17 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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“My son picked it out and it was a great choice ! The tacos were made or order ,crispy on the outside -cheesy and meaty on the inside . We tried combo with 3 quesataco and the cosome was beautiful -flavorful and a hint of spice
Along side it’s a cute chili salsa bar with corn . Oh buddy are we coming back asap“

“They have award winning nachos. Their presentation and service is the best I’ve experienced since visiting Pasadena. I ate here 3 nights in a row. I was very pleased they wore gloves unlike the other pop ups I saw on the same street. Amazing food, good vibes, and great experience. Thank you!“

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

“Muy buena atención y un personal muy atento y muy limpio y deliciosa comida“

“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.“

“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“

“I never thought I’d feel compelled to leave a review for Taco Bell, but this particular location is special. I go here with my wife 3x a week ordering 6-7 items each time and they never mess up our order, they’re never slow, and they’re always friendly. Seems trivial until you spend your hard earned money at a location with disengaged rude staff and get home and realize you’re missing half your order. Jonathan and Veronica in particular exude hospitality and professionalism. And no this review wasn’t solicited, I’m just impressed by how on point these people are 24/7/365.“

“I’ve been coming to this Jack in the Box for probably the last 8 years whenever I need something quick and easy to eat. Honestly, they do their job. 😂 It’s Jack in the Box. You’re probably not coming here expecting some life-changing culinary experience, you’re coming because you want something fast, convenient and reliable.

The food is usually pretty consistent and I’ve never had any major issues with the quality. I will say they occasionally mess up orders, sometimes pretty significantly, so I HIGHLY recommend checking your bag before leaving, especially if you’re going through the drive-thru. I’ve learned that lesson a few times over the years lol.

The employees are usually nice, helpful and friendly, and they do a pretty good job keeping the restaurant and surrounding area clean.

One thing to be aware of is that there are often unhoused people around the property. I’ve occasionally been approached while sitting in the drive-thru, so it’s just something to keep in mind, particularly if you’re coming at night or dining inside.

Overall, it’s a perfectly reliable Jack in the Box. Nothing fancy, nothing particularly amazing, but when I need something quick, I still come back. That probably says enough after 8 years. 😂“

“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!“
