Food was decent. Service on the other hand not so great unless you are white! Ignored us until some white peoples showed up

Food is always bomb and fresh! Love the chile verde nachos, hard shell tacos and taquitos! Friendly service and if you dine in it's always clean! read more

Delicious food, delivers on time. Always more than you can eat. Has many choices to go with, just depends on how much your budget is.

Even though their outside lights were dim, they were busy with steady customers. Looks like a local favorite. There's big screen tvs all over, playing sports. It was hard to decide what to get. I changed my mind a few times after seeing what others were ordering lol The soft taco plate comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. They load up on toppings. Almost too much. It was hard to hold and eat. I would recommend having them put some of the toppings on top of the rice and beans so that see and taste more of what's in the taco. Al Pastor, Shredded Beef and Chicken soft tacos were good. The bowl with Spanish rice and carne asada was good. Again, loaded with toppings. You can barely see the meat. I really liked the green sauce. Very tasty with a little kick. Make sure to add on top. read more

Excellent burritos and nachos. Ordered some trays two months ago of Carne Asada, chicken, refried beans and Mexican rice for a party. Everyone enjoyed the food. read more

The establishment isn't in a fancy plaza where buildings are upgraded, but the interior was very comfortably remodeled. There are booths and tables, along with a bar area. We ordered a loaded nachos with al pastor and carnitas, and it was ready before the estimated completion time! The nachos were truly loaded and they gave a generous portion! The Al pastor was very tender and delicious. We added guacamole and were surprised that they do not charge extra for guacamole, and it was not a skimpy portion either! The staff were welcoming, though would suggest for someone to back up the cashier if she's assisting a customer with a custom order or answering lengthier questions. Especially if the next customer is there to simply pick up an order. This will help keep your line moving too. read more

Tom's Tailgate - Loaded Nachos with Al pastor, carnitas and guacamole. - Mexican Near Me - La Mirada, California

What the hell happened to this place!. I moved away for a while, got back and decided to go eat here again and I was expecting the same taste of food as well as the portion size.... But it was totally different not the same taste or portion size. They want to charge you extra for certain items that i personally think is a bit much...$2 for a pinch of grilled onions on my tacos and let's not forget to mention the customer service was not the best kinda rude. Sad to say I was disappointed with the overall quality, experience and quantity of the food that used to be Tom's tailgate. To be honest won't be recommending this place no more to out of state friends and family. read more

Best food I have ever had. They have the most freshest food and they make it to perfection.

I came for an uber pickup the older lady w grey hairs saids to me it's not ready it will be a while you can cancel the order if you like and another uber will come pick it up .. ,all I said was yes when she asked are you here for the uber pickup... literally i said nothing more than just a yes...I don't appreciate the unprofessional service, she could of just stated it will be a few minutes just like any other spot she had no right to tell me this :/ read more

Staff was very friendly I got the breakfast burrito and was very surprised by how delicious their green salsa is. Nice atmosphere as well. Will be coming again. read more

First time trying this place and I am coming back. I ordered a cali burrito with 3 types of meat. Chicken, Asada, El Pastor. This burrito had so much flavor. I look forward to trying more! read more

My sister & I have never heard of this place before. We are usually skeptic on trying new places that serve Mexican Food but we tried the Super Fries yesterday & holy shit it was bomb! So bomb that we ordered twice! The meat is well cooked & well seasoned! Not many places excel in doing that! Hats off to the cooks! Definitely not our last time ordering from here! read more

My favorite place for lunch. Delicious, generous and consistent. Highly recommended.

Rude Asf. service was horrible and slow workers looking at customers up and down. Food was mid

Was great, but prices gone up and now you can't add toppings on tacos without paying more... lettuce, cheese and tomatoes cost extra. If you order the beef tacos, you ONLY get beef. read more

First time order through uber eats. Really good food . Brc burrito was good. Nachos were tasty as well. Definately gonna order again ..

Man, what can I say? The nachos are fire the burrito I had was delicious the tri-tip on the nachos. Very good just all the food in general delicious will come back again. My Daughter got the chips , cheese , beans and the rice. She loved it and she's a picky one . They have the basics down and that makes or break a business. Tom's keeps going strong !! read more

Tom's Tailgate is like Chipotle on steroids, but with MORE choices. Wife loves their crispy chicken tacos combo w/beans (3 choices) & Mexican rice. Taquitos are great! Mexican Nacho fries are worth the trip. All fresh ingredients, made to order right in front of you! Eat here once and you're hooked for life! read more

Wrong pick up order! I got nachos and got fries instead, I had ordered nachos and I received fries completely different then what I had ordered on them read more

Tom's Tailgate - Full Size Super Fries - Mexican Near Me - La Mirada, California

The food is delicious and the employees are detailed but sometimes the environment is too noisy.

I've been coming to Toms for years and love the food and actually still enjoy the food but today I received the worst service ever by the gentleman making our food. I ordered 1 large order of super fries, 2 puffy tacos and 1 soft taco. Simple right.. well the gentleman forgot to put our fries on and had to heat up our soft taco tortilla a couple times due to it sitting. Then he starts prepping our food without asking for here or to go, so I kindly say the food is for here and he annoyingly moves our food over. But the icing on the cake was when my son asked for 1/2 his fries with Nacho cheese and he plops a spoon of cheese in the middle. Then when told to move it over to 1/2 he says he asked for Nacho cheese. Yes, but not in the middle and he shrugs his shoulder and walks away. Rude rude rude!! Customer service is a reflection of leadership and makes me wonder about Tom's Tailgate leadership! read more

Great food, horrible customer service! It's very obvious half the staff doesn't even want to be there. The attitudes gotta go!

Yeep Khrishna C. often visits Tom's Tailgate, so that was a good enough recommendation for me! TT is a good neighborhood taco shop in La Mirada. Located in a big strip mall at the intersection of Imperial Highway and Santa Gertrudes Ave, it was easy to get to. Once you get inside, you are channeled into the ordering station. There a Chipotle-like series stations allow you to order and get it customized. It wasn't busy at about 5 pm on a Friday, so I got my food quick. Saw a note off to the side that a bar will be opening soon. It will definitely make it a hangout to watch sports games. I got a crunchy taco & a half order of loaded nachos. Both the taco shell and nacho chips were home made. Very good and it hits the spot! Glad I got the half order of nachos as a full order would have meant a lot of leftovers! And eating soggy nacho chips the next day isn't fun! Total with tax was about $16, average. There are some other items on the menu I would like to try. Repeat and recommend! read more

This place never disappoints!! You have to try the Nachos!! The homemade chip are amazing. I had nachos and my husband had the super fries which were also delicious!! read more

First time I came here was Friday and the second time I came was today. However, the service today was very slow. Came into the restaurant today around 8:45am-9am and there were only 2 tables seated. Ordered our food, paid and then sat down. As time goes by, noticed that the multiple people that were behind us and ordered after us had already received their food. As 15 minutes had gone by, still no sign of our food being made. 20 minutes go by and they finally decided to work on our food. We can see them finally cooking it as it's an open kitchen. We had somewhere to be and eventually had to just cancel our whole order completely. There was really nothing that was happening for our order to barely being started after we had been waiting for 20 minutes. read more

The food and atmosphere is freaking amazing. We came here 2 days in a row. You won't be disappointed!!!

I come here all the time & I love the food its great but the staff is so rude & unwelcoming especially the younger girls that serve & ring up the food. I thought it was just me they do it too but apparently they do it to everyone seeing that the reviews are bad due to the service. Even fast food places has better service then this. They dont look happy at all to be working here & clearly are ruining the reputation of a good food place. The stars are due to lack of good customer service but the food is great. read more

Delicious, amazing food and awesome interior! The staff was very helpful and walked me through all the choices as the first time customer there. I would definitely go back! read more

Tom's Tailgate is the perfect comfort meal. When my favorite thing to get here is the loaded nachos. They only cost about $12 for a full and $11 for a half. For a dollar more it's definitely worth getting the full. I usually end up with leftovers to reheat later. You get to assemble your nachos like you would at chipotle. They have a variety of meats, cheeses, and salsas to choose from. I personally prefer the carne asada with the cheddar cheese. The workers aren't stingy with the portions either. You can barely close the lid. The workers here are very kind and helpful. The two girls behind the counter were really patient with me as I took my time deciding which toppings I wanted. The restaurant itself is very spacious and clean. They have a bit of a rush in the evenings and when there are major school events. However, I promise that this place is worth the wait. read more

Well, decided to give this place a try again, and walked out after waiting 10 minutes with only one person ordering in front of me. This place's service is dogsh*t in the worst way. Watching them make burritos was horrible... just throwing on the food. You are better off going across the street to Mikes. At least there, they know something about customer service. read more

If you want to be treated subhuman and like talked to like a piece of trash go here in the mornings there's three ladies, the two younger ones will make sure you feel like you shouldn't be eating at their restaurant other than that food is ok just makes you feel like this place has really gotten downhill read more

Like Chipotle, but better/with more authentic Mexican food. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options and they serve their chips with each menu item. Portions are large and definitely should be shared! Free guac is a big plus! Not the most amazing Mexican food I have ever eaten, but fairly solid and a pretty good price point. My only caution is that my stomach is still hurting from the carnitas/al pastor bowl I had five hours ago (hence the 4/5). read more

I just went to this place for the first time. I waited 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged I was there ( there were 5 people working). I asked for a soft taco plate, the man stated we don't open until 10, we only serve breakfast. Very rude. read more

Ordered from here before never had a bad experience till now so that's why 3 stars instead of 0 but what they did was negligent and very dangerous Take a look at this salsa container it smelled like alcohol ( fermented i supposed) I'm pretty sure they used rotten tomatoes or old onions or something because the salsa instantly over inflated in the container! I also ordered super fries & not only did something in it smell spoiled it was super tangy like the tomatoes or onions were bad in the pico de gallo ! Very dangerous been going here for maybe six years and will never come back because of this if I could tell immediately thought there was something wrong so should the restaurant! read more

Tom's Tailgate - Clear indication of bacteria - Mexican Near Me - La Mirada, California

Good food but they close way too early especially during summer. What restaurant closes before sun goes down? I guess they are correct they are nothing like Chipotle because Chipotle stays open to serve the blue collared workers that get off work later. read more

Tried placing a phone order. Gina said no phone orders because she's gonna start getting busy ok Gina. That's the point. Bad service, Bad bad service. Called today at 7:05pm. The 2 times I've been there, it's been bad customer service at this place. Today would have been the third time. Just go to chipotle. read more

Tom's Tailgate - Hard shell, shredded beef, tacos with cheese and lettuce and pico de gallo yummy, I think I had three of them I was full they were great. - Mexican Near Me - La Mirada, California

Great food and great service, I've been wanting to try it out for years and I finally pulled the trigger, mellow sports ambiance, allowed me to enjoy my meal which I couldn't finish because the portions are generous for the price and they have orange bang! Seriously have to make the 15 mile trek again. Thanks Tomt. The shredded beef is the business by the way. read more

Nachos are amazing, I always get the carne asada burrito. Good service, fair prices, fun vibe inside.
