50 Best Food Trucks near South El Monte

“I come here a lot with my husband and friends but today was very disappointing. I ordered a torta de asada and was very upset. 5 pieces of black aguacate and half a piece of tomato for the entire torta. Than my husband ordered some tacos and the meat wasn’t seasoned and half of the meat was burned. We are very disappointed we have never been disappointed before this is one of our favorite places to go eat. Today the people working their looked new we paid $37 for our food and are upset.“

“My first visit here was a great experience! The cashier was friendly, which set a positive tone right away. The restaurant has TVs placed around the dining area, so customers can stay entertained while waiting for their food. I also loved that they let you pour your own condiments on the side, adding a nice personal touch. The food was ready in just 10 to 15 minutes, which was impressively quick. Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially their Super Fries—they’re a must-try!👍“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“great churros.. and friendly service“

“This was the first time trying WezzArepas and it did not disappoint! The arepas were perfectly crisp and cheesy with a hint of sweet! The empanada was flavorful with a generous amount of chicken. Lastly, the Salchipapas could easily feed 2 people. It was generously topped with lots of flavorful ingredients. We will def be back!“

“Running into Majano’s Coffee at my son’s school event felt like a little gift from the universe. His lavender latte is hands-down the best I’ve had—smooth, fragrant, and calming in all the right ways.

I didn’t expect him to remember me (I’m usually the one dashing in between meetings), but he did. That small kindness made my day. Now that my mornings are freer, I look forward to making Majano’s a more regular stop after school drop-off.

Great coffee, kind energy, and a mobile setup that makes the ordinary feel special.“

“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“

“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.“

“Love all their Mexican Fusion drinks & especially the sugar free!!! Wide variety, there’s something for everyone ☕️ Plus everyone is very sweet♥️“

“Best churros I’ve ever had! Delicious 😋“

“I'll drive over 30 minutes just to get Sumo TacosThis is a hidden gemthese high-quality ingredients, Their salsas, their beans, their prime meat; it's all tied together into a top-notch flavor experience.Not only is the food good but the services like is like family.sometimes they sell out and pack up early, so call ahead if you're coming from somewhere far off.That's just one of many ways we know sumo tacos are the spot.They deserve a Michelin star the lengths I've driven just to get food here“

“So happy to have found a GOOD TACO spot by home. Good small sized tacos for 2.50 ea. There’s a small wait but good things come those to who wait. I recommend asada and pastor tacos y mulitas. 👌

Oh and no se pasen con los condimentos por favor.“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“Sooo good!! I've been to the food truck multiple times by my house and the donuts are always fresh and delicious! They have a lot of toppings to choose from so there's something for everyone. I would highly recommend coming here if you have a sweet tooth. You won't be disappointed! The service is always good as well. They are always friendly, and fast!“

“We were there Saturday night for my friend's bday. It was during dinner rush hour,the place was very busy so we didn't mind waiting a bit.We sat at the newly built bar,food was excellent! If you want awesome authentic flavors,they can deliver for sure! Very nice atmosphere,the place was inviting, spotless clean and we had an awesome time. If you need a break from boring food,go there for a fiesta of flavors and a nice cold cerveza!“

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

“The food was great!! Their ceviche is cooked with lemon, so it is tasty. Their empanadas are the size of a regular tortilla folded in half, so they are not small. Their large fish tacos are twice the size a regular taco - beware!!! Our order was to go and it was a pleasant surprise to see we weren't missing anything. Their salsas are very good too.

Parking: This is not s restaurant. It us a truck, so you need to drive around snd find parking, but it is worth it!“

“Food always hits here, especially the Al Pastor tacos. Everything is freshly made there with amazing flavor. They have a table with enough condiments to add to the food you get. One time they got my order wrong and gave me 2 asada tacos instead of 2 Al Pastor tacos, they gladly fixed the issue and gave me the 2 Al Pastor tacos that I ordered and I kept the other 2 they gave me at first. I have lived in whittier my whole life and I can say that the food from this food truck is the best from any other food truck I've had.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Strawberries and banana Yummie“

“Good fish taco truck. They also have other seafood options like ceviche and tostadas. Can definitely recommend the fish tacos and shrimp empanadas.

Service was good. Orders can take a while so be patient. There's street parking up and down the block.“

“Great flautas (or taquitos) with so much salsa on them. So good. Super cool area for dinner. They have outdoor seating with pick style benches. They have a giant Connect 4 game too.

This place has great vibes.

Also there's a liquor store next door so I'm not saying BYOB.. but..“

“Delicious chicken nachos, flautas, and chilequiles burritos!“

“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“

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!“

“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.“

“It was my first time at this park. We were there for a birthday party. Considering that there was a baseball game and 4 birthday parties going on, the park was not overcrowded. We had a lovely time.

Playground: There's a paddling pool for toddlers. They really enjoyed the water.
There's also a batting cage and a designated baseball zone. Plus, they have the regular swing sets and the slide.“

“My Family and I LOVEE coming here when we are craving aguachiles, tacos al pastor, and coctel mixto! Everything we’ve tried is soo delicious! We leave satisfied with their food and service every time! If you are around the area, you should definitely give this place a try. ツ“

“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!“

“Comida fresca ,recién hecha!!! Deliciosos platillos de mariscos!!!Gracias“

“Great tacos. I had 9 total. Asada and al pastor we’re the best. I loved the chicken and lengua as well. Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“El Jato has the best soft shrimp tacos in all of east l.a. thier botana is also very good. I would recommend this place to anyine looking for good seafood.“

“I tend to get my tacos to go. Al pastor tacos are bomb. The salsas are pretty good too. I've been a frequent customer, but I also explore other taco spots. Usually pretty quick. Just that where they posted has a lot of activity. No sodas. Just aguas Frescas. Which are decent as well.“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“Tacos Los Carnales is where it's AT!! My family and I keep coming back for more because we couldn't ask for a better meal for about $10 each, depending on what you get! I usually get the vampiros de camarones a la diabla and they are perfect ?? Tastes like a homemade meal with handmade tortillas and delicious salsas, not to mention grilled onions, jalapeños, beans, and consome to self serve. It's a good meal for any occasion! They open after 6 though, so it's only for dinner occasions ? (PS. Ate the vampiros too fast and forgot to take a picture next time!

Vegetarian options: There are plenty of quesadillas and beans to go around! ? There's a veggie burrito as well! I'm pescatarian myself, so I opt for shrimp. But worth a stop for the quality??

Wheelchair accessibility: I have personally seen the staff go above and beyond to help out disabled customers to have the best experience possible! Amazing and considerate staff all around ?“

“Delicious food and great service! Mariscos Linda is a hidden gem in City Terrace. The seafood is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the flavors are amazing—especially the aguachile and shrimp tacos. The staff is friendly and the place has a chill, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!“

“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“
