    Greatness

    Yummy as always!! Come get some or all, you surely will not regret it! (Be sure to not forget grabbing a drink as their aqua frescas or freshly made horchatas really quench that thirst!)

    Oh my god. This place is incredible. I almost want to gatekeep it. I wish I could live in the nearby Holiday Inn so I'd be steps away from this place 24/7. Their tacos are SOOOO delicious and the meat is delicious and marinated. Normally taco stands never stand out to me because the meat isn't usually marinated and it feels like you could get it anywhere... But here the meat is so delicious and perfect! I would go out of my way for this. It's such a standout place among all the taco stands I've been to. The people working are really nice too which is always appreciated. We asked for one of their potatoes and they gave us some grilled jalapeños too. I tried the red salsa and the green salsa and the green was my favorite- more mild and not spicy. I got four tacos but three was enough to fill me- they give a lot of meat per taco. You can either get the food prepared for to-go or for eating there. My partner got the pineapple agua fresca and they liked it but tbh it was way too sweet for me so that's the only thing I wouldn't recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No official seating but there's plenty of space to sit on a short cement wall nearby that's pretty comfortable, honestly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That's what we did and we enjoyed our delicious tacos straight away. Plenty of parking nearby. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

    I've searched years for tacos that would make me question the tacos before them... El Chiquiado are by far the best tacos I've EVER HAD, the husband and wife duo deliver flavors ( ones that a Latin Caribbean palate like mine feels right at home at), like no other. You are received with warmth as soon as you stand in front, feeling not only comfortable but welcomed. My orders of tacos come with a complimentary tortilla with frijoles and a broiled potato, which go perfectly with the long list of fresh topping offered. All washed down by some fresh juices made daily. I challenge anyone that says their taco spot is best! I'll be checking on the comments for rebuttals. In the meantime, try them out, I promise it will change your world.

    I go to this specific Tesla charging station for this taco stand. Charge your Tesla and eat some tacos. THE BEST TACOS with the best price. It makes you wanting moreeee and moreee. Seriously addicting. 100/10 in front of the holiday inn.

    this is by far my favorite taco stand! I have been searching everywhere for a taco stand other than Ave 26 that does the mini potatoes with your order! no more dealing with LA traffic. they have such a good variety of toppings you can add to your tacos. My favorite was the pineapple jalapeño. The workers were so nice and attentive. Their location is at 3500 E Colorado Blvd Pasadena, CA, right outside of the holiday inn! I absolutely will be back to keep supporting them!

    Amazing tacos spot!! I have tried tacos all over Los Angeles and always come back here. Great quality great taste and the owners are the nicest people I've ever met.For Valentines Day I wanted to get a heart shaped taco plate they did it for me. Love these guys go there!!!

They have a small simple counter to the left of the truck so you can stuff your gullet right there next to what is a nicely kept but unassuming food truck in front of a Japanese specialty auto shop. It's cash only, but there's Chase and BofA pretty close by if you need an ATM. Parking is limited to Fair Oaks unless you wanna walk past all those antique shops up North on Fair Oaks towards this other taco truck which I like less than this one! There's an interesting Santa statue on the store to the right of this truck that I always think about. All of the taco meats are good. I don't even like cabeza, lengua, or chicharron but it is delectable here. They have pollo, carne asada, and carnitas too. There's also a pineapple beverage, horchata, or Coke cans to drink. It's a simple menu but a strong one.

They offer onion and cilantro separately which is a rare perk at taco spots. They sell horchata and pineapple drinks (recommend), and a few soda options. Truck workers are friendly and efficient, you receive your food moments after ordering. There's a bar style table off to the side if you want to eat there, no seating options but the area is clean. *CASH ONLY* and well worth a stop at the ATM. Open late weekdays and even later on the weekend, great spot for a late night bite.

When I came in it was near closing time and there was no one sitting inside. I think they were closing up, but I had enough time to order something to go. I ended up ordering two fish tacos. It was neatly packaged and plenty of toppings, along with some salsa on the side. When I finally got around to eating the tacos, it was very tasty and there was a nice crisp to the Ensenada style tacos. I definitely cheer for places like this, and I tend to score a little higher only because I feel like there needs to be more places like this around. Not only that, but they have a pretty extensive menu, but I really just came here specifically for the fish tacos on this visit.

I had been raving to my friends about the food and amazing service at the Manhattan Beach location, so I was excited for them to try it. We were initially told our best option was outside, despite it being nearly 100 degrees. When I asked to sit inside, the manager focused more on the obstacles than finding a solution. We were eventually offered two separate tables, which we accepted just so we could stay. Our server was slow and not particularly friendly, and the service overall was mediocre. The food was delicious, but unfortunately the experience and hospitality were nowhere near what I've experienced in Manhattan Beach. Very disappointing, especially after recommending it so highly.

We were eating there when another customer came in and was waiting for over 7 minutes with the employee not acknowledging her at all. She eventually just left. Another couple walked in, also waited 5 minutes until she came to assist from the back. While the customer was saying her order, the employee got a personal call while dealing with the food, answered and was preparing the food while on her phone call. I have a video snipped of this interaction. As we were finishing about to leave, another customer came in and was waiting for over 5 min. The entire restaurant can see and hear her on the phone. Something about another employee not coming in and it was just her and that she had done everything. When the customer tried to get her attention she motioned hold on with her hand. I completely understand it sucks when a co worker calls out. But that was a bit much. No wonder this place is always dead. No one would want to come back after this experience.

I got the steak picado, tinga de pollo, and cochinita pibil tacos. I wasn't asked what heat level I wanted for the cochinita pibil, so they gave me what tasted like a level 5 to me.

Unfortunately, I ate that one first, so when I moved on to the steak picado and tinga de pollo, everything tasted spicy and I couldn't really enjoy the flavors of the other two tacos. I also tried their burrito, and I was honestly surprised by how tiny it was. I wasn't expecting a huge burrito, but this was much smaller than I imagined. Flavor-wise, it was also pretty underwhelming and not something I would order again. Overall, this location was a disappointment, especially because I normally really enjoy Guisados. I probably won't come back to the Pasadena location. Boyle Heights is so far from me, but I still feel like that's the one location that consistently does it right.
