The wife and I were craving some tacos, we heard some good things about tacos don goyo so we…read moredecided to try it out. We got there on a Friday at 12pm and when we arrived to the location, the parking was ridiculous, they do not have any parking for customers other than in a very small cul de sac which is French for a dead end. They have 1 parking spot for handicap. It is obvious that the neighboring houses complained to the city about their customers taking all the residential parking so they built a wall in the middle of the street, crazy right! Anyways, let's get into the food!!! So we got the tacos, 4 pastor and 4 asada and a horchata, came out to about $50. Pretty pricey, worth it? I don't know. The tacos were great, the asada has a char flavor and the pastor is freshly roasted and served with pineapple, the tortillas seemed to be made by hand as well and gave it that real authentic flavor. The horchata was a bit too sweet. I would recommend this place, but make sure you go when it is not busy. The staff were polite and helpful when ordering, they did not rush at all. They have 3 benches in the shade available to eat on. It is an outside dining in a clean environment.

Great place to eat if you're in the Downey or LA area. I'd say it's one of the best taco spots--my…read morewife and I really love it. I highly recommend the tacos, especially the carne asada and al pastor--they're the best on the menu. I've tried the quesadillas, but they weren't as tasty, and the tripitas weren't the best either. For the best experience stick with carne asada and al pastor. They have about three small tables on the side to eat, but there's no parking or restroom available. Bring hand sanitizer and be ready to park wherever you can (without causing any trouble). It's the LA area, so parking is always a challenge. But don't let that stop you from trying these tacos. Cheers!

The meats are well seasoned and tender, but the al pastor is unforgettable. My al pastor taco came with corn tortilla and it's not too thick, perfectly chewy.

*** Cash only & raising taco price to $2.50 starting in mid August ***…read more Chema's Tacos is a mom-and-pop + brick-and-mortar taco shop in Whittier and was established in 1986. They only sell taco - no burrito, no beans & rice, and no chips. [Parking]: Limited and few spots available right in front of the taco shop. However I had no issue finding a spot on Saturday night. [Ambiance & Amenities]: This taco shop doesn't have the sexiest decor. There are 7 indoor tables, one ATM, and old-school toy vending machines. One unisex restroom available. [Menu]: 7 meat options for taco - carne asada, al pastor, tripas, pollo (chicken), sesos (brain), buche (stomach), cabeza (head), and chorizo (sausage). *** Carne asada taco + Al pastor taco (with everything, dine-in - $2.25): One of employees brought a plate of tacos to my table. Unfortunately I thought both tacos with double-layer tortilla tasted just alright - salsa had a hint of spicy kick, but flavor profile was bland. *** Feels like this is one of those nostalgia spots for locals who live in Whittier for decades, but there are just too many good $2+ street tacos in LA in 2025.

The prices were fair for the amount of food you receive. The chilaquiles were honestly very delicious and full of flavor -- definitely my favorite item we tried. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the quesadilla. My son did not enjoy it very much. As for the service, it was not the most welcoming experience. The staff mostly stared at us, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable during our visit. this change the atmosphere. The songs were very catchy. The music is amazing, but the steering problem was uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the food itself was enjoyable enough that I do look forward to coming back again and trying more items from the menu.

I was very annoyed because I just thought it was going to be a quick turn around for some tacos! I almost left without the food because I had things to do! Lol luckily I stuck it out and when I tried the tacos I was very pleased. The meat was moist and flavorful. The lettuce and tomato were fresh. The salsa was good. I thought, I need to come back try other things. Fast forward to tonight - I finally returned. Again, the line was long and ordering took nearly 30 minutes before it was my turn. I ordered sopes de asada and tacos suaves de cabeza, lengua and pastor. It took over 30 mins to get the food but when it came it looked delicious and I thought all the items were very good. I ESPECIALLY loved the taco de pastor. It had great flavor and was so juicy! The lengua was very tender and had a good flavor. The cabeza was also tender with good flavor. They definitely season and cook their meats well. Too may places have very bland meats, and/or it's very chewy or dry or whatever else goes wrong. The asada on the sope was very tasty and it also was tender. I would definitely return. Do not come here if you're in a rush. This place is good if you have a lot of free time lol. It really is one cashier. There are no waiters. You have to ask the cashier for things you want like salsa or lemon or refills. I don't know why they don't get another person to help with the front, or another cook. So, just come, be chill, and expect to wait.
