The food was better than average int terms of ingredients and preparation. Service was not great, slow and inattentive. Just a takeout place with a small dining room, so not much to speak of in terms of atmosphere. Inflated California prices of course.

The tacos were some of the worst tacos I ever had. They chicken was very dry and hard, pastor and asada were dry and over cooked. Tacos only came with one tortillas, they don’t even give you a back up tortilla for the meat that falls out. 3/10

We were looking for a restaurant to get breakfast and decided to try Taco Libre. It was great. 2 of us had chiliquiles and 2 had huevos rancheros..Both were very good. The chiliquiles had scrambled eggs on top and were made with homemade tortillas. The red and green sauces were both good. We ate every bite.

It’s a hit or miss!
The food quality here is too unpredictable. Sometimes it’s great, but other times I end up throwing it away. After my last visit, I’ve decided not to come back. The asada meat was so bad that I’m done paying high prices for such inconsistency.

I’m born and raised in Pasadena, and my family has been here for many generations. Taco Libre has only been here since 2018. I’ve been supporting their restaurant since they opened. I work from home at Savvys and other cafes in the area, and I just got back home in town after working out of state on a gig. Recently, I needed to use the restroom. They don’t have one, and instead of understanding, they had the nerve to get an attitude with me for using the one next door, even though I am a frequent customer, mind you I have been supporting them since they opened and have spent hundreds with this spot. I am extremely disappointed because this shows there’s really no sense of community within my community. I have been here long before their establishment and generations of my family have lived here. My family, my friends, people from this city, my church. I’m deeply rooted and connected here in Pasadena. It’s my home, and when I try to support newer establishments in my community, they always seem to disappoint. We all own property here, some of it is not gone in Altadena as well. I hate when restaurants open in Pasadena and have no sense of community, like they’re just here for who they are here for and to sell to us and make money off of us. Complaining about me using the restroom as if I haven’t been here is gross and disrespectful, a nasty attitude doesn't get too far especially when it's directed towards me, I am not the one. I will no longer be supporting them. This attitude is crazy, We fought for civil rights for this type of behavior, and it’s unacceptable.

Great little taco spot! Super quick and easy to grab a few tacos, with larger plate options if you so desire. We stopped by here for their Taco Tuesday special and even though I only had 3 tacos, I felt so full afterwards! I had two soft shell tacos - chicken and asade, and one crispy shell - potato (which I definitely recommend). You can order with some extra toppings, and they also have a mini salsa bar with onions and cilantro to add at your leisure. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A fun lively vibe, with colorful walls and decoration. This place is hidden within an alley between Colorado and Green Street in Pasadena. Food came out quickly; hot and fresh. We ordered from a screen but there was also a person to take orders as well. I would love to go back and try their nachos. Great experience!

I wanted something quick and delicious after my trip to Burke Williams in Pasadena and this was the perfect spot. I had one beef and one chicken crispy taco and they were amazing. The mild green salsa was absolutely perfect!

Full self-service not great for the expensive price they have…tipped 18% by mistake. For the service and price they charge, I expect at least good plates, real glasses and non-plastic cutlery..Can’t complain about the taste tho, can definitely improve on portion/meat sizes
