I ordered a burrito asada and a horchata. The total came out to around $16 (not bad) The burrito was massive and tasted good. Not the best I have had but also not bad. 7/10. The horchata was ok. 6/10. Customer service was fine, not sure about the other yelp experiences but I didn't have a bad experience. The ambiance is that of a small mom and pops food spot. Dated but has charm. Would I be back here again? Yes read more

I ordered the "Naco" chicken burrito. The guy who seemed to be the owner offered on his own to mix in a second meat for me to try. I appreciated this since it was my first visit. I ended up with a chicken and steak burrito for no upcharge, so I knew the guy was just trying to make sure his customers were eating well. Service was quick and friendly. My first impression was "this burrito has some weight." I would guess it was around 1.5 to 2 lb. The burrito was generously filled and expertly wrapped. The burrito's overall flavor was traditional and comforting. The red salsa I poured on from the side had a decently roasted/smoky flavor. The closest comparison to the feeling the burrito gave me is eating a burger at an old school diner. It's what you'd expect to get from a place that's been around for decades, which is nothing fancy or trendy, but surprisingly uncommon and always welcome. I paid $9.90 (cash only) to bust my hunger and got transported back to my college days where I used to pound these kinds of burritos daily. read more

TacoNaco - Chicken + steak "Naco burrito" - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

TacoNaco is tucked away in a strip mall behind a donut shop. On this visit, I ordered the taco combination plate and it was delicious. Be sure to specify if you want mild or hot sauce when you order. I got the tacos with mild green salsa and it was still a little hot for me. I can only imagine the kick in the red hot sauce. The asada was packed with flavor and the rice and beans were good, too. The owner is the lone worker so expect a little delay when the place is busy. The menu prices are fair for the amount of food you get. Definitely recommend when in the area. Currently, it's take-out only. No CC/Debit just cash only. read more

Mom & Pop, literally. This guy has been making burritos for four decades. It's a simple and tasty place. my favorites to California burrito, chocked full and a total bargain. make sure to try the spicy salsa, terrific flavor beautiful deep red color, yet won't set your mouth (or other orificess) on fire. be extremely leery of any reviewers that have only written one pitiful review to their profile. some clown from San Francisco posted a fake review about this place. trust the people that live around here and have a few reviews to their credit read more

Stopped here the other day for a quick snack- it is super tiny inside, just a few tightly packed tables, one cook, one man at the register. It was 1:30 on a Tuesday and there were a lot of people coming in and out! All except us speaking only Spanish so I think that says a lot about the authenticity and quality! We only had enough cash to get 4 tacos, decided on all pastor. They were delicious and much more substantial servings than typical street tacos. Like needing a fork to eat what fell off as we tried to eat with our hands. Messy but so good! Wish we had tried more types. Would definitely go back to try more. I bet the burritos are bomb! read more

TacoNaco - Pastor tacos! Yum! - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

The owner guy has about the worst personality I've ever seen ! Not even worth going here anymore. The burritos are ok but not worth dealing with the awful customer service that you have to put up with to get the sub par food... read more

Super friendly man made my Asada Burrito. The Asada had tons of flavor. I dont usually eat anything with sauce but he insisted on trying his Grandmas recipe and I enjoyed it. I think the green has more a flavor I'd choose. Covid19: He wore a mask. Very clean and organized inside. [He told me about his family and that he's been open since 1979: perfect English]. read more

It's 6:30pm on a Friday. We walked up and a bigger guy was sitting inside smoking a cigarette and just said incredibly rudely said "closed". Even if you go by their posted close time of 7 p.m., it's still a store employee/manager/owner sitting down inside an unlocked restaurant, with their open sign still illuminated, SMOKING A CIGARETTE. I could be mistaken but that's not legal in California these days, right? Disgusting, illegal, and undoubtedly should be inspected by the department of health. read more

Pretty okay. Tried the three hard shell taco combo. Chicken, Carnitas, Carne Asada. Meet was good guac was good, toppings were fresh. Taco shells were store-bought and kind of bland. Portions on beans and rice were pretty small. Might have been the to go container. No fountain drinks. I will come back and try maybe the burritos. read more

Well it seems as the other reviews for this place is either Love or Hate and not much in between, Taco Naco is a small place located in a strip mall almost hidden behind another business that's located on the corner, you could easily drive right by this place and not even notice it, and whom ever laid out the parking spaces must be "Nano". Simple menu with a nice selection of meats and although they were out of a couple I wanted to try I was still able to get me four tacos, the guy tosses tortillas on a grill to warm them, then slings some meat (pre-cooked) that's held in warmers and adds some toppings onion, cilantro and salsa!, food is ready quickly.

I've been coming to Taco Naco since the 80's which is all the praise they need. That being said I guess I'll expand a bit. I just got back this morning and ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was fantastic. Along with a generous serving of chorizo it was stuffed with eggs, beans, rice, onions and cilantro. Just enough heat to give me the wake up I needed. You can't go wrong with any of their authentic burritos or tacos. This place is old school in the best way. read more

Old school spot. Been coming here for years And it's the same guy, the burritos are super fat they will fill you up, the meat is good and fresh Try the pork pastor and the Assad's tacos read more

TacoNaco - Old School Tacos the way it should be!!! - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

White as White gets guy here and I'm trying to figure out why Yelp would post the review from a Black victim. Very good taco joint, been going there for about 40 years now. If anyone can find a larger burrito, for the money, please let us all know where. I moved from that State almost 20 years ago, and it's still a must stop for me. I also know many who used to live in the area, and still stop in when in town. Is it the best you'll ever have? No, but very solid food and have never been sick or creeped out with the interior. Hot sauces are a perfect compliment to the foods they serve as well. I'll eat there until it or myself no longer exist. FYI folks, go to any hole in the wall taco shop at closing time, or first thing and there are always meats or accompaniments that are not as fresh as they were when first prepared. Just the way ALL small shops are. read more

If you like Mexican food go somewhere else. I went once and tried their beef burrito and noticed the meat tasted old. I made a mistake on giving them a second chance but they haven't changed their ways. The meat tasted the same, like old meat. I feel that the owners just don't care. If you want great tasting Mexican food then go to King taco. At last there you won't get any surprises. read more

My friend and I both got burritos there. We paid for burritos that were supposed to have loads of toppings, but they didn't have the toppings (guacamole, lettuce, etc.). They did go from $7.50 on the menu to $7, but were missing everything except chicken, beans, and cheese. We all know that guacamole's extra at Chipotle is like $2 so a two quarter discount seemed unfair. The joy of the visit was the vomiting that occurred after. 24 hours of revisiting that burrito with wet, hot acid jettisoning from our mouths. One of us lost money from lost work. One of us puked outside of a gas station on Laurel Canyon. One of us learned that minestrone looks the same going in as coming out. It's been a much more humbling experience than I expected for $7. But that's life. If you're looking to really hate food for a couple of days and lose some weight from puking, please, go to TacoNaco. read more

I had fond memories of this place. Until I went back there and my al pastor burrito dashed my warm fuzzies to bits. I remember this place had the best al pastor. Having moved out of the area, I drove back in so I could relive the good times I had there. I ordered the al pastor burrito, with cheese. The meat was extremely salty, and the flavor I had craved for several years was missing. I couldn't finish the burrito. I was heartbroken. I'm hoping it was just an off day. After all, I used to get the burritos late at night (woo, some stories to tell...), but this visit was in the afternoon. read more

Disgusting food. I asked the guy to try the meat before I purchased some large orders....man they (carne asada and al pastor) were HORRIBLE!!! Looked like it was sitting out there for days!!! Out of pity I ordered two tacos and threw it in the trash. read more

Really good, inexpensive, straight up, no bullshit Mexican food.

I ordered an asada burrito... it was just ok Too much rice... I don't know it was just meh I ended up dumping most of it I wouldn't come back The owner and employee were very nice just an average ok place... read more

One of the better "once in a while" burrito places. In American culture, we usually eat until we finish our food compared to eating until we are satisfied. This particular restaurant's rating is 3 stars because i LOVE the size of their burrito, but the burritos are too BIG. I'm sure you all think that bigger is better, but because of the eat till it's gone mentality I used to go about food...the price I paid after enjoying that monster of a burrito makes me not want this every day. So here is the info. Taco naco is on the corner of allan and san fernando...as you see in the lil map thing. It's in a small strip mall that has strange parking lines. Once inside, there's a few tables, menus, a picture menu, and a tv...and that is pretty much for the decorations. They offer a pretty good variety of meat, but with every restaurant that I try...i go with what's familiar to see if this is better than the other place. I ordered carne asada burrito, and a carnitas taco. The man behind the counter immediately threw tortillas on the flat grill to heat them up. After some time, he threw the warm tortillas on a preparing area and asked if i wanted hot sauce and/or the onion cilantro mix. I said yes. Then I watch as he piles on meat, rice and the extra stuff on the burrito...and watch as he carefully barely closes the burrito and packs it inside the foil. MAN...that thing is HEAVY. I was excited driving home because of the smell, but when I took my first bite of the salty meat with the onions, salsa, rice...I knew that this was going to be challenging. That was probably the last time I finished that burrito. I either saved or shared the following times. Recap: good because it's heavy, bad because it's heavy. and since i brought it up..."no...it's not better than the other place, not worse, different" read more

If your in the area for breakfast or lunch you have to try it. Great taco and Burrito specials. Get the Mexican Coca Cola too. read more

TacoNaco - For tacos and burritos you have to try this place. - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions. I consider myself a connoisseur of Mexican food. The food leans slightly on the American side of Mexican food in my humble opinion. The chef/owner is sometimes happy, sometimes he is grumpy, sometimes a bit of a diva but I can't give him a 4.75 so I will give him 5 stars. And let's not judge he's perkiness. Who knows what personal issues he is going through. Bottom line is this place is a gem. read more

Taco Naco is small hole in the wall Mexican food joint barley bigger than a taco truck. My first time eating there was about 25 years ago. Taco Naco was a convenient Mexican fix for years. I stopped going there mainly because I discovered Piparipau. Another great taco shack that is no more. I recently returned to Taco Naco and they still deliver. My favorite is an Al Pastor burrito with cheese, hot sauce and extra onions. Definitely more food than one should eat at a single sitting but once you take that first bite it's hard to stop until it's all gone. read more

this place is probably one of the best mexican food places in Glendale, The burritos are amazingly good, and the onions are amazing. i try to eat here atleast once a week.

I loved the veggie nachos that I got. The portions are pretty big and priced very well. The atmosphere and workers were nice and even the cops here loved it! The only thing was that it took a while to take our orders because at the time there was only one person taking orders and making the food, there was one other worker that just served us our drinks. read more

TacoNaco - The best tacos to get - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

Every time I'm in Burbank I come here, I wonder why the Burrito chains do so well, when they don't even hold a candle close to this place. Granted it is a little hole in the wall with the screen metal door and not much area to sit down to eat but you can order it to go and the son still uses the same style of cooking as his mother did years back when she ran the place. Their Burrito's, Tacos and dishes are the best in town, with the most authentic Mexican flavors around. and a little less $ then the Chains go figure, I just don't get it.This place should be packed, with a line leading outside. read more

Very tasty asada burrito. Flavorful! Beef was pretty good quality...not dry or fatty. Next time I'll have some tacos! Yes will be returning.

i drove 15 mins to this restaurant and beware.. cash only - cash only - cash only!!! read more

Five stars because the asada burrito hit the spot, but I was actually really impressed by the store owner. He fed someone for free. It's a long story. But it reminded me that there are still good people left in the world. He deserves 5 stars. read more

It was not as good as everyone saying. The owner wasn't as pleasant either. Zero flavor.

Worst place ever. Small dirty place. Ordered something simple like chicken nachos. Took a bite and chicken was rancid.

Very disappointed today. Went there at 7:11 PM which was plenty of time before closing, but they were already closed. Both YELP and the posted hours said 8 PM but not when I went there today. The door was unlocked and the workers were sitting there watching TV and told me they were closed. read more

To all the haters, here's a heads up. This place has been open for over 30 years. They must be doing something right with THAT KIND of longevity. My parents were hanging out here in HS. Ive been eating here my whole life. I live down near San Diego now and any time Im home in the valley I stop at Taco Naco. Its no white washed crappy Baja Fresh. Its legit, hole in the wall, LA style, Mexican food. I cant go enough when Im in Glendale! read more
