Note: Unfortunately, my first visit, I did not ask their hours, I will try to do so next visit.
Driving by one night and see a brand new taco truck joint near my home! Smelled good on the way up, had to go back for something!
Located on the corner of E. Washington and N Altadena, right in front of 7-Eleven. Parking is that same plaza. These guys are here 3 times a week, not sure exactly which days, there was a language barrier.
On approach, 4 guys were very friendly, though they spoke only a little English, it was enough to make it through! They sell tacos, quesadillas, mulitas, burritos, and tacoquesos. They don't have a menu... so we didn't ask each specific price but overall seemed very fair if not great! For meats, they offered al pastor, carne asada, and tripe, though, I might've missed it if they offered more. They also offer grilled onions on request. Watching the chef grill the meat was mouth-watering! Each meat looked so tender and smelled delicious!
We ordered 6 al pastor tacos, 6 carne asada tacos, 1 al pastor quesadilla, 2 al pastor burritos and 1 pineapple juice. The tacos tortillas are freshly made, they literally shape and cut it fresh to be grilled! The burritos near completion, will be offered to you to add toppings such as salsa, onions and cilantro, etc. The pina wasn't mine, but i heard it was very good as well! Salsa and condiment bar is self-serve. They offered green salsa, avocado salsa, radish, cucumbers, onions, and cilantro. Total was $56 flat, so I guess you can do the math on that.
Each item was very tasty! Specifically the al pastor was amazing, flavorful, juicy, and tender! The carne asada was also very good, albeit a little salty, so pair it with the cucumber or radish! Condiments were very fresh and since it was self-serve, we were not skimped. The quesadilla was great as well, very cheesy and meaty.
Overall, the experience was top-notch, customer service was great, food was great, location/parking was easy and convenient, and pricing was great also. Note to self and others, bring gloves to eat or utensils, because the al pastor is messy! I am so grateful a GOOD taco truck opened up nearby and will definitely return! read more
