50 Best Taco Restaurants near Monrovia

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Fantastic. Delightful. Yummy. We had their carne asada burritos, carne asada taco and el pastor taco. Everything was so flavorful. I was craving carne asada, but great carne asada not the bland stuff you find at most places. They city we live in DOES NOT have a single place that satisfies our taco and burritos craving. We found this place by chance and it did not disappoint. Trust the 5 star reviews. They're telling the truth. Although this is a 30-40 minute drive from home, we will gladly make the drive for this food. Oh and the horchata is the best!“

“Love this taco truck! Staff is very friendly. Food is delicious. They're posted everyday except mondays :/ open till late. Salsas are delicious, rice is good. Tacos, quesadillas, hot dogs, carne asada nachos and fries. Flautitas are my favorite.“

“Tacos Ensenada is our go to place on Taco Tuesday!!! They offer BOGO fish tacos, Baja Style. Each taco comes dressed with cabbage, pico de gallo, salsa and crema. They have a nice salsa bar that offers chile gueros, lemons, marinated onion etc. Their green and red salsas are fine too. They always offer a a good portion of fried fish and the batter is not too thick. It has a lot of flavor and for the value you get on Tuesday, you cannot beat it. The restaurant is always kept clean but sometimes the tables inside need a quick wipe. The ladies at the register are always so nice, very helpful. This is a must for the area when in need of a good fish taco!“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“The shrimp and crawfish is very good.“

“This was the first time Going to this location. I bought 2 burgers, fries and 2 ice teas. My Mother and I were very pleased. The drive-tru employees were very friendly and efficient. It was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely return when in the neighborhood of Duarte. Thank you to Jack in the box employees for giving us such wonderful service.“

“I’ve been to this location several times over the past 3 years. Most recently the drive thru lady in the afternoons is GREAT! So friendly, fast and efficient!! I think her name may be Ereidi, based on my receipt. I just want to give her positive recognition that she deserves.“

“Today the sauce it was sooooooo bad 👎 sooooo horrible sooooo nasty this sauce supposed be special sauce for the burritos 🌯 they did something different that test sooooo nasty 😤 please go back to the regular flavor or you better close down because it's horrible!!!!!!“

“1st time here! And definitely not the last 🤗 had the Mahi Mahi taco, the shrimp taco and the chorizo taco. All super yum 😋 my daughter also enjoyed her asada fries. Very fast service as well.
Clean bathroom.“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“I got a fever and there's only one cure...Taco Lita Burrito with Taco Lita hot sauce“

“Hands down, some of the best Tacos and chilaquiles I’ve had. They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is made to perfection. The hand made tortillas and their freshly made Jamaica are a must try! Also home to the most genuine hardworking staff.“

“Saw this place on Instagram it looked good so decided to give it a try had the chilaquiles red sauce eggs sunny side up and chorizo it was tasty sauce was mild and chips were light and crunchy even with the sauce eggs cooked it has inside seating and a small outdoor area place is busy ya its that good.“

“Ordered at the front and took about 10-15 minutes for the food to come out.

Asada taco - $2.50 - they are pretty generous with the meat! They’ll give you red and green sauce. You can ask for both!

Shrimp taco - $3.00 - pretty good! Its not shrimp, but more of a shrimp patty? You can taste the pieces of shrimp when you bite into it as well!

Fish taco- $3.00 - theres more batter for fish - luckily the toppings help balance the oil from the fried batter. The size of the fish when i ordered to eat there was big. The one i ordered to-go was smaller. I was a bit disappointed at first but the flavor didn’t change. I asked for sauce to go as well.

Horchata - cant go wrong with it! They have regular or large!

Parking: limited! Street parking is available!“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“Seafood paella was slightly over cooked, as it seems they were going for that patina baked look, as it looks great, but was 3/4 rice, green beans, and tomato slivers. The amont of seafood was under portioned, for a $40 dish.

Pina colada was average tasing, with great clothes on!

Chips and salsa were great, muy picante!“

“Deliciosos! Con un sabor exquisito!“

“The birria was amazing! The quesatacos with consome were delicious. My friends got a beef birria quesadilla which they immediately ordered a second one. My other friend got a beef birria Ramen which he loved. Overall everyone was super pleased. The service was great and I would totally come back again.“

“I was looking for a good taco place and I came across Covyd Tacos on Yelp and decided to try them. Unaware that they were just serving on tables under a shade during the evenings, I gave them a try and ordered asada and cabeza burritos. I became a regular after that night and they practically knew me by name. Their burritos are very delicious and their servings are generous. They also had quesadillas, and a variety of tacos. They also have Al Pastor which is really tasty. They do not accept credit cards but they accept Venmo payments. I now miss their tacos and burritos since I was only in La Puente for 5 weeks but would be their customer again if I go back to La Puente, California again.“

“On vacation from Philly and wanted a quick late nite meal. Tacos were well-seasoned and delicious 😋“

“I've been coming here since the mid 90s.. best burgers I've had. Prices went up but you know what, its soooo worth it.. everyone knows me here and they make me feel like family.. that's what I look for in a food joint.. I will always come back here“

“Pretty typical taco truck, but it's the closest one and the food is always good and in stock. Burritos are my go-to, and I add sour cream. The al pastor tacos are a little sweet for my tastes, so I usually get the suadero and asada. They have bacon wrapped dogs, and nachos using round tostitos and actual nacho pump cheese like at the ballgame.“

“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!“

“Best tacos de chicharrón in LA“

“Visiting Pasadena for a gaming convention and Grabbed some late night Al pastor and also some chicken and potatoes tacos and with their salsas…. It is heaven. Doin’ it right, here in Pasadena at Colorado and Altadena“

“Wonderful and helpful staff! Frances notcied me sitting outside and offered to bring a water. It was unexpected, above and beyond. Great healthy options too. Will definitely be back. Grub Hub is a helpful way to discover good eats in the area. I appreciate that they have indoor and outdoor seating and even booths. So glad I stopped by!“

“Hola buenas tardes, para agradecerles su donativo en especie de las 10 cajas de pañales y las toallitas húmedas, Dios les bendiga grandemente primeramente en sus vidas y en su negocio. Reciban nuestras oraciones desde la Casa de Descanso del Anciano de Poncitlán.“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“Solid Hispanic food truck with great price ($2 taco and $10 burrito as of March 2026). Only inconsistency would be the chef — depending on who’s cooking the amount of meat for burrito varies. Can customize order and choose your own condiments(cilantro, avocado sauce, green chili, red chili, onion, lime/lemon wedges, etc..).“

“Some of the best tacos and special treats in east LA. There asada nachos and burritos smack. The salsa here the one of the reasons why this place is amazing it’s nice and spicy as it’s suppose to be. Anyone looking to get some good food for a great price come here and try Jason’s tacos they won’t disappoint. Thank you Jason for always keeping the salsa nice and spicy 1# reason I come here is for the amazing salsa“

“recently stopped by Rambos Tacos in Baldwin Park and ordered a chorizo burrito to go, and I have to say, this place exceeded my expectations.

From the moment I walked in, I noticed how clean and well-maintained the restaurant was. The dining area, counter, and overall atmosphere showed that the staff takes pride in keeping the place welcoming and comfortable for customers.

What really stood out was the service. Both employees working were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to answer questions about the menu and made me feel like a valued customer rather than just another order. As a gringo who works in communities like these, I know it isn't always easy walking into a new place, so being welcomed with such genuine kindness means a lot to me. I truly appreciated how comfortable and respected they made me feel. That kind of hospitality is becoming rare, and it made a great first impression.

Now for the food—the chorizo burrito was outstanding. The chorizo was packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite had a great balance of ingredients, and the burrito was generously sized without sacrificing quality. You can tell they care about what they serve.

The salsa deserves special recognition because it was absolutely fire. It had the perfect combination of freshness, flavor, and heat that elevated the entire meal. It wasn't just an afterthought on the side—it was the kind of salsa that keeps you coming back for more.

What makes Rambos Tacos special is the combination of excellent food, genuine customer service, and attention to detail. It's the type of local spot that feels like a hidden gem, where the staff cares about the customer experience and the food speaks for itself. Baldwin Park is lucky to have a place like this.

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Rambos Tacos. I'll definitely be back for another chorizo burrito and plenty more of that amazing salsa.“

“5 stars all across. i’ve been to their BG location as well but this one has a late night drive thru.
the appeal of al vapor style tacos is that they’re served VERY hot and minimal on the grease. they go down real easy.
great flavor asada and the salsa bar with all the fixings is kept very clean and has the icy cold temps.

would be great if they offered mexican coke. i’ve only seen the canned.“

“The support from our community, friends, students and our friendly staff.“

“Ohh god!! DELICIOUS!!! place was recommended by my coworker... The service is really good the carne asada nacho is the BOMB n they not cheap with their portion and the carne asada is really gooooood... DEFINITELY COMING BACK AND RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FRIENDS“

“First timer. Had Fish tacos which were very very good. Chicken Quesadilla was also delicious. Definitely a place that we will come back to. Lots of things on the menu that I need to try.“

“We came back here after an year and the food still tastes the same, very delicious. The only thing that changed was that they got upgraded to a taco truck and it is called Tacos Los Poblanos. We tried chorizo tacos, Al pastor burrito and chicken Quesadilla. Every thing was on-point and the salsas were excellent. Highly recommend getting their Quesadilla with freshly handmade corn tortilla.“

“Place is literally off the freeway exit so it’s noisy and lots of dust! But don’t let the location fool you!!!! TACOS ARE 9/10-10/10 depending what you like. I tried Asada, Al Pastor, and birria and they were FIRE nice selection of drinks (Agua frescas and sodas) and nice fresh “

“When you visiting the area stop by for amazing tacos, we had the tripa, asada, cabeza tacos, pastor quesadilla and sincronizada, everything was delicious, the staff were very friendly, they are from Oaxaca and Veracruz means the taste is real Mexican style. They are parked on the street and the park area is safe.“

“Good place“

“Finely chopped carne. Greasy quesadillas. Watered down guacamole. Flavorless salsa. And when you ask for "no beans" in your burrito, you get a tiny burrito instead of adding extra rice like most other places would. Overall, it's not a bad spot at all. I wouldn't be upset if I were to go again. But in an area with LOTS of very good food, I would try something else next time.“

“If you haven’t yet tried this locations go especially when they have deals cuz who doesn’t like a good deals great food the people are great customers is amazing and easy to order absolutely recommend. Everything in the menu will not disappoint.“

“The texture the taste and quality was good I had the Birria tacos I will not choose the toasted Tortillas anymore because they where a bit too burned. The price was fair fair enough to align with the quality. I give this place a good recommendation. 👍“

“BEST BURRITO IVE EVER HAD! Wow. Seriously. It takes a lot for me to leave a review. But I'm sitting here eating this burrito and it is probably the best burrito I've ever had. Perfect size (long not overly thick like some places do where every bite is hard to take) taste is spot on. The a la cart options out front allow me to add my toppings to each bite as I want. And this yellow sauce is PERFECT HEAT and FLAVOR. A+ GUYS.“

“The taquitos were some of the best I have had perfect crunch and not cheap with the meat. The carne asada tacos were great but the mahi mahi was underwhelming. The tortillas were a little too soft breaking and blowing out with the bites. Salsa was great no complaints there. Overall very good.“

“I have driven past this place for years skeptical of the seafood at a small stand, but boy was I proven wrong! So glad the location I was going to was closed because the nearest seafood was Mariscos el Zurdo. I saw they had 7 mares, so we said let's give it a try. Luckily we found parking in the small lot they share & found a table to eat because it sure got full & people waiting on a table.
I am kicking myself for having missed out on the delicious fish taco, shrimp hard shell taco, & agua chile tostada, all these years, but I will sure make up for it. The soup wasn't the best 7 mares i've had, but it was a big hearty bowl with crab legs that my soothed my mom's craving.
I am looking forward to head that way & stop to try other items along with that aguachile tostada 😋“

“The food was great. They took our order fast and the food was out shortly. The food itself was really delicious. We tried the birria tacos al vapor and the kesabirria with consomé. The consomé had great flavor. We also had the chicken tacos and they were soft and toddler approved:)“
