Great service, but even better tacos! Aguas were good too! I struggle to find buche, but that is no longer. read more

BEST $1 taco tuesday deal in the sgv! Only Al Pastor but the meat and tortilla quality is amazing. Selection of 4 salsas and 4 other bins of sides/toppings. My favorite is pairing the al pastor tacos with the diced pineapples and the roasted pepper salsa. Upon request they grill onions that have a strong lime flavor and it cuts through the greasiness of the tacos. Service was very quick since they make it in front of you and there's a small bar to eat your tacos fresh. read more

The best tacos in the SGV, point blank period. My go-to are the cabeza tacos! They're a little fatty, which I love. The meats here are well marinated, and you can actually taste the flavor. You don't need salsa to get through the meal, but they add to the overall experience. That's the way I think tacos should be. The price is pretty good as well. Tacos are $2 each and on Tuesdays, al pastor tacos are $1! They also offer nachos (not listed on the menu) that I'm excited to try! The people working here are always very nice and speak English and Spanish. You definitely have to make your way over here ASAP read more

Seriously some of the best street tacos in LA. Extremely fresh, clean and so flavorful. The carne asada and pastor are both so tender and delicious, with a great selection of toppings and sauces. Family owned the service is great and staff is sweet. Perfect score for me, unless they are growing the business to bigger and better places please PLEASE never change!! This place is soooo underrated and although I would love to keep this place to myself they deserve recognition and a long line down the street!! Keep going :) read more

Legit. She told me I would love their food...I did not realize how correct she was until i got home. I might have cried little tears of joy. Its like they opened my brain and poured flavor chemicals directly onto my grey matter. Service- excellent. Food- excellent. Ambience- get the fuck outta here. This is the spot! I will lay down my gringo ass for these people if the goonsquad comes at them. They are making magic and sellling it at a reasonable price. Their jugos?...dios mio,man. You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Try the jugos and I will meet you in candyland across the rainbow bridge. Not too sweet! but oh, so good. read more

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. No official seating but there's plenty of space to sit on a short cement wall nearby that's pretty comfortable, honestly. That's what we did and we enjoyed our delicious tacos straight away. Plenty of parking nearby. Definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

THE best taco/burrito stand around in the 626!!! I get their al pastor burrito with no beans and add their pineapple salsa to each bite. Sooooo good. Also a very smart decision to open next to a supercharger. This is my go to spot!! read more

Great food the best taco stand I had their meat are fresh soft and tender I had burrito and tacos

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. read more

I recently moved to East Pasadena from DTLA, and my biggest problem has been finding a quality go to spot forFIRE authentic Mexican street food. First the customer service is the best because of the Tio/Tia vibes. What really keeps me coming back is the consistency is the food. Quality, positions, full bar of salas, and not forget the price is from pre covid days!!! If they made merch I would buy it! Thank you for everything you do and continue the success Tacos Y Burritos El Chiquiado!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Very well versed with Mexican food in Pasadena, Tacos Y Burritos El Chiquiado is the best around! You won't be disappointed!

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! read more

I love their tacos but I wish they're using gloves when preparing food/ picking up meat.

I was curious to try this place out since I always see it. I'm glad I did because this is a pretty good taco place. Their mulitas are so dang good. Crispy tortillas with gooey cheese? Bomb. They have a good variety of meats too. Usually I see some limit their menu but they have it all. Service was really nice. And kudos for the cleanest taco stand setup and he was extra cautious about everything too. The food was fantastic and portions were great! Would definitely come again. read more

Not quite your neighborhood taqueria. The flavors and assortment of meats are unique and deliciously marinated. You can get the elevated staples, or you can try some more adventurous cuts. It's cleanly, service is friendly and fast. Salsas are divine. I'm here multiple times a week! Ask for extra sautéed onions on the side, trust me. read more

Delicious tripas were soooo good the pastor was some of the best I have had in a while glad I discovered this stand!

Best Tacos by far in Pasadena, I have tried just about all the taco stands here in Pasadena. But this have been by far the best every time . And the aguas frescas specifically the Jamaica the best . read more
