returning satisfied customer along with bringing family and recommending this spot to friends. read more
