14 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!!!“

“On our recent trip to California, we got to to eat and drink at amazing restaurants & bars. One of them was Guisados in Pasadena. It was a great experience with exceptional tacos as well as house made Sangria !! We had fish tacos, chicken tacos as well pork - all were delicious, freshly prepared with tortillas being made from scratch. The restaurant has limited inside seating but a great outdoor patio. Staff are friendly, helpful and with big smiles !!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“First time here. I just wanted a quick bite to eat before work so I ordered 3 carne asada tacos.
Staff was super friendly and welcoming.
Music wasn’t too loud and the place was super clean. I felt relaxed eating there and the tacos hit the spot. Will be back again.“

“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!!!“
