“Best tacos in North Torrance. Nice family owned restaurant. I ordered two chicken and two al pastor tacos. I like how there was a single tortilla and not doubled up. The chicken meat was juicy and flavorful. Al pastor was very good too. I’ll be going back!“

“Got al pastor and carnitas tacos. Carnitas was the winner for me, but the al pastor was still tasty. Tortillas were fresh to order. I ordered a drink but got distracted by the art they have hanging up and left without it. Didnt realize until i got back home to san diego. Will come back for the carnitas“

“This is my to-go taco truck, and their burritos are absolutely the best I’ve ever had. The staff is always so friendly every time I visit, which makes the experience even better. I still can’t believe there’s such an amazing taco spot right here in Gardena. The place is spotless, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you can really taste the care they put into every order. If you’re in the area, this is a must-try—you’ll want to come back again and again.“

“Texan here, working in the area for a few weeks. Didn’t know what I wanted to eat so I jumped in my car and just started driving until I found something.

Saw this place on the side of Vermont and pulled over to give it a try. Slight language barrier, as I’m a straight up gringo that doesn’t know any Spanish, but the gentleman and lady that was running the stand were very polite and sweet, great customer service.

Ordered myself 5 pastor tacos and a Coke and plopped my butt down on the little table they had set up behind the stand, and within a few minutes my food was delivered.

Absolutely excellent food, cleaned my entire plate. Full compliment of extras and sauces to put on your tacos if you desire.

100% would recommend, and I will be back. Take my opinion with a grain of salt because I am from Texas, but I throughly enjoyed it. Food and customer service was great.“

“I just want to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to Snack Shack! Yesterday, July 26th, I stopped by to get some food, and they were already closing. The owner was absolutely amazing and still took my order, which I truly appreciated.

Unfortunately, one of the workers accidentally gave me the wrong food, and I didn’t realize it until I got home. I went back, and the owner immediately refunded my money and went above and beyond by telling me to come back today and get whatever I wanted on the house. That level of customer service and hospitality really meant a lot to me!

So, of course, I came back today, and once again the customer service was amazing. My food was FIRE! 🔥 Everything was delicious, and my daughter and I truly enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for taking care of us and for showing such kindness and hospitality. Mistakes happen, but it’s how you handle them that matters, and you handled everything with nothing but professionalism and kindness. I truly appreciate you and your business.

I will definitely be back! ❤ Thank you again for the food for me and my daughter. We appreciate you more than you know. Have a blessed day! 🙏🏽“

“Whoever made my ultimate cheese burger on November 1st 2025 around 2am and the employee who took and gave me my order at the drive thru and gave it to a hatsune miku dressed girl (me) the night of halloween should get a raise. Ive never ate such a legendary ultimate cheese burger at any jack n the box location until I ate at this one. this wasn’t just fast food, this was a spiritual experience. every other jack in the box burger i’ve had before feels irrelevant now. I took one bite and literally ascended. I know a burger made with love when I ate it. Words cannot explain how fire that burger was. I dont usually make reviews but for this burger i ate i thought i was necessary to leave a review. I will be back.“
