Background On Visit: Stopped by to get a quick snack before I played pickleball nearby. Credit Cards: They're accepted. It would be nice if the staffer told me that there is a $0.49 surcharge. Restroom: Restrooms are available. Location/Parking: Located in a strip strip mall between Laurens Ave. and Maine Ave.. Shared parking can be found in the front of the shop. Ambiance/Decor: Hole in the wall type of shop. Doesn't look modern like other Taco Nazo's. I guess this shop focuses on authenticity. There's music being played inside the shop. You might have a hard time hearing your number being called to pick up your food. Order Of Operations: 1) Order at the register 2) Find a seat 3) Once your number is called, go up to the pick up/condiment section and get your food. Service: Service was alright. Food came out at a decent time. The staffer behind the register was friendly and offered great suggestions. Food Of Choice: 1) Fish Tacos: Fish tacos were great. I was quite happy that the fish was a decent size and they load up the taco quite nicely with all the fixings (cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and some white sauce) 2) Bean and Cheese Burrito: Burrito was quite cheesy! It was nice eating it with the green sauce. El Taco Nazo For Thought: I would mind coming back to get more fish tacos. read more

I went here thinking it was the same restaurant as Taco Nazo. It is not, but they say it's the same family. I found it was good, but nowhere near as good as Taco Nazo. It wasn't bad at all, but Taco Nazo is spectacular. Service at Taco Nazi is also better. read more

Dined in for lunch on 1/21/26 at 12:30 PM. It wasn' busy. Parking: Plenty on the side or in front Food: 1. California Burrito - 3/5, too wet for me. I am not used to a super wet burrito. Usually they mention if it is. I wish there were a little more fries but that is just my preference. 2. Fish Tacos - 3.5/5, they loaded these tacos up!! Fish was fried and fresh, but the downside was too much sauce. I wouldn't recommend. Price: California Burrito costs $14.00 and the fish tacos cost $2.99 each since it was a weekday promotion. Overall, I would come back and just get when they are known for! I ordered the shrimp burrito before and it was bomb! read more

Use to really like this place - rarely eat in. But when we order take out there is always something wrong with our order. Their shrimp and their papa tacos are the best. The Baldwin Park location just makes too many mistakes on our take out orders. read more

Ordered to-go and waited less than 10 minutes for 3 burritos and fish tacos. Super delicious carne asada and fish tacos Salsas are great as well read more

This place has really good food overall. All their tacos and burritos are excellent. Nachos were good, nothing special. I'm a big carne asada nachos guy too. read more

We stopped at this spot as it came highly recommended for their fish tacos. I tried two fish tacos and one shrimp taco. The fish tacos were really good! They definitely reminded me of the tacos I've had in Ensenada. The shrimp taco was ok, but I wouldn't get that again. I would get another fish taco instead. My daughter had two Al Pastor tacos and she liked them, but they weren't my favorite. The service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and seemed to be genuinely happy that we were there! I would recommend this spot for sure! read more

I grew up going to this place on a regular basis during Lent for fish Fridays and going back as an adult it tasted just as good! The fish tacos are always the thing I recommend people to try, along with their agua frescas -- I'm impartial to their jamaica! The staff is always welcoming and eager to serve you. There is plenty of seating to enjoy your food there, which you will once you smell it! read more

Tacos were great. Problem lies with the front of house. They served us a cup of beer while we were sitting and of course, thinking it was for us, we drank it. Then they realize THEY messed up on their table orders and decided to charge US for the beer. This was their mistake and still decided to charge us for it and BLAME US for not "being honest". How do you blame the customer when your staff was who messed up? We were having a rough day as it was and it seems like the blonde lady with botched lips was as well given the way she handled the situation. We paid for the drink to avoid causing a scene, but looking back, we should have just left. read more

My mom was at a doctor appointment and asked me to pick her up. She asked if I can take her to grab something to eat and SHE picked Taco Nazo. She lives in Baldwin Park and we were in Baldwin Park so I asked, "in La Puente?" No right here and pointed to this El Taco Nazo. Huh, I didn't know Taco Nazo had a place here? Well it's not. I kind of started to suspect it when I didn't see some of the specials I am used to seeing at the LP or La Habra Taco Nazo. I can't imagine why there are so many Taco Nazo copy cats. I go to Tijuana regularly and they have a knock off there too but all meats, no fish. Why put yourself up to a standard you are not going to achieve. Anyways, she picked this place and ordered two fish tacos. They did NOT look like I was expecting and while they were OK, it isn't the standard that I thought I was signing up for. The tacos were cold. We were surprised how fast they came out. Like we ordered them, sat down and they are on the table. Now we know why. She was not happy but let me just repeat, SHE asked to come here. She did tell me how delicious some of their other dishes are. I would have to see it. It's not that this place is bad but you state that you're Taco Nazo and your NOT. So the expectations are there but they don't achieve the same standards. read more

Excellent customer service. Especially from Isidra, very attentive employee. I will definitely come back again.

Place is a decent little hole in the wall. The food is actually good. They put a lot of shrimp. Very little Avacado so you might want to take your own Avacado . The buckets of beer $35 for six. The fish tacos are pretty decent size. The atmosphere is very clean. They have a live singer.. He's the cook.! But he does have an awesome voice. And if you want chips and salsa, you're gonna have to buy them.. services pretty quick. It is very fresh.. my to go place for cocktail, just don't forget the avocado. read more

I was recommended this place by a coworker so decided to give it a try. Didn't know that they were known for their fish tacos and thought we can get a deal since it was Taco Tuesday. Unfortunately, fish tacos were discounted on Wednesday but I still decided to try a fish and chicken taco. Parking was easy as there's parking in the front or a lot nearby. The place itself reminded me of an old diner- with images of famous old men lined up against the wall. There were fake flower props for each table which I thought was lovely. The waitress was nice and let me practice my Spanish and was patient with my ordering. The tacos themselves were soft shelled and pretty thin, kept breaking and falling apart in my hand as I tried to eat them. The fish taco was definitely delicious and well fried. The chicken taco, on the other hand, wasn't great and the chicken itself tasted cheap. Overall I'm glad I tried but probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

I got invited out to eat and my group really wanted to come here so I decided to give this restaurant another shot to see if it improved, but unfortunately, this dining experience was much more terrible than the other. I ordered a carne asada burrito and every single ingredient in the burrito was extremely bland. The beans had no flavor, the rice was mushy and tasted like nothing, and the meat was flavorless and a grey color. Absolutely disgusting! The tortilla was cold too and not even heated up whatsoever. The entire burrito tasted like nothing. It was just a bunch of unnecessary chewing. I had to drown it in a chile to make it somewhat more edible but not even doing that saved it. It's basically a $1 quality burrito that they try and sell you for almost $11. Absolutely insane!! I don't know how you can call yourself a Mexican restaurant but mess up even the most simplest Mexican foods. Especially the most basic things such as rice and beans. At that point, you have completely failed in my opinion. The only redeeming quality of this place is an older friendly lady who usually works at the cash register. But there's another younger waitress who is extremely overconfident and flirtatious with the male customers. She acted this way at my table and even at the tables in front and behind me. She will do this even if she sees females sitting there accompanying the men. I assume she probably acts this way to try and get tips $$$$ but nevertheless it is very uncomfortable and distasteful to witness. Just something to be prepared and watch out for if you ever bring your man with you lol. Disgusting food with a side of flirtatious behavior. What a treat! read more

Not the greatest. Kinda wished i went across the street to King Taco TBH. I got a shrimp burrito, carne asada burrito, 2 fish tacos, and a Jamaica. Food came out in about 8-10 minutes. Everything tasted bland except the Jamaica. Jamaica was $6, shrimp burrito $13.99, asada burrito $10.99, and 2 fish tacos about $7.50. About $40 bucks later... I wished I had gone somewhere else. Shrimps were extra salty, no flavor in the asada. Fish was just mediocre. You had to drown everything in salsas to make it tasty worthy. The inside ambiance was clean and organized with plenty of seating. Customer service was straightforward. Lots of parking...it was just the food that won't bring me back. read more

U are better of STREET TACOS read more

Fish tacos are BOMB. Perfectly fried tender and juicy fish, shredded cabbage, a delicious crema, topped with tomato and cilantro (unless you're anti-cilantro like me). It's a family owned establishment and they treat their customers like family too. You will be greeted as soon as you walk in, even though you pay at the counter they will bring your food to you and any sides and salsas you'd like. My husband was born and raised in BP and has been coming here his entire life, he says it hasn't changed a bit and feels like home. Bonus: the fish tacos are $1.00 less on Wednesdays! read more

My friend is from this area and suggested we go here for lunch. This place was sooo good. Everything we ordered 10/10. I ordered a michelada, shrimp taco, and the cheese enchilada combo. The michelada was HUGE, I almost couldn't finish it but it was so delicious. The shrimp taco was also great! Stuffed with fried shrimp and topped with shredded cabbage (which I really enjoyed) and a pico. Loved the cheese enchilada combo as well. The red enchilada sauce had at lot of flavor and wasn't bitter. Rice & beans again such good flavor. Oh! I really enjoyed the grilled peppers they had at the hot sauce bar. I've never seen that at a taco place before. Next time I'm in the area I am defiantly stopping by again. read more

Had the carnitas tacos. Lots of meat, no doubt, but I have had carnitas meat that is much more tender and better flavored in many other similar Mexican food restaurants. The pineapple juice was delicious. Carnitas were disappointing, very mediocre in our opinion. read more

Food: is disgracefully awful no where near what it started out as Service: no one is paying attention to what they are doing, I asked for a diet coke, got regular coke, asked for no cream on tacos, watched the cook smother them in cream so I stopped him. Ambience: music too loud, cook thinks it's his own karaoke bar. Complete waste of time and money to leave a bad taste in your mouth. read more

Passing through I noticed the sign and assumed it was Taco Nazo! Parking is hard to find- I went in and immediately this unhoused man approached me asking for money to help with a burial- he went to everyone in line asking for money and even went up to the counter as someone was ordering their food. Finally one of the staff came over and asked him to leave- it was late at night - I wasn't too familiar with the area so it was an awkward situation. I ordered 1 fish taco and the girl taking my order asked me if that was it! No drink? I replied no! As I waited a woman (employee) almost knocked me down rudely moving in front of me to get orders from cooking area. Everyone seemed on edge. After I received my tack I went to my car to eat. There were 2 small pieces of fish and the dressing they put on it was mostly mayo.. nothing like the other TACO NAZO restaurants.. I won't be visiting this El Taco Nazo place again- read more

Shrimp burritos are the best hands down and the micheladas sayless you guys need to try these items

As far as the great service I could not give more than a one star!! I was told not to go back but I wanted to try again for myself due to the shrimp tacos being so tasty!! Well everyone was right!! The tacos were just I can't even explain!! They used to fry the shrimp with amazing batter and now it's just soooo blah!!! I'm so disappointed and I will sadly not go back!! It is sad that places that were known for such good food downgrade so badly to the point where a customer is lost now!!! Just terribly disappointed with my most favorite item on the menu! Wasted money for sure!!! And it was so hot inside the restaurant!! I mean come on!! We pay money to have a good experience and that made it even worse!! Was sweating the whole time and I hate that!!! I just don't recommend to be very sincere!! read more

Great food Great service amazing fish tacos love this spot would deff return again and again!

Ensenada style Baja fish tacos are simple and easy but not all are created equally. I have been going to the original location on Valley Blvd in the city of La Puente since the 80's and it never disappoints. Fresh ingredients, hot off the fryer in its golden coat of perfection with creama, Pico and shredded cabbage all bringing the symphony of flavors home to your taste buds. Best know for fish tacos and I support this message read more

I don't live in Baldwin Park anymore, but when I'm in the area I have to stop at Taco Nazo and get three tacos de camarón. Their flavors and atmosphere bring me nostalgia of when I used to frequent this place with my family every weekend. The tacos, tostadas and salsas still taste the same as they did two decades ago. I love that they offer free chiles gueros with lemon pepper. The staff is always kind and quick with our order. read more

Tasty, affordable, and the service is always friendly. My go to in the area for fish tacos.

Had been coming to this place as fix for a good fish taco, since the Taco Nazo in Azusa closed years ago. The ambiance is your classic Mexican restaurant. Now, it's time to a new spot. The service was spotty at best. The cashier, it felt like we were bother her to be there. The server, who turned out to be the owner or manager was hustling getting the customers their orders & cleaning up. The food was meh/mid/below/no bueno. The regular Burrito with Beef/Asada was basically a "Rice Burrito" with Chuck roast, light bean & filler. No cheese or creama/sour cream The fish taco was plain in flavor. Tortillas kinda stale & broke as they were folded. Also no creama. The shrimp cocktail was not so fresh as it tasted of frozen shrimp. And the kicker is the "secret menu" soda fountain drink. Got the Large 32 oz Coke @ 4.99. Their secret menu/not posted policy are Large soda refills are $1 but if you order the medium, you get 1 free refill. Just say one refill only & call it a day. 2 stars for being a local small business. best of luck. read more
