50 Best Taco Restaurants near San Gabriel

“super affordable and the best authentic mexican food i’ve ever tasted! better than some big time restaurants. The portions are 10/10 on the burrito i just ordered. Food so good I had to leave a review 5 minutes after i was done eating. best part is that they open late if u want late night mexican food

In the picture here me and my mom ordered one FAT carne asada burrito (i requested no beans) and 2 tacos! They have onions and cilantro, limes, sauces on the side if u want some to go with ur food.

I will be coming here again with all my friends“

“We are from out of state & have family in San Gabriel so whenever we are visiting we look up the Tacos Jalisco truck. We don't have many (if any) food trucks where we are from, and I have been to MX several times and had some real live tacos, and these guys are spot on. I highly recommend!“

“These tacos were recommended and Should I say I am thankful I took the recommendation. The Al pastor tacos were delicious. Suadero tacos are good as well. The cabeza tacos are not bad at all. I need to try the rest. I will be back. Prices are very decent especially for the food you pay for. I strongly suggest these tacos.“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“BEST BURRITO IVE EVER HAD! Wow. Seriously. It takes a lot for me to leave a review. But I'm sitting here eating this burrito and it is probably the best burrito I've ever had. Perfect size (long not overly thick like some places do where every bite is hard to take) taste is spot on. The a la cart options out front allow me to add my toppings to each bite as I want. And this yellow sauce is PERFECT HEAT and FLAVOR. A+ GUYS.“

“I stopped by this taco truck after my usual taco stand wasn’t open—and I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered the buche, carnitas, pastor, and cabeza tacos. The carnitas and cabeza were the best—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

I also had the carne asada fries, which were hearty and satisfying. The guacamole in the carne asada fries is seriously addictive, and their salsa, along with the pickled jalapeños and red onions, added a fresh, tangy kick.

At $2.50 per taco, the prices are reasonable for the quality. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“Stopped by for the first today and the service was good and the food came out fairly quick. The Quesabirra tacos were amazing! The consume has a little bit of a kick but was very flavorful. The tinga and asada taco we're just ok. Nothing to write home about but we will be going back just to get more of those Quesabirra. I definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“good service nice workers“

“The best tacos in California!“

“This amazing taco stand is set up in a parking lot with plenty of parking, making it super convenient. There are four organized stations: one for tacos, one for other items, plus a drink station and a salsa bar.

The meat was incredibly flavorful, and they serve it with onions, a grilled pepper, and a small potato. After trying several taco storefronts in the area, this stand easily tops the list.

A must-visit for taco lovers looking for great flavor. Four tacos was $11. No seating but you can sit in your car.“

“The best tacos in LA - can't skip the vampiro (crunchy tortilla shell, cheese, and loaded with choice of meat.) The Cabeza is my favorite - so juicy and flavorful.

So worth the drive and wait, and they loaded the tacos w/ meat. If you are starving, def try the Angel's potatoes - a cheesy loaded potato with tortillas on the side!“

“With very few words to be able to do JUSTICE to a dish capable of being compared to The Mona Lisa or The Ifel Tower, it seems to me that today we could PROUDLY say that we have discovered the 8th. Culinary Wonder of the World, in none other than PICO RIVERA.

TaqueArte is definitely EXQUISITE!!!“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“This place really surprised me! Great food and vibes. I’m a student at PCC and pass it frequently.

Decided to pop in for a night, and maaaan I’ve been thinking about it since! I got the Mahi tacos and the hibiscus margarita! SOOO GOOOOD!!!! And the staff is also super friendly.

They also offer a student discount, which is really awesome for someone like myself!!!

Definitely worth a frequent visit if you’re a student or a local!“

“My go-to taco truck in the area. It’s in a small lot but there’s free and metered parking on the street. Fast, friendly service. Street tacos are small but filling. Cash only. Meat is well cooked and the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend. Enjoy.“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“Excellent customer service and our first experience was fantastic. We tried the fried bean and cheese burrito, green chile burrito and the fries all were perfect. Best fried burrito. Thank you for an awesome first experience. We will be back.“

“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!“

“The Mog Champ sends his regards.

My spree of meals in the market continue with Tacos Tumbras! We ordered their all meat burritos with a Jamaica and Tamarindo. The portion and filling on them burritos is absolutely generous and delicious.

The service was quick and friendly, their drinks were also very refreshing. They're definitely worth it to stop by if you're in the area for a burrito! Thanks for the breakfast Tacos Tumbras!

Mogliest Regards,
Your Mog Champ“

“I lived in Boyle Heights for like my entire life and I finally came across this place and honestly WOW!
I ordered the chilaquiles (GREEN ALL THE WAY! ) and I also got a pink ice latte. This joint didn’t disappoint, I wanted to share this place because it deserves the recognition if you guys wanna check out my Tik tok: @nathalysplanet <333
I came back again with my sister and we got the same thing and it hit the spot! Gonna bring all the girlies to this joint ???????“

“This place was honestly so good, the vibes were great, I came craving a good late night iced coffee and tried the horchata coffee and it was so delicious 🤤 the prices are very reasonable and overall the food was good too everything tasted fresh.“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“Came across this place after looking for another spot and I have to say I was NOT disappointed! I had the pastor, buche, lengua, and cabeza tacos and it was absolutely delicious! Usually when I have buche, lengua and cabeza it always tastes gamy but I don’t like to avoid trying new ones and I’m so glad I didn’t avoid it from here!! I had 7 tacos for $17! Really good for the amount you get!

Parking: Street parking or park in a lot or gas station nearby“

“Happy“

“Quick. Delicious. Affordable. Ample outside seating.

I needed a quick lunch fix and found this local spot with great reviews. I got the flautas and asada tacos. Both were delicious and fresh. Prices were good too. Will be back.“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“definitivamente muy sabrosos los tacos los mire en tic toc y dije que cuando fuera a las angeles iría con mi familia a probarlos y la verdad quedamos fascinados,,,no entiendo como muchas loncheras o restaurantes venden Tacos de cabeza muy caros pero además de caros malicimos,,,la verdad se los recomiendo,,,,o y lleguen temprano porque se acaban muy rápido.“

“I'll be honest the atmosphere is not good yet if you wish to taste an authentic Mexican dish ex taco, burrito etc with hand made tortillas and great quality of meats and vegetables this is the place to go. And moreover the prices are cheap. I'm definitely coming back.!😁“

“Good place for tacos ?, especially love their lengua tacos--the meat is a big slice of tongue instead of diced up. This shop is open late so good for folks that have late meals. They are also located next to a parking lot so no problem finding parking. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.“

“Amazing Fish Tacos are served here! I've been eating here for years and still great as ever. The fish tacos are probably what I recommend the most but their nachos, and other sea food options are just as great. The staff is kind and very efficient. Despite a small kitchen and tight location, they are very fast when fulfilling orders.

Parking: Parking is a bit tricky here, the entrance of the parking lot is on the right side of the restaurant towards the back with at max 10 parking spots available. There's street parking as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: I recommend parking at the front of the restaurant on the side of the street for closer parking. You can park towards the back, but its a further walking distance.“

“I went yesterday for the first time with my kids.
My parents invited me, since they said they had been there before and know i love tacos/tortas/etc.
The kids and i loved it.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kids lollipops after.“

“Place is a good place to eat some Mexican food. Tacos and burritos (asada) were good and were made quickly barely had to wait to get my food. As a first time customer coming here, I was not disappointed with the food and service. Only thing I would complain (not really a complaint) is the front desk/where you order food. Menu is a bit awkward to see.“

“The best Mexican food in maywood .. great service ..got to try green wet burritos are 🔥“

“The support from our community, friends, students and our friendly staff.“

“This is one of my favorite taco truck! They serve delicious food at reasonable prices. A hidden gem parked near LA Fitness and CVS on Naomi. They’re open from Tuesdays to Sundays.

I like to order the carne asada tacos, but I also enjoy their nachos, mulitas, and quesadilla. The meat is always tender and flavorful, and their grilled onions are a favorite of mine. They also include freshly sliced cucumbers and radishes on the side. The Rojas sauce is my top pick for its bold flavor and heat, though the Avocado and Verde sauces are excellent too.

Anthony offers wonderful service—super friendly, kind, and always nice to chat with!“

“This place does tacos and specialty tacos. I ordered the potato tacos which were 2 for $7.50 at the time of this posting. They came fried which was already wonderful but the presentation was amazing and put it over the top. Wish I would've took a photo before eating them. Anyways, I can easily say most people who order this will not be disappointed bc the flavor is in point“

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.

I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.

There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.

I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Great Tacos, and great environment. Clear sign helps if you’re new to Tacos and service with a smile.

A great kick to the meat leaving a lasting flavor.

Make sure you get at least one chorizo taco!

Loads of parking in Vons and usually a great soundtrack as well.“

“The tacos, al pastor and carne de asada, were satisfactory. However, the rice was a little dry, while the beans were tasty. Opting for the three-taco specialty was worth it, especially due to the fast service provided.The tacos, both al pastor and asada, were satisfactory.

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“excellent food with homemade pressed tortillas“

“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!!!“

“Outside dining or indoor sports bar like atmosphere. It's a nice little place near uptown Whittier. Fried Basa combined with the butter sauce was extremely delicious. Nothing beats a beer and fish n chips. Lobster taco wasnt really the type of lobster i expected, but i mainly came for the fish n chips“

“Tacos go craaaaaaazy. I fear, once you go vapor tacos you never go back.

Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had.
The meat was cooked to perfection and chopped up very well.

The salsa bar fire ? cucumbers, limes, radish

Loved both green and red which is rare. Usually green salsa is superior but here you’re left drenching both.

Coming back for sure

**pictured is asada tacos ????“

“I got a fever and there's only one cure...Taco Lita Burrito with Taco Lita hot sauce“

“Tiny drive-thru joint with surprisingly great tacos and burritos. The carne asada is flavorful and juicy every time. Super quick service and friendly people. I stop by here instead of Taco Bell or Del Taco — it’s way better. Great prices and solid late-night option. Salsa has a good kick too“

“First timer. Had Fish tacos which were very very good. Chicken Quesadilla was also delicious. Definitely a place that we will come back to. Lots of things on the menu that I need to try.“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“
