    Pulled up to this taco stand and it was already packed, which is always a good sign. 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.

    While my husband was ordering, a LARGE flying cockroach literally flew onto his neck and then…read moredropped to the floor. 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.

One in SGV and one in LA). Showed up at 6p and they're not there...they said they moved -- yet again! Wished they were more reliable. After finally getting to the tacos 30 minutes wasted, they were OK only. Was kind of disappointed bc of all the 5 star reviews. It could also have been that we were the first to order at their new spot: 1410 E Adams Ave, Alhambra, CA 91081 This low key casual taco stand you get to serve yourself whatever condiments and accompaniments you want. The tacos come in double tortillas and handed to you to go in foil. -- for the TACOS you get plenty of MEAT -- but they're not all that tasty :( - Cabeza meat was soft and tender. - Carne asada's flavors were meh -- not particularly good nor bad. - Al pastor were a bit better and I loved the piece of pineapple they throw in there. - Tripas were super chewy so if you don't like chewy, I'd recommend getting them elsewhere. Their green guac salsa has a tiny hint of spicy. Their spicy green is more spicy than mild.

    I came here with my friends, and this was my second time visiting. The last time I came was before…read morehigh school, so it had been a long time. We stopped by after the gym and ordered some food. My partner and I shared the nachos, while our friends got the quesadilla and tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food tasted fresh, was well-seasoned, and wasn't overly salty, which I really appreciated. One thing I love is their salsa bar. They have a self-serve area outside the truck where you can get as much salsa as you want. It's convenient, and it's nice that they're not stingy with condiments. They also offer daily specials. We didn't order any of the daily deals this time, but they looked like a great value. If you're looking for delicious food at an even better price, definitely check out their daily specials before ordering. The location is another plus. It's right outside Jefferson Middle School in a quiet area with plenty of parking, making it very convenient to visit. Several people recommended the horchata, saying I had to try it, so I ended up getting one and sharing it with my partner. It was really good! The only thing I noticed was that it didn't come with ice, so we added some when we got home. The service was quick and friendly. They took our order right away, and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back soon.

The asada is my favorite and their cabeza is so tender! We got tacos and a California burritos which were both tasty. The burrito is a little more on the wet side but still delicious

    Since moving to El Monte I often go through San Gabriel I kept seeing CHANO's . I googled to see…read morereviews. Today I actually passed in a rare morning so there's so many things to choose from. Being of Mexican descent I couldn't decide so I settled for breakfast burrito no meat which was substituted with potatoes. And when he mentioned cafe de la olla I thought yes with milk. Took me back to New Mexico as a child. when we were on vacation having caficito, brewed with cinnamon stick. Burrito was even better with red salsa. I'll go back for lunch or dinner

Some of their most popular dishes include Asada Burritos, Super Fries, and Tlayudas. I recently attended an event at my son's school where Chanos was a vendor. 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!

    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.
