Came on a Saturday evening with my partner. The space isn't too large, but it's spacious, clean, and comfortable. I purchased the BOGO-free al pastor tacos, steak bowls, and a free churro ice cream. **WARNING:** I have not eaten at Chipotle in YEARS, so I don't have a taco bowl from there to compare this to. Keep that in mind when reading my review! FOOD **Steak Bowl:** Personally, I really enjoyed the steak bowl. The meat is tender and has a really nice tangy, spiced flavor. The toppings feel more elevated compared to Chipotle, with esquites, fresh vegetables (including cucumber), guacomole, and Peruvian beans. The rice was also well seasoned. I agree that the price is on the higher side, but I like to mix it with additional salad at home to stretch it into two meals, and that works for me! Their green and red salsas are also both really good. **Al Pastor Pork Taco:** I'm not going to lie--price-wise, this one is kind of crazy. Almost $12 for ONE taco is A LOT. But there is a TON of meat and a really nice chunk of cheese. It's quite tasty and filling, and since they have other lower-cost taco options, those might be a better choice if you're watching your budget. I also really want to highlight the **chips**. They did leave a slightly oily feeling in my mouth, but in terms of flavor, they are SO good! Imagine the crispy part of a French fry, but in the size and shape of a chip. It's exactly like that! The salsa that comes with the taco is a creamy chili sauce, and it's also super tasty. **Churro Short Serve Ice Cream:** It is like an extra cinnamony horchata flavor! It comes with a cookie that taste like a slightly less cinnamony biscoft. Super tasty! Texture is similar to a frozen yogurt! So a little icy but i like it! SERVICE The service is 5 stars. Everyone was so nice and really seemed to anticipate ways to make the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. And I'm a sucker for good customer service, so even if the prices are on the higher side, I would come back every once in a while to support them and have a nice meal. OVERALL I would come back! Maybe not super often because of the prices, but I'd definitely keep this place in mind when I'm craving a good steak bowl or tacos.
We got a birria bowl and a poblano bowl. Both full of flavor! The bowls are packed to the brim. Tried the red salsa & habanero, both were great. The lady at the front counter was really helpful and kind. We were greeted by all of the team the moment we walked in. Very clean inside and good music playing. Will definitely be back.
We were a little hesitant to try this place due to the poor reviews but my sister had a coupon for it so we decided to try it! We are vegetarian so we only had one bowl and one taco option and couldn't have the beef tallow chips. Al, who seemed like the owner, was a little rusty on the ordering machine but the 2 other cashiers and servers were great! The food was so good! Highly recommend the parlando pepper taco. The tortilla was incredible and the baked on sauce and cheese added to the deliciousness. The filling was great too. This could be the best veggie taco I've had! The bowl was very large...we split 2 amongst 3 of us and still had leftover. We got one worh peruvian beans and 1 with black. The portions are generous. It was also presented beautifully. Only recommendation would be to have a veggie protein we could add to the bowl or taco.
Love their new menu and prices. Well done. Meat and taste are quality. Food is fresh and full of robust flavors. Service is good. Great staff, managers, and owners. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and ambiance. Love their design and decor. I will return for a 4th visit.
Realistically a 3.5. Prices have come down drastically since opening. Currently cheaper than other fast food options. Iberico pork could use more seasoning, but skirt steak is delicious. Meals feel significantly healthier than a Chipotle option. The picture of the nachos do not do justice of how large it actually is. And 1000% worth it on Mondays when its only 5 dollars or 10 dollars with a meat option. If you're on the way home and you're passing by, absolutely stop and pick up some nachos on the way. This business is trying, it would be nice to see some more reviews of this place to see how everyone likes it.
We will definitely be back for taco Tuesday! They have really yummy tacos and the quality is there!
For a freshly opened restaurant the service was good, and the ambiance inside is clean. The food is decent, but could use some tweaking on portions for the price. I got the bowls using a BOGO coupon they sent out in the mail. Total was ~$18, so in this case 9$ per bowl, so not bad this time around. As someone who frequents places in LA like Leo's Tacos, I'm not excited with the flavor and texture of the al pastor, and the meat portion of the bowl is small for 18$ normally, with the meat borderline hidden underneath some of these other toppings. It's nice plating and I appreciate the variety of ingredients, but I'd expect the meat to be where any Mexican restaurant let's their skills and flavors shine. The sauces all seem to be original flavors and house-made and I really enjoyed those, especially the green one. If the meat portions and flavors are tweaked I'd be happy to get this bowl again. I was also similarly shocked when I saw other reviews talking about the $10 per taco. Not even in the most vibey-silverlake attempts at reinterpreting Mexican cuisine would I entertain $7 a taco, let alone $10. I really miss the Taco Man near Euclid before they relocated to Upland since I think they had their flavors and saudes down to a science. For tacos in this area, I usually stick to Tacos El Juanito near Cardenas and the 60. Pure flavor and none of the fuss. Angel's Tijuana Tacos is also not too far over in Riverside, so the competition for flavor is fierce. Would love the option for cheap, flavorful street tacos here at AQ, too, especially since this plaza serves so many of the nearby suburbs. It sounds like the other reviewers are also looking for a good place to support, but I don't see myself settling for a place just because it's closeby.
If you're in the mood for great taco's chill environment in this heat. You definitely want to try this spot. They just came out with new pricing so I'm going to make this spot one of my routine treats. Don't skip the churro cream!!
I was excited to see a new restaurant open in the neighborhood and wanted to give it a try before bringing my family. Unfortunately, the pricing felt very high for what was served. A single taco was $12, and a carne asada quesadilla was $17, with a drink and a small cup of rice and beans, the total came to over $30. At those prices, I expected the food to really stand out, but it didn't. The taco was decent, but it wasn't memorable or worth the premium cost in my opinion. The portions were also smaller than expected. The menu was also very limited which could be good if the items were outstanding. The service was good, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. However, the overall value just wasn't there for me. I wish the restaurant success, but I don't see myself returning regularly.
AQ Tacos in Chino absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I noticed how spotless and welcoming the restaurant was. The dining area was clean, organized, and had such a fresh, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made me feel appreciated as a customer, which always makes the experience even better. The food was incredible and every bite was packed with flavor. Not only was everything delicious, but the presentation was stunning. My bowl was filled with vibrant, fresh colors that immediately caught my eye--the bright guacamole, juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, perfectly seasoned rice, creamy beans, grilled corn, pickled onions, fresh crema, and tender, flavorful birria all came together to create a meal that looked just as amazing as it tasted. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and you could tell they don't cut corners on quality. The Birria was juicy and perfectly seasoned, the guacamole was rich and creamy, the vegetables were crisp, and the house salsa added just the right amount of smoky, bold flavor without overpowering the rest of the dish. Every bite had the perfect balance of textures and flavors. It's rare to find a place that nails both presentation and taste, but AQ Tacos does exactly that. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the attention to detail really shines through in every dish they serve. Whether you're looking for an incredible taco, burrito, or a loaded bowl like mine, this place delivers on every level. If you're anywhere near Chino and craving authentic, fresh Mexican food made with care, AQ Tacos is an absolute must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!
Very Pleasant experience at this NEW Taco spot in town. It just opened; and is Shiny and inviting. The girl at the register was friendly and the gentleman in the back (Most likely the owner) was very friendly too. I ordered the "Walking Taco" first time to have "nacho style" dish served in a bag. The Steak was perfect. The flavors you would expect were all there. But the only negative thing I would have to say was that the bag was filled with all crushed tortilla chips (the kind you would find at the bottom of a bag that was crushed). I'm no expert but it was annoying to see that all the chips were crushed. This would be my only issue with the "Walking Taco". This made the dish not so appetizing. Did I say that they are Very Friendly there. Customer Service gets 5 stars. I hope to come back to try their other menu offerings.
I've been here a couple of times, the staff is really friendly, the tacos are really good, although definitely more of a culinary gourmet approach as opposed to what most people are used to. However, for me, the best valued item were the bowls--perhaps they should change the name to 'AQ Bowls'. The esquite is also worth a try. The food tastes really fresh and you can tell that a lot of emphasis is placed on the quality of the ingredients.

This place is a huge no for us. I was really disappointed with my experience. Paying $13 for a single taco with chips, 1 TACO!! I expected much better quality and flavor for that price on 1 taco. As you can see from the pic, the taco also wasn't very big. Unfortunately, the food lacked authenticity and had almost no flavor at all. It was bland and not what I would expect from a taco place. The only thing that was good was the tortilla, it tastes fresh, homemade. For the price, I was hoping for something fresh, flavorful, and worth the cost, but this fell far short of expectations. read more

I've been staring at the lower ratings for AQ Tacos like a confused puppy. Are we eating at the same restaurant?! So I came here for lunch hoping to get an asada burrito. I was I bit disappointed being that it's Birria and ribeye, but since I was already there I thought I'd give it a try. Honestly, I'd go back. Yes, the prices might make your wallet sweat a *little* bit, but for the quality and service? I'm good! The entire place is clean and not cluttered, you could probably eat off the floors, though I'd recommend using the tables. The service was so warm and welcoming that I felt like a VIP guest at a taco gala. Now, let's talk about the food, because it deserves being talked about: * **The Ribeye Taco:** I recommend. I was braced for those awkward, chewy chunks of steak that you have to battle with. Instead, the ribeye was sliced beautifully, flat, and was tender that practically melted in my mouth. The melted cheese in the tortilla was a nice touch. Oh and Those added Chicharrones...Oh, the *crunch*! They had that perfect, airy, crunchy texture to the ribeye taco. The grilled onions were so good especially because they were not burnt. If you like your grilled onions burnt you may want request it. They were perfect for me. I'm * **The Tortillas:** yum! I'm not a corn tortilla gal because I feel the corn flavor takes up all the flavor (I'm a burrito gal for the flour tortilla)...I was pleasantly surprised. You can instantly tell they are homemade. Well I'm not sure if they but they sure taste like it. If you've been to 5 Puntos in Boyle Heights...these tortillas reminded me of a thin version of those. They were warm, soft, pillowy, and held everything together like a delicious edible hug. * **The Birria & Consomé:** I have had my variety of Birria (growing up with Mexican friends and being married to a Mexican with like 20 Tias who all make it), though my benchmark is Birria El Cunado in Rosario...mmmm yummy! Anywho...The birria was juicy, wonderfully seasoned, and absolutely *not* dry (my biggest pet peeve!). The consume was a rich savory flavor bomb that I definitely drank the side of consume like a cup of coffee. * **The Chips:** A nice, complimentary little touch to kick off the meal. The red salsa had vibrant flavor without burning my tastebuds off. A light kick with citrus hints. I'll definitely be back for lunch. read more

I wanted to like this place but not my vibe. In the photo is $21 dollars of food . 1 rib eye taco ,chips and a side of beans. This is a restaurant for a certain clientele. The taco was subpar and the beans were bland . The hot sauces were actually decent and helped. I'm sorry couldn't leave a better review it's right up the street from my house . read more
