Definitely one of my new favorite spots in the area, I was actually on my way to another restaurant, but drove by and saw this place and decided to give it a try, I started with three tacos, and ended up buying another two, place is pretty delicious but yet also very simple. It would've been a five star review, but they didn't have rice, looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area again The service was great, and to the point! read more

Got here before the rush. Food is always fresh. We come here every time we stop in Arcadia. Lots of parking.

Coming for 45yrs drive from palm springs once a month lived in Arcadia 35yrs same owners sence1967 jumbo burritos

It's been years since I've been here. I was craving hard shell taco & a Lita sandwich. Parking is excellent and customer service was so friendly. The Food has not changed at all. Even the (so call) hot sauce is the same. Bought a few extra tacos to take for lunch tomorrow. read more

Taco Lita - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

Was out running errands today and wanted to get something for lunch. I was coming up on Taco Lita and thought why not as I haven't been hearing in quite a while. Today's special for Wednesday was the combo burrito with a taco and a drink for $13.75. Not a bad price for what they give you. The taco was so crispy and so fresh I was so glad I stopped and got lunch. They use the Heinz taco packets now and honestly, I love it. I could only get through about a quarter of the burrito before I got full. Basically it's beans, cheese and meat and it was massive. The service inside they were super friendly and very quick. I took the food to go so I didn't sit and stay. read more

Taco Lita - Wednesday special: combo burrito, taco and drink . The burrito is kind of smashed in this photo from sitting in the bag in my car. - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

Wanted to try this place since it seemed pretty popular. However was pretty disappointed with the food. Was craving tacos but they only have one option and it is a hard shell taco. The jumbo burrito was also not very appetizing and I don't think it even had any meat inside. The food was not satisfying at all. The staff are very friendly and keep the place clean. read more

Horrible, ground beef is the only "meat" they have, and cheese...heart attack wrapped in a tortilla buttito and quesadilla looked exactly the same as the meat and cheese burrito. Picked up and took it home to eat, we did not eat it...thought about feeding it to the dogs, then decided they would probably get sick. $30 for garbage. read more

Friendly fast service and delicious simple beef burrito and tacos go great with the salsa

For some, I'm sure the nostalgia keeps them coming back. For me, it was the first time and it was pretty much what I expected. A mom and pop Del Taco, with higher prices but slightly better flavors. The taco is definitely the standout as it's stuffed with meat and cheese. The combo burrito was mid. Beans, meat and cheese. Nothing really special. I guess they don't have their taco sauce anymore, so Heinz mild is all you get. I think a really good sauce would make this place stand out more, but Del scorcho is still the best sauce in the biz, so I guess I'll be going to Del Taco when I need my gringo taco fix. Glad I tried it and not mad that I did. Really would go back for their tacos if they only had better sauce. Service was fast and friendly, so that's definitely a plus. read more

More like Taco Sh*ta. Decided to try the burritos here with a cousin and the family. The food was less than mediocre and actually got all of us food poisoning. Thanks..... read more

Sometimes you want a regular ground beef crispy taco with cheese and lettuce. Taco Lita is no nonsense. I had that craving and this place did not disappoint. The tacos were delicious and crispy. Just what I wanted. It could have been a little cheaper, but still better than Del Taco to satisfy the craving. I will be back. read more

Tacos were ok... burrito was the greasiest thing I have ever seen. How something can be dry and greasy at the same time? Yeah ask Taco Lita for that recipe... go to taco treat, del taco, even Taco Bell. 4 tacos, 2 bean and cheese burritos was $32. No drinks, no extras. Service was fast and friendly, restaurant was clean, but the food. I have been curious about this place for a while. Sadly this was terrible. read more

Taco Lita - Bean and cheese burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

Off the top!! I will say this is not your authentic Mexican food place, very much American-Mexican if even that. You come here for the fresh loads of cheese and the sauce. I'd be surprised if the beans weren't from a can and that's okay, they serve their purpose. Ground beef, loads of cheese and fresh crisp lettuce and tomato. Sometimes you feel like that kind of burrito and/or tacos. Cheese lovers unite! Service is always great. Very fast, not a large menu so quick to make. Place has been here for years, a staple in the community and gives off that vibe. Very enjoyable if you're in the mood for it. read more

Taco Lita - Jumbo burrito $12 - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

Est. 1967- Old school taco place. Looks like it should have a drive through, but it doesn't. Menu is very simple - Tacos, Burritos and Tostadas. That's about it, but that all you need at this place. Gotta love the crunchy, hard shell, tacos, served with seasoned ground beef, lettuce, cheese and tomato. They remind me of the cafeteria tacos we used to get in elementary school. The Combo, Burrito is big and filling (Meat, beans & Cheese). This place is clean and the service is friendly. Taco Lita, you still got it! read more

Old school since 1967. The Wednesday special for $10.70 includes a combo burrito, a hard shell taco, and a fountain drink. What a great deal and the food is the gringo style wanna be Mexican food that is yummy. The service was quick and the interior's bright orange tile decor reflects it's history. The only downside is that it's been four years since they offered their famous hot sauce packets. read more

What happened to Taco Lita? Big mistake did away with their hot sauce. It added so much to meat and cheese burrito.. why didn't try secure another hot sauce maker? Not going back some nostalgia changes and can't be revisited. read more

Taco Lita is awesome! Food is great, prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly. Love this place!

An SGV classic! Can't go wrong with some tacos or a burrito! They get the food out quick and staff is friendly! What more could you ask for!

... what happened! They're so different now! They definitely use good, fresh ingredients, but they no longer have their famous sauce! They were very quick with my order, almost too fast... As soon as I ordered a burrito and paid, they called my number. That's fast. I hate to give 3-star but they only deserve it for no longer having their sauce. If they reach out to me, or bring back their sauce, then I'll remove this review and give 5-star. They have very clean tasting tacos and burritos. Theres basically no oil in the meat. A little bland to me, but very healthy. This might be your style. read more

One of my go to's. No frills but tasty. Don't mind all the naysayers when it comes to the sauce. The sauce they have is just as good and takes care of business. Always a hit with me. read more

Taco Lita never disappoints! Literally the only thing that's changed, is their sauce, and not by their own accord. My dad used to take me here all the time growing up and 20 years later, I still find my way back. The interior is still the same with the retro orange and bright green tiles, love it. While their bean and cheese burritos are so simple, I quite literally have never had a burrito I've enjoyed better. The sauce, although it's not their original, is the perfect addition. Also, their service is always quick and plenty of parking! I hope they never close. read more

This is my second Taco Trek in search of the best local tacos. Today, the crunch was great and reminded me of my youth when tacos were primo. Apparently, there is report of a ghost haunting this location, so I need to do more investigating. Today was taco Friday, so I got five tacos for around ten dollars, which is pretty good. Service was kind and efficient, with even the patrons super friendly while waiting. This extremely clean taco stand is a standout and something to come back for, possibly on a Tuesday! read more

Went for lunch with my best friend. Old school feel, fresh tasty food. It was pretty tasty.

This has to be one of the worst Mexican food places I've ever been to. Bland, limited options, and nothing to be excited about. In SoCal there are so many other options for Mexican food. I would rather eat Taco Bell 10 out of 10 times and I wouldn't call Taco Bell Mexican food. read more

If you're a fan of Del Taco, you'll love this place. Honestly I like their taco is better than the Original Barstow Del Taco ones. It is unfortunate they dont have their own sauce but the Heinz sauce is still good. I love that you get transported into the old school 90's vibe when you walk in and the employees are super friendly! I hope this place can last the test of time because it is an absolute staple. Thank you for existing Taco Lita!! read more

For Taco Tuesday, my boyfriend and I decided to have Taco Lita... I've lived in Arcadia almost all my life... But yet I've only had Taco Lita the last few years. It's a simple menu...our go to is their crunchy tacos. Simple, crispy taco shells with ground beef, lettuce, and tomato. It reminds us of our childhood tacos. On Friday, you can get a 5 taco deal that's less than $11. so if you're feeling nostalgic and want a quick meal, you should definitely try this place. read more

Craving an old school American-Mexican crunchy taco with ground and not shredded beef? Stop in here! The vibe as soon as you walk in is to go back in time. Their crunchy shell taco has ground beef, shredded cheese, lettuce & tomato slice. (This surpasses Tito's now IMHO.). Super friendly staff tends to your order. read more

Taco Lita definitely stands out compared to other fast food restaurants. Greeting customers with their large and sunny signs, you will be amazed by the vibrant colors as you walk inside. It has the classic mid century vibe to it. Everything there is original from the 60s! The menu was simple - straight forward and no frills! Unfortunately, they don't have the famous taco lita sauce, but they do have the Heinz replacement sauce packets. As I took my first bite into the taco, I was surprised by the quality of the hard shell. It was light and crispy, unlike the store bought versions. The taco has simple ingredients such as ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and a couple strips of tomatoes. I appreciate its simplicity. My verdict? This place is a must try if you're in Arcadia and in the mood for burritos and/or hard shell tacos. This longstanding Arcadia hard-shelled taco stand definitely deserves much recognition! read more

I know I was here years ago...I stopped by again because my car had a flat and I was waiting for the auto club to show up and I was hungry. I got the manager special: Taco, Bean & Cheese Burrito and a drink. I recalled that I was not too thrilled from my previous visit, however I saw the flow of people and thought well it cannot be that bad. I was severely disappointed. The taco which was a decent size was horrible. The shell felt stale and it lacked taste. Even with the Heinze Taco Sauce could not really figure out the popularity of this place. I moved on to the burrito and the only thing I could think was REALLY? The cheese was not even melted or melting. The beans were very pasty and only warm, in short, no chance of melting. Again I added the sauce to help me get through this, but could not even finish the food because it was simply not what I expect it. I think the two big taco chains are far better and that says a lot. Again, not sure what the regular customers see in this place, however, it must appeal to locals or a certain palate. Whatever the case, I do not plan to come here again and much less recommend it to anyone. Sorry. read more

Deliciousness at its finest , clean, friendly atmosphere and service . Easily located

This is a nostalgic place in my home town. It's an american take on Mexican food similar to Taco Bell as it was in the 70s. Their menu features tacos, tostadas, burritos with ingredients like ground beef, refried beans, grated cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce and diced tomatoes. They've been out of Taco Lita branded hot sauce packets for a while. The fact that it's still the same over decades is kinda cool, almost frozen in time. read more

I should have looked up the reviews first. I came to this establishment since they serve my favorite type of food, Mexican! Was thrown off by the prices, very expensive for basic food. I purchased a bean, cheese, and beef burrito. Total came out somewhere along the $11 dollar mark which is crazy expensive but paid since more than likely it will be a beefy tasty burrito......wow was i wrong. I got my burrito, felt very hefty which I was happy about since I did pay close to $11. I went back to back to my work vehicle to eat it. It was disgusting, and a waste of money. Somehow they forgot the beef but maybe though they would make up for that by adding a lot of cheese? Infant there was so much cheese that it didn't melt. Waste of time, and money. read more

Love me some Taco Lita. I've been going here for like 40 years. Since I was a young teen. All the people complaining about the prices going up need to stop. All restaurant prices have gone up. It's just reality. They don't skimp on the serving size. You get your money's worth. The food is yummy and the taco sauce they serve now is close to the Lita sauce they use to have. If you want cheap, go to Taco Bell and eat fillers and msg. read more
