This is a no-nonsense eatery serving authentic Mexican food to a mostly local crowd. The interior has the feel of a classic Mexican restaurant, complete with the signature '90s-style hard plastic booths and tables. The restaurant appears to be run by a couple of very nice ladies, and the overall experience was welcoming. The al pastor here is different from the typical style cooked on a trompo. It initially caught me by surprise, but it had great flavor and I enjoyed it. The burrito was large and generously filled with meat, beans, and rice, and the salsas packed a good amount of heat. I do wish the tortilla had been a little chewier, but that's a minor point. Overall, it's a great local spot with good food and generous portions. read more

Tacos Unicos - Al Pastor Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Fontana, California

See all

Tacos Unicos is a hidden gem in South Fontana. Literally...their sign is out, so the small space is really easy to miss. If you see the Indian Pizza place, you're in the right place. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Service is quick. There is a good amount of indoor seating, but most people seem to order take-out - understandable, as they aren't in the safest or cleanest surrounding area. Decently clean interior, clean bathrooms (two single stalls). Decent parking in the small shared lot. There is some music playing on a TV, but the noise level stays relatively mild. Not an overwhelming menu, but there's something for everyone. Unless you're absolutely spice intolerant, order things "as is" without removing any toppings; you won't regret it. Their carne asada is one of my favorites: it's lean, moist, and full of flavor. 10/10 recommend their carne asada nachos (again, with everything on it). The chips are something special. They also have a good variety of drinks and desserts. Prices are standard/fair. Definitely recommend! read more

Tacos Unicos - Asada taco - Mexican Near Me - Fontana, California

Came here on a Sunday at 7:50pm (they close at 9pm) I noticed the grill and restaurant were already cleaned for the night and sure enough the cashier says they're only taking to go orders. The person in line behind me also left. I wonder if the owners know the lazy cashiers are costing them sales. read more

I had a carne asada sope... very good. I also had a cabeza taco, no bueno, there beans are very good!!

Food is good. The asada plate was the only thing ive had that wasn't perfect. Ive been coming here for a few years. Food has alway been top notch. We've sampled the majority of the menu and its great. They make it quick but tasty read more

Size of their burritos is perfect! Huge and very filling! My go to lunch time spot the asada is cooked well, I would recommend

Ive been coming here for years!!! I love their sopes! I literally drove 15min...to order them. I love the spicy salsa they put with their food. It is SPICY for those of you who can't handle Chile. Personally, I like how fine the meat is cut. Also, I haven't tried anything other than the tacos, beans, rice, and sopes de chorizo and carne asada (all have been delicious). I would give it 5 stars but the meat can be on the dry side sometimes (if you go later in the day). This place is definitely a hole in the wall, but I don't care. I've never had any issues. Prices are pretty fair and I'll definitely be back. read more

We were visiting family near Citrus Ave and needed something tasty and quick. We stumbled upon Tacos Únicos and decided to try their carne asada nachos. What a great find! The tortilla chips were freshly made, perfectly crispy, and the carne asada was flavorful and cooked just right. The combination made for some seriously satisfying nachos. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu soon! read more

I've been coming here for years and I absolutely love this spot. They have seats inside, u can call in your order and they're the most polite folks. They have a few new workers and the food is still very delicious and I love that because most places food changes as the chefs do but Taco Unicos has always been the bomb. I high recommend u will not be disappointed. read more

I can say tacos unicos has the best carne asada fries in the city . They also have great burgers with a unique taste . They also have great service and place is always clean . read more

Clean lil spot,seats about 45 ,everyone's seemed real nice unfortunately the plate I ordered, the chilaquiles with green sauce were salty and had to much vinegar over powering and watering down everything from the beans to the chips,we've come here for 15 years and sadly the food has had downhill spiral,I've heard the sopes are great though,maybe again in few years. read more

By far my favorite local restaurant. they have THE best red sauce I could die for it, and definitely get there carne asada fries with a side of red sauce and drench it you won't be sorry... Me and my family moved here two years ago from Rancho Cucamonga and we're looking for a small Mexican place to each at and now EVERYTIME someone asks where to go I tell them tacos unicos and everyone I know that's tried it falls in love GET THE ASADA FRIES!!!! read more

Pretty good takeout food. Always get the street tacos & fries. The chili always burns my tongue. So get the chilli on the side.

Always come here this place has very good food, customer service is on point, treated and greeted warmly. Food is amazing cooks are generous when you ask them to add extra on your order. Good music and refreshments to compliment your meal. read more

This little hole in the wall on a questionable side of town is amazing!! The burrito is the best in Fontana, in my not so humbled opinion. The asada nachos are bomb! Their taquitos are yummy! And their red salsa is fire!!! If you have a timid butthole. It sing for you! You've been warned. read more

came to this place cause i was working nearby. Reviews said it was okay and the food was okay. I had the burrito and the only flavor it had was the spanish rice and the asada was okay. The burrito was an okay size but not big. I can forgive all that cause it was the morning but they told me they can only give me one green salsa per order??? And the rest will be charged... I got lunch for a crew of four and you can only give me one green salsa with my order? Please. I just said give me the salsa and they said it was in there. Nope just red salsa. Wont come again. read more

The food here is AMAZING but today we were waiting for our food and we saw a cockroach walking on our table. If I'm being completely honest I'll still come back but please do something about this!! read more

Tacos Unicos - Carne asada nochos - Mexican Near Me - Fontana, California

I ordered a bean&cheese and a carne asada burrito. They have a 50 cents debit card fee. As soon as they handed me my bag to go, I noticed that the weight was rather light for two burritos. I asked the cook for three hot sauces since they didn't put any inside when they handed me my bag. No cilantro, onions, limes, NOT EVEN SALSA was included in the bag. Furthermore, I couldn't get any myself since all the condiments are inside the cooking area. Even though I asked him for three sauces, he only gave me two and didn't offer any additional condiments. His didn't have a friendly demeanor so I didn't bother asking for anything else. I got home and opened my bean&cheese burrito. Just like I expected based on the weight, it was on the smaller side and I felt like I was eating a Go-Gurt because I had to squeeze the beans from the bottom of the burrito to ensure that I wasn't taking bites of 75% tortilla. It only had about half the amount of beans that you would expect from a solid bean&cheese burrito. Stingy. That being said, the bean&cheese and salsa had a really good flavor, it's just not what I expected for the money. TL;DR Place has 5 star potential, but below average service and sub-par portions make it not worth going out of your way for. read more

come here all the time but today my girlfriend called made a phone order and as we walk in to pick up our food. the cashier lady who took our phone order claimed no one called to put an order in. she asked me to call to make sure it was us. the restaurant phone rang, clearly the lady was lying and did not want to own up to her mistakes. very unprofessiona. read more

Food and service is amazing. We will be coming back We had the asada fries and tacos Al pastor, delicious. Horchata hit the spot.

Looks like any ordinary mom and pops Mexican restaurant in a small plaza. Parking is a little cramped, but there is usually a spot or two. Food, on the other hand, is above and beyond. Always stop on by whenever I get the chance or usually after a long day at the laundromat. The neat thing about this restaurant is that their kitchen is "open," so you can see how they make it on the spot while you wait. I always grab the carne asada fries. There's a reason why it's rated best asada fries in town. read more

Poor customer service, food always looks like it had been sitting around would not recommend take forever bathroom never open only the men, charge extra for everything cashier girl with the black blocky eyebrows always has a bad attitude read more

I love the service of this place I come here only for the carne asada fries . I love how it has the LA setting to them you can see them cook the food but not like a glass box they have the privacy as well The horchata is bomb as well . read more

I don't always feel the need to write a review but in this case I do. I came here based on the reviews. I'm on a date and it's my cheat day so I wanted to make it count. Sadly I feel like I should of picked a different place. I saw the pictures of the carne asada fries and they looked bomb so that's what I got. My review is just going based off on the carne. The fries and the cheese and everything else was fine. The meat was my problem. It wasn't good, it was old. You could tell it was a day or 2 old and had been reheated many times. If the meat was fresh I would of given it 5 stars . I may give this place another try, who knows. Note I came here on a Saturday night so I expected to have fresh meat knowing many people eat out Saturday nights. Not happy! read more

The place is very small and the parking lot is very compact. It's located in a little sketchy small plaza. I bought carne Assad and it was ok. Nothing stood out when I was there. Maybe because that is not their specialty, but I will come back to try the tacos next time. read more
