    Tacos very salty and my husband was chewing on this piece of plastic . Been a long time customer but need to find better quality taco truck

    Honestly some of the best authentic food I've tried so far hands down! Not only was it ready in less then 7 mins but the flavor was 10/10. My food vs my husbands this was a cash preferred establishment. my order (pastor quesadilla add beans w. a side of grilled onions) id add the green salsa for that extra kick onions & cilantro is optional.

    Came for the great reviews. It was a nice looking food truck with good lighting since I got there late. The staff was nice. Would've been 1 star if it wasn't for that. 1. The taco was dry and bland. 2. There was a bug in the food. Look at the picture of the plate. The little dude was chilling on a piece of onion next to a piece of cilantro. It doesn't look like a roach, but still nasty.

    Worst tacos truck ever! We usually get our tacos at Arandinos Tacos Truck but today we decided to try here since it's closer to our place. We ordered 16 tacos and specifically told them to have cilantro and onion on the side, repeatedly. And what do you know, they said it's already inside. The cook looked at the cashier girl and they just literally stared at each other. No apology to us. Nothing. Just a freaking staring contest between them and us. I'm not the type that would ask for a whole new order if it's messed up. But at least some decency would be nice. And their food is just not good. Tacos were super soggy. They drowned the poor tacos in salsa. The tacos fell apart we couldn't even pick it up. And mind you our drive was only 3 mins. It's so soggy the tortilla peeled like an onion, which was everywhere in the tacos. A big no! Should've just went to Arandinos.

    I love this taco truck! I've only tried their tacos with pastor & asada but I love them both! Service is quick and friendly and the tacos never disappoint. They're super generous with the meat too! $1.25 for happiness? Yes please! They moved across the street to Paramount Blvd due to the construction at the old car wash at their original location. It's not hard to find!

I actually was…read morewaiting for a table nearby, but you can't miss the giant spinning al pastor right up front. So I went straight for the al pastor first. What I liked right away is that they don't chop it down into tiny bits. You actually get slices of al pastor that are chewy, tender, and full of flavor. They top it with a good piece of pineapple too, which balances everything out. The condiments were fresh, and you can load up however you like. At around $3 a taco, I was full after four and honestly felt like it was worth it. Simple, busy, and straight to the point. Out in the street, the place opens up with a casual but flaming setup. Definitely a solid late night stop and you can't miss it if you're just driving up San Gabriel Blvd heading home.

We both heard it flying first, and he looked extremely uncomfortable and disturbed. I kept saying there were roaches, but the woman taking our order didn't acknowledge it at all. After ordering, we looked around more carefully and noticed several adult roaches around the truck. We even heard another girl on the other side scream because a roach flew at her too. On top of that, the food quality wasn't worth the price. We ordered 3 burritos and 4 tacos, and the total came out to almost $50. When we got home, 2 out of the 3 burritos were wrapped so poorly that they completely unraveled while eating. One of the people I ordered for got so frustrated they stopped eating altogether. Sadly, between the hygiene concerns, lack of response from staff, declining food quality, and high prices, I would never return.

    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 place has been serving the community since 1979. Street parking only. Service is friendly, prompt. No frills but appears authentic enough. There are about 20 indoor seating (booths & tables). The cafe is fairly clean. Our order was ready in a jiffy. Got fresh salsa from the counter along with pickled carrots, onions & jalapeños. Not bad but the menudo lacked depth & richness, so did the albondigas. Overall a good experience at least once.

My mom ordered the pozole verde and rajas con crema. Everything was going good until the server very rudely came and asked my mom to stop feeding my 9 month old baby because he was making noise and that "he had other guests and it was a bother" . We were both left in shock and it took us a second to process what he had just said. We had only taken a few bites of our food and we were commenting that it was good but this man's rudeness left us speechless. There was only 2 tables seated aside from us one gentleman and a group of 3 gentlemen on the other other table. I walked up to them and apologized if my baby was disturbing them and they all said no that he was not at all and they had kids and knew that the baby's were baby's. We felt extremely uncomfortable and discriminated by this man that I just asked for the check and left without even getting thru half of our food. This is such a Disappointment because they are suppose to be a family restaurant which I would assume is okay with children at their establishment but I guess not. There should be a sign at the door that says NO CHILDREN ALLOWED specially the ones that make any sort of noise. Management I expect a response from you! This is not okay!

It was my first time seeing them there, and I was glad to see them, as they've replaced other vendors in the past. I had already eaten, but who can resist a burrito?! My son was getting hungry, so I ordered an Asada Burrito for us to share. It was pretty good; the tortilla was excellent. I wasn't a fan of their rice and beans, but the asada was not bad. They had a few salsas to try. They used those tiny salsa containers, which everyone knows. Restaurants use them to prevent over-indulgence, but it takes a while to get enough salsa because they're so small. I understand it's a cost-saving measure. They were also serving Churros ($3), and I got two. They were okay, a bit doughy in the middle, making me think they were undercooked. The guys working the booth were super friendly and attentive. I appreciate them! Realistically, the burrito was a 3/5, but with the good service and their community support, I'm rounding it up to a 4. Until next time, Chanos! Gracias!
