Taco Pete I love the support our local businesses. Also I had been traveling and I had a hugh craving for Mexican food. I don't really eat Mexican foot outside of Cali I am spoiled. So I drove down, I called them at 7.30 for phone order I know they close at like 8. And I was told they don't take phone orders that close to close I get it fair enough. I get there go to corner to check out "secret menu" and its torn down. I ask about knowbody knows about it. So order no "Secret Menu" and no brisket tocos overall average food and service I am just glad they had Turkey tacos and also ordered a burrito suppreme which hit the spot. Service warmed up a little as I spoke to her so I will give 3.5. read more

I will start by saying I gave this establishment a 5 star because I love coming here, it's a childhood memory for me growing up and it gives the hood fried shell tacos you make at home but don't feel like cooking type. As of May 6th I won't be returning for a while. There was a young lady by the name of Teya M that was printed on my receipt and her attitude was very dismissive and agitated. I tried to lighten up the atmosphere with a little laugh but she continued with negative energy and awkward eye staring. Once me and my fiance received our order there was a huge discrepancy! She made our order how her attitude was, HATE! This was the most disrespectful tacos I have EVER eaten. And facts the owner would never go for this. End of the day, I should've stuck to my gut. We've eaten here over 20 times and the energy I received wouldn't let my spirit rest on this. read more

The Original Taco Pete in Los Angeles is one of those neighborhood spots that instantly makes you understand why locals love it. While visiting family, I casually mentioned wanting tacos, and before I could finish my sentence, everyone excitedly said, "You have to go to Taco Pete down the street and get the shrimp tacos." I drove just a few miles from my cousin's home near the Leimert Park area and found this Black owned gem buzzing with energy. It was close to closing, and you could tell they were still busy, but the team handled everything smoothly. While I waited for my order, a few guests spoke with the owner, who was kind and pleasant, taking a moment to chat with everyone in good spirits. I ordered ten shrimp tacos, and they were everything I hoped for. Crispy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. They were so good that I could have easily eaten three in one sitting without realizing it. The prices were reasonable, the service was friendly, and the food was top tier. Taco Pete clearly holds a special place in the community, and after one visit, I completely understand why. It is definitely a spot I will return to next time I am in Los Angeles, and maybe I will explore more of that hidden menu everyone raves about. read more

Got Taco Pete delivered to the crib from Postmates last night for dinner and it did not disappoint. FYI they have a deal on Postmates where you can get a BOGO deal for the Supreme Burrito and Colossal Burger right now. With a deal like that OF COURSE I took advantage, got 4 items plus tip for $41 bucks. We got the steak burrito and it was full of flavor and meat. Disclaimer, it is not your traditional Mexican burrito unless you order it that way. The Colossal Burger had thick beef part Ty and pastrami throughout which made it hearty. I will eat here happily again with no problem. read more

I liked my beef taco but the ground turkey tacos didn't do it for me. It wasn't flavorful. If I go back I will stick with the beef tacos. Those were good. I think they also had a taco burger so I would like to try that. Everyone working there was polite. read more

I ordered lunch here on April 2 and was extremely disappointed. I got the burrito fries, and the food was cold, basic, and not worth the price at all. They also failed to follow my instructions, which is unacceptable when you're paying for a meal you expect to be made correctly. Nothing about this order stood out in a good way. I highly recommend skipping this place and spending your money somewhere else. read more

So the server taking my order, Anthony gets my order wrong, and if the girl next to him wouldn't have rushed the screen while I was paying, I would have caught his mistake before my order was being made. I show my receipt and say it's not right and the girl making the tacos go say they already started. Okay? I don't eat beef and that's not what I ordered. Bad enough they never answered the phone so I couldn't place order ahead of time and I was coming from San Pedro. Crazy thing even after another worker told them the correct order, the girl wearing black glasses continued to complain and said tacos were already made. Not sure I trust eating food at this point. Sucks because their food is good. They need better customer service. read more

I looove their tacos! Especially the steak and shrimp tacos. They are very tasty, fresh and filling at an affordable price. read more

We waited 20 minutes for a colossal burger and a grilled cheese sandwich. I actually picced the place because it was black owned , wanted to support. The grilled cheese sandwich was on their "secret" menu. The cheese wasn't melted. Also asked for onion rings. Gave me fries instead . Colossal burger was good but not what I ordered . Had to share with my boo Disappointed because a simple grilled cheese sandwich and onion rings was all I wanted . probably won't return ‍ read more

Right off, I love the authenticity of a homemade BLACK taco. From that perspective I enjoy Taco Pete. However, the restaurant has an unsanitary atmosphere. The floors, windows, and soda areas are absolutely filthy. In addition, the staff is...let's say stereotypical. Don't expect a "Thank you", "Have a nice (whatever)", "yes sir/ma'am". read more

We had a decent sized order of 20 tacos, 3 taquitos, 1 kids burrito and onion rings.... Never received the onion rings. I hear it was busy that day so hopefully this was a one time deal. Food was good and I am open to changing my review. read more

Always gonna grab some OG Taco Pete when I'm in the area! The last time I was here was at their OG location on the corner of 120th and Central Ave. I love the upgrade to the menu and the new location, the service was A1 and quick I waited maybe 5 minutes for 4 tacos. I ordered the 1x Beef, 1x Turkey, 1x Shredded Chicken and 1x Birria hard shell tacos. The birria was a new one i hadn't seen. I didn't like it, the birria consume made the shell soggy and the beef wasn't tender. The shredded chicken one was kinda dry but it still smacked. My favorites were the ground beef and ground turkey, well seasoned juicy and tender these pair well with their guacamole salsa. It's bussin', trust me. read more

Update: I guess the food here is still delicious (I haven't been back nor ordered from DoorDash). I stopped eating here and this is why: Once, while I was there, a DoorDash driver politely asked for hot sauce, and the lady behind the counter told him, "We don't have any made." After he left, she casually told another employee to start preparing it. I watched as the young lady simply poured the sauce from a large container into the small containers they come in. That was such poor customer service! They could have easily poured some for the driver instead of brushing him off. I've also ordered from this place about four times through DoorDash, and three of those times, the hot sauce was missing. Another time something else was missing. Knowing what I know, they simply don't care if you get the hot sauce or not. Truthfully, the combination of the hot sauce with the taco's flavor is what I love most. Without the hot sauce the taco just isn't the same. After witnessing that kind of customer service and experiencing their laziness and lack of care firsthand, I haven't gone back. The poor DoorDash driver did their best, but I thought they actually had to make the sauce--not that they just couldn't be bothered to pour it in the container right then and there. The lady also wasn't very friendly. She was an older lady, who seemed like she couldn't care less if you patronize the business or not. Has no clue about customer service. Don't ask her to pour you any hot sauce. It isn't ready! read more

Drove down from Calabasas I was feeling some tacos and haven't had luck with any places that reminded me of tacos from when I was growing up in south central to the westside of LA, and so I went to taco Pete's. I knew when I saw another L.A. Hoop legend in there it had to be good. Very flavorful and were satisfying for me Ofcourse my guy taking the order was cool as can be.. I loved all 12 tacos and will be going back... read more

I was in La for a day and wanted to try Taco Pete I haven't had it in years and I've never tried this location. I should've followed my first mind and went to Ramona's. We waited over 30 minutes for 4 regular ole tacos that were less than mediocre. Something was wrong with the grill so it took our order forever and on top of that after waiting 20 mins I went to purchase a bottle of water and instead of him just giving me the water as a thank you or courtesy for waiting so long he charged me smh I try to support back business but sometimes their business practices are just ugh I won't be back.. No Thank you read more

My second visit and last 11/8/25. The Manager Aaron (Slauson/Crenahaw) should not be the manager of any establishment. He's rude and ignorant. I called to explan that the $4.50 taco supreme was missing sour cream, onions, and avocado (which are in season). He told me to bring it back tonight (I live 20 minutes away). Then he hung up on me while I'm asking the process to resolve. I called back, then he told me I had 2 days to bring in the receipt. And, hung up on me again, after I asked who is the owner. He said, "The owner is the owner" and hung up. This is all after they didn't give me fries in my online order. So, I had to wait for fries. Now, I'm here trying to make a change and warn people of the bad service, missing food, and food items. Money I spent but didn't receive the service. I was robbed. Aaron is rude, childish, and ignorant. OG Taco Pete on Slauson should not have this type of person working in our community. The taco was nasty and dry due to half the ingredients missing. I hope that was the reason. They will never see me again. Taco issue resolved. Sad, some businesses make it hard to support. Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

Original Taco Pete - OG Taco Supreme - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A client told me to try them.amd I'm so.glad I did. Very friendly customer service and ample parking. I ordered the turkey taco special which comes with three tacos filled with guacamole, cheese, sour cream and fries and a drink. My total was about 20 dollars. They do not skimp on the portions. Each taco was stuffed and brimming with flavor! I got full after 2 tacos. Fries reminded me of the OG World on Wheels fries. They were a nice throw back. The cashier was very friendly and her nails were POPPING!!!!! They were gorgeous! I waited about 12 to 15 minutes because they make everything fresh. Food was still hot after a made another stop before home. I will definitely come again and maybe order the turkey burger. I'm sure it's gonna be fire! I wish they did nachos and taquitos! That would be AMAZING! They should also bring back the OG orange drink that kinda tastes like oranges n cream. These would make great additions! read more

Today was my first time trying OTP. I ordered three ground beef tacos and one Jr. Burrito. I did not like the taste or texture of the beef, yuck! I had to call and ask what's the difference between a hard and fried shell. The young lady that answered the phone was pleasant enough, but maybe I should have asked for the hard shell. She told me the fried shell would be like the tacos I make at home, that's what I should have done, made my own because these tacos don't taste like any I have made at home. My homemade tacos are actually good and have some crunch from the shell and the lettuce. Everything was just mushy. I can't comment on the ambience because I have never been to the restaurant and never will. IMO, Taco Bell has better tacos. I tried, but I refuse to eat shit. read more

First, I would like to thank Steph and Tasha for recommending this restaurant to all of their subscribers because I would not have known about this place. Secondly, the tacos were amazing. I didn't have time to take pictures. I got 3 chicken tacos, and my friend had 3 beef. I wanted turkey, but they were sold out of turkey. Next time, I'm in LA. I'm going there first. The service was ok. The cashier almost let a fight happen all because someone thought a lady was cutting the line. They didn't have the proper amount of change for a 50, so I had to go get change and come back to pay. The wait time for tacos was ridiculous long for no reasons and they had 4 people preparing orders. The ambiance was nice but small. They were playing hip-hop music on the big screen TV. There's not that much sitting room. So prepare to do a togo order. read more

I ordered some shrimp tacos and fries. All of it came out fresh and hot , ready to eat. Unfortunately the taste isn't a wowzer for me.

I don't feel the need to return to this establishment. read more

Living in Cali where there's such a huge assortment of taco spots, Taco Petes tacos are pretty ordinary.. There's no wow factor- they're like home tacos without all the love. I ordered the Angus beef but the meat was not very flavorful and on the dry side. It also had lots of lettuce very little meat and a tiny pinch of cheese. The tacos are not completely horrible but they just wasn't that good either. The hot sauce was really the star because without that, they definitely would of fallen completely flat! read more

It was not as I expected from this establishment that I had visited for years. I had ordered my tacos online & arrived in 6 minutes, waited for my name to be called in like 5-6 minutes & left to head to work. I drove off to work & grabbed a taco as I was driving & the taco was cold. I don't know what happened between the time I ordered & got there to receive my order but it was not it. I will try again when I'm not in the rush to work & this time order at the location to see if the result will be the same. read more

Good service great fried tacos great price great employees EVERYTHING WAS GREAT GREAT GREAT

Ordered off door dash. Items missing. Told cashier. She asked what was missing. Explained to her that I could not tell, as some tacos were missing but unable to tell what was missing, as nothing was labeled. Jada was extremely rude and told the cooks to make 2 more tacos in Spanish. Jada then continued to ignore me as I patiently waited for my missing items. I received 2 cold tacos and asked the cashier for her name and she would not tell me her name for customer service purposes. Other workers refused to tell me her name. Jada was so ignorant that her name was on her necklace! After missing items, no apology for having to wait for Missing items to be made. Dirty ambiance inside. I don't know why I gave this place a chance And the food is cold and disgusting read more

I'm so disappointed. At the slothful nature of the food preparation. I know I didn't place a small order but waiting over a half hour is unreasonable. To add insult to injury by the time I received my food it was cold and order was wrong. I could have made the order myself in the time it took for my order to be completed. This may be my last patronage at this establishment. read more
