Food Stands near San Gabriel, CA

“We came back here after an year and the food still tastes the same, very delicious. The only thing that changed was that they got upgraded to a taco truck and it is called Tacos Los Poblanos. We tried chorizo tacos, Al pastor burrito and chicken Quesadilla. Every thing was on-point and the salsas were excellent. Highly recommend getting their Quesadilla with freshly handmade corn tortilla.“

“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.“

“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!“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“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.“

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

“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 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“

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

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

“Amazing fresh & tasty seafood tacos!!!“

“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!“

“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 ..))“

“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 :)“

“Great taco spot. The food was fresh, flavorful, and you can really taste the quality. The tacos were well prepared and the portions were good. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Definitely a place I would come back to when craving good tacos. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I stumbled upon this family-run marisco joint. Friendly and fast service, they take credit card. Ordered a super mixto ceviche that had every kind of seafod on there, and 2 orders of tacos Dorado, which are deep fried shrimp tacos with sauce and avocados on top. Very delicious! Great for hot summer days“

“(Translated by Google) These tacos are amazing, very good and well served, they make a load of meat and the dog seasoning. Those with cecina with cheese are the most buts and roast and rib.(Original)Estos tacos están pasados de lanza, muy buenos y bien servidos, le hechan un chingo de carne y el sazon perro. Los de cecina con queso son los más peros y asada y costilla.“

“BEST TACOS EVER!!! WIFE AND I USE TOGO TO LA TO GET OUR TACOS. THESE GUYS MAKE EVERYTHING FRESH, EVERYTHING IS HOMADE!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME HERE AND FOLLOW THEM!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“(Translated by Google) Delicious cheap and excellent flavor and fast service the quesatacos and super crispy vampires are delicious Monday-Wednesday to Sunday my little girl calls him takito place his birria tacos fascinate him(Original)Rico barato y exelente sabor y servicio rapido estan ricos los quesatacos y vampiros super crijientes estan lunes -miercoles a domingo ami chabelita le llama takito place le facinan sus tacos de birria“

“Fresh food 100% recommend“

“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.“

“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...“

“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“

“Best birria Ever there service is excellent everything is so good 👌“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“I was recommended to try this place and boy I will forever be grateful for this hint. In LA they're multiple taco stand like this, but this one was by far one of the best one. The salsas where extremely good. Tacos where pack with meat. And, try their volcanoes they're awesome!“

“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!“

“The food here is pretty great. The rib tacos literally include tiny ribs in them and the ribs are amazing.

Any variety of tacos is prepared quickly in front of you. My friends and I didn't try the drinks but they seem great too.

Service was ok, but you don't go to taco trucks for stellar service, let's be honest, haha.

Also, one thing to notice: their location in Google Maps seems to not be their most recent one. Where I saw them was on:

1401 Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90021

Right next to a Starbucks.“

“Un trato muy Amable y Cordial y La Comida Exquisita!!! En Lo Personal a mi me encanta La Torta de Milanesa y Las Mulitas de Carne Asada y Pastor. Los Burritos de Asada con su cebolla asada y Chiles toreados !!!“

“I tried the lemon linguini and it is very delicious. Thank you.“

“I first visited this place five years ago, and it was amazing—one of my favorite taco spots in L.A. I’d been wanting to try it again, and recently, while visiting SoCal, I had the chance to stop by. While it’s still pretty good, it doesn’t quite feel like it used to. The tacos are smaller now, as is the trend with most places in L.A. I’m not sure what happened, but I’m guessing one of the main tortilla distributors started making them smaller, promoting it as a selling point so that trucks don’t have to use as much meat and ingredients. What surprised me here, though, is that the tortillas are handmade and yet they started making them smaller. I still enjoy them—they really are the closest thing to a Tijuana-style taco. The flavor is excellent, and the guacamole is fantastic! All in all, it is still worth it to make the drive because where else can you get handmade tortillas and thick, gloppy guac? Here!“

“A hidden gem in Boyle Heights. Don’t let the humble appearance of the place fool you, because I actually l found the front yard house set-up quite charming. You’re not going to get your mind blown by the sights or senses, but if you need to satisfy that basic craving for a good pizza with no frills, this is your place. You can get the “home-made” experience for take out so If you’re in the area I recommend stopping by for this one of a kind experience. Street parking only, but I never had any problems finding parking.

Parking: Street parking only. Parking is easier to find in the adjacent residential side of the neighborhood (when you get off the main street)“

“Short Stop Pizza - Thanks a lot !This is the number one dining place I can think of for the best places to eat any meal of the day.They have an excellent variety of food as well as accommodating servers who always put their customer's needs first.“

“location and excellent customer service“
