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!“

“What a gem...hands down the best elotes l've ever had!! The corn man is super nice and super fast at pumping out Elote via cob or bowl. There was probably 20+ people ahead of me with multiple orders but it only took 25 minutes to get through since he's so efficient. It can be so amazingly rich and heavy for some folks but this is what you're coming for! A guilty pleasure ruminating in cheese, mayo and liquid butter and corn. I prefer the bowl over the cob since it's much easier to eat. I also recommend getting two at once so u don't have to wait in line again and it's so cheap. 100% recommend!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious, cooked fresh and everything you want in a snack. There’s lots of savory and sweet options- I went with a ham and cheese one and a mixed berry cream cheese one. It looks like they have new and limited flavor options rotated out regularly. Paying is cash or Venmo only, but was very inexpensive. It took about 10 mins, and there’s some picnic tables nearby with cute little birds to keep you company while you wait.

It was cooked perfectly, melty and piping hot on the inside, and crispy on the outside, with a mildly sweet and crispy shell. Absolute perfection! A great way to grab a quick snack and take a short break while shopping. I definitely will be back.“

“It's a street stand, so as far as atmosphere goes, it's what one would expect from a street vendor (no seating available). However, Alejandra's quesadillas are by far the best I've ever had in Los Angeles. And I'm from Mexico City.“

“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!“

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

“Mediterranean-Mexican mix. You order at the windows and can sit at outside tables, if there's room. It's the standard LA Mexican choices like, tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, but with main meats and sides from Middle Eastern street food, like kabob and hummus.“

“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.“

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

“Incredible grilled cheese sandwich! I attended LA Food Bowl NIGHT MARKET and they had a booth there. The cheese was amazing, sharp and pungent, just how I like it. The bread is great and soaks up the cheese juices perfectly. It's very rich, I had to split a grilled cheese with my buddy. Overall a great experience!“

“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.“

“I would definitely visit their booth at Coachella! I love Taco Bell but I'm a vegeterian.“

“I had a brisket burrito and a few tripas tacos. I can't lie, both were pretty good and the price wasn't ridiculous. Tripas are easy to mess up but they make them right over there. The Molcajete salsa was also on point. I will definitely return.“

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

“So so so good. Reminded me of street tacos I’d get in Mexico. The guy running the stall is a beast too! Ran through those orders masterfully. Plus they have a great condiments section with fresh salsas and veggies that you can dress up your tacos with. If you’re vegetarian you can also get the potatoes with cheese and add nopales :)“

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

“Amazing fresh & tasty seafood tacos!!!“

“Tasty Food.“

“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!!“

“This is a convenient taco stand, especially if you’re coming from or heading to the Metro station right across the street.

The tacos were good, and they have a self-serve salsa bar. Everyone working there was nice.

I paid $26 for six tacos and a large horchata.“

“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!“

“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...“

“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 ..))“

Parking: Plenty of parking at the Target

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

“The moment the lady brought my tacos to the table, I got butterflies. The handmade tortillas and beautiful garnishes looked so appetizing, and the flavors were just as good as they looked.

The prices are great, and the whole experience felt authentic and welcoming. This is definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to whenever they’re open and I’m in the area.“

“phenomenal meats and veggies grilled to perfection. this place hits it out of the park everytime!! love the octopus, pork and potato salad. Best stand at farmers market ever!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“carnitas abel is the best #1 tacos and salsa 👍😋🤗there yummy delicious ,when they are open i reccomend to go buy as many tacos as you want👍👍,there that good &delicious“

“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“

“Me encantaron bueno a mi familia les gusto las de chicharrón revueltas loroco y queso muy deliciosas el curtido muy rico 😋 la salcita picosita muy ricas se las recomiendo y me las vinieron a dejar a mi casa 👍🏼 a la hora que acordamos calientitas solo para comerlas“

“Great little hole in the wall seafood stand! We tried the aguachile, ceviche mitotero, and tacos al gobernador. All were delicious and fresh! The aguachile and tacos gobernador were our favorites. Aguachile was soo good. Hit the spot, great lime spice flavor. Tacos were fresh and hot with shrimp and melted cheese. Cash or Zelle payment. Two little tables to eat at. Will be back!“

“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!“

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

“Entrance fee was like 8 dollars, not too bad but still. Their parking lot was confusing because the paint was faded and the people directing traffic to the lot weren't doing very much. Good amount of food stalls. There was some live performances but stopped around 2 hours before it closed. Overall was fun“
