I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

Heart of Whittier spot that definitely delivers. It's my first time here and the food is so good,…read moreservice is wonderful, the carne asada is seasoned just right, super flavorful and not dry at all. The pickled onions? Obsessed. They add the perfect tangy kick. The al pastor was a standout too amazing seasoning with that hint of pineapple that gives it the perfect balance of savory and sweet. The ambiance is pretty chill and they do have an inside dining area. Will definitely come back when I'm in LA.

Tried Tacos Y Que after seeing all the great Yelp reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype…read more I ordered the asada burrito, and it was solid--well-balanced, flavorful, and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell they pay attention to quality and execution. The shop itself is neat and clean, with a simple setup. Customer service was minimal but still friendly and efficient, which worked fine for me. The only small drawback was the beans in the burrito--I personally prefer refried over whole beans, but that's just a personal preference and didn't take away much from the overall experience. Overall, a great spot that's worth checking out if you're in the area. I'd definitely come back to try more items.

*** Cash only & raising taco price to $2.50 starting in mid August ***…read more Chema's Tacos is a mom-and-pop + brick-and-mortar taco shop in Whittier and was established in 1986. They only sell taco - no burrito, no beans & rice, and no chips. [Parking]: Limited and few spots available right in front of the taco shop. However I had no issue finding a spot on Saturday night. [Ambiance & Amenities]: This taco shop doesn't have the sexiest decor. There are 7 indoor tables, one ATM, and old-school toy vending machines. One unisex restroom available. [Menu]: 7 meat options for taco - carne asada, al pastor, tripas, pollo (chicken), sesos (brain), buche (stomach), cabeza (head), and chorizo (sausage). *** Carne asada taco + Al pastor taco (with everything, dine-in - $2.25): One of employees brought a plate of tacos to my table. Unfortunately I thought both tacos with double-layer tortilla tasted just alright - salsa had a hint of spicy kick, but flavor profile was bland. *** Feels like this is one of those nostalgia spots for locals who live in Whittier for decades, but there are just too many good $2+ street tacos in LA in 2025.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

The tortillas were nicely fried, giving them a great texture and sturdiness that held up well to the fillings. The lengua and cabeza were the highlights--tender, flavorful, and cooked properly. The chicken was also solid and well-seasoned. One odd note: asada wasn't included in the Taco Tuesday specials, which felt a little strange given that it's usually a staple option. Still, the asada itself was decent, just not a standout. The salsas were good, with flavors that clearly felt inspired by (or very similar to) the classic King Taco-style salsas--familiar, comforting, and satisfying with the tacos. Overall, a dependable taco spot with strong tortillas, good salsas, and solid meats. Worth a stop, especially if you're a fan of lengua or cabeza.
