3 tacos. Al pastor/Shredded Chicken/Carne Asada. VERY GOOD!

Kevin M.

These tacos are LEGIT!. My wife and I stopped by on a weekend to get a quick bite. We were greeted warmly and met the family behind the business, German and his mom. They mentioned their tacos are "the best" and we're gonna love them and we did! We ordered 3 tacos. 1 Al pastor, 1 shredded chicken and 1 carne asada. Food came out fast and the presentation was tremendous. The tacos were loaded, sauced up and came with some jalapenos peppers. The pictures I took hope does them justice. First bites of those tacos were freaking GOOD! The food was made fresh and tasted fresh. The peppers are very spicy if you can handle heat. Each taco was so packed with flavor it's gonna warrant a return visit in the future. The 3 tacos we chose came out to about $10 total so it's very affordable and worth the plate of food. Try Taco King out here on Azusa Ave. They deliver some of the best tacos in town. Thanks, Taco King!

Best Burrito in Azusa!! Tacos are 100 amazing!!

Visiting from out of town. Found Taco king in Azusa while heading to a tournament. Boy was I glad we stopped by! Ordered a Asada Burrito and tacos de Lengua, Al pastor! Let me tell you that they are possibly the best I have tried! Comes with chips, jalapeño, 2 salsas and grilled onions!!! Spectacular is an understatement! We met the owner a really humble and amazing person! Wish I lived around the area! I would be here all the time! Definitely will pay them a visit even though I'm far away!!! DON'T MISS OUT AND COME VISIT THEM!!! Thank you Taco Kings!!!!

OMG what amazing service, made us feel right at home like family our first time here.

There used to be a Taco King in Upland and this one is totally different but just as awesome in its own way. Will for sure be our local spot from now on!!! Thank u and u are truly the King!!!

Ok, this place is growing on me. Saw a post about their hard shell beef tacos and had to try them. Stand out item for sure. Better than Pepe's IMO and closer to home! Will have to try their taquitos next time to compare, since that's my go to order there. If I had just ordered the hard shell tacos, would have been five stars for sure, but I tried their soft tacos and they were just ok. Asada, chicken and carnitas. Good, but definitely had better. They have so many items on their menu, probably hard to make everything fresh. The other issue I had was that I ordered two beef hard shell, but got one potato and one beef. Potato is not a favorite of mine in tacos. On the plus side, they add grilled onions and jalapeños on the side! German is a great guy and I know it was probably an innocent mistake, so no biggie. The spicy red sauce is perfect for the hard shell tacos. Mix it with the red salsa and you're in for a treat. Now that I have a go to item here, will definitely try to stop by more often and in person!

Randomly found on yelp while scrolling and just by the looks of the food I knew it was going to be bomb, and it was definitely amazing, great customer service, very friendly. My dad is the pickiest eater ever he only eats what my abuelitas makes and he even said he wanted to bring her here to try bc it was that good! Will definitely be coming back and recommending! It's a very cute spot on the corner only outside seating but we still enjoyed it way better than most restaurants we've been too

The owner, German (Herman) is great. His attention to detail, his customer service, his love of his restaurant is amazing. And the food is really good. He was very helpful being we never been there before. He asked questions about us, and seemed genuinely interested in knowing who we were. Made me feel like I knew him since we were kids. The food. The chips with beans and cheese were delicious. He offered to make them while we waited. I initially said no thank you but quickly changed my mind. I'd come back just for them. They were so simple yet so delicious. Their beans are super creamy. Their green salsa is made in house(as is everything) and is served warm. The tacos were really tasty. My favorites were the carnitas and the lengua. The Al pastor and asada were good as well. The tortillas were soft and fresh. The bean and cheese burrito was why I came. I saw a woman on TikTok eating it and said it was one of her favorits. She did a series on the best bean and cheese burritos. I think her review was #104 with taco king. And I agree with her. It was really good. It is top 3 for me. I'm going to try it with their enchilada sauce inside the burrito next time. German's customer service alone would bring me back here. Just to support his business. But the food being good as well? Even better lol. Give it a try. And be honest with him. If there is something you order that you don't like or think could be better, tell him. He wants to be the best. With our help and support, he's on his way to becoming just that.

The Lengua Burrito was Bomb! Service was Great! Food came out pretty quick but not lacking in flavor at all. Ambience was pretty chill It was early and people started to roll in. Thx again Guys ~ Mo from Vegas

AMAZING Agua Frescas. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. I highly recommend this place.

I encountered the owner who handed me a life changing wet carne asada burrito. It was topped with what appeared to be a mole sauce. The meat chunks were nice and full, instead of fatty like other places. The mole flavor was an explosion of savory, Smokey, the perfect balance between sweet. I'll have to come back here. I was offered a tamarindo drink but I will have to try another time. Heard they're amazing here. Excellent customer service and a family unit. They take pride here in their legacy

Some of the best Chile quilles I've had, came with 3 eggs and a side off bean and rice. Family owned business and the mother and son duo were so friendly. Service was good and outside seating was clean. Can't wait to try their crunchy tacos next.

After seeing this spot on Hungry4munchies IG, I decided to give them a try. I will drive anywhere for a good crunchy hard taco. So I'll start with the food. The food is good. Is it the best I've ever had? No. But it's definitely good. I went for the shredded beef tacos, but was told that they only had chicken, which was a disappointment. The taco itself wasn't a disappointment. The chicken could've had a little more seasoning, but the salsa was good and it made up what was lacking. We also had asada and carnitas tacos. Both were good, the tortillas were top notch, but I'd still say the flavor was lacking a bit without the salsa. We wanted to get agua fresca, but were told that the only drink they had available was 7UP. But as we waiting for our food, we saw people getting their orders with agua frescas, so we went back and asked again. We were told they did have them, but only in available for large. She then said, we don't have large cups, you have to buy 2 mediums. We just wanted 1 medium. We asked could 1 just buy 1 medium and she said no, because there were no lids or something to that effect. That was confusing. When we picked up our order, she did end up giving us an agua fresca on the house, and that was very nice of her. It was VERY good too. Not overly sweet and very refreshing. My only other issue is that the salsa cups didn't have lids. They were wrapped in plastic wrap, which spilled once they were in the bag, and that was kind of a bummer. I would suggest if you're in a hurry to call ahead. The wait is kind of long, and that way you can find out if they have what you're looking for. I'll definitely be back to try the beef tacos at some point. I would also suggest to the owners, if you're out of a bunch of stuff, keep it updated on your IG. And maybe utilize containers for the tacos. We were on the go and eating off of the foil wasnt ideal!

During this trip, I got the "carne asada" burrito and 5 fish tacos with grilled peppers and onions on top paired with a strawberry agua frescas. I also went on wednesday where they have fish tacos for $1.99 each. The food was pretty good! I enjoyed the fish tacos. It had great seasoning, a light crisp but not soggy and ample toppings on top. Also amazing to pair with their grilled jalapenos and onions. I'd definitely recommend getting it on wednesdays for their deal. Their strawberry agua frescas was refreshing and I liked the nice addition with the mint. I liked all the nice toppings like the strawberries and lemon on top. Although, it does come at a hefty price of $11. While I understand it's made fresh, it's still a bit expensive (I'd still get it though since its getting hotter these days). I don't know if Taco King does it differently but I ordered a carne asada burrito but got something that didn't look like asada? I may be wrong but carne asada isn't shredded meat. I think I may have received a different burrito. Anyways, I still thought that the shredded beef burrito was okay. I think what it could've used was a bit more marinating liquid. So that its nice and juicy with every bite. Also would recommend adding onions and cilantro in there as well (i don't know if it's an option or not). Their salsas are also decent. The red habanero(?) salsa was definitely spicy but not the worst. Good habanero flavor though. The verde salsas were nice and paired well with the tacos. Personally I like a roasted tomatillo salsa or a roasted tomato salsa over any other salsa. I don't know the exact prices of each item since the receipt wasn't itemized and most of the menu had stickers over the prices but if I were to give a rough guess: Strawberry agua frescas - $11 "carne asada" burrito - $12 Each fish taco - $2 Credit card fee - $1 Total - $34 Overall, this local spot is ALOT better than most of the other places in the area so I would definitely come back. I would probably get the wet burrito that I had from the first time I was here since it was really good. I would try out their weekly specials to get an introduction to the food they have to offer.

WOW my fiancé and I are so happy we found this place! We've been looking for an authentic Mexican spot, this is it! The food is very delicious and flavorful, tender meats!! Agua Fresca is so refreshing & yummy! It's a family owned business and their hospitality is so wonderful too. Can't wait to try all the things!

It's the best taco place in Azusa. Great food, great atmosphere, and the friendliest people out there. Their food is freshly made and never will be served cold. My favorite is their crinkly fries, which are made with pure crunchy and savory taste. It's worth the try at this family owned business. Everyone should visit when they spot it. read more

I would double check some of the prices with them since some signage is outdated, but they're there to help. Carnitas hit the spot! And their asada hits little different. Their cucumber drink was refreshing and pineapple drink was smooth. Would recommend, support this small business! (Also part of T-Mobile dining rewards if you're participating) read more

I had the asada and Al pastor street tacos. The meat did not taste good. Asada was mainly all fat and the Al pastor didn't taste good at all. The marinate was gross. It's always a red flag when you go to place and see they make burgers, tacos, and fish tacos. Too much going on. Focus on one thing. I love spicy food but the red Chile on the Al pastor tacos was way to spicy. You should always put chile on the side. The tortillas tasted store bought. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

MY NEW GO-to SPOT. FOOD - I had the asada burrito. It was quality meat with good portions. The rice and beans were cooked to perfection. They gave plenty of salsa. It was nice because most taco places are skimp with salsa. This place is not. They have mild and spicy salsas. - Chicken was falling off the bone and was crispy. I need a place like this closer to where I live. I'd come more often. - Agua Chiles - even though they didn't have it on the menu, they still make it and boy was it delicious. It was make just right. Kudos to the chief. He is amazing. SERVICE - probably the best service I've had in a very long time. 11 out of 10. Make me feel at home and wanted to try everything before I ate it. It was awesome. There need to be more people and places like this. I'd go back in a heart beat. read more

I was on the hunt to find a place that made amazing fish tacos and boy did I find one and more. Tucked away by the canyons in the city of Azusa Taco King truly lives up to their name. Ordered the fish, carnitas, and Al Pastor tacos. Their tacos were truly delicious and packed with flavor. The carnitas was meaty and so juicy and tender. The AL Pastor was well marinated, full of flavor and was super juicy and tender as well. The star of the three for me was the fish Taco. Came out super fresh and crunchy loaded with veggies and topped with their white sauce. It was soooooo good. My first bite had my eyes rolled back. What's even more impressive at Taco King was their genuine love for feeding people. German the big boss man and owner was just genuinely the nicest guy on earth. He treated us like family and served us up with more food than we ordered. Who does that? I know, Taco King German! He is truly a reflection of his parents who have been serving me with their famous burrito since I was a kid in the 90's at Garduno's in Baldwin Park which I just found out. Come to this family owned restaurant and be treated like family. And just to throw this out there i witnessed Herman serve free food to a couple of homeless people. He treated them with respect. What an example of how we all should treat each other. Thank you Taco King I will be back. Get those fish tacos ready! read more

Sorry but not sorry. Just ordered their 5 fish tacos and 1 carne asada taco. I must say they get 4.5 stars on presentation and taste. But I ordered fish tacos not vegan tacos! It was mainly breading very little fish; to my disappointment; hence the Yelp reviews this place has! My fellow yelpers... you let me down with this. Other than that the carne asada taco was ok, and I really like the spicy red sauce! Luckily I came on Wednesday and the tacos were $1.25 each. Taco King please take note and fix! read more

I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.

The meat was cut in tiny pieces. We also had the chilaquilicious chilaquiles which consisted of the chilaquiles with carne asada, bacon and eggs. 1/2 salsa roja and 1/2 salsa verde. The portion was good, however the green salsa can use more flavor. It seemed plain. The red one was better for my taste, it had a Smokey chipotle flavor. Not hot at all. The carne asada could use more salt or seasoning too, seemed a little plain. We tried their salsa macha (chili oil) omg soooo goood and the perfect amount of spiciness. We took home what we didn't finish. I hate wasting something so delicious. Overall a solid 4.

Capirotada (bread pudding with peanuts & raisins in syrup) $10. We also had Enchiladas in Poblano Mole. Each entree included a cup of Fideo soup, a side of rice and beans. I could not resist the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee brewed with a cinnamon stick), this was served with two cookies in a ceramic mug. This is how you would be served in someone's home.

Taco Kings isn't just a local spot -- it's a community asset operating at a caliber far above standard quick-service dining. The operational discipline, food quality, and customer-engagement model here reflect a team fully invested in its product and its patrons. Let's get direct: the hard-shell tacos are out of this world. Perfect structural crunch, zero grease saturation, and a flavor profile that hits every operational metric -- seasoned protein, crisp lettuce, fresh pico, and a cheddar blend that actually elevates the bite. These aren't your typical brittle, underfilled hard tacos. These are premium, high-yield, high-impact tacos that set the standard for the region. Beverage operations also exceed expectations. Their pineapple frescas and cucumber-mint frescas are the best your taste buds can experience -- bright, refreshing, and demonstrating exceptional attention to fresh ingredients and consistent batch quality. These drinks outperform anything in the local market and pair perfectly with the food program. Service delivery is high-touch and authentic. Ownership is on-site, engaged, and clearly proud of the establishment's "Neighborhood Fave" designation. Their presence reinforces a culture of consistency, cleanliness, and genuine hospitality. In summary, Taco Kings is the gold standard in Azusa. If you want elite-tier hard shell tacos, this is the only address you need. read more

Taco King Azusa is a one-of-a-kind establishment that is ran by a young man named German, he has a heart of gold and has nothing but love and respect for the city of Azusa and the community. The food is absolutely delicious!! Great prices, many options, delicious agua frescas and the famous horchata shake!! What sets this restaurant apart from other Mexican restaurants is the fact that German goes above and beyond to take care of his community members, he started a pre paid type of program where customers can purchase a taco or burrito or chicken dinner and he will then allow customers to come and receive these free items if they are in need no questions asked, he's also offered to help individuals in need via his social media pages. I highly recommend paying taco King Azusa a visit you won't regret it! read more

Stopped by this restaurant around 5:00 PM, well before their posted closing time of 7:00 PM, but the cashier told us only tacos were available because they were "closing soon." That was already disappointing, but the food didn't make up for it. The rice was gross and mushy, definitely not fresh. The crunchy tacos barely had any meat in them. For what we got, the total came to $35...way too high for the quality. Prices for food items were NOT listed on their menu and a receipt was not given. Overall, the experience felt rushed, overpriced, and low quality. Would not recommend stopping by, especially if you're expecting a full menu or decent value. read more

Today, I had the delightful opportunity to experience Taco King in Azusa, CA. The exceptional service and friendly staff made me feel welcomed. Their tacos were nothing short of delicious, satisfying the craving. However, what truly stole the show was their exquisite Agua Frescas! Each one was freshly made, vibrant and bursting with flavor. My top picks were the Pineapple Agua Fresca (right of photo) -for its tropical sweetness- and the Cucumber Mint (middle)- for its cool refreshing taste, plus unique flavor. I will definitely be returning here for more! read more

My parents love this place and frequent it often. They told me the staff were great and the food was excellent too-- they were so right. Germán and Geraldo took such good care of us. I'll need to visit more often just so I can eat here again! read more
