I love that their tortillas are homemade, I love that this is truly comida casera I love that the food is not greasy or over salty. I love that the family is here working and building their family business together I'm Mexican and growing up with Guerrero style Mexican food at home, I'm truly not always super impressed with Mexican restaurants and their quality But this place makes salsa just like my mom. I would 100% recommend this place for a Mexican food fix. Also their aguas frescas are homemade made! and super bomb. read more

Been wanting to try this place since we moved back to Gardena. It is in a plaza tucked away in the corner, which to me is always a sign of a good place to eat. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and the place smelled great. My husband and I both got carne asada. He got the burrito and I got the plate. Both delicious and generous portions. Their spicy salsa is really good. Homemade tortilla if I'm not mistaken. And, the rice is just like our abuelita made. So good. We will be back to try the tacos ! read more

There's no lack of taco stands in Gardena (they're great) but it's sooooo nice to have a sit down restaurant offering great tacos, tortas, mulitas, burritos, etc in our community. Coco's Tacos is a small family-owned restaurant that makes homemade tortillas! The restaurant is small but can easily accommodate a family or party of two--my friend and I sat at a two-top easily. The service is really casual, what you want and expect from a family-owned place but you never feel ignored. Your order is taken, the food is brought out, and then you get checked on a few times but really are left alone to enjoy! I love this type of vibe from family restaurants. You get chips and salsa when you first sit down, and I'm pretty sure the chips are from their homemade tortillas, super amazing! I got a shrimp taco, a chorizo taco, and a carnitas mulita. My friend got the Alambre which comes with three tacos: asada, al pastor, and chorizo along with a side of rice and beans. I got the last of the horchata and he ordered the jamaica. Everything was so so good; flavorful, meat was tender and well seasoned, and those homemade tortillas! I can't wait to go back. Two things to know--the restaurant is in the Republic Plaza which gets pretty packed, I don't think I've ever known this parking lot to be empty. So be prepared to have to find street parking and/or wait, circle around especially on the weekends. Coco's takes debit/credit card for payments but you'll be charged for the cost and don't need to sign the receipt which means you can't add in a tip. So, bring cash for a tip! read more

Amazing Birria, service was good, and overall a pleasant experience! Super good salsa aswell!

Delicious! Was in town for something and found this place on Yelp when looking for homemade tortillas. Stopped in Wednesday and Monday for tacos. Both times times were delicious. I tried the carne asada, carnitas, and chicken. I think the carnitas was my favorite. Super moist and yummy!!! Service was friendly as well. If ever I'm town I'll stop by again for sure! read more

Tacos were wonderful. Service was fast and polite. The only thing would that have been nicer was if the temperature in the restaurant was cooler. The Diet Coke, while in a can was still ice cold and so good. I found the rice and beans to be delicious and would have loved extra tortillas to mop them up with. read more

The ambiance can looks not so great but I can promise the food will change your perception of this restaurant. Nice service and delicious food. Handmade tortillas just give the plus read more

These are my favorite tacos . They have the homemade tortillas. Great service Will keep coming back read more

I was in the area so it was either Yoshinoya or Coco's and I decided to go to Coco's tacos. I wind up going to Coco's tacos and I must say it was a better choice. I ordered two El Pastore and two Carne Asada tacos and I gotta tell you they were just packed with meat. The taco shells look like they were fresh everything was fresh. The food was very delicious 10 out of 10 and I definitely would go back again. I highly recommend this place to anyone that's looking for some good tacos. The customer service was fantastic as well you walk in and you're immediately greeted. read more

The carne asada taco had pieces of fat in every bite. The carne asada has no flavor. Not worth the money! Also, the cashier/young man has very poor customer service skills. read more

Coco's Tacos - Horrible carne asada taco; had a lot of pieces of fat. The food here is not worth the money. - Tacos Near Me - Gardena, California

Coco's is a hidden little gem in Gardena that has quickly become a staple for us when we work late and don't have time to make dinner--we love it! They are family owned and serving delicious Mexican dishes. Their carne asada and al pastor meat is really good and never ever dry! I usually get a burrito and my partner gets their asada plate, which is steak served with rice, beans and a side salad. We sometimes get their tacos, which surprisingly are hefty and filling since their tortillas are made by hand. Their salsa's are also a favorite, so don't skip on getting them on the side. I also appreciate the reddish, cucumber and lemons on the side. Support your local small business and give this place a try, they won't disappoint! read more

A little hole in the wall restaurant is always the way to go. This place came out on my FYP on TikTok and decided to come try it out ! It definitely did not disappoint. It's a family owned restaurant and all members were very pleasant and friendly. We started off with some chips and salsa, the chips were freshly made and paired perfectly with the salsa(not spicy) . I ordered 3 tacos, 2 asada and 1 al pastor. Portion size was great and generous and perfectly made of handmade tortillas! Chef kiss! I got full with 2 ! My husband ordered a Menudo also paired with handmade tortillas! Ver delicious and generous amount. My son ordered 2 tacos de cabeza and said it was very juicy! Highlight their cebolla and cilantro is very finely chopped ! To drink we had their Jamaica and was also very tasty! 10/10 for presentation and authentic taste. We're definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu! Looking forward to trying the Mole Plate and Wet burrito! read more

Coco's tacos is AMAZING. They serve the best tacos ever here. My favorite is their al pastor tacos. It's juicy and generous with the portions of meat per taco. I love loads of onions and cilantro on my tacos, so I always ask if I can have some on the side. They pack it in small baggies for you. Their salsa roja is genuinely really spicy. So be warned beforehand. I am someone who can handle a decent amount of heat. What I love about their salsa roja is that the spice doesn't take away from the flavor of the salsa at all. There are some spicy that just makes the sauce gross, but this one is 10/10!! They are a small family ran establishment and it's really cozy and quaint. They are always very polite and nice when we go there. read more

Nice place to go for family owned house made food. Enjoyed the tacos, burritos and love the rice a tasty green sauce. The chicken taquitos were not a fan of too bland need more flavor it seems a little of missing other condiments. read more

Amazing! The mild salsa is a beautiful tomatillo sauce that was so fresh and homemade. We did not want to waste any of it. We felt we were walking into our mother's kitchen. The tortillas were so soft and pillowy and the asada was delicious. We tried two asada tacos and cannot wait to come back and try the taquitos. read more

If you like homemade tortillas, delicious street like tacos and friendly service .... find this spot and GO! We randomly drove by a week ago, pulled it up on YELP and gave it a try and we are soooo glad we did! We've been back 3x already. Food is consistent every time! This is a small place in a strip mall (parking can be tight but you can find street parking), appears to be family run (not 100% sure) but everyone has been so very friendly and courteous. We have enjoyed the carne asada, chicken, carnitas and pastor tacos along with the carne asada burrito. All very good. If your in the area, definitely stop in and give it a try! read more

The handmade tortillas were amazing. All they need really is just more diversity for salsa rather than just red or green. It was empty, but the staff was friendly. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Chicken taco was just ok. However, their green salsa was delicious. I bought a side of it to go.

Perfect burrito, perfect size, perfect timing! I stopped in here to grab a chicken burrito and it was exactly what I wanted. The burrito wasn't so huge I felt gross after eating but it was appropriately filling! All the flavors were there and the tortilla tasted fresh! The person who took my order was very nice and you could eat there if you'd like they have a good amount of nice seating. I'll for sure be back to try some other items! read more

Had not visited in a few months but OMG, this reminds me of what I had been omitting from my pallad. Plenty of meat in the homemade tortillas. I like mine plain with cilantro and spicy salsa on the side, and yes spicy does mean spicy in this restaurant. Greeted by the young man who welcomed us after not seeing us for a minute. I was so overjoyed by my tacos that I forgot to photo my wife's fish tacos; however, she indicated that hers were also fantastic as always. She has hers with lots of lemon. read more

Came 04/05/24 for Lunch for the first time. As you walk in you have to order at register. The atmosphere was pleasant. A lot of seating. I ordered an Asada Burrito, 4 tacos(Chorizo, al Pastor, Birria and Chicken) wanted to try all meats, and they did not disappoint! Everything was good, the handmade tortillas made everything so much better. Our cashier/server was very helpful and attentive. He brought us fresh warm chips and 2 different style salsas, Green; was mild and good, and Red; was Hot AF but also good. Our food came shortly after, overall service and food was awesome.

Horrible service I went for the first time today and asked what the man would recommend and he said " i don't know what I could recommend you everything's good" ok let it go. Then went to order and in the middle of me ordering he said wait and walked away. At which point I said it's not worth it and we left with out trying the food. Wouldn't recommend the service at all Servicio horrible Fui por primera vez hoy y le pregunté qué recomendaría el hombre y me dijo "no sé qué podría recomendarte, todo está bien", está bien, déjalo ir. Luego fui a ordenar y en medio de mi pedido dijo que esperara y se fue. En ese momento dije que no valía la pena y nos fuimos sin probar la comida. No recomendaría el servicio en absoluto. read more

Dude what happened to this place? I used to come here with my friend to get their food all the time. Seems like they decided to not raise prices but instead, lower portion sizes. I knew something was off when the bag felt light....at this point, I'll just go to Angel's Tijuana Tacos in Long Beach after 5pm for a 10 bucks burrito that's 2x the size. This is embarrassing work read more

I got carne asada tacos to-go and the homemade tortilla was good, asada had good flavor, their hot sauce was good, their homemade chips was fire too My son ate the stuff out of his tacos and even my picky mom liked it too.
