    Mix and match tacos (Chicken and Asada)
    Ivy V.

    I've been having their tacos for years, it's so good. The chorizo, asada and chicken tacos are bomb. Check it out, they have other foods like burritos, tortas and etc. It's awesome you won't be disappointed.

    Carne Asada tacos and Pambazo

    Came here because they accept debit, but this is our go to taco stand now. We got two mulitas, four tacos, one burrito, and one pambazo. Everything was delicious! Very friendly, nice peeps too. It's a taco truck, so you order and take your food. There's chairs to sit and wait for your order. Right in front of Numero Uno grocery store. I only took a picture of my food, not the rest because they weren't patient for the gram lol but yes, totally recommend this taco truck.

    Tacos: $1.00 each

    In the seemingly endless taco space that fills my frequent drive between LAX and DTLA, Tacos El Ilegal falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, which isn't a bad thing given how competitive the LA taco scene is. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Tacos El Ilegal is a pretty standard taco truck in Lennox that draws some decent crowds during the after work peak of about five to seven in the evening. The service is quick, and they've got a standard array of peripherals to fill out your tacos with. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? With an almost shockingly low price point of $1.00 per taco, Tacos El Ilegal has the competition beat on the value front with what are actually pretty decent sized tacos that are accompanied by a handful of tortilla chips. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? In all, these tacos were just okay. The chorizo was the highlight meat of the evening, but both the pastor and especially the carne asada fell well short of expectation on the flavor front. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? In a moment of desperation? Maybe, but there are simply too many amazing spots nearby for me to get excited about a return to Tacos El Ilegal. No Star.

    FOOD (4/5): Good tacos for $1 each. Toppings and sauce options were good and varied. Be careful with the orange sauce, it is habanero based and spicy. My recommendations are as follows: - Al Pastor Tacos (full toppings) - Chorizo Tacos (full toppings) SERVICE (3/5): I don't expect great service when going to a food truck but this one was particularly lacking. I will update in the future if was only a one time occasion

    Cabeza tacos and vampiros were bomb! The asada flavor was too salty for my taste. Adobada taco was also flavorful. Definitely recommend to try. But do not add salt without trying it first.

    Delicious tacos!!!

    One of my go to spots for asada tacos. Their vampiros are really good too. Extremely friendly staff. Super reasonably priced.

I've been on a bit of a breakfast burrito kick and have been slowly trying all the popular spots to varying degrees of contentedness. What I should have been doing all along was going to Maria's. I'll be the first to agree that fancy isn't always better and of course healthier IS healthier, but I'm not eating a breakfast burrito too be healthy. That's what fruit, plain yogurt, and chia seeds are for. Maria's doesn't use any healthy oils, pasture fresh eggs, fancy potatoes, aiolis, or specialty meats. What they do have is 3-meats, melty cheese, textural contrast, and a good, spicy salsa. All that for $10. Ten dollars. Alexander Hamilton, just an Alexander Hamilton, there's a million things that Maria might not do but a damn good breakfast burrito she does make.

The food was delicious and we were raving about it the whole time even after we left. The service was amazing and helpful with talking with us about our order and when it was arriving and was also very attentive to our needs when requested. I can tell they make this food with love and it is made to order. They genuinely love what they do here and it really shows in the food and the atmosphere.

We also tried their Wet Burrito with carne asada and it was really good, the portion is HUGE so you can def share. Their service is always great here, very friendly and amazing service. Ambiance was chill the typical noisy conversations that happen at a restaurant.

Food: ° Shrimp & Octopus Cocktail - fun fact! The more you add into your cocktail the bigger the bowl is and it gets big. We added 4 different seafoods into the cocktail and it was delivered in a large bowl. But the cocktail has good flavor and you get so much it can feed 2-3 people easily. Great choice! ° Chicken Fajitas - this was a really good dish, its normal in size only this one had amazing flavor, the plate stayed warm the entire time, it comes with Rice & Beans and the vegetables and meat was cooked perfectly. You also get tortillas either corn or flower. ° Enchilada Plate - It comes with Rice & Beans and you can choose from red or green sauce. Definitely get the red sauce its really good and the flavor was just right. Great choice. ° Chips and Salsa - love love the free chips and salsa. The chips are made fresh and the house salsa can be used on anything. It's really good anf has a good consistency. Service: Our waitress was GeeGee and she was so awesome. Really friendly even had a laugh with is but did her job so well and was able to keep us engaged and satisfied. The food came out in a reasonable time and it's plated nicely. Everyone seemed to be nice and attentive. Atmosphere: They have inside and outside seating and it can hold large groups. The inside is very chill and decorated with flags from all over the world its pretty cool. It's not too loud and it does have a calm relaxing vibe. They do have TV's as well. Location: It's located in Inglewood on Century Blvd. close to Inglewood Ave. White building with blue trim. Prices: The price are great! My Chicken Fajitas with rice and beans and tortillas was only $18. Parking: They have plenty of parking with a private parking lot connected to the property, it's easy to get in and out of.
