    This tiny taco place is situated on the end of a corner shopping plaza across from the police station. It's definitely a "blink and you'll miss it" type of place. But what you'll be missing out on if you do overlook it! There are tons of taco places in the South Gate area. This would seem to be one of many. However, their quality of food is nothing short of fantastic! They have numerous kinds of freshly prepared meats...all juicy and delicious. I got the Taco Tuesday special...$7.99 for three tacos, rice, beans, and Agua Fresca! An Agua Fresca alone will run you about 3 or 4 bucks at any taco place. I chose the carne asada, carnitas, and barbacoa for my three tacos. The meat was flavorful and tender. This is a steal for the price. My brother got a burrito and carne asada fries. The quality and quantity were unbelievable for the price. This is mostly a take-out place. I believe there were a few small tables to eat there, though. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A highly recommended hidden gem!

    I stumbled upon this place while looking for lunch during my work lunch hour. It's a small little restaurant tbh but it's nice and clean inside. I really liked the tacos. I had two asada tacos and one chicharron taco. The asada tacos, rice and bean were good but the standout to me was the chicharron taco. The meat was nice and crispy. The only downside of the plate for me was the fact that I only got one lime wedge and just one tomatillo salsa that was a little bland. I was also not the biggest fan of the horchata since it was a little too thick for my taste. That flavor of the horchata was good, I'm just not a big fan of thicker horchata.

    This taco stand that pops up only on the weekends is located on a small side street in Cudahy. They…read morespecialize in one thing only - roasted pig tacos. I've been wanting to go this spot for a while, and I finally got my chance when I was driving through the area. When I walked out to the stand, I was graded by some very friendly people and ordered a couple of tacos. One with the roasted pork meat and one pork belly. I wanted the tacos how they are meant to be served (no mods) and that is topped with minced cabbage and two mustard-based salsas. They also put a piece of crispy pork skin on the plate before handing it over. These tacos are so delicious and unique to other styles of tacos we have in LA. Because of the preparation, they eat a little cleaner and lighter than say Carnitas (I'm a big fan of both styles). The mustard salsa gives it a nice kick and zesty flavor. The pork skin, for me at least, is reminiscent to some really crispy lechon I recently had at a Filipino friend's house. Heck, the way the pork is served here is not unlike luaus or big Vietnamese special occasion celebrations I experienced growing up where a whole pig would be ordered. The mustard based salsa also reminds me of South Carolina style barbecue with their Carolina Gold barbecue sauce. Make no mistake, these tacos are very Mexican. Specifically in the style of Acaponeta, Nayarit (as stated on their sign - I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert). Parking was easy because I turned into a lot where it seems like it was an industrial business park. This place is kind of unique because when you turn onto the street it feels like you are approaching a street fair or small scale farmers market. If you wanted to, you could have a full on taco or food crawl along the street alone

    Saw this place on Instagram, so I decided to come down and try it out. I was curious about the…read moremustard based salsa/sauce. I pulled up and ordered my tacos. The owner? and chef were there manning the grill. They were incredibly friendly and very personable. I chatted with them the whole time they were getting my tacos ready. They let me know they had pork meat, and pork belly, and that they could do a mix. I went with 5 mixed tacos, 1 with "spicy" mustard salsa, and 4 with normal mustard salsa. How were they? Bomb! The mustard sauce was so unique. I've only had one other pork product with mustard based sauce (Payne's BBQ in Memphis, TN, my favorite BBQ sandwich in the WORLD) and its pretty rare to see. The tacos were fantastic! The pork was part chewy, part crispy, part gelatinous in some bites. All of it tasty! They also give you a hunk of crispy pork skin on top of the tacos, too. Really enjoyed my tacos! The spicy mustard sauce wasn't even that spicy. Both versions were delicious though and you can't go wrong with either one. Glad I stopped by and got to sample these great tacos. I will be back in the future!
