The tortilla was pillowy soft and tasted handmade and not like the usual tacos that we get the Customer Service was really very friendly and they brought the food out to me. They also recommended salsa to me and I loved the chipotle salsa. The Roja salsa is a little bit spicy.

El Monte, we hoped they had outdoor seating bc I had my doggie. The whole place is OUTDOORS!!! Small parking lot but easy street parking. The waitress tipped us to the good value of ordering 1/2 lb of our choice of taco meat instead of individual tacos. We ordered al pastor tho they are known for carnitas. Good Lord!!! The tastiest tacos. With the limes, cilantro , onions on the side. And red and green salsa were OUTSTANDING!! Our Server came by with extra tortillas without our asking, warm!!! The agua Frescas were yummy. They'd given us a great table right by the screen with the DODGERS playing. Andy Pages hit a game-changing homer as we were leaving. Everything was RIGHT !!!! Then, the staff insisted on refilling our agua frescas (already super sized) AND, they gave us a bag of house made chicharrones !!! How did they know that was our dear late Mom's favorite snack ???!!! I joked that we may need to visit Uncle Warren's gravesite on his bday. November is right around the corner !!!

We ordered the Pastor Burrito and placed the order at the counter before finding a seat. The burrito itself came out a bit smaller compared to most burritos I usually get. Flavor-wise, the biggest downside was the strong sour taste, which unfortunately overpowered the overall experience. Even the sauce served on the side had the same sour profile, making it harder to fully enjoy the meal. Sadly, this wasn't the most pleasant burrito experience for us.

My husband works in OC and his coworkers told me they opened one up there so I'll have to check that out, too!

The only thing missing is a free stewed potato but the variety of options offered by Tacos Xaam make up for it, in my opinion. They're not there on Mondays though, last time I checked. Instead, a different taco group takes their place on Mondays so keep an eye out. Tacos Xaam tend to have a large firespit for their pastor, a bbq grill for their asanas, and a large flat top grill area, along with a steaming container area. Basically, if they're not taking up at least 9 yards of the sidewalk length for their whole setup and they look small, it's likely not them.

Solid 4.5 stars You know how you always see so many taco trucks or stands on a main street? Do you ever stop by all of them and check them out? No need, I am the one who eats. My goal is to try all the taco stands in Los Angeles. Located in front of an El Monte Numero Uno market and CVS, this is one of my new finds and definitely one that I would eat at every week. Their style is like a blend of Tj and traditional taco stands. This is their setup: charcoal grill only for asada, pastor spit, stewing pot, vast condiments stand (incl. guacamole), and auga frescas. Asada is grilled nicely and retains so much flavors despite I didn't get a freshly grilled batch. If it retains grilled flavors and stays juicy after sitting in the steam bath containers, it must be seasoned well and the right cut of beef was chosen. Pastor is nicely seasoned and not that greasy. They sometimes will give you pineapples but it is still good without it. I wished it was sweeter and a bit more meat juicy but I can't fault their pastor because it's beautifully cut and roasted. Goes really well with grilled onions. Cabeza is tender and already seasoned; good amount of meat and fat (albeit more fat, makes it juicier) makes it perfect for two tortillas. Tripas is good; it may not have the best flavors but it is nicely stewed, grilled right, and tastes clean. They use store-bought tortillas but don't fret, all the flavors are there. They use the stewing meat pot's (cabeza, buche, tripas) oil to season their tortillas for grilling. Their dark red salsa is seriously perfect :D nicely roasted chiles smoke flavor combined with a thick savory consistency makes it perfect for any meats. Not too spicy to be unenjoyable but enough to make you want more. The workers told me it's a blend of arbol chiles. This is one of the best salsa I've had at taco stands. Guacamole salsa has a decent amount of avocado with the right acidity, saltiness, and creamy texture. Again, goes well on any meat. The fact that they let you scoop this yourself makes the $2 a bargain. Salsa verde is good; high acidity (I like) and a good tomatillo flavor makes this a good choice for those who enjoy a mild salsa (it's on the upper end of mild). The orange salsa (taquera) is spicy! Good smoky flavors and only a few drops are needed for a nice burning kick. I need to come back and try rest of their meats (I always get their asada and pastor every time) because I keep getting what tastes good even though I should try the rest :) Their quesadillas and alambre portions are HUGE especially if you order multiples. Give this place a try and tell me if I'm wrong. I eat tacos every week and typically drive to South LA for my likings, but this place is winning my emotions. This is the upper echelon of $2 tacos in SGV.
