    2 al pastor tacos with cilantro, pineapple drink
    Sandy M.

    Funny story, we drove by and saw a taco set up, so we stopped to have a taco each. We ordered 2 al pastor tacos as we saw the rotisserie set up. They were still putting meat on the rotisserie set up, so it wasn't cut straight from there. I loved how they have a salsa bar set up, with everything you need for toppings. One of the salsas were pretty spicy, so the pineapple drink was there for the rescue. I would have liked the tacos more if it had some grilled pineapple, Also, al pastor tacos usually have like red-like seasoning (not spicy) but this one didn't, so the flavor was a bit different from what I expected. Overall, it was decent.

    This taco spot has become my family's new fave local taco spot. Honestly speaking you can catch us here at least once a week. Our go-to is their pastor taco. We love how on the side they offer a variety of sauces and toppings. We like to top our tacos with avocado salsa, red salsa, green salsa, pickled veggies, radish, and lime. If you're not a fan of spice be careful of the pickled veggies since they have a kick to them. The tacos are about $2, however, they do give more meat compared to other trucks. Customer service is great and the cooks are always so sweet. Sauces & Toppings they provide: Red salsa, avocado salsa, green salsa, radish, cucumber, lime, and pickled veggies.

    Al Pastor Tacos

    Came here because I saw @bunbaosibs post about them! This spot is delicious! We got the al pastor and carne asada tacos which were both yummy. The al pastor was our favorite because of the flavor. The carne asada had this ground meat texture, so we weren't a fan. They have a sauce bar which you can put your own salsa (red, green, etc.) They have 3 locations: 2 in San Gabriel (valley/del mar and san gabriel/las tunas and 1 in El Monte. Each taco was $2 and worth every bite!

    tl;dr: one of the best in SGV. All meats are tasty, portions are great, prices are really…read morereasonable. Solid 4.5 stars You know how you always see so many taco trucks or stands on a main street? Do you ever stop by all of them and check them out? No need, I am the one who eats. My goal is to try all the taco stands in Los Angeles. Located in front of an El Monte Numero Uno market and CVS, this is one of my new finds and definitely one that I would eat at every week. Their style is like a blend of Tj and traditional taco stands. This is their setup: charcoal grill only for asada, pastor spit, stewing pot, vast condiments stand (incl. guacamole), and auga frescas. Asada is grilled nicely and retains so much flavors despite I didn't get a freshly grilled batch. If it retains grilled flavors and stays juicy after sitting in the steam bath containers, it must be seasoned well and the right cut of beef was chosen. Pastor is nicely seasoned and not that greasy. They sometimes will give you pineapples but it is still good without it. I wished it was sweeter and a bit more meat juicy but I can't fault their pastor because it's beautifully cut and roasted. Goes really well with grilled onions. Cabeza is tender and already seasoned; good amount of meat and fat (albeit more fat, makes it juicier) makes it perfect for two tortillas. Tripas is good; it may not have the best flavors but it is nicely stewed, grilled right, and tastes clean. They use store-bought tortillas but don't fret, all the flavors are there. They use the stewing meat pot's (cabeza, buche, tripas) oil to season their tortillas for grilling. Their dark red salsa is seriously perfect :D nicely roasted chiles smoke flavor combined with a thick savory consistency makes it perfect for any meats. Not too spicy to be unenjoyable but enough to make you want more. The workers told me it's a blend of arbol chiles. This is one of the best salsa I've had at taco stands. Guacamole salsa has a decent amount of avocado with the right acidity, saltiness, and creamy texture. Again, goes well on any meat. The fact that they let you scoop this yourself makes the $2 a bargain. Salsa verde is good; high acidity (I like) and a good tomatillo flavor makes this a good choice for those who enjoy a mild salsa (it's on the upper end of mild). The orange salsa (taquera) is spicy! Good smoky flavors and only a few drops are needed for a nice burning kick. I need to come back and try rest of their meats (I always get their asada and pastor every time) because I keep getting what tastes good even though I should try the rest :) Their quesadillas and alambre portions are HUGE especially if you order multiples. Give this place a try and tell me if I'm wrong. I eat tacos every week and typically drive to South LA for my likings, but this place is winning my emotions. This is the upper echelon of $2 tacos in SGV.

    Came across Mike L's review for Tacos Xaam and decided to check it out myself. Seeing the open…read morecondiments table and the unlimited sauces were pretty much what drew me in. Not sure if there are set hours that they are set up, but we stopped by on a Thursday night last week to grab some tacos for dinner. They're located on Garvey Avenue (near the back of the parking lot), in front of the Numero Uno Market - there's also a small churro stand adjacent to Tacos Xaam as well as a hot dog stand in the plaza across the street. So when we walked up to the stand, we saw one of the workers managing the meat. They have pastor roasting on a spit while some meats are inside of a pot and other meats that have already been premade. We originally only wanted asada tacos, but the worker convinced me to try the pastor. And I ended up adding a cabeza and tripa as well. I'm not a taco connoisseur, but I have to say that I really enjoyed the tacos from this stand. For one thing, they give a ton of meat! Tacos are a little pricier than the place that we usually visit ($2 a piece), but I think the quality is there - and the quantity is definitely there! Out of all the ones that I tried, I actually enjoyed the tripas taco the most. This was on the crispy side and retained its crunch as I bit into the taco. The tortillas are on the oily side with the combination of the oil and the meat, but everything tasted really good together. And of course, you have to try the asada if you're getting a taco. We ordered five or six of these - my sister agreed that it was packed with meat and really tasty. The steak was cooked well and wasn't chewy or dry. I also ordered cabeza on a whim and thought it was pretty good, but probably not my favorite. This reminded me of the beef stew meat that my mom makes at home. It had good flavor and was actually really filling, but I'd prefer asada over the cabeza. The worker asked why I didn't want to try the pastor, so of course I gave in and ordered one. I really liked the fact that this came with some grilled pineapples - reminded me of the Brazilian steakhouses! This was a little on the salty side, but with the addition of the sauces and condiments - I'd say that the taste was really good. If you order your tacos to eat there, they serve it on a plate, making it easy to load up your tacos with the condiments. If you plan to eat them at home, they offer bags for the condiments as well as sauce containers to scoop out the sauces. There was a container for lemons, onions, cilantro (love that this was by itself and finely chopped), and a spicy jalapeno pepper/onion mix that looked way more innocent than it tasted. Unfortuately there weren't any limes that night - as for the sauces, there's the guacamole, salsa verde, and two kinds of red sauces that looked super intimidating. We enjoyed the salsa verde the most - not spicy and had a nice zest to it. The people operating this booth were friendly - everything was super fast and we got our tacos within minutes. tl;dr - Tacos Xaam is definitely a taco stand you want to consider for those late night cravings! It's a little further out there than the regular SGV places, but it's worth it. They also have quesadillas, burritos, tortas, etc. I will return to get more tacos!

    Drove by several days ago to walk around San Gabriel x Valley with friends after dinner and boba…read more While we were too full to try anything, one spot that stood out to me was this 土家酱香饼. Lo and behold, thanks to Christina the business exists on here and has been christened "Jiang Xiang Bing Guy"! Although he was working solo that day, when I decided to return on an empty stomach, he had an assistant helping with seasoning and chopping up the 酱香饼. There were about five folks waiting by the time I got there Sunday evening. The guy with the blue UCLA hoodie was purposefully putting on a show, since he had two phones set up for streaming. Every now and again, when he gets a request from someone, he would say "OK no problem!" and continues with kneading, rolling, and transferring the dough to the big ol' frying machine. At $10 per order, perhaps a part of the cost is the spirited mini-interactions. After paying via Venmo, I showed the gal my phone. 他是老板 she said jokingly as she handed me the food. I had mine mild, and honestly it was a delightfully crispy and savory snack for a cold winter evening.

Intrigued and a lover of street foods, I went last night to check it out hoping he was at the same spot and he was! (Honestly San Gabriel Superstore parking lot be popping with bomb street food stalls and trucks over these past years). The guy was calling his food a Chinese pizza but it's actually a Chinese street food called Jiang Xiang Bing(酱香饼) which basically means "saucy pancake". If you can't speak Chinese(don't worry he does understand English though but he spoke to me in Mandarin by default lol), just give him $10 and he will give you a portion. If you don't have cash, he has QR codes for digital payments and once it goes through you can hear his phone notification from his car. When he's done making the bread and ready to chop it, he will ask you how spicy you want it. You can say "xiao la" for mild or say yes and nod your head for the regular spicy lol. The pan fried flat bread was crispy and the sweet and spicy soy bean sauce really went well with it, I'd get it again!!!
