They raised their prices recently. Tacos were $2 before, but now it's $2.50. Not the best news, but most likely won't stop me from coming back.

There isn't many taco or mexican place options on this stretch of SGV. We ordered a few tacos, a quesadilla and carne asada fries. Everything was as good as I remembered. They accept credit cards but there is a fee for using it. $2.50 per taco is a steal nowadays. I can't remember how much the Quesadilla was. Carne asada fries were $10. It's not as big as other places but it can still feed 2 people at least.

Tried out Secret Tacos, although I noticed the green truck is now named Tacos Los Poblanos…read more I ordered the carne asada and pastor tacos. The carne asada was definitely the highlight as it had a nice char and plenty of flavor. The wait was a little longer than expected, but I went during peak dinner time, so that's understandable. The pastor was a little weaker flavor-wise and didn't stand out as much as the asada. Overall, a decent taco spot with the carne asada being my favorite.

But the tortillas are definitely handmade and the service gets an A+ Very friendly and family feel ambiance. There is also outdoor and indoor seating

Simple fast Mexican food. Ordered the #3- Cheese Enchilada…read morecombo plate. It was good. But I'd say a 4 star, not 5, because it was lacking the rich red sauce I am accustomed to. More mild red, not really red enchilada sauce I'm accustomed to. And the cheese wasn't fully melted through, but the plate was hot, so maybe they figure it will melt eventually. They were nice and greeted me upon arriving and their simple salsa bar had 3 choices and some picked carrots and onions. The horchata was good. A quick affordable meal, nothing fancy, but a nice casual meal.

This is small mom and pop shop where you literally see the couple (el señor y la señora) behind the…read morecounter and kitchen area. We ordered for pick up and had: - macho fries (they were pretty darkly fried but very soggy even though picked up within 15 mins -- they throw refried beans on them so not great if you really wanted carne asada style fries) - FISH tacos - YES I'd come back for these at $2.50 a piece - they were still crunchy by time I got home 5 mins later and had plenty of flavors - good price, - lengua burrito - lady never said the price but burrito was OK, just rice and lengua - steak combo plate - flavors were ok - macho burrito - they got this wrong bc we didn't want wet burrito but they did it anyways :( -- this was quite SALTY. OVERALL - if you're really hungry and need basic food, some dishes are better than others. I think it was OK to try this out but still going back to my old time favorite Mexican restaurant. Mom and pop -- especially mom is funny and has sense of humor. Indoors they have a few tables and they have TV playing soccer games too. They accept credit cards.

I just found another of my favorite mexican restaurant in San Gabriel…read more The place is small but cozy, the service is ok since only one person is serving but she is nice and respectful but the food, OMG it is soo good . I usually dont eat the chips before the food but this ones are soo good that we finished soon, they made it right there so they are hot and a little spicy but not much. The plates are big, you can even share or take home if you dont finish but the taste is good, we love it. I have tried garlic shrimps, enchiladas suizas, torta de pastor y sopes and really like everything. The only thing you need to be patient because they made the food when you order, but in the meantime, you can play lotería since they have the cards on the tables

Parking in the back Takes credit care with $1 fee…read more It's a one man show, only one guy working, cooking, bussing, and dealing the cash. So the service is slow. But the food is pretty good taste Monday special- pupusa- revuelta and frijoles and cheese ($1.75) Wet burrito with pastor- large portions. Green sauce is super good. Choose your meat and al pastor meat is decent Enchiladas and with Chile relleno ($17.99)- Chile relleno was very good. They use a large pepper, and cooked well enough so the pepper is soft. The green and red sauce is really good. Pupusa- really good. Soft exterior but has a little texture.

Pepe's Alhambra is always reliable for a solid and affordable meal. Located on busy Valley Blvd,…read moreit's a close jaunt to the 10 Freeway as well as nearby other venerable Alhambra establishments. There's both a drive-through (may be a bit confusing for first-timers) as well as outdoor picnic-style tables (maybe 6-8 or so?) if you'd like to enjoy the sights and sounds of Alhambra while you dine al fresco. They offer combo plates, a la carte all for a great price. Service has always been pleasant and friendly. They sure do hustle inside...it might be a few minutes until you get your order...but patience is key, it'll be worth the wait! I usually opt for their taco salad (chicken)...it will keep me full for awhile and then some. Yay for Pepe's Alhambra. There's also a Temple City location about 20 mins away, depending on traffic.

My daughters and I loved this place. It's a distance from us so we don't come here often anymore…read more Today I took the drive to get some food and it's not that good anymore. I don't know what's going on with their quesadillas but it was rolled up like a burrito and so salty. They used to put them in a container with sour cream and guacamole. I will not come back anymore for mid food.

I have eaten at many vaunted taquerias such as San Francisco's La Taqueria and North Hollywood's Birrieria Familia Castro (Yelp ranked best taqueria in the U.S.). But the five (!) tacos I had at Ixmota topped those. I planned to have three tacos, but liked them so much I had to have more. I plan to load up a car with a bunch of friends to come back here to sample what I have not yet had on the menu. Be sure to check out the "secret menu" taped to the window. Plus, they play cool Spanish-language goth/dark wave music on their speakers. No internet hype (yet), no line out the door (yet), but this place deserves all that and more. I can't believe my luck.

There was definitely more chicken than beef, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The meat was cooked okay a bit dry and it came with everything you'd expect from a standard fajita plate.

I always order to go so I can't tell you too much about the atmosphere or the interior, but it looks like a typical burger shop converted to a Mexican restaurant.
