50 Best Taco Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

“Chix wings so juicy just like when first opened. Server Jack makes the place a happening spot. Still in place after years!“

“Very good food! Fast service & very clean restaurant, definitely will go back!“

“I realize that when they are sandwiches or promotional packages, the presentation is not the best or the same as the regular ones.
This branch is small and most of the tables were disorganized and dirty... I cleaned the table where I sat.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“As some other reviewers I knew this place from youtube and was glad I went here when visiting LA. The quality of the food and the friendly staff are top notch. We tried steak, chicken and falafel tacos as well as quesadillas. All were great with the chicken tacos being my favorite. I truly loved the variety of flavors you get with every single bite. It was so good that we ordered some more tacos on our way out, as a snack on our road trip.

The obvious downside is the location in a bit of a sketchy area, but I assume that can hardly be avoided in LA.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“The soft shell crab taco was stupendous. One of the best things I've eaten this month. Unique, flavorful, absolute must have.

The Baja style fish taco was fine, but not nearly on the same level.

One taco was around $7, which is more of a gourmet price. But I would happily pay that for the soft shell crab taco.

Service was very impersonal. Nobody greeted me. Not a single word of hi/hola, thank you, goodbye. Nothing. You just enter your name and order on a tablet. A few moments later somebody looks and gestures at you to take your food. Sitting situation is not great. But it's a fast casual bite, so you're not there for a long time. FYI - this is a food truck and not a brick and mortar space.

I would go out of my way to eat the soft shell crab taco again. Wow, I'm still thinking about it.“

“I had suuuuch high hopes for this place. Don't get me wrong, the tacos were very tasty, just soooo greasy!! My asada taco grease got all over. I mean, it didn't stop me from eating most of my food 😬🤣.... but the grease floating on my plate was a lil bit of a disappointment. 😩 Hubby's tacos were REALLY GOOD, no grease so maybe it was a bad asada night. I'LL BE BACK though.... to giver her another try.“

“K Pasa is just what the neighborhood needed. The vibes are great, the food is fast, the food is delicious and the price point is right. They have a variety of free sauces to throw in too! I’m a neighborhood regular :)

Parking: Parking is paid at the meters and free on side streets but be aware that parking in K town is always a challenge.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

“This place really surprised me! Great food and vibes. I’m a student at PCC and pass it frequently.

Decided to pop in for a night, and maaaan I’ve been thinking about it since! I got the Mahi tacos and the hibiscus margarita! SOOO GOOOOD!!!! And the staff is also super friendly.

They also offer a student discount, which is really awesome for someone like myself!!!

Definitely worth a frequent visit if you’re a student or a local!“

“My go-to taco truck in the area. It’s in a small lot but there’s free and metered parking on the street. Fast, friendly service. Street tacos are small but filling. Cash only. Meat is well cooked and the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend. Enjoy.“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“The OG goat! Definition of hole in the wall but far from a dive. Delicious and affordable burritos. Can’t beat this combo right here. Spicy salsa and a weekly raffle to win more burritos.
Street parking and take out only but you can find plenty of spots down the block to sit and eat at. I tend to grab a burrito then a latte at Black Elephant to chill at their patio.

The hood may be gentrifying but we keeping this place right where it is!“

“Great tacos!!!! To be returning soon again....“

“This place was honestly so good, the vibes were great, I came craving a good late night iced coffee and tried the horchata coffee and it was so delicious 🤤 the prices are very reasonable and overall the food was good too everything tasted fresh.“

“Holy moly, my new favorite taco spot. Been meaning to try them for ages, and was finally hungry enough on my way home from the cinematheque. Here’s to extraordinary art house cinema followed by extraordinary tacos.

The Al Pastor was ON POINT. It’s rare to find authentic pastor outside of DF and this is IT. As I sat by the parking lot, getting an accidental whiff of gasoline, it was almost like being back in El Defectuoso!!! Carnitas was good too, but the moist kind, rather than the crispy kind I truly love. But the meat was PILED HIGH on both tacos and the salsa bar ample and luscious. Avocado salsa!!! Don’t walk, run.“

“Way better tacos than Leo's tacos. Their chicken tacos were so well marinated and juicy. Their salsas were so flavorful and they were very kind. Please take care of my people here and tip them extra so they stick around for a long time. Oh, and the pastor was dangerously delicious as well. Highly recommend ??“

“I have been going here since I was 15. Now 42. Never a dull moment, food is amazing and consistent, workers are awesome and good at what they serve. Fries are bomb!!! Food is amazing, writing about is making me go back. Okay...I'm driving there now. “

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“super affordable and the best authentic mexican food i’ve ever tasted! better than some big time restaurants. The portions are 10/10 on the burrito i just ordered. Food so good I had to leave a review 5 minutes after i was done eating. best part is that they open late if u want late night mexican food

In the picture here me and my mom ordered one FAT carne asada burrito (i requested no beans) and 2 tacos! They have onions and cilantro, limes, sauces on the side if u want some to go with ur food.

I will be coming here again with all my friends“

“We are from out of state & have family in San Gabriel so whenever we are visiting we look up the Tacos Jalisco truck. We don't have many (if any) food trucks where we are from, and I have been to MX several times and had some real live tacos, and these guys are spot on. I highly recommend!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“I love this place. The food is delish, made with care in their little pop up tent & the prices can't be beat so it's easy to leave them a great tip, which they totally deserve. The pastor & asada are both so excellent that i always want them & haven't tried anything else I like things spicy & they don't scrimp on the heat.??“

“This is one of my favorite taco truck! They serve delicious food at reasonable prices. A hidden gem parked near LA Fitness and CVS on Naomi. They’re open from Tuesdays to Sundays.

I like to order the carne asada tacos, but I also enjoy their nachos, mulitas, and quesadilla. The meat is always tender and flavorful, and their grilled onions are a favorite of mine. They also include freshly sliced cucumbers and radishes on the side. The Rojas sauce is my top pick for its bold flavor and heat, though the Avocado and Verde sauces are excellent too.

Anthony offers wonderful service—super friendly, kind, and always nice to chat with!“

“This taco truck is hands down my favorite spot.
• Lengua: Not diced, but served as a thick slab with the perfect balance of flavor and chew. If the world ended tomorrow, this would be on my last meal list.
• Nachos with everything + carne asada: The asada, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and cheese hit perfectly with the round nacho chips. Add the creamy salsa verde and every bite is on point.
• Pastor: Juicy, consistent, and never dry. Exactly what you want when the late-night munchies hit.

I haven’t made it to the seafood yet because my go-to orders are too good, but I’ve seen people rave about the fish tacos. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Just remember to bring cash for tips. Parking is easy on the street or library during non business hours.“

“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.“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“This is a different taco place than what you may be accustomed to. Here they serve tacos with fillings that are much more humid and juicy than you average taco stand. They serve tacos with Tinga and Cochinita Pibil among other things, but the base is that they are all served with fillings that have been cooking for a looong time! They also have vegetarian options. I gotta say the food is a little pricey for my taste. 4 tacos, 2 drinks, and a tostada were 33$“

“Avenue 26 Taco Stand in Lincoln Heights is a hole-in-the-wall spot that has some of the best tacos in LA. Their al pastor tacos are unbeatable, with perfectly seasoned meat and fresh toppings. The lines can get long, but it’s totally worth the wait. It’s a no-frills joint, but the flavor is out of this world. Definitely a must-try for taco lovers“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“Great tacos and service. My favorite taco stand in Los Angeles. If they could add black beans and green lemons (when I went there were only bay beans and yellow lemons) the business would be absolute perfection. Even without them they are excellent but it would be good to reach an incredible authentic level. May they continue to be successful!“

“I have eaten here 4 different times with different people accompanying me for lunch. Each time my experience has been fantastic. The food, the service, the level of care have all been top notch. I definitely recommend this establishment to others.“

“place to be on Taco Tuesdays“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“excellent food with homemade pressed tortillas“

“Muy amable el personal y la comida muy rica 💯 recomendada 👌🏼“

“Compared to the Altadena location, this spot has better prices, better chips, and better guacamole. The tacos are smaller and the ceviche has bigger servings. The food tastes the same. It’s the best fish taco I’ve had in my life outside of Mexico.“

“Great stand with freshly made corn tortillas, carne asada grilled over coals and a spicy selection of salsas.
Do yourself a favor and try the quesadilla with thick fresh masa toasted on the grill. Everything I’ve had on multiple visits is delicious. The people are lovely. There are a few small tables and chairs on the sidewalk. Foodie explorers: If the wait is too long at Mala Class, come here and give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Woman-owned.“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“Amazing people and amazing food! I come to STOCO in king every month to get me some amazing tacos and I have never been disappointed!“

“Muy rico agradable personal“

“I was just passing through LA to switch Amtrak routes and was delighted to find Juanitas Cafe on Olvera Street. A simple but delicious place to get a hearty torta de choriza with champurrado. So convenient to Union Station but not a bland chain eatery. The owner prepares the food as his grandmother, Juanita, did.“

“I got here by chance on a Saturday night, the parking lot was full and the line was long, so I assumed it was good. I am not lying when I tell you that these are probably the BEST TACOS I’ve ever had in my life. If you want to have the real street food experience in LA, this is absolutely it. Its opened every day from 1PM to 2AM. • Llegué aquí por casualidad un sábado por la noche, el parqueadero estaba lleno y la fila era larga, así que asumí que era bueno. No estoy mintiendo cuando te digo que estos son probablemente los MEJORES TACOS que he probado en mi vida. Si quieres tener la verdadera experiencia de comida callejera en Los Ángeles, esto es. Está abierto todos los días de 1PM a 2AM.“

“The best barbacoa!“

“It was me and my girlfriend’s first time, and the wonderful cashier did not shy away from answering in full detail what her favorite taco was! Needless to say, we knew all the options and left very happy. Fire food and fire drinks. 11/10 would come back.“
