I ordered the champurrado. It had a dead moth in it. As I went to drink it, I thought maybe it was a piece of cinnamon stick. Nope. I looked closer and it was a dead moth. Disgusting!!!

I would recommend the suadero and carne asada. The carne asada is grilled over an open flame, much better than most brick and mortar stores. Tortillas are home made, made right as you order. They open around 5 PM and usually go past midnight. No cash? They take Venmo and Zelle.

My nephew-in-law has been raving about this place, "they even have $1 taco Tuesdays and the line is around the corner before they're even open!" More importantly, he really emphasized on how good they are! Hubbers, Cuzzo (+ kids) and I found ourselves close enough on a random Sunday night, so we decided to make a stop. Hubbers decided to just get 2 of a few things (to make things less complicated) and while waiting for grub, Cuzzo and I started packing and sealing sauces and sides. We get home and boy, that's a lotta stuff! I let everyone else get ahead of it and take their picks. By the time I got to it, there was only the al pastor and carne asada left. No biggie! VERDICT: Above average, sure, but (I know... there's a "but") I've had better - of both carne asada and al pastor. I felt they were missing a bit of an "umph", maybe? FOOD: 3.5. SERVICE: 3. VALUE: 5. I believe at $2/pop?? Worth it! PARKING: Street only. After all, they're street vendors! OVERALL: 3.75. I will return because unlike all them other street taco vendors I've experienced lately, I didn't really get to pick what I wanted. I may be able to make a better assessment then...

$1 taco Tuesday and homemade tortillas - what else is there to say?? I am so surprised that $1 taco Tuesday is still a thing especially in this inflationary environment. The wait is long-ish to order and get the food on Tuesdays, so we typically order 2 meals worth of tacos (about 20). They heat up nicely in the toaster oven the next day. My favorite meats to get is the tripa, asada, and suadero. Their salsa bar is the best and they've also got grilled onions! On non-Tuesdays, we like getting their tortas. The smoky smell of grilled meats will permeate your clothes and hair while you wait, so wear things that you can wash immediately (kinda like after going to AYCE kbbq). Open Tues - Sunday. I know they say their hours start at 5:30pm...but I've gone that early before and sometimes they are not there or not ready to serve yet. 6pm is probably safer. Payment options: Cash, zelle, or venmo

@tacoselbanquetazo is the best! My Wife and I live nearby, and after seeing food stands/trucks on Prairie Avenue and RBB decided to walk over for dinner. We each got a burrito, she got the asada and I got the pastor. They have a huge table of condiments to choose from (cilantro/onions, cucumber, pico de gallo, marinated onion) The burritos were fabulous, and there were 3 varieties of salsa (avocado,green tomatillo and a red )the avocado was medium and the heat increased the the above order I definitely recommend trying.. The except numerous types of payment, Zelle/Paypal/Venmo and T-Sun 6-11:30 (parking limited on Prairie)

Taco Tuesday at this spot is an absolute must-try, especially for their unbeatable $1 deal! Be sure to arrive by 6pm to dodge the long lines - it's totally worth it. The suadero tacos are the star of the show, tantalizingly delicious. And a pro tip: don't miss out on the grilled onions and jalapeños at the front, they're the perfect finishing touch!

Homemade fresh corn tortillas, freshly grilled meats, and a salsa bar right next to Alondra Park. I suggest the tripa and pastor. Grab some churros while you wait.

One Dollar Tacos on Tuesday makes it a super Happy Taco Tuesday!This taco stand is on Prairie Ave, nearest the corner of Redondo Beach Blvd. Parking is not so easy unless you're willing to walk for your meal. We ended up parking over halfway between Redondo Beach Blvd and Manhattan Beach Blvd. My husband was driving by this place late at night one Tuesday about a month ago and stopped to bring some tacos home for us. He told me the tacos were a buck each! The tacos were really good because it was quite a late dinner/bedtime snack! He brought home a bunch of condiments, too!Well, I just got back from two weeks in CO, and we were up for some tacos. Especially $1 tacos, so we set off to join the masses that were already in line. Although there were a lot of people in line and waiting, the process went quickly enough and was smooth. Tacos are $2 at their regular price, which is still a great deal! They sell Burritos, Tortas, Papa Rellena, Alambre, Quesadillas, etc. The meats they have are Al Pastor, Asada, Pollo, Cabeza, Buche, Tripa, Chorizo, and Suadero. The drinks you can get are Horchata, Jamaica, Limonada, Pina, Naranja, and Sodas.Their condiments station is loaded with pretty much anything you'd find at a restaurant! You fill the cups or bags yourself. They have cilantro & onions, pickled habanero & onions, cucumbers, avocado salsa, red salsa, pico de gallo, and lemon wedges Be sure to go near the grill so you can grab some grilled onions and jalapeños!We took our food home. It seemed simpler. They have about 10 stools to sit on, but there are no tables. I need a place to set my food and condiments on.You can pay digitally via Zelle, Venmo, or Paypal. I'm not sure if they accept Credit Cards since they take those other types of payments. We paid with cash.They are CLOSED ON MONDAYS. They are open TUES-SUN from 5:30PM to 12:00 Midnight. You can follow them at Tacos El Banquetazo on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok.With efficient service, excellent food, all the condiments you'd need, and affordability, how could anyone not like this place?!? We'll be back!
