    Lowkey taco place but was one of the better taco places I've tried ! There's a cul de sac next to Tacos Don Goyo for you to park your car and 3 tables for seating. We got 2 asada, 2 carnitas, and 2 pastor tacos. So good !

    Pastor and Asada Quesatacos.

    I've had lots of tacos in my 35 years... not many (if any) can beat the ones I had today (1/13/26) at Tacos Don Goyo. Unreal... the flavor... the FRESH tortillas... the salsa (which was spicy enough without being TOO spicy) and as you can see in the photos the amount of meat they give you is more than your moneys worth (the tacos are $4 each... worth every penny). The folks were very friendly and the service was quick! I WILL be back here regularly and telling all my work friends about this place. Well done team!!!

    Cali Burrito so bomb!
    Stephanie V.

    Solid Mexican food in Downey. First time I tried it, I had an asada mulita which was good, second time I visited I had their asada fries which were also good and the third time I had their al pastor mulita which I liked the best out of all of them but the star of the show is definitely their Cali Burrito, it's delicious! I would recommend that for sure. I also love that their tortillas are homemade which is a huge plus! The place itself is small only take out as their seating is limited and outdoors, parking is a little hectic on Telegraph so plan accordingly. Overall I would definitely recommend for some solid Mexican eats in Downey.

    Carne asada Fries with Meat
    Danielle K.

    BEST CARNE ASADE EVERRRR!!! My husband and i split the fries and wow they are amazing. Love their salsas too. Everyone is always nice. Its a walk up eatery so sometimes there arent any tables but we eat in the car with no problems. The asada is so tender and smokey - great grilled flavor just like if you made it at home. Recommend to everyone! Parking is limited as well but VERY worth it

    There's absolutely no parking here
    Crystal G.

    Now if we're going off parking. This place is a no for me, but the tacos are something spectacular. What really makes a good taco good ? Let's see the cut meat, fresh produce ,good quality tortilla and of course the salsa. This was a pricey taco experience for taco Tuesday when things are usually discounted.. $38 for eight tacos seems kinda high. The tacos were good. I heard they have multiple locations. I hope they have better parking at the other ones.

    Stopped by after a 5K run. The tacos are fresh,comes with Guacamole, Onions, Cilantro, and a slice of pineapple The tortillas seem to be fresh. Ours were Luke warm., not hot off the grill. The flavor was good.Not overly salty.The meat is cut right off of the Trumpo. This is a small taco shop with 3 bench tables outside. I will be coming back to give them another try, look for another review from me

    Sope de chorizo
    Ana R.

    Love the food here! Today was my second time stopping by. They are located on a busy street with very limited parking on the side. They have outdoor seating. They have a great variety of meats and items. Today I tried the torta de carnitas which was so good but it got soggy quite fast. My bf tried the asada burrito which was full of flavor but personally I think the meat is on the chewy side. I previously tried their sope de chorizo which I definitely recommend! The wait wasn't too long considering there was no one in line to order when we arrived.

    Carne Asada taco and quesotaco asada
    Joseph A.

    This was on my places to visit and I was glad to finally get the chance to try out their tacos. Parking was a bit challenging, but I got lucky. Let me start by saying they hand make their corn tortillas and are extremely generous with the amount of meat and guacamole they put in each taco. They also have a small salsa bar in front of their small building. I had the regular Carne Asada tacos and the Quesotaco Asada. I added the greenish and bright red salsas and lemon to both of the tacos and had some of the radish slices and dove in. They use good quality meat and the tortillas and guacamole are also good quality and provided quick and friendly service. Unfortunately, everything was lacking flavor...it was bland. I am not sure if they use salt or other spices when they make everything but I couldn't taste anything. If they could add some spices and seasonings to everything they would have amazing tacos. Maybe if I would have added salt it would have hit better.

    These photos don't do this place justice. The food is flavorful and delicious! There's handmade tortillas are amazing. There are tables on the side with some benches. Very local feeling atmosphere. We came at a really good time because a line was forming right as we were getting our food. We also had the California burrito and went with nacho cheese which made it a bit messy but was still super tasty. The jamica was perfect! Worth getting a large.

    Carne al pastor
    Elsa C.

    $4 plus a taco! Insane, I can understand if it was a nice sit down place but, an outdoor place with limited parking nah, you're better off going to Tacos Gavilan under $3 with seating area and free beans!...

    Papa Loca Pastor. Meh.
    Julio V.

    Did not live up to the recent hype. Tried their Papa Loca with Pastor. The flavor of the meat was good but the cook on it was not. The potato is supposed to be baked but they serve it like it's breakfast style cubed potatoes. Super weird. The salsas are spicy but not much flavor. The tortillas are good though I'll give them that. But I will not return.

    Dry chicken, and unmelted cheese.
    Joshua A.

    Man, wanted to give this place a better review. The two stars are for the salsa bar, and that the food was edible. Unfortunately won't be coming back. We got multiple different items and it lacked so much flavor. The salsa saved it from a 1 star. Customer service is terrible. Girl taking our order was super rude. She also was looking at me sideways because I don't speak Spanish which is wild to me but it's fine. We got a chicken quesadilla and the cheese wasn't melted at all and the chicken was dry. It was horrible. Oh the horchata was great though. 2 stars for that too. Unfortunate.

For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate.
