    Friendly chef grilling up fresh meat.
    Cecil W.

    Note: Unfortunately, my first visit, I did not ask their hours, I will try to do so next visit. Driving by one night and see a brand new taco truck joint near my home! Smelled good on the way up, had to go back for something! Located on the corner of E. Washington and N Altadena, right in front of 7-Eleven. Parking is that same plaza. These guys are here 3 times a week, not sure exactly which days, there was a language barrier. On approach, 4 guys were very friendly, though they spoke only a little English, it was enough to make it through! They sell tacos, quesadillas, mulitas, burritos, and tacoquesos. They don't have a menu... so we didn't ask each specific price but overall seemed very fair if not great! For meats, they offered al pastor, carne asada, and tripe, though, I might've missed it if they offered more. They also offer grilled onions on request. Watching the chef grill the meat was mouth-watering! Each meat looked so tender and smelled delicious! We ordered 6 al pastor tacos, 6 carne asada tacos, 1 al pastor quesadilla, 2 al pastor burritos and 1 pineapple juice. The tacos tortillas are freshly made, they literally shape and cut it fresh to be grilled! The burritos near completion, will be offered to you to add toppings such as salsa, onions and cilantro, etc. The pina wasn't mine, but i heard it was very good as well! Salsa and condiment bar is self-serve. They offered green salsa, avocado salsa, radish, cucumbers, onions, and cilantro. Total was $56 flat, so I guess you can do the math on that. Each item was very tasty! Specifically the al pastor was amazing, flavorful, juicy, and tender! The carne asada was also very good, albeit a little salty, so pair it with the cucumber or radish! Condiments were very fresh and since it was self-serve, we were not skimped. The quesadilla was great as well, very cheesy and meaty. Overall, the experience was top-notch, customer service was great, food was great, location/parking was easy and convenient, and pricing was great also. Note to self and others, bring gloves to eat or utensils, because the al pastor is messy! I am so grateful a GOOD taco truck opened up nearby and will definitely return!

    Tasty street food. They have an assortment of proteins and lots of condiments. Quick, delicious, Southern California comfort food. I ordered a burrito with al pastor meat, melted cheese, rice, beans, avocado salsa, tomatoes, cilantro, lime. We also had the quesadillas and carne asada tacos. Meats were very well marinated.

    Damn good! Git hungry here at R Place bar in East Pasadena and sure in the Hell didn't crave Jsck…read morein the Box( Jack in the Crack!)....used Doordash delivery for two tacos; one al pastor and one one asada. Order came quick....under 20 minutes. Hadva sude order if extra red & green salsa plus sour cream. Food arrived hot and ready to consume...I sure as Hell was hungry and downed them in under 10 minutes. Kudos fir adding the pickled carrots. Order was definitely sho' am good and tasty...now it's time for more whiskey at R Place bar.

    Worst tacos, horchata and asada fries I ever had in socal…read more I ordered asada fries without beans, I got beans. Also can we make it a mission to label pico de gallo as pico de gallo? If I see "salsa" I'm thinking house salsa. Let's be specific~ Speaking of salsa, I ordered salsa verde and got something more like salsa amarillo? It's the blandest salsa ever. I could get more out of a sauce packet tbh. I don't know if the water down their salsas maybe? Of the (probably) many watered down items served here, this horchata has at least 3x more water than flavor. Also don't know how you can water down the flavor of meat but add that to the list too. I will say texture on the meat is good like I know it's not over or undercooked, but I taste next to nothing. Also received the most solid as a rock limes ever. Confused how that even came to be. This place is full of shiny gimmicks with no substance. If you're looking for good mexican food look elsewhere. It's southern california, you've got options.

    This is a must try off of lake in Pasadena…read more Reliably good food every time I have been here. Chips and salsa with WARM chips. A to die for pork tomahawk. Amazing happy hour and I highly recommend the dos gringos. Every detail of that dish is made with thought and precision down to the proportions given and the wonderful crisp on the tortilla. Amazing deal! Be careful when ordering sparkling water because they'll bring you an overpriced bottle of sparkling water instead of just their fountain soda water without asking for clarification. I've made that mistake a couple times. Otherwise, I highly recommend Mercado; you can't really go wrong.

    Sunday evening team dinner. Had heard a lot about Mercado - pricey, overrated, etc - all wrong…read more Delicious. But pricey - but it's S Lake Ave. what do you expect? Rents high. Our waiter Gianni's is amazing! Give that guy a raise. The guacamole had onions so I had to pass, and the entire table ate onions and I didn't - so didn't try it. However, the chips and salsa were delicious. The mushroom queso dip is divine. Delicious. Creamy. Addictive. Must order it. I ordered the fillet mignon tacos - they were flattened steak - I'd prefer chopped. Would give the taco more texture. No accompanying sauce - so used the salsa - very good. The avocado was too thick. The mashed potato's were forgettable. I get it - mashed potato's in a Mexican restaurant. But why not add a fusion gravy? Flan for dessert was out of this world. Churros were slightly undercooked. A solid Mexican spot in Pasadena. Would like to try more food options.

    My first time trying Villas Tacos and I loved it! Felicia, the cashier, was so sweet and helpful…read more Great service and great food!

    This taqueria featured in Bad Bunny's halftime performance has some of the best tacos I've tried…read morethus far in LA. The quesotacos from here are so delicious. For for first timers, I'd recommend ordering the Villa's Trio which is what I got. Those come with the Ranchera Asada quesotaco as well as the Papas con Chorizo and Black Bean con Pollo quesotacos which are a trio exclusive. All the tacos were meaty, flavorful, and crispy. You honestly don't even need the side sauces since the tacos are already flavorful on their own. Great quality. I also got the Watermelon Agua Fresca which was refreshing, tasty, and sweet. Goes well with the tacos. I also got the Jamaica Agua Fresca, but that one was a bit too tart for my liking. The line can get long, so I would prepare to wait for up to an hour on weekends. There's ample free parking at the grocery store lot nearby. For seating and tables, it's limited and competitive. You just have to get lucky if a spot clears up as soon as you get your food. I also like how the restaurant handles crowd control. They allow a couple of people at a time to go inside, order, and get their condiments. You wait outside until they call you for your food. I like that it didn't feel crowded while I was getting my condiments. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back.
