The lengua was hard. And 5 bucks for a soda is insane.

🍤 Review: Taco Boy Maywood, CA – A Must-Try for Authentic Mexican & Seafood!
If you're in the Maywood area and craving authentic Mexican food, you absolutely need to stop by Taco Boy. This spot is a local favorite, known for its no-frills, fast service, and fantastic, flavorful food.

The Seafood Star: Shrimp Cocktail (Cóctel de Camarón)
My visit was truly highlighted by the Shrimp Cocktail (Cóctel de Camarón), and I can say without a doubt that it was delicious! It’s the perfect blend of chilled, succulent shrimp, fresh vegetables (like onions, tomatoes, and cilantro), and that tangy, refreshing tomato-based sauce. If you're looking for a standout seafood dish that hits all the right notes, this is the one to order.

More Menu Favorites
While the seafood is great, Taco Boy is also a powerhouse for all the Mexican staples. They specialize in a wide variety of authentic dishes, including:

Tacos & Burritos: With a choice of proteins like Carne Asada, Pollo (Chicken), Al Pastor, Tripa, Cabeza, Barbacoa, and more.

Plates & Combos: You can find classic meals like Carne Asada Plate, Chile Verde Plate, and hearty soups like Caldo de Res and Caldo de Camarón.

Other Seafood: Beyond the cocktail, they offer other seafood options like Tostada de Ceviche de Camarón and Mojarra Frita (Fried Fish).

They're well-known for generous portions (though some reviews suggest side portions of rice and beans can be small) and the great, simple, and flavorful preparation of their meats. They also offer vegetarian and gluten-free options.
