When you go to this place be sure to repaet your order, double check and then look at it before you leave. Ive been to this place twice in my life. Food is good. But whoever be at the cash register cant hear well, cant speak english well or is just all around special because they are 2 for 2 with getting my order absolutely WRONG! IF I COULD GET WHAT I ORDERED IT WOULD BE A 4.

I really wanted to like this place but it was just okay. Nothing special. My son got an asada torta and he really liked it. I ordered an asada burrito and it was bland. No flavor at all. I thought the salsa might help but it didn't. I saw the cook making a shrimp dish and he used the same utensils for my asada so I can taste the shrimp in my burrito. Fortunately I don't have a seafood allergy. Might try it again to see if I just got a dud.

It's rather amusing that I worked about 10 minutes away from Top Shelf for 19 years and it wasn't until I retired a few years back that I finally made it here. I was across the street at Scottsdale quite often to visit the parents of "challenging" students but never realized a gastronomic paradise was waiting across the street. Man oh man, I had been missing out. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito wet and let me tell you, it was delicious. Not a huge burrito but a generous amount of food. The sauce was flavorful and I appreciated the fact it had just the right amount of salt unlike the majority of the other places I've frequented lately. It was the best burrito I've had in ages. My wife's protein bowl with shrimp met with her satisfaction and happily had a decent quantity of shrimp unlike many other Mexican restaurants we've gone to recently. I ordered the strawberries and cream dessert but was too full to eat it so it will have to wait until later. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. No complaints about service whatsoever. The shopping center has more than enough parking so that isn't an issue. I'm not sure I would visit at night unless you feel safe going into an area with its fair share of troublemakers in the area after dark though. Top Shelf turned out to be just as advertised. I only wish I had tried them much further back in time. I would have made better use of the time I had when I was working in the area.

Good food, good price, good service. My buddy and I grab food here and have a drink or two while we do our laundry a couple of doors down. Cool little spot!

First time at this spot. Great Pastor tacos. I'm a bean and cheese burrito lover and I'm picky . These bean and cheese burritos are delicious I found my new spot for B&C burrito. Very good food. Love the green fire salsa. It's perfectly hot. ??

Check the order twice before charging extra! We asked for extra beans on the torta and burrito but both did not have extra beans disappointing. Tuesdays there's a lot of people if you are in a rush skip

Top Shelf Tacos is located in a super random plaza in the middle of Carson suburbia, but the food is anything but random. It was delicious. I ordered the South Bay Burrito which is an adaptation of the California burrito with French fries. And it was juicy and super flavorful. I would highly recommend it to others. The staff there is super nice and it was a good experience. They have a salsa bar with onions, cilantro, and radishes. One of the best parts is that it's counter ordering and they don't put you through the awkward tipping process of other counter order restaurants. The lady took my credit card and zero's the tip portion and charged me for the meal. That right there is a winning statement for me, in an age where customers often feel obligated to tip. Big kudos to management here.
Topshelf never lets us down! We have been eating TOPSHELF since their taco stand days and their food is always on point. Husband got a carnitas wet burrito(forgot to take a pic) and I got my old faithful carne asada torta. Come on by!

Unassuming place that is a must stop. Shrimp tacos were great, very friendly service, and lots of options for agua frescas. Plenty of parking outside and places to sit inside.

Came to Top Shelf Tacos to specifically get Birria Tacos. I ordered a little more though, I got a Carne Asada Tacos, Birria Sope (Extra thick handmade corn tortilla with whole beans, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, queso fresco, crema) and Birria Tacos. These tacos were pretty good but can’t say it was nice on the way out! I think I liked the Sope the most though.
