Carne asada Mulita, vampiro abs tacos
Omar F.

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.

Authentic Tijuana style environment and aroma.
Deijah C.

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.

Asada tacos

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.

Found this spot while driving in the area. Tacos are overpriced for the small size but they get the job done.

Chorizo and asada tacos con todo.

Tj style tacos on Montebello! It's a must try. Also, the cool paper they sit the tacos on, is a nice touch for a pic!

Keto tacos de asada
Ozzie D.

Wow my keto tacos were amazing ! The asada is good and so is the chorizo! They use a home made style guacamole for the tacos that takes it over the top .

Okay went back for a second try this time guac in the side because I felt it was over powering and I couldn't get a taste for the taco itself. So it's good, the mulita I got w chorizo no guac and carne asada tacos no guac. Men serving are still very stoic and without any umph....

Keto tacos.

Sergio's Tacos has been a longtime go-to spot for my family for many years. Overall, the food is…read moregood, and it's one of those places we keep coming back to because when they get it right, it really hits the spot. My personal favorite is their burrito, pretty much with any meat. They do a great job balancing and rolling it so that you get a good mix of everything in each bite, which makes a big difference. Family favorites also include their carne asada tacos, tacos in general, their nachos, and the tortas de milanesa. That said, the food can be a little hit and miss at times depending on how it's prepared and served. For me, the one thing I usually skip here is the al pastor. It tends to be a little too soupy for my taste, and in my experience it does not have that fresh off-the-trompo texture and flavor that I prefer. As for service, it really depends on who you get. It can be hit and miss, but for the most part the staff is not rude and things usually move along fine. Ambiance is pretty minimal in my experience, mainly because I usually take the food to go, so I'm not really coming here for the dine-in atmosphere. Pricing is decent, the food is generally satisfying, and this is still a spot that has earned its place as a family favorite over the years. Not perfect every single time, but definitely a place we've enjoyed and will keep coming back to.

What? $2.50 Wednesday Tacos special only at this location? Will have to come back for that! Love…read moretheir $4 Mixto Meat (carnitas) Tacos!! One $4 taco is like a mini burrito. When there's tons of $1.25-$2 taco options in the neighborhood and even by Boyle Heights, that $4 is worth it! It's filling. I feel anyone who's a carnitas lover will enjoy El Momo. Meats here are salted now. But not overly. Looks like they are open and serving consistently now again too? Locations we've been to: Original boyle heights location was always good. Add your own salt. But then again, haven't been back since before covid times, before it became mainstream popular? Boyle heights (soto st) 2nd location was too salty for the SO a year ago. He's not planning to revisit. He only visited cause this location was closed again. East LA location (this one) wasn't stable in its opening dates, hours, including their mixton taco meat quality. We are used to adding our own salt. But as our recent visit 9/2026, looks like they presalt their meat now!! And it's not overly salty too!

Carnitas El Momo is the place to come for carnitas (pork), especially if you like pork skin or…read morestomach. Looking up 'Best carnitas in LA', and there's a good chance that 'Carnitas El Momo' will pop up in your search results list. Starting as a food truck in Boyle Heights in 2015 (which is still open), this brick-n-mortar location with indoor dining in Monterey Park opened in 2022. It ended up being a bit longer walk than I anticipated coming from the East LA Civic Center Metro station, so my brother and I were drenched in sweat on this 90+ degree day. We walked into the air conditioned uncrowded building, and were friendlily greeted, and offered a simple taco of pork burnt ends. It was good and gave us a taste of what the rest of the meal would be like. Between the two of us, we ordered a sample of each taco ($4), stuffed in a decent tortilla. The meats are available are buche (pork stomach), cueritos (pork skin), maciza (pork shoulder), and migajas (burnt ends). We also got the Mix (all the meats aptly named aPORKalypse) and also a mulitas ($12 for all the meats except stomach). Everything was ordered con todo, which meant a lot of cilantro and pickled white onion with lime wedges. I also got a large horchata ($6). There is self-serve water available near the simple salsa bar (choice of a hot green sauce, and even hotter red sauce and hot pickled peppers). All the meat is cooked in lard low and slow and seasoned according to the patriarch's (aka Momo) original receipt from Salamanca, Mexico. The slow simmering definitely was noticeable and we enjoyed the flavors. My favorite was definitely the Mix, with a nice blend of texture. I think have a crunch factor (like chicharron) would have added even more texture, but I understand that would not be authentic. Also I noted that they call buche here pork belly, which is a very different pork belly than in Far East Asian cuisine. I like buche though in moderation, and this version was very good, especially mixed with pork muscle cuts. Pork skin by itself in a taco is too much for me. I would definitely get the mulitas again, replacing the pork skin with buche, and putting on it a milder sauce than the hot ones offered...definitely need a lot of acidity to cut through the very fatty meal.
