16 Best Taco Restaurants in Pasadena

“Best Tacos I have ever had. No joke. Girlfriend & I stayed in Pasadena for a vacation a few weeks back, ended up getting these 4 nights in a row. I’m not even lying when I tell you this little Taco Truck was potentially the highlight of my entire vacation. God I wish I could have some more.“

“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.“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“Great food. This is one of many stores open in Southern California. The taste of the food is consistent with other locations, so feel free to order your favorites. Parking can be tricky, since there are limited spots and Pasadena is just a congested area.“

“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.“

“We found this place as an only option on a late night, and what a gem!

The owner is so friendly, and they have delicious salsa and pickled onions. You can tell they are made fresh every day. Everything is made with care and it shows. Also very affordable. This is our only spot for birria.“

“I’ve had tacos from St Louis Obispo all the way down to Austin. But nothing surpasses the explosion of flavour from these tacos. From the homemade salsa to the beautifully prepared garnishes there is a true love in this food. It’s incredibly special go get some. Thank you for this incredible culinary experience.“

“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“

“Excellent service, great food, special price !!“

“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!“

“Every taco I tried was just packed with flavor and taste. The cabeza meat was so juicy. The chorizo was killer. The Quesabirria was dynamite. Al pastor.was better than I expected. I love that the tacos came out fast and hot and there is a table of condiments and salsas. You can doctor them up as you like. The fact that you can order them on a plate and eat right there means you can relax and enjoy and go order more if you want. I think Tacos el Pollo just wins a bit more in every category even though there are many other good taco trucks around, this is my favorite. Clear winner.“

“The food is ALWAYS delicious However the ladies that work the register that don’t understand English make it harder than it has to be to order food....other than that any time I’m down in Pasadena (I live in Palmdale) I stop there before coming home Because even if my order is messed up the food is still good“

“Yeah yeah !! Great place, I love how late it’s open-my brother and I went to go grab a bite at past 11. Hit the spot !

Also shout out to the passionate couple behind us trying to swallow each other. Sometimes good food does that.“

“I downloaded the app so I can get the free burrito including my order and I missed the mark by 1 minute of the cutoff time of being able to order online the girl that took my order in the cashier she was so lovely that she actually showed me how to get the code and still gave me my free item even though I didn't pay with the app or online the food was good nice and warm and fresh and the best you could expect from any Taco Bell the Avion serious lovely for a Taco Bell there aren't many graffitis or vandalism or low class hanging outside. You definitely relax and enjoy yourself for a brief moment or just eat in the car and watch the pasture buys enjoying some fiesta cantina menu a freezie or whatever floats your boat!!!“

“Jack in the Box is located at 1415 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena California 91106. Sitting on the corner of Hill and East Colorado Boulevard it is very visible when driving or walking. Open 24 hours a day, it has both sit down and drive-thru service.

Jack in the Box advertised a lot on TV and flyers. There is always a special available. These are very good deals most
of the time. I was surprised at the excellent service that I received when ordering. The staff member explained the different selections and options that were available. I put in my final order and sat and waited for my number to be called. After about 10 minutes I was handed a bag filled with my order and was on my way home. It was a nice day and I enjoyed the walk in this scenic area across from PCC.

When I got home I was able to unpack my carefully wrapped order. I was eager to try the egg rolls first. They were crunchy full of flavor and larger than I had expected. Dipping sauce was not even necessary. The sweet sour sauce did add an extra touch. Two tacos were next on my list. They were thin, individually packed, and tasty.

The Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger was as advertised…great flavor and fresh grilled taste. I was impressed. It did not look like a fast food burger.

The Home Style Ranch Chicken Club had a crisp chicken texture. The chicken filet was thick and filled with flavor. The bacon was crisp and cooked to my specification.

This is a great place with a lot of combinations for food. I like that they paid close attention to the details of each part of my order. I will be back to try some of their other specials.“

“Kevin and I stopped at this Jack in the Box on our way to Chantry Flat for a picnic lunch date, and it ended up being the perfect quick stop!

We placed a mobile order and chose drive-thru pickup, and everything was ready in under 5 minutes. The process was fast, convenient, and seamless ideal when you’re heading out for a day in the mountains.

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, and the customer service was wonderful. This location is right next to the on-ramp, making it incredibly convenient and only about a 4-minute detour from our route.

Even after the drive up to Chantry Flat, our food was still warm, which made for the perfect picnic at the scenic Chantry Flat picnic tables.

If you’re looking for a quick and reliable fast food stop near Chantry Flat or along your route, this Jack in the Box is a fantastic choice.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!“
