We keep coming back for our favorite dishes and there guacamole! Enjoying the background music and we seem to move back and forth from the tunes that are playing. It's a small little restaurant that has 8 tables on one side. And the other half has about 7 tables on the other side. Filled with mexica decor on one half and the other half filled with dodgers and soccer memorabilia. They serve Micheladas and Margaritas they sell a few of Mexican breads available to take home. Each dish they bring out is freshly cooked and ready for the patrons to enjoy there meal. The flavors with each dish is unique. My favorite go to dish is cheese enchiladas with beans and rice read more

Tacos DF - Muy muy delicious - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

The place has a "theme", at least memoirs of CDMX, but it seems to have a typical Mexican food it is good, there is ample seating you can order to go which is also a plus. Overall decent pricing is still preferable in comparison to other restaurants. The huarache is good and the tortas also are decent, the menudo is debatable as it's often subjective but from my opinion i liked it. Green red salsas are flavorful and the mole looks good as well as my family often orders it. Again subjective. read more

Traditional antojitos from DF/CDMX style. Pambazos, gorditas de chciarron prensado, flautas- all with the characteristic lettuce, crema and quesito on top. I went on a Saturday and it was mildly crowded but service was good. If you know a chilango this will remind you closely of their food. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and luckily we beat the crowd, as soon as we got in a large group showed up. I ordered a Tostada de Pata, personally I prefer this over the cueritos, it is topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and cotija cheese. Torta Cubana is huge and big enough to share, it has milanesa, ham, pierna, cheese, tomato, lettuce and avocado. read more

Small place on the south side of Tweedy, Downtown South Gate. Grab street parking. Great service! Friendly, Español. We ate in. Small place that feels large, with 6 booths 2 tables and a bar on one side of the restaurant. I didn't look to the other side; was that a store? We were on a taco crawl, so ordered one of each pollo, asada, carnitas, and al pastor. The carnitas was okay--with sauce. She brought us both tomatillo and red hot sauce. The pollo was absolutely tasteless; so much so, I left half on the plate. After both tomatillo and hot sauce, and still no flavor, that chicken needs to be brined! The asada was okay. But clear winner from the crawl? That al pastor. Full of flavor, begging for seconds. read more

Antes tenian muy buen servicio, está vez nunca vinierón a darnos ni la cuenta, yo la tuve que pedir. Los precios subierón mucho y lo entiendo eso en cualquier lugar, pero bajarle la calidad eso si no. Familia de 7, todos los que pidierón algo con carne asada le fue muy mal ya que era puro pellejo. Despues de años, tengo que decir que no volvería. read more

I just moved into the neighborhood and have been wanting to check this place out. I had the Al pastor huarache, de carne asada quesadilla, a pozole and some chips with mole sauce. The tortillas are handmade and delicious. The carnes asada quesadilla was full of meat, cheese and lettuce. My huarache was made with black beans, loaded with al pastor meat, corona cheese, onions and cilantro and served with a delicious green sauce. The people operating are super nice. It was quiet when I came in but it might be because it was before dinner time on a Sunday. Do yourselves a favor and come try this place out. read more

Not good. Torta was too salty, the agua de tamarindo was watered down and hardly any flavor. I do not recommend it.

Great service. As soon as you walk in they attend to you. Second time eating here will be back to try more wet burritos because they're sauce is very tasty read more

Tacos DF - Asada Wet Burrito. Red had a good kick and would prefer w/ asada. Green very tasty w/ a little kick. Prefer w/ chicken or pork - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Favorite place to get chilaquiles in South Gate. Will always come back for some even now that I live in another county. Food is good and affordable! read more

Stopped in to catch a bite as I was visiting a nearby school. The huarache con pollo was pretty good...I've never had one before, but it was recommended to me because I like sopes. The huarache is larger and thinner, like the sole of a shoe, but delicious. It was recommended that I order it without onions, and I'm glad I did. The flavor was intense enough without the added onions (or the need for a breath mint afterwards...IYKYK). My friend had the flautas, and they were more like taquitos than flautas but they were still good. The service was friendly and nice and they were very patient with me trying to order in Spanish. If my work takes me out that way again, I'll definitely go back. read more

Food was really good and it's a nice little spot. It would have been a 5 starts except the service wasn't that great. It took a while to get menus and when they finally came the waitress seemed uninterested and a tad rude. They seemed short staffed so I get it but it was a little off putting. Other than that the food was good. read more

I called this restaurant before showing up to make sure that their hours posted online were correct. They informed me that they hours were not updated and they actually closed at 8 PM, but when I showed up the woman at the counter was turning away customers that came in as early as 7:30 PM, the food was pretty good, I ordered a quesadilla and pozole. Both were very tasty and the portions were generous. However, the Agua Fresca was absolutely disgusting. It did not taste natural at all. It almost felt as if it was cantaloupe flavored Kool-Aid, and also had a weird aftertaste that reminded me of an alternate sweetener. Everything felt really rushed at the end, literally around 7:30 PM. We felt like we had to wrap up and finish. We just kept on getting weird looks from the staff. I don't care how good your food is, I still expect minimal respect and basic customer service. read more

Chilaquiles and their coffee are the best. Been going here for years and it never disappoints

Quesadilla de flor de calabaza along with the homemade salsa was delicious. The pambazo was overall ok. read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years since I was a teen. The owner is absolutely wonderful. The service staff is very attentive and if you come during busy hours when they have both sides of the restaurant open, you might have some delays in service you are always more than welcome to go to the front and grab a soda before someone attends you, and they'll just simply added to your bill For the price location and food is definitely a place to try. This is honestly a tradition that I have passed on to my son that is now a teen himself, we come here at least twice a month and they remember me since I was a kid and now that I have my son they welcome both of us, so gracefully. Now to the food my favorite would be the quesadilla prensada. The tortilla is homemade always fresh and always delicious. I've had several dishes throughout the decades and honestly never disappoints the Guaraches are awesome and a great taste to remember Mexico. Pambasos are also a great treat. As I mentioned, you can't go wrong with any dish. The ambience of this place is absolutely wonderful they music playing sometimes which it can be a little overwhelming especially if you're out to dinner with your family and you would like to have a little bit of conversation because sometimes is a little loud. But everyone here is great. The service is great. The owner is wonderful and the food is absolutely amazing. read more

*sigh* I don't wanna write this review. I wish I had a better experience but... *pinches bridge of nose* If you're gonna call yourself "Tacos DF" you best not mess around. I'm from El DF and this was definitely not like any of the good sheeet I grew up with. We ordered pambazos, an old favorite. The only thing they got right was the bread. The sauce the pambazo is dipped in was all coloring and no flavor and the inside was a hot mess. Mashed potatoes with chorizo grease mixed in, instead of the traditional cubed potato sautéed with chorizo. We ordered tostadas de pata. Again, an old favorite. The texture of the pata was good, but they added refried beans to the tostada. Child, that is some YT peepo nonsense. You do NOT add beans to a tostada de pata. You. just. don't. And the biggest disappointment of all, the quesadilla de flor de calabaza. Where I come from, raw corn masa is filled with cheese and flor sautéed with plenty of garlic and onion, then it's dropped into a vat of hot oil and deep fried to crispy-on-the-outside, soft-and-gooey-on-the-inside perfection. This was not that. This was nasty cheese, barely any flor and a shit ton of tomato (!?!), inside a thicc corn tortilla. The ratio of tortilla to filling was off and the filling had freaking. tomatoes. in. it. I don't know where the people who run this joint are from, but it's definitely NOT el DF. read more

Took my daughter for a Sunday breakfast and we had a great meal. This is authentic mexican food for a great price. Homemade tortillas and sauces. The horchata water was bomb and everything taste homemade. I had a quesadilla it comes large so only order one at a time. My daughter had a pambaso and she said it tastes just like her grandma's. Everything was good will definitely come back when i want mexican cuisine. It is a whole in the wall place. If you are not intentionally looking for it you might miss it but that is why i love this place because not everyone goes here. There is parking in the back and it wasn't busy at all. Will come back to taste other menu items. But if you are looking for real authentic mexican food that taste like your abuelita cooked it, then you found the right place read more

It's perfect for that late night meal to help cure a common cold; their caldo de pollo is delicious and fresh. The lady took my order over the phone and had our order ready when we walked in. Very friendly and attentive. Easy parking right in front and not too loud or busy-perfect! I also tried their Huarache de carne asada; a very reasonable portion and the taste was just right. read more

Great food and service, extremely reasonable prices. Very attentive servers, food had great flavor.

HOLY HOT HUARACHE, BATMAN! I stumbled across this place trying to visit Greenspan's across the street. I'm hardly in Southgate but would come back for the Huaraches they have here. For my first time, they suggested I get the chicharron huarache, which is perfect because chicharron (especially served soft) is my go to when offered. This thing was huge and filling. You won't be disappointed. read more

Tacos DF - Chicharron Huarache - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Good food, I recommend the huraches or the burritos. They have yummy caldos and also the tortas are to die for.

Cool small spot to grab a quick bite. Due to space and parking I order take out more often. However, you can drive in on the side of business (narrow driveway) and park in the back. Love their carne asada tacos, beef flautas, huaraches, and liquado de platano con chocolate (banana chocolate smoothie). I tend to order the same things so I can't speak to anything outside those items. The huaraches can be a little spicy for some because they add their green salsa which typically is mild in other places but spicier here -- still delicious though just something to ask about if you're sensitive to spice. If it's your first time, I recommend trying the beef flautas. read more
