50 Best Taco Restaurants near Temple City

“Pretty typical taco truck, but it's the closest one and the food is always good and in stock. Burritos are my go-to, and I add sour cream. The al pastor tacos are a little sweet for my tastes, so I usually get the suadero and asada. They have bacon wrapped dogs, and nachos using round tostitos and actual nacho pump cheese like at the ballgame.“

“Faster then other jacks were. Girl behind the counter could of used a cup of coffee �. Wake Up Sweetheart. Lol“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“gracias por ayudar a Álex ❤️‍🩹🫂“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“Best Tacos I have ever had. No joke. Girlfriend & I stayed in Pasadena for a vacation a few weeks back, ended up getting these 4 nights in a row. I’m not even lying when I tell you this little Taco Truck was potentially the highlight of my entire vacation. God I wish I could have some more.“

“This little gem has that nostalgic 1950s vibe, only accepting cash. There a couple of tables outside the little shack where they offer crispy bean and cheese burritos that are unbelievably good! Service is. Always with a smile. I also tried crunchy tacos and taquitos which j added cheese to and it was so yummy. There js no satisfaction like a treat from taco treat. Don't forget the hot sauce!“

“Super delicious! I can see what the lines were about. I went Fri and Sat this week and can’t wait to go back next weekend!“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“1st time here! And definitely not the last 🤗 had the Mahi Mahi taco, the shrimp taco and the chorizo taco. All super yum 😋 my daughter also enjoyed her asada fries. Very fast service as well.
Clean bathroom.“

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

“I have been to Off the Hook several times. Each time with different friends and we have always had a good experience. The food is very good and fresh, the portions are reasonable (not too large, not too small) service is courteous.“

“Angelica who works there was a savior! It was our first time ordering at a street taco place and didn’t know the language. She was amazing at explaining things and helped us get the best deal. We ordered a combo of 4 pork tacos and 1 pork ribs - all for $15!“

“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!!!“

“Omg the best wet burrito ever! I got the birria one, super delicious and well packed with flavor and meat! I also ordered the asada quesadilla, very delicious and good amount of meat. And their street tacos just as flavorful! Will definitely be going back.“

“Been meaning to hit this place, but always pass them up. Glad I stopped by, they got some good eats here. Tried the Vamipro with bistec and potato. Nice and crispy hand made tortilla. Potatos were healthy cut pieces and soft. Also had the Guisado sampler and man they are not shy with the servings. I definitely recommend the sampler plate if you are wanting to try the different options of guisados. For this location early is better as they do sell out of items on the early side. They also have restaurant where you can get there goods as well.“

“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.“

“The best Mexican food in maywood .. great service ..got to try green wet burritos are 🔥“

“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.“

“We ate at this restaurant, and the shrimp cocktails are delicious and the fish tacos are super tasty—my kids love them. All the food is made with fresh ingredients, and they even have a special on fish tacos—$1.25 on Tuesdays and Sundays. Highly recommended.“

“I’ve been coming to Taco Boy on Slauson for their taco special that comes with a soda
( it’s my sons favorite) The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to other Mexican restaurants, and the food has always been good. I haven’t tried much of the menu yet, but I also haven’t heard anyone complain about the quality.

One thing to keep in mind is the wait time. Even if you call your order in ahead of time, expect about a 20-minute wait. I’d recommend ordering ahead with that in mind if you’re in a hurry.

My only real criticism is the staffing. The young man working the front is expected to do way too much by himself. He’s taking orders, handling payments, answering the phone, and bringing hot food out to customers dining in. That’s a lot for one person, and it’s not fair to him or to the customers waiting.

This isn’t a complaint about the employee—he works hard. It’s a suggestion for management. Hiring one more person to help at the front would make a huge difference. Service would be faster, the phone could actually be answered more consistently, and the employee wouldn’t have to juggle so many responsibilities at once.

Overall, I’d still recommend Taco Boy for the good food, generous portions, and fair prices. I just hope management gives their hardworking front counter employee the support he deserves.“

“Great food. This is one of many stores open in Southern California. The taste of the food is consistent with other locations, so feel free to order your favorites. Parking can be tricky, since there are limited spots and Pasadena is just a congested area.“

“Saw this place on Instagram it looked good so decided to give it a try had the chilaquiles red sauce eggs sunny side up and chorizo it was tasty sauce was mild and chips were light and crunchy even with the sauce eggs cooked it has inside seating and a small outdoor area place is busy ya its that good.“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

“Excellent grub the food is authentic Tex mex“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“On vacation from Philly and wanted a quick late nite meal. Tacos were well-seasoned and delicious 😋“

“I had the fish and chips dinner it was magnificent it was the best I ever had, and trust me I am not easy to please when it comes to fish and chips I've had a lot of places but none of them have come close to this I would highly recommend this establishment to anybody.
Is there a choices of fish covers everybody's taste selection of choices of fish are unbelievable.
If you want an excellent meal at a reasonable price.
Check it out you won't be disappointed“

“We found this place as an only option on a late night, and what a gem!

The owner is so friendly, and they have delicious salsa and pickled onions. You can tell they are made fresh every day. Everything is made with care and it shows. Also very affordable. This is our only spot for birria.“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“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.“

“Hola buenas tardes, para agradecerles su donativo en especie de las 10 cajas de pañales y las toallitas húmedas, Dios les bendiga grandemente primeramente en sus vidas y en su negocio. Reciban nuestras oraciones desde la Casa de Descanso del Anciano de Poncitlán.“

“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 ..))“

“Trusted spot for some amazing tacos, burritos and whatever else they make because the flavor is magical! Don't miss out, dine in or take out; you'll be happy you did. If you can handle hot spicy, try the red sauce. It's some if the best around. I got some cabeza to make it a great day!“

“Finally tried this place out after driving past it for the nth time. They do $1.50 taco Tuesdays and is parked right next to the Starbucks off Duarte and Rosemead. A bit more difficult to get to if you're coming from east of the intersection due to the median island and no U turn restriction, but damn their food is worth the trouble. Their al pastor is very well seasoned and probably my favorite protein out of all the choices. Tacos come with grilled onions and a piece of potato, with thick cut cucumbers and slices of lime. Nachos are loaded with sauces and burritos are packed with flavors. They have 4 sauces, 2 red and 2 green. The thicker, opague looking ones are the spicier of the 4, while the clearer 2 are the less spicy ones.

Ever since my favorite taco truck at the vons plaza been swarmed with customers for the past couple months on Tuesdays, I've been looking for an alternative. And dare I say it, I think I've found it.“

“5 stars all across. i’ve been to their BG location as well but this one has a late night drive thru.
the appeal of al vapor style tacos is that they’re served VERY hot and minimal on the grease. they go down real easy.
great flavor asada and the salsa bar with all the fixings is kept very clean and has the icy cold temps.

would be great if they offered mexican coke. i’ve only seen the canned.“

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

“I was told about this place from an out of town coworker that has relatives near by. The owner/cook was very hospitable and everything was surprisingly low priced. Tacos were very tasty and well balanced. I would go back definitely. The only thing I didn’t really like was the parking lot cause its entrance is very close to a busy blvd with fast traffic. You have to exit very carefully. I recommend either parking in the back, side street or back in.“

“The food was amazing. We ordered about 14 tacos and two Mexican coke for $35.“

“Visiting Pasadena for a gaming convention and Grabbed some late night Al pastor and also some chicken and potatoes tacos and with their salsas…. It is heaven. Doin’ it right, here in Pasadena at Colorado and Altadena“

“Best tacos de chicharrón in LA“

“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.“

“As others have stated, I believe the tacos are better tasting than Los 7 Carnales. People hyped up that one and said handmade tortillas were great to only be let down when I got a bland tasting taco. I’ve tried most of the meats at el plebe and the food is good and consistent. My go to taco spot along Whittier.“

“Las mejores cemitas y un buen servicio“

“I visit this spot whenever I'm craving delicious, budget-friendly tacos. The parking lot is friendly, with a security guard on-site to ensure safety. Just a heads-up avoid coming during Dodgers games, as it gets really crowded, making parking and wait times longer. The best part? They’re open late into the night, so you can enjoy great tacos anytime.“

“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“

“Deliciosos! Con un sabor exquisito!“

“Amazing taco spot on the corner of the street! The meats are very good and full of flavor, with plenty of options to choose from. Everything is super affordable, and the grilled onions and salsas are top tier. Their horchata is very underrated too—definitely don’t skip it. One of my go-to taco spots, 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“

“Good tacos, good flavor, 1.50 tripa tacos. Don't have parking.“
