    I stumbled here randomly on my lunch break while I was at 711 next door so I decided to give it a shot. I was welcomed by the friendly owner whose name is Garo very nice guy. I ordered 4 tacos 2 asada and 2 pastor and each taco had an amazing taste one after another. The place was very clean and maintained along with the salsa bar and the food was great. I'll definitely be back to try the burrito next time.

    Don't let the small parking stop you!!! It's a great location to stop in and grab some Burritos and Tacos. They have plenty of seating and always something eye catching on the TV. They get your order correct every time and mark it to let you know what's in each container. Their service is amazing will continue to visit this location!! They got great Salsa, give you grilled green onion and have the best bean and cheese burritos. Cannot get enough!!

    Tucked away in a small shopping plaza on lassen desoto, a nice little hole in the wall Mexican food place. Usually get a carne asada combination plate. $17.47 after tax but it's worth it as you get bang for your buck. The owner is really nice. Food is good.

    Fast Taco is a small Mexican grill that sits at the corner of Lassen and De Soto in Chatsworth. It is located in a small strip mall. Inside one finds two round tables and wall side sitting areas, all of which have bar stools. This small restaurant is very simple, and it also has a salsa bar. All the salsas and condiments are prepared fresh in house ever day. The owner told me he has had this business since 42 years. I ordered two carne asada tacos upon entering and was told that I would also get complimentary chips. This is the first time I was never asked to pay after ordering at a counter. After sitting at my table with the chips and helping myself to the Rojo and Verde salsas I began to eat. Soon, the carne asada tacos arrived. And let me tell you, there was a lot of meat there. It comes with cheese (just a little for me), avacado and scallions on the side. I added chopped white onions to my taco and ate it with the salsa rojo (my favorite). The carne asada was prepared well and the tacos were good. Scallions could have been grilled more for char and better flavor. A few minutes after I began eating, I realized that I had not paid and went up to the counter saying so. The manager said I could do it later, gesturing for me to go back to my table. Service here was warm, courteous and very friendly. The manager was most polite and made you comfortable the moment you walked in and till you walked out. A very comfortable setting with high marks for pleasantness. This was a good find for me. Go give it a try.

    Chicken Tacos

    First I would like to say the STAFF is AMAZING!!!! My chicken tacos were very dry and they forgot my cheese. Some of the pieces were very hard I couldn't chew it. I prefer limes in stead of lemons. The restaurant is very clean and the staff was so nice I will give them another try! We will see.....

    Carne asada burrito. Really good!
    Betty H.

    I'm so glad I tried this place, I never even knew it existed considering it's hidden in 7 eleven parking lot. I only discovered it from yelping. The carne asada burrito is legit! I'm impressed and will be returning for sure! They even give you free chips and salsa unlike some places.

    Carne Asada Combo Plate

    Always looking for a good Mexican food place, there are many around of course, but not all good. Fast Taco is one of the good ones out there, this was the first time we checked it out. I must say the positive reviews hold up. The staff was very friendly, I believe the owner was the one who helped me, very nice Guy, seems genuinely happy when working with his customers. Gave me plenty of containers for salsa, cilantro, Onions, etc. all the plates were clearly marked and he made it a point to recap everything, give me a big container of Salsa and a big bag of chips with my order. Thank you. We got a Pollo Burrito combo, an Asada Burrito Combo, a Two Taco combo with Carne Asada and a Carne Asada Plate Combo. All the combos come with Rice, beans, salad and sour cream. (The Carne Asada plate also come with guacamole . The Burritos also have guacamole added to them. The meats were flavored perfectly and the rice and beans were tasty, we were very full with food to spare and happy. Everything tasted excellent! I loaded up on the green salsa, nice and spicy. They also have a nice red salsa that had some spice and sweetness to it and another red salsa that has a great Smokey flavor. I loved them all. Also packed away some cilantro and radishes, everything was great. One tip I forgot to add, this is a "Cash Only" spot, so many people don't carry cash these days, so make sure you grab some before going. Enjoy!

    Is it cash only?

    No they take credit card and cash must try place is delicious highly recommended

    When will this place open again? Dying for their quesadillas & burritos

    THIS MONDAY !!!! 1.27.2020

    So just wanted to update ya'll.. they arent open and will be opening maybe sometime mid February 2019 😭😭. Anyone tried the Santa Monica location?

    Just drove by this past Saturday 12/28/19 and looks like they advanced heavily and will open soon. I have no ETA on when but should be early 2020.

    Ok, I'm dying for their nachos. Once I was in there and heard the boss talking about some place in Simi. Anyone know if the owners have another location to tide me over until they (please Lord) reopen?

    There's another Fast Taco in Santa Monica on Ocean Park run by another branch of the family. Food is very close in flavor and quality.

    Anyone know if they relocated or just closed? :(

    I placed a call to the number on their menu and here on Yelp and spoke with one of the owners. He told they would be reopening in 5 months, so hopefully in November.

    Whats the Sq ft?

    I'll take a tape measure with me next time I feel like getting a burrito

No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too. I would come back, but ONLY for those oysters--definitely not for the service.

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.
