A little known spot and to be honest I kind of like that . It's a local spot in the city of Southgate with no fake gimmicks . If you are looking for authentic Mexican food go no further . I came in for a burrito and decided to try the wet burrito and it was delicious . I also had a pork and chicken tamale and have to say it's amazing . This place food is good. Now the decor is simple and nothing fancy but oh is it delicious ! read more

La Taquiza Restaurant - Burrito (dry) - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Been coming here for a few years now but never really posted a review. The only reason we come here is because of the California Salad it is actually pretty good, I get mine with asada and add extra toppings from the salsa bar like pico de gallo, guac, red and green salsa The place is not too loud, they have music playing in the background, it has a lot to choose from for a quick fix of Mexican food and the prices are pretty decent compared to other places around for about the same type of food but here it seems as if its a tad bit better quality. The reason I gave it three stars is the same reason as the previous reviews, the bad attitude as soon as you walk in you dont even feel welcomed, you feel like you are bothering the staff by bringing them business, it seem like it's mostly the two females Ive encountered, no manners what so ever, no greeting no please or thank you they just stare at you as you order, If you're lucky to get thru over the phone might as well get your food to go other than that the food is good, service definitely needs improvement. read more

One of the worst Mexican restaurants I have had in my life time, no flavor, very bland, just blah. I rather just eat cereal.

My partner and I love to come here. We typically get the lunch specials because it's a great deal. My go to lunch special is the chile relleno plate. Soooo good. So far we've tried a variety of plates, all of them yummy. Salsa bar is stocked fairly well. Spacious seating. Great overall service. After we finish up our meal, we head on over to the bakery next door to grab some pan para el cafecito. ;) read more

La Taquiza Restaurant - Chilaquiles plate. Big portion. I added the veggies on top from the salsa bar. - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

The caldo de pollo soup tasted very old and salty and the portion for the 2 buche tacos could make 1. Very disappointing.

The food is EXCELLENT. The customer service is excellent. The atmosphere is excellent. I ate at the one that was on Figueroa. They closed with the pandemic. If you get a chance GO. GO hungry. You will not be disappointed! read more

The food reminds me of the old Burt tortilla restaurant. I ordered an asada wet burrito. The restaurant was clean and well kept. The ordering was a bit of a wait and to get the food was a normal wait time anywhere else. read more

Right here they have very good food, especially their Menudo and sopa de albóndigas!!! Tamales are delicious as well.... Esmeralda is great and delivers awesome customer service.... read more

Just ate the asada burrito 10/10 definitely the best burrito in my area. Great customer service. Good salsa

Valen pa pura mierda esta cagada q le llaman restaurante. Vine a pedir un tenedor y quierian cobrar para eso. Les pedi una bolsa para unos chiles y me dijieron q no por q solamente compre una pinchi soda. Se pasan de verga como si Les falta condimentos. Menudo mas blando q el culo de mi vieja. Tacos de carne asada mas seca q mis pinchis rodillas. Hasta faltaron la soda q pedi. Por el precio me sirven mejor comida en una taqueria d la calle q aqui. El servicio del guero pendejo corajudo me enputo q ya no me dio ganas a venir aqui. Lo unico bueno lo q tienen es el piso para caminar sobre cagada d ese restaurante read more

The food was bad, been here twice (thought I'd give it a second chance), ordered shrimp fajitas and this is what they look like. These fajitas never touched a grill. Seems like they just boiled everything and threw it onto my plate. They are tasteless even with the included dipping sauce. Will I ever eat here again? Chances of a tornado touching down in South Gate seem more likely. read more

La Taquiza Restaurant - a taco in a styrofoam container - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Great little restaurant in the middle of a strip mall. Definitely would have driven right past it if I didn't already know where it was. It doesn't look like much from the outside (or the inside, for that matter), but the food is delicious. Every now and then we make the drive out here when we're craving tacos. On our most recent visit, he ordered four al pastor tacos, I tried their asada mulita combo (with rice and beans), shrimp ceviche tostada, and a horchata. We got all that for $25, what great pricing. I had never heard of a mulita before (it's like a little quesadilla with your choice of meat and guacamole in it) and it was so tasty. I'm gonna order that every time, instead of tacos! The shrimp ceviche was good - very fresh and tangy. Lots of onions and even avocado on top! All the staff are friendly. We haven't incurred any issues with service in the handful of times we've dined here. Can't wait to go here again! read more

for the cheap price the food is okay, the jamaica is super watered down and they serve everything with a side of attitude! we asked if our table could be wiped down and the lady seemed to be very annoyed that we even asked. the guy at the order here window doesn't answer any question you have on the food! sorry that your menu on the side of the order window doesn't have the prices! would avoid this place since they don't know what customer service is and i can get better tasting food at taco bell. read more

Looking to get some great food food? I've been patronizing La Taquiza since 2004 under its former owner. I really liked the dishes from the first time. So much so I used to plot on how I could have La Taquiza as part of my kitchen and just eat there. The new owner didn't change one thing, taste wise, which is great. You can't go wrong eating here. read more

Bad service. Did not take my order correctly. Forgot to give me my plate of 3 asada tacos and when I asked for them they got bothered and they gave me my tacos 5 minutes later and the meat was not fully cooked. Gave one star just to post comment. read more

Good tamales and menudo that is the only thing I have tried so far but they're good very good

Been coming here since I moved to South Gate in 2011... their menudo has saved me from so many crudas since then. No matter what you crave always take a mulita on the side (I recommend Al pastor). Family owned business that bust their butts to satisfy customers. read more

I bought a chorizo with eggs breakfast and it was burned. They overcooked our food tasted really disgusting

Came in for lunch today. Got the asada nachos and pastor mulita. The nachos were really good. The asada meat had a really good flavor. I recomend your try the nachos. The pastor mulita was average. There wasn't anything special about it. The pastor meat was lacking In flavor. Their prices were reasonable. I'll come back to try something different next time. read more

The female short cashier slammed my credit card on the counter instead of handing it to me. She left right after we got our food so she was clearly waiting to clock out. My shrimp tostada was more like an onion tostada and I'm thinking that was done on purpose since this has never happened there before. The tostadas are usually good except for todWe came home very disappointed, we used to come to la taquiza often but we will not be returning again. read more

You hungry af and craving tacos? La Taquiza is THE spot. Hand made tortillas and delicious ass meat. Some of the bombest tacos around this area. Mulitas are Superb. For my non Spanish speaking folk that is basically a quesadilla with meat inside of it. They add some guac in the mix..... LIFE. Tacos? Nice size and the value is amaze. $1.50/taco. I don't even ask for a number of tacos anymore. I just look in my purse to see how much money I got. Sometimes I'm like "Let me get $11.36 in tacos." Service is A1 and I already can't wait to come back. I'm hungry again :( read more

La Taquiza Restaurant - Can't beat this price and taste! - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

I'm not seeing what others are seeing here. The Asada is different than most taco places, it seems of lower quality and their salsa both red and green have no spice or flavor... They also forgot my pastor tacos but I'm gonna go give this place another shot because others seem to love it and I just might have a gotten a bad order read more

Today's lunch! Since I work in south gate I'm think the heart of Mexico! I've tried all sort of places but this place has yet to disappoint a hungry Aidan girl who lives mexican food! I've had their pozole, chicken & asada tacos, wet burritos, mole tacos, mulitas, sopes enchiladas, beans and rice! So delicious! For this price you can go wrong! Mexican food made with fresh ingredients and the correct and balance mixture! I mean their salsa is on point! Love it read more

I wanna give them 5 stars because I gave coming all year about at least 1 times a week for my favorite sopes made homemade and looks like a size of a saucer cup full of your choice of filling. They are delicious flavorful and crispy, well today I am so so disappointed paid the same price for a palm size sope, new cook I dunno know what happen my husband bought them for me so when I came home from work today I saw this sope ate it bcuz I was hungry but question is this the same place? Looked for the side salsa lemons and carrots had to ask my husband hey where r these from? He said yes you notice them right, same place I said oh no this is not our favorite place something is wrong. TEQUIZA, please fix your cook who specializes your once great sopes. read more

First time trying this place. They were super quick. I bought a burrito de asada. Tasted 4/5 that's why I gave it 4 stars. They cut it in half like I asked but it needed the cilantro y cebolla for me. I will be back to try some pozole hopefully it doesn't disappoint. Salsas were good! read more

Came here on Sat. with my pops. Ive lived in this city for ever, and realized ive never heard anything good about this place. So my dad was buying and he suggested this place. So i said, hell, why not. First thing i noticed, yes they take credit cards and yes, they have an A at the door. So were good to go on that end. Now as we walk in the place, its pretty packed. So im looking over the tacos and dishes they offer, and notice that the tacos here are 1.65, which i thought were pretty pricey. So we ordered 2 tacos de lengua (tongue), 2 de al pastor (marinated pork meat), and the last 2 de asada (grilled steak). So as we wait for our tacos, we ask one of the waitresses to clean one of the booths that was open. She did. As I went to get our tacos, i notice the tongue tacos were very meatless, and mine were ok. Usually im used to having my tacos served on those two small tortillas per taco, but these only had one. Now they have a station were they have every condiment you could think of to put on your tacos. Which i then headed over and began to prepare my tacos. So my dad said the lengua was ok. My asada was ok, and the Al Pastor tasted like chorizo. All in all, Ive had better. Would i come back here to satisfy my taco craving, uh, NO. I will add, most of the people here did seem to be eating full plates of food, so maybe they make better plates as opposed to tacos. read more

This place had a bunch of great reviews so I had to try it. The restaurant definitely fell short. I went in there to get a to go order and everything looked pretty standard so I decided to go with a taco de mole and a burrito de al pastor with everything. The person who was at the register, the guys name unfortunately didn't appear on the receipt, really bummed me out. I felt deflated after he took my order. It is hard to put in words because I don't want to insult the guy, but pretend that your significant other picked up and left. Now imagine you worked in the customer service industry and how you would be acting at work. That is how this guy was acting. Since I got the order to go I hit up the salsa bar to get the condiments to go with my order. I noticed that they had the little containers for the salsa, but no tops. The guy at the register called me back to pick up 3 tops and 2 little bags for jalapenos, pickled onions, etc. I personally am not a fan of a place that limits you on your condiments ESPECIALLY when the containers are the small ones. None of the 3 salsas that were available were spicy. They had great flavor, but didn't have any kick to them. I got what I could and after my order was done I happily was on my way home to eat. The mole taco was really good, but for $1.50 they could have given way more bang for my buck. The burrito was good and I would love to tell you that the al pastor was good, but the burrito consisted mostly of rice and beans so I am not 100% sure how good the meat it. I wish the reviews would be more critical and not quick to give a place 5 stars, but you eat and you learn. read more
