Always a line passing by a couple of times here, so we finally got to try it this time! We got the special burrito with carne asada and the carne asada fries to share. The burrito itself was pretty nice, which it was soft and tender. Although, it didn't really feel like a packed burrito. It felt like it was mostly rice and the sauce they had. The overall flavors were pretty nice tho. The carne asada fries were pretty good too. Very generous with the cheese, but wish they added some pico de gallo with it to make it taste more refreshing. The crinkle fries in it are pretty thicc. There's limited seating outside and cash only. There's another mexican joint in the area, El Pilon, that I actually may like better. In comparison, I do like El Pilon better. read more

Love this hole in the wall taco shop!!! Cash only so be ready!!! Their meat portions are amazingly generous. They also load the cheese and I am happy they use white cheese and not yellow. The carne asada fries are made with crinkle cut fries and once again the plate is stacked with fresh ingredients. The tacos were the best and I'm glad I asked for the special toppings for extra since it includes guacamole. Definitely recommend this taco shop when in the La Puente area!!! read more

These tacos were so good! The carne asada was delicious, and they do not play when it comes to the cheese and guacamole. They load these tacos up with so much meat, and every bite was worth it. I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be coming back. It's cash only and has a few seats outside, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot, but trust me, it's worth the trip. Glad I stopped by! read more

Not sure if I had high expectations for this place since I always see a line when we pass by, but I think it's just average. Easy parking in the lot and the place had some outdoor seating available. You order at the window and pay at the other one when your order is ready. They do close fairly early compared to some other places that'll open later Biggest pro is the staff is very efficient, friendly, and thorough. You place your order, then they prepare it iin front of you, they may ask for your customization options for your dishes. They had the usual protein options, al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, lengua, etc. We got carnitas tacos, al pastor tacos, asada quesadilla, and carne asada fries. Portions are good for what you are paying, maybe slightly on the higher end. Tacos $3.50 each, asada fries $17 and quesadilla $12. Maybe it was just this batch, but they proteins didn't have much flavor and if it did, like the asada, it was just salty. The al pastor and the carnitas really didn't have any flavor. The asada fries had a lot of fries, but it felt like the ratio of fries to everything else was off. Not sure I would go back with all the other options in the area read more

I was running errands across town and it was almost dinner time. I spotted this taco joint that someone mentioned was pretty good. They have the "Special" taco that includes sour cream and Guacamole for $3.75. I decided to try one Carne Asada and a plain bean and cheese burrito $6.00 since the beans are made fresh, not canned. I paid and decided to stay and eat in their patio. Lucky for me I didn't take it to go. After a few minutes, I heard someone beside me saying, "excuse me, did you order a bean and cheese burrito." I didn't look up and decided to ignore him because I thought they were going to ask me for money!!! They walked around the partition and approached my table and asked me again. I looked up and it was Jose, the Cashier. He gave me $7 back because he mistakenly thought I ordered a Carne Asada burrito for $13. Now, that's an honest employee!! As for the food, it is authentic, tasty and worth a repeat visit. It's a small menu of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, hamburgers, and French fries. Choose your protein (Carnitas, Carne Asada, Al Pastor, or Lengua). The tacos are soft with two corn tortillas. The pack on the ingredients, you'll need a fork because one taco overflows and is more like two tacos. The burrito was on a large flour tortilla that was extra toasted on the grill to give it a slight crunch which I love. Let's give them more business, ask for honest Jose!! NOTE: This is a Cash only business. Bring $20. Sincerely yours, Rosemary read more

Taco Del Rio - Special Carne Asada Taco with Sour Cream and Guacamole, Bean and Cheese Burrito - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

Based on Yelp reviews, I had to try Taco Del Rio which happens to be in the same shopping center as the second ever Yelp Elite event that I attended (S/O to Birrieria La Suprema) What caught my eye was how the prepared their tacos and the fact that the offer an all meat burrito. And, to my surprise, they have Chili Verde as well as Asada, Carnitas, Cabeza and Al Pastor. Definitely get the Special versions of the tacos and burritos for 50 cents more. What's interesting is that they use a finely diced cabbage as part of the filling which is new to me. Could not really taste the cabbage but it adds texture. Check out my pics! read more

Came across this place because I saw someone post on IG. It has been a craving since. This place is CASH ONLY!!! Make sure to bring cash and not like me, having to use the ATM machine at the liquor store that didn't work :( Sadly the day we went, they didn't have al pastor.. Carne asada is good, but I felt like everything sort of needed more flavor. Salsa weren't as spicy as I'd prefer them to be. All meat burrito was good but I wanted just a smidge more of cabbage and onion. Service was friendly and everything was really nice. read more

Taco Del Rio - Everything taco (cabeza, lengua, pastor, and carne asada) - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

I stopped by after seeing their carne asada fries on TikTok and they definitely lived up to the hype. The portion is huge and easily enough for two meals or to split between two people. They don't skimp on the toppings. There's a generous layer of cheese melted right on top, and then all the guac and carne asada is tucked underneath so every bite has something going on. It is cash only, so make sure to come prepared. read more

Taco Del Rio - Carne Asada fries - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

CASH ONLY, EASY PARKING I've been visiting this spot since 2017 and they always manage to stay consistent and hit that spot with their tacos each time. Taco del Rio's staff are all incredibly friendly and welcoming and will always get you right each visit. My favorite thing to order are their soft tacos (I will note, prices have inflated since 2017 but that is to be expected) and they offer a variety of different meats set aside on a sign right by their menu. Our go to is the asada, and they season and cook the meet very well. Probably not typical but I also love their fries - generic but they actually slap so I would really suggest ordering a small for 4 bucks as a quick side! This spot differentiates themselves due to a lack of other toppings on their tacos besides cabbage, onion, and cheese, but I will say that is why they're special: I think it always comes together well and this spot is definitely worth a visit if you're ever in the area read more

There's parking that's shared with the other stores in the plaza. There was a line when we go the the taco stand. We got the asada fries for $16, cabeza burrito with everything for $13, lengua taco for $3. Our total came out to $32. Taxes are included with the price. You pay with cash. The asada fries was really big. It was pretty good with the green and red sauces. The burrito was very filling and delicious. The lengua taco was really good. We didn't like that the asada fries and taco came out cold. We would definitely come back and get the cabeza burrito with everything. It was so good. It would be nice if they put more meat as it was mostly beans. read more

The tacos here are super cheesy, which is a great thing for a cheese lover like me. It's CASH ONLY though so be prepared. I got lucky my mom had cash on her. It's outdoor seating only and you order via the windows. We took our food to-go and got a couple of their special tacos with different meats and a quesadilla with carne asada. The service was nice and they were pretty quick. We got lucky with a short line this time. read more

The tacos were fresh and delicious, The tortillas themselves were a little dry but still malleable so that when I bite the taco itself doesn't come apart easily. The meat was nice and tender with the sauces they put in just added an extra kick to the whole thing! I got the special taco with asada. In fairness the sauce is what saved it, the asada flavor was good but not something that makes you fo wow! the service was quick and to the point, as expected of a taco shack style spot, they really pump out the order as quickly as they can since the line was fairly long, but despite that, I didn't feel like I was bothering them or feeling like they were being pushed to an extreme work load with my order of 4 tacos and burrito, so I gotta appreciate that they atleast don't make you feel like a hindrance to their daily life. The atmosphere as a whole is as you would expect from a taco shack, everyone is either waiting in line to order their food or waiting for their food and people seem either indifferent or hungry. All in all, worth a try, tacos are tacos, gotta love the small things in life! Also note I didn't include pictures cus I was hungry and the food didn't have a chance to breathe before I stuffed my face! read more

Great food and excellent service every time! My favorite is the al pastor tacos, but everything I've tried is delicious!

Amazing!! I come here everytime I'm in the area. Great local spot and best bang for your buck. It's cash only. The cabeza is beautifully flavorful and tender. The portion size is generous. They're not like other places that'll overly charge you for add ons like guac, sour cream etc. if you ask for everything, it's about a dollar extra! You won't be disappointed. Limited outdoor seating, maybe 4 tables if you want to eat here. read more

When I'm in the area and I want cheese on my tacos yes, this is my go to spot! The Carne Asada, and al pastor are my favorites

For me ,the food always hits the spot! Of course the burritos are amongst my favorites, asada fries are always good as well. The employees are very cool nd friendly and stay professional. The line can get pretty long but they manage to keep the flow cool , the only thing that can be better is "Cash Only" it would be cool if they accepted debit.. read more

Sorry its a 2. Ask for half chicken half stake, they wanted to add $5. They do two scoops on every meat, why not get one and one. Got chicken. Kinda bland with spice. It's shredded not diced. Wife got a super burrito with stake. Stake was bland too. And had probably been sitting for awhile. But she liked th filling, all but the beans. Had fies too small. They looked crispy, but we're not as crispy as they looked. Salsa was ok nothing special. The problem was where we left we saw cockroaches on the ground outside in the seating area. Don't know if it was a one off, or many. read more

Made a stop today, the workers were nice (& patient), the environment was a little chaotic (Azusa Ave.) but the food is fantastic! The asada fries were unbelievably good & the tacos had so much meat on them. Definitely gonna be in the rotation! read more

No frills cash only spot. It's a building with a few patio tables out front. I don't come here often, although my impression is that it's reliable and open late, rain or shine. There are always at least a few customers in line. The workers are nice, and prices are fair at around $2-3 per taco, $8-9 per burrito, $10.50 for combo plates, and $13 for carne asada fries. The carne asada fries come with meat, guac, sour cream, cheese, and a drizzle of green salsa. It's good, but I do crave an element of freshness. I still like it better than the tacos though. I once took a friend here for the special tacos, which come with cheese, onion, cilantro, sour cream, and green salsa. He liked the al pastor, but he said that the chicken wasn't good. read more

Best carne asada burritos I've ever had! This is in my 50 years of life! Lol! Add guacamole. ;)

I was in the area and tik tok hyped this place up so had to try it. Got a burrito de al pastor: flavor wasn't there at all, size wise it was good for the price. Their red salsa was sweet and not spicy whatsoever. Carne asada fries: again great big portion, but again lacks in flavor. Tacos: kinda interesting that it has cabbage but the meat wasn't great. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place. read more

This is my top taco spot when I am go to work in the City of Industry. There are A LOT of taco places to choose from, but I simply like to compare a regular carne asada taco. The top priority is the taste of the meat and this place has got that down! I also like that they add cabbage and cheese to their "regular taco" along with onions, cilantro and salsa. Amazing flavor. Long lines at lunch and it's cash only! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover- the food here is delicious. While they may not have a physical seating area, there are seats so if you plan on eating here, I suggest bringing some wipes to clean the table and seats down. Otherwise, order your food and bring it home to eat. We ordered the carne asada fries and shared it between three people. Holy cow - the fries were delicious. Even after adding the salsa on top of the fries, they were still crunchy and not soggy. This was my first time eating carne asada fries and I feel like I have been missing out on life. Very good and you get a lot of food for your money. read more
