Food Stands near Compton, CA

“So I live in Compton, only a few blocks from the birra spot. I'll be honest, I did not like birria de chivo but I came here for Father's Day because my dad who lives in L.A. wanted to try it. Long story short I had no clue what to order. Gentleman at the window was soo helpful and patient in helping me, the señoras are cooking in the truck so we knew it was going to be good. Anyway my dad loved it, and I tried it and I really enjoyed it. Just be careful with parking the lot they are by was full and and I parked on a side street and I totally missed the sign and got a big fat ticket. ??“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“Los tacos están deliciosos. 100% recomendados. Los tacos tienen mucha carne.“

“I’m such a fan of Clemen’s Kitchen. My friends and I have nothing but good things to say:
-the food is excellent (we all had different things, all delicious. + love the salsa/hot sauce/sauce options!)
-The owners are so nice; you’re not just coming here for a great meal, you’re welcomed into a space to enjoy that with a genuine warmth.
Thank you Clemen’s Kitchen!“

“We ordered the pesto, sausage and mushroom risotto, arancini and the cannolis. Everything was absolutely delicious and made with care. The main dishes were made fresh while we waited. The canollis were filled when we ordered them which kept the shells crispy. The details matter which makes their food amazing. And the owner and son are so nice. Great place. We will be back.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“Tamales Naborina is truly a hidden gem a street vendor that has been a staple in Watts for years. It’s the kind of place that’s known by locals, and while it’s somewhat of a well-kept secret, I believe everyone deserves to experience their incredible tamales!

**Location:** You can usually find the bright yellow food truck at the corner of 105th and Wilmington Avenue.

**Service:** The service is impressively quick, especially given the number of customers they serve in the morning. You'll be in and out before you know it!

**Parking:** Keep in mind that parking is limited to street parking, so be prepared to search for a spot and take a short walk to the truck.

**Food:** The tamales here are as authentic as it gets! They use traditional masa with lard and offer a variety of fillings, including red chicken, green chicken, red pork, and cheese tamales. I always opt for their cheese tamales, as they truly do not skimp on the cheese-to-masa ratio, make sure you ask for extra napkins to absorb the grease from the tamales. Don’t forget to grab their green salsa topped with onion and cilantro—it’s a must-have accompaniment and their champurrado is delicious!

On weekends, they also offer banana leaf-wrapped tamales and corn tamales, also known as Uchepos—if you know, you know!

**Overall:** If you’re looking for authentic and delicious tamales, Naborina Tamales is a must-visit. Their offerings are not only tasty but also filling, making it worth the trip!“

“The food was very good but the service efficiency was very low. I hadn't gone to eat for a while and now that they moved to Calle Paloma, the waitress service was not efficient at all. I spent about 30 minutes waiting for them to take my order and they never did and I better end up leaving.“

“Great, clean, new, modern & upscale design with new restaurants and diversified food selections 👍🏼🎉! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We are from Guadalajara Mexico, they are not good…. They are delicious, the tacos las aguas, the quesadillas, this place is one hundred percent recommended to anyone who knows about Mexican tacos, their tacos are better than many places in Mexico, well served and everything they prepare is very delicious. The large roast quesadilla with tripe is a championship, only for connoisseurs... thank you very much for your service, first time I have eaten tacos outside of Mexico, they are delicious...“

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“Es la primera vez que las pruebo y los tacos dorados. Muy rico todo, carnitas, cueritos, los tacos con sus respectivas salsas y tortillas home made. Se los recomiendo!!“

“Tire Shop Taqueria is a great place to enjoy flavorful food in a fun and relaxed setting. The restaurant has a cool, casual feel, and it really does feel like a neighborhood spot where people come to enjoy good food without any stress. From the moment you walk up, the smell of grilled meat lets you know you are in for something special.

One of the best items on the menu is the carne asada tacos. The meat is very tender and juicy, and it has a rich, smoky flavor that tastes amazing in every bite. The carne asada is cooked just right and pairs perfectly with the warm tortillas and fresh toppings. These tacos are simple but incredibly delicious.

The grilled al pastor tacos are also a must-try. They are well-seasoned and full of bold flavor without being too heavy. You can really taste the spices, and the grilled edges add a nice texture that makes them even better. Each taco feels carefully made and very satisfying.

The cheesy gringas cooked on the griddle are another highlight. They are crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and packed with flavor. The cheese stretches with every bite, making them comforting and hard to resist. They are perfect if you want something rich and filling.

The campechanas are very tasty and bring together different meats in one delicious dish. The flavors blend well, creating a hearty and satisfying option. Overall, Tire Shop Taqueria offers amazing food, friendly service, and a relaxed vibe that makes every visit enjoyable and memorable.“

“Amazing Food! Great Flavor! Great Place To Eat, Highly Recommended! 🌮🌮🌮🍜“

“As close as it gets to Mexico City street tacos without eating eating Mexico City street tacos. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Our tacos were so flavorful that I forgot to squeeze lime in mine and my husband forgot to put salsa in his. We ended up getting more to go. If we didn’t live all the way on the other side of the US, we would be back for sure. We had the al pastor tacos, queso birria tacos, and consomé.“

“exelente servicio la comida muy sabrosa😋 aquí encuentra amabilidad y cortecia 😍 🤩“

“I hired Sierra Guisados (Lucy and fam) to cater my mom’s retirement party this summer and I couldn’t be happier with their service, food, and set-up. They were on time and professional and everything from the beans, rice, salsas, aguas, and tacos was so authentic and delicious. Everyone loved it!

If you are visiting their pop-up arrive early for the vegetarian options 🤤“

“The taco 5y10 is what you come here for. It’s delicious! The freshly handmade yellow corn tortilla is delicious and soft. I got the taco de cabeza which is would highly recommend. The fattiness of the cabeza complements the black bean filling of the taco, both in flavor and texture. My fiancé ordered the taco de al pastor which was also good but we both agreed the cabeza was better. One taco 5y10 is bigger than any burrito, so one is more than enough. They cut the taco in half so that it fits in the styrofoam box, so if you’re interested in trying different meats, brining a friend, each other a different meat and swap halves. Also, the agua de horchata is delicious! Definitely homemade, not from a packet.“

“Columbia Heights location is wonderful! Best pupusas ever. The slaw mix and red sauce goes perfectly with them. Always hot and well made💕“

“amazing fresh fruit. large portions for cheap but amazing quality.“

“First time in southern California ( landed in LAX) was driving down to San Diego for a job and really wanted to try some tacos. And found this golden gem on the way. Nice people, amazing tacos ( that remind you of Mexico) highly recommend to try it!“

“This place is incredible. I’ve come here three times so far, I use the Too Good To Go app. He always puts PLENTY of every topping, always friendly and there’s never been a miss. Will be continuing to come regularly, if you’re in the area it’s worth a visit. In a very cute outdoor market area too“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“(Translated by Google) Rich carnitas tacos, very well served, well filled, the extra a golden tortilla to accompany it.(Original)Ricos tacos de carnitas, muy bien servidos bien llenitos, el extra una tortilla doradita de acompañamiento.

“i go to college and this food truck was posted just outside my dorm. decided to try it since i’m a big fan of Mexican food and it did not disappoint. Service was super fast even though there was a huge line. the food was absolutely incredible and easily goes in my top 5 best Mexican dishes. i got the perro with no beans and it was amazing. it included a huge homeade flour tortilla, super tender and juicy steak, a whole grilled jalapeño, spicy salsa, guacamole and cilantro and onions. definitely plan on eating here again and would highly recommend if you have the opportunity.“

“(Translated by Google) These tacos are amazing, very good and well served, they make a load of meat and the dog seasoning. Those with cecina with cheese are the most buts and roast and rib.(Original)Estos tacos están pasados de lanza, muy buenos y bien servidos, le hechan un chingo de carne y el sazon perro. Los de cecina con queso son los más peros y asada y costilla.“

“Wow! What an amazing experience!!!

These kind people make such excellent, authentic Mexican street food that I am speechless, and I just want to dance! The food looked so good that we completely forgot to take a photo, and everything was so delicious that I only remembered it when we had almost finished eating.

But I think with the fantastic sight of the hanging chorizo sausages, you can imagine how great the plate looks!

Muchas gracias mis amigos!!!“

“Some of the best birria in LA hands down, la birria de chivo (goat) is just amazing here. They make tortillas freshly big plus for me. Prices are really good, you pay about $20 for an order that can feed 2-3 people . I am a big guy and love to eat, so its amazing…. You gotta try this spot“

“Los mejores tacos de al vapor los recomiendo estos son los mejores de Guadalajara“

“I stumbled upon this family-run marisco joint. Friendly and fast service, they take credit card. Ordered a super mixto ceviche that had every kind of seafod on there, and 2 orders of tacos Dorado, which are deep fried shrimp tacos with sauce and avocados on top. Very delicious! Great for hot summer days“

“If I could give more stars I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We recently had Mano Po grill and pop-up for our students at USC, and it was absolutely amazing! The setup was quick and efficient, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Loni and her team were a pleasure to work with. The chicken, pork, and shrimp were delicious and of the highest quality. We were so impressed with the overall experience, and we will definitely be using Mano Po again for future events. Highly recommended!“

“Great BBQ food. Chicken, sausage, ribs, sides are good too. Bbq bean I like them. Potato was perfect. Mac cheese I'm not big on it but it was good too. Bbq sauce was a bit on the sour side for me. I like a sweeter taste. Over all my order was worth the price.💯👍 For sure to come again.“

“Had the pork gyro, sweet potato and bean salad at Sherman oaks farmers market Sunday. Hands down the best Greek food and farmers market food I’ve had I. Los Angeles. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Cannot wait for next Sunday as I want to get the beef gyro next.“

“Amazing Food! Great Flavor! Great Place To Eat, Highly Recommended! 🌮🌮🌮🍜“

“Great tacos. Cucumbers. I think they were grilling the onions and cilantro. They ran out and I saw them preparing more on the comal. Fresh made tortillas. Con la maquina, but fresh made.“

“I was recommended to try this place and boy I will forever be grateful for this hint. In LA they're multiple taco stand like this, but this one was by far one of the best one. The salsas where extremely good. Tacos where pack with meat. And, try their volcanoes they're awesome!“
