Taco Restaurants near Irwindale

“Honestly, this is the best Jack in the box. I go to. The workers are great. They're always friendly. They remember me, they greet me nicely. There is ready to help always courteous. My order is always right. Always cooked fresh and always quick as hell like I'm amazed as how fast they get the food out. Great place can't talk enough. Praise about them.“

“Everything we tried here is beyond delicious and we tried almost everything on the menu! I wish I had more stomach space because the flavor is top notch. The Bulgogi taco is different from anything I've ever tried but the meat just melts in your mouth! The asada and pollo were delicious but the al pastor, shrimp and birria tacos were the stars of the show for us! Perfect flavor combinations and definitely not your average taco- and this is coming from a Mexicana lol. The service is also amazing. The guys are ready to serve with a friendly smile and offer suggestions. The space is clean and offers ample seating. Overall we loved it here and will definitely be back next time we're in the area!“

“I eat here every week after climbing at the nearby gym. They are friendly people. BEST cabeza, so juicy. Cabeza Mulitas are amazing especiallywith the green sauce and lime--? perfection! My friends and I usually get cabeza, al pastor, tripas, suadero, among others. Their champurrado seems more authentic than some of the other local taco trucks I've tried. It actually has the corn flour--great for cold weather. They don't have the veggie/sauce bar here, but you can ask for them. Located at the Arcadia Parking lot on Santa Clara and Huntington.“

“This place is a classic. The best bean cheese burritos in town. The fries and tacos are super crispy crunchy and tasty. I’ve been coming here for years. The prices are good the food and service rock. This place has looked and tasted the same for years. Consistently good. Ten out of ten recommend.The parking is a bit challenging but worth it.“

“Without a doubt the best lunch truck in Cali!! Being a truck driver who has been coming to Cali for 30 years and have visted lunch trucks thru out the state makes me an authority on the subject. So you can believe me when I say they're the best. I've eaten here for over a decade and have never been disappointed once. The team that operates it are also the best. Give it a try. You will definitely not go anywhere else again if you do.“

“The fish tacos are so good! We also tried the shrimp burritos and the tortas, everything was cooked quickly and had great flavor. The portions are huge and the service was also great. The only thing I didn’t like is that it’s outdoor seating only and it can be packed quickly, but everything else was so good, definitely recommend!“

“All I can say is.... WOW!! Come try the food here because it is delicious and FULL of flavor. Usually you expect the same cookie cutter flavor for tacos/burritos/etc but not here. You will find true flavor and quality here. I wasn't the one to pick up our food today but they even tossed in complimentary hot chocolate with our order so I can only imagine how welcoming and friendly the service must be. Would definitely order from again, thank you!“

“This is a gem of a family run restaurant. The specialty is their house-made birria, served in a wide range of dishes. We've tried the quesa birria, the torta de birria, and the amazing birria ramen.The ramen was what drew us to this charming place, and is what keeps us coming back.They have a generous parking lot at the side of the building. They are also wheelchair and mobility scooter accessible.“

“I came in to get a cafe de olla but decided to take the tres leches pancakes Togo I was so glad I did they were delicious, Lorena took my order she was friendly, professional even gave me some fried small gorditas to try , will definitely be back to try their chilaquiles next time..fYI - pancake plate was a great size good to share!! Thank you Lorena !“

“This was a pit stop on the way to the Bay Area from Palm Springs. I’m a veggie and so it was great to see good choices of tacos - potato, cauliflower and brusel sprout here. They were all delicious and of the highest quality but the brussels were a standout. Definitely worth a detour off the freeway!! Service was also the best.“

“# 129 Review for 2024 ***A Culinary Journey: Authenticity, Tradition, and Flavor Explosion at Tacos Los Palomos*** Overall 5 Stars***** If there's a sacred haven for taco enthusiasts, Tacos Los Palomos is it. Nestled in East LA, this gem embodies the essence of Mexican street food culture. As a self-proclaimed taco inspector, stumbling upon this treasure was a stroke of luck, unraveling a tapestry of flavors that transported me to the heart of culinary authenticity. What sets these taco trucks apart is their unwavering commitment to tradition. It's not just about tacos; it's a testament to preserving heritage, using time-honored recipes and seasonings that make each bite an homage to Mexican street cuisine. The sheer variety of flavors--Lengua, Buche, Tripa, Suadero, and Cueritos--each bursting with its own distinct taste, left an indelible mark on my taste buds. But let's talk about the salsa, specifically the chipotle; it deserves its own accolades. It's not just a condiment; it's a flavor symphony that elevates every taco to a divine experience. Yet, beyond the culinary prowess, these taco trucks serve as a conduit to nostalgia and cultural roots. They transcend the realm of mere dining; they're gateways to cherished memories and a taste of home. Each bite feels like a reunion with flavors that resonate with a deep sense of belonging. Tacos Los Palomos isn't just a taco truck; it's an emblem of community, tradition, and an odyssey through the rich tapestry of Mexican culinary heritage. In a world where authenticity often gets diluted, this place stands tall as a beacon of genuine flavors and cultural significance. In short, if you seek not just a meal but an expedition into the soul of Mexican street cuisine, Tacos Los Palomos deserves not just five stars but a standing ovation for keeping the flame of tradition alive in every savory taco they serve.“

“I lived in California most of life, and obviously one of the best parts about living here was taquerias like Tony's. Now I live in Seattle, and we do not have great Mexican food, so every time I come back I have to fill the void. We ordered an assortment of street tacos and a mulitas de pastor. The sheer joy this meal brought me cannot be overstated. 100% chance I will be dreaming about this place next week when I'm back in Seattle, and crying about how much I miss it.“

“First time here and we absolutely loved it. The food is very authentic and it feels like I’m at someone’s home eating home cooked food. My 18 month old daughter really liked the quesadilla with birria using a handmade flour tortilla. My husband ordered the torta ahogada and tacos de barbacoa estilo Guadalajara. I ordered two tacos de Carnitas and it was very delicious! The potato filling is soft and plenty. The carnitas are also very flavorful and filling.You can count on us coming back next time we’re in town.“

“Ordered the Dynamite shrimp. Great flavor with large enough shrimp and good quantity. Came with white rice and cabbage. Added the avocado, I think it's a must.Location was clean, simple and staff was nice. Can't complain about anything. Would go back and try other meals.“

“Decided to check out this place due to its high reviews. We found the owner or front person was very passionate about all the different styles of taco, burritos and nachos. We came in only desiring a snack, but then ending up ordering three meals due to all the choices that sounded so delicious. We really enjoyed their food, and they give you a great amount for the price. The ingredients were really good, and they give you lots of meat. I particularly loved the lengua and tripa (as they cooked it the way I liked it). The reason I give it one less star is the ambience. Its definitely a mom and pops restaurant and the lighting is very dim. Otherwise, the food was good and the prices are great! The owner is so awesome and provides good service too!“

“Before our friends left the country, they gifted us with the beautiful taco knowledge that is this truck. Thanks Ian and Des! We're huge fans of taco trucks in general and this tops our list. There is another more popular one in the area but we feel this one beats it for sure. Prices are reasonable and the Tripa (request extra crispy) is delicious and is our favorite. Carne Asada is our second favorite along with Carnitas. When you ask for everything it may or may not come with these yumm grilled onions if they have it available. More likely they'll have it about an hour into their opening as we've gone super late at night as well as right when they opened. The Red sauce is no joke and we've learned to avoid it and use the green sauces to save our tongues. This is just one of those places that we could eat weekly for sure. Yum!“

“These guys make some of the best tacos in town . I tried the Volcan taco that is delicious their quesadillas . Tacos in general their delicious I highly recommended to all my friends and family already . Also the guys there are very great with people . Their good“

“Very delicious My kids, husband and I are ceviche heads! We're always looking for a good spot every where we go. So glad we have a spot in El Monte now. My sons are huge soccer fans and especially Cristiano Ronaldo fans. So the fact that it's named after him is a PLUS. When I was undecided between the shrimp or fish ceviche the waitress offered to bring me a small taster of each. Can't wait to go back and try some other plates.“

“Small family restaurant but top service and delicious food!!! Whatever you eat is very tasty. ? And a Mexican says it. ??Moms and pops small family restaurant; great customer service and the best Mexican food you can ever have. 100% recommended (and this is coming from a Mexican). ?“

“Delicious tacos. Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty quiet and not a lot of people at the time so I was worried the food may not be too good but that was definitely not the case. Delicious fresh tasting food and excellent service. Everyone working was very friendly.“

“Food is great from here. It seems like a simple taco stand but it isn't. They are super friendly and try to go as fast as they can to go through the line. Never had a problem with problem even if it is on the street haven't found a problem. The top choices I like to choose are pastor, lengua, and asada. The lengua is different here since it doesn't have that chewiness that other places have and is super tender. The pastor is a gold char and marinate and the asada has a nice flavor from the grill. They have raw onions and some cooked ones if you ask them for it. Definitely one of my go to spots if I want some tacos.“

“High quality meats. Delicious sauces. Friendly service. Plenty of area to hang out. Of all the taco trucks I've tried in the LA area, this has to be in my top 5. The quality is top-notch. For one thing, the beef tongue was a GIGANTIC portion. A little unreal to be honest.“

“Tried the Two Fish Taco plate with rice and beans. The fish was really fresh and hot. The salsas were good. The red one is kinda hot and the green one is on the milder side. They also give you chips and salsa. The combo comes with a drink but if you want an agua fresca they charge another $1.25. I had the pineapple and it was really good. A great quality meal for a great price! I would love to try the ceviche next time.Parking: This restaurant is in a strip mall shopping complex so there is plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap parking spots and ramps to get up on the curb. Inside is kind of small and may be a little hard to maneuver if it's during one of the busier times of the day like lunch and dinner.“

“What an unexpected delightful surprise! So glad my better half and I came here for dinner. Went to Dollar Tree to pick up some holiday decorations for work. All that browsing through Dollar Tree made us hungry. So pretty much our decisions as we exited the Dollar Tree parking lot were El Pollo Loco, Taco Bell or this place, Birria Masters. We decided we wanted to try something new and went with Birria Masters. We are so glad that we did. So here's the rundown: For ambiance, it's a food stand in a parking lot. Unpretentious, simple tables and benches. Does its job. Don't let it's appearance deter you from going. For service, there were three gentlemen. All were nice and inviting. Excellent customer service. We ordered the enchiladas queretanas and taquitos dorados. Food presentation and taste was unexpected. Both dishes were beautiful. What got me with the dishes is that they were elevated but in an understated way. They used microgreen sprouts. I love sprouts and if a place uses them in their plating, in my opinion, they are fancy fancy and they know what they are doing. The taste of both dishes were delicious as well. The meat was seasoned and cooked well. The produce they use was fresh and again, they used microgreen sprouts. I don't know any other food/taco stand that uses microgreen sprouts...do you? I don't think so. I think that if you are deciding on a place to go and have dinner, please give Birria Masters a try. I hope that when you try their food you will be pleasantly surprised as we were. Birria Masters is definitely a diamond in the rough.“

“Came down to Walnut to visit my family...and we were wondering what to eat .. In n out ? Happy wok? Casa Alvarez? McDonald's ? No more Colima Burger :( So I looked on yelp and scrolled down till I came upon Country Chicken & Taco Frank was nice and explained the menu... I would say pre order is best because it takes about 15-20 minutes ... they're delicious , we got the buffalo , garlic sauce, tacos , mozzarella sticks , Fries .. my family loved it all. Fed 5-6 people. Would go again.“

“Taco joint in Whittier that serves up great street tacos at unbeatable prices. Stopped in to sample these since stayed last time up the street from this place and could smell the aromas so had to try?All tacos are 2 dollars (tax included) ordered 2 carne asada and 2 al pastor with everything on it. Didnt dissapoint at all, legit LA Tacos. Should have ordered 4 more to go but started to get a line so i passed. Would recommend, 5 stars??Parking: Limited number of parking in front and side of store“

“Our favorite food truck! The food is excellent - I especially love the lengua burrito and pastor tacos. Everyone is always so friendly and service is quick, even when there's a crowd. I'm so glad they're close to home and open late (usually). If you're in the neighborhood (Nogales and La Puente - by the KFC), check it out!“

“My friend and I were craving tacos tonight and found this taco truck. We got 5 asada tacos for ~ $11. The meat was flavorful and came with a side of grilled onions, fresh cucumbers & radishes. Fast service and very clean! Located next to a plaza so ample parking spaces. Can't wait to come back another time to try other items! :)“

“I had such a good experience here. The tacos were good, I got to eat them hot and the tortilla melted in my mouth. I have no complaints of any meats I have tried here before. I love all the variety of salsas and toppings they have. What made my heart happy was we get to pack up our own warm grilled onion, chiles asados, and beans. Everybody who works here was very friendly which I really appreciated. I like that it is in a well lit spacious area and parking was not hard to find. They have a good amount of chairs if you want to eat there. I felt safe and welcomed.“

“I would rate this restaurant 10/10 , from the great service , yummy hot coffee , BOMB carne su jugo !! This place is it ! I've gone to a few other local restaurants but this place by far is my new favorite! My husband got the Birria with consome and 2 huevos , delicious! Thank you guys we will be returning:)“

“Awesome customer service and delicious food. My husband and I wanted a quick snack after a night out. We saw that there weren't too many people so we wanted to support. Unfortunately, we only had $15 cash so all we could get were two mulitas and a taco. The owner told us not to worry and to order what we wanted and that we could come back and pay him tomorrow which is unheard of. We felt bad so told him not to worry and stuck to our original order. Well when we got our food I thought they made a mistake because we had an extra sope and 3 extra tacos. Brought it to their attention and turns out it was on the house! Couldn't believe that. So sweet of them. Food was bomb and the fact that they were so nice and trusting was the icing on the cake. Definitely coming back again and again. Their piña agua was delish.“

“Phenomenal food and amazing service!! Ivan was so kind and generous and he made our first time there a really great one. They don't skimp on the meat and the consome is the best! The birria burrito was my favorite and we'll definitely be back for more!“

“Stopped here for some breakfast and to be honest I was expecting some mediocre food I don't know why. I was just hungry. Me and my wife got Machaca con huevos and chilaquiles con huevos. Our food was very tasty and delicious. It was made fresh and the amount of food was more than we expected. Their menu looks delicious and I can't wait to try more.“

“Finally stopped by this food truck after walking and driving by it for a year or so and I'm glad I did. I'm just sad it took me so long. I had the asada and pollo tacos and they are very yummy. (still eating them as I write this. Lol) I also appreciate the little bag of veggies and the potato they gave me. Not sure if thats usually included, but it was a nice surprise. And the prices are more than fair. Also they two gentlemen working seem really nice. I'm sure I'll be back.“

“The beef ribs and the carne asada tacos are amazing. The tortillas are fresh and the meat is well seasoned. They grill everything right in front of you, and the smell is amazing. Well worth the price for the amount of amazing food you get. The people are also super friendly and will give you recommendations if you’re stuck on what to pick. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for street tacos.Parking: Be kind and park out of the way of flowing traffic. People pile up on the merging lane to Washington. Find a safe place to park and walk.“

“We were looking for a late night snack, and this place hit the spot! I ordered the pastor and cabeza tacos for to go with no cilantro, onions only. My two tacos were wrapped and kept warm in a foil package.When I got back, I realized they gave me chorizo and buche, and a lot of cilantro. I removed the cilantro, not a big deal. The chorizo, at least I think it was chorizo, wasn't too dry and it was flavorful. There were also chunks of fat (?) in it. The buche was salty...and tasted like buche. I liked their salsas and felt it complemented the meats well.Unfortunately I didn't get either of the meats I wanted to try. At $2.50 per taco, I guess I'll just have to go back to order them again.“

“This place make the best burrito of traditional family home make style for burrito...Me and my relatives always come here for dine in and take out also....My mom love the chicken burrito with everything inside of mixing plus no extra salt in it...For myself and my uncle we both love the beef burrito which include everything inside our burritos....The beef was hot n fresh when you eat with the hot chili style sauce....I have try the chicken burrito also and I love it....The owner of this place and worker in this restuarant is so friendly and awesome too...They alway greeting with friendly *hello* n smile ?....the place is neat and clean and alway busy too so depend on the time and the date you swing in for burrito...if you still undecided what to get or order to eat...The owner will recommend it some of their favorite dish too...I have try different dishes and I love it....They make the food like a real Mexican traditional culture of family home make style dish...I would give this restuarant 10 plus stars if the rating can scale it up....But they got my highest *5 stars* rate for it...If you have date or hang out with groups of family members and friends too...You all need to come this place for gathering and enjoy it too...Alway say that is happy good food and happy smile in our face.....heheheheParking: There is plenty of parking and street parking too....have a good meal and smile for life...Wheelchair accessibility: The back door and front door can have wheelchair access into it...bring your whole family to enjoy....“

“I hardly ever consider to even write a review but I knew this place deserved it because of the delicious tacos they served. I got 3 tacos one of each meat they offered, asada, pastor, and pollo. Super tasty, well seasoned, and the best part is you definitely get your money's worth of meat. The taco was loaded with the meat and I was basically full from the 3 tacos. The taco tortilla was a little too soft and soggy for my taste, I prefer a crispier and dryer (not super dry) taco shell. Give the tacos a try!“

“# 77 review for 2024**Taco Los Morales: Bursting with Flavor!** 4 stars****Service 4 Stars****Ambiance 3 Stars**Food 5 Stars***** If you're on the hunt for authentic Mexican tacos that pack a flavorful punch, Taco Los Morales is an absolute gem! This taco truck isn't just a spot; it's an experience. From their pastor to Lengua, Cabeza, Suadero, and Buche tacos, each bite is a flavor explosion that's hard to forget. The seasoning is spot-on, elevating every taco to pure delight.Let's talk about those salsas--red and green, both exceptional! They're not just toppings; they're a knockout of taste that elevates the entire taco experience. And don't even get me started on their Aguas frescas! Horchata, Jamaica, and Piña--each one a refreshing delight.Taco Los Morales has effortlessly secured its place as one of my top go-to spots for delicious, authentic tacos. If you're craving a taste sensation, this truck is a must-visit!“

“The tacos, al pastor and carne de asada, were satisfactory. However, the rice was a little dry, while the beans were tasty. Opting for the three-taco specialty was worth it, especially due to the fast service provided.The tacos, both al pastor and asada, were satisfactory. However, the rice was slightly dry, while the beans were flavorful. Opting for the three taco special was worthwhile, particularly due to the prompt service provided.“

“Nice place a little pricey. Sat outside. Was great. Food took a little bit. Then after 5or 6 minutes a person out to say the order is up. Why didn't she just bring the food???? So had to go in and get it. Odd!! Was hot and great . Would love to go back.“

“I LOVE EL TACO MAN!!! The food is to live for ! It’s delicious!!!! El Taco Man in El Monte is a culinary treasure that deserves every bit of praise it receives. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of authentic Mexican flavors and friendly hospitality. The tostadas, in particular, are an absolute must-try, with their perfect balance of textures and exquisite taste. But don't stop there—explore the entire menu and savor a wide array of mouthwatering dishes. El Taco Man is a true delight for the senses and an experience that will leave you craving more. ?? I will forever eat there ! Yum yum yummy for your tummy“

“Teddy's Taco was really good! My co-worker recommended the Jalapeno taco. So, I ordered one Jalapeno taco, one carne asada street taco, and one barbacoa street taco. All three were good but that blank taco was REALLY GOOD! It has a whole grilled jalapeno, creamy avocado sauce and marinated raisins in the meat. Now, I know what you're thinking but the little hint of sweetness the raisins add just takes this taco over the top and differentiates it from any other taco I've ever had. I wish I had gotten three of those instead of just one but since it was my first time I wanted to try a couple of different things. Next time I go to Teddy's Tacos I will be getting three of those. Delicioso! ???Now, I also tried the Cucumber Margarita and that was pretty good too. They put chamoy and tajin around the rim of the glass, as you can see in the picture. The lady that took my order said that it's a wine based margarita instead of tequila, which is interesting but also makes it not so strong since I had to go back to work. If you're in the area give Teddy's Tacos a try! ?✌?“

“Thank you for hosting our wedding 11/3/23. Tacos were amazing! Everyone got seconds, they all loved your tacos. I also would like to thank your wife who was very helpful in answering all my questions and concerns and more importantly being on top of it, especially when the venue needed something.“

“First time visiting. I ordered the Carne asada burrito. The lady taking my order was very polite. The burrito was excellent. Liked that the sauce and onions and cilantro were packaged. Beans and sliced jalapeños were available. Restaurant was very clean.“

“Impressed. We decided to try this spot out which is right off of Peck. We were super impressed with the quality of the meat and the tortillas. They specialize in tacos al vapor. They offer an array of meat like lengua and asada. Plenty of seating inside, and they also offer drive-through takeout. Clean and friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“I usually go to a taco truck nearby but since they were unexpectedly closed, we found Alma's and went there instead. They prefer cash but I think they take Zelle! I got a flour quesadilla and it was meaty and cheesy just how I like my quesadillas! It also comes with a side of veggies and beans. My sister got a potato taco which I had a bite of and that was unique and delicious also!“

“The food is so delicious. We had the arrachera in tacos, a burrito, and on the potato plate and every bit of it was amazing. The tortillas (both corn and flour) were hand made and fresh. On top of that the the salsas offered were sooooo good. We will definitely return for the food, and customer service. FYI, they are cash and Zelle only. No cards.“

“It's parked on Gale across the street from 99cents store. Ordered carne asada and cabeza which were great. The pastor today was a bit salty and carnita was charred on the outside or flavorful enough. I would order carne asada and cabeA again next time. Only $1.75 a taco and had great salsa and marinated onions. They cash and Zelle. I recommend this place.“
