“Best Carnitas, awesome customer service, very attentive, and very quick. We love coming here to enjoy with our family,Highly Recommend Carnitas El Momo in Monterrey Park!Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Definitely a kid friendly placeWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I eat here every week after climbing at the nearby gym. They are friendly people. BEST cabeza, so juicy. Cabeza Mulitas are amazing especiallywith the green sauce and lime--? perfection! My friends and I usually get cabeza, al pastor, tripas, suadero, among others. Their champurrado seems more authentic than some of the other local taco trucks I've tried. It actually has the corn flour--great for cold weather. They don't have the veggie/sauce bar here, but you can ask for them. Located at the Arcadia Parking lot on Santa Clara and Huntington.“
“Quick and fast taco stands. Now they support the credit card payment. Eric is welcoming and serves the neighborhood very well until the midnight. The protein of stewed pork and the al pastor is nice while I hope they could use corn tortillas instead of the flour ones.“
“This place is a classic. The best bean cheese burritos in town. The fries and tacos are super crispy crunchy and tasty. I’ve been coming here for years. The prices are good the food and service rock. This place has looked and tasted the same for years. Consistently good. Ten out of ten recommend.The parking is a bit challenging but worth it.“
“Bomb bomb bomb ass tacos! So happy we decided to try this place. We ordered a couple fish tacos, a couple shrimp tacos, a papa taco, requeson, and bean taco with an horchata and nothing disappointed. The sauce and the yellow chiles were the cherry on top. I'm glad this place is just a delivery away.“
“Without a doubt the best lunch truck in Cali!! Being a truck driver who has been coming to Cali for 30 years and have visted lunch trucks thru out the state makes me an authority on the subject. So you can believe me when I say they're the best. I've eaten here for over a decade and have never been disappointed once. The team that operates it are also the best. Give it a try. You will definitely not go anywhere else again if you do.“
“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!!!“
“let me tell keep this description short and straight up: fresh handmade corn tortillas, homestyle braised meat, everything you're looking for in a taco There was free parking (a plus) and the service was super FAST! we didn't wait for more than 5 minutes for our food. there's seating indoor and outdoor. The patio was really nice to sit and eat at because they had heaters and it's entirely covered and shaded. Here's what we ordered: -the OG sampler ($10.49) - includes 6 mini tacos of steak picado, bistek en salsa roja, tinga de pollo, mole poblano, chicarron, & cochinita pibil -tinga de pollo (normal sized $3.79) -cochinita pibil (normal sized $3.79) - we got this with a medium spice level but this was SPICY!! I am someone with pretty high spice tolerance and the spice on this got me“
“All I can say is.... WOW!! Come try the food here because it is delicious and FULL of flavor. Usually you expect the same cookie cutter flavor for tacos/burritos/etc but not here. You will find true flavor and quality here. I wasn't the one to pick up our food today but they even tossed in complimentary hot chocolate with our order so I can only imagine how welcoming and friendly the service must be. Would definitely order from again, thank you!“
“Good tacos. Quick service. I tried a variety of their meat options. Was not crazy about the chicharrón but it could be that I prefer chicharrón tacos to have the fried chicharrón, and not the stewed (soft) variety. Overall if you are craving tacos, it is late and you are in the area, this place will not disappoint.“
“This is a gem of a family run restaurant. The specialty is their house-made birria, served in a wide range of dishes. We've tried the quesa birria, the torta de birria, and the amazing birria ramen.The ramen was what drew us to this charming place, and is what keeps us coming back.They have a generous parking lot at the side of the building. They are also wheelchair and mobility scooter accessible.“
“I came in to get a cafe de olla but decided to take the tres leches pancakes Togo I was so glad I did they were delicious, Lorena took my order she was friendly, professional even gave me some fried small gorditas to try , will definitely be back to try their chilaquiles next time..fYI - pancake plate was a great size good to share!! Thank you Lorena !“
“This was a pit stop on the way to the Bay Area from Palm Springs. I’m a veggie and so it was great to see good choices of tacos - potato, cauliflower and brusel sprout here. They were all delicious and of the highest quality but the brussels were a standout. Definitely worth a detour off the freeway!! Service was also the best.“
“i never leave reviews but this has been so wonderful i had to!! all the staff went out of their way to welcome me in. The patio was adorable. The food came out so quickly, and was delicious (and i moved here from texas!) highly recommend :)“
“# 129 Review for 2024 ***A Culinary Journey: Authenticity, Tradition, and Flavor Explosion at Tacos Los Palomos*** Overall 5 Stars***** If there's a sacred haven for taco enthusiasts, Tacos Los Palomos is it. Nestled in East LA, this gem embodies the essence of Mexican street food culture. As a self-proclaimed taco inspector, stumbling upon this treasure was a stroke of luck, unraveling a tapestry of flavors that transported me to the heart of culinary authenticity. What sets these taco trucks apart is their unwavering commitment to tradition. It's not just about tacos; it's a testament to preserving heritage, using time-honored recipes and seasonings that make each bite an homage to Mexican street cuisine. The sheer variety of flavors--Lengua, Buche, Tripa, Suadero, and Cueritos--each bursting with its own distinct taste, left an indelible mark on my taste buds. But let's talk about the salsa, specifically the chipotle; it deserves its own accolades. It's not just a condiment; it's a flavor symphony that elevates every taco to a divine experience. Yet, beyond the culinary prowess, these taco trucks serve as a conduit to nostalgia and cultural roots. They transcend the realm of mere dining; they're gateways to cherished memories and a taste of home. Each bite feels like a reunion with flavors that resonate with a deep sense of belonging. Tacos Los Palomos isn't just a taco truck; it's an emblem of community, tradition, and an odyssey through the rich tapestry of Mexican culinary heritage. In a world where authenticity often gets diluted, this place stands tall as a beacon of genuine flavors and cultural significance. In short, if you seek not just a meal but an expedition into the soul of Mexican street cuisine, Tacos Los Palomos deserves not just five stars but a standing ovation for keeping the flame of tradition alive in every savory taco they serve.“
“I love to come to this taco stand; the service is always prompt and the owners are very kind. The food is absolutely incredible and they usually have an Agua Fresca (horchata most of the time) and it's always delicious as well. They accept cash or zelle!“
“Ordered the Dynamite shrimp. Great flavor with large enough shrimp and good quantity. Came with white rice and cabbage. Added the avocado, I think it's a must.Location was clean, simple and staff was nice. Can't complain about anything. Would go back and try other meals.“
“Decided to check out this place due to its high reviews. We found the owner or front person was very passionate about all the different styles of taco, burritos and nachos. We came in only desiring a snack, but then ending up ordering three meals due to all the choices that sounded so delicious. We really enjoyed their food, and they give you a great amount for the price. The ingredients were really good, and they give you lots of meat. I particularly loved the lengua and tripa (as they cooked it the way I liked it). The reason I give it one less star is the ambience. Its definitely a mom and pops restaurant and the lighting is very dim. Otherwise, the food was good and the prices are great! The owner is so awesome and provides good service too!“
“I had the taco pastor with like a cheesy taco shell onion, cilantro, the works. It was absolutely the best taco I have ever had in my life. They were $3.00 each and worth every single coin. I was off my diet for one day and wanted tacos. Now I am thinking to extend my day off to two days. I bought three tacos and they were so meaty. And the owner was super kind and soft spoken. It is 5am and I wish I had of purchased 10 tacos. They were just that good.“
“I'm very big on customer service and great food and this place has both. A restaurant can have the best food but if their customer service sucks then it's a no go for me. Customer service was really great and the food was fresh and delicious! I highly recommend!Parking: Decent parking lot with plenty of parking.“
“These guys make some of the best tacos in town . I tried the Volcan taco that is delicious their quesadillas . Tacos in general their delicious I highly recommended to all my friends and family already . Also the guys there are very great with people . Their good“
“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“
“I can’t say enough nice things about Teddy and Teddy’s. The food is deliciously fresh and bursts with flavor. Teddy always remembers our daughter when she visits from Boston and welcomes her. Go. You’ll be so happy you did. And do get a red mulita.“
“Food is great from here. It seems like a simple taco stand but it isn't. They are super friendly and try to go as fast as they can to go through the line. Never had a problem with problem even if it is on the street haven't found a problem. The top choices I like to choose are pastor, lengua, and asada. The lengua is different here since it doesn't have that chewiness that other places have and is super tender. The pastor is a gold char and marinate and the asada has a nice flavor from the grill. They have raw onions and some cooked ones if you ask them for it. Definitely one of my go to spots if I want some tacos.“
“High quality meats. Delicious sauces. Friendly service. Plenty of area to hang out. Of all the taco trucks I've tried in the LA area, this has to be in my top 5. The quality is top-notch. For one thing, the beef tongue was a GIGANTIC portion. A little unreal to be honest.“
“I must say, I dont eat birria tacos that much, but this was fantastic. Came here on a Saturday night and there was a line. If theres a line, you have to assume that its pretty decent. Since we were out in the area, we really wanted Chinese food, but this place just kept on calling our name. We got the tacos with cheese and the consume on the side. The tacos were so juicy and flavorful an the cheese was just oozing out of the tacos. The consume was salty and almost like a beef broth. 3 tacos were definitely a decent amount since we also ordered other food from a different restaurant. Like all food trucks, there is no where to sit unless its the sidewalk. They also have a variety of other options like burritos, tortas, and quesadillas if tacos arent your thing. Staff was friendly and everything was made hot and quick. It was so hot that my food was still steaming. Would definitely come back again!“
“Love love love the cucadachaShrimp ....I'm sure I misspelled but all their shrimp are bomb and shrimp cocktails as well. My only complaint is Please UPDATE your online menu .....I ordered for my company and WOW we went off of the listed prices on menu on websiteDefinitely not updated , and increased by 2 to 3 dollars , I understand things are going up but then I as a customer should be able to count on the business to keep me updated on NEW PRICES , because your food is delicious ? people will still pay but kinda unfair to have that surprise when u get the final bill and it's 50 bucks more then calculated from online prices .Just a friendly suggestion, I love to refer people . Also small tacos not worth the price at all“
“What an unexpected delightful surprise! So glad my better half and I came here for dinner. Went to Dollar Tree to pick up some holiday decorations for work. All that browsing through Dollar Tree made us hungry. So pretty much our decisions as we exited the Dollar Tree parking lot were El Pollo Loco, Taco Bell or this place, Birria Masters. We decided we wanted to try something new and went with Birria Masters. We are so glad that we did. So here's the rundown: For ambiance, it's a food stand in a parking lot. Unpretentious, simple tables and benches. Does its job. Don't let it's appearance deter you from going. For service, there were three gentlemen. All were nice and inviting. Excellent customer service. We ordered the enchiladas queretanas and taquitos dorados. Food presentation and taste was unexpected. Both dishes were beautiful. What got me with the dishes is that they were elevated but in an understated way. They used microgreen sprouts. I love sprouts and if a place uses them in their plating, in my opinion, they are fancy fancy and they know what they are doing. The taste of both dishes were delicious as well. The meat was seasoned and cooked well. The produce they use was fresh and again, they used microgreen sprouts. I don't know any other food/taco stand that uses microgreen sprouts...do you? I don't think so. I think that if you are deciding on a place to go and have dinner, please give Birria Masters a try. I hope that when you try their food you will be pleasantly surprised as we were. Birria Masters is definitely a diamond in the rough.“
“The birria taco tastes like love and passion even without the salsa. Also enjoyed the freshly made salsas with the chips. My friend enjoyed the chicharron verde taco. Thank you. Can't wait to come again. Would recommend.Kid-friendliness: Others dined in with their kids.“

Sin duda, un lugar donde la autenticidad se fusiona con la excelencia culinaria. ¡Altamente recomendado para aquellos que buscan no solo una comida excepcional, sino también una experiencia que despierte los sentidos!“
“First time here and we absolutely loved it. The food is very authentic and it feels like I’m at someone’s home eating home cooked food. My 18 month old daughter really liked the quesadilla with birria using a handmade flour tortilla. My husband ordered the torta ahogada and tacos de barbacoa estilo Guadalajara. I ordered two tacos de Carnitas and it was very delicious! The potato filling is soft and plenty. The carnitas are also very flavorful and filling.You can count on us coming back next time we’re in town.“
“Omg!!Ok so I'm going to start with the positive :I LOOOOVE THE MENUDO! My 10 yr old just recently started eating meat and he loooves menudo, so I heard so many good things about hungrys menudo and it def exceeded our expectations .My son said specifically " omg why is it so good, it's better than any menudo I ever had" sooo cute.The to go menudo was enough for he and I to share at home, thank god. Lol.I love the bones and the fatty parts of the pork also, so did my son.The staff was very nice and helpful, we had a big order and I felt bad my sister was asking them for different things but they serviced us with a smile and it was a nice late lunch date as a family. My Nina is a regular which makes it more comfortable to go and relax, enjoy a meal and watch tv. I love the paintings on the wall too.Guac and fries were yummy.My sister said the Philly cheese steak quesadilla was good. There was a mistake on our order and the owner fixed it with no problem and was very kind, thank you!Least liked- -The Diablo shrimp and Baja shrimp tacos were not my fav... I just didn't like the way the shrimp tasted..- also not a fan of the horchata, I'm not sure how it's made but to compare- my fav horchata is from Alberto's lol if that helps. My sister likes the horchata here though .All in all, I will definitely be going back and ordering menudo ahead of time because they do run out quickly, I'm going to order some to go also . That good!!! I swear .Oooo and just to add extra lol- I literally filled up on chips and salsa and ended up not even eating the tacos I ordered...I also had the fries and guac so.. if you go, try to limit yourself on the bomb ass tortilla chips and salsa, the red salsa is my fav.We're going to go back next Sunday. Here's a pic of the menudo we brought home Thank you guys!! Took off 1 star only cuz the shrimp taco tasted off to me . Just an honest review“

“The tacos with queso and nachos were the best. The vampiros and the mulitas were okay. I like that they serve "La Dichosa" with a large cup of consome and 3 different salsas as seen in the picture. The service was really good and I love the little decorations they have. I will definitely be coming back. They also have free coffee“
“Phenomenal food and amazing service!! Ivan was so kind and generous and he made our first time there a really great one. They don't skimp on the meat and the consome is the best! The birria burrito was my favorite and we'll definitely be back for more!“
“My absolute FAVE taco spot in all of LA. Their carne asada is SUPREME. Their al pastor is pretty good, but the carne asada is life-changing. I've tried the other meats, even the Buche and Saudero (I think that's the right word...?), so don't bother - just do al pastor and carne asada. The tacos are small so just order that extra carne asada.It's a cash-only place, and the Vons has ATMs if needed. The workers understand English, and they're all super friendly. The salsa station is always stocked. Be prepared to eat on the trunk of your car - it's totally part of the experience.“
“Finally stopped by this food truck after walking and driving by it for a year or so and I'm glad I did. I'm just sad it took me so long. I had the asada and pollo tacos and they are very yummy. (still eating them as I write this. Lol) I also appreciate the little bag of veggies and the potato they gave me. Not sure if thats usually included, but it was a nice surprise. And the prices are more than fair. Also they two gentlemen working seem really nice. I'm sure I'll be back.“
“Stumbled across this place on my way home. It has good amount of parking and a lot of seating outside to enjoy your food. I had an al pastor burrito and a asada burrito and both were fantastic! Most definitely coming back as the service was very good and the menu was diverse.“
“Mom and Pop store. They gave food to order. Great conversation while you wait, hopefully your not in a rush. The Chicharron is so good. Sold by the pound but can get half. NY daughter absolutely loved the sopes. The tortas are also very good. They have tables in the back. Small liquor store items sold here.“
“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.“
“Speedy service, great prices, phenomenal burritos that'll keep you full for a long time. You can tell it's popular amongst locals because of all the work trucks in the parking lot at lunch.The VARIETY of meats you can get on the burrito is also unmatched, and I strongly urge anyone reading this to get out of their comfort zone and go for a cabeza (beef head) burrito. I was blown away.“
“We’ve been here multipleTimes and each time we leave we are so satisfied. The drinks are amazing, the food is amazing, the staff is so welcoming. I am a huge taco lover and we drive 1.5 hours just to come here. You will not be disappointed.“
“This place make the best burrito of traditional family home make style for burrito...Me and my relatives always come here for dine in and take out also....My mom love the chicken burrito with everything inside of mixing plus no extra salt in it...For myself and my uncle we both love the beef burrito which include everything inside our burritos....The beef was hot n fresh when you eat with the hot chili style sauce....I have try the chicken burrito also and I love it....The owner of this place and worker in this restuarant is so friendly and awesome too...They alway greeting with friendly *hello* n smile ?....the place is neat and clean and alway busy too so depend on the time and the date you swing in for burrito...if you still undecided what to get or order to eat...The owner will recommend it some of their favorite dish too...I have try different dishes and I love it....They make the food like a real Mexican traditional culture of family home make style dish...I would give this restuarant 10 plus stars if the rating can scale it up....But they got my highest *5 stars* rate for it...If you have date or hang out with groups of family members and friends too...You all need to come this place for gathering and enjoy it too...Alway say that is happy good food and happy smile in our face.....heheheheParking: There is plenty of parking and street parking too....have a good meal and smile for life...Wheelchair accessibility: The back door and front door can have wheelchair access into it...bring your whole family to enjoy....“
“Having tried the San Diego location, I was excited to try this location as well. This location had better service and tastier food. Overall the vibe was great. My one disappointment with both locations was that the sauces are so watery. They don't stand up to the tacos much so you cant really taste them. Homestate is a decent place for sure, just a tad on the pricey side“
“I hardly ever consider to even write a review but I knew this place deserved it because of the delicious tacos they served. I got 3 tacos one of each meat they offered, asada, pastor, and pollo. Super tasty, well seasoned, and the best part is you definitely get your money's worth of meat. The taco was loaded with the meat and I was basically full from the 3 tacos. The taco tortilla was a little too soft and soggy for my taste, I prefer a crispier and dryer (not super dry) taco shell. Give the tacos a try!“
“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.“
“I LOVE EL TACO MAN!!! The food is to live for ! It’s delicious!!!! El Taco Man in El Monte is a culinary treasure that deserves every bit of praise it receives. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of authentic Mexican flavors and friendly hospitality. The tostadas, in particular, are an absolute must-try, with their perfect balance of textures and exquisite taste. But don't stop there—explore the entire menu and savor a wide array of mouthwatering dishes. El Taco Man is a true delight for the senses and an experience that will leave you craving more. ?? I will forever eat there ! Yum yum yummy for your tummy“
“Teddy's Taco was really good! My co-worker recommended the Jalapeno taco. So, I ordered one Jalapeno taco, one carne asada street taco, and one barbacoa street taco. All three were good but that blank taco was REALLY GOOD! It has a whole grilled jalapeno, creamy avocado sauce and marinated raisins in the meat. Now, I know what you're thinking but the little hint of sweetness the raisins add just takes this taco over the top and differentiates it from any other taco I've ever had. I wish I had gotten three of those instead of just one but since it was my first time I wanted to try a couple of different things. Next time I go to Teddy's Tacos I will be getting three of those. Delicioso! ???Now, I also tried the Cucumber Margarita and that was pretty good too. They put chamoy and tajin around the rim of the glass, as you can see in the picture. The lady that took my order said that it's a wine based margarita instead of tequila, which is interesting but also makes it not so strong since I had to go back to work. If you're in the area give Teddy's Tacos a try! ?✌?“
“Impressed. We decided to try this spot out which is right off of Peck. We were super impressed with the quality of the meat and the tortillas. They specialize in tacos al vapor. They offer an array of meat like lengua and asada. Plenty of seating inside, and they also offer drive-through takeout. Clean and friendly service. Highly recommend.“
“**Five Stars for Tacos Don Cuco: A Flavor Explosion!**#11 Review for 2024# 432 Review All Time!!This taco stand is an absolute gem! The flavors are sensational - each bite bursts with the perfect blend of seasoned meats and vibrant, zesty toppings. The homemade tortillas are a game-changer; you absolutely must try them with their irresistible Mulitas. And oh, their Pastor with pineapple is simply amazing!On top of the incredible food, the service is quick, the staff is friendly, and the prices are incredibly affordable. For anyone passionate about tacos, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I'm already planning my next trip back - Tacos Don Cuco has won me over completely!“
“Let's dive into a cozy little gem in town, Tacos Ensenada. This spot may seem small at first glance, with only three tables tucked inside, which does make it a bit snug. It's perhaps more suited for grabbing a bite on the go, especially since one of the tables seems more like a spot for waiting on takeout rather than dining in. But don't let that deter you; the charm of this place lies beyond just the seating arrangement.For those taco enthusiasts among us, Tacos Ensenada shines on Taco Tuesday and Taco Thursday, offering tempting deals that are hard to pass up. A personal favorite of mine is the Al Pastor tacos – a flavor-packed choice that's a must-try for anyone visiting.Now, a little tip on parking: it's a bit of a unique setup. I recommend heading over to Memorial Park first, then make your way from East to West to enter the parking area. This little detour might seem like a bit of extra effort, but believe me, the tacos at the end of the journey make it all worthwhile.In essence, Tacos Ensenada is the perfect spot for those looking for delicious tacos without the fuss. It's about the simple pleasure of enjoying good food, even if it means eating it somewhere else. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to give it a try – especially on their special taco days for an extra treat.“
