I ordered in the drive thru, service was quick. I had two asada tacos. Unfortunately, the steak was dry, dang near disintegrated in my mouth. I've been here before but many years ago so I don't know if the quality went down or if it was an off date. I would try again one day when I'm craving asada tacos. Salsa is packaged. read more

This evening we were craving some good street tacos. El Unico hit the spot. The chicken street tacos were very tasty. But...let me tell you that the pickles carrots are spicy and that green sauce has a kick too. Overall the tacos hit the spot. We will be back. Nice portions too read more

My first time here! Loved that they have a drive thru, so convenient especially with Mexican food. So we ended up ordering asada nachos, chicken taquitos plate, & a horchata drink. They have any drink any size for just $1! Such an awesome deal!! The horchata was flavorful. I enjoyed the chicken taquitos it had good flavor. The nachos were OK, I feel like a different kind of cheese would've made them better. The sauces were nice if you love spicy! It's a good spot for the area. They have plenty of parking. The staff is very friendly we will definitely come back to try other items. read more

Got an asada/steak burrito with added pollo/chicken. The burrito was tasty enough, with plenty of trimmings, but it was kinda small. Service was perfunctorily "nice", short & to the point, so no complaints there. The ambiance/atmosphere of the place was brisk & businesslike. By being located right at the local bus stop, across the street from a healthcare clinic, they undoubtedly get a boatload of that foot traffic, so it works out well for them, probably. All in all, pretty good; I'd pop in & grab something if I'm in that area & hungry, for sure. read more

Food is good. Have always had friendly service at the drive thru. Asada fries could have a bit more of ingredients. It's just melted cheese and the meat with the fries. I'm used it having pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and more like a nacho cheese with regular cheese read more

Always good and fairly fast! Don't let the drive thru line fool you they move quickly! The carne asada tacos are delicious! Their quesadilla with meat is the number one for us! Please get the red salsa-a little dab will do ya! You can eat inside - it's super clean and recently redone! read more

We always roll by this drive-thru taco joint and decided to finally try them out. You definitely don't come here for the service, the lengua, cabeza, or pastor. You come here for the convenience of driving thru, their asada, and the hooked up packets of salsa. That roja kicked my ass and I thought I had a decent heat tolerance. Worth trying at least once. read more

Tacos El Unico - Street tacos. Stick to asada. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been coming to this place many times because I enjoy the food, but after today I will seriously reconsider. On August 31, I ordered two breakfast burritos, and in one of them I found a hair inside. That is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of hygiene in the kitchen. The cashier at the drive-thru was named Ashley. If the restaurant cannot maintain basic cleanliness standards, it doesn't matter how good the food tastes--customers will stop coming. read more

Tacos El Unico - A hair inside the burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Today, I finally went inside to sit down and eat my favorite fish tacos, they are simply the best. They tasted even better inside. I also ordered the mini churros, light sugar. They were delicious too. The inside dine-in experience is better. I didn't know about all the cool condiments inside. They have chipotle grilled, pickled, and raw onions along with the carrots and jalapeño Yes! The restroom was clean and secure. I was even further impressed with Tacos El Unico the home of the best fish tacos. The service was perfect all the staff was welcoming and helpful. read more

I've come here a number of times as work is close by. Convenient that there is a drive thru. This is a chain so while the flavors are there, the quality isn't the best. That being said it's a decent option is you're in this area as there isn't a lot around. Their salsa is actually decent and actually spicy so that's a plus. read more

I normally order the tacos or Mexican burger but this time I ordered the carne asada burrito it was not what I expected, I'll just stick to my usual orders. The burrito was lacking flavor & it had way much more rice than the other fillings. read more

Tacos El Unico - Carne asada Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The asada is good. But the tortillas are always rough not soft like the 1 in South Gate or in Compton. I live 2 minutes from this location but drive 25+ minutes to go to the one In Compton because the Tortillas are soft in the other locations but not this 1. I specifically asked them yesterday if they could make sure the tacos are soft, I thought Gustavo was going to hook me up yesterday with soft tacos but I guess not. You want med a review and shout out on yelp bro. Here it is. Do better or have Compton teach you. read more

Tacos El Unico - Eric needs a raise!!! He's so nice and makes sure that your order is correct !!! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Absolutely one my husband's favorite burrito places. The one that he usually goes to is in his old neighborhood in Compton. This one is in my hood Crenshaw near Hyde Park. There is a drive-thru or you can walk in and order. I prefer getting in and out so it's the drive-thru for me. I love the little packs with radish and carrots that are complimentary with your meals. Muchas gracias El Unico read more

Tacos took like 5 mins but they were cold. I drove like 3 mins away so they should've been hot. I can appreciate the packaging very clean. The ambiance well you in south central.. if you know you know. If you don't then don't expect friendly ppl around and don't wear valuables. Anyway I like the tacos they do have a good taste. read more

I had seen Tacos El Unico around town for some time, but never tried them. On a whim I ordered from here through Uber Eats. I ordered 4 different tacos just to see what I might gravitate toward. They all were good and so tasty. I'm definitely going back for more. read more

Ordered a chorizo burrito it was so horrible. It was greasy and dripping just not tasty at all! Never going to eat there again! A lot of parking and drive thru available but I won't come back! Service was quick but burrito was nasty sorry! It was dripping red oil read more

First, let me be very clear and state. They have very good food. They have the best El past store. I've ever had not to mention their guacamole. Is absolutely excellent. But I gotta tell you my order has been messed app several times the beginning of this year. I had ordered some tacos and guacamole. Sent my girlfriend to pick it up. They would not give her the order. They refused to give her the order. I had to get in my car and go down there to get it myself. But yet, they had no explanation of why they could not give her the order. The other thing, the last straw that broke the camel's back. I ordered yesterday October 7th 2025. The 4 tacos with a drink and guacamole. On the side, they've done this several times a lot of times I never got my guacamole, and they would put the guacamole on the tacos. So I let that go yesterday. I'm eating 2 of the tacos when I got to the third taco. This was old meat, it was old meat, and I was like, what is going on here contacted Uber. Eat, they refunded all my money. But I made it really, really, really clear. I would not be going back to them ever again. The manager apologized, he said, yeah. Let me make it up to you. And I told him no, thank you enough. Is enough. read more

It's so delicious and soooo affordable I honestly come here like all the time I got to meals for only 13$ would definitely recommend

I was food poison because they use the same gloves to fix food with that they handle money with.

This spot has really good asada tacos ! We tried pastor but the flavor is lacking. It's a good spot for something fast. I really enjoy their rice and beans flavor doesn't taste like straight out the can. The churros are good but sometimes dry. The service is a hit or miss. Their agua de jamaica is really good! read more

Some of the best street tacos here. I have come here a few times for some good food, and Tacos El Unico never fails. Place is pretty good and prices, and its a family hidden gem of good food. Nice staff , and cool small place. I will come back again. read more

Food 1/5 Tacos cold and greasy. No cilantro, fries are hard not seasoned. This was not the first time I've had a bad experience with my food here. I won't be supporting going forward. read more

I have been coming here for years because I live just a few blocks away. Recently, I tried their Smoked Brisket Taco. It's different, but it's usually pretty good. Tonight, however, I ordered 2 tacos, and when I got home to eat my tacos, I was shocked to find that THE BRISKET WAS COLD!! I guess maybe they keep the meat refrigerated and then reheat it when they need to make something from their special menu, but this was terrible. COLD BRISKET!?? I love this place so I will still be a customer, but this visit was disappointing. read more

Tacos El Unico - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love certain items here but honestly. The service is so bad. I ordered, 5 asada tacos plain with everything on the side. They gave me 3 plain tacos nothing on the side. I also asked for jalapeños, instead they gave me 3 bags of carrots. Every time I go they stay messing up my order. Whole time the girl was trying to take an order in her mic while talking to me. That's fasho why she got it wrong. The guy with the tattoos was nice and respectful. The other short girl with the dark hair don't know what she doing. read more

This place used to be my go to spot for late night cravings, especially because I live down the street. But as of recently, I've been having ups and downs with this place; not because of the workers, not because of the long drive-through lines. It's simply because some items on the menu don't reflect what they are priced. I understand we live in California, inflation is up, and taxes are high, but when I pay $14 for a regular burrito, I'm expecting it to be somewhat loaded. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case these past recent times; you're better off ordering the asada fries (more bang for your buck) or just order a Milanese with some guac. read more

The only reason I gave them a two is because the flavor was good. Don't try too pass a street size taco as an original size taco. I make tacos all the time and buy shells from the store. You must make your own so you can make them smaller read more

Got 5 regular sized tacos at around $2 apiece here. 2 asada, 2 chorizo, and 1 pastor. Pastor taco was the best. The tacos were a little too greasy for me, but filled me up when I was super hungry. So they did what they needed to do. Might stop by again if I was in the area and looking for something quick, but would not go out of my way to come here. read more

Slow and Confused. Thats how they mix up orders . It was men working mostly. They couldnt do nothing right. Smh. Be prepared to Wait 45 min . 3 stars for Food. Service Bad read more
