Teddy’s Red Tacos

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!

I've had Labio once or twice before and this version is my favorite. This was my first time having Cachete (beef cheek) and it was very tasty. The Cabeza and Asada were also fine choices. The Salsa Verde was mild & refreshing and the Salsa Habanero was very spicy. The tacos had the perfect amount of finely chopped meat and grasa, which is essential for balance. The Agua de Tamarindo was a perfect companion for the tacos. It was flavorful and not too sweet.

As an aside, the bathroom was clean, colorful in traditional Mexican designs and knickknacks, overall nicely decorated, as was the entire place.

I may have mentioned before They are POS by clover. That have beer, bottled sodas and cans. That have a unisex restroom Small salsa bar. If you want consomé to go they have 3 sizes. They have high chairs as well. This place is hard to find just look in the left corner of the strip mall and there they are. If your in a rush be patient the food is made to order so that means it will take a few. This mom and pop prides themselves on good food that also do catering and today I have seen a lot of pick ups of trays of Birria Wow Tostada bowl is awesome well plated shell looks quality.

I had ordered the birria plate and went to pack some salsa and pickled onions at the salsa bar. Food came out pretty quick which was great. The birria was good. It was very juicy and had a kick. There was a pretty big portion of meat too. The pickled onions were a great addition of flavor. The rice and beans were fine, but forgettable. I don't feel very impressed, but the whole meal was just decent. Overall the food was 3.5/5, but round up for the friendly service.

Your favorite Yelp correspondent was in the Downey area for a medical appointment when hunger pangs happily coincided w/ my need to kill a little time for traffic to abate. I ordered a mulita asada, a pair of asada tacos, my obligatory Diet Coke and a flan. The latter item would make my wife and doctor cringe because of my diabetes...So I ordered it solely for research, to give you fellow Yelpers an appraisal. My doctor and wife will be pleased to know I only sampled two bites of the flan. Tacos Gavilán features a well-provisioned self serve bar, brimming with all manner of flavorful sides. From refried beans to queso to finely minced onions y cilantro and multiple salsas, there's no shortage of items that'll elevate your order to Flavortown. The service is quick and friendly. The caliber of the food is good, tho not stellar. Certainly will fill you up and that's all you can or should expect at their (reasonable) prices The flan, made for Tacos Gavilán by a company called Flan-Tastic, is, true to its manufacturer, fantastic. Super moist, drenched in caramel with a bouncy, jello-like consistency. ALMOST as good as my best friend Mick's Cuban wife makes for special occasions. For my entree, two tacos, medium fountain beverage and dessert I spent $19.95, incl taxes.

I got the asada hot cheetos and the mix shawarma wrap. The smell of cooking here is delightful! I already know the food is going to be good with how the people dining in and taking out look really happy and excited. Thanks Yelp for the new suggestion! Also, idk if it was just because it's Sunday, but parking was plenty and easy. Good sized parking lot!

My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.
