    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. 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!

    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!

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.

    Excellent tacos! The menu is limited but everything is delicious. The salsas are full of flavor and…read morethey serve a good portion of meat. 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.

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.

The food was delicious and the prices can't be beat. My personal favorite were the aguachiles, they were perfection!

The restaurant looked clean and well maintained. I can't wait to come back as those aguachiles are still on my mind.

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.
