    Taco Nazo delivers. This location holds up to the same quality I've come to expect from the Santa…read moreAna 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.

    I've gone to Taco Nazo in several locations. It's one of the better seafood taco places in town…read more 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.

I wish I knew his name, but there's a guy there (shorter height and clean haircut) who gives some of the best customer service I've experienced. Super friendly, accommodating, and genuinely wants to make sure you get exactly what you're craving. One thing to note--there's a menu, but no pictures or brochures, so you kind of have to know what you want or ask. Luckily, he's more than happy to walk you through options. Nachos - Exactly how I remember nachos should be. The chips are those pre-made round ones (like Tostitos Rounds), but still crunchy and satisfying. The meats taste freshly cooked, with a nice sprinkle of veggies. And the best part--they use that classic nacho cheese and sour cream combo. The kind of cheese you'd get at 7-Eleven or a Dodgers game. Not the healthiest, but sometimes I want what I want. Tacos - Simple and classic. You really can't go wrong here. I've tried different meats and they've all been solid. Wet Burritos - Great balance of rice, beans, meat, and veggies. I've had the chicken, carne asada, and al pastor--all delicious. It also comes with a side of lettuce and sliced avocado, which is a nice touch. Side Bar - Fresh radishes, pickled jalapeños, lime, and lemon. Everything tastes fresh and adds a lot to the meal. What really stands out is how flexible they are with orders. I asked for nacho cheese on the side so my chips wouldn't get soggy--no problem. Extra salsa? As much as you want. Not sure if you want red or green salsa on your wet burrito? Get both on the side. They make it easy to customize exactly how you like it. Overall, great food, but even better service. This is the kind of spot that I don't want to review so I can keep it for myself.

    My #1 burrito and taco spot of El Monte! They have a taco truck outside their restaurant during the…read moreevening time. Not sure if it's just me, but the taco truck is a little better than the restaurant. Their carne asada burrito and tacos have hit the spot each time!!! The carne asada has a slight crisp to it and it's LOADED every time. It is a little oily but I don't mind it. The beans and rice in the burrito is delicious and doesn't overwhelm the overall texture and flavor. Tacos are just *chefs kiss* they don't put everything in the taco, however you can put all the toppings you want from their cart. I loooove their sauces!!! Both the green (the non-creamy) and red sauce is great in flavor and in spice. Green has a more jalapeño / cilantro taste and the red has a tamarind taste to it? Either way, such a great complementary flavor to the burrito and tacos! The service is usually good, every time we've been, everyone has been nice. If you pay in card from the taco truck, you would have to go inside to the restaurant. The restaurant is a little small, so it's not great for large parties, maybe up to 4-5 ppl comfortably in some spaces. When we ate their last, the server provided us chips and red salsa. It's so addicting even though it burns so good. We have tried other things like the brirria and consome, the huarache, and the mulitas. they were decently good, but I prefer their burrito and tacos more. Had to add the photo of the tacos!!

    tl;dr: one of the best in SGV. All meats are tasty, portions are great, prices are really…read morereasonable. Solid 4.5 stars You know how you always see so many taco trucks or stands on a main street? Do you ever stop by all of them and check them out? No need, I am the one who eats. My goal is to try all the taco stands in Los Angeles. Located in front of an El Monte Numero Uno market and CVS, this is one of my new finds and definitely one that I would eat at every week. Their style is like a blend of Tj and traditional taco stands. This is their setup: charcoal grill only for asada, pastor spit, stewing pot, vast condiments stand (incl. guacamole), and auga frescas. Asada is grilled nicely and retains so much flavors despite I didn't get a freshly grilled batch. If it retains grilled flavors and stays juicy after sitting in the steam bath containers, it must be seasoned well and the right cut of beef was chosen. Pastor is nicely seasoned and not that greasy. They sometimes will give you pineapples but it is still good without it. I wished it was sweeter and a bit more meat juicy but I can't fault their pastor because it's beautifully cut and roasted. Goes really well with grilled onions. Cabeza is tender and already seasoned; good amount of meat and fat (albeit more fat, makes it juicier) makes it perfect for two tortillas. Tripas is good; it may not have the best flavors but it is nicely stewed, grilled right, and tastes clean. They use store-bought tortillas but don't fret, all the flavors are there. They use the stewing meat pot's (cabeza, buche, tripas) oil to season their tortillas for grilling. Their dark red salsa is seriously perfect :D nicely roasted chiles smoke flavor combined with a thick savory consistency makes it perfect for any meats. Not too spicy to be unenjoyable but enough to make you want more. The workers told me it's a blend of arbol chiles. This is one of the best salsa I've had at taco stands. Guacamole salsa has a decent amount of avocado with the right acidity, saltiness, and creamy texture. Again, goes well on any meat. The fact that they let you scoop this yourself makes the $2 a bargain. Salsa verde is good; high acidity (I like) and a good tomatillo flavor makes this a good choice for those who enjoy a mild salsa (it's on the upper end of mild). The orange salsa (taquera) is spicy! Good smoky flavors and only a few drops are needed for a nice burning kick. I need to come back and try rest of their meats (I always get their asada and pastor every time) because I keep getting what tastes good even though I should try the rest :) Their quesadillas and alambre portions are HUGE especially if you order multiples. Give this place a try and tell me if I'm wrong. I eat tacos every week and typically drive to South LA for my likings, but this place is winning my emotions. This is the upper echelon of $2 tacos in SGV.

    Came across Mike L's review for Tacos Xaam and decided to check it out myself. Seeing the open…read morecondiments table and the unlimited sauces were pretty much what drew me in. Not sure if there are set hours that they are set up, but we stopped by on a Thursday night last week to grab some tacos for dinner. They're located on Garvey Avenue (near the back of the parking lot), in front of the Numero Uno Market - there's also a small churro stand adjacent to Tacos Xaam as well as a hot dog stand in the plaza across the street. So when we walked up to the stand, we saw one of the workers managing the meat. They have pastor roasting on a spit while some meats are inside of a pot and other meats that have already been premade. We originally only wanted asada tacos, but the worker convinced me to try the pastor. And I ended up adding a cabeza and tripa as well. I'm not a taco connoisseur, but I have to say that I really enjoyed the tacos from this stand. For one thing, they give a ton of meat! Tacos are a little pricier than the place that we usually visit ($2 a piece), but I think the quality is there - and the quantity is definitely there! Out of all the ones that I tried, I actually enjoyed the tripas taco the most. This was on the crispy side and retained its crunch as I bit into the taco. The tortillas are on the oily side with the combination of the oil and the meat, but everything tasted really good together. And of course, you have to try the asada if you're getting a taco. We ordered five or six of these - my sister agreed that it was packed with meat and really tasty. The steak was cooked well and wasn't chewy or dry. I also ordered cabeza on a whim and thought it was pretty good, but probably not my favorite. This reminded me of the beef stew meat that my mom makes at home. It had good flavor and was actually really filling, but I'd prefer asada over the cabeza. The worker asked why I didn't want to try the pastor, so of course I gave in and ordered one. I really liked the fact that this came with some grilled pineapples - reminded me of the Brazilian steakhouses! This was a little on the salty side, but with the addition of the sauces and condiments - I'd say that the taste was really good. If you order your tacos to eat there, they serve it on a plate, making it easy to load up your tacos with the condiments. If you plan to eat them at home, they offer bags for the condiments as well as sauce containers to scoop out the sauces. There was a container for lemons, onions, cilantro (love that this was by itself and finely chopped), and a spicy jalapeno pepper/onion mix that looked way more innocent than it tasted. Unfortuately there weren't any limes that night - as for the sauces, there's the guacamole, salsa verde, and two kinds of red sauces that looked super intimidating. We enjoyed the salsa verde the most - not spicy and had a nice zest to it. The people operating this booth were friendly - everything was super fast and we got our tacos within minutes. tl;dr - Tacos Xaam is definitely a taco stand you want to consider for those late night cravings! It's a little further out there than the regular SGV places, but it's worth it. They also have quesadillas, burritos, tortas, etc. I will return to get more tacos!
