The Taco Man Taqueria - Four kind of meat tacos - Tacos Near Me - Upland, California

I placed the catering order for 50 people this past weekend from the Upland location. I chose the carne asada, al pastor, and chicken. The order came with sides of rice and beans, diced pineapple, diced onions/cilantro, limes, roasted serrano peppers with grilled onions, red and green salsas, two extremely large bags of chips, AND serving spoons, plates and forks/napkins. Exceptional service, and everything was absolutely delicious! Our guests enjoyed everything and we received so many positive compliments. Thank you again for helping make our event such a success! We truly appreciate your outstanding service, and we look forward to working with you again in the future! read more

We were short on time but still managed to swing in, and I'm glad we did. The ratings online were really good, and they were spot on. I ordered the al pastor tacos. They were packed with flavor and genuinely delicious -- the kind of tacos you keep thinking about after you leave. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the quick stop even easier. If you're nearby and need something fast that still tastes like the real thing, this is an easy yes. read more

Super clean restaurant inside that does the simple things right. - Battered Fish Taco: Nicely fried and big breading. The oil was good quality and tasted very "clean". Loved the topping but just wish there was more of that spicy mayo sauce cause it was scrumptious. - Pastor Nachos: Huge amount of toppings. The pastor had a nice touch of sweetness and a good amount of fat. They didn't skimp on the meat and used shredded jack cheese that was very flavorful. I appreciated that over some cheese sauce. Just wish I didn't get lettuce on top so that's my bad. Will be back to try more items. A highlight is the Pineapple Habañero salsa! read more

Good asada and a delicious burrito bowl! For almost $15 for a burrito bowl, it's definitely a lot of food, enough for me to have left overs the next day. I also ordered a al pastor Tijuana taco - their tortillas are delicious and overall it's a tasty taco but I will say I was disappointed in the Al pastor. It was thick cut which was tasty but it was missing I think the crispiness that you get from a traditional taco stand. The restaurant is clean and serves beer. They have 3 big tvs and they have a taco Tuesday! The staff was very kind and helpful, even though you could tell they get BUSY. Overall the food is delicious and tastes home made, maybe next time I'll just ask for my al pastor to be crispy. We will be back read more

Came here for some lunch with some friends. $10 Lunch with a choice of a burrito or bowl. I tried the chicken bowl and wow, it was a big bowl! Only ate like half of it! lol. This is my second time coming here and they also have delicious tacos and burritos as well. If ur in the Upland area, highly recommend this place! Great service and food came out quick! Place does get packed during busy times especially both lunch snd dinner times. At times there's no table to sit at! I suggest take your order to go if there's no table to sit and eat at. read more

Prior to coming here, we bought a certificate to this restaurant supposed to be worth $30 of food from clipp.com. When we arrived, we placed our order and showed the young man (very nice kid, FYI) our voucher and expected to get $30 credit toward our order, however, he let me know that the owner will not honor the coupon and that the owner is well aware we bought the coupon legally and in good faith, but he no longer wants to honor these coupons. Is this bait and switch? 100%. Is this fraud? 100%. Is this a breach of contract? 100%. My next step, I will be filing a civil lawsuit against this establishment. I will also take to social media and spread the word regarding this establishment and their refusal to honor their contracts. After I win my lawsuit, I will then post the results and notify the general public of this owners unprofessional business practices. read more

Taco Man is in Upland at the Sprouts shopping center. It is on the north west corner of it. First, I've been aware of Taco Man for years because we used to visit him at his stand and I'd been disappointed in myself for not going to the store. Since I had some time today, I thought to myself that I should run in and get a couple of tacos before I go get my nails done because I remember the owner's posts from Facebook and I like to support the small businesses of Upland. I go in and it's packed. I was surprised and happy for him to see all the hustle and bustle. I ordered a shrimp taco (not on menu) and a carne asada taco. I have not yet eaten the shrimp taco because the carne asada taco was super filling. It was also very good. I was very happy with it. The owner came around and gave me some chips and those were good too. Not too salty and nice and fresh. I'm a salsa snob and love hot salsas. I ordered the pineapple habanero because it was supposed to be the hottest and also got the red. For me, the pineapple is too sweet to feel hot so I was thankful I got the red because that went perfectly with the chips and the taco. Even with the hustle and bustle, my order didn't take too long. The owner did a great job of going around to clean and make sure customers were well taken care of. Happy I had the time to go in today. Loved the energy and happy for the store and how full it was. read more

Great food and wonderful customer service! Their tacos and burrito bowls are my go to! They have refreshing Mexican sodas and Aguas Fresca

The service was good and the ambiance was on point! I was so excited to see taco man branch out and do his thing. I remember getting tacos from his stand years and years at special events so I was so excited to see The Taco Man close by and couldn't wait to try it again. Unfortunately after waiting for my order I picked up my tacos and burrito and the tacos were so cold and hard! We all were so disappointed in the food we basically took a few bites and threw the rest away (and they're not cheap). My queso cheese was hard and cold, and the meat was cold, hard, and chewy. $30 down the drain. Based on this experience I would not recommend them. Im not even sure if I would eat here again which is very unfortunate because I was rooting for them! read more

I thought I had reviewed this location before, but apparently not. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would. The meat choices are minimal, but the ways you can enjoy them are not. My go-tos are the asada and al pastor, and I prefer them Tijuana-style or Sonora-style. I tried the Taco Man style once, and it was just overflowing with cheese. I would go back, but it's definitely not my go-to spot. The two times I've been, it's taken over 30 minutes to get our order. read more

Yum!. Fast and friendly service. Great menu full of good choices and resonable prices. Another new favorite place!

7/1/25 Met up with friends to celebrate Taco Tuesday at this chill place. The vibe is easy & comfortable. It's a walk-up to order your food and staff are friendly. Self serve for your drinks means free refills! I ordered 3 types of the special $2 tacos: al pastor, carnitas & I forgot my 3rd option, plus chips & guac ($6). My friends were almost finished with their meals. I requested for grilled onions & I received some that were barely grilled & cut into big chunks. The flavor of the tacos were a bit underwhelming & my tortilla chips tasted a bit stale. I wanted to enjoy these with my guac but it just did not taste appealing. This shop shares a lot with other businesses but parking is free. read more

The few times I have been, it has been good, but nothing to shout about. I like the quality of the meats, and I do especially enjoy the burrito, and the price seems on par with the average. I don't like that the wait is always a bit too long, and the salsas are lackluster, we have to work on that salsa Taco Man. I will add, it's nice that you can watch the game there while you eat. read more

The Taco Man catered my daughter's graduation party for 150 guests. The service was professional and the quality of food provided was exceptional. The meat was amazing and everyone complimented on how good everything was. Most guests went back for seconds and there were still leftovers that were neatly packaged for our family to enjoy. It was a 10/10! There was never a line and the food was ready for all guests on time. Linens were clean and ironed, aprons were clean, they used black market umbrellas instead of ezups, salsas were labeled, and everything was very clean and sanitary. The owner is also a huge supporter of the local schools and programs. Great business to work with! read more

Service was good nothing outstanding. First time here I ordered a bowl the green bowl. Lettuce cabbage meat cheese and avocado sauce. Ingredients was very fresh lettuce was cold and crunchy cheese was fresh the bowl was a good size I didn't finish it. But they forgot the avocado sauce so it was not mixed in the salad. The girl at the register when I told her I didn't get the sauce actually looked in my salad to see if it actually was not there the other girl didn't look just said I will give you some on the side if you don't mind. It was all good. The place was clean I would go back to try something else. read more

Taco Tuesday here is not to be missed. But I would come back anytime for the good food and friendly service. Staff very nice. Street tacos $2, chips $2, beer $3. I really love the carnitas. The chicken is grilled and chopped. We also got a couple burritos to go for some people back home. Those are on the expensive side but they are good and big. They would feed two in our house. It's a counter service place, seat yourself, strip mall storefront, Sprouts is the anchor store. I believe this is also in the Glendora Food Hall. read more

Why is it so hard to find a really good taco restaurant nowadays? Uh, I know why, but let's not go there Anyway, curiosity got the best of me and I gave this place a shot. I've been incredibly disappointed with how mediocre and expensive restaurants are nowadays since returning from Thailand, which has some of the best food in the world. But Southern California is also supposed to have some of the best food in the world. These tacos are very solid. The meat is juicy and tender, even if it's not as fresh as street tacos. The sauce, onions, cilantro, tortilla -- all the accoutrements are done well. The only bad thing about this place is the price. It's not cheap. Four bucks a taco is pretty crazy when you can get even better tacos for $2 in L.A., but this ain't L.A. The taco scene in I.E. is weak AF right now. This place will leave your wallet gaping but will solve your taco problem up to L.A.'s standards. Customer service wise, it was dinner rush. It took 20 minutes to get one taco and they forgot the the sauce. Yikes! However, the sauces were great? read more

Im always in the mood for a good taco and when a place gets recommended to me I have to try it out. So here we are! The food is pretty amazing. I tried the Pastor, Carne Asada, and Campechano. The tacos were loaded with sauce and cabbage, cheese and beans. The salsas had great flavor with a nice kick. If you can handle the heat I highly recommend the Pineapple Habanero salsa. Sweet with heat. I ordered the regular street tacos, the Sonora tacos, the taco man style tacos, and the mulitas. Not one complaint except that I didn't have room to try more. Susan was great when helping us at the register. She answered all our questions and was patient with explaining sizing and ingredients to us. The vibe is very relaxed. Great music, sports on the TV, and a mixed variety of younger folks, older folks, and families. This place hits the spot and checks all the boxes for a great Taco place to enjoy some food with the family. Oh and they crank the food out really fast too. Needless to say, we're coming back! read more

Got me some asada Tijuana Tacos here at The Taco Man. First off they weren't real Tijuana Style. Anyway took a nice big bite, the guac was decent but the asada tasted a little too charred, like a Smokey taste, not your classic quality asada taste you get from the big dogs. Overall an alright taco, not Tijuana style and nothing I would come back and eat again. Tijuana Style Tacos: 6.9 read more

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but this really bothered me. The restaurant itself was nice and the dog was cute, but I honestly don't think animals should be allowed inside where people are eating. It felt really unsanitary watching a dog walking around near tables and food. I understand people love their pets, but there's a time and place for them, and in my opinion a restaurant dining area isn't one of them. It made the experience uncomfortable and took away from the meal. read more

Great tacos! First tried it at a festival and had to come in to visit the restaurant. Awesome service and delicious tacos. The taco Tuesday special is a great time to be had! Ask for green or red salsa or both. Chips to dips. The tacos were filling! Really enjoyed these tasty bites, juicy and flavorful. Inside seating with bar height or low tops. Merch available for purchase. Self serve drink station with the cool drinks! Fill up that ice and pour to your hearts content. Will definitely be back for more tacos! read more

As you walk in it gives you that taqueria smell , we tried their Tijuana style tacos, quesadilla and fish taco. We tried Alpastor & Asada. Meat flavor was 10/10, the size is worth what you pay for. I would have to say the guacamole does need a tiny bit of improvement to get that TJ taco style taste, overall 8/10 . read more

Taco Tuesday here is worth it! This spot is fire! Love their pastor. I am very picky about pastor. Yum. They have KETO tacos!!!! Yes!!!! I love those. Chicken is grilled chunks the way I love them. The people working here very kind and good. They are quick and they seem to like working here too. The place is small. They do have a taco bar you can sit at to watch all the workers make the food. They have tables and chairs to sit down at. Just overall really good. Love it. Coming back. read more

We love coming to the Taco Man in Upland. The carne asada is juicy and full of flavor, and the salsas are spot on. Burritos, tacos, nachos, we've tried them all and you can't go wrong on any one.

Came by on a Tuesday around 130pm, and while the place was busy there was no line. I got my order quickly (4 tacos) for total of under $10, which is a solid deal. The meat serving is generous and they included 2 hot sauce servings and 2-3 corners of lime. I got 2 chicken and 2 carnitas, with the pineapple habanero salsa (their "hot" choice) I was more impressed with the generous amount of meat than the flavor, which seemed pretty muted without adding hot sauce. The heat on the pineapple habanero is nice but next time I'll probably get medium so I can avoid the sweet of pineapple on my tacos. read more

It has been long awaited and it has now arrived... my 1400th Yelp review is live! Wahoo, it was a long journey indeed! I had the drafts to get here... I just had to complete them LOL. I dedicate this review to one of my wonderful Yelpie friends known as #37. You know who you are. Thank you so much for remembering my b-day and the yummy lunch treat at no other than The Taco Man. I appreciate your kindness and generosity. Let's begin... Taco Man is located at Upland Town Square on Foothill Blvd and San Antonio Ave. We were here for a late lunch at around 2:30 PM on a quiet Sunday. They weren't too busy. Good amount of seating space with adequate tables and chairs plus stools. They even have a small bar stool section with TV for the game watchers. Funny, I just realized its setup is like a drinking bar so let's call it a taco bar in a drinking atmosphere LOL. They have a soda fountain station... btw, the water button is within the tea container not at the soda machine. They do have an all gender restroom for customer use only. Kid you not, there were some hardworking ladies behind the front counter and back in the kitchen. They were super friendly and nice... very hospitable from taking our orders to delivering the foods to our table to accommodating our requests. Thank you so much ladies! You all rock!! My friend got us a total of four tacos... 2 chicken for me, 1 chicken & 1 beef for him. He also got 1 churizo burrito that was shared between the two of us. He added a drink for himself. I went with the old fashion refreshing water. With Yelp check-in, they offer complimentary salsa and chips. Thank you! Do check in and get your amazing tasting salsa and chips!!! Salsa was really really good... I can taste the freshness straight out of the supermarket and spice was so on point... I wanted to take home a quart, but they don't sell them in larger sizes (hint hint please offer larger sizes for sale... I will buy them!). The chips were different, but a good different... very firm and crunchy not oily at all kind of different... I can't explain it, you'll have to come try them for yourself. They are unique in texture and taste... very homemade type of chips. Anyway, I ended up buying two Baja style fish tacos... one with onions (for moi) and one without onions (for my friend). OMG... everything and I mean everything was so very delicious from tacos to burrito to salsa and chips. Full of chicken meat, onions, and cilantro on my tacos. Flavor was divinely on point. They do not skimp on ingredients whatsoever and it's only $2.95 for each street taco... what a great steal! They do offer other tacos at different prices depending on the taco style. Churizo burrito was of good size and it still had the oil from the skillet oozing out from it... it was a good tasty ooze indeed LOL. It did not taste oily at all... just super delish... great job Taco Man!! Baja style fish taco had a big fried fish fillet topped with lots of cabbage and pico de gallo plus a very tasty sauce... yum, yum! This calls for many more returns for more deliciousness in great quality foods, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I highly recommend The Taco Man. They are located in Upland and Glendora. Btw, they do cater for those planning for a big party. Thank you Taco Man for bringing us amazing spices and ingredients that represent the truest flavors from your humble roots... an authentic meal like no other!! Kudos to you!!! P.S. For the taco connoisseurs who love Taco Tuesdays, they have $2.00 tacos, $2.00 drinks, and $2.00 chips. Come get them now, but on Tuesdays only! But why not have special Taco Everyday! Maybe one fine day we will!! Make it happen Taco Man!!! One more thing, please add camarones to your menu. Thank you!!! read more

Fast casual restaurant where you order first then find a seat. I've been here twice already and the food is really flavorful and fresh. Fried fish taco: 10/10. It was crunchy, light batter, and had a good amount of fish meat. Paired with a crème sauce and pico and cabbage. Shrimp burrito 10/10 had beans, rice, pico, and good amount of shrimp in each bite. 20.00, a bit hefty for a burrito but it was yummy and huge! Nachos, it was eh. 3/10. Chips were stale and cheese not melted, I would skip out on this. Family had surf and turf burrito, they loved it. 10/10 20.00 bucks but worth it. Carne asada taco, 10/10 family enjoyed this one . Service was quick, didn't have to wait too long. Red salsa is mild to medium, pineapple habanero is spicy good! read more
