50 Best Taco Restaurants near Duarte

“Deliciosos! Con un sabor exquisito!“

“The portion sizes are pretty great for their prices, despite me thinking they'd be small from photos lol. Our party of three had enough leftover for at least 3 more servings tbh, the tacos & tostadas are big.

Though there was a slight wait (we ordered 2 tostadas, 1 serving of taquitos [2], 1 burrito, & 3 tacos), the customer service was swift and kind. The flavor of the food wasn't anything insane, but I liked it just fine and they let you have as many salsa as you want. They don't skimp on cheese and the other toppings.

I'd definitely recommend coming here even outside of their special pricing on Mondays and Tuesdays!“

“Every time you walk into this restaurant, the vibe is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is always fresh and full of energy thanks to the music one visit might be old school hip-hop and R&B, the next you’ll hear country, Banda, or even modern pop and house. It keeps things exciting and makes every experience feel unique.
But the real star here? The specialty tacos. Hands down, some of the best in Southern California. They’re packed with flavor, made with care, and honestly set a new standard for what tacos should taste like. The quality is consistent, and no matter what you order, you’re going to be impressed.
On top of that, the pricing is unbeatable for SoCal. You get top-tier food and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back without breaking the bank. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the vibe, but this restaurant does it effortlessly.
If you’re looking for a spot that combines amazing food, unbeatable tacos, and an always-fun atmosphere, this is it.“

“Omg the best wet burrito ever got the Verde sauce and it was spicy I've been looking for the perfect wet burrito and this was amazing 👏 all I needed was some rice and horchata to make it a perfect meal but the burrito itself was perfect I'll be going there from now on to buy my wet burritos. My long time craving for wet burrito was satisfied to the fullest.“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“Hands down, some of the best Tacos and chilaquiles I’ve had. They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is made to perfection. The hand made tortillas and their freshly made Jamaica are a must try! Also home to the most genuine hardworking staff.“

“I got a fever and there's only one cure...Taco Lita Burrito with Taco Lita hot sauce“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“Delicious chilaquiles. The Queca (quesadilla) was also phenomenal. Everything tastes homemade (which it is if you peer into kitchen when you go use restroom). To top it all off you can go to their bakery and grab something sweet. The 3 flavor concha was the best I’ve had.“

“This place is wonderful. The salsas were fresh and delicious, which is a must for any restaurant that serves tacos. We had chicken, carnitas and beef tacos. All were great. My son, who is on a strict pizza/nugget/chicken finger/beans & rice diet ate 5 tacos and he isn’t a big eater. My family will be back here for sure.“

“Omg, hands down the best tacos in the 626. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share from TJ Tacos to Tacos El Gordo in San Diego and even Taco El Franc. This spot is legit. The line every night says it all.

This time, I ordered the baked potato with cheese and lengua (tongue). Absolute perfection. They serve it with handmade corn tortillas that take everything to another level. The meats here are packed with flavor. My usual go-tos are the al pastor, cabeza (cow’s head meat), and tripas (beef intestine). Next visit, I’m eyeing the sausages, stomach, and carne asada.

And their salsa? To die for. It’s fresh, spicy, and ties everything together perfectly.

The team here is friendly and clearly takes pride in what they do. You can taste the care in every bite.

They’re parked right on San Gabriel Blvd with a solid setup. The ambiance is just right, and honestly, the only thing missing is some outdoor dining space.

Parking is free and easy on the street.“

“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.“

“wow. this hit hard. the fish taco was beyond words, the tacos were so juicy, and the prices were really good. the green salsa is honestly the best salsa ive ever had. we also got a torta and burrito (not pictured) which were amazing. we will definitely be coming back.“

“We are from out of state & have family in San Gabriel so whenever we are visiting we look up the Tacos Jalisco truck. We don't have many (if any) food trucks where we are from, and I have been to MX several times and had some real live tacos, and these guys are spot on. I highly recommend!“

“I've been coming here since the mid 90s.. best burgers I've had. Prices went up but you know what, its soooo worth it.. everyone knows me here and they make me feel like family.. that's what I look for in a food joint.. I will always come back here“

“On vacation from Philly and wanted a quick late nite meal. Tacos were well-seasoned and delicious 😋“

“This hole in the wall taco shop is awesome. I had the three taco special with carne asada and carnitas which was tasty. I tried the hot hot sauce but I would suggest using a little at a time because its hot hot. This was so good I'm went the next day too.“

“This little stand is so cute. They're just on the corner by the bus stop and their food is pretty good. I had two tacos and fell in love quickly. I bought a burrito to take home for I think, $10? Pretty reasonable considering how big it was. Salsas are self-serve, and there's a table and chair if you'd like to eat it immediately.“

“The support from our community, friends, students and our friendly staff.“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“If you are looking for steamed tacos, these are the best I've found! The menu is simple with just 4 meat options, but honestly, those are the only ones you need when they are cooked this well. Everything is savory and delicious. Plus, the service is great and the staff is super nice.“

“Bomb tacos👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🌮🌮 everything is good...nachos are bombayyyyy💣💣😍😍“

“Place is literally off the freeway exit so it’s noisy and lots of dust! But don’t let the location fool you!!!! TACOS ARE 9/10-10/10 depending what you like. I tried Asada, Al Pastor, and birria and they were FIRE nice selection of drinks (Agua frescas and sodas) and nice fresh “

“Fantastic. Delightful. Yummy. We had their carne asada burritos, carne asada taco and el pastor taco. Everything was so flavorful. I was craving carne asada, but great carne asada not the bland stuff you find at most places. They city we live in DOES NOT have a single place that satisfies our taco and burritos craving. We found this place by chance and it did not disappoint. Trust the 5 star reviews. They're telling the truth. Although this is a 30-40 minute drive from home, we will gladly make the drive for this food. Oh and the horchata is the best!“

“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 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.“

“Delicious and simple. Place is nice and cozy small place the service was nice too and hearing the other customers come in and talking to the server or owner (?) made me feel like they have their customer service down. Definitely will be back“

“BEST BURRITO IVE EVER HAD! Wow. Seriously. It takes a lot for me to leave a review. But I'm sitting here eating this burrito and it is probably the best burrito I've ever had. Perfect size (long not overly thick like some places do where every bite is hard to take) taste is spot on. The a la cart options out front allow me to add my toppings to each bite as I want. And this yellow sauce is PERFECT HEAT and FLAVOR. A+ GUYS.“

“I visited los cuates tacos for the first time, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The tacos were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The salsa was the perfect complement, fresh and with just the right amount of spice. On top of the great food, the customer service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent service, great food, special price !!“

“I had the best dine in experience from the moment I went in the vibe was nice clean and friendly staff Amanda & Arlena such great customer service I appreciate your patience when I was ordering, to the attentiveness while i was eating i felt so appreciative to have had a wonderful experience so I thought I'd share keep up the great job girls

I had the 2 taco combo with rice and beans plus added a Michelada so delicious oh and it came with small shrimp cocktail“

“Visiting Pasadena for a gaming convention and Grabbed some late night Al pastor and also some chicken and potatoes tacos and with their salsas…. It is heaven. Doin’ it right, here in Pasadena at Colorado and Altadena“

“If you come to Sergio’s, you HAVE to get a wet burrito. They’re super delicious. Now I will say the cook who’s at the grill tends to matter a lot. Sometimes they have some of the younger crew running the grills and the food just doesn’t have that consistent quality. However, for the most part their wet burritos and Sopes overall are the hitters at Sergio’s. They’re so good. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and I’ll keep coming back. If you’ve tasted Sergio’s on Garfield and Olympic it does not even compare, the Vail location wet burritos are a must try.“

“Amazing birria tacos 😍🌮 came in at around 9pm and I also got a Cantarito. Soooo good. The consomé is also really good. The queso birria tacos are $3.50 & the consomé is $3. Really great price. The Cantarito was $15 but it was really good. I had it with Mezcal 🍹I took the food to go and even though I ate about an hour after I got them, they were still really good. No soggy tortillas 😆 overall 5/5 ⭐! Great service, too! Thank you so much! 🙏“

“One of the best seafood places i have been to. Excellent service and at very affordable prices. The place has been kept squeaky clean by the friendly staff. I ordered the grilled wild rockfish which came with 2 sides. It was delicious. I needed a box to take home. I will be back for sure.“

“The food was great. They took our order fast and the food was out shortly. The food itself was really delicious. We tried the birria tacos al vapor and the kesabirria with consomé. The consomé had great flavor. We also had the chicken tacos and they were soft and toddler approved:)“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“This location has some of the best asada tostadas in the area. They have great customer service and always treat all the clients like family, apart from the mouth watering food they serve they always ensure to keep the kitchen very well maintenance and deep clean after every night.“

“Went to give this spot a try, was unsure about the mixed reviews. But this place is actually really good, got the tacos Dorados with cheese and guac, they were delicious, guess others went on a slow or bad day. I will be back here again..... price is a little up there, as the taco dorados are $4 with everything. They are cash only....“

“Stopped by for the first today and the service was good and the food came out fairly quick. The Quesabirra tacos were amazing! The consume has a little bit of a kick but was very flavorful. The tinga and asada taco we're just ok. Nothing to write home about but we will be going back just to get more of those Quesabirra. I definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“The truth is, I really liked the tacos, the quality meat and the very rich seasoning?and above all the service. The cook is very kind, blessings on your business. Recommended ?x?.

Kid-friendliness: Children can enjoy a small taquito of well-cooked meat and fresh vegetables ?“

“After driving by, and smelling the delicious food every time I come home from work, I decided to give this truck a shot. The food was just delicious as it smelled.Its cash only, so be prepared for that. Parking is easy, as they are posted near an Aldi. That's a big plus.“

“Food truck outside CVS in rosemead... and glad I stopped randomly. Good asada! Enjoyed my tacos and mulitas. I like side bag vegetables with cucumber and radish to munch and the fact that they gave me extra onions and peppers to take home. if you want hot sauce, onions and cilantro on side, get a good size bag for it too. I'll be back again“

“Their al pastor tacos are delicious, and the other options, such as asada and chicken, are satisfactory. The service was prompt, and they serve quite a few people. They accept credit cards, cash, or Zelle. The churros at the churros truck are delightful. They are freshly made. I will always return here for some al pastor and churros.“
