Food Stands near Altadena, CA

“Classic Street Taco stand. Al pastor on a spit, asada, cabeza, lengua and tripas. You can also get your choice of meat over a baked potato. Good is generally tasty, although I thought the pastor was a little oversalted on my visit last night.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Flew in from Canada to try corn man.
Thought it was sketchy buying corn from a man in the middle of the night. Turned out to be a life changing experience. 5/7 Corn was as sweet as the dream I had that night. Would buy corn from sketchy man again.“

“Fpund this place on my way home from a concert, I was looking for a late night bite and this place did not disappoint. The prices are amazing. The quality is top notch some of the most delicious pizza I’ve had in LA. This will be my new late night pizza, it was really really good! The ricotta cheese was mouthwatering!“

“Delicious, quick, quality. I had chorizo and squash blossom with some red sauce, it was sooo good, the flavors are all perfect together. It’s not rushed, the tortilla is nicely crispy and the cheese is thoroughly melted. Love that this is around the corner from my place.“

“I recently visited the 626 Night Market with my cousins, and even though I’d heard so much about it, I approached it with mixed feelings. As a foodie, I was excited to explore, but I’m not a fan of waiting in long lines, especially when I can just visit a restaurant instead—though we were there to celebrate a special occasion.

Tip: Definitely arrive early and purchase your tickets in advance! We made the mistake of rushing to the first stalls and missed out on the full experience because we didn’t realize there was an entire other side to explore. Lesson learned! Wear comfortable shoes! Sunscreen! Hand Sanitizer!

Now, onto the food: the grilled squid was delicious, and the fried potatoes were an absolute must-try—especially when they’re hot and fresh. The tanghulu was fantastic, though a bit pricey; I’d suggest trying to make it at home if you can. The balut was good, and the grilled lamb was a standout—it was absolutely fire! However, the Thai rice patty sandwich was disappointing, so I’d recommend skipping that.

There’s so much to see and experience at the market, from tasty food to fun games. We even had a great time playing games, and all the cousins walked away with stuffed animals! Overall, we had a blast, and I recommend checking it out if you enjoy vibrant atmospheres and unique eats. Just remember to plan ahead for the best experience!“

“I’ve struggled to find a a delicious taco stand or taco truck ever since I moved out of LA until I found this spot. This spot is the closest I good get to some great tacos or burritos. Their pastor was great and I will for sure go back to try their other meats. Don’t hesitate to try this spot.“

“I've been coming here since I was a little kid. The food quality is top notch. This is the place to get the best Mexican food in Glendale. The carne asada burrito is a staple. With some lime and green salsa, the burrito is scrumptious. The workers are very friendly and I believe they are a family. It is a humble little restaurant with great food. Parking can be tricky and seating is limited, but the food is worth it. Always fresh and tasty. That hasn't changed in 20 years.“

“Great tacos , Tortas and Quesadilla ... inexspesive priced good food for Pasadena... and the location.. perfect for a quick nite snack or coming home from work or a nite out... 👍🐷🐮🐔🌮🌯🥙😍😍😍😍💋🌛“

“I stumbled across “nugtown” for late food in the area and was pleasantly surprised! Not only was the food made fresh to order - I literally watched him batter and fry them - the owner was the sweetest human who genuinely cared about his services. He even threw in every sauce (which are bomb btw) so we could try and report back. I brought them home to my boyfriend and he couldn’t stop telling people that we found a new go-to spot! Wishing Nugtown the utmost success!! ?

Also PS $20 for 20 QUALITY nuggets!“

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

“These tacos were recommended and Should I say I am thankful I took the recommendation. The Al pastor tacos were delicious. Suadero tacos are good as well. The cabeza tacos are not bad at all. I need to try the rest. I will be back. Prices are very decent especially for the food you pay for. I strongly suggest these tacos.“

“Parking is horrible. You have to quickly turn in the parking lot off Garfield, but you have to go slow, or you will miss it the entrance. Order window is right on Garfield Blvd. On really busy days, they run out of food fast. Everything I have ordered has been delish. Just don't l like that they close by 5:30pm and you have to have cash. Food, price, and amount are 👍👍😁

Wheelchair accessibility: yes“

“They are the best tacos I've ever had at a good price, and the tortillas are handmade $1.50. The meat is very tasty and don't tell me the al pastor ones are good. I've bought these tacos since day one, they hardly had people, but now what happened here they are full of people that means they are progressing congratulations for the boys,,,,,,, The tacos are very good“

“Amazing little taqueria with great food and service. The soy chorizo option was really good for vegetarians; the veggie options comes with mushrooms. Their mango passion agua fresca was delicious. (They also have dog friendly tacos!)

Vegetarian options: Soy chorizo and veggie (mushroom) options. Potato taquitoes were also good. Have side dishes like corn, beans and rice“

“I got here by chance on a Saturday night, the parking lot was full and the line was long, so I assumed it was good. I am not lying when I tell you that these are probably the BEST TACOS I’ve ever had in my life. If you want to have the real street food experience in LA, this is absolutely it. Its opened every day from 1PM to 2AM. • Llegué aquí por casualidad un sábado por la noche, el parqueadero estaba lleno y la fila era larga, así que asumí que era bueno. No estoy mintiendo cuando te digo que estos son probablemente los MEJORES TACOS que he probado en mi vida. Si quieres tener la verdadera experiencia de comida callejera en Los Ángeles, esto es. Está abierto todos los días de 1PM a 2AM.“

“This spot sells mesquite grilled chicken as a street stall. Prices are reasonable and their seasoning is SO good. Very good street food.

their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite.

Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside.

Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure!

Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

“I had read an article in Conde Nast Traveler about the place so we decided to stop in for a bite. Didn't realize it was "those type of quesadillas", how embarrassing LOL. No worries! Got to meet Gabriella the owner, so nice and invited us to tour the kitchen, even though it was late in the day on New Years Eve. Such a great story with her and family recipes handed down from her grandparents. Worth a stop in! And I imagine calling her in advance she will give you a tour as well...“

“Everything is well cleaned and the attention of the employees is excellent, they treat you with respect and all the ? ? ? mulitas the cakes are delicious and the water ? de horchata, not to mention it is delicious and it is very accessible for all those who wish to come recommended ? ? ? ? ?“

“A hidden gem in Boyle Heights. Don’t let the humble appearance of the place fool you, because I actually l found the front yard house set-up quite charming. You’re not going to get your mind blown by the sights or senses, but if you need to satisfy that basic craving for a good pizza with no frills, this is your place. You can get the “home-made” experience for take out so If you’re in the area I recommend stopping by for this one of a kind experience. Street parking only, but I never had any problems finding parking.

Parking: Street parking only. Parking is easier to find in the adjacent residential side of the neighborhood (when you get off the main street)“

“Short Stop Pizza - Thanks a lot !This is the number one dining place I can think of for the best places to eat any meal of the day.They have an excellent variety of food as well as accommodating servers who always put their customer's needs first.“

“Tacos are nice and full! They taste amazing! Has a variety of choices for you to enjoy and the family is super nice! No hay nada como estos tacos con una coca de vidrio!“

“Everything’s so freaking good! Been coming here for years!“

“Corner stand, they sell Burritos-10$, Quesadilla-10$, Mulitas-5$, Tacos-2$.

They are the smaller tortillas but at 2$ definitely worth it. Had Al Pastor, Asada, Pollo, Buche, Tripa and Chorizo. They sell sodas and Horchata. Avocado salsa had a small kick, red sauce was very good, had a hint of sweetness. Did not try the green salsa.

They there daily with exemption of Wednesdays, usually in the afternoon into evenings.“

“location and excellent customer service“

“This is a small weekend cafeteria that supplements a visit to the Norton Simon Museum and it is perfect for the task of refreshing visitors taking a short break from the process of art viewing. We had a roll and coffee each with various less healthy add-ons and then sat admiring the lake, the surrounding sculpture garden and watching people, a perfect mid Sunday relaxation. Service was good and friendly, food was adequate quality and the price was fair.“
