    a sign for tacos el torito

    Dude there's many taco stands now in the sgv area but every time I drove by this particular one I saw people in line. Curiosity got the better of me so I had to try it and wow. Amazing tacos, fresh made tortillas on the spot, the spindle of pastor meat glistening, what more could you ask for?! Tacos are $2 each, will have to come back to try the mulitas and might I add the orange citrus Fresca was also top notch. I guess I have found my new fav local taco spot! Sgv peeps go to las tunas and junipero where Papa Johns is for this gem!

    This place is so good! It is my favorite taco spot in SGV. So glad that Mary Lane Cafe is generous enough to let them use the parking lot. I always get the al pastor and asada but this time I also tried suadero and that's what I'm adding to my regular order next time! Their meat is always so flavorful and they give a lot of meat for each taco. You order the meat and then pay, and then add your own sauces and toppings. I always come here with friends. Will be coming here even more often during the summer time. Plenty of parking and kind customer service.

I had 3 tacos, chicken, beef and El pastor. The charred flavor was amazing. The tacos are simple but delicious. It's perfect portion for me. My boyfriend ordered a tongue taco and the Gordita. Service slowed a bit when more customers arrived. Completely understand when there was only one server. The food is good though.

    I had driven by this place countless times when working in that area but never tried it…read more One day about 2 months ago, at the stop sign beside it, I kept staring at the big photo/sign saying FISH TACOS $2.49 each. I was starving. I parked and went in. I ordered 2 fish tacos and the cook instantly got 2 FRESH (not frozen) larger than expected, fish fillets, THEN dipped them into HOMEMADE BATTER right in front of me and dropped them into the fry basket. Where will you ever see that nowadays? They were ready almost instantly, and were done perfect Baja style, with lots of that good salty mayo+crema white sauce. THEY WERE AWESOME. And BIG. And would have cost WAY MORE at any other place...for $5. Really satisfying, I was NOT hungry after 2 of them. Since then I have probably been there 7 times, the quality has never varied. And they make all their own salsas, etc. I have even taken jobs down in that area just so I can eat there! ;-) The only other thing I have tried is taco de lengua, it was equally excellent, with LOTS of meat, not some skimpy little street taco thing. But just go there and see what $5 will get you with the fish tacos, this has to be the best deal in today's food world that I have found and I work all over the San Gabriel Valley and eat at dozens of places. Its not fancy though, old school with lots of handmade cardboard signs showing lots of other dishes, but this is the ambiance you will find in some of the BEST mom and pop type cafe's. The ratio of deliciousness and quality to price is insanely in favor of the customer!!

    This is small mom and pop shop where you literally see the couple (el señor y la señora) behind the…read morecounter and kitchen area. We ordered for pick up and had: - macho fries (they were pretty darkly fried but very soggy even though picked up within 15 mins -- they throw refried beans on them so not great if you really wanted carne asada style fries) - FISH tacos - YES I'd come back for these at $2.50 a piece - they were still crunchy by time I got home 5 mins later and had plenty of flavors - good price, - lengua burrito - lady never said the price but burrito was OK, just rice and lengua - steak combo plate - flavors were ok - macho burrito - they got this wrong bc we didn't want wet burrito but they did it anyways :( -- this was quite SALTY. OVERALL - if you're really hungry and need basic food, some dishes are better than others. I think it was OK to try this out but still going back to my old time favorite Mexican restaurant. Mom and pop -- especially mom is funny and has sense of humor. Indoors they have a few tables and they have TV playing soccer games too. They accept credit cards.

    Must ask for this delicious salsa to go on top of the tacos. It packs a nice little heat.

    I just found another of my favorite mexican restaurant in San Gabriel…read more The place is small but cozy, the service is ok since only one person is serving but she is nice and respectful but the food, OMG it is soo good . I usually dont eat the chips before the food but this ones are soo good that we finished soon, they made it right there so they are hot and a little spicy but not much. The plates are big, you can even share or take home if you dont finish but the taste is good, we love it. I have tried garlic shrimps, enchiladas suizas, torta de pastor y sopes and really like everything. The only thing you need to be patient because they made the food when you order, but in the meantime, you can play lotería since they have the cards on the tables

    Parking in the back Takes credit care with $1 fee…read more It's a one man show, only one guy working, cooking, bussing, and dealing the cash. So the service is slow. But the food is pretty good taste Monday special- pupusa- revuelta and frijoles and cheese ($1.75) Wet burrito with pastor- large portions. Green sauce is super good. Choose your meat and al pastor meat is decent Enchiladas and with Chile relleno ($17.99)- Chile relleno was very good. They use a large pepper, and cooked well enough so the pepper is soft. The green and red sauce is really good. Pupusa- really good. Soft exterior but has a little texture.
