For the longest time I drove by the 210 Tacos truck almost every day to visit my sister who lives four blocks away from the truck. I am local too. Each time I drove by the truck I saw long lines, specially on the weekends. I said to myself, "this truck always has long lines so the food must be good." One day two years ago I finally decided to stop and order myself some food. I ordered a carne asada burrito and birria queso-tacos. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and I became a regular customer. Sometimes I ordered food three times a week. Around late summer 2023 I noticed that the food quality started to go downhill. The carne asada burrito's had mostly rice and the little meat it did have was poor quality. It had a lot of connective tissue. The rice always seemed to be under cooked and no salt. The pico de gallo had seemed old and had no taste. Before I could taste the onions, cilantro and lime juice. The birria in the tacos had no taste and just tasted like meat. Before you could taste all the seasoning associated with birria. I kept going to 210 Tacos because I understand that sometimes restaurants drop the ball a little bit and bounce right back. This was not the case and I kept getting the same results. I understand that the inflation has caused the prices of food to go up a lot but that is not an excuse for restaurants to serve bad food. A good restaurant will raise their prices but keep their high standards for the food that they serve. For example, I love Zankou Chicken. About a year an a half ago, the price of a two shishkabob skewer plate combo was $13.99. I recently went to Zankou and the same plate is now $19.00, a significant price increase from a year and a half prior. However, the quantity and quality of that plate has not going down one bit. It was as delicious as the first time that I tried it. I still go to Zankou. I do not mind paying the extra money because I know that I am getting quality food that I enjoy. When I started going to 210 a carne asada burrito was $8.00 and they were always delicious. The last time time I got a burrito from 210 (about 5 months ago) it was $10.00 and it was mostly filled with tasteless rice. I do not think that its just me that has noticed because I still drive by their truck almost every day to visit my sister. I no longer see the long lines as I use to see in the past. Usually there is no one in line or one or two people. There has been two taco stands that opened up nearby on the sidewalk that may have taken some of their customers. However, I believe that the decline in customers that I have noticed is because the quality of their food has gone down. I feel bad writing this review because I liked the guys that worked the truck a lot. They were always friendly and polite. read more

I have my daughters Quinceneara in September and I got ahold of Omar on June 29th asking about the services. I was very thorough about the requirements of the hall where the party was going to be held. The lady in charge of the hall also called him and was specific about the requirements. I had also explained the certifications that was needed and he confirmed that he had everything and we went back and forth texting until July 15th because the hall needed the certificates emailed and confirmed and I also needed the reassurance that it was good to go. He then proceeded to say his certificates were expired and he was going to renew them the next day. I never heard back from him, and I reached out and called him, and he said he was busy doing an event. I reached out the next day, and he just stopped replying to me and left me hanging. Now I was left, last minute looking for a taco man who had the availability. I felt like he was just tagging me along the whole time and was not going through with his promises. It was very unprofessional and very dishonorable. I never got to taste their food, or experience their service, but when you start out like this, I would never hire anyone who is not reliable and who is not serious about excellent customer service. This was one of the most shady experiences I have ever dealt with. This is just WRONG!!!!! read more

Delicious gluten-free vegetarian options. Perfect for your evening getaway meal. Yummmy!

I am burrito and tacos guy, and would order from Baja Cali on Washington Bl since I only live a few blocks away. When Baja Cali first opened up, their food was delicious and I had no complaints, But in the last 1/2 year, their quality has gone down significantly IMO. The last four times that I ordered an asada burrito, I felt like I was eating a rice burrito, Before you could taste the beans and carne asada, and all the other ingredients, but now they are putting mostly rice inside of them. I stopped going to Baja Cali and have kept my eye open for another place to fill my burrito and taco urges.. I live in east Pasadena and visit my sister who lives in west Altadena almost every day. I have driven by the Tacos 210 truck so many times but never stopped to order food until last week. I ordered a carne asada burrito and two carne asada tacos on day one. The burrito was big and tasted very delicious. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients. There was plenty of asada and beans inside, along with the other ingredients. The tacos were delicious too. They are a good size and I really liked the fact that they put a lot of onions and cilantro inside of them. Most places just throw in a pinch. I liked that a lot. I ordered the red sauce when asked if I wanted red or green. The sauce was devious and hot, just like my Mexican mother use to make. God rest her soul. I went back the next day and ordered another asada burrito and it was delicious and big. This time I ordered the green sauce and it was delicious, but nowhere near as hot as the red. I took a day off and went back a third time in a week and ordered another asada burrito and two beef birria tacos. Burrito was big and delicious again. The tacos were delicious too. They gave me the onions and cilantro for the tacos on the side and when I unwrapped the tacos I understood why. The meat for the tacos is so juicy that they wrap the tacos up right aways in foil so the juices do not run out. I will now come to Tacos 210 for my burrito and tacos fix. The prices are good and staff is friendly. I will order something else the next time that I stop here. Hopefully the rest of their stuff will be just as delicious. I am glad that I finally stopped and ordered food, should have done it a long time ago. read more

Amazing service. Great asada tacos. If you're in Altadena definitely stop by. Taco plate is a good deal

Very disappointed this time around. I got charged $11 for a carne asada burrito with no beans and rice. I got a very small burrito compared to the one before and two little peppers. A lot less value for $11. read more

How lucky we are in Altadena to have this Food Truck pick us!! Here on Fair Oaks and Ventura Tuesday through Sunday 5:30-11:00pm to 10:00pm on Sunday. My favorite is the Birria Combo.

Tacos 210 - Food Trucks Near Me - Altadena, California

Finally got to try this place and loved it! The address listed isn't correct, it takes you to a lot with a pizza place. The truck is actually parked on Ventura just off of Fair Oaks, in front of the now closed Baja Ranch market. We got all manner of tacos, including the quesa Birria tacos, pastor and asada tacos, a mulita de pollo, brussel sprout taco and the kale, mushroom and potato one. Everything was delicious! Even washed it down with a refreshing pineapple mango agua fresca they had available. Delicious tacos, Fast, friendly service and super reasonable. Will definitely come again soon. read more

Hands down the best tacos I've had in a while. The tacos de papa reminded me of home and all the vegetarian options were on point. They're hella friendly and waiting for my order went by fast even with a long line. I came here twice within 24 hours just so I could get another taco de chayote and try the the tacos de papa (they had sold out the night before). I also tried the jackfruit, the Brussels sprouts, the mushroom tacos. All so good! read more

Okay, I didn't know where I was actually getting tacos from because they're nearly the best I've ever had! I called beforehand to confirm they were open during Covid and they missed my call but called me back less than a minute later and confirmed they were open and serving and didn't even have a line at the time. I drove over quickly (it's right next to a Baja ranch) and put in an 18 taco order with rice and beans. The cost doesn't break the bank. They had it ready in about 5 minutes. The order came with grilled onions and perfectly grilled jalapeños which was unexpected. The picked onions and cucumber were great too and the taco meat (carne, pollo, pastor) were all equally delicious. The salsas are excellent and I don't like super spicy so the green sauces were okay. The red was pretty hot but amazing flavor!! The wrapping was solid, kept the food hot even an hour later when it finally got opened for indulgence, and we were left happy and full. I will be returning here for sure. I'd like to know if they do parties! I'd have shared a food picture but it was all gone before we knew it :) read more

Tacos 210 - Just yum - Food Trucks Near Me - Altadena, California

Well I must say.... I have seen them on Ventura at here in Altadena and always was curious as to how good their tacos and food are. I wasn't able to try everything but my favorite meat chicharron and I must say THEY ARE THE BOMB!!!!!! spicy juicy deliciousness in a tortilla. Next time I must try the Quesotaco and their vegan menu looks worthy. Their champurrado on a cold night like tonight is worth buying for 2.50. Try them out if you haven't I highly recommend them. Update 1/31/2020 Since eating here last they have gotten busier it does take a bit longer to wait for the food but it is definitely worth the wait. The chicharron was definitely improved and I could actually taste all the flavors. I dared to try the vegan style tacos and I was fully impressed. The Brussel sprouts were amazing and the vegan style tacos and queso taco was really good. I've tried the fish burrito and it's very tasty. Next...asada fr read more

Delicious! My favorite so far is the chicharrón! I was skeptical of this place at first- I mean it popped up out of nowhere up the street from my moms house. My cousin tried it first and she was amazed so I knew it had to be good. I ordered 3 tacos (1 chorizo, 2 chicharrón). My boyfriend ordered 2 quesatacos along with a small order of consomé. I didn't try the quesatacos but my boyfriend said they were mouthwatering delicious. I did try the consomé and it was BOMB. I regretted ordering a small we definitely needed more to share. My tacos were delicious!! Chicharrón was the definition of good! This taco truck also has a nice vegetarian menu. I thought that was great of them to add as many people do chose not to eat meat. I myself plan to try the vegetarian menu when I go back because based off their instagram page everything looks delicious! read more

Shout out to Tacos 210. I saw some reviews about their vegetarian tacos and decided to try them. I had one of each and they are soooo good!! I've eaten there three times in one week! My non-vegetarian friend loved the al pastor and res tacos. I spoke to the owner. He has worked in top-notch restaurants, catered for the Emmys and Grammys, and been the personal chef for several celebrities. He has some brilliant ideas for future vegetarian tacos... I am so excited to try them! read more

We are so happy Tacos 210 is in our neighborhood! And the truck is BRAND new. I had the asada burrito and my husband had them mix cabasa and asada for his burrito. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. I usually prefer hot salsa but I was happy to try theirs w only a little kick so I could taste the ingredients. Yummy! We also like their grilled onions, the nicely presented condiments and the tasty cucumber salad. The staff is very friendly and the portions are big. read more

Not impressed by Tacos 210 at all. The Birria and Pastor Tacos didn't really taste like anything besides just the basic meat flavor. Not well seasoned and depend on the hunks of meat to do it all. The carne asada was better but was harder to chew and eat. Not worth the long wait. There are better taco trucks in the area that are cheaper and less wait. read more

Just left the truck at my destination, I'm pissed I bought the asada fries I'm ready to enjoy then. Guess what very little to none asada meat. Presentation was a 5 but crumbs of asada 210 you should be ashamed of yourself. $10.00 DOLLARS for fries and cheese? Really? 210 Get Your Shit together. read more

I live down the street from this amazing taco truck. I am so glad that these amazing folks parked so very conveniently close by.

It's now the only place I dine out at. read more
