0 stars. Bad quality ingredients. Bag full of grease. Sauce tasted watered down. Lady was nice tho. Hopefully they upgrade & fix it, or it ain't gonna last. read more

Came here was not busy at all. Service was basic I believe the guy taking the order was a young kid. I was excited to try the food since it had good reviews. I ordered tacos and they said they didn't have enough meat for 4 tacos. WHAT? It's a taco truck. It's unfortunate I won't be coming back. read more

super nice people, the food is amazing, perfect setting to chill with friends. I would come again. read more

After hearing my dad go on for months about how much he missed these tacos he finally convinced me to drive out to try these out. I ordered 3 asada and 1 mulita de asada. The asada was very fresh and you could taste that it was marinated very well! The service was very fast even with a steady flow of guests throughout our time there! I ended up only eating the mulita since it was very big but eat the tacos for lunch the next day and they were still quite good! They give you plenty of salsas but personally I definetly had to put a lot on since it did not taste that spicy to me! Highly recommend trying these out, friendly service and great food! read more

*** CASH ONLY *** After I had a burrito and a taco at Tacos El Sapo, I wasn't feeling satisfying enough and I had enough room for few more tacos. So I drove 5 more minutes and visited another East LA taco truck called Tacos El Grillo. This family-fun taco truck isn't exactly super popular because I only saw a customer when I got here at 9:15 PM. There are five options (chavindeca, sopes, tacos, burritos, and quesadilla) and seven different meats (pollo, asada, pastor, lengua, chorizo, cabeza, and chicharron) to choose from. You can sit on the only foldable table and few chairs to enjoy your food. *** Asada, pastor, lengua ($1.50 for each taco - single layer tortilla): Not sure whether it was asada or pastor, but one of them was REALLY flavorful. Lengua had some guacamole sauce and overall it tasted pretty solid. All meats are pretty juicy and I agree with few other Yelpers that their tortilla was quite amazing. Hey portion was pretty generous too! *** Overall these street tacos were some of better tacos I had in LA (sorry but I still think El Chato Taco Truck is LA's #1 taco truck in my book); however I have to give two thumbs up on their killer tortilla. I do think this taco truck has some potential to be one of the more popular late night taco destinations in East LA, but popularity is not something everyone gets to control. read more

This Truck "Was Good" at one point. The quality of the food has gone down, not sure cuz if it's due to the cost of the High meat prices or what but my Burrito was FULL of RICE and very little meat. Some pieces of meat had to get spit out because it felt like I was chewing gum. There is a lot of Great Taco Trucks on every corner around this location. This will be my "LAST" visit at El Grillo. read more

Tacos El Grillo - Type of carnes they have - Food Trucks Near Me - East Los Angeles, California

Well it's a catering truck. They get here at a certain time and then here comes the big line. Luckily we got here early and managed to get a seat in their little teeter totter tables. Love how they do sway back and forth and your food could fly back on the floor. So hold on to your food if you're sitting at those little tables. The tacos are pretty good. I'd be back if I'm in the area. Good call from my friend about this place read more

The best tortillas I've ever had in my life. I tried the pastor, pollo and asada. Each meat was really tasty but the tortilla was just phenomenal. The people who run the truck are really friendly. Looks like it's a family. I watched her make the tortillas when I ordered my tacos and as soon as I bit into one I got weak in the knees. The tortilla was like a pastry it was so good. Like I just wanted to eat a big stack of them. Anyway this place is fantastic and is in a place where there's a ton of competition, but it rises as one of the best read more

Ordered 7 tacos and got 6 tacos In return and was charged for 7.. and to make it worse the meat seemed like it was from yesterday. Very disappointed with the quality of the meat . I was a big fan of this place but I'm seeing the decline . And the fact that they charge me more and got less in return . Might not ever go back . read more

The food is really good, the best part are the tortillas hechas a mano and it's a good price (:

Tacos El Grillo has became one of the most famous trucks here in east LA. What keeps people coming back isn't just the tacos, it's the quality meat that never changes! From Asada, pastor, lengua, cabeza and so many new eats! The service is amazing that you receive from them and the family that home cooks the meal for you without speed. Each taco is prepared with time to make sure you love each bite! And from hand made tortillas to salsa, i can guarantee you that they got the flavors to take the home run! Make sure to stop by and try these tacos, I assure you it's the golden truck and only best truck serving up tacos in east LA! read more

This place changed quite a bit , they seem to be doing better with a new lunch truck but the food is different as well not to good anymore ordered what I usually order witch is tacos de al pastor and they were disgusting got me and the wife sick ! Won't go back at all read more

I came around 11pm and there was no line. Wait time is not long considering they make hand made tortillas. Meat had good flavor, sauce was good and spicy. The handmade tortillas were good, however, I felt like they needed to be cooked a little more. Other than that, I thought the tacos were good. read more

Tacos El Grillo - Asada tacos. - Food Trucks Near Me - East Los Angeles, California

Ok. Let me start by saying I don't eat out at Mexican restaurants because ain't nobody can do like my mama..... BUT..... this tacos truck changed the game for me! I throughly enjoy their tacos. I landed her only the the blessing of the tacos gods. Haha but seriously! They have really good tacos. I've had the chicken, asada and Chicharrón all good, my favorite are the chicharrón (has a little crunch). Oh and the tortillas, hand made and soft! To wrap it up, they are friendly too! I'm there at least once a week! read more

Not too shabby. I've seen this taco truck around quite a bit and well into the night. The tortillas are handmade to order, so that's always a plus. The al pastor is a bit mushier than others, but not too much to the point where it's like chorizo, and it's still delicious. The tripa is really good too and has just the right amount of chewiness and crunch. The buche is okay but I've had better at other spots. The chicharron was probably my least favorite. It was still good, but I was hoping it would be the cocido en salsa style, and not the really crunchy type. Overall it was still a pretty good experience and I'd gladly give the owners my business once more. I still have to try the sopes and chavindecas. read more

This taco truck is sooo good, their tacos only need one tortilla. And it's handmade! Somehow the handful of times, there hasn't been a long wait to order or pick up our order. We like to eat our tacos at home and they don't arrive soggy at all after our 5 minute drive home. For those late-night taco cravings, El Grillo delivers. read more

Where do I even start with this truck. First off, their tortillas are hand made until you order. Second, the choices of meat are fresh and piled high in huge portions. The size of these tacos are about 3 times the size of king taco. I have tried asada, pastor, cabeza and pollo. Every single choice is delicious and worth it! Since I found the truck, I have stopped going to king taco and Sergio's tacos. The quality just doesn't compare to anything I have ever ate before. If you want that authentic taste that tacos should have, make this your choice to eat at! This place needs to be on the damn food channel! Asada has no stupid nerves that you spit out! Best quality meat! read more
