Fire first time will be returning. I had the burrito chingon .. next time I'll have pictures

Just visited and I'll start with a couple of positives. Prices are decent and it looks nice and clean. Place is setup oddly as the kitchen is way in the back and register by the front door. Quit a bit of unnecessary walking with this setup. Getting to the tacos (carnitas , cabeza) they are just ok for the price. They needed more seasoning and the salsas are bland / weak in flavor. Many reviews say best tacos in the area but I strongly disagree. Plenty of room for improvement so take this a constructive criticism. I would come back to try something else. read more

No need to look further, best tacos in Pasadena/Altadena. The carnitas tacos are scary good.

I was told about this place from a friend. He said they had the Best Burritos in Pasadena. So I had to try it. Big parking lot they shared with a business across the way. Last time I came here it was a small Mexican market with food in the far back. Now it's a small nice restaurant. I asked a few questions to the guy at the register. Zero personality & non friendly. I ordered a burrito and watched TV. I can see the lady in the back start to make my food. She did not hold back with the scopes of Beans, rice & meat. She was very nice and friendly. You can eat there or take it ToGo. Very good food & I would go back. read more

Best food out here highly recommend. Best tacos at nighttime exactly they start at 7 and best night stand tacos in Dena/alta

Best Tacos in Altadena! Took me a while to find this place. finally tried it a month ago and was very pleased! I tried their Asada, Al Pastor and Carnitas. very good. quality of meat is great.$2 per taco and burritos $10. its a bit pricey but it's understandable considering inflation and the quality. this place gets busy so call in your orders if you cant read more

New owners and slightly new menu. They fixed up the inside nicely. Good prices and same great tacos for our work crew on taco Tuesday business lunch meetings. Employes are nice, (well most of them) We will be back again. Parking is always good. read more

Tacos Don Pillo - Today's Lunch! Potato tacos - Tacos Near Me - Altadena, California

Best tacos around ! Great people and the quality of meat is much better than most tacos spots. I love everything but I recommend the asada burrito! read more

I think I maybe came too late for lunch at ~1:30pm... I was interested in their ceviche tostada, but they were out. And then I thought I'd sample the tacos, but was informed for the shrimp I'd have to get 3 of the same kind. The cashier was very patient and explained what the different menu items were, though I do wish they had explanations on the menu board. I ended up getting a wet burrito in green sauce... which is not a normal order for me lol. They certainly did not skimp on the sauce and the burrito sat in a puddle of it - though it magically did get absorbed. It tasted decent and was very filling, though too salty for my preference. I'd like to return and try the ceviche and keto style tacos read more

The best Mexican food in the Pasadena area in my humble opinion. Super mom and pop but more mom than pop. It's all good, but I particularly like the barbacoa tacos. read more

Tacos Don Pillo - Barbacoa Tacos. Soooo good - Tacos Near Me - Altadena, California

Been coming to this place since it was a food truck on Woodbury. Very happy to see them in a locale now. My go to is the Torta Chingona, while it's yummy standalone, I always add some salsa. Their salsas are tasty and compliment their dishes very well. My picky children love their tacos, the meats are delicious. Make sure you get enough napkins, lol. I read the other comment saying they're racist, I've been here enough times to know that they're are anything but racist. They treat everyone that walks thru their doors with courtesy and respect. They are hard working people serving great food. I can't wait to keep going back. read more

These tacos were honestly really greasy but also superrr good , I enjoyed them with some tortilla chips read more

Best Mexican food around the area I had a the torta chingona and I really recommend it. A very good Mexican steak sandwich

I do volunteer work nearby and drop by several times a month. I have tried their tacos, burritos and quesadillas and have only good things to say about the food. It tastes so good my biggest problem is ordering no more than what is sensible. The service is prompt but when they are busy expect to wait a little longer. The restaurant is clean with enough tables for the busy times. Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant is a solid choice. I usually stick to the burritos and tacos but everything on this menu is bound to be great they know what they're doing read more

the tacos are good but 15 minutes for 1 carne asada and 1 carnitas to go ? come don pillo, thats not cool

The best and only authentic Mexican food in Altadena; you're wasting your time and probably terribly lost in this life if you choose to patronize homestate instead. This is a great and friendly family owned spot with explosive Mexican flavors and more than generous portions. Highly recommend the nachos, quesadillas, and lengua. read more

Omgoosh if you haven't tried there shrimp tacos you definitely need to go they are delicious I get them once a week yum yum yummy! They are worth the price which is not much. Go get them you'll love them. read more

I am not a huge taco eater so I cannot speak about Tacos they serve but their shrimp burritos are amazing!

I had takeout from this restaurant a couple times. Last time I walked in, door was open, seemed to be things as usual until I walk up to the cash register to order and the cashier turns the digital menu off and tells me they're closed. I said what? I look at my phone and it was 3 minutes past 7 pm. Had no idea they closed so early. There were a couple people there waiting for their order and a guy in front of me had just finished putting his in. I was furious. If you're closed, close and lock the door, turn the lights off. I'd already walked in. A smart business would have taken my order anyway. No one else was behind me. Utterly disappointing. I'm giving two stars bc the food is decent. But, wow oh wow on the customer service. I had to walk back to my car full of hungry adults and children empty handed. Sadly, won't be back. read more

Food taste like grandmas food I got some fire nachos de buche. It's a nice restaurant with excellent service and cool staff read more

Tacos Don Pillo - Nachos - Tacos Near Me - Altadena, California

food and service is good, best tortas in town and all there food it's freshly made, I will definitely recommend this this place to everyone.

Bomb! The Burrito, let me tell you! Best meat to Rice and bean ratio. Good amount of meat in every bite! The beans are delicious I could definitely be happy with a bean and cheese burrito from here. The rice is good and flavorful. The meat is cooked to perfection with a slight carbon (charcoal) taste. Amazing! read more

Some of the best Mexican food in Pasadena I like there carne asada burritos they are very good

I simply love this place! the family who own this place are so nice and friendly. They always aim to please and the food is always hot.

Fantastic tacos. Especially try their shrimp tacos! Super casual. A neighborhood gem for a quick meal.

Great quality food and customer service. Very clean dining in. Highly recommend trying the lengua tacos or burritos. No complaints.

WOW, the food and prices here are wonderful! 3 fish tacos side of rice and bottle of water for around 9 bucks, that's about as good as you'll see anywhere, especially for tacos this damned delicious. It's that kind of restaurant where I wish I weren't already addicted to one item because the rest of them look so good! Highly recommend! read more

I like the food and it's very convenient from where I live. The problem with this place is they are very rude, they don't greet you, don't smile. The little boy that's there is the most disrespectful one of them all. Just plain rude read more

I just happened to get an order for DoorDash here and I was starving so I decided to order some food as well. Figured it would be quick for some tacos. Customer service was great right, I paid for my food and both orders were ready in 5 minutes. The tacos were amazing! I got asada and the meat was perfectly cooked the salsas were delicious too I used both green and red. Would definitely come back here and try something else or maybe just get the tacos again read more

Amazing. Bring your mom and dad. Bring your Aunt. She will love this food because it is delicious. Tacos of the gods. Burritos are excellent, as well. YEAH! read more

This restaurant is racist. Do not go here. I ordered 4 tacos, rice and beans, simple order. I was given order number 44. Patiently, I'm just standing there waiting for my order and I hear them start calling number 45,then 46 two minutes later, then 47 next. All of those orders were more complicated than my own. Everyone who received their food and had a number falling after order number 44 were Latino. Also, I could tell they had a relationship with the guy making the food. Probably because those people are regulars. That still doesn't give the cook the right to serve all of these people first who ordered AFTER me. I genuinely believe this was because I am white. Do not support this racist restaurant. Their food is also horrible with tiny portion sizes. read more

Have been coming here for quite some time now and they never disappoint. I love how they let you customize your burritos. The chipotle crema is really good. read more
