It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“Great variety of meats always cooked to perfection. I've been coming here since I was a kid and always stop by when I'm in town. Very generous amount of meats and the tacos are bigger than your average street taco. They even have weekend specials on the menu. And you get free chips and salsa 👍🏼🌮“

“I have had the shrimp tacos, sope, shrimp ceviche, and chips and salsa. It all was good. I like the salsa so much I ordered the 32 oz version. I didn't like it. It was different from the salsa that came with the chips and salsa. It's definitely a go-to if you like seafood.“

“I'm not going to Tijuana for just some tacos only if I go out to las pulgas!best club in Tijuana“

“I was looking for a good taco place and I came across Covyd Tacos on Yelp and decided to try them. Unaware that they were just serving on tables under a shade during the evenings, I gave them a try and ordered asada and cabeza burritos. I became a regular after that night and they practically knew me by name. Their burritos are very delicious and their servings are generous. They also had quesadillas, and a variety of tacos. They also have Al Pastor which is really tasty. They do not accept credit cards but they accept Venmo payments. I now miss their tacos and burritos since I was only in La Puente for 5 weeks but would be their customer again if I go back to La Puente, California again.“

“So my wife wanted some chicken nachos. I looked at my list of places which I have for almost any category of food and this one was under burritos. I call ahead to make sure they have chicken nachos. Young lady said yes we drove from Tustin over Garden Grove and well worth a drive. It was fire. I wish I would’ve had it under my Carne Asada fries category because they were fired. I would definitely be going back just for that and also was recommended to eat the Bandito fries by a tow truck driver.(in the parking lot of a liquor store in case you need your beverages.)“

“los de tripa bom!!!!!muy buenos“

“Ohh god!! DELICIOUS!!! place was recommended by my coworker... The service is really good the carne asada nacho is the BOMB n they not cheap with their portion and the carne asada is really gooooood... DEFINITELY COMING BACK AND RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FRIENDS“

“To top it off homemade corn tortillas, chorizo,Asada ,and Al Pastor, seasoned well good flavor all around no fat. Fire !🔥“

“What an amazing little hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we could tell this place is truly family-owned and cared for. The owner was so welcoming, and the quality and portions of the food were absolutely delicious!
Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The sauces were AMAZING, and the atmosphere had that cozy, authentic feel that makes you want to come back.
I would definitely recommend this little shack to others, and I will absolutely be coming back again!“

“One of the best Al Pastor tacos I've ever had. The barbacoa not so much. They do have a fixings bar which is nice but they were out of a couple of things when we were there. The lady working the register was super welcoming.

It's a taqueria so the atmosphere is pretty on brand.“

“Los uchepos😋 El servicio excelente“

“The taquitos were some of the best I have had perfect crunch and not cheap with the meat. The carne asada tacos were great but the mahi mahi was underwhelming. The tortillas were a little too soft breaking and blowing out with the bites. Salsa was great no complaints there. Overall very good.“

“I’ve been coming here for quite a while now, and this place never disappoints. Taco Tuesdays are definitely a highlight—$2 tacos that are both delicious and an amazing value. The salsa bar is fantastic, offering a great variety of options to perfectly complement your meal, and every order comes with chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch.
There is never a wait and the restaurant is consistently clean, and the service is top-notch. A special shoutout to Esther and Isabel, who always go above and beyond to make the experience even better. The menu has a wide variety of choices, so there’s something for everyone, and the drink selection is just as impressive.
I highly recommend giving this place a try—you won’t be let down!“

“Both the savory food and panderia were delicious. We ordered 2 goat birria, 1 beef birria and 1 suadero taco. The flavors were excellent, the meat quality was great, the tortillas and salsa were hand made. And the tacos were large size, not small Tijuana tacos. I also ordered a pambazos which was crispy, flavorful and succulent. We tried 10 kinds of pan dulce and everything was fresh and affordable. We will definitely be back“

“Muy buena la. Comida y el servicio 👍“

“Great cheese fries.“

“Amazing Sope Tacos Desvelados is basically a thick tortilla with lots of tasty things on top of it. The base is made from masa dough, which is cooked until the outside gets crispy and the inside stays soft and chewy. Each bite tastes great because of the different textures that are mixed together.“

“The texture the taste and quality was good I had the Birria tacos I will not choose the toasted Tortillas anymore because they where a bit too burned. The price was fair fair enough to align with the quality. I give this place a good recommendation. 👍“

“Excelente Servicio al Cliente y Deliciosa comida todo muy rico Se los recomiendo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.“

“Food is delicious, and the workers are super nice and personable. They also bring water out to my dog on the patio. One of my favorite dog friendly locations. Come one come all. As a man who cooks for a living, i truly appreciate the effort and time they put into it all.“

“The Bottom Line Up Front:
Ponchos Tacos serves up a variety of dishes that are affordable and, most importantly, tasty.

The Food:
You can get a wide range of meals, from the usual tacos and burritos to less common mulitas and vampiros. I've tried a lot of their different options, and they are all solid, but will focus this review on my latest order: al pastor and carnitas tacos.

Both had a fair amount of meat and were properly seasoned, with tortillas that were firm enough to keep things together but soft enough to enjoy. Were they the best tacos I've ever had? No, but I enjoyed them.

The Atmosphere:
It's a smallish medium-sized establishment with a mix of comfortable booth seating and tables. Everything is relatively clean and organized, though a bit spartan -- don't expect anything fancy.

The Location:
Ponchos has a State College Boulevard address, but you'll actually need to turn onto Walnut to access the parking lot. It's located in a small strip mall that's hard to spot from the road because State College Boulevard deeps downward under a railroad bridge. However, there's usually free parking in the lot (as long as the nearby power lifting gym doesn't hold a competition, which always results in an overload of cars).

The Pros:
* Lots of different dishes with more proteins than the standard fare (i.e. lengua, shrimp.)
* Customer service is usually very fast, friendly, and knowledgable.
* Costs are affordable (unlike other shops that have jacked up their prices)
* They offer free chips and salsa if you dine in

The Cons:
* During this past visit, the salsa bar had lemons instead of limes.
* The bathroom meets the bare minimum but could definitely use a remodel (or at least a deep cleaning)

The Conclusion:
Ponchos Tacos is not perfect, but it's one of my go-to places when I want good street tacos, mulitas, or vampiros at an affordable price.“
