    Best el pastor tacos around! You can't beat their taco Tuesday special. Call ahead and then drive down the wait is shorter! My kids love their bean and cheese burritos. Been coming to this truck for about ten years and they never disappoint!

    I wanted to be more comfortable with my review since this is a local spot so I up'd our taco dates which I am not complaining about. It's a decent taco spot.... 3.5 stars I personally don't feel like Whittier has any of the best taco spots. I don't ever crave a certain location.. My issue is they are not consistent. Every visit is different. Its a hit or miss plus there is a taquero that works with no urgency so calling in your order might be the best bet to avoid long wait time. Chorizo tacos are a favorite and somewhat spicier than other location. Tripas are crunchy like Chicharron. Asada is a hit or miss but the salsa makes the difference just add more for flavor it's not spicy. There is a Taco Tuesday deal 2 for $1.50 or $1.75.(sorry I'm not 100 on price) Prices are decent in general. Carne asada burrito are small. So fyi. On a good night it gets the job done and hits the spot! But I want bombness everytime. Yelp reviews 45/100

    Easily my favorite among the growing number of taco trucks roaming the streets of Whittier. Delicious, well seasoned tacos only a dollar each! (Lengua, cabeza, tripas, mariscos $1.50 - $3.00.) The best meat fillings, in my opinion, include the savory and chewy beef cheeks and the crunchy but not overcooked tripas and chorizo. The juicy shredded chicken, however, may be the go-to choice on the menu. Moreover, they top the plate with seasoned grilled onions and freshly sliced cucumbers after the tacos are layered with diced onions, cilantro and a choice of zesty salsa roja (red sauce) or salsa verde (green sauce). MEATS: asada (steak), al pastor (Shepard style pork), pollo (chicken), chorizo (sausage), carnitas (braised pork), lengua (beef tongue), cabeza (beef cheeks), tripas (guts), pescado (fish), camaron (shrimp) MENU: tacos, burritos, quesadilla, tortas, sopes, nachos, fries HOURS: Tuesday - Sunday 6:00 - 11:30pm Taco Tuesday deal is two tacos for $1.50. A handful of stacking chairs available for very limited seating.

    Updated menu!!! 7/2023

    There's a few taco trucks up and down Leffingwell, and my family likes this one the best. The quality is good, food is clean, great service too. We like their al pastor in anything (I ask for them to make it suave, not burnt). Al pastor or carne asada quesadillas/ nachos / or fries are really good. The other meats are good too, just note that the chicken here is a tinga breast meat, so not your usual grilled chicken. It's a little on the drier side but get it in their flautas, yum! They also give you grilled onions, jalapeños, and cucumber or radish and lime. They have great horchata, salsas, and their taco Tuesday deal 2 for $2! If you don't want to wait in line, call in the order ahead and just pay cash at the window. Enjoy!

    The al pastor is BOMB. Eat that! Tacos, burritos, sopes, however you enjoy. Service is very friendly.

    Come for the Al Pastor! The entire menu is good but the Al Pastor on a spit with pineapple is everything I've ever needed in life! Al Pastor tacos, burritos, quesadillas...get it any way...get it every way...it's delicious!

    I was gonna give four stars but they earned five! I've been looking for a taco truck that hits the spot like my old place back in the CPT. And this spot made my tummy happy. Meat is flavorful... Got 2 pastor. I could see the pineapple! So so good and not too sweet. Also got 2 asada which was cooked and seasoned well. Prices are good too. Taco Tuesday is where it's at! Salsa was the only thing I wasn't completely sold on. Don't get me wrong... It was savory and zesty and made with love. I just NEED my salsa HOT I'll try green salsa next time or see if they got any chiles cuz I will be back for more! They are speedy and nice there too which is a plus!

    Best Bites has three food truck gathering in the Whittier and Santa Fe Springs area on Mondays,…read moreTuesdays, and Thursdays. My particular visit was on a Tuesday night at Pioneer high school in Whittier. There were 12 food trucks circling the edge of the parking lot. At 6:30 PM there were a lot of people eating, but not a lot of people waiting in lines at the food trucks. By 7:30 PM, most of the crowd had dissipated. When there's not a lot of business, the food truck owners tend to play on their phones. Many of my Instagram and tweets were commented or retweeted, which tells me that they were not busy enough in sales. It's an excellent food truck gathering, with plenty of choices. As a long time food truck blogger, I feel that there's too many trucks and not enough people. Best bites could reduce the trucks from 12 to say, eight trucks, and there will still be plenty of trucks for the people, and more business for the food trucks. A total win-win situation. I do like there's plenty of tables and chairs, and a DJ spinning catchy tunes. On my visit there was also a Photo Booth that the fans can use. Plenty of free parking, but unfortunately once the sun went down, the place got very dark. I hope this location continues to thrive, as the location is very good and the community seems to like it.

    Many options to choose from. Even dessert! They have a dj spinning great tunes for entertainment…read more Tables set up to eat there. And I love the fact that it's close to home. At Cal High!

Well that did not happen to me when I finally got to try a Lobster roll from the famous LobstaTruck. A few years ago I was at the Tustin AMC when I saw the truck. I had heard about it so we went over only to see a line that was 40 yards deep. No way to make our movie so we put it off. A few months ago I was somewhere that they were going to be only to learn that the truck broke down and the killer was last month when I was in Irvine and saw on Twitter that they were a couple blocks away. I finished my meeting and drove right over only to see the driving away. Aaahhgggg!!!! So today was a few miles away in Long Beach and decided to try the roll. I was shocked to find that there was no line and only a few marines that had just picked up their orders. I was surprised to hear whether I wanted butter or mayo. I thought I all rolls came with mayo but I asked what was more popular. The gal mentioned that the butter was more popular so I had to try that one. I was thinking about adding the extra meat but I am glad I didn't, the roll was perfect although I wish it were a little bigger. The roll here comes on what looks like a giant buttered Texas toast, not the hoagie type roll I was imagining but the toast was really delicious and adds a lot of taste to the roll. My roll had plenty of meat and had a few big chunks that you can really bite into. It had some butter on the lobster but not so much that it was oily. Just perfect. I cant believe how good it was to taste this awesome explosion of deliciousness and I cant wait to get back to try the sandwich with mayo; you know for research. Next time I will also try the lobster bisque soup. The Marine that was eating next to me also had the soup and it really made me crave it but I had a big breakfast this morning and so I will have to chase down this truck again.

    We decided to go to the Whittier night market off of Whittier Boulevard. Not really a night…read moremarket, but pretty close. Located off of the frontage street, by a grassy street divider, this is a spot to enjoy the eats on the grass like a picnic. I opted this spot, which has a IG of cali tacos please, but no longer exists. This spot on yelp was referred to as sumo tacos. The workers were friendly and very helpful. The sumo fries was delicious. The asada itself was unique. It had a smokey flavor which separates itself from other spots. It appeared to be cooked on charcoal, but given it is a food truck, that would be hard to pull off. The sumo taco was something different. It's cheese melted like a tortilla which holds the asada. It was very heavy, greasy and difficult to enjoy. The chips was a plus where you can rip the taco and place it on the chip. If you want something heavy, this sumo is for you. A bit heavy to my liking, so you might want to try a regular taco or burrito. But then again, it's called sumo for a reason. Curious if this spot would experiment with gorditas, a crisp tortilla. I think their filing would knock this out of the park. I also wish they would advertise what drinks they have. Nonetheless, worth a try.
