They offer onion and cilantro separately which is a rare perk at taco spots. They sell horchata and pineapple drinks (recommend), and a few soda options. Truck workers are friendly and efficient, you receive your food moments after ordering. There's a bar style table off to the side if you want to eat there, no seating options but the area is clean. *CASH ONLY* and well worth a stop at the ATM. Open late weekdays and even later on the weekend, great spot for a late night bite.

Service was really quick but I wish we were able to put the toppings and salsa ourself. Ps~ask them about the free stickers! Tacos are $2.50 each and I got the asada, al-pastor, and cabeza.

They were busy and I still got my food within just a couple minutes. The Tacos al Pastor are top notch. Al Pastor is one of my favorites and this one is great....tender, juicy and super full of flavor. The Salsa Roja is nice and spicy but also very flavorful. I'll definitely be stopping by again for some truly authentic and amazing street food.

I've seen this place almost every night since it's around the corner, so we decided to stop. We had asada tacos and pastor tacos and washed them down with Mexican Coke. The tortilla was delicious and the meat was perfect. There are a few stools to sit on if one wants (we did) but this is mostly a to-go place. The food came quickly and we were home and in bed, full and happy, in no time. I recommend this place for delicious food with no hipster vibes. Sorry I didn't take a picture. I was too busy eating.

Worst tacos, horchata and asada fries I ever had in socal…read more I ordered asada fries without beans, I got beans. Also can we make it a mission to label pico de gallo as pico de gallo? If I see "salsa" I'm thinking house salsa. Let's be specific~ Speaking of salsa, I ordered salsa verde and got something more like salsa amarillo? It's the blandest salsa ever. I could get more out of a sauce packet tbh. I don't know if the water down their salsas maybe? Of the (probably) many watered down items served here, this horchata has at least 3x more water than flavor. Also don't know how you can water down the flavor of meat but add that to the list too. I will say texture on the meat is good like I know it's not over or undercooked, but I taste next to nothing. Also received the most solid as a rock limes ever. Confused how that even came to be. This place is full of shiny gimmicks with no substance. If you're looking for good mexican food look elsewhere. It's southern california, you've got options.

The food was delicious and the prices can't be beat. My personal favorite were the aguachiles, they were perfection! We also ordered two shrimp tacos and surf and turf burritos and neither disappointed. There seemed to be only one person working so kudos to the chef as the food came out fairly quick but you could taste the freshness. When we went it was empty but a few people had pick up orders. The restaurant looked clean and well maintained. I can't wait to come back as those aguachiles are still on my mind.

Very small seafood style taco spot located on the second floor of a strip mall in Pasadena. The…read moreplace seems to be family owned and operated. When I came in it was near closing time and there was no one sitting inside. I think they were closing up, but I had enough time to order something to go. I ended up ordering two fish tacos. It was neatly packaged and plenty of toppings, along with some salsa on the side. When I finally got around to eating the tacos, it was very tasty and there was a nice crisp to the Ensenada style tacos. I definitely cheer for places like this, and I tend to score a little higher only because I feel like there needs to be more places like this around. Not only that, but they have a pretty extensive menu, but I really just came here specifically for the fish tacos on this visit.

The chilaquiles red salsa is super flavorful and slightly smoky, you don't need a lot of sauce which was good becuase all my chips were covered, but not soggy. Very good.

I've been here multiple times, starting from a couple years ago up until today…read more My favorite go-to item is the guacamole perron with cabeza. It's a good amount of food and it's usually enough to feed 2 people. The chips that come with it are freshly made and steaming hot and crispy. In the past I've also ordered their birria tacos and the burrito. They were fine but nothing special. It looks like they recently redid the menu and rebranded to be a bit more upscale, but as far as I can tell the menu is largely the same and food quality is as great as ever. Service is fine. It's too loud with the music indoors so I usually sit outside, but it can get cold outside in the winter. My rating is just for the food.

This is a must try off of lake in Pasadena…read more Reliably good food every time I have been here. Chips and salsa with WARM chips. A to die for pork tomahawk. Amazing happy hour and I highly recommend the dos gringos. Every detail of that dish is made with thought and precision down to the proportions given and the wonderful crisp on the tortilla. Amazing deal! Be careful when ordering sparkling water because they'll bring you an overpriced bottle of sparkling water instead of just their fountain soda water without asking for clarification. I've made that mistake a couple times. Otherwise, I highly recommend Mercado; you can't really go wrong.

Sunday evening team dinner. Had heard a lot about Mercado - pricey, overrated, etc - all wrong…read more Delicious. But pricey - but it's S Lake Ave. what do you expect? Rents high. Our waiter Gianni's is amazing! Give that guy a raise. The guacamole had onions so I had to pass, and the entire table ate onions and I didn't - so didn't try it. However, the chips and salsa were delicious. The mushroom queso dip is divine. Delicious. Creamy. Addictive. Must order it. I ordered the fillet mignon tacos - they were flattened steak - I'd prefer chopped. Would give the taco more texture. No accompanying sauce - so used the salsa - very good. The avocado was too thick. The mashed potato's were forgettable. I get it - mashed potato's in a Mexican restaurant. But why not add a fusion gravy? Flan for dessert was out of this world. Churros were slightly undercooked. A solid Mexican spot in Pasadena. Would like to try more food options.

For for first timers, I'd recommend ordering the Villa's Trio which is what I got. Those come with the Ranchera Asada quesotaco as well as the Papas con Chorizo and Black Bean con Pollo quesotacos which are a trio exclusive. All the tacos were meaty, flavorful, and crispy. You honestly don't even need the side sauces since the tacos are already flavorful on their own. Great quality. I also got the Watermelon Agua Fresca which was refreshing, tasty, and sweet. Goes well with the tacos. I also got the Jamaica Agua Fresca, but that one was a bit too tart for my liking. The line can get long, so I would prepare to wait for up to an hour on weekends. There's ample free parking at the grocery store lot nearby. For seating and tables, it's limited and competitive. You just have to get lucky if a spot clears up as soon as you get your food. I also like how the restaurant handles crowd control. They allow a couple of people at a time to go inside, order, and get their condiments. You wait outside until they call you for your food. I like that it didn't feel crowded while I was getting my condiments. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back.

Que maldito es ese lugar que mal humor de todos empleados. Nunca volveré en mi vida!…read more I went here yesterday and ALLLL staff were super rude and laughing the whole time, I'm not sure if they were all under the influence of something or we walked into a joke prior but what an uncomfortable experience in this place. It was the only place in the area open until 12 and my friends and I left karaoke at 1130. The experience was so bad I cancelled my order. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito for 5.85 and the cashier told me it cost $2.55 to add sour cream and did some extra weird punching in of things at the register and it went from $7 and some change when I initially said, "can you add sour cream" ? Then I all of sudden had a $9 bean and cheese burrito. My friend ordered in Spanish and told them no ice in her horchata. They put a full cup of ice and wrote it on the receipt in Spanish. Not sure if they were laughing at her ordering? Because her accent isn't super strong and she looks Italian - very fair skin w dark hair (still not a reason) but Ella es Panameña, but they laughed the whole time we were there. She also was missing a taco and they charged her for 3 and they took super long to make her food and they were closing in 15 min for 3 little street tacos. People kept coming from the back to the grill and the front register to laugh and speak Spanish (I speak Spanish) but very unprofessional and super rude establishment and environment. Very weird experience 0 stars - wouldn't recommend
