Mimi A.

Husband and I were hungry and lazy. He decided on Blady's taco truck. It's located near Grocery Outlet on Terry and Beach. We've seen lots of people there before so we knew it must be popular. I had never had anything quesabirria or birria before so I decided on something different and went with 2 quesabirria tacos. My husband got a birria burrito, and we ordered birria broth with some meat in it for my mom. All of us LOVED it. The meat is soooo tender and flavorful. I have dysphagia so I tend to have difficult time swallowing tougher meats like carne asada or steaks, and my mom has Alzheimer's Disease and struggles with eating anything other than mush. Birria was perfect for the both of us. Will try this place again.

Ordered 6 tacos total around noon time. Waited about 5 minutes for the food come out. Host taking the order was very courteous and very informative of all salsa selections available in their format. They also ask if you'd like salt upon wrapping up the order which is pretty cost effective. The flavors of asada 4/5 Al pastor 3/5 Quesabirria taco 3/5 Cabeza 3/5 (bit greasy) Packaging 5/5 Pricing is fair about 2.25 per Taco Spicy salsa is really hot! I'd recommend going 1 tier lower to truly appreciate the meats more. Will be back some time to try their other protein options.

Definitely some good tacos, but nothing super mind blowing like I expected from the reviews. We were on the hunt for a taco truck and found this spot -- literally just a truck parked on the side of the road, as expected. There were people already waiting for their food which definitely indicated to us that this was a good place, and we placed our orders shortly. Since it was a bit of an odd eating time I just tried one of the carne asada tacos. It was different from your traditional carne asada which usually has bigger chunks of meat -- these were more ground. They also have a ton of different salsas to add which were great. The flavor was good, and I loved mixing a couple of the salsas. The tacos are also super affordable at around $2 post tax. A great place to stop at if you have a street taco craving!

Had been hearing about Blady's for years and finally tried it on 5 de Mayo. I tried the asada, birria, pastor and cabeza. All great. All the salsas also great! And the cucumber lemonade was delicious. Right off Beach Blvd. Recommend!

Decided to come here after a long day at the beach and I'm so happy I did! The lady taking our order was so kind and provided phenomenal customer service I spent around $20+ for 11 tacos and there was a small credit card fee but regardless, the price for these tacos are such a steal! If you're in the area, definitely come check this place out because the service and tacos were amazing!

Best tacos I've had in a while‍‍‍ I got 2 birria tacos to try it out, liked it so much I got 3 more, and made all my friends try it

Birria tacos

The food was fresh and tastey. I tried their birar tacos and their consomé. Their tacos are more lean and less fatty than what I am used to and has much less sodium than I am used to for this particular type of tacos, but they are the healthiest briar tacos I have had. They are also fairly priced. Usually, the birar tacos and consumes I get are drenched in fat, which I enjoy, but the broth seems double-boiled and health conscious people would really appreciate this. However, all in all, I enjoyed this version as well.

Look for this...easy parking too.

This place is muy bueno! I was nearby and decided to give this place a try. I'm really glad I did. This taco truck is as sparkling clean and the gal taking my order was very nice and had a lot of personality. I got a Birria taco ($2), al Pastor ($1.25), asada ($1.25) and a choriqueso ($2). All of them were killer. Super fresh, tons of flavor. The choriqueso was very unique and tasty. Great prices. Great value. I'm coming back for the Birria with ramen noodles ($10).

Support this guy and his wife! He's making fresh, authentic tasty food, hard-working & so friendly! He's gained a loyal following from the cops a "Karen" called to try to shut him down!

A little variety here, and they were all absolutely delicious!!
Bryce M.

This is my favorite Taco truck in Orange County hands-down. The people that work this truck are so friendly, and the food is outstanding!! The pastor is my go to every time, and I always try two or three other meats when I'm there, and I've never been disappointed. For a limited time he's doing fish Tacos on Fridays, so get down there and try them before this special stops running, and don't forget to ask about the secret menu items...

If you're looking for good quality - most bang for your buck tacos, look no further! Blady's is a small taco truck that delivers big flavor. I had 5 carne asada tacos and a quesadilla and was blown away by the quality of the tacos and the speed of the service. The owners are extremely friendly and make all the sauces themselves. I can't do a lot of spice so i usually go with the mild salsa - but it's to die for. I put that on everything. Overall 10/10 for food & service. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

They are generous with the amount of salsa you get. The avocado mild one was my favorite. The red one was a little too spicy.
Karen F.

Location of truck: N/E/C of Terry Drive east of Beach Blvd. It's near by the Auto Zone parking lot area but they are parked on the north side of the street on Terry Drive east of Beach Blvd. Thank you to other yelpers who made it easy to find this spot. This place is a must try in HB. Recently moved from SGV to HB and I have been looking high and low for a good taco spot. None have been able to satisfy my craving except for this spot. This was so delicious. I loved everything about it, location, price, packaging of food, customer service, flavor of food and sauces. I loved the carne asada tacos. 5/5 with or without salsa. Birria Tacos 4/5, with salsa and salt I was a solid taco. Al Pastor 3/5, a little dry for my taste. With Salsa it was delicious. Chicken taco 5/5, with or without salsa. The carne asada torta was fire! A solid 5/5. One of my favorite tortas I have eaten. Everything about it was delicious, beans, jalapeños, carne asada, bread was so soft. A must try. The employees are super kind and loved their customer service. Their cucumber lemonade was yummy. 5/5. Not too sweet not to bland. Just right for me. They are generous with the amount of salsa you get. The avocado mild one was my favorite. The red one was a little too spicy. Salsa options and flavors 5/5. I finally found my taco spot in HB. Happy SVG girl here.

Great street-side BBQ spot with an amazing brisket sandwich!…read more Stopped by Street Tawa BBQ on Sunset Blvd and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. They keep the menu pretty simple, offering halal smash burgers and brisket sandwiches. I ordered the smash burger, which comes with two patties, cheese, onions, pickles, and sauce. The buns were nicely toasted on the outside while still soft on the inside, and the patties were cooked perfectly. Definitely a solid burger! The brisket sandwich was the highlight for me. The brisket was incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. Honestly, we were blown away that we were getting brisket this good from a street-side setup next to the 110 freeway! The location is definitely unique, and the food speaks for itself. If you're in the area and looking for halal BBQ or a good smash burger, I'd definitely recommend giving Street Tawa BBQ a try. Would definitely come back for that brisket sandwich!

Tacos were $2.50 like most of the other trucks/stands that I've been to in the area and super good. I also liked that they cucumbers with some sort of salsa on them instead of just plain cucumbers I liked both the cabeza and the pastor a lot, but suadero was the one that stood out to me the most compared to previous tacos that I've had. Def recommend giving suadero a try if you haven't yet! Two of my friends tried it for the first time and liked it a lot. Only thing that would've made it better is if the pastor taco came with pineapple

I've been coming to Tacos El May for a while now. They started as a stand in front of the Bank of…read moreAmerica around Bolsa and Magnolia, and back then it was always a little unpredictable. Sometimes they'd be there, sometimes they'd move, sometimes they'd get shut down by the cops lol. Now they've upgraded to a truck and have actual hours, so definitely check their Instagram before heading over because they post their schedule and specials there too. The tripas extra crispy are FIRE. That's easily my favorite thing here and what keeps me coming back. I usually get tripas and asada, then occasionally switch it up with pastor. The asada is good, pastor is okay, but extra-crispy tripas is the move for me. One thing that puts this place higher on my taco list is the sauces. I actually like all three of them, and not every taco spot can say that. Give me good meat AND good sauces and I'm happy. They keep the menu pretty simple but have things like nachos, quesadillas, burritos and different specials. I've seen $5 tortas and discounted tacos depending on the day. Their aguas frescas have consistently been good too. They used to be cash only, which wasn't exactly a problem considering you're literally standing in front of Bank of America lol, but they take Zelle now too. My only question mark is the portion since moving into the truck. On my most recent visit, it seemed like I got noticeably less meat on my tacos than I used to. I've been here enough times without that problem that I'm not holding one visit against them yet, so we'll see if that was just a fluke. Grab your cilantro, onions and sauces and you're good to go. I've been back plenty of times and I'll keep coming back. Extra-crispy tripas, all three sauces and an agua fresca -- that's my order.

My husband really liked the spare ribs and brisket sandwich. He said it made all the difference that the brisket was sliced, not chopped. I had a bite of his potato salad and it was really good too. I liked the kielbasa and it was great that a bbq place didn't only have hot links. Service was friendly and fast. They've only been open about a year and it's nice that people are finding it. You can order To Go or they have a few tables outside (no shade) or on the back patio with umbrellas. Open Wednesday through Saturday, no phone orders.
