    Taco Tuesday
    Sandy K.

    Kinda crazy, I've lived in Whittier for 27 years and recently discovered this pop up taco stand. Depending on the day of the week the stand will be at various parts of Whittier Blvd east of the 605 freeway. The stand opens at 6:00 pm and closes later 11:00 pm. Expect long lines especially later on in the evening and on weekends. The stand is closed on Wednesday's. The flavor of the grilled meat is yummy since it's cooked over charcoal. They offer pork ribs, torta's, burritos and the soft tacos are made with fresh handmade corn tortillas. Condiments include grilled peppers, cilantro, onions, guacamole and tasty salsas. Only con is that there are no tables or seats - so you ll need to tailgate or go to a nearby park. Prices are reasonable and the quality and portions are generous. This is surely the best street taco stand locally and the entire staff are eagar to assist you with friendly service. Be sure to leave a gratuity in the tip jar.

    Carne asada and Chorizo Semita

    Excellent dining experience! If you want great tasting tacos and semitas (tortas) then come on by! Although the line tends to be long (with a reasonably short wait), You can expect hand made corn tortillas, freshly grilled meats, and salsas along with VERY generous portions and reasonable prices! This is a take-out only location (no tables or chairs). By far these are the best tacos in Whittier!!! This was our first time here but not our last! Happy eating, comelones!

    It was so worth it and delicious

    Burrito de asada! It was so good, I will tell everyone I know! Can't wait to go back and get more choices!

    Chorizo and ribs cooking

    This taco spot is fire! Tried the pollo, asada, and pastor tacos and they were all so flavorful and delicious. And to make it even better the tortillas are handmade. Both the green and red salsa are perfect, couldn't decide on one so I put both on my tacos.

    We tried these tacos and a semita tonight and absolutely loved them! We'd driven past the taco stand several times before but our dinner timing was off so we had not stopped. Tonight, we made the drive to the west end of town JUST for these tacos. We had to try an assortment because we wanted to taste most of their tacos. The tortillas were freshly made and topped fully with meat. I like my tacos with onion and cilantro, no guacamole sauce. I added red salsa to my al pastor and asada tacos. Tasty salsa with enough of a kick. Loved the mesquite taste in the asada. The chorizo paired perfectly with the green tomatillo sauce. We also had sliced cucumbers, radishes and the pickled purple onion with habanero. The latter burned my mouth a bit but I'll eat it again! Ha ha! We had a fourth taco with costilla - norteño style grilled pork rib - but only tasted the meat and it was delicious. We were too full. This will be a shared snack tomorrow. My fiancé had a chorizo and asada semita which he LOVED. He had the taquero add red salsa and he also ate some of the pickled onion-habanero mix. They don't sell drinks, which we found out once we were there. I wonder if it's to discourage people from lingering in the area because their lines are already long enough and go around the corner. We ate our food in the car and returned home to have a cold beer. We will definitely be back!!! Give them a try!

    Al Mequite Tijuana Style Tacos. They grill most of the meat (Asada, Chorizo, Chicken, Costillas) with the exception of Apastor which is cooked on a Trompo. Unlike most of the Tijuana Style Stands near by, you can add the toppings yourself (cebolla, cilantro, salsas and GUACAMOLE) On Taco Tuesday all Tacos are $1.00

    Best Tijuana's tacos ever. Fresh meat and homemade tortillas. Quesadillas are big and love their pastor and costilla tacos.

They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

We came here because my cousin DJSP was the featured DJ this Sunday, so I did my Yelp research and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect because the most recent reviews were a couple of months old, no recent food photos and menu photos were outdated. However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Well I received the flautas (which were very tasty) but they were BALD. There was about one tablespoon worth of guacamole on the side. And a tiny little pinch of lettuce. I immediately asked the waitress if it was missing the toppings, and she said "yes it's missing sour cream." She left and came back and said there was no more sour cream. A Mexican restaurant without sour cream? Oh! really wish I would've known that before ordering because, like I said, I love my flautas drenched in toppings. I would've ordered something else had I known there was no sour cream. I requested some extra guacamole to make up for the lack of sour cream. With guacamole and the salsa that comes with chips, it still tasted pretty good but my heart was wishing I had sour cream and tons of cheese. It was definitely a tasty meal but was a HUGE miss on the lack of toppings, which is what I crave when I order flautas. I've never seen flautas look so sad and lonely. The rice and beans were okay. Not too bad not too good. Just ok. It's a shame the restaurant is super beautiful but the food doesn't really seem authentic.
