Real authentic mexican food. However, DIRTIEST RESTAURANT IVE EVER BEEN TO. From the kitchen to the dining area, nothing is clean for the both times i went. If you dont mind that, then give it a shot. Restaurant is never empty despite its dirtiness. Also, they never close! read more

Great food and service. I found a good spot for Mexican food in the South Bay. I am quite picky, when it comes to Mexican food. It has to be very good then I will return. They do serve good portions and I do walk out of there satisfied. The prices are very reasonable also. A repeat. read more

When I moved to the South Bay 4 years ago, after months of searching we gave up on finding a good burrito/taco spot, or we drove back to LA... Until a good friend recommended Tacos Sinaloa... Thank you Jenny! We went back so often the first few months it got embarrassing. Definitely recommend this place. read more

It is so unorganized. Tables always dirty. And cashier doesn't really have a clue what was going on. Food is decent enough but it'll be some time before I eat here intentionally again. read more

By far the best! I always get the carne asada tacos and wet burrito. It's seasoned perfectly, and never ever bland compared to other places I've eaten at. This is the truest authentic mexican food you can get in the South Bay. read more

Go to hang out place. Tacos, sopes, ceviche, beer, music. And a never ending line... you know the foods good if the lines always out the door. Haven't had anything I don't like so far. Place is a bit run down but the food speaks for itself. read more

Taco Sinaloa - Mexican Near Me - Torrance, California

By far the worst mexican food I have ever tasted! I am a hard core taco lover and was in the area to look for some bomb tacos. Yelped showed a bunch of reviews that seemed pretty decent. Most hole in the wall spots are known to taste phenomenal but this place was more so taste less. Yes, cheap but not worth it. Drive a mile down towards PCH to get some decent tasteful tacos for the same price! read more

Great food but a dangerous place to eat. The Asada is on point! You will have crackheads and gangsters come inside the restaurant with a fight INSIDE the restaurant every now and then. Just look up the videos on YouTube and you will find "taco Sinaloa fights in Torrance." If you don't mind the occasional Eastside Torrance or West and East side Wilmas gang members eating next to you, then come and try one of the best tacos in the South Bay. You may also get lucky and have a live UFC fight right in front of you as you eat! You know it's sketchy when the cashier says, "Thank you, enjoy your food, be safe!" Haha read more

Soo bomb I love this place. .. The food is excellent. Best hard shell tacos after hrs the tacit o's are on point. The chicken burritos are the best. read more

Best place to go eat after work when you get off late from work!!! Always come with co workers to get some amazing carne asada tacos, shrimp tostadas, bomb carne asada fries, finished with a AMAZINGLY all meat burrito. Also comes with lime,radish and various hot sauces like their regular red hot sauces or nice salsa verde. So if you get off work late or just coming back late somewhere this is the place to be! read more

I love this place. I go there like once a week. It says its not a place for kids, but to tell you the truth it can be. My 4 yr old son is Korean Filipino and he eats here. I mean there's not that many choices for kids but i recommend the chicken quesedilla or the burrito of course with no hot sauce, cilantro, or onions. I use to live couple blocks from there and that's how i found out about the place and now i live an hour away, but i still go there as much as I can. The Neighborhood isn't so great. But it's not really a dangerous place. I ate there during the day and late night. And nothing happened to me so far lol. Ill tell you though weekends are the busiest. You guys should try something that isn't on the menu. Its called Carne Asada Fries. Its fries smothered in meat, cheese, beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole. This place is the real stuff not no taco bell. This is REAL Mexican Food. Oh and don't waste your money on the claw machine you will never win. I tried that machine many times and the claw is just loose every-time =). read more

I love this place!! So good!! I love that they it's 24hrs. I get off work late sometime and I know I could get some really good food here! I love that you could get as much hot sauce and the other stuff as you want. The places isn't the prettiest, you have all the dishes piled next to the trash can. But I love that their chips is nice and thin! read more

Been a long time return customer of Taco Sinaloa going on 15 years. I do not frequent this place because I like clean restrooms or a safe environment. I return because the burritos, seafood, flautas and tacos are EXCELLENT and consistent and they're open late. After 15 years I have never had one issue with the food. I've seen fights happen INSIDE the restaurant, guns and knives pulled on people in the parking lot, fights in the parking lot and even a shooting or two right out front (no one injured, thank god. I don't mind living on the wild side a little so I've returned after a sebattical). But again, never an issue with the food, the food has always been great. Not this time. My gf ordered the usual campechana (shrimp cocktail with octopus and other various seafood mixed in a sort of watery tomato sauce, they're seafood is a staple of the restaurant) and I had a carne Asada burrito. Burrito was stellar as usual but my gf said something tasted funny in the campechana. I tried it and noticed an overwhelming zinc taste coming from the octopus. My gf decided to return her food. The cashier gentleman asked her what she wanted to do and she requested a refund which made him angry. He decided to tell her next time she comes "do not order seafood" because nothing was wrong with the octopus, they sell it all the time and she was wrong. Rude. The reason we went was because my gf wanted a campechana, which she always orders and the cashier responds in such a way? Telling her not to order her favorite dish from her favorite Mexican food joint? Blatant disrespect. Now they did refund our money which is why they get two stars. But after enduring years of dirty restrooms and tables and a few entertaining fights, hearing bullets fired off and loud patrons, THIS WAS IT. Now they are patronizing my GF's integrity? Calling her a liar? That is BS. These people need some classes on how to treat the lifeblood of their business. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING AFTER 15 YEARS OF LOYALTY. I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME IF YOU CHERISH YOUR LIFE. read more

Taco Sinaloa a love hate relationship second time here and they are rude and food has sort of gone downhill. Ordered oysters and they were horrible do not get them. Tacos are always good but there hot salsa has gone downhill taste like eating metal now. read more

I had lunch with my colleague at TS cuz he wanted to try the place out... I ordered the two tacos combo. Rice n beans were just ok. Beef tacos were just ok. The meat wasn't great quality. Lots of chewy fat n im just not a fan of chewy fatty meat. read more

It's the "King Taco" of the South Bay. I personally think their Carne Asada Taco & Quesadilla and red sauce is better than King Taco/El Taurino, but find out for yourself. It's my go-to joint in Torrance and I go at least once a week. read more

I bleed red sauce. I breathe green sauce. I poop carne asada. This is my favorite go-to place Mexican spot this side of the border.

If you want a place of unique ambiance, then Taco Sinaloa does not fail. Whether it be the grimey walls, sketchy location, or the ragtag staff, this taco place holds it own for remaining true to themselves. They are not customer friendly and they could honestly care less that they arent, which somehow creates its own sense of charm. Just order your food and enjoy your time. In regards to food, the combo plate is recommended. For tacos: 1. Asada 2. Pescado 3. Al pastor 4. Tripitas Sidenotes/Miscellaneous: - Open 24/7 - Jukebox is loud, annoying, and amazing lol read more

This place may look a little shady once you walk in. But don't let that discourage you. The food is delicious. I don't ever order "gorditas" but something inside told me to be a rebel. I ordered a gordita with al pastor. Damn! It was bomb! All that was missing was a beer. But I couldn't cause i was on my lunch break. lol read more

after getting super wasted me and some buddies end up here at the crack of dawn munching on all the yummy fatty greasy goodness this fine establishment has to offer... sure as hell beats fast food joints such as bk or mcds or taco bell and its an alternative to your average ihop/dennys...the place looks a bit dingy but the food is something else and is really really cheap carne asada quesadillas are my choice, but the boyfriend gets tacos and everyone else usually gets burritos or whatever their drunken butts are craving food is always consistent morning/night and ive gone sober so i know..haha so if you havent given this place a try you should go especially when you get the munchies after a long night of partying like a rockstar ;] read more

Ghetto Ass Place. It's open 24/7...However On New Years, They were closed... But anyways I have only ordered tacos here. Never tried the carne asada that everyone's talking about. I usually get Lengua, Cabeche, Al Pastor, & Carnitas. Do not try the tripas or buche...No bueno. Doesn't fill me up. But it's good and inexpensive. read more

Short and simple review: Their food is bomb! I live kinda nearby and this is thee place to eat some money's worth Mexican food. Great for late night. Must go when you got the munchies! read more

Once upon a time I was at a party with a bunch of friends when we all decided we were craving Mexican food. Being that it was around 2am at this point we were stoked to see that Taco Sinaloa was open 24 hours, and let me tell you... It did not disappoint. We arrived around 2:30am and the place was PACKED! The line was very long but it moved along pretty quick. The food took a little bit but you can understand why. When we got our feast, it was delicious! Needless to say this late night/early morning trip was a success! read more

This place is a real hole in the wall but the food is awesome. This place is always busy no matter what time you go. It's also a 24 hour joint so that's always a plus after a night of dancing. Anyway, food's awesome. Their salsa (especially the red salsa) is the best I've had so far. I wish there was a Taco Sinaloa near where I live. :( read more

This place is not fancy but the food is decent. Good food for pre or post drinking. Carne asada fries always.

Ok asada fries. Would only come again if I'm in the area but not enough to make me travel city through city to come back. I've had better fries. Wasn't too crowded upon entering. They cook food in good enough time. Mixed crowd. Can't miss the building. Cashier was soft spoken, not really smiling or inviting. It was clean. Really nothing else to it. read more

Taco Sinaloa - Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - Torrance, California

Pretty legit if u are craving tacos, burritos and mexican food! Another hole in the wall, w plenty of parking on a saturday (i think the pho place next door closes sat because of how busy this place is) always a long line, food comes in a timely manner, and food is pretty bomb!!! read more

It was a cold night in Los Angeles, I stood waiting at the arrivals gate deep in the heart of LAX. It was almost midnight. The arrivals gate at an airport is a funny place that can be absolutely empty for hours, just you and in the corner a security guard almost nodding off to the rhythmic thump-thumping of the cars hitting a pot-hole just outside the sliding doors. And suddenly, a wall of people come pouring in, still half-asleep up from their flight almost oblivious to you patiently searching for one head in the crowd, bumping shoulders bouncing between you and anybody else who stands in their way, like a pinball machine, and you even brace for the collision, reaffirming the pinball look by bouncing them back in the opposite direction. This time it wasn't me alone, I brought along two of my siblings and a friend. My kid brother was flying in from Houston after a strange two and a half year absence, he calls it a move, but I somehow felt it was a temporary event in his life, like several others in his past. This time he was coming home to stay, and either escape the clutches of a bad relationship or maybe just get some space between him and his girlfriend of nearly ten years. It was a warm welcoming, we were happy to see him and hugs went all around. Kid Brother wanted to see his new nice who is already 1 months whom he had only seen twice at this point. I wanted to get home to my wife and baby, but the brothers had a different plan, we needed some real authentic Los Angeles Mexican food. The Older Brother has become a frequenter of Tacos Sinaloa and demanded we all eat there, immediately. Since he was driving I really couldn't argue with him. I put up a small fight but cabeza tacos really sounded good. Older Brother had discovered the place one night after a Classical Underground show at a nearby art studio. Classical Underground is a small private event that takes place once a month in the home of an exuberant, boisterous Russian painter who has a passion for classical music. Typically a patron will enjoy the music and top-off with a little too much french wine or craft beer and head over to Tacos Sinaloa afterwards. Unfortunately Older Brother couldn't remember how to get there without the help of live classical music, art, and a fine french champagne. So of course we needed to pick-up the Russian artist to help get us there. It has become late in the evening and somehow a short visit turned into a debate about Russian politics, Peace prizes, and the cost of security for the president at overseas events while enjoying some fine tea spiked with Rum. I am still wondering if Dmitry Medvedev is the best or worst thing to happen to Russia since the collapse of the Soviets. Now early into the morning hours we finally set-off to Tacos Sinaloa where we enjoyed delicious Tongue & Cheek tacos at a very reasonable price while listening to Ramone Ayala on the juke box. read more

I've been coming here for.... let's see, since 99'. This place is the bomb! Im eating it as we speak.. its so good the only thing i ever get is the al pastor tacos and all meat carne asada tacos. .. the pickled carrots is the BOMB read more

Tacos aren't anything special and carne Asada fries are heavy and overrated. No need for me to come back.

Open 24hours, this place is classic. I've only been at night when its frequented by drunk Torrance locals so I'm not sure how it is during normal hours but if you're in Torrance around 2am this place is a must! I recommend the taco burrito combo with a side order of carne asada fries. The fries arent on the menu but they will make them for you if you ask. This place also used to serve beer after hours but I think they got busted since they stopped doing that. Oh well, still a nice place to pig out on the way home from the bars. read more

They have really good carnitas burritos here as well as lemonade. This place has been around for more than 20 years. It has always been good. They also have good combination plate deals. They do have a drive thru. Check it out read more

This place is by far the best i have had in torrance for Mexican food however there are not that many options. The Carne Asada fries are Bombdiggity. I would come here for those any day. I had a bean and meat burrito and i was very disappointed. It was pretty much all beans and a little bit of meat. All i could taste is the beans ... not so good. Overall it was good but i have had much better. read more

Wanted something Mexican but fast and good... Was in the area since this place had 4 stars figured I could not lose... Boy was I wrong I ordered hard shell asada taco (no flavor) carne asada fries once again (no flavor) better half ordered steak with eggs I probably should of asked how it was prepared because when I saw it .... Ugh it was cut up carne asada with the the egg scrambled in it...once again (no flavor) we both disliked our food and left just about all the carne asada fries. The place was not very clean and trust and believe I have eaten at some hole in the wall, shady looking places and the food is great but not this place it was not good at all. read more

The seafood is the winner here. I recommend the shrimp and fish. You can tell they hand battered these babies, no preformed shaped fish here. The batter is crispy and seasoned, and the fish flakes apart with each bite. It's garnished with the usual suspects (onions and cilantro), and also an avocado crema sauce that's so good, you almost don't need to add hot sauce. My suggestion? Two or three of these as a meal. read more

I love this place! If you're hungry in the middle of the night for Mexican Food, definitely come here! I always get their Carne Asada fries or tacos! So good! read more

The worst experiance ever. When I picked up the Chilaquiles I order! The person thought it was funny to say!! Pick up your crappy Chilaquiles in spanish not knowing That I am 100% mexican and fluent in speaking spanish! The chilaquiles or tortilla soup more like it were awfull my wifes eggs were burnt and over cooked! I asked for cilantro he told me the only have a cilantro and onion mix don't have by itself!! I always loved there tacos, but I will never go there again! I lived in Carson all my life! I hate to drive to San Pedro to get good Chilaquiles (Marias on 22nd street)! I can make the Chiaquiles myself !! The workers at Tacos Sinaloa don't care about customer Service or the food they serve read more

boy am i glad to find this place. i've pretty much moved down to the south bay area, and have been looking for a good taco joint. first three tacos i ordered were: lengua, trippa, and sesos (tongue, tripe and brains). all three were great. lengua was moist and juicy. trippa was fried and dripping with fatty goodness. it was my first time eating a sesos tacos (although i've had the likes of indonesian brain curry before). on it's own, a piece of sesos had a little bit of a funk. but in the taco, it blended with all their ingredients (like onions and cilantro) really well. all and all, very satisfying three tacos. just to check, i also ordered al pastor (marinated pork) and pescado (fish). and they were both like, meh. i've definitely had better. al pastor was a bit dry and pescado was quite funky -- definitely old fish. if the price point was better, i would probably still give them five stars. but right now they're somewhere between 3 and 4 for me. but 4 because they serve funky parts. i have to go back and try their menudos on the weekend. read more

If you're a late night type of person or a drinker and live in the Torrance area.. You've without a doubt have had Sinaloa at some point (whether or not you remember it is something I can't help you with). Let's talk about the basics: Sinaloa is known as the late night Mexican food joint. It has it's own private lot that can on most nights get pretty packed but people tend to get in and get out. The inside I your typical not-so-clean-but-I'm-down-to-eat-here kind of place. The tables are always dirty and the trash cans are always overflowing. And I want to say 3/5 times there will be some drunk guy feeding the jukebox and blasting on mariachi music on max. The food: is not the best Mexican food I've had or the best in town, but for being accessible after a long night of drinking it's pretty much amazing. It is however a tad over priced, then again you could go to taco bell/del taco down the street. My favorite: Chicken hard taco -- it's going to be the death of me. Everytime I go here I have to. It's a must. Tender chicken, crunchy taco topped of with chopped lettuce, salsa, cheese and a gallop of sour cream. Tip: I would suggest going here to eat past 4am if you're sober. You can really taste the 4am in your food if you know what I mean. *Side note: it's SELF SERVICE. So it'd make sense to service yourselves. It's really disgusting how people just leave their dirty plates and food crap all over the tables. It wouldn't kill you drunks to be a little considerate for the other drunks and non-drunks that will eat at that table after you. It's rude and disgusting. read more

Well, I've never been there late in the night... so haven't seen many drunken people. I was there last night around 9:00PM... loud music and all kinds of hungry people in line. Good food... especially their tacos... yum. I think it compares to El Taurino in LA or King Taco... read more
