Tacburg is a real mixed bag. On the one hand, they serve up some truly tasty bites -- the savory, tender Pumba tacos were a highlight. On the other hand, they serve up a heaping plate of inconsistency. Three different items from their already small menu weren't available. No Al Pastor? Multiple beers tapped out? And this was early in the evening, not closing time. It made me wonder: supply chain problem, or did they just forget to go shopping? With only one server and one cook on duty, the whole place had a vibe of "we're trying, but please don't look too closely." Service was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt a little uncomfortable, like something was just... off. As for the food: the Pumba tacos were excellent, the Gobernator shrimp taco was also good, and then there was the "side salad." Calling it a salad feels generous. It looked like someone raided the burger garnish tray and charged me $8 for it. Full iceberg leaves, a few tomato slices, a browning avocado, and purple onion just sat there staring at me, daring me to fight it. It was such a disaster I almost had to set up a GoFundMe page for it. The space itself is modern and vibrant, and the menu ideas are creative -- if only you can actually order them. Unfortunately, the potential doesn't outweigh the frustration. We won't be back. read more

This place has a pretty good menu - it was a fusion sort of menu with things that you often see but also don't see. The sonorense dog was so good. Probably one of my favorites. The Skeletor taco was really good as well and the waffle fries are so good. Parking is a little annoying but if you come during off hours, it should be fine. read more

Tacburg - Tacos Near Me - Whittier, California

Such a bright and fun spot. Parking can be a little limited as I only saw front street parking but maybe there's a lot somewhere near by. We ordered quite a few things but my favorite was definitely the hotdogs & the Flintstone burger! Service was amazing. The guy helping us, I think the manager was so nice! Would definitely come back with friends! read more

This place was surprisingly good. I initially saw the Flintstones burger on Instagram and knew immediately I needed to check this place out and I'm very glad I did. Parking can be a bit of a hassle if it's busy out (it is an a pretty bustling area with many other shops and restaurants) but there are free options available. When you get inside, the decor and vibes are everything. The music is like 2000s pop/hip hop, they had TVs, the standard grass walls with neon signs formed into witty statements (which was cool) and they have many graffiti style paintings/art around the restaurant. It was definitely a casual, trendy atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Now to my favorite part, the food! This restaurant takes, in my opinion, a next level approach to casual, American and Mexican cuisine and they have craft beers available to go with their meals. The tacos, burgers and hot dogs are unique so as a result I came to order one thing (the Flintstones burger) and left with extra dishes to try that included 2 tacos and a hot dog. The Flintstones burger presentation is great. Seeing the giant beef rib bone in the burger when it arrives makes you know that the meat is going to have that extra flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy included in the burger gives it a very comfort food/home style feel and it goes perfectly together. It was like eating a pot roast dinner in a bun that was put together incredibly. Also, I'm a huge fan of shoestring fries so they were a plus to the meal! This is a must try and I will be back for this. Next were the pumba and gobernador tacos. Both amazing selections as the pumba tacos had thick cuts of pork belly and plenty to fill the taco shell. The Gobernador was a great combination of shrimp with cheese and the sauce it comes with complimented it very well as it was not overly spicy. Lastly, and the dish that surprised me, was the sonorense dog. The hot dogs are pork (which I prefer) so it was a tough decision to pick which one to try but I ultimately landed on the sonorense dog and I'm so glad I did. The pork hot dog is more flavorful in my opinion which went well with the California pepper and cheese it was stuffed into. The bacon was a bit soft so making it a little more crispy would have been preferred but you still can't go wrong with how it was presented. It also came topped with caramelized onions leading to flavorful ensemble. In short, this restaurant far exceeded my expectations. I came in wanting to order one thing and ended up ordering the whole left side of the menu (joking) because the descriptions of each dish all were so tempting. The food was amazing and I look forward to trying more of it the next time I'm in the area. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they will add one in Las Vegas (where I live) so they can take over this market as well. This is a must try from one foodie to another! read more

I didn't expect to find such great tacos and burgers here. This is absolutely 5+ stars food I didn't encounter for a big while. The price was not cheap though, but the food was really fancy so I think it's reasonable. Definitely try the skeletor taco and the flintstones burger. These are the fancy ones with bones and ribs. It's very delicious. Protein portion was large it really justified the price. I think every other taco I ordered was really good and unique to the location: the pork belly one, the shrimp one, and the asada one. The sharing plates are also pretty big and delicious. Quesadilla with shrimp was very good. The fried chicken was juicy and well glazed. The nachos are especially crispy. Many parking spaces on the street. It's 2 hours free parking. read more

First timer here at the newest Tacburg in Uptown. I loved my experience! It was nothing like I expected. Service: 10/10, tableside service, very friendly Interior: Clean, ample table space, kids high chairs available Drinks: Local craft beers + more Food: Incredible. I had pork belly taco, bone marrow taco. Both were well presented, fresh, hot and delicious. Prices: The best part. Wasn't expecting a $10 and under price point on these items. Best part for me, the kids meals were $6! Mini sized portions for our little ones. Another great thing for me- millenial playlist! Loved the music. Please try it, I can't wait to try some more tacos off the menu soon. read more

We had a great time! I thought it would just be gastropub food, but the mash-up of tacos/burgers/hot dogs was an unexpected and extremely enjoyable fusion experience. We ordered a bunch of food and shared it, which I recommend so that you can taste as many of their creations as possible. Pumba Tacos ($4.50) - very generous with the pork belly portions. For the price, it's a steal. The different textures (crispy, crunchy, creamy, smooth) and flavors (fatty, tangy, avocado-y) was exceptional. Al Pastor Burger ($18) - not bad. It gave off torta vibes with a few different flavors in there and a full slice of pineapple rather than junks that would be in a taco. I would order it again. It is cooked well and filled us up but just wasn't my favorite thing that we ate that day. The shoestring fries were aight. Again, nothing to right home about. I would upgrade my fries next time. Sonoronse dog - like an LA dog inside of a chilli relleno. Great presentation and great flavor. I would definitely get this one again too. Our server was Sophia and she was very attentive to our table, very friendly and patient in explaining all the different menu items and what we were getting. Since so many items on the menu are new creations, this aspect is important. Looking forward to coming back and trying that skeletor taco. read more

Tacburg is a spot my hubby found on Tik tok, so i was a bit hesitant because other spots that influencers have promoted have been horrible spots. It is a small little spot in Uptown Whittier, cute shops and bars in the area. Good music and the service was super friendly and helped with all our questions. I enjoyed the presentation of the taco. Each taco had it's own style, it's own flare. The flavors are very unique. We have been here a few times since our first visit and they have not disappointed. You can also grab a beer while your here and enjoy people watching from the window! There is street parking and a parking lot somewhere around here! Lol! Thanks for reading @just_._jax read more

Visiting Tacburg made our day. I was apprehensive because usually when food is so visually appealing, it lacks flavor. When I bit into the Skeletor Taco, I knew that Tacburg had the visual AND flavor locked down. A rare accomplishment. The food alone was worth the drive from L.A. proper. The service was the cherry on top. John was so hospitable. We look forward to returning! read more

We were at The Cellar having some beers and didn't want to walk too far, so we looked up a nearby spot and found TacBurg. The name cracked us up because it's a taco and burger combo place. I got the Flintstone Burger, which came with a giant rib they used to carve the meat from, and my friend got the spicy chicken sandwich. Everything was seriously good, even the chips and guac we ordered as an appetizer. The chips were freshly made, warm, and super tasty. read more

Tacburg - The Flintstone burger after I ate it - Tacos Near Me - Whittier, California

Its Wednesday so the street fair is going on in Uptown. Several food stands are giving me the look like they know i am hungry, but how can i say no to a place that has burgers and tacos. My daughter and I went with asada, chicken, and sweet potato fries and were not disappointed. I admit the chicken was for her but it was so good, i ate half. Asada was good too but that chicken was delicious. Fries were good. Those were for the kid. I had a few and they were tasty. Nice place in Uptown. Clean and roomy. Tvs playing the Lakers game. Booze here too but did not drink. read more

Small, hidden gem in Whittier. Phenomenal tacos, pork belly, bone marrow, all amazing. Great beers, fun appetizers.

BEST smashburger in town! (Never going back to "For The Win" now that this place has opened.) The size of their burgers is huge, so you don't feel like you've been ripped off. Most importantly, they are delicious. Staff is so welcoming and friendly too! The only thing is, their waffle fries are advertised as "spicy," which they aren't one bit lol. They should strongly consider re-wording that OR actually making them spicy, b/c that would be a great addition to the menu! read more

Stop playing around and come on down to Tacburg! Everything is delicious here. The pumba taco is delicious with a side of Tamarind sauce, this combination works very well. The kids slider is really amazing too! Love how juicy and well seasoned it is..this is my new spot! The Beer is also always fresh and delicious! I definitely recommend anyone looking for a quick bite under 20 bucks to enjoy this chill spot! read more

My wife and I are really sad to see this restaurant permanently closed. Best tacos ever. My palate is devastated...

Mis cuates, háganse el favor y coman aquí. Es una fusión de comida americana y mexicana. Ordenen la hamburguesa ranchera y no lo van a creer, ¡incluye un chile relleno entero en la hamburguesa! Jamás había probado una hamburguesa tan sabrosa. ¡Mi novio ordenó el Ensenada Dog y viene con camarón! Nuestra servidora fue Nancy y fue muy amable con nosotros. John es el gerente y es súper atento. No se les olvide que la hamburguesa lleva un chile relleno entero. La verdad es que no tengo palabras para describir lo deliciosa que es, así que van a tener que venir a probar esta comida deliciosa. No se van arrepentir. read more

This place is either closed or needs to update their hours. Went at 1230 and the place was closed checked the signs posted by the door and yelp and both said it should have been open. If you're not already nearby I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here since it's most likely closed. read more

Closed at 7 on a Monday. Forget supporting local businesses. Why say you're open when you're not?

Great food, great service with great tunes playing the whole time. A lot of fun items, mostly all your favorites with a new twist. Ever want Al pastor on a burger or pork belly on a taco?! Then this is your spot! Definitely worth the visit! read more

This place serves inventive food with heart, so we are rooting for them to do well! Went on a Friday evening and it wasn't very busy. The tacos very unique and tasty. Would go again to try more of the many different tacos and burgers. We had the pork belly, asada, skeletor (bone marrow), and pastor. Also the sonorense hot dog and the chicharrones & guac appetizer. All were super tasty and my favorite was the skeletor taco which had a fun presentation with the marrow bone, a slice of grilled panela cheese and a stalk of grilled green onion. Pretty spectacular. Combined with cold local beers on tap, our meal really hit the spot as an end of week indulgence. The service was warm and friendly, if a bit short handed. Some food items were sold out. But we still had a great meal and Whittier is lucky to have this unique spot! read more

Great spot!! Food is delicious! Service on point & Friendly . sitting is comfortable and clean Resident Brewery Five point five offers a good selection and on top of that they have a guest brewery on rotation (currently Beechwood) John was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed I had a Skeletor taco & a Pumba Taco (pumba taco has tamarind sauce and it's in the sweet side, pairs excellent with their spicy mango chile; the Skeletor comes with bone marrow, for those unfamiliar to the delicacy: it gets a little oily when you get the marrow out, the asada is tender and tasty and the avocado just gives it that extra umpf! Pairs well with lime ) read more

Tacburg - SKELTOR TACO GOBERNADOR TACO AND PUMBA TACO !!! - Tacos Near Me - Whittier, California

This little place in Uptown Whittier (6541 Greenleaf) is what you'd call a find. The chef combines Mexican and American tastes- never had anything like it. The smash burger was spiced so well. It was the best I've ever had. The best burger period! I didn't want fries so I got a salad that was not an afterthought. Lettuce, fresh tomatoes and avocado slices made it almost as tasty as the burger. Their taco menu runs from pork belly to asada to a Gobernador. A what? It had grilled shrimp, pepper , onions and a cheese mixture wrapped in a homemade tortilla. She raved it was the best taco she ever put in her mouth! I'd like to come back and try some other tacos or the wings. They even have a vegan burger. The ambience was clean but plain. The service was fine. The food was so tasty I can't wait to go back. In Whittier? Give Tacburg a try. read more

Was it good? I'll never know. Walked in at 7:40pm on a Saturday to an empty restaurant. Stood around and waited. Found a menu to look at...waited. I waited until I was uncomfortable with the situation and left. There was someone in the kitchen with headphones who didn't seem to notice there was a customer there. I never saw any other people. Bummer. read more

Food was good. Had the bone marrow tacos which were excellent. Chips and guacamole were also really good and fresh. Fast service.

My second time here, I had a Chicken Little taco, moo taco, and Pumba taco. All were good; tender. The tortillas taste home made. The best 10/10 taco is Pumba, soooo good. If I could eat three of these, I would. But I gotta watch my arteries. Must try! I get it to go, and the chef was really nice and fast with food. Place is spacious and clean. read more
