“The food is authentic and so delicious 😋“

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

“Super glad I found a new exciting spot with GREAT coffee. My tastebuds were very happy with my iced sugarfree vanilla latte and banana cold foam! The coffee was bold and smooth and they did not over power the coffee with sugar! The staff was so friendly and sweet! I’ll be back again and again 🤍🤍🤍“

“Best Tacos I have ever had. No joke. Girlfriend & I stayed in Pasadena for a vacation a few weeks back, ended up getting these 4 nights in a row. I’m not even lying when I tell you this little Taco Truck was potentially the highlight of my entire vacation. God I wish I could have some more.“

“Mas Cafecito has delicious unique coffee flavored drinks. The only thing I was surprised about is that they don't sell regular unsweetened black coffee! How does a coffee place not sell regular black coffee?“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. They do also offer non spicy/mild for children. A variety of delicious options to choose from. Bulgogi was seasoned very well and nothing was dry. Overall 10/10. Very much looking forward to eating here again.

Kid-friendliness: Offer non spice options as well“

“my favorite is the Regina!“

“Been meaning to hit this place, but always pass them up. Glad I stopped by, they got some good eats here. Tried the Vamipro with bistec and potato. Nice and crispy hand made tortilla. Potatos were healthy cut pieces and soft. Also had the Guisado sampler and man they are not shy with the servings. I definitely recommend the sampler plate if you are wanting to try the different options of guisados. For this location early is better as they do sell out of items on the early side. They also have restaurant where you can get there goods as well.“

“By far the best food from a food truck I’ve ever had. This is my go to and staff already know my order when I walk up. Staff is also amazing and genuinely want you to have a great experience. My favorite dining in the area for sure.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“I was lucky enough to go when they had elotes. Always love getting Adrian's tacos. Also they are always very friendly. Definitely recommend.“

“Love love love their carne asada torta and shrimp tacos. I also love their onions that they give with fried Serrano. Also their habanero salsa is to die for 🤤
This taco truck has been my number one option and the price is very reasonable.“

“I have driven past this place for years skeptical of the seafood at a small stand, but boy was I proven wrong! So glad the location I was going to was closed because the nearest seafood was Mariscos el Zurdo. I saw they had 7 mares, so we said let's give it a try. Luckily we found parking in the small lot they share & found a table to eat because it sure got full & people waiting on a table.
I am kicking myself for having missed out on the delicious fish taco, shrimp hard shell taco, & agua chile tostada, all these years, but I will sure make up for it. The soup wasn't the best 7 mares i've had, but it was a big hearty bowl with crab legs that my soothed my mom's craving.
I am looking forward to head that way & stop to try other items along with that aguachile tostada 😋“

“The Lobster Roll is excellent. The bun is deep-fried, which gives it a great rich flavor and crispy texture, pairing perfectly with the fresh, generous lobster meat. Another standout is the Tofu Pudding—it has a very unique, rich aroma and is incredibly smooth.

The ingredients are fresh, the service is genuinely friendly, and the place is clean. Great quality for the price. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“When you visiting the area stop by for amazing tacos, we had the tripa, asada, cabeza tacos, pastor quesadilla and sincronizada, everything was delicious, the staff were very friendly, they are from Oaxaca and Veracruz means the taste is real Mexican style. They are parked on the street and the park area is safe.“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“The food was amazing. We ordered about 14 tacos and two Mexican coke for $35.“

“Delicious chicken nachos, flautas, and chilequiles burritos!“

“I come here a lot with my husband and friends but today was very disappointing. I ordered a torta de asada and was very upset. 5 pieces of black aguacate and half a piece of tomato for the entire torta. Than my husband ordered some tacos and the meat wasn’t seasoned and half of the meat was burned. We are very disappointed we have never been disappointed before this is one of our favorite places to go eat. Today the people working their looked new we paid $37 for our food and are upset.“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“Finally tried this place out after driving past it for the nth time. They do $1.50 taco Tuesdays and is parked right next to the Starbucks off Duarte and Rosemead. A bit more difficult to get to if you're coming from east of the intersection due to the median island and no U turn restriction, but damn their food is worth the trouble. Their al pastor is very well seasoned and probably my favorite protein out of all the choices. Tacos come with grilled onions and a piece of potato, with thick cut cucumbers and slices of lime. Nachos are loaded with sauces and burritos are packed with flavors. They have 4 sauces, 2 red and 2 green. The thicker, opague looking ones are the spicier of the 4, while the clearer 2 are the less spicy ones.

Ever since my favorite taco truck at the vons plaza been swarmed with customers for the past couple months on Tuesdays, I've been looking for an alternative. And dare I say it, I think I've found it.“

“Pretty typical taco truck, but it's the closest one and the food is always good and in stock. Burritos are my go-to, and I add sour cream. The al pastor tacos are a little sweet for my tastes, so I usually get the suadero and asada. They have bacon wrapped dogs, and nachos using round tostitos and actual nacho pump cheese like at the ballgame.“

“Los mejores tacos � del este de Los Angeles. Vale la pena la manejada de 45 minutos. � � � �“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“As others have stated, I believe the tacos are better tasting than Los 7 Carnales. People hyped up that one and said handmade tortillas were great to only be let down when I got a bland tasting taco. I’ve tried most of the meats at el plebe and the food is good and consistent. My go to taco spot along Whittier.“

“I stopped by this taco truck after my usual taco stand wasn’t open—and I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered the buche, carnitas, pastor, and cabeza tacos. The carnitas and cabeza were the best—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

I also had the carne asada fries, which were hearty and satisfying. The guacamole in the carne asada fries is seriously addictive, and their salsa, along with the pickled jalapeños and red onions, added a fresh, tangy kick.

At $2.50 per taco, the prices are reasonable for the quality. I’ll definitely be coming back.

If my photos look half eaten, it's because I forgot to take pictures first“

“Strawberries and banana Yummie“

“Some of the best tacos and special treats in east LA. There asada nachos and burritos smack. The salsa here the one of the reasons why this place is amazing it’s nice and spicy as it’s suppose to be. Anyone looking to get some good food for a great price come here and try Jason’s tacos they won’t disappoint. Thank you Jason for always keeping the salsa nice and spicy 1# reason I come here is for the amazing salsa“

“El Jato has the best soft shrimp tacos in all of east l.a. thier botana is also very good. I would recommend this place to anyine looking for good seafood.“

“Sumos Tacos is a must-try! The tacos are packed with flavor, the meat is juicy and well-seasoned, and everything tastes fresh. Portions are very generous and worth every bite. Super friendly and fast, but most importantly delicious 🤤 Whether you’re craving tacos or something a little different, Sumos Tacos delivers. Definitely coming back! 🌮🔥“

“Ok, so before you cause you should. They only accept cash or Zelle payments. This place has some the freshest fish around and quality. Had some at a work function so had to come out and try more of their food. Took me home so.e of their Tostada de Casa and it was fire. This comes with scallops, jaiva, ceviche de pescado, octopus, 2 styles of cooked shrimp and all the normal veggies that go with ceviche. First off the octopus was great, perfect texture not overcooked where it becomes chewy. Scallops also had great texture all around. They have all other great items i will be looking forward to try in the future.“

“Best churros I’ve ever had! Delicious 😋“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“This place is delicious. Handmade tortillas. Flavorful meat. Someone complained that the chorizo is like a hot dog. Yea its a different style of chorizo, still chorizo, just not crumbly. Its good in the burrito. The best salsa is the molcajete reddish brown looking one. The horchata is refreshing and delicious. Love this place when they are there.“

“I love this taco truck! The service was amazing and everyone was so kind. My boyfriend accidentally dropped all three of his tacos right after getting them 😅 When he went back to order more, they asked if something was wrong with the tacos. He explained what happened and they offered to replace all of them! He insisted on paying for another 3, but when the order was ready, they surprised us with 4 tacos instead! 🥹❤️

Not only was the service incredible, but the tacos were so yummy full of flavor and cooked perfectly. This place is a must try taco truck! 🌮🔥 Thank you guys so much we were so happy and really enjoyed our tacos!“

“We stopped by Mikey’s Taco and had a great experience! The carne asada was delicious, and the tacos were packed with meat. The al pastor had excellent flavor, and the meat was tender. On top of the great food, Nia was incredibly nice and super friendly, making us feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Walk in there for lunch on World Cup opening day thinking they would have on Mexico’s game and they didn’t. So many tv’s in their business but no game on. I thought they would cheer for Mexico on that day. because their clients are Mexicans.“

“Food is delicious and great menu“

“The texture the taste and quality was good I had the Birria tacos I will not choose the toasted Tortillas anymore because they where a bit too burned. The price was fair fair enough to align with the quality. I give this place a good recommendation. 👍“

“Top smash burger spot in San Gabriel valley, Mikey is super cool and the burgers are amazing. Be sure to get the double smash burger as it has a lot more taste than a single! His special sauce is so good as well!

Parking: Parking at Nogales high school a lot of parking“

“me encanta los tacos de alli“

“I tend to get my tacos to go. Al pastor tacos are bomb. The salsas are pretty good too. I've been a frequent customer, but I also explore other taco spots. Usually pretty quick. Just that where they posted has a lot of activity. No sodas. Just aguas Frescas. Which are decent as well.“

“Delicious Al pastor tacos and burritos, all of the condiments you could need or ask for, everything is fresh and the horchata is a good mixture. 10/10 neighborhood taco stand in my opinion and any locals should come try and give patronage to this well done stand and its employees.“

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