    Just two salsas for a bunch of food that we got.
    Jessica O.

    We love coming to Teddys a lot but this time it was different. We normally order a bunch of food from here and when we were gonna leave we notice we only got 1 salsa with our 45 dollar meal, so we asked if we can get a few more and he proceeded to just give us 1 and we are like can we get more? And apparently the manager doesn't like to give out more salsa. Like I'm sorry what!?? That's ridiculous I would get it if I just got two tacos but we had a bunch of food I would expect at least 4 salsa with this order I got. I came in at 3:20pm so I would like to know who is the manager that is giving out 1 salsa for a big order. You guys need to keep check on your managers.

    My Red tacos plate with beans and rice lunch are good a great place to eat at in Downey Ca

    Birria tacos

    Had the tacos, the ramen, the soup, and the horchata and Jamaica drinks. My stomach wasn't a fan of the food and I don't recommend eating such greasy heavy food if you don't have easy bathroom access (you've been warned) The Jamaica drink(probably spelled it wrong) was okay. Tacos were eh, more crunchy than I'd like. Horchata wasn't flavorful. Overall kinda a let down since my friend was hyping up this spot so much but it was honestly whatever. We spent like $60 for 7 tacos, ramen, soup, drinks, and I've never been more disappointed by my cost to enjoyment ratio lol. It was edible to eat but probably won't come back

    This is purely on a miss order Ii ordered regular tacos and quesabirria tacos ii got all tacos disappointed not the first time this happens the food is always good in flavor jjst wish ii got what ii ordered now going to have to sit there and physically check all food before leaving

    6/17/22... deluxe platter $16.01. Bro Idk about that price with no drink and soggy tortillas.

    My original review of Teddy's Red Tacos for the Downey, CA, location got moved to the Whittier page. Who did that?! I hadn't been back to Teddy's since my brother was in town in September 2020. It was always so packed. Back then Teddy's was 4 stars according to my algorithm. It hasn't been as packed like before and now I know why... Was there on 6/17/22. Got my usual "Deluxe Plate" which is now $16.01 if you pay with plastic. Deluxe Plate: taco, mulita, beef quesadilla, 8oz consome, & two tortilla chips Pay with cash to avoid the 4% surcharge to your overall bill. It's in small, bold lettering on the menu. They used to remind folks of this when they ordered, but have since quit. The birria is still good, but not my favorite in town. This time, the tortillas were all soggy. I live less than a minute away. Parking sucks sometimes. Park in the alley if you have to. MORE TIPS - Unless you ask for beef in it for a nominal fee, your consome (broth) will be vegetarian + beef quesadillas can be requested "plain" (no onions or cilantro) for picky kids - the tortillas are small, street-style sized + outdoor seating + drive-thru RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 3 | Service: 3 | Environment: 4 | Price: 2 |

    Came to Teddy to see what all the hype is about . Well first and foremost the menu is rather small but to the point . You're here for the birria right so that all they offer nothing else . The tacos are on the small side but what they lack in size they make up in flavor . I had 4 tacos with cheese and. Medium consomé to go with the vampiro and a coke . The consomé was nice and hot and they give u tostadas to go with it which is a nice touch . The tacos taste was good and hot . While I can see why people like this spot it's okay not the best birria ever but decent and when you're hungry Thai would hit the spot just right . The service is okay the young ladies taking our order did smile and were kind of sharp . Other than that it's a good spot.

    Expired salsa and expired lemons
    Jessica T.

    I have previously experienced this location giving me yellow, past due lemons at least twice before. But the salsa clearly being past due draws the line for me. GROSS!!

    Deluxe combo plate
    Janelle A.

    The food was phenomenal, just the right amount of spice and the birria was very tender and savory. I got the deluxe combo and it is very generous of a size. The soup tastes especially better during night time visits. Will come back for sure. The service was helpful and the ambiance was clean and spacious.

Everything on the menu is packed with flavor, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The salsa has just the right amount of kick, and the guacamole is fresh, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

If you're looking for authentic tacos with amazing homemade tortillas, incredible salsa, and delicious guacamole, Tacos Don Goya is a must-try. I can't recommend this place enough!

I like the tortillas. The arrachera was good but for the higher price, I would've liked the meat quality to still be a little better. They have a salsa bar outside but it was a bit messy looking on my visit. I chose not to use it as it visually looked unappetizing. SERVICE They are friendly here. PARKING This is basically a small stand. There is no seating and no parking. You can park next door at Starbucks but you might get towed. Your other option is street parking further away and then just walk there.

Vibrant personality bilingual so knowledgeable. Basicly she's got this counter handled! Great customer service. Oh and she is wait staff as well My Wife ordered Birria tostada bowls and I went back to the wet burrito. Horchata is blended well. Hispanic music flowing makes a comfortable sit in. 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. My wet burrito is the bomb with avocado sliced on top. Haven't found a place to top this. Food taste fresh and good taste This establishment is clean and cozy yet booming.

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.

Make sure you come with a few people so everyone can get something different and you can share because the portions are huge. My chicken shawarma plate was like an explosion because every bite you just taste savory chicken with the most fire rice and you get 2 pita breads so you can make yourself nice little bites with salad and hummus and the sauces it comes with are just mouthwatering. The hot Cheeto burrito with the nacho cheese omgoshhhh there is no way you're going to take a bite and have something not to like about it. The overall service and my dine in experience was immaculate, we were greeted by the owner Ali who was running around getting everything done and at the same time the smile never faded away from his face he makes you feel so welcome that you actually want to sit and dine in because it's such a cozy vibe. If you have room left after all this deliciousness make sure you grab some of the best Fresca I've had, next time for sure trying some dessert. 1000/10 experience. Thank you! See you very soon. WORTH ITTTT!!!
