Meat is so good. Great quick bite when driving through. The building is this cool old school something. Staff was kind and helpful.

Small clean restaurant which from the outside leads to lower expectations. Inside both dining and toilets are spotless and food is served fresh and with consideration! Tasty and highly recommended. read more

Used to be our go-to stop for a quick and delicious bite while heading to visit our kids when they were attending university in SLO. It's been nearly 6 years since our last visit, so we had to stop. Still the same as we remembered. Nothing fancy,, just yummy food, fast service, and reasonable pricing. Glad we stopped. read more

FUXS GIVEN = x.x ******************* Food = 5 Quality tacos just like all the others UX = 3 For the location I'd say it's about as good of vibes as you can get. Music videos on the tv. Service = 5 Quick and easy. read more

The food is okay. It's located in a small town where choices are limited. The restaurant is small and a bit neglected as far as its cleanliness and appearance. I'd venture to say that for a small town their service is good for the locals as they may know each other but for those of us traveling through, the service was basic. read more

Today was the last straw I usually don't mind how they do work but I seen them buy food from other taco shops and today they made my asada fries with zero to none fries food can use some work on seasoning and the service is always bad they treat people they know better then somebody they don't the hospitality is 0-100 read more

Delicious barbacoa and carnitas tacos that live up to the internet hype. Worth the detour whether you are on I-5 of heading to SLO from Central Valley. Great food. We were there around 11 a.m. and the indoor dining area needed a deep cleaning. Other than that, I would return. read more

Great tacos! Had three carnitas, another person in my group got a super burrito which looked stuffed. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and need something quick, will be going again. read more

They serve good tacos and food. The only bad thing is that they sometimes forget to put salsa, but other than that, it's pretty good. Especially because it is open 24 hours. read more

Menu as of 12/26/2023 I got the breakfast burrito and had a few things taken off (salsa, rice). It was still very flavorful and mildly spicy which is just what I was looking for. Horchata was yummmm and had just the perfect amount of ice to not dilute the drink, but keep it nice and cold. Prices and menu were provided in Spanish and English. The staff was kind and accommodating my needs and the cashier was fluent in both English and Spanish. Thanks! I will definitely come again. read more

Tacos Y Tortas Chalio's 2 - a man preparing food - Latin American Near Me - Avenal, California

This is definitely a hidden Gem!! Some of the Best tacos I've ever had! I bought 4 tacos and 2 carne asada burritos and only paid $36. I thought that was a steal!! They have parking in the back. The restaurant is small but has additional seating outside. My daughter-in-law told me about this place and I'm glad she did! Service was great! Ordering was quick and easy! It does help if you know Spanish but can help you out even if you don't. I will definitely be making a trip just for food soon! read more

We were charging our car at the Tesla Supercharger and didn't feel like crossing the street for fast-food junk food, found this restaurant on the map. No regrets! The customer service, food, and quality was a home run for our family!! Ordered the Grande Burrito with Carnitas and boy was it filled with all the good stuff on fresh and chewy melt in your mouth tortilla. The sauces on the side were the perfect add-on condiments. Also ordered 4 regular tacos with carnitas...the meat is melt-in-your-mouth all around goodness! 2 for our daughter and 2 for me...it was perfect. Though I could certainly over indulge in one sitting given 2 more tacos because they were just fresh off the skillet kind of delicious. Glad we came here!!! read more

Love their food! We stop every time we drive through Avenal. Nice to get tasty authentic Mexican food. Tripas, lengua, etc.

If your driving back to LA from SF this the place to stop, 7 mins off the freeway with two fast stations right next to it. The food was off the chain, fresh and all the flavors you crave are here.. Do yourself a favor and come here instead of Tacobell. read more

I love this place! It's always when I have really early shifts and when I am getting home really late at night! A literally life saver, and fortunately the food taste amazing! The staff is always so friendly, reasonable prices, and always made in a decent amount of time. I have sat down to eat a couple times and I love the music it's at a perfect volume, it's well lit, never too bright and the temperature is always better than what it is outside. They do have to-go options that aren't always in bulky wasteful containers which I appreciate. You can call ahead to have meals ready if you're in a hurry usually no longer than a 20 min. They have the tap to pay and the text receipts so trees are being saved read more

We ordered a carnitas burrito which had enough meat in it to feed 3 people, and two asada tacos - same deal. They fix it while you wait including cutting up the meat and heating the tortillas. We shared an orange soda (haven't done that in 50 years) - best lunch around and all for less than $20. read more

Food is good, its 24hours so thats very convenient It is a place where the whole family can eat read more

The best tacos and burritos within a 100 mile radius. These are San Diego Tijuana style tacos where the cook chops up the meat on a cutting board right in front of you. The tacos are cheap at $1.99 but absolutely loaded with meat! I ask for the works....todo. this is onions, cilantro, and salsa on request. It's definitely a treat to veer away from the nasty mean I5 freeway traffic. Check out this taqueria in Avenal!!! 5 stars from Phish! read more

A few miles off Hwy 5, and worth the detour! On our way back home from LA, few hrs into our drive we got hungry, and were not looking to eat at a regular chain restaurant off the next exit. Handy yelp and google maps and Tacos Y Tortas Chalino's came up... delicious food. Quite the selection of meats. We had lengua, tripa and asada tacos. Next trip to LA we will make sure to stop by and try out their other options! read more

The food is surprisingly fresh and delicious It's like a gym in the middle of nowhere kind of I saw the ratings so we stopped and I was hesitant to order but I'm so glad we ate here It's definitely a place to eat at again We loved it read more

THIS PLACE IS WHERE ITS AT. AUTHENTIC AS IT GETS. The taquero cuts meat fresh right in front of you. He is crazy fast and can whip out your food in 2 minutes. Me and my boyfriend came here on a Friday afternoon while traveling to San Diego. Given that 1-5S food isn't the best we ventured into Aventura to give this place a try. We tried the al pastor, Asada, and Barbacoa tacos. They they had ran out of the tacos de papa. But the meat was so juicy and perfectly seasoned. the salsa was spicy and fresh. It was a flavor explosion. It was beyond what you would get at a american -Mexican taco shop. It's only a short road and5 minutes off the 1-5 but totally worth it read more

Heading back home to Los Angeles and I came across this place. First of all the food here is delicious !! Has a homemade taste and everything is flavorful. We had a barbacoa torta , potatoe tacos , and quesabirria. Friendly people and great customer service ! 10 outta 10 definitely recommend read more

This place is my go-to restaurant whenever I travel on the I5. I never thought that any other place in California would have comparable tacos to the ones ln LA. I haven't found any in the Bay that is as good as the ones in LA. I got 12 tacos when I came here and the Adovada is just as good as the previous times that I've been to this place. While the Adovada is my favorite, my second favorite would be the Lengua which is really tasty. However, the carnitas on my tacos this time was a bit dry. Other than that, the service here is very friendly and I'll still continue to come back here! read more

I had a burrito with barbacoa here at this restaurant that also sells meat, a mini-carniceria. The burrito was incredibly tasty. And if you're thinking, "Well, that's all good, but Avenal is five miles off I-5...", well, it's worth it. Definitely recommended! read more

This place is authentic Mexican food. There was a line out the door and the barbacoa is a must! It's a good sign when all the locals go here. Prices are cheap and they give discounts for cash. Beer is behind the counter--you gotta know a guy Overall the outside is a bit lackluster, and the inside decor as well, but the food is AMAZING, earning this restaurant a 5-star rating. It's like you step into México for some tacos y tortas. read more

Great tacos !! Agree with the last review .. a must stop from LA to SF! The asada tacos are the best.. but you have a lot of meat options!

Loved my tacos. I had the Barbacoa and asada tacos and I fell in love. I will definitely stop back by on my way home!

Forget the usual lunch stops along 1-5! Take the Huron exit and spend another few minutes travel to eat at this establishment. The real deal for Mexican food. Hand made corn tortilla when you place the order. Pozole is amazing. read more

Bad customer service.. I ordered quesabirrias and the tortillas were all completely burned and black so i returned them to get them remade. The girl at the register rolled her eyes at me and told me to shut the fuck up and leave if I didn't like them burned. Never eating here again if I'm gonna be treated like this every time. read more

OPEN 24/7 Asada Tacos are great. Quesadilla de Asada is out of this world. Love this place been here at all hours of the day and night and all the cooks have a consistent way of cooking the food. Try the Asada and the lengua tacos. All the food pairs great with a medio litro coca-cola from Mexico which is made with real cane sugar not corn syrup like American coke. read more

Landed on this little gem while I was in the area for work. I was skeptical at first given the low number of reviews, but they had great reviews. I got two pastor tacos and also asked for a chicharron. They guy thought I had wanted a chicharron taco and had chopped it up into pieces and made a taco. The staff here have a strong language barrier. They did not speak much or any English. But we were able to correct it, and I got my order and it was really tasty! The tacos were super yummy and that piece of chicharron...mmmmm mmm mmmm. I would come back again. The food here feels and tastes authentic. I mean, especially when you got a whole crew working back there that don't speak English. Authentic as it gets! Parking lot is small. You could easily miss and drive by the place, but it is definitely a gem here. Oh...and this place is opened 24hours...dang... read more

I got some quick food here and wow! It was really authentic and I loved the taste! It does not cost a lot so definitely come check it out!

It's 5 miles off the 5, but so worth it. We got a large Lengua burrito and a large Carnitas burrito, they are massive and DELICIOUS. I've lived in San Diego and now in LA and I'm a bit of a burrito snob....I'm telling you straight...10 star read more

Haul off the freeway to go check this place out! WAY better than fast food available neat the freeway. Lots of meat choices, spicy toppings, fresh tortillas. Mexican Coke. YUM! read more
