    Taco Truck. Ordered the two birria tacos. The young lady took my order they were quick and professional she gave me a beautiful smile. The tacos were very delicious and juicy You can serve a variety of different add-ons like cilantro and onions, red onions, Nopales in vinegar, and green and avocado sauces. Great place for a Good price Highly recommend this place

    "Asada taco"
    Cache H.

    The asadas taco was pure fat. Dotys was good many moons ago but now not so much. Also they accept Zelle now

    El pastor and shrimp tacos. Very flavorful.
    Dannielle W.

    Food is very good with a wide variety. Staff are nice and accommodating. Only problem is they don't have the prices posted.

    Ordered 50 tacos last minute, and they came through like Champs. The team loved the flavors, and the staff was super nice. They provided containers for the sauces and the toppings were fresh. Seriously the best tacos in L.A. Thanks Dotys. see you soon.

    Carne asada sope

    Best tacos and sopes 10/10 each time we come back. Authentic food in the neighborhood. Friendly service!

    Let's Taco bout it ... When you think of taco trucks in the Southbay, Dotys is definitely one of the names that pops up. From tacos to burritos, to desserts, this place got it all now; they have a nice set up with tables and chairs as well to enjoy your food fresh. Bring back the $1 tacos though! The tacos still hit after all these years (pastor), the steak and shrimp burrito is a fave, another stand out for sure is their salsas (habanero), they have great flavor and heat here ! I have to come back to try more new items to really formulate a solid review, also the service was a bit off this night, they were not very attentive, it took them a while to acknowledge us and it was not busy at all... anyway... 3.5/5 star for now. Tip: They take card now; their menu does not show pricing so ask how much everything is before you order and ring you up. Happy eats, loves! ^_^

    A roach

    First I want to say my family and I have been going to Doty's Tacos for years. But tonight September 27th 2025 there was a cockroach in our food. I am disgusted and sick to my stomach I will never be back again

    15 dollars for a burrito half the size of my hand overpriced small burrito not coming again

    Food was alright. 70% tortilla, 30% meat. Smallest tacos I've eaten and very overpriced. $5 for one birria taco.

    Stoked we found this spot. Great service and delicious lunch…read more Definitely will be back

    We came for the first time and were confused by the menu. We had a family of 4 so wanted to order…read morethe family pack. Was told that was only for to-go. Ended up ordering burritos, tamales, enchiladas, hard and soft shell tacos, etc. - Tamales were the best. Meaty carnitas - burrito was next best. Meaty, not too much filling. I'm from NM so love the wet style. It bugged me that you have to pay extra for Christmas style. Who really likes getting charged for a lick of sauce? How much does that sauce really cost the business? Look, I walked away and I still remember you wanted to charge me some nominal fee for the sauce. I told my friends. Now I'm telling my friends on Yelp. The owner should read up on pricing psychology. He probably doesn't want to be known as the guy who charges for sauce, is my guess. - Chicken taco was a nice size and tasted ok - enchiladas were mid Salsa is only free for the first 2 servings. Even for a table of 4, that bugged me. Again, he's known now as the guy who nickels and dimes. Sigh. Ambiance is dark inside like a pub. It would look more modern and family friendly with more natural light. As most would expect out of a restaurant. We came here during a World Cup game. The game was on. That was a plus We were thinking of coming back to order the family pack. Then no one at home would charge me extra for the salsa. ha!! I read just now in another review that this place charges for hot water. Ok then, the owners is STRIVING to be the nickel and dime people. Yelpers are talking and people are listening. Do yourselves a favor and reverse these dumb pricing practices. You'll never know the business you are losing for the $2 here and $3 there. It's never worth it!

We normally call ahead to order our food, and it'll take roughly 10 - 15 minutes. Service is always solid - the workers are friendly and helpful. We normally get the carne asada/pollo fries and they're awesome. Fries are cooked perfectly (I swear there was a period of time where they coated the fries and that wasn't it, but thankfully they stopped), comes with the usual toppings like guacamole, onions, cilantro, etc. They top it with a hefty amount of juicy meat - both carne asada and pollo options are solid. Recently though I've been straying from fries and getting different dishes like the chicken flautas, enchiladas, and mulitas. Chefs kiss for each one. The rice and beans + salsa combo are also flavorful and pair nicely with the entree.

My plate was loaded, the kind of generous, no‑nonsense serving that tells you they cook with heart, not shortcuts. Every bite had that strictly authentic, home‑style flavor that reminded me of family, childhood mornings, and my grandma throwing down in the kitchen. The spot itself is super casual, eat in or take out, nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. But honestly, the food and the service are the only "decor" this place needs. If you're craving something real, comforting, and made with love, this taqueria delivers. Miguel C.

    If you're cruising through Gardena and craving a small, casual Mexican spot that actually hits,…read moreCocos Tacos is one of those neighborhood spots that reminds you why simple food done right always wins. The vibe is unfussy, the service is friendly in that "we got you, don't worry" way, and the food comes out fast enough to make your stomach feel seen. Man cause we were craving some Mexican food. The wet burrito was the star of my visit, big, saucy, and exactly the kind of comfort bomb you want from a spot like this. The red sauce had that perfect balance of savory and tangy, and the burrito itself was stuffed generously. Every bite was so good, so delicious! And the tacos.....Fire. The homemade tortillas make all the difference, soft, warm, and with that fresh‑masa aroma that tells you they didn't come from a plastic bag. No... no... no! They hold up beautifully to the fillings without falling apart, and they add this subtle sweetness that elevates everything. Chips and salsa were simple but solid. The chips had a good crunch, and the salsa tasted fresh, bright, and not overly blended, the kind you keep dipping into even when you tell yourself you're "saving room for the burrito." "Maybe we were just hungry..hungry huh?" The drinks were honestly refreshing as hell. True Mexican style if you're going to complete the meal....que no? The horchata was creamy without being heavy, with that cinnamon sweetness that makes you want to chug it.The agua de Jamaica was tart, floral, and ice‑cold, the kind of drink that instantly cools you down on a hot Gardena afternoon. Cocos Tacos is exactly what a neighborhood Mexican spot should be, casual, comforting, and consistent. If you're in Gardena and want homemade tortillas, a saucy wet burrito, and drinks that actually refresh you, this place deserves a stop.
