50 Best Taco Restaurants near Sierra Madre

“This place is pretty decent. All I really get here are fish and shrimp tacos. And I think those are pretty darn good. If I'm going out on a limb I get a bean and cheese burrito. No fluff, no nonsense, just a burrito to the dome that makes me fart. 🙂 Anyway, I think it serves better food than the other place in Sierra. Madre that's just my opinion. Service is fast and there's some good people working here. So come here eat a fish taco and shut up. Love, me. 🙂😘“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hands down, some of the best Tacos and chilaquiles I’ve had. They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is made to perfection. The hand made tortillas and their freshly made Jamaica are a must try! Also home to the most genuine hardworking staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was looking for a good taco place and I came across Covyd Tacos on Yelp and decided to try them. Unaware that they were just serving on tables under a shade during the evenings, I gave them a try and ordered asada and cabeza burritos. I became a regular after that night and they practically knew me by name. Their burritos are very delicious and their servings are generous. They also had quesadillas, and a variety of tacos. They also have Al Pastor which is really tasty. They do not accept credit cards but they accept Venmo payments. I now miss their tacos and burritos since I was only in La Puente for 5 weeks but would be their customer again if I go back to La Puente, California again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Deliciosos! Con un sabor exquisito!“

“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!“

“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. However, the rice was slightly dry, while the beans were flavorful. Opting for the three taco special was worthwhile, particularly due to the prompt service provided.“

“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.“

“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 ????“

“Hi, I love this spot and have come like 5 times over the last couple of weeks. They have not been on alameda and king, does anyone know if they closed or are at a different spot ? Please reply if you have number of business or know anything“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Small little shack for your mariscos needs.
Shrimp burrito are mid. Every bite is either just beans., or rice or veggies and some shrimp. Not the best place for burritos.
Fish tacos were much better. But portions were small and a ton of coleslaw.“

“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“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“su muy buena atención al público y sus muy buenos ,buenos precios los precios son muy razonables para todas las personas y posibilidades“

“I visited los cuates tacos for the first time, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The tacos were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The salsa was the perfect complement, fresh and with just the right amount of spice. On top of the great food, the customer service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Some of the best tacos and special treats in east LA. There asada nachos and burritos smack. The salsa here the one of the reasons why this place is amazing it’s nice and spicy as it’s suppose to be. Anyone looking to get some good food for a great price come here and try Jason’s tacos they won’t disappoint. Thank you Jason for always keeping the salsa nice and spicy 1# reason I come here is for the amazing salsa“

“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.“

“I love food, one of the best taco truck in the town. It's located in front of the beautiful Arcadia park with plenty of convenient parking spots, picnic tables and benches. So far we tried nacho, beef taco, fi sh taco, asada fries, quesadillas an3d horchata. They were all really good!
My only request is about the way it gets served. While the disposable styrofoam plates are so convenient, it melts! It got melted by the quesadilla and the fries.

Please please put a layer of foil before putting the hot food on the styrofoam plates. I would love to keep coming back if it's safer“

“The tacos here are sooo good. Every time we head home we get off the 5fwy for some tacos first! The service was quick and friendly! I was eating in my car today and gave my daughter my plate and the cooks from a few feet outside asked me if I needed a plate 😊 I was good just eating out of the foil. I tried the tripa, asada, lengua and cabeza. 10/10 with red salsa.“

“Some of the best Tacos I ever had“

“Food is delicious, and the workers are super nice and personable. They also bring water out to my dog on the patio. One of my favorite dog friendly locations. Come one come all. As a man who cooks for a living, i truly appreciate the effort and time they put into it all.“

“Compared to the Altadena location, this spot has better prices, better chips, and better guacamole. The tacos are smaller and the ceviche has bigger servings. The food tastes the same. It’s the best fish taco I’ve had in my life outside of Mexico.“

“Place is literally off the freeway exit so it’s noisy and lots of dust! But don’t let the location fool you!!!! TACOS ARE 9/10-10/10 depending what you like. I tried Asada, Al Pastor, and birria and they were FIRE nice selection of drinks (Agua frescas and sodas) and nice fresh “

“I've been coming here since the mid 90s.. best burgers I've had. Prices went up but you know what, its soooo worth it.. everyone knows me here and they make me feel like family.. that's what I look for in a food joint.. I will always come back here“

“Great stand with freshly made corn tortillas, carne asada grilled over coals and a spicy selection of salsas.
Do yourself a favor and try the quesadilla with thick fresh masa toasted on the grill. Everything I’ve had on multiple visits is delicious. The people are lovely. There are a few small tables and chairs on the sidewalk. Foodie explorers: If the wait is too long at Mala Class, come here and give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Woman-owned.“

“Loved the Taco Burris at this location especially the “lengua”. Late night food stop in Pasadena, California.
One man modified truck stand by the road side on a lot.
Staff were very friendly. Drinks and water sold separately. Community table with friendly people.

Food was delicious, tender and vegetables fresh.

Will definitely stop by again and highly recommend.

Note: bring along wipes and/or soap and water to clean hands.“

“Pretty good tacos. My boyfriend and I enjoy getting the tacos from here because the service is quick and the food is good. We get their tacos de cabeza and de asada. They give salsa, cucumber, radish and lime with their tacos. When you want some reasonable priced quick easy tacos, I recommend you give them a try.“

“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 ..))“

“todo está exquisito los platillos el servicio y todo muy bien preparado“
