    I stopped by after seeing the hype online, but overall, the experience didn't live up to expectations. As soon as I arrived, there was a line out the door. The space is extremely limited--only about two to three tables inside and a couple outside--so it feels crowded and a bit chaotic. With how popular this place has become, the setup just doesn't accommodate the volume of customers very well. First off, the prices are on the higher side. I paid around $40 for two large drinks and a torta. The torta itself was $14, but the al pastor meat inside lacked flavor and didn't stand out. Honestly, you're better off grabbing tacos from a good street vendor--they tend to have more authentic flavor at a better price. As for the flautas, they didn't look like what's shown on TikTok. They are very large portions, which could be a plus for some, but it's a lot of food--definitely too much if you're not someone who eats big meals. I wasn't able to finish mine. The drink also missed the mark; it tasted more like a mix of lemonade and strawberry rather than something well-balanced. Other downsides: long wait times, dirty tables, and it's hard to hear your number being called if you're waiting outside. One positive note--the music inside while waiting was enjoyable and added a nice vibe. Overall, I'd rate this place a 3.6 out of 5. It didn't meet my expectations, and I wouldn't return.

    Last visit 03-22-26. Been passing this spot for the past 9 yrs. Came once for some some asada tacos but that's its. Everything was made fresh to go. The food was great. Better than I expected. The birria was tender and flavorful. The consomé was also good. The service was great. The cashier was polite and professional. He was very patient as I looked over the menu and when placing my order. Restaurant is small. Seating is available outside and inside tho. It was clean and real chill. Not a lot of ppl but it was busy. I would definitely return for the trio.

    I saw this place on Instagram, and had to try it. It's a small joint with just two indoor tables and one outdoor table. Came there for lunch on a weekday and got an inside table. Ordered their flautas Ahogadas, taquitos, and Birria taco. Everything was made fresh and was so bomb. The flautas and taquitos were so crunchy and tender inside from the meat. My favorite dish of the day was the birria taco. There's already so much flavor in the taco meat, but the consomme takes it over the edge. I could order another. Another thing worth mentioning is that their salsa are super super bomb. The workers are warm, and make your food fast. Recommend a visit.

    Yes!!!! Long line but well worth it. Food was delicious, service was friendly. Very small seating area literally 3 tables inside, 2 outside good luck on getting a seat to eat in but there is a nice park at the corner to sit and enjoy.

    Been driving past this place for quite some time and heard it was good!! so hard to choose from all the items, decided on the torta Cubana!! the torta Cubana comes with milanesa, ham, hotdog, cheese and egg. It was delicious!! And big enough to share! It was $16.99 a little pricey for a sandwich, but worth it because we could share and I took half of my sandwich home..

    Heard about Takos from TikTok & decided to give it a try. We initially went on a Saturday night & it was an hour and 45 minute wait. That was actually crazy so we decided to go back on a weekday, a Tuesday, right when they opened. That was probably the smartest thing we could have done. The first time we went we both got Asada tortas and they were so delicious. This was my first and only time trying one, and I definitely recommend it. The Asada tacos were just regular, the Asada burrito was just regular, nothing special. We also got the giant flautas Taquito type things. They were sooooo good. I don't even like sour cream and they have sour cream on them and I devoured them! I believe they were chicken and potato. They come in this sauce, the sauce was so delicious! It was like cabbage inside the sauce. Honestly, you can just eat the cabbage in the sauce, it was giving vegan pozole, that's how good it was. They could probably put that on the menu and serve that just by itself, but that all together dipped in the flautas was delicious. Every time I've been back, I either get the torta or the flautas definitely recommend just be conscious of the certain times and days that you go because there will be a wait.

    Me and my brother were looking for a place to eat on Rosecrans and bellflower blvd. and we came across this small little gem. It's probably one of the smallest restaurants in this intersection and it is a Birria taco restaurant. Claims it is Tijuana authentic. And the flavors prove it. And the made with beef not goat meat so it's really really enjoyable. Like I mentioned it is small. There's probably 6 chairs inside the restaurant and 8 chairs outside of it. That is it. I made my food to go. From the looks of it, everybody was making their order to go. In the time that I ordered and received my food there was a lot of people coming in. Everything taste good their salsa are very spicy. All that food you can easily feed three people total was $67. I gotta say this was pretty good and I will be returning for the rest of the menu.

    FLAUTAS AHOGADAS (to go)
    Susan J.

    Heard about Takos on IG, although I've driven past several times. There was quite a line due to the post I saw being on IG and Tik Tok. Takos is located in a strip mall that has plenty of parking. There are two tables inside and two outside. Small place, mostly for carry out orders. The cashier was friendly and not too phased by the surge of guests. He filled the self-serve salsa, lemon and cucumber station when I advised him here were out of cucumbers. I ordered what I saw on IG: Flautas Ahogadas. I ordered to go because the inside only seats 6 and the tables were full. Flautas were potato and pork. They were quite large and I could only eat 2. They were tasty and crispy. The flavor of the consume was ok and I enjoyed the cabbage and vegetables that were served with the dish (as well as the sliced cucumbers). Enjoyable meal and leftovers. Not crave-able enough for me to go back for that dish. I may try something else if in the area.

    Front counter, menu

    Tried Takos and had a really great experience overall. The service here is super friendly and welcoming -- easily one of the highlights of the visit. I ordered the flautas ahogadas and a shrimp taco. The flautas were delicious, topped with salsa, cheese, and lettuce, and packed with a beef-and-potato filling. I actually liked the potato in there, though it does feel a bit like filler -- and while the dish was really good, it's a little on the pricey side. The shrimp taco, on the other hand, was excellent and easily my favorite bite of the meal. The spot itself is small but very clean, tucked into a small lot, and feels well taken care of. Overall, great food, standout service, and a place I'd happily come back to -- especially for those shrimp tacos.

    Flautas

    We stumbled across this place because of a reel that popped up on my feed. And so very glad it did! At first I thought $16 was a little steep for flautas but they are huge! And worth every penny! Straight fire. And excellent customer service as well! 100/10 recommend.

    Let's see what the hype is about
    Carlos F.

    I've been here a few times since my initial review and what I can tell you definitively is that they take a very long time to make and serve your food. Even if you order ahead , avg about 20 mins after scheduled pick up time. All the take out drivers are upset as we all wait.

    Gringa
    Ann V.

    Literally a hole in the wall. Very tiny place but with very delicious food. When we got there around 1 pm there was a little line. Like moved fairly quickly by ready to wait a little for your food, it does take a little. The food is amazing. We tried ordering birria items but they were sold out already, so instead we ordered their famous Flautas Ahogas 10/10. Probably my favorite item I tried, warm, delicious and just great flavor. We also ordered the Tijuana torta 10/10, very tasty and delicious. The Gringa was delicious too. No complaints highly recommend visiting this spot. Amazing and delicious food.

    Sorry for the half eaten photo, it was so amazing I forgot to take. A pic before I started eating
    Kyle P.

    Seriously the flautas and carne asada tacos/burrito were hands down amazing! Next time we go back we will try their birria menu and taquitos and some of the other taco options. Seriously amazing food at this little spot, think we found us a new go to spot. Keep up the great work guys

    Shrimp tacos, a hard pass.  No flavor, unseasoned shrimp.

I ordered a vampiro with carne asada and al pastor(con todo), chicken taco, birria taco ( con todo) I'm going to start with my favorite, to my least favorite. Vampiro: visually it looked very appetizing. I was excited to try it. The looks were not deceiving! It was flavorful crunchy. It made me happy when I bit into it. My only Takeaway would be that it was a bit greasy. Aside from that, I loved it! Chicken taco: this one surprised me. When I bit into it, it had a nice smoky flavor in the meat. Very tasty! With a dash of the red and green salsa with a lemon squeeze! it really elevated it more. My only Takeaway would be a little dash of some salt overall I enjoyed this taco and it was delicious. Birria taco: this one made me sad. It was my least favorite and I love Birria. It lacked flavor the meat was chewy even with the salsa and lemon, I hated it. Super greasy although it looked beautiful it was not it. I wish I could have scored it better. I spent $14.80 I think this included the tip.

Nothing fancy, but it's pretty spacious and clean. I ordered three different kinds of tacos -- asada, al pastor, and birria. Most places charge extra for birria, but the price is the same and included in the Taco Tuesday special! The tortillas are homemade and delicious. The meat was all flavorful and tender. There were a few bits of fat in the meat that I spit out, but overall it was pretty good. The guacamole sauce is really good, and they're very generous with it. I enjoyed their green salsa as well. Be careful of the orange/red habernero salsa -- it has a kick that creeps up on you! The line can get fairly long and they do a good amount of take-out. However, the line moves pretty fast, and they assemble the tacos to order. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other menu items and the agua fresca!

    The O.G. Burrito here is hands-down the OG and so good! It's packed with birria, cheese, rice,…read morebeans, and salsa. The burrito comes with their consome, which complements the burrito so well. I also ordered their quesataco with birria and asada, regular asada taco, and their homemade churros. Out of the tacos, I liked the asada quesataco the best. For the churros, one order comes with two. I got an order of churros with lechera and another with Nutella. The churros were okay - maybe I expected more because the churros are made in-house. They do satiate the sweet tooth cravings, but I wouldn't go out my way for these. Their horchata, on the other hand, is really good (on the pricer end)! They have a few tables and benches inside and a decorative, fun, and vibrant outdoor seating. They're located on the corner of Rosecrans and Pioneer in the Norwalk Town Square plaza so you won't miss it!
