MY GO TO PLACE FOR TACO TUESDAYSSS $1.50 each (+ tax) but the quality is so sooooo good. Choices for taco Tuesday are chicken, asada, pastor, carnitas... and I think chorizo? I only get the asada and pollo because those are my favorites but honestly have never been done dirty by them Asada-- nice and juicy, steak done right Pollo-- I only order chicken here because it's so well seasoned and never everrrrr dry!! The guacamole is also amazing they chop it up and make it right there for you. It's not just sitting there waiting to be scooped, they make it to order!! And you can custom too ask for extra spicy and they'll put in more chilies They have green/red salsa options but just TRUST ME and get the red salsa!! It's deep and bold and spicy in a way that actually hits. Not watery, not bland, not tomatoey... just good spice!! And it's actually spicy which is rare now I think!! Perfect for me but yall try it at your own risk (but I swear it's so, soooooo good) There's a line sometimes but it's worth it!! Parking is easy (decent size lot or street parking if it's full) and there's an outside patio if you want to eat there.

Great tacos. Taco Tuesday is the time to get a variety of tacos. I ordered the pastor, carnitas, asada, pollo. I personally like the pastor the best. Toppings include raw onions and cilantro. Red sauce is very tasty and spicy hot. The green sauce adds a bit of flavor. I mix the green and red together. I squeeze lime on all my tacos bringing out the flavors. The service is super fast and the family is super friendly. The place resembles a small stand. There is a parking lot too.

Fish taco
Ranjitha A.

Trying Taqueria Carnalitos for Mexican food for the first time. Fish Taco is really amazinggg. We really liked it. The filling in the taco is really good and fresh. Chicken Flautas was good but there was no flavour with the filling. The dipping sauce and salad added more flavour to Flautas. Shrimp Tacos were good. Overall we loved the Fish Tacos the most. Will definitely recommend it to our friends. We will go back for Fish Tacos for sure. Ambience was good. Service was good as well. They are very generous with the in-house sauce and onion salad. We really appreciate the service. Presentation of the food is really appealing. Overall very good place for trying Mexican food.

I had a craving for tacos and swung by here to try it out since I've driven by it many times to get Boaster's kitchen across the street. I've seen a line here every once in a while and a line to me means it's good to excellent. On this particular day I ordered a Al pastor quesadilla and three Asada tacos. I'd say it was decent but nothing I'd go tell my friends about. Without the green or red sauce I'd have trouble finishing it off. The tacos were dry and the quesadillas were pretty greasy which is common. They have covered outdoor seating and a small parking lot for the strip mall but ample. I took my food to go but was within five minutes of the fast food takeout joint.

Super Fries

This place exceeded my expectations! The food was delicious and they give generous portions. The Sopes were phenomenal, crispy outside and soft inside. The super fries had seasoned fries which made all the difference. They had decent outdoor seating which was clean and had a tv. They were nice enough to play some cartoons for my kids while we enjoyed our meal. This is our new go to taco place

Bruuuuuuuuuh! Todo todo todito está riquísimo! Slap yo Mamá good! I've been craving tacos and we've tried a couple around town (I live in Whittier) BUT today my hubby brought home some tacos, tortas, quesadillas. The Tortas is juicy and delicious I'm mad I couldn't finish it. Anyway come try this food it's REALLY good!

I was very pleased with the quality and size of their breakfast burrito, and in many ways it's comparable to what many locals would deem the best breakfast burrito in town that is J&S on Garfield Ave. If that doesn't persuade you enough, the service was great, there was plenty of seating under two covered patios, and the menu has something for everyone - tacos, sopes, tortas, picaditos; you name it! I'll definitely be returning in the near future.

Grilled shrimp taco

Here and there I would have taco cravings so I ordered to go for a quick dinner. The employee was helpful and explained what he recommended for me to order. Tacos are $1.50 on Tuesdays only! Any other day is regular price at $2.25! I ordered 4 carne asada tacos, 2 cheese quesadillas with pollo , and 1 grilled shrimp taco. The portions were great and the sauce for the tacos were delicious. Red sauce was spicy but that was how I liked it haha! For 4 asada tacos, the employee gave me 2 green sauce and 1 red sauce. He also gave a side of sour cream for the cheese quesadillas. I would come back again.

I ordered through grub hub and when we got there they were still prepping my order. I had some time to kill so I didn't really mind. About 15 minutes or so later they apologized for the wait, and handed me a very well packaged bag of the food I ordered. The worker said that he appreciated the patience and upgraded my drink from a medium to a large. Their food was bomb! The ingredients were fresh and honestly very much worth the wait. I really enjoyed my flautas plate! Something about fresh shredded lettuce makes me happy.

2 days in a row eating tacos de asada from here lol They taste good! Their salsa roja was my favorite. We also had their quesa tacos which my son loved and an all meat burrito de asada. There is plenty of parking they do have a seating area. They do not have a public restroom. Customer service was great! There is many more options on their menu but I decided to try their tacos first and I'm a happy customer:)

Sergio's Tacos has been a longtime go-to spot for my family for many years. Overall, the food is…read moregood, and it's one of those places we keep coming back to because when they get it right, it really hits the spot. My personal favorite is their burrito, pretty much with any meat. They do a great job balancing and rolling it so that you get a good mix of everything in each bite, which makes a big difference. Family favorites also include their carne asada tacos, tacos in general, their nachos, and the tortas de milanesa. That said, the food can be a little hit and miss at times depending on how it's prepared and served. For me, the one thing I usually skip here is the al pastor. It tends to be a little too soupy for my taste, and in my experience it does not have that fresh off-the-trompo texture and flavor that I prefer. As for service, it really depends on who you get. It can be hit and miss, but for the most part the staff is not rude and things usually move along fine. Ambiance is pretty minimal in my experience, mainly because I usually take the food to go, so I'm not really coming here for the dine-in atmosphere. Pricing is decent, the food is generally satisfying, and this is still a spot that has earned its place as a family favorite over the years. Not perfect every single time, but definitely a place we've enjoyed and will keep coming back to.

Good quality ingredients very tasty carnitas burrito, hit the spot. The buche taco was big with generous amount of meat, green and red sauce were nice n spicy, they pack the heat.

Carnitas Tacos: The warm corn tortillas contain chopped pork shoulder that has been crisped up on the flattop. The simple dressing of a pickled jalapeno and pickled carrots with cilantro allows you to focus on the flavor of the carnitas. The meat is tender, rich and juicy, while also crispy. Carnitas Mulitas Aporkalypse: If you are really hungry, a mulitas will always hit the spot. Two large tortillas are covered in cheese to form a thin, crispy, cheesy crust that extends past the edges. More gooey cheese is filled between the tortillas, along onions, cilantro, and carnitas. If you select the Aporkalypse, you are signing up for an explosion of flavor that is provided by all the meats. There is an incredible assortment of pork butt, pork belly, pork skin, and burnt ends. The spectrum of textures is unrivaled from soft and succulent to crunchy and shattering. The slow cooking respects the ingredients and offers up the fullest expression of pork flavor. Parking: This location has a large parking lot.

I have been craving green salsa chicken enchiladas for a while, and almost every place where I have gotten them has been a disappointment. Finally, I found a place that comes thru, and the name is La Enchilada! This was a wonderful plate of green salsa chicken enchiladas for about $11, and I so happy with the flavor and the temperature of the food. The only knock on this place is that they don't give you a number to take to your table. So when they said, "green salsa chicken enchiladas" I said, "that's me" because that's what I ordered and I had the receipt to prove it. In actuality, I took someone else's order, completely by accident. Luckily, I didn't take 1 bite off my plate and the original customer trusted me and ate it. The cashier then brought me the plate that I had ordered, about 5 mins later. However, I feel like this entire situation was avoidable if they handed out a number to bring to your table. 4 stars!
