Literally subpar tacos for the price. Greasy af. No flavor. The salsa is at minimum ok.

Came by to try their burritos here. It's a really big burrito. $10.00 burrito and a $1 charge to use debit card. I almost finished it but not quite all the way. It tastes okay but not my favorite. The salsa was not so good either. read more

I'm not sure why people are giving high reviews on this place, maybe they're not familiar with real Mexican food. I ordered an asada burrito that came with a small portion of flavorless meat, alot of canned refried beans, little bit of rice & a light sprinkle of cebolla & cilantro- bland burrito. My hubby got a torta de al pastor that was a simple ciabatta bread with meat & melted jack cheese & NOTHING ELSE. A torta is NOT ONLY MEAT, cheese & CIABATTA bread. A basic torta is supposed to be made with telera bread or bolillo, have avocado, queso fresco, salsa & lettuce. This place is pricey & not worth it. Waste of money & time. read more

Good authentic mexican food. Owner is really friendly and you feel welcomed. You get plenty of food tacos are packed the carne asada is good not greasy or salty. read more

These were some alright tacos. Pretty good flavor in the Al Pastor meat and the salsa was really good yet spicy. Customer service was okay, don't expect too much out of a taco joint. Only thing people might not tolerate is the wait for the food. Don't get me wrong, it's nice knowing that the cooked meat isn't sitting there on a grill, but it does take quite a while for your food to come out. Ambience is relaxed and somewhat quiet. It's definitely worth a try! read more

Bomb ass taco's, Great spot to come to at night after drinking or even in the morning anytime tacos are phenomenal and taste like a fresh off the grill Pastor is exceptionally good with the pieces cut it's a bigger slices not grounded the carne asada is made to orderAnd has the texture, look.

White menudo with no hominy and hardly any meat. I waited for 20 min and was the only customer in the store. Menudo is bland and was boiling hot while all the staff were just standing around laughing. I'll never come back here, this was a waste of money and also disgusting, had to cover it up with lime and tapatio read more

I had 1 alpastor taco, 1 lengua taco and 1carne asada taco just to try the different meats and everything was super flavorful. My brother had a carne asada burrito and he said his was super good too. By far best tacos I have had in a long time. read more

Nice little place with a casual ambiance, feels like a home feel, the owner is very nice and laidback. The tacos are delicious and not expensive. I came for the $1 taco Tuesday deal. I was surprised by the handmade tortillas, they add such an amazing flavor! It's like little Mexico in here. I will be back for the tortas and burritos. read more

This place is awesome. I got 2 asada, 2 pastor & 1 shrimp taco! I couldn't believe how good it all was. The shrimp was breaded & fried then chopped up, it was delish. And the avocado salsa was spicy, I couldn't stop eating it. Less then $10 for 5 tacos and that included a $1 tip in a the jar. Definitely worth going here. It's a tiny shop with a few tables, I got mine to go. read more

It was my first time here. Hubby says second but I don't recall the first so here we are. Ordered a beef burrito, 2 beef tacos, and 2 Al pastor tacos. I gotta say, they were pretty delicious. Not greasy. Good portion. And although the Al pastor could use a little more flavor, I won't take away from it because there are tons of different recipes out there. Food tasted delicious. That green avocado salsa was so full of flavor and had such a satisfying kick (I love flavorful spicy). I'll be going back just for tacos and an abundance of that green salsa. read more

Asked for a Asada burrito.. looks like it's pure rice and beans.. definitely not going there anymore read more

I barely see taco places with the spit fire grill so I had to try it. I ordered the al pastor torta. The meat is delicious on its own, but the limey green sauce truly is a total game changer. My friend tried the shrimp and pastor tacos, and agreed this taqueria's strength is definitely al pastor. So in case I wasn't clear, Al pastor + guac sauce + onion + cilantro = flavor packed/why didn't I find this place sooner/just do it. read more

Pizza & tacos? Maybe not but when you see a "trompo al pastor" you stop. I only tried the tacos so my review is based on that. Good authentic al pastor, super soft and tender lengua. Excellent service and good prices. The only problem is that you need like 20 tacos to get full so my suggestion is either lower your price to $1 tacos or load up more on the meat and double down on the tortillas. read more

I blame the munchies for choosing this place. You either have good pizza or good tacos, seldom both. Gina's pizza and tacos is right by Grandma Lopiccolo's in Whittier, CA. My husband and I needed something to hold us over for three hours of gin rummy and go fish and Grandma's stale white bread and salami would not make the cut. My husband saw the sign "pizza and tacos" and flipped a U. I was skeptical about the name but we decided to give it a try. Inside, the place is quaint and seats about 20. The walls are painted that shade of red that stimulates hunger and cutely decorated with little signs about tacos and one encouraging guests to "like us on Yelp." Two of the menus were dedicated to Mexican food and one for pizza. I wanted a burrito. Being the pizza freak that he is, my husband ordered a cheese pizza for us to split. While we were waiting, I checked in on yelp and got a free taco. That, was absolutely delicious. The pizza however was not. The cheese was rubbery and we couldn't eat another slice. At this point we hadn't paid and were wondering if we could get tacos instead. The owner and the cook took it very offensively and told us that in the whole 30, no 60, no 30 years the restaurant had been open, nobody has ever complained about the pizza. Shame on us. At this point the owner told us "no pay" and we left. On behalf of my husband and I, we apologize for the offense. The taco was delicious. read more

Tacos are pretty good, nice little whole in the wall spot. Good size/portion and the best part was home made yellow corn tortillas! I don't know if they do it everyday but they were bomb.com! And the Art Deco is so cute. And on my tacos I had to ask for the grilled jalapeño, FYI, doesn't come like that. read more

This is my 3rd time getting tacos from there and it's usually when I'm in a rush or I didn't cook dinner. No regrets. One of the best chicken and asada tacos I've had. Their green salsa adds even more flavor. Super delicious. I've seen they have a taco stand in the evenings I definitely recommend. read more

Amazing taco spot! I typically go to the restaurant next door for some ceviche. And we decided to stop here. Taco Tuesday $1 each! The Pastor tacos were so good we ordered 6 more to take home. Small family owned cute little place, great customer service. Will definitely come again for the Tortas. Only thing I wish they had was, air-conditioner and chips and salsa while we waiter. But then again, you go there for a quick stop! read more

When you read pizza and tacos you know it's too good to be true I blame the munchies on this!!!! I usually eat in the same Plaza at a sea food spot called ortegas next door wich is great. I have seen this restaurant many times and since my chick and I ate a edible and were stoned out of our minds pizza and tacos was just heaven. Pizza is worse than lil cesars. Made very very cheap. Rubbery cheese. Do not get the pizza. On the other hand the burrito I order was pretty good. I give it 3 stars for the yelp sign!!! read more

9 pm and some guy was there behind the kitchen asking me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a Pastor taco. He proceeded to take the pastor meat out the fridge ( I looked at him , He looked at me ) It seemed awkward so I drove away. P.s. It felt as if the guy was getting ready to close (reason why I ordered one Taco). Pastor was not ready , guy was not ready , nothing was ready. read more

The Tortas are amaaazzzzzinggg try the asada one . No fat pieces and it's so bomb on a thick bread

First time here I tried the al pastor burrito. I didn't really care for the taste of the rice but everything else in the burrito was good. Maybe there's specialty is the tacos so I'll be back for tacos instead. The wait was a bit long but it's due to fresh food so I understand. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

Tried the steak, chicken and pastor tacos and they were all dry and flavorless until drenched in lime juice and red or green sauce. There were also some shady activities going on in the parking lot so will definitely steer clear of this place at all cost. read more

I've been coming here a few years now, they are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Plus they have the best Mexican food I could find in the area. With fresh menudo and home made tortillas, they are hard to beat. read more

I just had dinner here today and all I can say is wow! My husband was driving around the other night and he saw the truck with the picture of the Al Pastor on the rack and he had been wanting to go. Walked inside and the owners were immediately super friendly and greeted us. We came for the Al Pastor tacos so that's what we ordered and that's what my review is on. My husband got 3 tacos and I got 2 since we had Thai Food earlier, which was also fantastic but that's another review. The tacos looked awesome, they had plenty of meat and you could tell these were legit, from the spinner grill Al Pastor tacos. Tried the meat alone and it was delicious and then tried it with the salsas and lime and it was awesome! I really loved these tacos and they have a bunch of days with lots of specials so that's always a plus to come back. The meat was well seasoned but not over salted which is a plus. I will def give them a try again soon and try their pizzas and other meats. read more

I always love going to Mexico for some real Mexican food, but finally a piece of Mexico has come to me! Don't expect the frills of those Americanized taquerias trying to pass off as legit and charging you for appearances. The place is a bit of a hole in the wall, but these are authentic Mexican tacos. And the torta=spicy, greasy goodness. Abuelita would approve. Oh and the green sauce is magic! read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for good tacos. I walked in and was greeted by the owner and his son. I ordered asada and al pastor tacos and they were served on handmade tortillas. They were really good. The green avocado salsa has the right amount of spice and they serve the tacos with the grilled onions. Yummy tacos and great customer service! I will definitely be back with the family. We have found our local taco spot! read more

Love this little taqueria. Their new makeover makes this restaurant even cuter. The family that runs this joint is super friendly and welcoming. Attentive to what we needed. I had two of their menu items and they were both delish! First we ordered the Gringas, which is similar to a quesadilla. You can order it with the different kinds of meat. They serve it with both red sauce and a green guacamole sauce. I'm still thinking about that green sauce it was sooo good!! I also ordered a Torta with asada, super bomb! I'ts a little different then a traditional torta, the bread that they use is different but amazing. Instead of have a soggy bun its crisp. I even added some of their green sauce to the torta which put it over the top. I would definitely recommend this taqueria to friends and family and I will definitely be make a return there as well. read more

Highly recommended!!! Small but wholesome place where the food is good well known for thier gringas they make everything by hand so the tortillas are like no other read more
