Food Stands near Downey, CA

“Taco Thursday is one of the best deals in town. Both the red and avocado salsas are really delicious, and the owner is always friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that everyone else seems to know how good it is too, so there’s usually a wait on Thursdays.“

“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.“

“What a gem...hands down the best elotes l've ever had!! The corn man is super nice and super fast at pumping out Elote via cob or bowl. There was probably 20+ people ahead of me with multiple orders but it only took 25 minutes to get through since he's so efficient. It can be so amazingly rich and heavy for some folks but this is what you're coming for! A guilty pleasure ruminating in cheese, mayo and liquid butter and corn. I prefer the bowl over the cob since it's much easier to eat. I also recommend getting two at once so u don't have to wait in line again and it's so cheap. 100% recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious, cooked fresh and everything you want in a snack. There’s lots of savory and sweet options- I went with a ham and cheese one and a mixed berry cream cheese one. It looks like they have new and limited flavor options rotated out regularly. Paying is cash or Venmo only, but was very inexpensive. It took about 10 mins, and there’s some picnic tables nearby with cute little birds to keep you company while you wait.

It was cooked perfectly, melty and piping hot on the inside, and crispy on the outside, with a mildly sweet and crispy shell. Absolute perfection! A great way to grab a quick snack and take a short break while shopping. I definitely will be back.“

“It's a street stand, so as far as atmosphere goes, it's what one would expect from a street vendor (no seating available). However, Alejandra's quesadillas are by far the best I've ever had in Los Angeles. And I'm from Mexico City.“

“Best tacos ACTUALLY! Family owned and very kind folks. Had 2 carne asada and 1 chicken tacos. The tortillas were fire and the meat sooo delicious. You also get to put your own toppings and they have guac as an option (not as an expensive add on). So yummy!“

“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!“

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

“Very unassuming place. It looks modest and you would never guess how phenomenal the food is! Everything is freshly made. Hand cut folded wrapped prepped you got it. Best tacos I've tasted on this side of the border. Seating and parking is limited.“

“Got the LA, with asada . Honestly the meat was super well seasoned , I can’t say it’s the highest quality meat it self however every ingredient from the fries to tortilla felt super quality and delicious. Good service , incredible spot!“

“I’m a New Yorker who worked for years in a pizzeria, I take my pizza seriously. Elio’s is real pizza! The ingredients, flavor, and variety are why I can’t visit LA without stopping to grab a pie.“

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

“Incredible grilled cheese sandwich! I attended LA Food Bowl NIGHT MARKET and they had a booth there. The cheese was amazing, sharp and pungent, just how I like it. The bread is great and soaks up the cheese juices perfectly. It's very rich, I had to split a grilled cheese with my buddy. Overall a great experience!“

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

“First time trying this place and it was so delicious! It’s a nice, small spot with fast and very friendly service. It’s family-owned, so I’d definitely recommend supporting them! I also paid with tap (super convenient). We had the pambazo, chilaquiles, and tacos de asada, and everything was really good. Will definitely be coming back! 🤍“

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

“unos tacos muy buenos tenía días de ir a probar esos ricos tacos y justo haora fui y muy buenos muy bien atendidos ..con una rapidez para servirle a la gente gracias ((tacos don cuco ..))“

“Amazing fresh & tasty seafood tacos!!!“

“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 👍🏼🎉! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had a brisket burrito and a few tripas tacos. I can't lie, both were pretty good and the price wasn't ridiculous. Tripas are easy to mess up but they make them right over there. The Molcajete salsa was also on point. I will definitely return.“

“I would definitely visit their booth at Coachella! I love Taco Bell but I'm a vegeterian.“

“The owners are incredibly friendly and the food has been consistently delicious every time I have eaten here! I CANNOT get over the lemonade that is made in house, along with all of their sauces!! You cannot go wrong with any item on their menu; definitely worth a visit!“

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

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

“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 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 🤤“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We stumbled on this little corner barbecue spot today, and wow. The smoke hits you first, in the best way.” “Ribs that actually fall off the bone, a tangy sauce that’s got kick without drowning the meat, and those charred edges. Simple setup, friendly service, and prices that don’t sting. I’m calling it: a hidden gem worth a return visit.”“

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

“Got the chicken sandwich and chicken quesadilla. The chicken sandwich had two big pieces of chicken and was really tasty and spicy. The chicken quesadilla had BBQ chicken flavor. Full of chicken. Both were very tasty. The owner was really friendly and helpful.“

“(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.

Parking: Es una lonchera, las mesas y sillas están sobre la banqueta por lo tanto el estacionamiento es en la callé, donde se pueda.“

“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“

“Delicious,, I tried azada and cecina tacos their tijuana style comes with guacamole and soft tortilla a perfect combination ,, and they have delicious salsas grilled onions and beans to add even more flavor, fully recommendable. 10 of 10.👍“

“I first visited this place five years ago, and it was amazing—one of my favorite taco spots in L.A. I’d been wanting to try it again, and recently, while visiting SoCal, I had the chance to stop by. While it’s still pretty good, it doesn’t quite feel like it used to. The tacos are smaller now, as is the trend with most places in L.A. I’m not sure what happened, but I’m guessing one of the main tortilla distributors started making them smaller, promoting it as a selling point so that trucks don’t have to use as much meat and ingredients. What surprised me here, though, is that the tortillas are handmade and yet they started making them smaller. I still enjoy them—they really are the closest thing to a Tijuana-style taco. The flavor is excellent, and the guacamole is fantastic! All in all, it is still worth it to make the drive because where else can you get handmade tortillas and thick, gloppy guac? Here!“

“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!!!!“

“Customer service was great and not rushed at all. Food was sssooooooo good! Loved the Tacos de Birria and Consume; Not salty at all based on others I've tried. Loved the outside tables it felt good to eat outside for once 😄“

“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...“

“Todo es bien bueno sabroso y sobretodo la atención“

“Fresh food 100% recommend“

“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!“

“Best birria Ever there service is excellent everything is so good 👌“
