Taco Azteca Original - Store front - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

Just like most people I been coming here since high school and thats been over 25 years. I usually get the asada tacos which are pretty good but not the highest quality. They actually are greasy tacos that a lot of people fein over. I guess it's like crack . Parking sucks. Prices have become on the high side through out the years for the quality you get. Service is good. read more

THE BEST TACO EVERRRRR.... PERIOD. I love tacos and I've tried the competition around town. I always and always come back. The staff are nice, the food is great and the salsa is one of the best. The asada taco is simple, yet yummy. The burrito is packed with delicious ingredients. Add the salsa to any of their menu items and you're in heaven. Please support them, they're awesome! read more

The food was good but they forgot to give me half of my order... I ordered two carne asada tacos, a carnitas taco, and a pastor taco and they did not give me my two carne asada tacos, which I didn't realize until I got home. I should have checked to make sure I had everything before I left, but a trustworthy establishment would have made sure my order was correct before handing me my food. CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE! Don't let them rip you off like I got ripped off. read more

They missed 1 item on my order and realized when I got to my office. I have to come back and get them. I'm a local here in Glendale, been going to this place every time I crave for tacos. As you can see this is an update of my previous review. Everyone deserves a second chance and they did not disappoint me. Everyone here was friendly and will try their best to resolve any issues. They offered an apology for their mistake for missing the item and gave me a free horchatas to show their sincerity. Even a small gesture customers will appreciate. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Best tacos in LA. Chicken tacos are the best, never dry and very flavorful. Good prices and fast service. Definitely a comfort meal type of place. read more

Best lengua taco I have had the pleasure of tasting in a really really long time! It was pure flavor and the texture was so good! I am sad that I didn't get more than one because I was really craving a fish taco at that time. Word of advice: the fish taco if you say yes to everything it will come with lettuce and tomatoes. and it isn't a beer-battered type of fish taco. I really wished it was crispy!! The large Horchata was so worth it, super delicious! If I am ever in the neighborhood I am definitely ordering like a bunch of tacos con lengua ! read more

I have been going here for years. The food is delicious and the people behind the counter friendly. I love this place

I've been coming to this spot for the last 10+ years and their food never disappoints. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would do it without hesitation. Their carne asada tacos are . Give them a try and you will not be disappointed. read more

OMG! This place is a taco gem! Came here after a long day of hiking in the cold with a group of friends. It's small taco stand with tables on the sides. Services is great, cashier is friendly and food serves pretty quick. I ordered 3 tacos: pork cheek, carne asada and fish taco. Choice of green (mild) or red (spicy) salsa. Unlimited self-serve of lime, jalapenos, and cucumber. Pork cheek - ($2.50) small taco size but loaded amount of meat. Super tender, juicy and flavorful. It comes with cilantro, onion Carne asada - ($2.50) small taco, meat is tender, tasty. Definitely different flavor from the pork cheek. Very generous on the amount of meat. comes with onion and cilantro Fish taco - ($2.75) large taco, grilled fish with avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion & cilantro. Fish has a light flavor, cook about right but not to perfection. still yummy. They gave so much meat enough for two tacos. Overall, one of the best taco place I've had. I would go back and tried the other items. I like the pork cheek the most out of the three. Nothing like I had before, the meat is just so tender that it literally melt in my mouth. With a little bit the of lime, it's like tasting taco in heaven. So regret I didn't order more. street parking is easily found across the street, next to the taco stand or nearby residential area. about three to four small tables on each sides, outdoor seating but with cover roof. no bathroom. They do take credit card with minimum $10 purchase and a $0.40 charge. Not bad at all for the convenient. This is a taco joint with multiple locations. My review is only based on this location specifically. Will have to try others to see if they have the consistency. read more

Decided to come down here during lunch from work with my compa. Great little spot. Ordered carnitas and pastor tacos. Tacos were kinda small but they definitely filled me up. Tamarindo was spot on. Right amount of sweetness and not to tart from the tamarind flavor. Small line and a lot of delivery orders on the side. Great place and will definatly return when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Hands down the best taco in the Glendale area. If you are expecting a nice seat down restaurant, this place certainly ain't it. But if you are looking for an authentic street taco, you came to the right place. The only reason I give 2 stars is that I think $2 for a taco is on a little expensive side. read more

Best lengua Tacos I've tried. Their salsa verde is delicious. I don't know how but they get the best limes around. One of my go-to lunch spots. There usually street parking on verdugo. Also, they accept card which is rare for similar spots. read more

I love the carne asada tacos and burrito. The regular burrito is much better than the wet one for some reason. Great salsas as well. My fiancé always gets the asada quesadilla - add avocado and sour cream and it's so delicious! read more

Great food and great service. Tacos are the best tacos I've tried. Cashiers are always friendly and attentive.

This place is so overrated. I went there based on the rating but wow what a horrible food. Very very oily greasy. I threw away my burrito and taco because the oil was dripping from the tortilla. Discussing !!!!!! Second they took my order wrong I noticed when they were making it was wrong I tried to tell the lady but she shit me down saying "ya ya we got this" and still got the order wrong. Third and the most disgusting they cooked fish's and meat together right next to each other. My meat tasted like fish which I don't liked They mixed the oil they used for the fish with the chicken and meat they cooked. Need i more!???? Try don't deserve the one start either. read more

Kind of dissapointed. Got the fish burrito and there wasnt much fish in it. Mostly beans and rice. Taste ok. Pretty good size. Service was good. It was pinto beans. Hot sauce was good both verde and red. read more

Taco Azteca Original - Fish Burrito ... More beans and rice than fish.. Not much fish. - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

Didn't eat, too late and two days after thanksgiving. Had a refreshing Jamaica drink.. Place in the neighborhood. Highly recommended by son. The service was great.. Very friendly. That only is encouraging, staff cares about pleasantries and satisfaction. Gotta try food next.. read more

This is truly my favorite place for Mexican food. I've lived in CA for almost 20 years and this place tops everywhere. I'd say it's better than ave 26 and king taco. They have the best flavors in their meat and their horchata doesn't taste grainy unlike some places. Their prices have gone over these years but I wouldn't trade it for the world read more

Not professional customer service, 0 level. food is not good. Long waiting time.They couldn't also understand me and sent wrong order

The pastor torta wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. I don't think it was good enough to return For a place that is so highly reviewed I was expecting for the meal to be a bit better read more

A pretty ok taco joint, but definitely not worth the hype it gets. I had the carne asada burrito and two fish tacos. The burrito was definitely decent, if a little dense, with good meat - though not a whole lot of flavor (the carnitas had more flavor to it - I tried some of my brother's). The tacos were a bit mushy and the fish wasn't fried enough. I don't know if that's just their style, but I like the fish in my fish tacos to be nice and crispy. For some reason the Jamaica also tasted off. I wouldn't say don't go here, but it's not worth the line it can have sometimes. Stay Cheerful ;) read more

My favorite authentic mexican spot in all of GlenJAIL. Honestly, all my friends like ElSauz better, but i don't see why. The tortas here are better in quality AND authentic seasoning. They are also bigger. I've been ordering from here since i was in Glendale High, and back then they would run the order across the street and throw it over the fence for me lol. I guess i'm biased but they always treat me right at Azteca. I'm here twice a week. TIP: Order the Burrito de Carne Asada and add avocado in that muhfucca, you won't regret it. read more

My son bought me a wet burrito if Lengua it was so delicious very well proportioned between meat beans and rice it is worth the price. My mom had a Big Fish Taco and a taco de lengua it was very delicious my son had a burrito of Al pastor it was very good and the shrimp cocktails are very delicious too the taste of the sauce it was so scrumptiously delicious I give the 10 plus on the taste of the food to bad DoorDash won't deliver that is my only complaint read more

Good tacos. Definitely the Al Pastor is the best here. The fish tacos are larger than the other meat tacos and taste fresh.

Taco Azteca is the best, most authentic Mexican food joint in LA. There's almost always a line which is a good sign for any food establishment. Especially when it's a street/shack joint. My husband ordered two chicken tacos that were delicious and I ordered the bean, cheese and rice burrito ($4.50) that was the best In the whole wide world. The cheese was perfectly melted, the rice had a tender, balanced taste and the beans were quite flavorful with the perfect texture. The first time I came here, they didn't hand out any sauce, but the second time, they gave us both a green and red sauce which were delicious. I highly recommend using both to compliment any item you order here. As their motto states, "they take great pride in their tacos" and it shows in all the food they made. read more

Taco Azteca Original - A line is always a promising sign. - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

Food used be very good.seems like the past few months the quality of the asada meat has changed.there's always a lot of fat in it and it just doesn't taste the same....I used to drive from Pasadena just to go eat a asada burrito .won't be anytime soon read more

Looking for some good ol tasty and inexpensive Mexican food?! Well, look no further! This place has some awesome mexican eatz for very affordable prices. We stopped in here almost in desperation due to my wife's pregnancy craving for Mexican food. We ordered 2 meat burritos and a cheese quesadilla (with extra cheese) for the kids. Total price came out with tax to about $17.00. Not bad if you ask me. The burritos were a good size....not crazy big....but it punched through with tons of flavor! The meat was juicy, and they had freshly chopped onions in that added some a nice crunch. The cheese quesadilla was big and cheesy! Great flavor as well! Go get your comida on! Cheers! read more

This is a cute, little 'taco stand'. You walk up, order from the menu board (prices include tax), and leave with your food about 10 minutes later. There is a surcharge for credit card use. I wanted to love this place, but it was not the best. The food items are a bit pricey, in my opinion, for what you get. For instance, it's $6.75 for a medium-sized carne asada burrito without any accompaniments. The taste was fine, but I was disappointed that the flavors were a bit generic. I've had better burritos for less. read more

This is a great little taco joint when you want a cheap but delicious taco or burrito! It is more like a stand than an actual restaurant. There is a little bit of seating if you want to eat it on the spot though. It is $1.75 for a taco and I think $6.75 for a burrito. I usually get 3 tacos and I 'm set! The carne asada is my personal favorite, but the fish tacos are also delicious. I have tried the lengua, but I personally don't like when it is boiled. The tacos come topped with fresh diced onions and cilantro. There is a green and red salsa. The red is a tad spicier and goes well with the carne asada and the green goes well with the fish tacos. They have sliced radishes, limes, and roasted jalapeños that is self serve. Their horchata is tasty and the service is always quick and easy. Definitely one of my regular spots read more

The fish tacos and burritos here are fantastic. The salsa verde goes well with pretty much anything.

I've driven past this place hundreds of times in the past nine months, but had no idea what waited for me inside. This is easily the best Mexican food I've had since my move to California. The prices are dirt cheep, for large, authentic servings of well prepared food. The ingredients were all fresh, and well prepared. Service was friendly, and very reasonable for the two person staff, and the food yielded none of the regrets that I have come to expect from The only downsides were a somewhat limited menu, and some poorly thought out seating (the backs of some benches render other seating areas unusable). These small setbacks are absolutely not a dealbreaker, and I intend to come back for another visit very soon. Overall, the portions and the quality of the food seem ridiculously out of proportion to the low prices, and shabby exterior. I am extremely happy that I gave Taco Azteca a chance, and I would highly recommend it to anybody. read more

They are apparently famous for their Tortas but I got their tacos and Burritos instead. While waiting for my food and eating it, there were numerous orders of Tortas, so... I will definitely try that the next time I come... But in order for me to write my reviews and compare the quality and taste of the local Mexican stores, I have to get my favorite tacos and burritos. Every taco places I visit I get their pastor tacos and cabeza tacos. I want to taste their meat and check out their quality! Then I want to try their salsa that complements it. We ordered - cabeza burrito with cheese (cheek meat) - al pastor and tripas tacos (marinated pork and intestines) - homemade horchata! It was GOOD! The food would be 4 stars The homemade horchata another one star! I would give them my two thumbs up!! They have outdoor seatings : which is something I don't like about many of the Mexican places. They have their self serve salsa and radishes outside next to the stand. read more

This is the spot! I'm going to review this place now because I literally been here 3 times this week. My favorite here is almost everything I tried so far. I love the carne asada, al pastor, and fish tacos! They are not stingy with their meat wow! Every bite is bursting with flavor and their fish taco is huge! Everything about the fish taco is fresh ; they even put avocado in it (if you're an avocado lover as myself, this is a dream come true ) Blessing or curse, this is only less than 5 mins from my place. The lines move fast, and you can tell even at night, they do get a lot of hungry customers! Thankful for the love and service that brought many satisfied customers like me to come back again and again! They definitely are prideful of their business and it's evident in their food! Working in the front lines, dealing with sick patients in this pandemic has been very difficult. So I'm thankful that this place is around to provide that comfort food and instant satisfaction after working some crazy and tiring shifts read more

The tacos are great! The burritos are so so. I think thats why I give them a 4 instead of a 5. This taqueria does it right as far as tacos are concerned. They have simple meats done right. Carne Asada, Carnitas, Al Pastor, Chicken, Lengua, and the like. All tacos are served up on double 3'' corn tortillas that are warm and soft. The meat is piled on and cilantro and onion are added with salsa. I thought it was interesting that they picked the salsa based on what I ordered and did not ask what salsa I wanted. It was cool as I got salsa on the side to add as well. They are generous with their limes and radishes. The horchata is some of the best I have ever had. Having lived in Mexico for over 2 years, I was really impressed. I think they put Lechera and milk in their homemade horchata. I would ask if for any reason you are lactose intolerant and want the horchata. My brother is lactose intolerant so I also look out for these things. The seating is all outside but covered by the awning of the roof. This place is cool as its like eating at the taco truck but you at a location. This is how the taquerias roll in Mexico. Most if not all are outside/open air dining. Friendly service and easy to love the food. They take credit/debit cards now! The meats are all very flavorful and fresh. Good salsas. The burritos are ok but seemed small for $5.25. The tacos are $1.34 and seemed to have the same amount of meat. Good rice and beans. The tortillas are fresh and flavorful. read more

Read my previous review. Again, this is just for the fish tacos. I had to upgrade them another star after just eating here again. We got 10 fish tacos for 3 people and had one left over. I had 4, but keep in mind, they are extremely large. Anyways, I just want to give this place the love they deserve for these awesome fish tacos. It's not a five star because of my previous review. read more

Carne asada tacos are so fire. Better than any taco I've ever had. Makes my mouth water thinkin about them.

This spot serves one of the bigger burritos you will find in the LA area. I ordered the fish burrito for $7.75 which was stuffed with white fish, beans, rice, avocado and a bit of cheese. I doused each bite with fresh squeezed lime and red and green salsa. The staff was friendly, I'll definitely return when in the area. You definitely get your money's worth. read more

Honestly, I love this place. THE BEST al pastor (get the burrito) And they also have great fish options! The staff is super nice and remain calm despite how busy it gets. I don't have anything negative to say about this place...I mean, the parking situation sucks and the abundance of hormonal teens isn't ideal but neither of these "cons" are the fault of this place. read more
