I can't believe I'm saying this because I've been to other Taco Nazo locations for years, especially the original in La Puente, but this was actually my first time visiting the Taco Nazo location off Grand across from Mt. San Antonio College and honestly the location is perfect. The second I walked in, it was nonstop customers coming in and out, which is always a good sign. Even with how busy it was, the staff really stood out to me. The best way I can describe them is "bien atentos," like they treat you warmly and make you feel comfortable right away, almost like family. That kind of energy changes the whole experience. The music was great, the vibe felt super homie and welcoming, and overall it just felt like one of those spots people genuinely enjoy coming back to. I ended up getting the taco sampler and it was fantastic. Everything came out surprisingly fast considering how packed the place was, and you could tell the kitchen had a solid rhythm going. It honestly reminded me why Taco Nazo has such a loyal following in SoCal. The only thing I'll mention, and hopefully it improves over time, was the health rating posted in the front. It made me pause for a second, so hopefully that's something they tighten up because the food and overall experience were genuinely really good. Still, I'd definitely come back because the service and atmosphere alone made this visit memorable. read more

My dad had never tried Taco Nazo and I just recommended trying their delicious fish taco plate. The staff was extremely friendly and not only treated my dad as a regular customer, they made his first experience there a great one! Thank you for not only having great tasting food, but also having exceptional customer service. read more

5/5 - Exceptional Food & Even Better Service I had lunch today at Taco Nazo in Walnut with my husband, and once again the food was amazing. I ordered the 3‑taco combo (2 fish, 1 shrimp) and it was perfection -- fresh, flavorful, and exactly why we keep coming back. But what truly stood out this visit was the incredible attentiveness of the manager, Matt. Even with the dining area packed, he was working the room like a pro -- clearing tables quickly so guests could sit right away, bringing condiments and drinks to customers, and even opening the door for people as they left. His energy, kindness, and genuine care for the customer experience were impossible to miss. Seeing that level of service reminded me that great hospitality is still alive and well. I made sure to thank him before leaving because he absolutely made my day. Taco Nazo is lucky to have him, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Taco Nazo - 2 Taco Combo - Seafood Near Me - Walnut, California

I ordered two tacos and a burrito. Both had shrimp that were overly battered such that you can't even identify any shrimp inside. Pretty upsetting and disappointing for a place known for seafood mexican food read more

Get the shrimp burrito it's amazing! The red salsa is great too but the green one is a little bland. 5 star service, quick and clean environment. Definitely will be back, and those yellow peppers that come with the burrito are the bomb. The only thing I would change is the green salsa but I'll just get extra red until then read more

Been wanting to try Taco Nazo for years and finally tried it and can't believe I've been missing out all these years! Got 3 fish tacos and my husband got the Al pastor burrito (despite me telling him that they are known for fish tacos) but I was glad we got to try both! Friendly and considerate service, love how they asked us if we wanted cilantro in our food because my husband is not a fan of cilantro. The fish tacos were perfectly fried and crispy, topped with cabbage, salsa, cilantro and crema. They offer green and red salsa and normally I gravitate towards the green salsa but I really enjoyed the red salsa here! It had a smokiness like chipotle or something that I really liked. Al pastor burrito was also very filling and flavorful! They even had chunks of grilled pineapple in there. I had a few bites of my husband's burrito and gave him one of my fish tacos and I loved them both. Fish tacos felt more light with the veggies while the al pastor burrito was flavorful and hefty! I gauge the cleanliness of a place by how they keep their sauce containers and their sauce containers were nice and pristine! Store and bathroom were clean as well. Would totally recommend and definitely come back! read more

Taco Nazo - 3 fish tacos! & an al pasto burrito in the corner - Seafood Near Me - Walnut, California

Located right across the street from Mount San Antonio College, this restaurant was fully enclosed and had a full counter for ordering and pick-up. The decor made the restaurant feel comfortable to eat there and was adorned with nice history of the restaurant, including the competition between other taco restautants. I ordered the grilled fish tacos and Carne Asado tacos, which are my favorite for street tacos. The staff were nice and were fairly quick filling my order. I'm looking forward to go to the Bellflower location next! read more

Taco Nazo is a staple in my world! Delicious tortas, tacos, burritos. The fish taco is legendary for being very generous huge battered white fish topped with creama, pico de gallo, and cabbage. Cilantro and onion plus lime complete it. Also worth mentioning are the fish burrito, shrimp taco, and my favorite: Potato Tacos! They also do a respectable carne asada - not sure if carnitas are still on the menu. You really can't go wrong here. Chips are the thick freshly fried type. This location is across the street from Mt. SAC. Parking is terrible, so be aware. Luckily, turnover is high - please be patient and careful. Lunch is super busy, so use their online ordering to minimize wait times. I always get my order to go- it is very tight to eat inside and can be super loud. I always check the bags before I leave to ensure I have all the salsa, napkins, lime and peppers I need- they are usually pretty consistent, but like I said, super busy, so save yourself aggravation and do a quick check! Salsa is amazing. They have Horchata and Jamaica! Service is great! I love Taco Nazo! read more

Taco Nazo - Potato taco - Seafood Near Me - Walnut, California

Got to the Nazo for the first time today and did not expect the line to snake through to Yoshinoya next door. No biggie, we just ordered doordash online (3000+ IQ play from my wife). Picked up our order in about 20 mins saving alot of time. The fish burrito I got was massive and amazing. I don't usually crave fish tacos, but their battered fish has definitely won this repeat customer. My wife got the 2 taco combo, came with loads of veggies, salsa, crema, chips, rice, and beans on the side. Not to mention, the combo came with a drink which we upgraded to the watermelon agua fresca (super refreshing and no signs of artificial taste). Employees were welcoming and very helpful in terms of calling out names. 5/5 will be back for more big back activities read more

Ive been on this tacos kick and my daughter and I went to this location where their fish tacos are . She hyped it up to me and it did not disappoint. It was so delicious and tasty. The batter was crispy just enough to give a good crunch while the fish was perfectly cooked to make it tender and flaky. The service was actually very impressive considering it was a Friday night and they were able to take our order and get it to our table quickly. The line was out the door as the dining room is very cozy and limited so if u plan to go, get there early to grab a table. Thx Taco Nazo! We'll be back... read more

We've been to this Taco Nazo in Walnut many times, and I was craving their Fish Taco today. I always like their Fish Taco, and they were the pioneers of Fish Taco since 1978. I bought 2 orders of fish tacos, shrimp ceviche, and cheese quesadillas for our late lunch today. Fish Taco ($4.49/order x 2) - The fish tacos were so delicious. They were lightly battered & fried. They are also topped with cabbage, tomato, onion, cilantro, and their signature sauce. Shrimp Ceviche ($9.99) - oh my God! They tasted heavenly. I only ordered a small size, but they gave us a lot of fresh shrimp. The shrimps were marinated in lime juice and spices, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and then topped with avocado. It was also served with tostadas and Tapatio packets. They have small, medium, and large sizes. My daughters and I loved it so much. Quesadillas in the hidden menu ($11.75) - I ordered the Cheese Quesadillas for my younger daughter, and she liked the grilled cheese in a flour tortilla and served with a side of pico de gallo, signature salsa, guacamole, and our signature sauce. We liked the Guacamole and the ranch dressing. It was a very satisfying meal. read more

It is so packed in this place...they definitely should have two registers and two people taking orders. They are super nice and they have alot of people cleaning and in the kitchen. They move pretty quickly but they are just that busy. Great location though which makes a difference. Everything is clean and fresh here. Definitely a good taco nazo read more

Worse service in my neighborhood the manager was disrespectful unqualified person with a really bad attitude I waited more than 45 minutes and the food never came I had to cancel the order I'm extremely disappointed will never go back there. read more

Honestly I can walk to this place and the food is good but not my number one spot when I think of Mexican or Mexican see good. Hear me out, it's not the food, honestly it's the prices. I think because they are across the street from Mt. Sac, that drives the prices up. Again food is not bad but the prices...damn read more

Taco Nazo definitely lives up to the hype when it comes to their fish tacos. They're sooo delicious -- super fresh, crispy, and loaded with toppings. They're also very filling. I can barely finish two because they're on the heavier side, but worth it when you're craving something satisfying. I also tried the horchata, which was decent but a bit watered down for my taste. I prefer a creamier, more flavorful version, so this one didn't quite hit the spot. Overall, the food is tasty and the fish tacos alone are worth coming back for. Just come hungry -- those tacos are no joke! read more

This location isn't as good as the one on Bellflower. I waited for almost 30 minutes. I checked on my order to find out they had a glitch in their system. Apparently, this happens often. "Matt" the manger was off and they had no one to rectify the issue. The food was ok not as good as my only experience at the other location. I had fish and shrimp taco meal. It is filling and the jicama was a 4/5 It would have tasted better if they handled the situation differently. read more

Went to Taco Nazo today to try the fish ceviche. I placed my order to go and was handed a number to wait for my ceviche. I asked a lady there if I can go to Yoshinoya which was next door to get food for my niece who was with me. As I was waiting at Yoshinoya for my niece's food, a lady from Taco Nazo walked inside Yoshinoya. She handed me my order. Surprised by the kind gesture I thanked her for bringing my food. Thank you kind lady and Taco Nazo for the great service. Btw.. the ceviche was good. read more

The food was delicious and quick. The ambience was family oriented and the service was great! Definitely coming back!

I love taco nazo bc of the food but I loved this location because of Amanda!!! She is just the sweetest, welcomes everyone as soon as they walk in, and always has a smile. Will continue to come to this location bc of her!!! Thank you! read more

New favorite taco spot. They don't do Taco Tuesday deals like Los Amigos, but you can't beat their batter-fried shrimp tacos. All their tacos are great, but the camarones/shrimp? Those keep us coming back. Tried their secret menu grilled shrimp, which is seasoned like the chilis they include on the side. Pretty good, but a little salty. I still prefer their regular shrimp. The grilled shrimp tacos are more expensive too-- $6 vs their $4.25ish batter-fried shrimp ones. The al pastor is also great, since you can actually TASTE the pineapple, and it's not greasy. Their fish taco is actually the one I would rank lower than the others. There's a kind of greasy, older oil-flavor in the batter I think could taste cleaner, like their shrimp ones. The tacos overall are amazing, and have a clean, refreshing flavor to them that isn't heavy. Their horchata is also great--not too sweet, and the cinnamon is balanced. Their large is also legit LARGE. Though to be honest, I could easily chug one by myself. PS-- those chilis they include? So spicy, but not in a painful way. The seasoning on them remind me of elotes, like in a lime-pepper way. So good. Their service is also really good! Polite, friendly, efficient, and on point! read more

Taco Nazo - taco tuesday lunchtime large Horchata - Seafood Near Me - Walnut, California

Best fish tacos I have ever eaten in my entire life. Not to mention the service they provided was elite. They even gave me a free taco because I was a first time customer. The atmosphere was nice, loved the vibes. read more

Ugh my favorite taco place ever. Used to always go to the Bellflower location but then we moved and now this is closest to where we stay when I'm So-Cal and I'm so grateful they have this one. I ALWAYS get the 3 potato taco meal which are to die for. I love the toppings and the roasted chilis are a must. The beans and rice are reportedly made without lard and chicken broth, which I believe because I never get an upset stomach after eating here. They also added a new green salsa and it is delicious! They can get quite busy and you may have to wait for a table (inside is small) but it is worth the wait. The workers are polite and keep the place clean too. They aren't pet-friendly, no tables outside but vegetarian options are great! read more

Saw it on KTLA 5 today Cinco de Mayo Taco Tuesday and right in our backyard across from Mt Sac. The parking could be a little challenging since there's a lot of eateries. Had the fish tacos carne asada chicken mixed ceviche 3 pack taco dorado everything was absolutely delicious. Prices are comparable to other places but I don't think they have any Taco Tuesday specials. Will come again and try other items on the menu Highly recommended read more

Walnut native so this is a home town hero for me. Wife and I treat this as a must stop when visiting family in the area. There are only two orders worth considering here which are the fish and shrimp tacos. I'm not a big seafood lover but the batter on these tacos and cream sauce deserve a corrido. They also serve some grilled delicious peppers on the side with lime and a salt/pepper combo that will inspire you to brave the heat to eat the peppers because they are delish. Enjoy! read more

Consistently the best Fish Tacos in town!! Service is great and it's a family atmosphere. People just enjoy being there.

We stopped by on our way to a concert because my brother-in-law couldn't stop raving about the shrimp tacos at El Taco Nazo--and they absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the shrimp taco platter, and every bite was incredible. Hands down, the best tacos I've ever had! I can't recommend El Taco Nazo enough. read more

Food was good, portion size is average. Prices are ok. The tables were not cleaned at all. Came here for quick grub one day and it was a good experience. Ordered several items to share. The shrimp cocktail was my fav and the flavor was on point. The tacos were good, fried fish taco $4.75 and the grill fish taco $5.99. I was hoping for a bit more food at that price. The only thing that was off putting was the super sticky table. I like to put my elbow on the table when I eat a taco and my elbow was sticking to the table, definitely gross. Parking was easy. read more

Watch out for this amazing place. Easy access parking in a strip mall. Chill ambiance inside with friendly staff and affordable prices. For the price the amount of food you get will make sure you are stuffed or have left overs for a other meal. The fish and shrimp are deserving of the world famous title on the ads. Please note that they don't take phone orders, they instead ask you to go to thier website to order. To this date the website ordering experience is great, they allow for customizations and there are no upcharges. Overall if you need a burrito, taco or nacho fix don't sleep om Taco Nazo read more

Tacos at taco Nazo are always amazing. I did see a roach on the wall behind me while I was eating though. Haven't been back since.

The food was really good. We had the shrimp and fish tacos. The price was reasonable

Whenever my sister mentions she's ordering from Taco Nazi, she orders A LOT! She orders burritos, tacos of various types, (and quesadillas for her picky kids). They are so generous with their condiments - sauces and pickled jalapenos. They are too spicy for me but my husband likes them. I believe they have chips too. They don't skimp on ingredients. We're big fans. read more

Always great food and service when I come! Same delicious flavors every-time! Don't forget my sandía

Brought a friend to try Taco Nazo for the first time and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The service right from the start is amazing, the lady working up front is friendly and helpful. The watermelon Fresca is a must, so fresh and refreshing. But the main character are the fish tacos, the fish is hot and crispy, the veggies have a nice crisp to them, the sauces work perfectly together. They place does get busy so expect a wait at certain times. Must try if you're ever in the area! read more
