    Solid choice for a burrito. The pork adobada burrito is sizeable, not greasy, and has good (not great) flavor. Typical modern taco joint vibe, sort of trying to seem "authentic" with lots of signs in Spanish, but the food definitely plays to the crowd of office workers and such that are all over this place. $14 is no screaming deal, but sadly typical for new school Mexican these days. Definitely fine for stopping by, but not really worth trekking for.

    Deluxe Trio con todo - tripa extra crispy, adobada and lengua
    Eddie D.

    Tried Tacomasa and ordered the Deluxe Trio con todo -- extra crispy tripa, lengua, and adobada. The standout for me was definitely the tripa. Super crispy with great texture and flavor without being overly greasy. The lengua was tender, and the adobada had a nice flavor too. Overall, the tacos were solid and satisfying, and the aguas frescas are amazing. Came back again and got the Deluxe Trio one more time -- had the tripas again and also tried the asada. Tripas is still my favorite, but the asada was pretty good too.

    Now I remember why I'm not so crazy about the Mexican food in the Bay Area -- it's because of places like this. What might seem like regular tacos around here would absolutely blow the mind of someone from San Francisco, I guess it's like eating pizza in NY. The tacos were delicious and came with all the right accoutrements. I'd definitely love to return, but there are just too many great food spots left to explore. BB

    Vampiro with lengua and a sandia agua fresca

    Tacomasa is a vibe. Although it is located in a strip mall in El Segundo, upon entering I just knew this was going to be good! From start to finish the experience at Tacomasa was positive. The cashier was helpful, friendly, and efficient. We ordered an Al pastor burrito, a vampiro with lengua, and agua fresca. Food-wise Tacomasa is good for a strip mall eatery. While I didn't try the Al pastor burrito (4/5) my cousin gobbled it up and kept saying the pork is so tasty! So I think it must've been pretty tasty. I had the vampiro with lengua (3/5) and it was well made but needed some seasoning. I did pour on both salsas which elevated it a lot. It was yummy but I wish I ordered a taco. The agua fresca station was an awesome touch in my opinion. I loved it! And the agua fresca was spot on. Though I wish they refilled it more often because certain ones ran very low. The interior is modern taco shop. I wish they cleaned the tables more often because ours needed a good wipe down. The huge free parking lot was great too. Would I return? Yes! It's close to LAX and a great option for an after flight meal. LOCATION: 5/5 FOOD: 4/5 SERVICE:5/5 VALUE:5/5 AMBIANCE:4/5 PET FRIENDLY:outside tables CLEANLINESS: 3/5 PARKING:5/5

    I finally got to try Tacomasa! I've seen videos and read great things about their Tijuana-style tacos. It's super easy to order, whether you go online or at the counter. I went with the carne asada burrito and had to try the pastor taco. The "con todo" taco has onion, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa. The burrito was good, but I think they could have packed it in a bit more since there was a lot of tortilla in the folds. They have lots of drinks, like Pepsi and agua fresca. You can stand and eat or there are a lot of spots outside. I thought the food would be here quicker since it wasn't too busy. Tacomasa also does catering, which is great for businesses in the area.

    Adobada and lengua tacos
    Michelle H.

    Nothing out of the ordinary for tacos. The place was very clean and they have standing tables and tables to eat at. Food was made fast and great service. The tacos didnt have that much toppings. Very sparse with the cilantro and onions. Flavor wise, it was okay, it is not worth the price you are paying.

    Asada fries
    Jessica M.

    The service is 10/10. You are immediately welcomed with a large cheerful greeting from staff. I think the cashier was ricky and he seemed really nice and helpful especially to the person in front of us who had addition questions. I will say that i considered the portions to be generous. The pollo asado was juicy as well as the carne asada. The asada fries came with skinny fries but got cold as the cheese couldn't melt on the order. And it came with a salsa on it that I didnt enjoy. Other than the salsa i would say the fries were alright. However my favorite item in the establishment was actually the agua fresca. They gave a variety of delicious flavors. My favorites being watermelon and the cucumber pineaplme aguas. The quality of the carne asada was great quality but i felt that it was a bit bland. I felt the same about the salsas. None had a true kick and i hated wasting them. Just my personal opinion but i was disappointed they didn't have anything spicier that came with the food.

    First time eating at Tacomasa and it was great! We had their chicken, steak and pork tacos and carne asada fries. Their tacos were really good! Appreciated how much meat they put on it! Carne asada was just okay though. Nothing special to it and wish there were more toppings? The fries seemed like it was out there for a while. Service was great! Workers were really nice and the restaurant was very clean!! Overall a great place to get your taco fix!

    This place never disappoints! The experience with the service they provide is incredible. Not to mention the food... AMAZING AMAZINGLY. True authentic Mexican tacos and burritos! The music and place is always clean! I give Tacomasa A++++

    Deluxe trio, 1 carne asada and 2 chicken quesatacos
    Thaila N.

    Came here as I wanted to get Mexican food before leaving California! After ordering, the food service was slow. It seemed like they were prioritizing online orders. The portion for the deluxe trio quesatacos is pretty large, I wasn't able to finish it! The taco tortillas are big and they put a lottt of meat. I didn't really like the carne asada because the pieces of meat were too big and chewy. I LOVED the chicken though! The chicken was super flavorful and juicy. And definitely a bonus that they have chicken as an option, because a lot of taco places don't. The guacamole was a little mushy and more like a spread. It had a noticeable acidic flavor, which I enjoyed. I wasn't really a fan of the side salsas (green or red) because they were both too spicy for me, but my boyfriend loved the green one. I like that they have different sizes for the sides of beans and rice. There is ample parking and clean bathrooms. The store has more standing tables and not many seats, which I didn't mind. This a good option for Mexican food prior to heading to the airport.

    Adobada (pork) torta - delicious.
    Charrise L.

    Heard a lot about this place and I finally had a chance to try it. You know this place is busy when they have a blocked pathway for orders and for exiting. The clerk was very helpful answering my questions. I ordered the adobada (pork) torta. When you give a tip, the clerk rings a bell and the entire staff yells out THANK YOU! So cute!!! The food arrives fast and hot. The torta bread was so soft and fresh. The meat had a nice gravy and was delicious. I will definitely return soon. Ok, bye.

I stopped in to Guisados and ordered the Chuleta con Chile Verde - pork chop in chile verde with crema, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeño over scrambled eggs. My wife ordered the Mexicana - diced tomato, onions, and jalapeño scrambled with eggs and topped with salsa and queso amarillo. We took them to go since we were almost back to the car. By the time I got home, I was pretty hungry. When I opened the bag, I found what were essentially kid sized burritos. Even my wife immediately commented on how small they were. Definitely one of the smallest burritos I have ever had. The flavor was good, actually very good, and the sauce was solid. Unfortunately that was also portioned light, with the container only about half full. No chips with the burritos, and they were $10.50 each, which was higher than the listed online price. Bottom line, the taste delivers but the portion does not. Barely three stars

This is hands down my favorite place to bring out-of-town friends when I want them to experience legit birria tacos. It never disappoints. The vibe is welcoming from the moment you walk in--the staff are friendly and greet you right at the entrance, which always sets the tone for a great visit. Whether you're a first-timer or already a birria fan, this place is a must-try. Just be ready to crave it again the next day.

    This review is about Tacos El Goloso, located at 1605 Pacific Coast Hwy, Harbor City, CA…read more My daughter is an EMT. While on duty, she stopped at this location and placed an order. Before her food was ready, she received an emergency call and had to leave immediately. That's the reality of being a first responder--when a call comes in, you leave immediately, no time to wait for your meal. Before leaving, she politely asked the cashier to cancel the order and refund her card. Instead of showing understanding or offering assistance, the cashier was dismissive and unhelpful. After completing the call, my daughter contacted the restaurant, apologized for the inconvenience, and again requested a refund. She was initially told that the receipt had been thrown away. Later, the receipt was apparently found, but she was then informed that if she wanted a refund--or even the food she had paid for--she would have to return to the location in person. The problem is that she lives more than an hour away and was only in the area because she was working. I called the following day in an attempt to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, I was met with the same attitude. The employee refused to provide her name, refused to provide a manager's name, and refused to provide any contact information for someone who could address the complaint. To be clear, this is not about the cost of a meal. Had the employee been courteous, professional, or even remotely helpful, we likely would have let the matter go. Emergencies happen. Schedules change. We understand that. What prompted this review was not the lost food or the refund itself--it was the employee's rude attitude, lack of professionalism, and complete unwillingness to help resolve a simple customer service issue. I will also acknowledge that by the end of my phone call, I became frustrated and was not as polite as I should have been. I regret that. However, that frustration came only after repeated attempts to handle the situation respectfully and being met with rudeness and resistance at every turn. A business can recover from a mistake. What it cannot afford is employees who treat customers with contempt and then refuse to provide any way to contact management when a legitimate concern is raised. Management should be aware that this employee's behavior reflects poorly on the entire business. If this is how customers are treated when they encounter an unexpected emergency, then potential customers deserve to know before choosing to spend their money here.

The tacos came with an acidic green salsa and a red spicy salsa, both taste great. They also give you two slices of lemon, which is honestly enough for the tacos. I think the only way they could improve this plate is by adding a bit of extra cilantro and onion or radish on the side. Service was good. I was attended to quickly at the counter and had my tacos in like 5 mins. Given, I came while it was slow (12pm, weekday). The restaurant is small, but there's seating indoors and outdoors.

It's like a bar with about four seats to the right and four seat seats to the left so it doesn't accommodate many people, so people order to go. And that was my plan. I walk in and the server (with his chef at and money taped to it) and I grab the same menu. He allows me to have it, and he grabs another and gives it to one of the customers. I say all this to say that he definitely knows exactly when I arrived. However, A white man walks up less than a minute later and for some reason he decides to ask him if he ready to order, as if I'm invisible. This was the second time that this happened to me today and God knows how many times has happened to me in life. So at some point, I just have to stop ignoring the fact that Black people aren't welcome in certain spaces. Maybe we are by law, but not at all met with respect! That is all!
