I've eaten here a few times. The food is good mostly. If you don't look and talk like them they will leave you feeling like an outsider. It's an oddity. A food truck with no wheels. Or a sort of permanently stationed thing that really isn't a sit down restaurant but it has seating. I don't know what to call it. Parking is pretty much impossible. I returned multiple times and ended up leaving due to nowhere to park. You have to get lucky. Or live in walking distance. read more

I visited this restaurant this week because my friend mentioned something about a ceviche. First of all is super big. It has three different areas where you can order different food when you arrive. You will see the food truck. Go there and order any soup, ceviche tostada, any heavy food. I order ceviche and oh boy! this is the best ceviche I have ever tried for 2026!! The price was another thing that really surprised me since when you bought a bigger size of ceviche can go up to more than $60 to my surprise this place give me a very good deal which I do appreciate. This place has been in my head the whole week, servers are very kind patience and give you a lot of options so you can get what you want, after ordering my ceviche I went inside the restaurant now which is the building and they have one section of only ice cream lollipops oh my God they have three times more options than any other places. If you go around where the tables are outside, you will see a little window where you can order any kind of Agua fresca and other snack snack. please go and visit this restaurant. This is a very unique Mexican flavor restaurant You will be amazed by the variety and the taste of the food. they have plenty of parking lot, but I've heard that they can run out of parking lot since a lot of people can come in and out but most people do order and takeout since this Restaurant do not have an AC. read more

Walking into El Antojito feels like you're entering a telenovela scene where everyone is waiting in line to order from the food truck, and everyone knows your name, even if it's your first time. The staff moves fast, smiles hard, and somehow remembers your order better than you do. Blink too slow and your order will pass you up. It's chaotic in the best "my family is loud but loving" way. This spot is open till 2am on Friday and Saturday. Imagine a place that says, "We're here to feed you, not impress you with mood lighting." It's bright, lively, and filled with the soundtrack of sizzling food, and orders constantly being called. The décor is simple, clean but the vibe is pure Gardena comfort, no pretension, just flavor and vibes. If you have those late night cravings for street food? Oh, it's dangerous. The kind of good where you take one bite and immediately start tearing into the rest with such joy and comfort. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who refuses to let you leave hungry. The flavors slap, the portions are generous, and the tortillas taste like they were handcrafted by angels who specialize in carbs. Oh, how could I not talk about the drinks and desserts, this is something you need to see for yourself, words cannot describe the things they have for that sweet tooth craving. Mmmm, pure heaven!

So close to an area I've driven by often and never stopped by. On the corner, there's a food truck and a small building, only limited parking spots. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, come with an appetite. I got a combination plate, carne asada(beef) whole beans (no pork, yay!) veggies on the side and nice hot corn tortillas, the chopped up asada had a lil too much fat for me, I know some like it. Additionally, I got a shrimp ceviche tostada, nice and fresh, great tasting! If you order for pick up, go inside the small building, not the food truck. And if you want to order, food truck it is, very kind gentleman taking orders. Food was ready in no time and it was lunch time so happy to make they are efficient. They have a nice big outdoor covered seating area, it was a warm day and under that shaded patio was no sweat. Will be back very soon! read more

My kids used to love coming to this place when they were in high school (circa 2015). I recall the food being tasty and the place was always packed. In the last couple of years, the competition for street tacos has gotten fierce. Some street taco stands even make their tortillas on the spot while preparing your meal. Unfortunately, this place hasn't evolved to meet the challenges and match the competition. The food is not bad, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth going out of your way for it. There is plenty of street parking and lots of tables in an open space area. Bring sweaters and jackets if the weather calls for rain or it's cold. The seating area is under the roof but there are no walls to protect you from the wind. read more

The OG spot for authentic, loaded tacos in Gardena I've been a regular at El Antojito for years, and it remains one of my go-to taco trucks in the South Bay. If you're looking for high-quality, authentic street tacos at a reasonable price, this is the spot. Why I keep coming back: * The Tacos: They come 'fully loaded' and are incredibly consistent. I'm picky about my onions, and they are always happy to accommodate requests, which I truly appreciate. * Efficiency: The staff is consistently friendly, and even when it's busy, the food comes out fast. * The Vibe: It's a truck with a casual outdoor seating area, making it easy to grab a quick, fresh bite. * The Bonus: Don't skip the small shop on the same lot they have the best treats. I highly recommend grabbing an elote or a mangonada to round out your meal. If you haven't tried them yet, add this to your rotation. It's exactly the kind of local gem that keeps the neighborhood food scene great! read more

Met with a manager who made things right. I really do appreciate the family that owns this place. Again I never had an issue with the food here just the service. The manager let me know that the stingy salsa employee was talked to about his service. I look forward to the improved service in my future visits. read more

Always forget my sauces,never give lemons when repeatedly asking. Guy confirms it's inside the bag and when I go home it's not. The food is good just not the best service. read more

This tostada de ceviche is hands down the best one I've had in a really long time! I came here around 9:30 pm for some late night cravings for mariscos. I ordered 2 tostadas de ceviche and 2 tacos de al pastor and it did not disappoint one bit! They pack a lot on the tostada and tortilla. The only downside I would say is that it is pricey. Each tostada was roughly $10. I'm not sure how much the tacos were. They served us pretty quickly and there was a lot of people here enjoying some tacos or ice cream. I would def come back! read more

Food is great but make sure you check your order before you leave. They left out 6 tacos. It was my daughter's birthday and I felt horrible that two people didn't get their order. Had to figure out how to make it up to them. It's very disappointing when things like this happen. This is the second time it happens. Other than that, the food is great. They should double check the orders before giving them out read more

It's ridiculous people sitting eating. While they are cleaning the tables moving them around cleaning the floor it's 4pm in the afternoon!. Dust flying everywhere. Can't even eating our food. The smell of the chemicals they use to clean. read more

Food was so amazing I actually levitated off the floor. I've never had such an amazing experience , there's nothing like taking a bite of some fresas con crema from el Antojito. Whoever made the fresas con crema needs to get their peach ate on a daily basis . My best complements to the chef. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE: 0/5 It NEVER fails. The ladies serving the drinks inside are ALWAYS yapping and acting as if they don't have customers. It can be super empty and they just yap yap yap and ignore the customer. I am big on customer service and the ladies serving inside deserve a BIG fat ZERO stars . There was one guy waiting while we were inside and he had been waiting 5 minutes and the ladies never moved to begin to fix his drink which all that needs to be done is pour the pre-made drink into the ice filled cup. SMH! The dismay is how they look at us, customers, as if we are bugging and interrupting them. If you don't like your job, go elsewhere because you chose to work here. So do your job and work. Food: 5/5 Customer service here is 5/5 in the taco truck Drinks: 5/5 Atmosphere: feels a bit sketchy at times but it's almost. Place is always clean. Parking can be a pain. We come at night or during the day. It's 9:20pm right now and there are at least 25 people out here chillin and eating. My stars are based on the service. Otherwise this place would be 5 stars. I've been coming here for years and I don't know what it is with the women that end up working inside the drink area but they all, just ignore customers. It's really disappointing. The elote and treats are great. The drinks are amazing. I want to give 5 stars but it's hard with the continued service being the same year after year. read more

Authentic tacos. My go to order is the tacos de lengua. Within the spot you must also get the aguas frescas. Service is good It's usually busy Friday and Saturday night since they're open late. Area is okay and never had any issues or problems. It's located in between an industrial /residential area. parking can be challenging when it's busy. read more

Quality has gone down. Ordered a shrimp ceviche plate and the plate was literally 80 percent tomato. The tomatoes were not red either they're were brown. I would say this place is a skip on my book. read more

No coman aquí neta que no vale la pena ni la comida ni el pésimo y horrible servicio los que trabajan ahí simplemente no agarran la onda es increíble como unos les paga y se hacen mensos. This place is straight trash!! If you tryna grab a bite outta the dumpster go here. Theyre horrible at doing the only job they're paid at, they don't give you your correct order which is hilarious because in that sense what are we paying for and the managers be hella scary when you call them out they stay all mute on the phone like hello?? Honestly it's kinda on me for returning to such an unprofessional spot with unprofessional people working there, scary cats !! read more

Although few and far between, I've stopped by plenty to see how well it has progressed. The first time I came through, it was just the food truck and a few makeshift seats and tables. Then they had more permanent seating the next visit. They had small stalls of fruit and drink vendors after that, then this last visit... not only a 2nd but a 3rd truck! Wow, this place has certainly expanded! And just like the last few visits, they are still ever so popular. Cuzzo and I came through on a whim because we had a taste for oysters. We also got couple of burritos and ceviche. It has been years, but the quality of food they had then is still the same now. They have remained consistent. (In our sudden hunger-ism when we got home, I forgot to take pictures!) FOOD: 5. Quality and quantity. They were generous with the burritos, one might say an order is good enough to feed two. SERVICE: 4. Above average, service with a smile, and food was ready quick. VALUE: 4. You do get a lot what you pay for! PARKING: Private lot and street parking available. It gets crowded. Plan accordingly. OVERALL: 4.25. I really should make it a point to come through more often and try more new things on their menu. But for now, highly recommending! read more

I've been coming here with my family for over 10 years since it was originally my parents' go-to spot. Unfortunately, today's experience was so disappointing that I can't recommend this place anymore. The food was mediocre and the service was terrible. We usually receive sautéed onions and chilies on the side with our order, but this time they were missing. When my dad kindly asked about it, the staff insisted they had already given them to us which they hadn't. My sister went back to clarify, and instead of helping, the employee made a rude comment: "They must have gotten lost on the way to your table." She was craving them, but regardless, it shouldn't be difficult to simply provide what was missing in the first place. On top of that, they were so cheap they only gave our family of six a couple of napkins. When I went back to ask for more, I was met with attitude instead of basic customer service. After many years of loyalty, this was a really disappointing visit. Next family gathering we're for sure not coming back here ! read more

My sister took us to this place (she would come here often for work) after playing tennis nearby on a Tuesday night- it's open until midnight (though one of the dessert trucks closed early). It's a food truck stop with benches and a parking lot, but there's also street parking. We were starving so I didn't have time to take food pics but I got a mulita (your choice of meat sandwiches between two small tortillas and cheese) with asada and it comes with lettuce, grilled onions, green sauce and other veggies. My sister got the mulita with lengua and an order of ceviche which she loved (note: the ceviche is heavily drizzled with a pinkish mayo sauce so if you're not a mayo fan like I am get it without the crema or on the side). As for the desserts, there are so many to choose from- licuados (milkshakes), agua frescas, paletas (popsicles), flan, other natural juice drinks, and so much more. We ended up getting sandia (watermelon) agua Fresca, the diabetica (green juice for diabetics) and a horchata. All super good! With limited late night food places in the area, I have a feeling we'll be back. read more

This was my first visit to El Antojito and I'm so glad I found them through Yelp! They had great reviews, and even though I was a little skeptical at first since it looked like a food truck, the food quality was amazing. I had the ceviche and tacos -- both were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Came here lastnight, I always heard about this place and live nearby! This is a place that lives up to its name. Antojito in translation means craving. The food truck has delicious tacos and tortas! I enjoyed my Torta de asada and tacos de pastor. If you are craving choco bananas, cuerittos, ice cream, aguas frescas than this is the place to visit. Wide selection of food and snacks for the family to enjoy. read more

2 stars because the food is good but the cooks are rude. I ordered Birria Quesadilla and the guy in the truck said its "seperate"! What a joke right? So if you're planning on getting the quesadilla Birria you might need to pay extra.. Yall grimey for that! Also is it even Birria if it doesn't have consomme? ASKING FOR A FRIEND. read more

This Gardena staple is a must try!! From their seafood to their tacos and even their fresh fruit and aguas frescas this place is worth every penny!! The torta cubana alone is worth the trip. Service is quick and they have a nice covered seating area. Parking is their only down fall but don't let that stop you. Totally worth coming. read more

Customer service is really bad the food take forever to come.. don't recommend their are other places better

Watch out for the young man working the register next to the ice cream. Last night (05/24/25) a friend and I went. There was a little bit of a line and I heard this kid ask my friend did he want his change? Then my total was leaving less than but close to a dollar and he asked if I wanted MY change. I stood to the side waiting for my order and he glanced at me and didn't ask who was behind me BUT did ask the people behind them. Are people that hard up for money these days that they expect people to NOT WANT their change? I don't go to places that have "homeless" out front asking now I have to deal with cashiers asking? Simply ridiculous. read more
