About Tacos el amigo

Tacos El Amigo is a street stand in the valley offering amazing and delicious Mexican food. The ambiance includes outdoor eating, either at a few tables or from your car, and a to-go option. It is considered a hidden gem and the real deal for authentic street tacos. The tortillas are made by hand, pressed fresh right in front of you, and are warm, slightly crisp on the edges, and soft in the center. Portions are generous and everything is made to order, coming out hot and fresh.

The meat is flavorful, juicy, seasoned perfectly, and of great quality. The **asada** has a perfect texture, not too chewy, fatty, or dry. The **al pastor** is top tier, melts in your mouth, and includes slices of pineapple. A specific highlight is the **pastor tacos on Wednesdays**, which are a special price. Customers can pick their meat and choose their own toppings buffet-style from two tables offering salsas and toppings. The green salsa is especially noted. Another table offers amazing **Agua fresca** options, and an **horchata** drink is recommended. Other menu items include a huge and shareable **torta de asada** and a huge **cheese quesadilla**.

Prices are reasonable and worth it, with tacos priced at $3 each. The service is fast, friendly, pleasant, kind, and welcoming. The overall experience is consistently great, with no gimmicks, just great food done right. It is a must-visit spot for anyone craving legit tacos in the Valley.
