Overall, authentic Mexican food and the prices are amazing. All the taco meats are tender, and you can taste the flavor. It's a family-owned business, and it's great to support a local business. Their sandwiches are pretty good too. read more

Best tacos I've ever had aside from Mexico City and the original King Taco. I'm a Pasadena local and I finally discovered my go to taco spot. On Friday's they do full on taco night with Chorizo, Asada, Adobada, Cabeza, and Labio. My favorite it the Asada!!! It deserves a 20!!! Everything is fresh, not to mention delicious and flavorful salsas. I walked towards the smell from Good Neighbor Bar. They have all the tradition taco toppings to serve on the side. Best part is they dip the tortilla is oil and fry it. Ask for the sweet onions on the side. Thank me later! My order: 4 asada 4 adobada 1 horchata 1 Flan (not pictured cause it was inhaled) $28 CASH adjustment discount 3.1% read more

Tacos Don Pillo - Super clean - Tacos Near Me - Altadena, California

I only have been there once. I was in the area looking for something to eat, and I saw the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It didn't look very appealing from the outside but I went anyway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't go there for the ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't know what to order. There was a poster hanging on the wall with a very appealing sandwich, and I ordered it. I didn't regret it, it was very good. If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely go back. read more

Well, where can I start with this location? I used to go there when it was a little Market and there was a little restaurant in the back of the store that used to serve shrimp burritos Asada burritos now they opened a restaurant they claim to have the same recipes as before because it's owned by the same family let me start with my burrito my shrimp burrito I had maybe 3 1/2 shrimp in my burrito. It was 95% rice with sprinkles of shrimp so nasty. The Carne Asada burrito was disgusting as my husband said growing up in Pasadena. We are so disappointed in the taste and the quality and specially customer service none whatsoever rude loud it's was not a good experience. I will never go to that location again I do not recommend it at all.... and for whoever reads this from that location, make sure you know how to make shrimp burritos before you even put them on your menu.... read more

The carne asada is amazing! I strongly recommend the shrimp tacos! I am gluten free and have eaten both kinds of tacos safely and happily here! So good! read more

Tacos were really good. Staff was friendly. Very busy on Friday nights and took a long time to get our food. I wish they didn't close so early. Kitchen closes at 7 most days but they continue selling tacos until 9:30 on Friday. read more

This place is really good! Quesa birria tacos and torta chingonas are a must try. Their chile Verde is flavorful and spicy without it being overwhelming. The staff is fun. You can tell they all like each other with the friendly jabs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place fits about 32 inside and maybe another 12 outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very chill but I recommend coming after 1 pm after their lunch hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You know it's going to be good when there is a line out the door! read more

Bought an Al Pastor burrito for lunch. Customer service was great, horchata definitely good, [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambience not bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately my Al Pastor burrito was not great, the meat was dry and lacked flavor. Even salsa and lemon couldn't help it. If you go here try another meat. The price was actually not bad at about $14 for a pretty big burrito. read more

burrito Chingon. Absolutely the best burrito I've had in the last three months. I will drive hundreds of miles to get another one. Thank you, Don Pillo read more

Without a doubt my favorite spot in Altadena for quick and delicious Mexican food. You can't go wrong with anything here. Order everything at the counter, they call your number and you take a seat. No cervezas, but good augas frescas and bottled Mexican Coke. I usually stick to their tacos and burritos - if you're on a budget get the bean and cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Salas are great, people are great, vibes are great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It gets pretty busy at lunch time with workers from around the area, but it's worth the wait! read more

I came in cravings nachos and boy were they delicious! Flavorful and fulfilling. I started it for my breakfast 11am, and finished them for lunch. So maybe they're enough for two people. I also ordered two tacos and one of my tacos had two big pieces of inedible meat, fat. So there wasn't a lot of meat there but other than that, it was yummy and i will be back. read more

Yummo! Great tacos. Good service. Discount if you pay cash. They have the best hot sauce it goes from hot to deep hot. The deep hot will burn for sure if you can't handle it :) read more

Drove by a few times and decided to stop by to try it out. Came around 1pm on a saturday. Tacos are $2, pretty good deal. I order 2 tacos (carnitas, carne asada) to try it out. I put in my order at 1:10pm and got my food at 1:23pm. They seem pretty short staffed. Maybe it was a bad day for them. Maybe they got a bunch of door dash orders before me. Not that many people in line before me. Not like in n out where they are crowded and call out numbers every minute. I heard a number called every 5 mins. Tacos were greasy and flavorful. I enjoyed it. Would give the food 4 stars and considering dropping 1 star for the wait and lack of customer service. There is a sign saying they are not fast food and make every order to order and takes time. I get that but 13 minutes for 2 tacos is a bit long of a wait. Maybe stop by during off hours like 3pm? read more

This place is a staple in the community for us BLACKS & BROWNS! I've been coming here since I was 17 years old when it was named "The Crosby store." I will FOREVER SUPPORT DON PILLO ! On Tuesdays my Brother & I come for our regular asada burrito with green sauce. Asada burrito: 20/10 , packed HEAVY, & seasoned to perfection Customer service: 40/10 (Except he didn't tell me about the catfish taco . I'm just kidding) Strawberry water : 40/10 water mixed with strawberries super refreshing Ambiance : 10000/10 SUPER CLEAN, Tables setting is beautiful, there is a wall for photos, and the music always makes me want to dance! A little HISTORY: Don Pillo use to be called the Crosby before their abuelita passed away. She ran a food kitchen in the back of liquor store. You could buy chips, sodas, etc! Now her grandkids have taken over & have brought it to modern times. This is a FAMILY OWN BUSINESS read more
