    That's a pretty big bag of fries.

    TSB is a food truck located in front of Top Shelf Tacos. I got the OG Burger (hold the pickles and onions) and the Seasoned Fries (hold the seasoning). Everything was delicious. Nice soft potato bun. The patty was seasoned well. The sauce had a little bit of tartness. The fries were hot and crispy. One order is big enough for 2 people. Service was very friendly and prompt. There were a couple of tables outside for dining. No issues with parking since TSB is located in a large shopping center.

    I was very excited to try this place because a coworker was raving about how good the burgers were. Stopped by today for their $5 wagyu Wednesday special and was very disappointed. I opened the wrapper and was immediately greeted with a precooked patty. I could not believe this because I waited and the burgers were still not made to order. The patty was soggy and dry, with zero crisp instead of a juicy crispy patty I was expecting. It is very comparable to a McDonald's hamburger unfortunately. I can't believe they precook their burgers to save on wait time even though I still had to wait for my fries to be cooked. At least the fries came out fresh...

    For over a decade, Top Shell Tacos has been a cool, go-to Mexican food spot alternative here in Carson. If you know, you know how dope this place is and I STILL miss their horchata cupcakes! LOL! I'll never ever stop protesting to get those back! Haha! Cut to the now (depending on when you're reading this!) ..it's 2025 and the owner opens up his Top Shelf Burgers food truck that is literally parked in front of Top Shelf Tacos!!! Thanks to a homie from Orange County, he told me out of nowhere to check this place out and I was like "DUDE! That's by Top Shelf Tacos right near me!"; so I made it a mission to go and check it out ASAP right after work today since it was meant to be because they open their truck to the public on Wednesdays until 8:00pm!!! Their parking is always free and ample, not a problem at all. Once I arrived, I ordered their Double Cheeseburger that is $12 (only $2 more from the regular cheeseburger!). The really really cool thing is that it's a WAGYU SMASHBURGER!!! What more do you want!?!? Hell yeah! I also ordered their seasoned fries for only $5 for a nice small bags worth of cayenne pepper and seasoning greatness! I wanted ranch, but they didn't have ranch, so the owner gave me his secret burger sauce on the side and it was the bommmmmb! Perfect alternative to buttermilk ranch and/or ketchup! The ambiance is always super chill inside and outside of this brick and mortar place. If you eat inside, they have TVs and stuff, including a TV on the actual food truck outside as well with chairs and tables if you want some air. All in all, I've legit had so many other smash burgers at other places, but Top Shelf Burgers is definitely one of my all-time favorites/top 5 spots now! Thank you again to my homie from Orange County (you know who you are!) for the reminder & to the owner and chef for the really cool, welcoming customer service! Top Shelf Burgers gets a high TOP 5 STARS rating from me! I will definitely try to come back for what I personally call "Wagyu Burger Wednesdays!" Haha!

    Very good burgers! Not greasy lots of options I liked how they have healthy options like protein style. You can tell they take their time with the burgers because of the patty's. I forgot to take pictures of the burger because it was too good!

    Cheeseburger

    Delicious! their fries are amazing, they add a seasoning that makes them taste amazing

    If you're craving the perfect burger, this truck is a MUST. The patties are cooked just right, crispy edges, juicy center. The flavor is next level. And don't sleep on the sides--the bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers were out of this world. Crispy, smoky, and just the right amount of heat. Service was fast and friendly, the quality beats most sit-down burger spots I've tried. You can tell they really care about what they're making. Do yourself a favor skip the chain drive-thru and hunt down this truck. It's easily one of the best burgers (and sides!) I've ever had.

    Loaded fries 10/10

    I ordered over the phone and the guy was so nice! Even when picking up the food he still gave an awesome customer service! We only tried the fries because we wanted to try it and it did not disappoint! So we'll definitely be coming back!

The girl behind the counter was Effin awesome. I loved her attitude and was soooo helpful. I feel bad for not getting her name. But she rocked!! Food Review: Tacos were man o man... they are a must. I got the chicken tacos with the BBQ sauce. The cream sauce n pico de Gallo was yummy and flavorful. The chicken was juicy and flavorful too. Mac N Cheese was soo good it was just missing a lil pepper lol but over all it was good Fries were hot and fresh and seasoned well loved the fries. Last but not least ....... My Chicken Wings....I got the spicy lemon pepper. The chicken was cooked very well...seasoned to perfection. I love how crunchy it was as I bit into it then the meat was nice and juicy. I loved them. They were pretty big and worth the price. I'm a bit sad I didn't take pictures of my wings. Ranch that they use good I will be going back to try the rest of the menu

I got the 6 pc chicken tenders tossed in "Cha Cha" sauce (honey sriracha) with a side of fries. My partner got the Belly something, but his box consisted of lemon pepper and honey BBQ wings with buffalo ranch fries . The food was SO GOOD! I can not wait to try the chicken tenders in several of the sauces. The establishment appears to be more of a place of "order your food and go". The cook knew our order off the top of his head. Lastly, the parking lot is pretty tight.

We asked if they had any plant-based or vegan options. They only sold burgers however the lady that helped us was very sweet, polite, and kind. She told what they had and what we could order inside instead. We walked in and the gentleman named Oscar G. cashed us out. He was also very friendly! Very professional and knowledgeable about the menu and non-dairy items. Provided us with what we needed right away, the container for the salsa and brought out fresh ones for me. Very nice guy. The food came out right away. The portions were big in my opinion. The prices were decent, the portion was great, and best of all the service was good. Their self-serve condiments was a PLUS! I've been to a lot of taco spots and these were by far the freshest and crispiest cucumbers, fresh cold salsa, onions and cilantro was also fresh. The food was good and filled us up. It was simple but fulfilling. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats as well.

I ordered the asada, carnitas, al pastor, tripas, cabeza, and lengua. The asada was tender with a nice grilled flavor, but my favorites were definitely the tripas and cabeza. Both were a little greasy, but in a good way--they had a lot of flavor and were probably the standouts of the meal for me. One thing I liked was the condiment bar. You can load up your tacos with as much onion and cilantro as you want, plus they have radishes and lime wedges available. They also offer two salsas, a red and a green. Both tasted good and had solid flavor, although I was hoping for a little more heat. Overall, it's a solid taco spot, especially on Taco Tuesday. Good variety of meats, reasonable prices, and plenty of toppings to customize your tacos. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area and craving some tacos.

    I was really disappointed with my experience. I placed my order at 4:36 PM, and it wasn't until…read more5:45 PM that I was finally able to take a picture of the food we received. After waiting over an hour, we still only received about half of our order. About 40 minutes into the wait, I was told they were out of chicken, which meant I never received the chicken and waffles I ordered. I also never received my baked beans. I understand that restaurants can run out of items, but I wish we had been told much sooner instead of waiting that long. What makes this even more disappointing is the amount of money we spent, and as you can see from our receipt, we tipped very well. We came in wanting to support the business and have a good experience. Unfortunately, between the long wait, missing food, and the quality of what we did receive, I honestly don't feel the experience was worth the money. We were also visiting from out of town and specifically chose this place, so it was disappointing to spend such a large part of our visit waiting for food we ultimately didn't receive. I really feel that some type of refund or compensation should have been offered, especially for the items we paid for but never received. I do want to be fair and mention that they gave us complimentary water and banana pudding, which we appreciated. However, it didn't make up for waiting over an hour and not receiving our complete order. Would I come back? Maybe, but only once things are more organized and structured. I really wanted to enjoy and support this place, but this experience was just too much. For the amount of time and money we spent including leaving a generous tip I expected much better.

My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.
