Food Stands near Pasadena, CA

“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“

“I very much enjoyed my pesto chicken panini sandwich when I visited the Norton Simon Museum. The sandwich was tasty, the service was 5-stars, and the vibe was on-point! I highly recommend grabbing a bite here while visiting this wonderful museum!“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“Very tasty Mediterranean food with a Mexican twist. I tried several of the menu items and never had a bad meal here. Serving portions are big so you may share on most, unless you want it all for yourself 😜. The seating is limited, but still a nice spot for a great lunch.“

“At an unassuming end of an Echo Park parking lot are a pair of massive parasols providing temporary respite from the blaze of the sun; under its shade is a solitary figure pouring over the heat of a sizzling steel plate, sandwiched between two great flames in a solitary act of creation. The place is Alejandra's, and the creation is some of the best quesadillas you can get in LA.

Coming up to the stand, you eye the menu and make your order, $8 dollars each or $10 for a dual topping type. There is potentially a bit of a wait due to every meal being freshly made on order, but it is a good and worthwhile wait, the staff, clientele, and food being most hospitable.

At your order, purple dough is flattened to a blue corn tortilla, each tortilla freshly pressed and grilled in front of you. You watch it sizzle and rise brown, flip over, and continue its cycle to grow crisp.

Topping highlights for me include squash blossoms and pork, which is chicharrones with a surprising crisp and crunch better than almost any other I've had, the ring of each bite echoing autumn leaves crunching under my feet, its condensed jerky flavour hemorrhaging in the still present sweetness of a meat once juicy.

The stand provides a salsa bar with red and green sauces available, and other vegatative essentials- onion, cilantro, and pepper- serve as a lush and fresh forestry for the surprisingly substantial spice of the salsa to lick upon; piled upon the mountain of food and flavour, the green and red splatters evoked the Hollywood Hills, the red salsa smokey and particularly burning like the fires of last year.

It's an addicting taste well worth the visit and short walk to sit and enjoy the meal in Echo Park. I'm excited to come back and try more ingredients for sure, very likely two or three quesadillas at a time to help expedite the process, as it can't be helped.

“SO GOOD! Got the pizza Taiyaki and didn't even know it came with a sauce. If you post a pic of your food and tag them on instagram, they'll give you a free Taiyaki! This was my first time getting a Taiyaki, and it was delicious as heck. The SAUCE was so unexpected so when I dipped my pizza Taiyaki in it, I was like holy moly this is so good??? It reminds me of Mexican salsa. I gotta come back and try their different flavors, probably one of the sweeter ones!“

“I’m a New Yorker who worked for years in a pizzeria, I take my pizza seriously. Elio’s is real pizza! The ingredients, flavor, and variety are why I can’t visit LA without stopping to grab a pie.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“Very unassuming place. It looks modest and you would never guess how phenomenal the food is! Everything is freshly made. Hand cut folded wrapped prepped you got it. Best tacos I've tasted on this side of the border. Seating and parking is limited.“

“There is a lot of neat vendors around me.
Food, artworks, entertainment, you name it and it's probably there.

Unfortunately I need to knock off a star for how crowded it gets and how it suffers from massive price inflation. Be prepared to spend lots of money here. Otherwise, it's a good place to check out especially if you like to window shop.“

“Best tacos ACTUALLY! Family owned and very kind folks. Had 2 carne asada and 1 chicken tacos. The tortillas were fire and the meat sooo delicious. You also get to put your own toppings and they have guac as an option (not as an expensive add on). So yummy!“

“We are from Guadalajara Mexico, they are not good…. They are delicious, the tacos las aguas, the quesadillas, this place is one hundred percent recommended to anyone who knows about Mexican tacos, their tacos are better than many places in Mexico, well served and everything they prepare is very delicious. The large roast quesadilla with tripe is a championship, only for connoisseurs... thank you very much for your service, first time I have eaten tacos outside of Mexico, they are delicious...“

“exelente servicio la comida muy sabrosa😋 aquí encuentra amabilidad y cortecia 😍 🤩“

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

“Tasty Food.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“I've always enjoyed eating here and the guys and ladies that work here have never got my order wrong..until today. But when I took the food back to have the error corrected I was met with a swift resolution, hot delicious tacos and even a free soda for my troubles. This is the spot for great food and great customer service!“

“12/10 service, 12/10 food. 5 stars doesn't even do it justice. If you're on the fence, make the jump!

4100 isn't a typical spot for me on a Sunday, but it definitely will be now that I know Nugtown will be there.

I've worked in the service industry and done local food reviews for 10 years across Detroit, Denver, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. This is one of the standout spots, hands down. That is saying A LOT.

Hand battered chicken, everything made to order, and Mike will let you know exactly what you need without trying to upsell and swindle you.

I take my food, specifically fried chicken, very seriously and there is not one thing that I could suggest to improve. I can't wait to tell everybody!

Thank you, Mike!!“

“Omg, hands down the best tacos in the 626. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share from TJ Tacos to Tacos El Gordo in San Diego and even Taco El Franc. This spot is legit. The line every night says it all.

This time, I ordered the baked potato with cheese and lengua (tongue). Absolute perfection. They serve it with handmade corn tortillas that take everything to another level. The meats here are packed with flavor. My usual go-tos are the al pastor, cabeza (cow’s head meat), and tripas (beef intestine). Next visit, I’m eyeing the sausages, stomach, and carne asada.

And their salsa? To die for. It’s fresh, spicy, and ties everything together perfectly.

The team here is friendly and clearly takes pride in what they do. You can taste the care in every bite.

They’re parked right on San Gabriel Blvd with a solid setup. The ambiance is just right, and honestly, the only thing missing is some outdoor dining space.

Parking is free and easy on the street.“

“Love it so much

Honestly, that’s the only spot I buy food from 2 times a week

I tried everything at this night market and this is the best !

Will stick to FatWolf no matter what 🫡🔥“

“Always great food the best machaca burrito, I've had.“

“unos tacos muy buenos tenía días de ir a probar esos ricos tacos y justo haora fui y muy buenos muy bien atendidos ..con una rapidez para servirle a la gente gracias ((tacos don cuco ..))“

“This place is great! Celebrating over 50 years! Gotta try it!“

“This little stand is so cute. They're just on the corner by the bus stop and their food is pretty good. I had two tacos and fell in love quickly. I bought a burrito to take home for I think, $10? Pretty reasonable considering how big it was. Salsas are self-serve, and there's a table and chair if you'd like to eat it immediately.“

“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.“

“What more can be said. This wonderful restaurant offers some of the best Mexican food in Southern California.
We ordered the torta de asada, taco superior de buche, asada nachos and an esquite.
Every single bite was a wonderful experience.
I added the mango habanero sauce to my torta and it paired so well, it added that sweetness to the torta that elevated the food. The taco was also absolutely amazing.
None of the food was dry or bland, the tortilla was even delicious on its own. I would highly highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite and try the Aguas Fresca too!

Thank you Ixmoto Taqueria for the vibes!“

“A nice place for your food eating and ordering. Trusted and tested my many happy clients.“

“Great tacos and burritos! Rice and beans are very flavorful. Love their asada, lengua and tripa. Just wish they had more salsa options, or at least one that was spicier. If you’re in the area with munchies, recommend you try them out. They take cash, Zelle and Venmo.“

“My daughter and I absolutely love Crepes Hollywood, they take such great care of their customers. They don't just make food, they make art!

Parking: Plenty of parking at the Target

Kid-friendliness: My 10 year old loves this place, the owners are so nice!“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“If I could give more stars I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We recently had Mano Po grill and pop-up for our students at USC, and it was absolutely amazing! The setup was quick and efficient, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Loni and her team were a pleasure to work with. The chicken, pork, and shrimp were delicious and of the highest quality. We were so impressed with the overall experience, and we will definitely be using Mano Po again for future events. Highly recommended!“

“Had the pork gyro, sweet potato and bean salad at Sherman oaks farmers market Sunday. Hands down the best Greek food and farmers market food I’ve had I. Los Angeles. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Cannot wait for next Sunday as I want to get the beef gyro next.“

“Amazing Food! Great Flavor! Great Place To Eat, Highly Recommended! 🌮🌮🌮🍜“

“Un trato muy Amable y Cordial y La Comida Exquisita!!! En Lo Personal a mi me encanta La Torta de Milanesa y Las Mulitas de Carne Asada y Pastor. Los Burritos de Asada con su cebolla asada y Chiles toreados !!!“

“So first of all NOT a fruit smoothie stand. I drove here to grab a smoothie as it is called healthy juices. Picked out my fruit and after a bit was handed a cup full of fruit. She mentioned she needs to change the name, she only has passion fruit and dragon fruit juice which is awesome but not what I expected at all. However, the fruit is ripe and on point. Delicious. Great service and although very disappointed as I couldn't drive away with my drink and I had to sit in my car and eat it which wasn't the point, the fruit was delicious and the variety of fruits was great including jackfruit, dragon fruit and lychee on top of the customary pineapple mango, etc. Will be back when in the mood for a good fruit fruit bowl.“

“Fresh food 100% recommend“

“This spot sells mesquite grilled chicken as a street stall. Prices are reasonable and their seasoning is SO good. Very good street food.

their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite.

Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside.

Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure!

Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

Parking: Near the food4less“

“I had read an article in Conde Nast Traveler about the place so we decided to stop in for a bite. Didn't realize it was "those type of quesadillas", how embarrassing LOL. No worries! Got to meet Gabriella the owner, so nice and invited us to tour the kitchen, even though it was late in the day on New Years Eve. Such a great story with her and family recipes handed down from her grandparents. Worth a stop in! And I imagine calling her in advance she will give you a tour as well...“

“A hidden gem in Boyle Heights. Don’t let the humble appearance of the place fool you, because I actually l found the front yard house set-up quite charming. You’re not going to get your mind blown by the sights or senses, but if you need to satisfy that basic craving for a good pizza with no frills, this is your place. You can get the “home-made” experience for take out so If you’re in the area I recommend stopping by for this one of a kind experience. Street parking only, but I never had any problems finding parking.

Parking: Street parking only. Parking is easier to find in the adjacent residential side of the neighborhood (when you get off the main street)“

“Everything’s so freaking good! Been coming here for years!“

“I just ordered from Dante Fried Chicken Ghost Kitchen in Koreatown, and wow the chicken was beautifully piping hot and incredibly juicy. You can tell they've brined it just right, the buttermilk soak really shines through. Definitely one of the most tender bites of fried chicken I've had. It lives up to its buzz!“

“Had the bowl elote but I should've gotten the Sally's Snack Bar on the cob. The bowl is just too much but eh some ppl might like that. Only 4 stars just cuz of the wait you have to endure other than that he's friendly and would definitely come back!“

“I tried the lemon linguini and it is very delicious. Thank you.“
