“The food AND service is always good they have friendly staff that make you feel welcomed. Went today around 1 pm whoever was in the kitchen has it on lock, it was amazing. Laura was the cashier / server she was also amazing, had to leave a review!“

“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!!“

“There is a lot of neat vendors around me.
Food, artworks, entertainment, you name it and it's probably there.

Unfortunately I need to knock off a star for how crowded it gets and how it suffers from massive price inflation. Be prepared to spend lots of money here. Otherwise, it's a good place to check out especially if you like to window shop.“

“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“

“my favorite is the Regina!“

“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.“

“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 ..))“

“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.“

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

“It was my first time having tacos at a family party. My family could not stop talking about the food . These are the best tacos ever!!!!! They are so friendly and felt like family . Will definitely have them at our next family gathering. They are a nice family own business and we enjoyed having them . Their customer service is the best . Book them you won't regret it .“

“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“

“Wow! What an amazing experience!!!

These kind people make such excellent, authentic Mexican street food that I am speechless, and I just want to dance! The food looked so good that we completely forgot to take a photo, and everything was so delicious that I only remembered it when we had almost finished eating.

But I think with the fantastic sight of the hanging chorizo sausages, you can imagine how great the plate looks!

Muchas gracias mis amigos!!!“

“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!!!!“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“Excelente servicio, atención, puntualidad, pero sobre todo sabor, riquísimo todooooo, 1000% recomendables y confiables Gracias !!!!! Sin duda los mejores Bendiciones 🙏🏼“

“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“

“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!“

“excellent food, very fresh and tasty!!!“

“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!“

“I very much enjoyed my pesto chicken panini sandwich when I visited the Norton Simon Museum. The sandwich was tasty, the service was 5-stars, and the vibe was on-point! I highly recommend grabbing a bite here while visiting this wonderful museum!“

“Coming from the Bay Area. This spot was delicious! Great costumer service from all the señoras! Price for what you get is definitely worth it! We ordered 2 tacos, 2 quesadillas, side of rice and beans, Gordita and 2 agua frescas for less than $50. Authentic Mexican food shouldn’t be cost effective. Great taste and atmosphere. Would come back again!“

“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!“

“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.“
