Food Stands near Santa Fe Springs, CA

“In Santa Fe Springs, there's a hidden gem known as the Swap Meet. Once a Drive-In Theater, it's now transformed into a vibrant hub for family fun and shopping adventures. From household essentials to unique treasures, you'll find everything under the sun here. The food options are top-notch, the live music adds to the atmosphere, and there's even a fun zone for the kids to enjoy. I highly recommend paying a visit—you won't be disappointed!“

“Best $2.00 I spent all year. Where can you eat, drink, listen to music and buy pretty much anything all in one spot? Let me tell you, it's the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet.Parking sucks unless you park way in the back in the off site lot and enter thru the back entrance. Most of the vendors are permanently stationed in their own space here. Plenty of fresh fruit, bakery items, candy, clothes, shoes, hats. They sell animals and an abundance of random things. I purchased some Croc charms at a $1.00 each, bulk candy bags at 3 for $10.00. I found a new hat and some things I didn't need.There is live music on weekends. The Doors cover band was what caught my attention. Pretty cool place to relax, get exercise and enjoy the sun.Food and drinks can be expensive.“

“Everything we tried here is beyond delicious and we tried almost everything on the menu! I wish I had more stomach space because the flavor is top notch. The Bulgogi taco is different from anything I've ever tried but the meat just melts in your mouth! The asada and pollo were delicious but the al pastor, shrimp and birria tacos were the stars of the show for us! Perfect flavor combinations and definitely not your average taco- and this is coming from a Mexicana lol. The service is also amazing. The guys are ready to serve with a friendly smile and offer suggestions. The space is clean and offers ample seating. Overall we loved it here and will definitely be back next time we're in the area!“

“We are from Brazil and happened to find this amazing spot in LA. Absolutely worth the wait. We suggest that you try both corn in the cup and in the spike. I’m pretty sure we will have dreams about it. Super tasty, soft and crunchy at the same time… thank you, Corn Man!“

“Hands down, the best, best birria tacos I've ever had!!I've been eyeing this taco truck for the longest time when I was looking for birria tacos. I missed the chance to go from the last time I came by. Many other taco vendors also recommend this truck for goat birria tacos.We got some goat birria quesatacos, labio taco dorados, which were lips, asada vampiro, and of course, gotta get consome. Not many places have goat birria, and most of the time, they tend to be too dry. Those quesatacos were super tender, juicy, cheesy, and packed with tons of spices and flavors. Dipping in the beefy, hardy consome, game over. I've never seen beef lips before, so I gotta give a try. It got the texture of beef tongue, also quite delicious. Like any other taco trucks and vendors, service is always impeccable. Everyone is very friendly and supportive to other vendors. I said it once, and I'm gonna say it again. The best birria tacos!!!“

“I went to Tirzah’s for the first time today and I have been wanting to come for years! Don’t wait! Go now! It was very delicious! I got the LA burrito and my friend got the chili relleno burrito and she said it was awesome! The chili relleno is a Friday only burrito just fyi. I can’t wait to go again and try something from the Mediterranean part of the menu.“

“Vegetarian options: No vegan or vegetarian options here. It's all about the meat!! Mulitas, tacos, tortas and more!Parking: Parking is limited to the street and it is always busy.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the sidewalk so you could say it is handicap accessible.“

“Everything Made Fresh, The carnitas & chicharrones are my fave? Everything is Delicious Y las Micheladas Sheeesh ?? mouth watering Good??, An Those fresh warm frijolitos refritos with them tortillas hechas a mano ?? i can go on With all the Great food they Have Highly “

“I found this new BBQ pop-up in Lakewood at the YMCA and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the kindness of the family that runs it, to the delicious food. Last week I had the 3 meat plate (I chose brisket, pork belly and chicken) which came with 2 sides and it was only $28! The brisket and pork belly were SO tender and juicy and had an amazing flavor! Earlier today I had the one meat plate with chicken, this coleslaw that is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and their brisket chow mein. So good! Everything is homemade down to the sauces and they have things like burritos and Texas toast brisket grilled cheese. It’s called Axiom Kitchen. Husband, wife and kids and so kind…they made us feel so special. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. I know they are at the Lakewood YMCA on Sundays and I think Fridays and they are at another location on Thursday but I’m not sure where.“

“Did Poke2 and this spot is DEFINITELY NOT AS GOOD AS THE 1 IN DOWNEY! The veggie portions where laughable. Asking 50 cent for extra stuff. When they wanted to give so little. Tuna was good but service was to busy wanting to get back on there phones to make sure we were taken care of. Definitely will try other places but will drive to Downey to get our Poke.“

“I've been going around L.A. looking for the best birria and believe me, we finally hit the spot. Not only is it delicious but also has great customer service. As a fellow entrepreneur/business owner, I can easily say, they're doing great. Stop by and try a taco, maybe 2, hey, why not the birria plate if you're really hungry!“

“Food 11/10 and the Service 1000/10!!We are a german couple on vacation in LA. We saw the Cena in the Internet and went for it. We had no Internet and couldn‘t Order so we were staying outside and didn‘t know what to do. Then This beautiful Lady appears, got us in and made us super delicious food. She was wonderful Friendly and helpfull. THANKS AGAIN!!“

“Best tacos al Vapor, estilo Jalisco never disappoint me. Super clean meat no fat or nerve. Super safe for small kids since meat melts in your mouth easily.Kid-friendliness: Super soft meat with no bones or hard Meats easi for kids to bite and swallow“

“Bomb Tacos Burritos and Tortas you name it super filled with charbroiled meat over filled I might say all kinds of toppings fresh refreshers you can find them on the very corner called Vanessa's Tijuana Tacos give them a try you will love it just as much as my family did“

“Friendly staff and amazing food quality. You could taste how fresh the seafood was! I was beyond happy with their service and their prices aren't bad compared to other mariscos restaurants I've been to with worse food quality. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants that homestyle mariscos flavor & experience.P.s. Cash Only , be prepared.“

“Best. Taco. Stand. Ever. Hands down the most delicious tacos in LA. Full of meat and a great price at $2 each! As well as taco Tuesday deals. Unheard of. The avocado salsa is the best. Nachos and quesadillas are great too. Come here 2-3 a week for months now. Everyone is super nice and they have a big, organized team that can handle a crowd. It’s consistently busy but we’re always in and out quick. Definitely recommend! ?⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Top tier tacos!!! Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. I got pescado, camarones, and carne asada and all three were the bomb. Definitely stopping any time I’m in the area. Some of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet too. Mad love!!!“

“First time in southern California ( landed in LAX) was driving down to San Diego for a job and really wanted to try some tacos. And found this golden gem on the way. Nice people, amazing tacos ( that remind you of Mexico) highly recommend to try it!“

“Delicious and authentic Nayarit style tacos de cochinito al horno. Nice chunks of delicious pork on a tortilla with a delicious mustard sauce that compliment the tacos very well. They taste just as good as ordering them at the plaza in Acaponeta. Definitely recommend it, and I love how the roasted pig sits on display as the chunks of meat are taken from its delicious body.“

“3.5 stars. i was driving home on a Sunday night at around 1800 and saw this spot as I was headed towards the highway. Driving through Hunting Park really makes you hungry for Mexican food...:) Stopped and got 4 different tacos. The extra stuff you can add to your tacos are awesome. The grilled onions, the charro beans, the pickled onions, the radishes, the cucumber, and I think there was maybe two other things. Then there's 3 salsas and lime to top it all off. It's a lot. My tacos were loaded. I also got a pineapple fresca. I honestly think I loaded too much on my tacos and couldn't taste the meat as much. I got the pastor, chorizo, buche, and something else-it was sirloin steak. All of it's not bad but I liked the chorizo the most. There's maybe four other meats. Again, I think I overloaded my tacos and should def go back give this place another shot. But this is a cool spot for street tacos. Total cost was $12 though, which is a little pricey.“

“We were looking for a late night snack, and this place hit the spot! I ordered the pastor and cabeza tacos for to go with no cilantro, onions only. My two tacos were wrapped and kept warm in a foil package.When I got back, I realized they gave me chorizo and buche, and a lot of cilantro. I removed the cilantro, not a big deal. The chorizo, at least I think it was chorizo, wasn't too dry and it was flavorful. There were also chunks of fat (?) in it. The buche was salty...and tasted like buche. I liked their salsas and felt it complemented the meats well.Unfortunately I didn't get either of the meats I wanted to try. At $2.50 per taco, I guess I'll just have to go back to order them again.“

“Literally the best taco stand in Whittier ! Everything they have is delicious !!!! The meat is juicy and full of flavor. I either get a Torta de asada con todo or a burrito de asada con todo! FYI They are also super generous and stuff the tacos, tortas and burritos with meat ! So it's perfect for sharing with someone else If you are thinking about coming here... don't think twice lol I 100% recommend this spot !! They also super nice !!! The young guy and the older man are very sweet and welcoming.“

“Absolutely adore this gem! Discovered it on TikTok, and it exceeded my expectations. Impeccable and swift customer service. The tostadas de deshebrada were a delightful experience - perfectly proportioned, reasonably priced, and the juicy shredded meat was seasoned to perfection. Fresh toppings elevated the dish. This stand has a good range of hours but I still managed to get there near closing. Regret not trying the enchiladas during my late visit, but I'm eagerly planning a return for that treat.“

“This place freaking hits the spot Come here is you want really well executed korean-mexican fusion. I always love seeing different restaurants take on the cuisine as a Hispanic fan of Korean food and I dont think i've seen a place hit all the notes while remaining super down-to-earth for one their porkbelly is texturally PERFECT. super soft, and crispy I'm already craving it as I'm writing it. So get anything that has it, especially the fries It has the perfect blend of sweet and saltiness. this place also has the rare combo of being a good casual quick bite during the day. they have easily the best teriyaki bowl in all of OC heck probably ever, none of the teriyaki I've had even in Seattle has been as good. Oh and the owners are awesome! super kind people. this place has it all.“
