Taco Nazo delivers. This location holds up to the same quality I've come to expect from the Santa Ana spot. The food came out high quality, well dressed and full of all the flavor and textures your tastebuds can handle. This was my first visit to this location but it was just as delicious as expected. The service was fast and super friendly. It seemed like they have their regular clientele who would keep coming in while I ate inside. There are a few tables to eat outside if you want the fresh air. Most important to note, I tried all three vegetarian tacos, and they were fire. The bean, ricotta, and potato tacos were all tasty and dressed well with the crema, veggies, and salsa. Those are all the options one needs for a solid vegetarian meal selection, and they're delicious. Te lo recomiendo. read more

Taco Nazo - Tacos Dorados 3 Pack-potato,bean, ricotta - Seafood Near Me - South El Monte, California

I've gone to Taco Nazo in several locations. It's one of the better seafood taco places in town. Their tacos are packed with fresh fish, cream, pico de gallo and cabbage. It tastes very fresh and the fish has no fishy smell. The battered fish will not stay crispy unless you eat it on the spot. It is surrounded by so many wet ingredients. I brought it home in about a 20 minute drive, and it wasn't too crispy, but still tasted great and the tortilla was also still sturdy. This time I also tried a taco dorado, filled with potatoes. This was apparently the popular flavor. They also have it filled with beans or ricotta cheese. If you get it with everything, it will be topped with cheese and cabbage as well as crema. The salsa is on the spicier side, I requested the green salsa (verde). One of my favorite things they serve on the side of each order is a yellow, jalapeño pepper lightly grilled and rolled in lemon salt and pepper. It is such a nice seasoning and great idea. For this order, I went through the drive-through and the service was so friendly and polite. I heard the employee giving some history of the business to the car in front of me and it was nice to witness that pride in the business. read more

They have a small parking lot. Came on a weekend night. Place wasn't crowded, but wasn't empty either. Got the fish taco for $3.99 each. The fish was really good with the right amount of dressing. The red sauce on the table wasn't spicy at all and gave it just the right amount of kick. The fish didn't have too much batter and came out hot and crispy. Would come back. read more

For claiming to be the best fish taco place in LA, the restaurant is setting expectations high and fails to deliver. It's not bad but I wouldn't say it is the best. I think for the price point this feels more like the restaurant is just resting on its laurels. Chains like Baja Cali or Tacos Ensenada could be comparable for fish tacos. I like that it is close by to the Whittier Narrows Recreation area, so a good stop for lunch. Also they have beer... which leads to Micheladas, perfect drink for a hot day. The patio is large and airy, but the loud and high speed dance music was distracting. Interesting drive-through set up, but cheapens the look of the restaurant associating it too fast food like a Long John Silver. read more

I have been passing by here the last few weeks and there's always a line to drive-thru so I made a mental note to try next time I wanted tacos. I came by on a weekday night, where the lines were not that busy. If you're coming for lunch, I would definitely budget some time because it seems to be super busy at lunch. I went through the drive thru, but I would definitely go inside if you can. The drive thru takes forever and sometimes people will not order at the call box and order at the window, making it take forever. The tacos were packed pretty well making it easy to take it back home. I ordered the 8 taco combo and ordered the fish, shrimp, carne asada and chicken to try. It also seems like they give one type of salsa, which is like a medium chipotle salsa, which I really liked. My favorite surprisingly was the chicken, it was juicy and tender. The shrimp was also pretty good. My least favorite also surprisingly was the fish, which they are famous for. I thought the fish was kind of bland and under seasoned. I thought this was a pretty good experience overall for a quick bite. I will say though that aside from the seafood, the tacos were a little pricey. I can get chicken and carne asada for a cheaper price somewhere else. I will definitely come back next time I'm craving a fish (maybe it will be better next time) or shrimp taco, but will go elsewhere for a steak or chicken. read more

Taco Nazo - Taco - Seafood Near Me - South El Monte, California

Is it the best fish taco in the world? I'm not sure. Is it the best fish taco I've ever had? No. While the fish taco was good our experience was as soured by one of the staff members reaction when we told her one of the fish was still raw. we showed her and she asked us why we didn't mention earlier as if we can know the fish is raw without eating it. Then she went away and talked to someone and came back to say that we should've told her earlier and that she told the cook for the future. We weren't expecting them to replace it but at least say sorry the food is not cooked fully. If we wanted raw fish we would've went to a sushi restaurant not a restaurant that claims to be number one fish taco in the world. read more

Taco Nazo - Did - Seafood Near Me - South El Monte, California

My friend took me to this place because I had a craving for fish tacos. I had never been to this place, nor even heard of Taco Nazo, as there's no location in Ventura County. This place is a fast-food place with a drive-thru, but we opted to go inside to order and eat. It was very busy. Once we entered, a server asked if it was our first time there. My friend said she had been there before, but I admitted it was my first time. The server offered to grab us menus, but we said we could look at the big menu overhead. I ordered a ricotta cheese taco dorado, a bean taco dorado, and a potato taco dorado. Once I finished ordering, I realized their Baja-style fish taco was popular, so I mentally noted to order it in the future. The server who helped me earlier came over with a fish taco and offered to give me a brief history of Taco Dorado because it was my first time there. The Romeros founded Taco Nazo in 1978, starting as a food truck. In La Puente, you'll find the first physical location of Taco Nazo. And she said that they were going to give me their signature fish taco for free. My jaw nearly dropped to the floor, and I gratefully accepted the taco - and quick history lesson of Taco Nazo. I sat down inside and began eating the free fish taco, which was super delicious. It was flavorful, and the sauce and toppings definitely enhanced the flavor. Once my order arrived with my tacos dorados, they also gave me another free fish taco! The ricotta cheese dorado wasn't my favorite, but the bean-and-potato taco dorado was delicious. Hands down, my favorite taco was the potato dorado for its taste and texture. Next, I have to say I liked the fish taco best. I'm super sad there isn't a location in Ventura County because I would love to come here to try more on their menu. With the excellent service they provided, I'd like to thank Taco Nazo for an appetizing and delightful first-time experience! read more

My 1st time eating here. It was absolutely amazing! I used DoorDash and it was delivered within 30 minutes. I ordered the 3 Tacos Dorados Combo. 1 of each; potato, beans and requeson (cheese). It came with a side of refried beans, rice and chips and salsa and a drink, and I got Horchata. I also ordered the fish taco because all the reviews said how amazing it was and that's what they were known for. That was the only thing I wasn't too keen on because the fish was super tough and I couldn't chew through it. But everything was absolutely amazing. Why have I not known about this place before? Portion sizes were perfect a lot honestly but perfect. read more

Every day is Taco Day at Taco Nazo, no need for Taco Tuesday deals when the food's this good every day! It was our first visit, and we decided to share a few items. The seafood tacos definitely stood out more than the meat ones. We especially loved the ceviche, fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and surprisingly, the potato taco! The asada was just okay, but probably only because the seafood options were so much better. At around $4.50 per taco, it's easy to sample a bit of everything. Plus, the outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying your meal, especially when we have our dog with us. read more

Love this place. I ordered 3 items. 1- Michelada- definitely get it if you are into it. 2- shrimp ceviche- fire. Would reorder in a heard bit. Get some limes, a tostada and a little bit of spicy souse. Can't go wrong. 3- a taco plate. Awesome 8 taco mix and match plate to share with friends. This place is a fish taco specialty, but I couldn't pass a shrimp taco. I would recommend to try a shrimp taco, but if you want to go for a no brainer, go for the fish taco. It is thick, juicy and just great. They have their souse, a little spicy but just right for the tacos. read more

I love coming here, but today was a bit disappointing. The chips tasted old, like they were mixed with new chips. The manager said they had made them earlier. Not sure what happened. Those chips did not taste good. The restaurant smelled like sewer, like old water or something. Or if the bathroom was left open. Not very happy experience. I ate my food and had to get out of there because of how bad it smelled. read more

Now first I want to say I love taco nazo. Their fish tacos are beyond compare and the horchata is great. Sure it's a little expensive for tacos in my opinion, but the food always tastes great so I don't mind. My only gripe is that, I would hope they get my order right being that I'm paying a decent amount. I went last Friday and ordered online since I live far away. I picked up my order and my bag was really stapled shut. But I didn't see the need to rip the bag open and check since my receipt was stapled to the outside. So I figured it was double checked for accuracy. I get home. Now I ordered an 8oz salsa since I feel they can be a little stingy with it. So I ordered the 8 oz so I can have leftovers for use at home. And the attached picture is all they gave me for 4 tacos. Needless to say I was upset. But I live too far to go back and get my order right. For that reason only I took off one star. read more

This place is always a touch too expensive, but I usually enjoy my food. During my last visit, I got a mix ceviche and two fish tacos for me. That was a perfect meal with a Negra Modelo.

Taco Nazo - Mixed Mix Ceviche*** - Seafood Near Me - South El Monte, California

I love this location, as there is plenty of parking and a convenient location. Just further east from the southeast corner of Garvey/Rosemead, the restaurant is located to the right. The dining area is enclosed and very clean. Pictures of the husband and wife team adorn the exit and have a proud look from the success of their restaurants. If you're really hungry, the burrito may be your calling, but I find the tacos are more to my liking, and the taste and quantity is just right. As for service, it was quick and neat, with the burritos wrapped nicely in their traditional box, Making it perfect for a picnic or business lunch. I'll try the other Taco Nazo restaurants to find the best of the best! read more

As for fish tacos go, Taco Nazo is the place to go. Not only good food but incredibly friendly and professional staff as well; we were greeted as a valued guests with a warm friendly smile, and with an inviting "welcome" as we entered... and that is definitely worth the time to come to this place.

I can't say exactly what happened, but what we got was exceptional... truly unexpected surprise - trust me, Taco Nazo works really hard to win over its guests, and they're doing incredibly great job at it.

Hands down the best fish tacos I've had so far. The fish is perfectly breaded: thin, crispy, and not greasy. Great sauce-to-fish ratio. When you order a plate, they also give you a roasted pepper on the side that's perfectly salted with a nice peppery kick. So simple but seriously good. This place is my go-to anytime I'm craving fish tacos. Also tried the ceviche. It's a basic version, but it tastes fresh and satisfying - similar to other classic ceviches, you can't go wrong with it. If you're into seafood tacos, this spot is a must. read more

There's a lot of places that say that their seafood tacos are the best. This is the first place that I have ever had that has actually stood to the test. Whenever me and my significant other are craving seafood tacos, this place is a first on the list to go and bring anyone else. Of course, you can always order other meats, but you have to at least try their fish (and especially shrimp) at least once. It's crispy, its flavorful, its just straight up delicious bites you cannot get anywhere else with a pretty reasonable price. The only thing that has missed with me with them has been their ceviche, but that does not detract from how good every single other item I have gotten from them has been. This is a place I think everyone should go to at least once to enjoy the magic of it. read more
