Cemitas Tepeaca #1 Mexican • $
5335 E Beverly Blvd, East Los Angeles

“Came across this truck accidentally; was actually going to another spot to get some cemitas which was actually gonna be my first time ever having one. Super glad I came across this spot. Had two milanesa de pollo cemitas one with Chipotle and one with Jalapeño also one with queso fresco and one with quesillo.Food was a 10/10 for me but if I gave y'all a recommendation I would say get the cemita with Jalapeño and quesillo and pro tip!!! (Like if I'm a pro it was my first time here) Make sure you request they add onions!! You won't regret it they're like pickled onion and man does it bring the cemita together. Bread was incredible, chicken milanesa was incredible not too thin not too dry and they're generous with everything else too.. good amount of onions perfect amount of Jalapeños ton of avocado and a good amount of quesillo. The staff seems like they're just there to do their job which I ain't particularly mad about really. Not rude not nice just there. I would also recommend getting one green sauce and one red on the side.. very aromatic sauces pair perfectly with the cemita. Definitely coming back here. Definitely recommending to friends. Also sorry I didn't get a picture of both cemitas. Destroyed the Jalapeño and quesillo one.“

“Taco Mexico have been around close to fifty years since it was founded in 1975 in L.A. I have eaten these great tacos many for years I remember they were couple of Taco Mexico restaurant in surrounding L.A. and other cites. Their Taco de asada are probably the best tacos and everybody like the choice. My favorite choice of meat are pastor and Pollo they season their meat well with spices and marinade and let absorb the flavors. They also have other items on their menu like burrito,taquitos,chili renello and other items.“

“Food is pretty good with a large selection of options to munch on. The Super Burrito is a fun challenge to take on if you like to eat.?

Service is nice and respectable. They do accommodate if you want your food adjusted a bit. Obviously, if you want double the protein, they'll charge you a bit more, but it's cool with me. ?

The atmosphere is okay(for me). What you see is pretty much what you get. The experience of eating there is better with friends or fam.“
