Ah Carbon Tacos truly lives up to the hype--the food was absolutely yummy! They came out to my job to provide lunch, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the difference--especially with their homemade taco shells, which were a standout. I personally enjoy my tacos plain, and even without all the extras, they were amazing. For those who like variety, they offered all the fixings to customize your perfect taco. The whole experience was so good that now I'm just looking for any excuse to host an event so I can have them cater again. Highly recommend! read more

Ah Carbon Tacos - These tacos didn't last long. - Tacos Near Me - Montebello, California

This spot is delicious! authentic TJ Tijuana style tacos theres a variety of tacos in the area but no one does them like TJ style its slightly different they do it the salsa is great theres a few different ones so you're going to want to try them all its turning into a local spot again before there used to be a line but there isnt much wait nowadays definitely tucked away in the corner very low key which I like read more

I always see this place empty. I decided to stop by today and now I know why. Don't come. Tacos weren't good.

Currently riding the taco wave and exploring the world of Tijuana-style tacos. This pop-up is only open on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays so plan accordingly. Brush up on your Spanish before visiting but more times than not, they'll have someone who speaks English. Meats are cooked on a charcoal grill and tortillas are made fresh on-site. The salsa has some serious heat and the guacamole is thick but lacks any sort of salt or flavor, which compliments the savoriness coming from the meat and salsa. They do something a little different here, which all you Keto fanatics would giggle over. Their taketos are everything you get in a taco but foregoing the corn/flour tortilla with a shell made entirely of cheese. It is fried just right where the crust has a bit of crunch, enough to hold the taco together, but adds a bit of ooey gooeyness on the inside. Bring the dollar bills because it's cash only. read more

This place attracts a crowd! You may have to wait 15-30 in line for some amazing Tacos al carbon. Worth the wait! Extremely good carne asada marinade, the vampiros tasted excellent, the mulitas delicious! Everything on the tacos cooked to perfection and the fresh ingredients outstanding. The salsa is mild but had a very good taste. They do offer grilled fresh chilies if you want to add extra heat to your meal. Excellent meal for a good reasonable price. Bring friends and enjoy. read more

Ah Carbon Tacos - Tacos, torras mulitas, vampiros. - Tacos Near Me - Montebello, California

Tacos are excellent. Authentic TJ presentation and taste. Pricing is comparable so not bad. Staff is very friendly and setup/environment is overall pretty clean. Why not 5 stars: some folks who are preparing food do not wear gloves. Unsanitary. Not enough seating option (tables). The ordering stations are confusing. The area is very secluded and may be dangerous especially late at night. Did not see the presence of police or security. I would definitely come back again. I recommend this place to everyone, however, if you plan to visit, dont take food to go.. Everything tastes alot better fresh off the grill. read more

Ah Carbon Tacos - Authentic Tijuana style environment and aroma. - Tacos Near Me - Montebello, California

Great tacos!! Fire grilled meat really adds the taste to the tacos. I really recommend these to everyone. Red salsa isn't too hot, but it does have a nice kick to it. Be aware this place is an industrial area, you wouldn't know it existed from the outer street. Do not take your tacos to-go; they don't ta ate as great.Also, there is only two benches, so seating area is limited. read more

Tacos are not good the asada are ok the chorizo are nasty. The only salsa they have has no flavor. The guacamole has no salt so no flavor. Is so expensive and not worth the price never again. read more

Keto tacos are amazing....all their food is good, but the curiosity of keto tacos is what got me there. The Al Pastor is my favorite meat choice....so far. Thanks Ah Carbon! Only complaint....I wish they were open 7 days a week, but if they were, I'd probably be 500lbs lol read more

Pretty Solid Tijuana style Taco. I been here a couple times, it's pretty good overall! Carne Asada Tacos 4/5 Al Pastor Tacos 3.5/5 Hand made tortillas 5/5 Fresh guacamole 5/5 Salsa roja 5/5. It has a good kick Aguas frescas 4/5 I would give it a 5/5 if the meat quality of the carne asada was better, its bbq over charcoal (Which is awesome) but it was better quality meat it would be a 10. The al pastor is not the beast either on flavor, a bit too sweet. read more

The first time i dropped by I ordered asada and chorizo. The asada felt a little bland in taste. Didn't have much taste. Their chorizo tacos and militas were really goood! Second time I came I came prior to them closing. Order 5 mulitas de chorizo and the chorizo was burned! Sabia a puro carbón! I was dissatisfied. I understand it was close to closing time, but if they pride in serving great tacos then the least is to be preparing them without burnt pieces. Four stars because I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that if I return late at night I hope to get better tacos. read more

Service was trash and food was not worth it. Really small taco with barely any meat. Asada was the best one here but the others were flavorless. read more

Finally found a taco man that makes Keto friendly tacos! Tried Ah Carbon for the first time last night and they did not disappoint! Carne asada meat was juicy and flavorful, and the chorizo was great in flavor too. The best part was that they made them in a cheese shell "tortilla" for those of us that are on a low carb diet. Honestly, I didn't even miss the tortilla because the meat, toppings, salsa, and guac were all so incredibly flavorful. Will definitely be back again for more! read more

Omg! U want less fat and delicious tasting food like nature intended. Come here! Tortilla hand made and everything else's. Fresh as can be

These tacos are great! They have freshly made guacamole and hand made tortillas. Plus, as you're waiting in line you get to smell the meats getting grilled because as they say they're "ah carbon". This has been my go to place for the last couple of years and every time I go they get a little better. My gf is on the keto diet and can't have any carbs. I went and found out they have a "quezaso" or however they spell it which is a keto taco. Instead of a tortilla they throw down some cheese and use it as a tortilla substitute. I was skeptical but the "cheese tortilla" holds up with the meat, salsa and guacamole. Totally recommend it! read more

Ah Carbon Tacos - Keto tacos. - Tacos Near Me - Montebello, California

Best tacos in town. Very authentic and definitely Tijuana style. Handmade tortillas, asada al carbon and fresh guacamole. Highly recommend. Too bad they have a difficult time finding a permanent spot. read more

Eh. I thought that the guy serving us was a little rude. He totally blew off my friends requests and just put what he wanted on her tacos. He also served us fold chicken... The asada was a lot better but it was a little...burnt and and some sinew and tough connectiontive stuff that was unpleasant. Won't be going back read more

We had the carne asada tacos and a mulita. They were very accomodating and made a queso taco (cheese shell) for us keto people. I loved the tj style tacos with really flavorful carne asada, onions, cilantro and a generous swipe of guac. Had never tried a mulita before, but oh my, yum! They have yummy roasted jalapenos and red salsa that is really yummy but has a good burn to it. It's set up in an odd place. Parking is not great, but it was worth it. read more

You smell the awesome asada up the street ! No need to drive to TJ anymore... these tacos are legit ! I read the reviews before I went to try them, so didn't know what to expect. To each, their own. The taste is incomparable. Try them !!! read more

Ok I went due to highly being recommended and i was not disappointed. The tacos are really good. I also had a mulita. Carne asada is so tasty they add real guacamole and a savory salsa. Best carne asada tacos ive had in a while. read more

Best tacos north of the border! As a fellow Tijuanense I'm pretty skeptical about my tacos specially one who claims TJ style tacos! But these here are authentic! Don't come here expecting a chef Ramsey experience, these tacos are street food, you eat them with you hands on the hood of your car, not sitting down with a fork and knife in a five star hotel! The meat is cooked "ah carbon" not on a metal plancha, so expect a different flavor! The owner and workers all have that TJ attitude, they don't kiss the customers butt's to make them come back, they just provide them with great tasting food and that keeps them coming back! And if your taco seems a little on the light side you don't have to leave a negative review, just say " No Mamés Guey, échale con ganas" and trust me your problem would be resolved!! In a nutshell, GREAT TASTING TACOS, a little pricey but well worth the price! If your too cheap to indulge your self, go around the corner to the other taco stands and save a few quarters but you won't get the same great taste!! read more

I just found the best tacos in town. They are delicious. The carne asada meat is perfectly seasoned. The guacamole is generously served on your tacos. They are so reasonable...2 dollars a taco. I highly recommend this taco stand to everyone that enjoys delicious tacos with hand made tortillas. read more

I use to love coming here for tacos but lately they been burning the meat and becoming stingy, there militias use to be a decent size now there super small and pricey for the size. The owner always seems to be in a bad mood not professional at all. You have lost a great customer. Honestly don't waste your time and money here, just drive a few blocks down to Tacos Don Cuco best carbon tacos hands down! Also great customer service! And to the owner no I'm not confused you guys are located on a sketchy rd across from a diesel shop on bluff Rd near Slauson. read more

Ok so if I don't review this place then you won't know how incredible the food is and the line won't get crazy. But if I don't review it then maybe they don't get enough traffic to stay open. This place is a taco stand an old school Tijuana style out in the open in the corner of a parking lot kinda place. If you are expecting fancy this place isn't for you. But if you grew up eating street tacos like I did this place takes me back to nights in Mexico. I have no idea if they are open weeknight so you might want to check. If you are anywhere close and are craving authentic, as in I would bring my mom authentic, this place is for you. Oh and being Gluten free Mexican food is typically gluten free. I didn't see much potential for cross contamination but eat at your own risk. read more

This place has pretty good food, I really enjoy the style of tacos they prepare. They also prepare diet friendly tacos. The meat is really tender for the most part. No complaints at all! If there's one thing I believe keeps them from getting that fifth star is the lack of friendliness. If they worked on that, the place may very well explode. I am a returning customer time and again however I know I'd be here twice the amount of times I have. Don't get me wrong they are not necessarily rude with the exception of one of the taco guys. But it seems and feels as though you're just a number. I understand and try to be sensitive to think that perhaps you're going through something personal which would be none of my business, but understanding, however when it's the rule not the exception as a recurring customer you really get to know the crew. In-service customer service is of the upmost importance, because no matter what business you're in the main thing is that we are in the relationship building business. read more

Had two mulitas de asada 2 tacos de chorizo. Food was good,but was expecting a little more flavor. Portions were on the small size. Worth it if in the area. 1 of only 2 spots near the SGV area that I can say are good T.J. style tacos. read more

This is as close to perfect as you can get...yes I'm sure and no this is not up for debate. Three meats one salsa. No filler here. Asada - 5/5 Chicken - 5/5 Chorizo - 4/5 Salsa - 5/5 Guacamole - 4/5 Tastebudz approved. read more

Tried this new taco stand, it was satisfying. Their handmade tortillas were really good and the way the prep the tacos looks very tasty but it lacks a little ooomff in flavor. I also tried the mulita which is like a quesadilla because it has cheese but it's not folded instead it has a tortilla on top and bottom. I didn't like the pastor flavor too much, I think I tasted cumin or spice I've tasted in chili before. Overall, it's worth trying...everyone has different taste buddies. read more
