Taco Restaurants near South El Monte

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

“The portion sizes are pretty great for their prices, despite me thinking they'd be small from photos lol. Our party of three had enough leftover for at least 3 more servings tbh, the tacos & tostadas are big.

Though there was a slight wait (we ordered 2 tostadas, 1 serving of taquitos [2], 1 burrito, & 3 tacos), the customer service was swift and kind. The flavor of the food wasn't anything insane, but I liked it just fine and they let you have as many salsa as you want. They don't skimp on cheese and the other toppings.

I'd definitely recommend coming here even outside of their special pricing on Mondays and Tuesdays!“

“Every time you walk into this restaurant, the vibe is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is always fresh and full of energy thanks to the music one visit might be old school hip-hop and R&B, the next you’ll hear country, Banda, or even modern pop and house. It keeps things exciting and makes every experience feel unique.
But the real star here? The specialty tacos. Hands down, some of the best in Southern California. They’re packed with flavor, made with care, and honestly set a new standard for what tacos should taste like. The quality is consistent, and no matter what you order, you’re going to be impressed.
On top of that, the pricing is unbeatable for SoCal. You get top-tier food and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back without breaking the bank. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the vibe, but this restaurant does it effortlessly.
If you’re looking for a spot that combines amazing food, unbeatable tacos, and an always-fun atmosphere, this is it.“

“Hands down, the best taco truck in Pasadena! Established in 1979, Los California Tacos has perfected the art of tacos with their flavorful, fresh, and non-greasy offerings. The service is friendly and fast, making it a go-to spot for taco enthusiasts. Their al pastor and chicken tacos are particularly popular among regulars. Don't miss out on this local favorite!“

“My Pastor and Asada tacos and my Vampiro, they were serve with the grilled green onion and a roasted serrano pepper. The salsas were also very tasty

The flavor and the quantity of meat was great and delicious.

I would come here anytime I'm in Lynwood.

This family owned spot make this a great family food stop.

Enjoy!“

“Came across this place after looking for another spot and I have to say I was NOT disappointed! I had the pastor, buche, lengua, and cabeza tacos and it was absolutely delicious! Usually when I have buche, lengua and cabeza it always tastes gamy but I don’t like to avoid trying new ones and I’m so glad I didn’t avoid it from here!! I had 7 tacos for $17! Really good for the amount you get!

“Omg the best wet burrito ever got the Verde sauce and it was spicy I've been looking for the perfect wet burrito and this was amazing 👏 all I needed was some rice and horchata to make it a perfect meal but the burrito itself was perfect I'll be going there from now on to buy my wet burritos. My long time craving for wet burrito was satisfied to the fullest.“
