Food Stands near El Monte, CA

“Last minute stop for a burrito. Initially it was a bit hard to find but it’s a small restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic. Asked them if they were able to make a breakfast burrito in the middle of the afternoon. Great service. Chorrizo burrito was a decent size. Set me back $14 and came with a side of chips which was a nice surprise.

The only thing I would say about this restaurant that kinda sucked was the parking. Looks like they share the parking lot with an auto body shop. Other than that, the food was as authentic as it gets.“

“location and excellent customer service“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“This spot sells mesquite grilled chicken as a street stall. Prices are reasonable and their seasoning is SO good. Very good street food.

their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite.

Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside.

Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure!

Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

Parking: Near the food4less“

“This is an original "street tacos" stand. The carne asada tacos were delicious, and the servings were quite generous. The staff is very helpful and friendly, prices are very affordable, and the outdoor seating and music is a lot of fun.“

“carnitas abel is the best #1 tacos and salsa 👍😋🤗there yummy delicious ,when they are open i reccomend to go buy as many tacos as you want👍👍,there that good &delicious“

“This is a small weekend cafeteria that supplements a visit to the Norton Simon Museum and it is perfect for the task of refreshing visitors taking a short break from the process of art viewing. We had a roll and coffee each with various less healthy add-ons and then sat admiring the lake, the surrounding sculpture garden and watching people, a perfect mid Sunday relaxation. Service was good and friendly, food was adequate quality and the price was fair.“

“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!“

“They have cute macaroons and large cookies as well as ice cream of you wanted cookie sandwich. The chocolate chip cookie was just right. Not too gooey. The price is just slightly above average but considering the style of macaroons, its would be justified. The artful details on the cookie would be worth with if it was a little bit larger. The attendant was helpful when I asked for ingredients on the cookies due to my food allergies. He was pleasant. Overall, if you want the macaroon cookie, it would be to please the little kid in yourself, or your child. Lol. Anyways, if you like this review, please click the like button. Thank you and have a good day!“

“Delicious I got a guisado de chicharron ND my wife a guisado of costilla both plates were Delicious with fresh made corn tortillas ND a agua Fresca of Limon n chia I definitely recommend

Parking: Free street parking definitely worth it if ur into these kind of mexican dishes there's also other vendors in that same area to walk around.“

“I’ve been coming here for the last couple of years. I was unaware they offered hot and soup sour until the other day when I went in before they normally open and their to-go items were not all yet available. I opted for their hot and sour soup because I’ve had this craving that was not satisfied by another place I had recently ordered this soup from. The hot and sour soup was exactly what I was expecting as far as taste and I wished I had some vinegar to add. It was just what I needed and have been longing for. The other picture is of some of their to-go items on another visit. I love their eggplant dish! YUMM! The owner is really nice and welcoming. I enjoy stopping by when I head to the 99 ranch next door.“

“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.“
