Rambo’s Tacos - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I used to love Rambos.. but today our experience was not so great.. i had a few encounters with the owner being rude for no reason and i let that fly.. but today again.. he was so rude just because i asked for plates???... I ordered an el pastor burrito that had NO MEAT at all. It was just pure rice and beans.. we paid and tipped the guy and this is what we get. Dont be stingy Rambo! Honestly this is the reason why i always preferred Leo's Taco Truck.. they are polite and generous. The only reason we went to Rambo's tonight was because my husband asked to give it another chance.. boy was he wrong! So disappointing.. waste of money. read more

Rambo’s Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I see this truck nightly on 3rd and Columbia (Westlake area). Photo was taken on 4-29-2022. Is this the same Rambos from Eagle Rock? It's parked in front of a liquor store directly across the street from a 7-11. There seating for diners. Parking is limited and the neighborhood is questionable. read more

Haven't been in about 6 years. Was great then. Is great now. Would recommend for a quick bite

Rambo's was always my go to spot when I lived in Eagle Rock. Tacos al pastor and a plain cheese quesadilla was my go to late night meal. Haven't stopped by in a bit and I need to get back here and see if it's still the same. read more

Rambos is still my number one favorite taco truck here in eagle rock!! Can never go wrong, ever!! The lengua taco is my favorite go to

I used to respect rambos. Leo's tacos are $1.20 but Rambos are $1.40. I was always curious about them. So i checked the truck out and to my surprise, i received the delicacy of tongue, cabeza, and tripas. I used to go late nights but after coming back after two years, I get an eyelash in my taco? And a fake $10 bill as change? To hell with this truck! When has 6 tacos cost $1.50 each amounting to $9? These people are thieves! They think they're some taco outlaws when in reality, they have a power complex that revolves around their delicious tacos. Disrespectful, fraudulent, and a scam. Never will I ever come back to this forsaken chum bucket. read more

2022 Update: RAMBOS IS BACK and operating at the same location! They've rebranded the truck and it is now called RULAS TACOS. Let us enjoy

-Written in July 31- They're back!! Same location. Search for "Rulas Tacos." Same staff, same taste, new design and name. THE WAIT IS OVER!! read more

To the owner, bring the Rambos Truck back to Eagle Rock, loco, we want our tacos back

They are no longer selling through the truck!!! Took us several tries of finding them to figure out they have a store in West Covina! (Figured it out not only with the name - but with the same Rambo picture that was on the truck lol) When we asked, they just said they are no longer selling by truck, not sure if they meant forever or for the time being. Either way, will continue supporting because I simply love their tripa! read more

Located along Eagle Rock Blvd (just right before York), this taco truck seems to always be there. And I realized why last night. In my search for Leo's Tacos, he never showed up, even per the Yelp hours and countless reviewers saying that they open at 8pm. I even waited for 20 minutes after! But nevertheless, this review isn't for Leo's. The point is, Rambo's Tacos is there to pick up the disappointment (and customers) that Leo's leaves behind. Their all-meat burritos ($7.50) are a whopping $1 more than Leo's and the meat is less tender and juicy, but it's not a bad alternative to waiting 45 min for a truck that may never show up. It's also a bit smaller than burritos I'm used to. They only gave me two small sauce cups for two burritos, which I felt was a little stingy. Try asking for extra if you order a burrito. They did provide a good amount of limes though! The workers are nice and you get your food quickly. They also accept card at a $1 fee, unlike many other taco trucks. All in all, I would definitely come back next time as opposed to Monster Tacos or Charlie's Tacos when I'm craving tacos or burritos (yes, there are a LOT of trucks in this area). read more

Best tacos and best Fortas I've ever had. Only, I havnt seen the truck in months. Anybody know where they're at ?

The coolest thing about this truck are the murals painted on the sides of it. I was hoping for some Stallone style ass kicking to be served up, but alas none was found on the menu. I guess I'll just have to settle for some childhood memories of eighties war montages... Though as cool as the truck itself looks, this is just your average Mexican food truck, serving up tacos, burritos, tortas & quesadillas. I will say that if you like cabeza, I'd recommend getting it here. Their salsas are pretty legit too and are a must on any taco. It's easy to locate and you won't need to stalk Rambo's on twitter. The truck always sets up shop on Eagle Rock Blvd, just south of York. read more

This was not my favorite taco truck experience. The al pastor was crispy and very chewy. The chewiness made the taco taste fatty. The tortillas were soggy, too. Not my style. Plenty of street parking, no lines, and tacos were $1.25 each. read more

I see Rambos truck all the time at night on this street. How could I not try it? I ignored the B rating and gave it a shot after seeing so many people in front of the truck. I fell in love with their carne asada burrito with everything and sauce on the side please. So much flavor and juice from the meat. Mmm I crave Rambos late nights now. Those that know me know that I am the pickiest person there is when it comes to Mexican food so if Rambos won me over it must be that good. I can't vouch for anything else except the burrito. I was told their beans are cooked in pork fat. The absolute best way to cook those refried beans and authentic at that. Their competitor Leo's Taco truck is always lingering near them to be a head on competitor. Watch out! FYI: They take visa and MasterCard. read more

Trusty late night Mexican food truck when nothing else is open. Like the others, I found this one because I was looking for Leos...which wasn't there (but did show up on other nights). I'm a new customer so I don't know anything about the bad reviews from long time customers. My burritos were awesome and I'm so glad I have great Mexican food truck to order from. I'll try Leos next time and will compare the 2 here if you guys insist. read more

WARNING! : if you're one of those people below me who go around looking for a burrito simply consisting of bean and cheese (which is gross in my opinion), go hit up a taco bell or something.... Rambos isn't for you. But if you want juicy Tripa, Lengua, Cabeza that melts in your mouth, Rambos is perfect! (BTW, I had the worst experience at Leo's down the street, so please don't even consider that place. Although a hardcore fan of Rambos, I felt like I needed to check out the competition. So i went to Leos and ordered an All Meat Carne Asada Burrito because it had good reviews. I took a bite out if it, and it had everything : vegetables, some weird guacamole sauce. So i took it to the guy and said he messed up my order, but he keeps on insisting that I ordered it 'with everything'. But the next thing he said really turned me against Leos FOREVER... he says "you always come here and get complicated things" IT WAS MY FIRST FREAKING TIME THERE!! I don't know if he was being racist, or simply being a douche, or both. All i know is that Leos sucks.. ) Rambos is so much better.. (However, I feel like I need to take off a star because I went there recently, and the Tripas were way too crispy and dry, almost burnt!.. Still, I can boldly say that a nearly burnt Tripa taco from Rambos beats any fresh made menu item from Leo's...) read more

In the Rambo movies he keeps coming back for more and more and more. Now, that wont be me. I decided to re-tour some of the taco trucks on mintys uye. I opted for 3 tacos with tripas, lengua, and al pastor without onions. What i got was a plate with 3 bare tacos missing cilantro and lightly drizzled with sauce. They also skimped on the cucumber and radishes. The tripas taco was way too burned and just tasted bad. I also wasnt impressed with the al pastor that lacked that smoky flavor and the lengua taco was just missing flavor even with the green sauce. I dont think it helped when the cook was on the phone yelling the whole while he was making my order and the guy who took my order was also on the phone. read more

Rambos tacos had the best carne aside burrito it's so good that you will want to go again the next day to grab another. I am also an avid fan of their amazing cabeza tacos'. Hey! Don't knock it till you try it. The meat is juicy tender and fatty. Their salsas don;t mess around, they pack that huge punch you're looking for. Go early to try their pickled carrots or else they run out fast! Drinks are always ice cold and the main honcho is always chill and friendly. read more

Rambos is my go to spot . I had never tried lengua tacos but until one of my friends introduced me to them their I became a fan but I've tried lengua tacos from other places and nope not the same :( so if you go to rambos try their lengua with green salsa , you will become a fan ! read more

A few weeks ago I was out of town on a job and one of the people I was working with, who lived in my neighborhood, mentioned he was a big fan of a couple taco trucks in the area. I hadnt been to any because none of them seem to keep a very regular schedule, or at least they arent around when Im looking for them for the most part. So I jotted them down and decided I would have a go at them. The first place he mentioned wasnt very good. The second place was Rambo's Tacos. I just went there and had to write it up right away. As many of you know I am a stickler for quality, and in Mexican food, I expect refried beans, none of that whole bean business. I decided to keep it simple for a first time order, a chicken burrito. Standard ingredients: Meat, rice, refried beans, onions and cilantro, and of course, salsa. The chicken was somewhere in between Pollo Asado and shredded chicken, and it was moist, not dry, so that was a good surprise. But it also had decent flavor, which a lot of places dont take into consideration. Best of all, they gave me what I asked, no mistakes in the order, the burrito wasnt over stuffed with rice, and the beans were great. I asked for mild salsa, because I was made to think that they put the salsa on for you (no outside salsa bar) which a real Mexican food fan prefers putting it on one bite at a time... But anyways they gave it to me separately, turned out to be salsa verde. I prefer salsa roja, but this was pretty tasty just the same. Next time I'll try the carne asada! read more

IMO, best taco truck in Eagle Rock! That red sauce... dang. Spicy. It runs down to the bottom of your burrito while you're eating it, so the last few bites will set your tongue on fire. But I love it so much that I kept coming back (masochistic?). Carne asada and el pastor are my go-to meats. You're not here for the friendly conversation, you're here to get a spicy, greasy burrito filled with meat, eat it, and leave (or leave and eat it). Rambo's is there starting at 5:30pm, meaning early enough for dinner! read more

The tacos here are excellent. The typical tacos that everyone gets is the asada. While I on the other had get the tripas. The red salsa is the hottest out of all the taco trucks that I have been to. My mouth may be on fire while eating these tacos with the salsa but I still add more. Unfortunately they do have certain days where the red salsa is not that hot. read more

Rambo's gave me one of my most memorable birthdays ever. So a couple of my friends decided to get me a birthday cake. And not just some loser normal cake, but a MAN's cake. That's right: a cake made from 20 tacos, a quesadilla, a torta, and a burrito. It was so beautiful. It even had candles in it! But the story of their ordeal in getting said cake is even more extraordinary. They got there a little past 12am on Sunday night - or Monday morning for all you picky people - and the truck was already gone! They close early Sunday through Thursday, at 12. (Friday and Saturday, they're open until whenever they feel like leaving, which is usually around 2-3am) So anyway, they spot the truck filling up at a nearby gas station. And they're thinking, "oh noes we're too late!" So they go to the gas station, and inside the station's food mart are the Rambo's guys we love so much (and henceforth called the Rambos in this review). And they're already being hounded by other people! "I'll give you $10 for a burrito!" "Leo's sucks!" "I'm so hungry and still drunk!" And they were all turned down. "Sorry, we're closed. We already cleaned the grill." One by one, the Rambo's fans left hungry and unsatiated, sick at the thought that they might have to resort to Leo's for the night. But my friends would not give up so easily. They followed the Rambos out to the truck, pleading with the Rambos that it was their friend's birthday, that their friend is a rambo's fanatic, that they'd buy like $60 worth of stuff. And the Rambos finally gave in, at least halfway. They offered to sell the carne asada, tortillas, onions, cilantro, tortas, and queso so that my friends can take it and microwave it at home. Well, a microwaved Rambo's taco is still better than Leo's, right? So my friends agreed, and they started giving their order. So excluding the ingredients for my cake, the 4 of them ordered a lot of food for themselves. And I think it came out to way over $60. And the Rambos, being so awesome, fired up the grill again! That's right, the grill they shut down and cleaned up for the night! So we were left with delicious, authentic, perfectly grilled tacos, tortas, burritos, and quesadillas. Pros: Great food, great service, greatest mural ever on the side of the truck, cheap food, really hot salsa roja, really tasty salsa verde, best tripa anywhere Cons: usually opens at 6pm, sometimes if you're late they run out of tripas, lenguas, and cabeza read more

this place was good back in the day... after recent experiences... i didn't Yelp them the first time but i sure am yelping now!!! WASTE OF MONEY!!! i give a negative -0... i guess i need to speak spanish in order to be understood cause this is twice now they got my orders wrong and charge me extra!!! ALL MEAT CARNE ASADA.. ALL MEAT... that means NO BEANS N RICE!!! CROOKS!!! Leo's truck it is!!! it was late and a handful of people waiting... definitely never leave without checking your order cause this is twice now they did this and i was giving them the benefit of the doubt! and sadly, nothing special about it!!! it ain't all that! read more

I had to write a new review of this place because so much has changed since my old one. PRICE: Tacos are now 1.25 and all other things are 4.50. Because of this, I'm spending 7-9$ a night at a taco truck. JOSE: Jose was the short guy with the backwards cap on. He doesn't speak English so he was always cooking in the back. Well, anyways, he's gone to work at a different truck. The sad thing is that Jose always made the perfect TRIPAS. It was always a little crispy on the outside and nice and squishy on the inside. Now, it's usually extra crunchy all the way through since these new guys are cooking it too long. This was the saddest things to happen since the price raise in 2007. The good news however is that these new guys put in a lot more meat in the tacos and burritos. They also evenly distribute the meat throughout the quesadillas. (Jose used to pack it in the middle). They also wrap the tortas differently so that it keeps falling apart, but that's no biggy. Nevertheless, this place is still the best in regards to overall taste. Its hot sauce is #1 in my book. #2 is La Estrella. #3 is King Taco/El Taurino (they use the same hot sauce). There are still only a few things in the world that are yummier than a Torta Tripas. I understand that La Estrella is cheaper, gives more meat, and has better carne asada. However, that place doesn't even have Tripas, or tortas and quesadillas. And don't even compare Rambos with Freddy's. That's like comparing tacos in Mexico with Baja Fresh. Here is the ranking of taco trucks in Eagle Rock. I've been to all of them multiple times, so this should be pretty legit for you (unless you're a gringo). 1. Rambos - Best tripas, best sauce, best taste 2. La Estrella - Great tacos, burritos, no tripas, excellent sauce 3. El Pique - Has all the meats and everything is good (except sauce) 4. Durangos - Their meat sucks, but they have mariscos (seafood) 5. El S------ - I forgot the name. They take Leo's spot on Mondays. Not bad 6. Sonia's - Cheapest in Eagle Rock. All meat burrito: 4.75 7. Freddy's - Tastes like Baja Fresh. Good deals 8. Leo's - Horrible everything. There's always a line of gringos from Occi (noobs) THE GOOD: Excellent tripas, hot sauce, tortas, best taco truck in Eagle Rock THE BAD: Expensive (for a taco truck). Inconsistent tripas, Pollo THE UGLY: Order some lengua and watch them pull out the tongue and chop it up. That thing is HUGE. Also, if you look through the window on the left, you can see the big tub of uncooked tripas. DELICIOUS! read more

My husband's co-worker introduced us to Rambos and they have not disappointed! My husband gets tacos and I get a torta de lengua. The torta is bomb EVERY TIME. Tacos are delicious too. The red salsa is the best, spicy, pero esta bien buena. Very kind people. Definitely recommend!! read more

C'mon guys! are you serious?? i went over to Rambos last night with my roomate to try the famous tripas tacos that everyone is ranting and raving over and i have to say that they were below average. I was expecting a perfect balance of crispy and chewy consistency but all we got was mush! plus the kid at the window was freakin rude! he was like: Kid: wat doo you wan!!!?? Me: dos tacos de tripas Kid: waahhhh!!!?? We literally ate the tacos and sped off to Estrella for a couple burritos!! P.s Leo's might not have a grand selection of meat but they kick Rambos' ass in many ways!! Cleanliness for one. No screaming kids. Radishes don't look like they've been soaking in feces. read more

The prices have gone up. Tacos are now $1.25. I had a carnitas taco and the damn thing was so spicy that I took one bite and knew I could not finish it. If I did, it would be a hazard to my health (as if eating 6 other tacos didn't already put me at risk for heart disease). I can't imagine those who added extra hot sauce. Yow! I did cautiously assay another bite of the carnitas and I thought the meat was fine. Not too dry but damn, now I know why the guy was smiling so maniacally at me. Verdict? Never again. read more

Rambo's Tacos are actually...ok! When I was at Leo's last time, there was no one at Rambo's, which made me think that their food must be horrible. I enjoyed their pollo soft taco, but then again, maybe it's because I couldn't handle their hot sauce in the carne asada soft taco...I have to try their Tripas the next time. In a nutshell, if the line is ridiculously long at Leo's, it's okay to eat at Rambo's. read more

I know it is totally inappropriate for me to give a 5 star rating to a Taco Truck based upon the painted graphics on its exterior- but come on people! "Street Art" rendering of Rambo wielding his guns on the side of a taco truck... F*ck yeah! That's five stars right there! read more

What to do after the bar? Hit up the taco trucks, of course. I says to my friend, I says, "Which one?" and I point to this or that. He says "Your pick. There's Rambos and Leos." Me, not knowing any better, pick the former rather than the latter." "Lemme get four tacos de lengua." "No lengua, just chicken or beef." "Okay, four taco de... beef," I says. Not even two minutes later, my tacos emerge. Basic. Tortilla, beef, salsa. He tossed a bit of lemon on the side for me. I pick up, take one bite, and the rest, as they say my friend, is ON FIRE. I swear that I could not feel my lips for the next hour. I tried to be the tough one, I tried to rough it out, y'know? Eat AROUND the salsa. But that taco is a vicious mo fo. I don't even like spicy food, why did I do that? I couldn't even taste anything, my mouf was burning so bad. I give it 3 stars because I don't like spicy foods. But honestly, the guy in the truck knows what he's doing. He makes tacos so spicy, that people have to buy another taco just to know what it's supposed to taste like! Bootleg DVDs also for sale. read more

Bam. Tripa tacos still killin' it. I haven't been back here since 2009. I kept passing by and finally got my friend to try it with me. She loved it too. She was so full that she said she only wanted a bite but I was definitely not going to share mine HAHA so I ordered her own. She ate it all. Full my ass. 2 tacos and 2 drinks, around $5. read more

This is currently my favorite Taco Truck in LA. I know people complain that they don't have guac but I think their tacos and burritos are so delicious that you don't need that extra condiment. If you want guac, you can always walk to Leo's Tacos (which is half a block behind Rambo's truck) and get a taco for the guac. I'm in love with the Pure Carne Burrito. I'm a big meat eater and I really like their meat here. The beef is no angus beef, but it's well marinated and it's cut in the pieces small enough to chew, but not too small like ground beef. I usually get it with onions and cilantra, and a side of the green sause, lime, and onion. The tacos are perfect for ending a heavy drinking night. The grease and the flavor will make the night complete! read more

I spent $17 at this stupid truck, only to ask for everything on my burritos and tacos, qualifying that by mentioning limes and radishes, and make the mistake of not sampling the food till I got home. Some dumb @$%#! had poured, POURED I emphasize, the hottest red sauce known to man all over everything, It was like fire from the pits of hell on top of dry, tasteless meat. We tried valiantly to eat this garbage, in between bights of popsicles and yelling at the dog to back the f up so as not to destroy his little throat. To no avail. I am a complete glutton but I'm not a masochist. I literally had to eat an entire carton of Ben and Jerry's to rid myself of the scorch of two tacos and half a burrito. Fail. Try Leo's. read more

Every taco I had from this Eagle Rock taco spot was more fatty than anything. While normally fatty = yummy, in this situation, it's not good at all. Carnitas, Cabeza... all too fatty to really enjoy. Call me a pansy for asking for the sauce on the side, but I avoid the burning sensation of a taco tasting bad by putting my own amount on them. Others I was with said their tacos were way too spicy. Wouldn't have happened if you followed my sauce on the side mentality. Taco prices 1.25... Meh, I know there's more overhead cost in running a truck but I'm used to a flat $1 mark and since you're only a mile or two away from a slew of taco tables that will only be at the buck rate and better in quality. read more
