Food Stands near Downey, CA

“First time at Tacos Raul and I was seriously impressed! I ordered the wet burrito and it was so good, flavorful meat, perfect seasoning, and a generous portion. What made it even better? It came with a horchata included, which was super refreshing and tasty.

Service was fast and prices are cheaper than other spots I've been to, but the quality doesn't feel cheap at all. The dining area was clean and not overcrowded when I visited, making it a really chill spot to enjoy my food. Plus, there was plenty of parking outside, which is always a win.

Definitely coming back to try more from the menu!“

“Had the pleasure of visiting Tacos El Sobrino in the city of Downey, CA.
I've been enjoying their food for years from a their location off of 54th Street and Central where they sell Excellent Tendon Tacos. Now, they have this Brick and Mortar location.
I had the Birria Ramen and a Tendon Taco. Everything was delicious! Will be back again.“

“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.“

“Huuuuge portions of really tasty food. This place is a sleeper- great value for LA. The food is prepared with care and the flavors don’t disappoint. I have had the Habibi a few times with chicken and it’s such a good burrito. Cucumber salad was tasty and the Jamaica is really tart ! Just the way I like it.“

“We ordered 4 Taiyakis for only $12. Then the owner was so sweet! She offered a 5th one for free. Got our fresh Taiyakis after pager rang quickly! All flavors were great: Red bean, apple, custard cream, mango, and chocolate filling within freshly baked crunchy shells. We almost wanted to order another round if we were not on the way of leaving Little Tokyo Market. Must try again next time!

Kid-friendliness: The fresh fish shaped Taiyaki tastes much better than the frozen one kids usually get in stores.“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. 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!“

“This cart is a great example of what I love about the LA food scene: tucked off the boulevard, in front of the municipal parking, is high quality, hand made food at a great price.

Asked for suggestions of what to get and was suggested a mix of Huitlachoche and Chicharron. The blue masa is pressed and cooked to order, cooked with cheese, and then finally cooked with the fillings. A nice addition to the salsa bar is the cotija cheese which went great with my Quesadilla.

The Quesadilla was phenomenal; the Huitlachoche was cooked well and had an almost stewed like texture that was cut by the saltiness and crispness of the Chicharrons. The crisp cheese and fresh tortilla were great as well.

For $9 this was a great lunch, looking forward to coming back again.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“Man I wish I had this close to home , every time I’m in La this is my go to taco shop I’ve tried many from random YouTube videos but never beats out these tacos . Such an authentic Mexican spot I’m hungry rn typing this out but damn I can use 4 asada 1 chorizo rn 🤣🤣🤣 everything is really good n how you would expect it to taste . Much love from nor cal to my taco spot in LA you guys are appreciated“

“Hands down the best wood-fired pizza in town! The crust is perfectly crisp, the toppings are fresh and flavorful, and every bite is pure perfection. Its not greasy and doesnt make you feel gross after. Just perfection. I LOVE this place. Friendly staff and quick service make it even better. A must-visit for any pizza lover! 🍕🔥“

“The fact that we felt transported in time with the vibe alone is 5 stars. I got treated to a perfect chilaquiles en mole covered with sunny side up eggs. Side of refried beans and white rice sprinkled with cotija cheese. One word. Phenomenal. Add a chia lemonade, and I'd say I had the perfect breakfast. Second dish was a pozole with a side of pata had to order a second pata it was so good and tender. Radio Joya in the background playing, definitely took us Mexico City in what felt a 70s era. Highly recommend this place .“

“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...“

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

“definitivamente muy sabrosos los tacos los mire en tic toc y dije que cuando fuera a las angeles iría con mi familia a probarlos y la verdad quedamos fascinados,,,no entiendo como muchas loncheras o restaurantes venden Tacos de cabeza muy caros pero además de caros malicimos,,,la verdad se los recomiendo,,,,o y lleguen temprano porque se acaban muy rápido.“

“super affordable and the best authentic mexican food i’ve ever tasted! better than some big time restaurants. The portions are 10/10 on the burrito i just ordered. Food so good I had to leave a review 5 minutes after i was done eating. best part is that they open late if u want late night mexican food

In the picture here me and my mom ordered one FAT carne asada burrito (i requested no beans) and 2 tacos! They have onions and cilantro, limes, sauces on the side if u want some to go with ur food.

I will be coming here again with all my friends“

“Some super birria tacos, and not to mention on the weekends; tacos al pastor. A delicious tacos, al pastor are genuine Mexican style, the closest thing in Los Angeles. You can also order a plate of birria which comes with meat and their tortillas on the side. Another option is beef birria, for those who don't like goat. The great assortment of cakes, quesabirrias and quesadillas among other things. The trompo and grilled tacos al pastor can only be found on the weekend. Now you can also find Ramen with birria and quesabirrias.“

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

“The Pork Belly Fries are yummy and filling! This location is good for a hangout with friends. A bit pricey, but you get a big portion size and delicious fries. The portion size is good for two people to share. The meat is tender and fries are flavorful. I’m surprised this place isn’t more popular. We arrived during an afternoon and the location was empty. Plenty of seating options. Decent customer service. This business is located in a small plaza with plenty of parking spots.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I found this new BBQ pop-up in Lakewood at the YMCA and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the kindness of the family that runs it, to the delicious food. Last week I had the 3 meat plate (I chose brisket, pork belly and chicken) which came with 2 sides and it was only $28! The brisket and pork belly were SO tender and juicy and had an amazing flavor! Earlier today I had the one meat plate with chicken, this coleslaw that is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and their brisket chow mein. So good! Everything is homemade down to the sauces and they have things like burritos and Texas toast brisket grilled cheese. It’s called Axiom Kitchen. Husband, wife and kids and so kind…they made us feel so special. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. I know they are at the Lakewood YMCA on Sundays and I think Fridays and they are at another location on Thursday but I’m not sure where.“

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

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

“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. ??“

“The service is amazing. The staff are so patient and friendly! The tacos are was so delicious!! Also their salsa and homemade hot sauces are so good! Definitely recommend to get their dragon fruit drink if available! Also there are dog friendly tacos!! Only thing is parking, just find street parking.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“trio tacos are delicious and the burrito is good make you feel full when you eating.“

“Sooooooo good! Can’t wait to Oder again! I got the queso pupusa and birria tacos both we the bomb. The churros were awesome too.“

“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“

“I've passed by this place many times. Sometimes there's limes of people. Always wanted to try their char siu bao. They have both steamed and baked types. I bought both types. I usually like the baked type more. But here both were good but I preferred the steamed ones more.“

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

“Michell saved the day!! We had a group of eight for dinner and our original server took our orders and never came back from break. Michell took over and was helpful, funny, and courteous. All of the food was good but some of us ordered the Thanksgiving Pasties and they were DELICIOUS. Highly recommend Ghost Town Grill over any of the faster places at Knotts. Ony request for Knotts- bring back the Boysenberry Gin & Tonics! They were FABULOUS and we were so disappointed you took them off the menu!“

“This place is great! Celebrating over 50 years! Gotta try it!“

“Exelente servicio de buena calidad y su personal muy amable totalmente de acuerdo con su Servicio. 100% Recomendable“

“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“

“Tacos de pastor muy ricos“

“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.“

“BEST TACOS EVER!!! WIFE AND I USE TOGO TO LA TO GET OUR TACOS. THESE GUYS MAKE EVERYTHING FRESH, EVERYTHING IS HOMADE!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME HERE AND FOLLOW THEM!!!!“
