Carnitas burrito with beans and rice. Very large for $12
Steve O.

Weekend hours open 24hrs. Authentic Mexican food from this truck. Glad I stopped by after 4AM on a Friday morning. Great food. Skipped the Mac's today. Had to park on Crenshaw though. No parking lot tonight

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

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.

"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

Dotys Tacos
Dusty R.

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
Emily M.

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

Pastor

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! ^_^

Cabeza tacos - meat was different than usual
Hannah M.

Really disappointed with my experience here. Taco wise, they are 3 star tacos - nothing amazing about it but pretty standard. 1 star knocked down for experience. Went here on taco Tuesday when they were advertising $1.50, no other menu items had prices. I had a large order and got 14 tacos, and carne asada fries. She asked me if I wanted homemade tortillas or regular, no indication they were different prices. I say homemade. She goes to charge my $72.00 which I thought was a high amount, but could not speak up until it was totaled. I try to tell her it should be closer to $40, and she says it's too late, nothing can be done. She says "the homemade is extra of course" when there was no reason for me to assume that. I've been to taco trucks and shops that do homemade standard. Also, I got quesabirria tacos and was given a quesadilla instead, although I specifically ordered tacos. Why I'm thinking the cost was a little more too. I was hoping to bring the tacos home and be blown away to make up for the cost. But they were very greasy, meat wasn't the best, and even though I asked for meat only, the pastor had onions (which meant someone in my family couldn't eat their order.) the homemade tortilla wasn't impressive either and they were fairly small. The salsas though are really good, especially the habanero and the chili oil. Overall, I would be happier if they didn't cost so much. No truck taco should be $3, regardless of homemade. I try not to leave bad reviews often but I felt like she purposely deceived me to get a higher charge. Had they impressed me I would have let it slide.

A roach
Martine W.

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

La Villa Mexican Food Restaurant - Chips and salsa

A friend from church shared La Villa's family takeout special with us, and that's how we discovered…read morethis little gem! We decided to stop in after church and give it a try. The restaurant is small, but we were able to get a table in the back corner. It was a little snug, but honestly, our hunger was more pressing. First up--the chips and salsa were THE BOMB! That salsa was so fresh, flavorful, and had just the right kick. I could have--and pretty much did--drink it. They also brought us a bowl of beans topped with crema, and my kids were practically fighting over them. My husband and kids ordered burritos: two steak, one chile verde, and one chorizo. They were a good size and were instantly devoured, which is always a good sign! I ordered their $11 special: an enchilada, chicken taco, beans, and rice. It was flavorful, filling, and straight-up OG Mexican food. I really enjoyed my entire plate, especially for the price. My only complaint was the noise level. We had a speaker directly over our table, so the music was pretty loud, and the table next to us was a little loud as well. It made conversation a bit difficult at times. But all in all, we will definitely be back! I'm so happy we discovered another Mexican restaurant to add to our rotation. Now, La Villa... I just need that salsa recipe! I need a few cups so I can drink it! I loved learning that they've been around since 1969.

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!

My plate was loaded, the kind of generous, no‑nonsense serving that tells you they cook with heart, not shortcuts.

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.

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.

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.
