“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.“

“Exactly what I was hoping for. The Falafel Tacos were tasty, my LA/ Cali Burrito with Carne Asada was great, meat super tender & delicious, and of course the Chile Relleno Burroto was absolutely Devine! Great flavor & satisfying serving sizes. Thank you!“

“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!“

“Delicious, quick, quality. I had chorizo and squash blossom with some red sauce, it was sooo good, the flavors are all perfect together. It’s not rushed, the tortilla is nicely crispy and the cheese is thoroughly melted. Love that this is around the corner from my place.“

“Fpund this place on my way home from a concert, I was looking for a late night bite and this place did not disappoint. The prices are amazing. The quality is top notch some of the most delicious pizza I’ve had in LA. This will be my new late night pizza, it was really really good! The ricotta cheese was mouthwatering!“

“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.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

Much love from nor cal to my taco spot in LA you guys are appreciated“

“Best burgers around! I drive from OC to eat these delicious burgers!“

“There aren’t many sit down restaurants in Watts, but this small family business fills the void. It’s on a busy street with little parking but it is worth it to dodge traffic when crossing the street because THE FOOD IS AMAZING. The tortillas are handmade, as is all of the delicious menu. My favorite is the chicken tinga in a fried quesadilla. Yum yum yum.“

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

“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...“

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

“I recently visited the 626 Night Market with my cousins, and even though I’d heard so much about it, I approached it with mixed feelings. As a foodie, I was excited to explore, but I’m not a fan of waiting in long lines, especially when I can just visit a restaurant instead—though we were there to celebrate a special occasion.

Tip: Definitely arrive early and purchase your tickets in advance! We made the mistake of rushing to the first stalls and missed out on the full experience because we didn’t realize there was an entire other side to explore. Lesson learned! Wear comfortable shoes! Sunscreen! Hand Sanitizer!

Now, onto the food: the grilled squid was delicious, and the fried potatoes were an absolute must-try—especially when they’re hot and fresh. The tanghulu was fantastic, though a bit pricey; I’d suggest trying to make it at home if you can. The balut was good, and the grilled lamb was a standout—it was absolutely fire! However, the Thai rice patty sandwich was disappointing, so I’d recommend skipping that.

There’s so much to see and experience at the market, from tasty food to fun games. We even had a great time playing games, and all the cousins walked away with stuffed animals! Overall, we had a blast, and I recommend checking it out if you enjoy vibrant atmospheres and unique eats. Just remember to plan ahead for the best experience!“

“Way better tacos than Leo's tacos. Their chicken tacos were so well marinated and juicy. Their salsas were so flavorful and they were very kind. Please take care of my people here and tip them extra so they stick around for a long time. Oh, and the pastor was dangerously delicious as well. Highly recommend ??“

“I’ve struggled to find a a delicious taco stand or taco truck ever since I moved out of LA until I found this spot. This spot is the closest I good get to some great tacos or burritos. Their pastor was great and I will for sure go back to try their other meats. Don’t hesitate to try this spot.“

“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 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!“

“I was told this place was good by a group of friends. I was invited to a Torta with Carne Asada and was very impressed by the quality. It's very authentic food , flavor packed Mexican food a 2am hits different.
I definitely want to go back!
The area is a little tight and parking isint the best and it is a little sketchy at night around there“

“Great tacos , Tortas and Quesadilla ... inexspesive priced good food for Pasadena... and the location.. perfect for a quick nite snack or coming home from work or a nite out... 👍🐷🐮🐔🌮🌯🥙😍😍😍😍💋🌛“

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

“I've been coming here since I was a little kid. The food quality is top notch. This is the place to get the best Mexican food in Glendale. The carne asada burrito is a staple. With some lime and green salsa, the burrito is scrumptious. The workers are very friendly and I believe they are a family. It is a humble little restaurant with great food. Parking can be tricky and seating is limited, but the food is worth it. Always fresh and tasty. That hasn't changed in 20 years.“

“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.“

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

“Amazing & fun place events my favorite“

“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!!“

“I have been to both the taco stand and sit in restaurant and they are both really good experiences. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. That is why I booked them for a family party for their catering services. Very professional. They even ask you what your theme is and they try to match it. They came on time, were friendly, and the food was a hit. The food tastes homemade and authentic. You will feel good supporting this Latinx/WOC owned small business that caters to the community.“

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

“These tacos were recommended and Should I say I am thankful I took the recommendation. The Al pastor tacos were delicious. Suadero tacos are good as well. The cabeza tacos are not bad at all. I need to try the rest. I will be back. Prices are very decent especially for the food you pay for. I strongly suggest these 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.“

“Tasty Food.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“A nice place for your food eating and ordering. Trusted and tested my many happy clients.“

“Parking is horrible. You have to quickly turn in the parking lot off Garfield, but you have to go slow, or you will miss it the entrance. Order window is right on Garfield Blvd. On really busy days, they run out of food fast. Everything I have ordered has been delish. Just don't l like that they close by 5:30pm and you have to have cash. Food, price, and amount are 👍👍😁

Wheelchair accessibility: yes“

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

“Amazing little taqueria with great food and service. The soy chorizo option was really good for vegetarians; the veggie options comes with mushrooms. Their mango passion agua fresca was delicious. (They also have dog friendly tacos!)

Vegetarian options: Soy chorizo and veggie (mushroom) options. Potato taquitoes were also good. Have side dishes like corn, beans and rice“
