I've passed this spot multiple times and glad to have finally stopped in, on Taco Tuesday no less! For Tuesdays their tacos are discounted, I think almost 1/2 price so it's worth a visit! We worked up an appetite after cleaning out a storage unit so we got 4 tacos and a combo plate to share. You order at the counter and they call your name to pick up when ready so it's very casual. The sauce bar is all self serve too and there's all the heavy hitter sauce favorites. Our favorite was the Lengua combo plate. The Lengua was flavorful and the rice is extraaa flavorful (on the oily side) but soak the oil with the tortilla and you're good. The beans were solid too. The tacos were nice portion sizes of protein on each one. My favorite the birria - even without the sope, it was still packed with flavor and was tender. Price for a brick and mortar seems on par now with other tacos spots in Pasadena. read more

Place was recommended by a friend and it was amazing. I ordered Carne Asada Burrito and it was big in size and delicious. The person at the counter had recommended me the flan, which I did not know what to expect, but it was delicious and sweet. The restaurant inside was very clean and parking was easy. Highly recommended. 5 stars read more

I was craving crunchy tacos and Los Tacos delivered. I ordered a chicken hard shell taco and 2 potato tacos. They have a variety of salsas to choose from so I got one of each. It's kind of necessary for the potato tacos as the potato isn't seasoned but the chicken taco had pretty good flavor. There wasn't really anyone in the restaurant so our order was hot and ready in about 10 min or less. I also noticed that they had breakfast options which I will be trying in the future. read more

Nothing to write home about. The hard tacos were good, but not award winning. The chile relleno burrito was long on promise and short on chile relleno, all beans and rice. Good luck... read more

Hair in my food no one offered me anything other than more food. I damn near finished my food why would I want more. I want to puke cause I'm grossed out. I had to ask for refund instead of them offering it after I said no to more food. Normally enjoy the food and people. read more

Shout-out Los tacos I love you Los tacos. Expensive but idc all love. I got the Saturday special so I got $2 off (love a good deal). Also when I asked for a water cup the cashier slid me a free horchata so I was hyyyype. Great interior, very inviting and cozy. And the food was great, the workers were so nice, no complaints. read more

No wonder this place has 3 stars they should have 1 star after my experience with them. Something as simple as placing an order with the cashier ends up being a disaster, came in for tacos and they messed up my order and I told them about the issue they turn around and laugh about it like nothing was wrong. You guys are just wasting my time. Not the right way how you handle your mistakes. Never again ill tell you in Spanish and English, both languages don't click for you read more

A nice spot in a quaint strip mall. I ordered a Carne Asada Soft Taco, Chicken Soft Taco, and a Crunchy Ground Beef Taco. The food came out in good time and everything was tasty. Nothing was amazing, but it was good. They have a decent salsa bar with about 6 options. 3 Tacos for $17.00 might be a bit steep for some, but there it is. At least they offer 4% discount for cash sales. Not the friendliest service when ordering, but efficient. Los Tacos is nicely decorated and the booths and tables are comfortable. I will definitely return. read more

Los Tacos is my favorite go-to spot, whether dining in or taking food to go. The potato tacos are absolutely amazing -- cooked to perfection every time. Their crispy chicken tacos are also delicious, with chicken that's nicely shredded rather than boiled, which we really love. The rice and beans are consistently excellent, and honestly, everything they serve is very good. It's a fantastic Mexican restaurant that never disappoints. read more

This has been one of my go-to spots for breakfast spots for years. Mh favorite is the huevos a la Mexicana. I felt compelled to leave this review after seeing that the other businesses in the plaza are apparently trying to drive this restaurant to close by claiming almost all of the parking spots in the plaza, going so far as to leave cones in spots for businesses that aren't even open yet. Los Tacos now has only TWO. I think the behavior of these other businesses is shameful if that's what they're up to. Please patronize Los Tacos. read more

Spent a lot of time at Los Tacos years ago when my office was in Pasadena. Decided to swing by today as I was in the mood for some legit Mexican fare. They offer a complete menu. Lots of traditional items. A very nice salsa bar. Service was quick. Parking a breeze in the lot. Prices are affordable, although I bit higher than expected but not a deal killer. read more

Best crispy shredded beef tacos! Food is made quick and there is ample parking. Good when you need some old school Mexican food.

This place was so amazing. The food is so flavorful. The owner came and talk to us. Martha is amazing. Strong never gives up woman. Her late. Husband would be so proud of her. We had the Asada nachos, shredded hard taco and the all meat chicken burrito. Martha gave us her famous flan which was the best I've had in a long time. My husband said he will be putting in weekly orders. Next on the order is the chili Verde nachos! Can't wait to come back. What a great experience and all their salsa are so good. read more

Tasty local spot for Mexican food. The staff is friendly, parking is easy, the food is delicious...I especially love their nachos! They also have a nice sitting area and clean restrooms. The vibe is super casual. read more

Omg this place is so yummy!!!! I had the chili verde tacos and asada as well. The verde was very fresh and just seasoned right with flavor and a kick of spice! Asada could have had more flavor in my opinion but very tender and not tough at all!!! Can't wait to come back! Also this restaurant is very clean like I was shocked how clean even the bathroom read more

The food was delicious and the drinks were refreshing. Service was quick. Nice ambiance with clean Mexican-tiled tables. Definitely try their potato tacos! read more

I'm bewildered on the amount of negative reviews regarding this business. We have to understand as customers to exercise empathy and compassion, and that there are external circumstances, and situations that happen that are beyond our control, and most businesses try to do the best with what they can, and where they are. In regards to our experience, I would say this is one of the top fast-casual Mexican establishments that I have EVER been to! They're always so warm and welcoming! Their menu is extensive but not overwhelming. The carne asada nachos are amazing!! Beyond that, their restaurant is beyond clean. I always see the employees hustling, constantly staying busy, and they truly care about the establishment! We appreciate you! read more

This place is a gem. Small but quaint. Customers order from the counter and pick up meals from the counter. The price point is good. We have been coming to this establishment for many years and their food is consistent. Today, my husband and I ordered chicken nachos 1/2 order and carne asada super burrito. It satisfied our craving. read more

Los Tacos - Carne Asada Super Burrito and Chicken 1/2 Order Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stopped by a few minutes before closing time to grab some food before visiting someone at the hospital next door. The food was absolutely terrible. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and a carne asada taco. Both inedible. The taco was not suitable for a stray dog in Tijuana. Old flavorless oily meat. The bean and cheese tasted like a can of refried beans from the grocery store wrapped in an old stale microwaved tortilla. Everything went into the trash. The cashier was also very unpleasant as the second I walked in she was rushing me to order and seemed annoyed for the order 10 mins before closing. read more

Quality slipping. Family has been going for decades but lately not so good. The carnitas last time were so dry it was like sawdust. I get it, someone has to get the bottom of the container but add a bit of juice to keep it a bit moist. Sorry to say but too many places around. read more

This is our comfort food. It's been awhile since we have been here but the food quality is still on point. We ordered the guacamole and chips, taquitos, and the super burrito. Always taste fresh, great salsa bar, and the guacamole is delicious. Will try and come back more often to this small taco shop in Pasadena. read more

Always and forever my favorite Mexican restaurant. Delicious food, every time. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options, too! Life is short...order the buñuelos! read more

30 years ago I used to go to this place in high school and it was affordable. Now days the prices are ridiculous. $5.50 for a taco??? $16 for a cheese quesadilla with no meat? It's not like you get waited on lol. There's no waitress they have to pay. Mexican food used to be cheap but no more. And this place is leading the way. Totally not worth going to any longer. Get back to your roots read more

i only get the chicken nachos here, they are amazing. tacos are definitely not worth it for the price.

Since when tf did you guys raise your prices?! I swear I was here not too long ago and paid like $12.75 for a combination plate with a horchata small drink every time I go here for my lunch break. Now, it's $14.75 for a combination plate. My whole total came out to $19.57. This is wayyy over priced. Other than the outrageous price increase, the food itself was good. The beans were bland. The rice was decent. The only good thing we're the Al Pastor tacos. Thankfully I asked for green sauce to give the rice and beans some flavor because it was clearly lacking in that department. The staff here are not very friendly and are very short with words. Not the greatest experience. I don't plan on ever coming back again. Farewell! read more

Pretty good! Airy and air conditioned. Food came out quickly. Had the ground beef hard shell taco and a bean and cheese burrito (because I'm still trying to find one like from my childhood) - was a nice dining in experience. Place was clean and there were quite a few people coming in to dine in and take out. read more

First timer to Los Tacos! The restaurant was clean, the service friendly and my crispy tacos, my recommendation, were very well prepared.

The food was authentic. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We ordered #4, #8 Chile vedre and chile relleno plate. The employees were professional and provided good customer service. My hat is off to the chef! The food was delicious. Thank you for a delightful experience. read more

If you want to overpay for beyond subpar Mexican food this is the spot. Ordered simple taquitos and guacamole. The meat had no flavor and there the guac ratio was 50-50 avocado / tomato with zero flavor. I can't believe 3 taquitos came out to $11.85. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Great little spot that never disappoints. Birria gets five stars. Make sure to get the salsa too it's delicious

Came here on the fly for a quick take-out dinner, and honestly, everything was great. Was greeted as soon as I came in. Good options of different Mexican dishes across their menu. I ordered the #8 Chile Relleno and Asada Taco place. Food came out quick, and everything tasted great and full of flavor. A little pricey, but I think it's worth it if you want something quick. Will come back to try other items. read more

Meh!!! Darn it!!! Where do you go for good nachos? It once was here pre-covid. Went in today and ordered a regular no meat and a Carne asada. Ready in a jiffy, look amazing.....but the taste was not FRESH. Blech....old beans, greasy chips, just yuck. Fantastic guacamole and sour cream. A solid 3 stars....and it cost $30 for both plus tip. Not again. Hit me up if you have a killer nacho local. Thank you Los Tacos Bye bye we will miss what was.... read more

I had the 4 soft taco combo with Pastor, Lengua, Chicherron and Carnitas and was I full by the end of lunch. Everything tasted great and I could have had leftovers but ... BTW - the discount for cash was great as I am a Boomer and prefer a minimal digital footprint. read more

I love their crunchy chicken tacos and their salsa. The staff is always very friendly. I like that they accept credit cards, but it's kinda pricey so that's why I gave 4 stars instead of five. read more

The service was completely trash here. We came as soon as they opened and none of the tables were cleaned. We asked the girl to clean the table and literally only cleaned one side, only one time. The girl taking orders has a nasty attitude. Food quality was okay but for price, I've had better. 0/10 recommend. read more
