    Carnitas quesadilla
    Natalie J.

    I was heading to LA to visit family and quickly jumped on Yelp to find a place for dinner on Friday night. I wasn't paying attention when it said cash only, but luckily they were near a Ralphs and I could grab cash quickly. The tacos weren't terrible, I had asada and the meat was definitely overcooked. My wife had a carnitas quesadilla and I feel like a plain cheese would have been better. The entire meal was about $20 with tip so it was worth a try, but I won't be back.

    I'm not too sure if this is the exact location we picked up from but if all the chains taste like this then it don't matter. It was the last night of my bachelorette trip and my girls and I wanted something super greasy and delicious. This place was the most recommended and best reviewed and wow it really did not disappoint. They were out of beef intestine BUT we found out that they recently added birria tacos and omg it was so good. When I imagine birria tacos, I am only going to think about these. The consóme legit shook me to my core. 100000/10

    Not bad at all! We had family members recommend this place so we decided to check it out. We tried sopes, nachos and a burrito. The sope and burrito were great. The nachos were decent, but we might go for the fries next time. Cash only (lol at everyone who complains; is this your first food truck?).

    Try the Tacuba Fries with chicken! It's to die for. The service was amazing. I will definitely come back. I love how clean the truck was and also the surrounding area.

    It wasn't bad. It was fine, and thats what I needed, but compared to any of the similar-rated trucks around, this place did not make the cut. Meat wasn't especially flavorful, and was a little dry. Salsa was spicy, and it didn't quite cover the lack of flavor in the meat. Staff was nice, though.

    Yum yum yum yum yum. We ordered two chicken tortas from Tacos Tacuba. Honestly, it was hard to pick what to order because everything on the menu looked delicious. The person at the window was very friendly and I appreciated how she said she wouldn't tell anyone if I came back for seconds (hehe). The meat on the tortas had a little crisp too it and boy was there was a LOT of it. The bread was soft but still held the sandwich together. While I thoroughly enjoyed my torta, what I really loved was the SALSA! The red one was HOT! Chefs kiss. I definitely will be stopping by the Tacos Tacuba truck the next time I see it around the Valley!

    Carne asada burrito con todo. SO GOOOOD.
    Gayle P.

    Sooooo gooooood! Cash only, but we usually get some from the Ralph's they park in front of. The salsa is goood: their picante salsa is a good hit! We like their carne asada burrito, tacos and quesadilla. Have to try more on their menu. That's how much we like it. We goin' back!

I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

    First time at El cocinero, planning on coming back again and again and again!!!!!!!…read more I was informed it was all and everything is vegan which I love tacos and to find a vegan Mexican spot that is all vegan came in clutch. This place had everything you'd need and tastes so good for a vegan spot. You would be able to fool me and tell me this is actual meat and I'd believe it. That's how good it was! I got the quesadilla (half asada, half al pastor) omg that was the best thing I have ever had. The cheese melts and pulls just like regular Cheese. The meat was so juicy and good flavor. I'd get it again and again But I'd probably try the tacos next time along with the quesadilla tbh. I also got the flan which was tbh less sweeter than a regular flan. But hey I still loved it, I don't complain about it. It was still delicious. (Funny incident, I ordered the flan at the front and paid for it.i wasn't told anything else by the guy at the register. SoThen went back to the table and Waited and waited and waited for a good 20 minutes, till I asked about it and was told that I can just grab it out of the refrigerator!!!! Smh, as much as I was upset as much as I for some reason just found it funny. So don't do the same mistake I did and just go grab it right after you pay for it.) Overall, I loved everything and all the things about this place. Nice seating areas, nice environment , helpful workers,convenient parking! And most importantly, delicious food. Definitely be visiting this place again!

We then had to step in and ask to please be provided with our now cold order. She passed us the bag and we had to again ask for the plates, utensils, napkins and our drinks. We got home and the amount of food was very small, the cucumber was cut into humongous chunks, and honestly the flavor was not to die for.

When I come here, I usually order the cheese enchiladas. They're the best I've ever had. Perfect flavor, cheesiness, and consistency (thickness/density). This time around, I decided to try out something different, the Carne Asada plate. It was fantastic. Usually, restaurants use cheaper cuts of meat like skirt or flank steak for their carne asada. Maybe I'm losing my mind, but the carne asada I had looked and tasted a lot like ribeye steak, which happens to be my favorite cut of beef. For my drink, I had the horchata like I normally do. The horchata here is something special. It's thicker and creamier than your average horchata and packs a cinnamon punch. The only knock on this place is the parking situation. There's limited parking relative to the size of the establishment. You may have to find street parking around the park nearby. But don't let something like that discourage you from checking this place out. This place is worth it. I drive up to the Valley from the South Bay just to visit this restaurant.
