I was in the area and noticed this place had some great reviews, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I must have come on an off day. I ordered the Carnitas Burrito without rice. The carnitas were a bit under-seasoned, and the beans were served whole rather than refried. In my opinion, whole beans can sometimes lack the extra flavor and richness that refried beans provide. The flour tortilla, however, was fresh, warm, and not overly thick, which I appreciated. I also tried both of their salsas--the green and the red. The red salsa was slightly better than the green, but neither one really stood out to me. I'd rate the salsas about a 3 out of 10. The restaurant itself is quite small, and parking was a nightmare. I ended up calling in my order for pickup because finding a place to park was difficult. My total came out to $14.22, which seems about average these days. Overall, the food just didn't leave much of an impression on me, and I'm not sure I'll be coming back. read more

I am a HUGE fan of Tacos El Pau. This husband-and-wife-owned restaurant and catering business employs numerous friendly, hard-working, and amazing employees. I have visited the restaurant a few times; however, I have hired them for their catering services dozens of times over the past eight to nine years, including my recent retirement party. Each time I have hired them to handle my catering services has been better than the previous occasion, if that's even possible. The food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS, full of flavor, filling, and PERFECTLY prepared. The beans and rice are FANTASTIC!! The chicken, carne asada, carnitas, and many other types of meat are tasty They also specialize in vegetarian dishes and many other items upon request. The Mexican Aguas Frescas are refreshing and delicious. This is and will remain my #1 catering company, as they offer the best communication, the best prices, the friendliest employees, and the BEST food ANYWHERE! Owners Cristina and Paulino are very honest, trustworthy, professional, and caring people who will do everything in their power to make your event memorable, successful, and fun. I HIGHLY recommend this catering company if you want delicious, fresh Mexican food. They will help make your event, of any size, the one people will be talking about most, and a fun, successful event. read more

Tried this spot out in LA, got me some Pastor Tacos. The tortillas were handmade, good stuff. The pastor wasn't the quality pastor you get at a solid spot though. It was more of that low grade pastor, didn't really stand out. Overall pretty mediocre but not bad. Pastor Tacos: 6.7 read more

Tacos El Pau - Pastor Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super delicious taco Tuesday! I had no idea these delicious tacos are right down the street. Simple menu. Great food!

Food is good with good quality ingredients. Got the carne asada fries and the plate is larger than any where else I've got them before. They put three different sauces in them. It is made with nacho cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. They offer lots of salsa and guacamole with it. The tacos are regular or home made tortillas. The homemade are good. The carnitas and pastor tacos are worth buying. They taste good and come with an extra meat on homemade tortillas. They also give a lot of limes, onion, radishes, salsa and guacamole with your tacos. This place is a must try. read more

Tacos El Pau catered at my place of work. The service was great and the meats were as well. We had our pick of asada, al pastor and chicken. They had all the fixins including aguas frescas. The chiles toreados were a nice touch and super hot!!! Tacos were served on small handmade tortillas. I'm usually partial to the store bought double small tortillas but these were great. Definitely recommend and would like to try other meats. read more

I've had catering done with Tacos El Pau twice and it did not disappoint! Being married into a Mexican family, it is paramount I only choose the best taquiza and everyone agreed! We got the Al pastor, carnitas, asada and beef birria, along with their homemade tortillas and aqua frescas (jamaica and cucumber lemon). The tortilla chips were perfectly salted and the salsas had a great spice and flavor to them. Cristina was so easy to work with and accommodating to our needs. We ordered a month ahead. The team showed up early the day of the party and prepared very quickly. They were all professional and kept clean stations and had a very welcoming attitude the whole time. They also packed the rest of the food for us! Leftovers for days yay! Thank you Tacos El Pau! read more
