Asada Fries
Melanie S.

Today we decided to explore and see what food vendors were next to STIZZY. We pass them all the time on our way to/from work. We decided to try this place and we were NOT disappointed!!! I got the Asada Fries and they were effin DELICIOUS!! Let me say the pickled Red Onions and fresh Avocado were a hit with me!! My friend ordered a taco and Asada Fries and loved both. My other friend got a taco and a Torta (looked yummy!!) and loved those also!! I definitely have to get the tacos next time!! I forgot to take pics of my friends' food, I only took a pic of my Asada Fries!! Customer Service was fast, friendly and with a smile!! I think we found a new lunch spot y'all!!

They're across the street now

I'd had dinner but I had a little room left for a couple o' tacos and this place had been calling my name for months. I surrendered to the taco siren's song and dug in. The carne asada was great. Lots o' little crispy bits, good beefy flavor, very happy. The al pastor was also packed with little crispy chunks, was a little sweeter than I prefer but was good. Lots of options for condiments. I was especially interested in what looked like a sliced red onion, diced carrot combination. I had a small bite and nearly backfired like an old car. That wasn't carrot. That was diced Habanero chilis!! Yooo Baby. A big mouthful of that would have been like swallowing lava. The guys clearly enjoyed what they were doing and were having a good time. The fact that they stored their used knives in links of the chain link fence behind them made me nervous but I tried to ignore it. Great food. Tacos for $0.75. I'll be back.

Seriously this taco truck is way too legit! In the middle of nowhere loll

BEST TACOS IN LA! Try the S U A D E R O ! ! ! And tripas too omg yum..... 10 out of 5 stars. Okay, so this taco truck is literally on a random street corner with nothing around it.... Looks SO SHADY but makes the experience that much more AUTHENTIC!!! The first time my friends took me here and I saw the little makeshift taco stand my heart immediately leaped for joy because i LOVE street food and you know, the dirtier the food, the better. ;) I started getting even MORE excited after approaching the cart and seeing a huge vat of meat stewing in its own juices and fat, meat and onions already sizzling on the grill, and a whole row a beautiful condiments. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. ++SUADEROOOOO: I had never tried Suadero till I came to TEC but it's the most amazing thing ever. Suadero is a thin cut of beef from the brisket and has a very smooth texture. Once you order this the owner will take a chunk of the brisket from the stew, chop it up, and then FRY IT until it's nice and crisp but still retains it's soft, juicy interior. AMAZING. ++BUCHE: pig's stomach!! It's my freaking faves and I love that chewy texture. I actually like this even MORE than the suadero!! ++TRIPAS: I had just eaten 4 tacos (and I was on a diet -__- ) when I saw the owner take out a type of meat I'd never seen before. Being the curious fatass I am, I instantly asked him what meat that was so that I could order it next time. And being the AWESOME owner that he is, he let me try a tripas taco ON THE HOUSE!! Yum free food = yummiest food. It was so UNCTUOUS and I will def be ordering more of these next time i go. ++Cabeza: I've always wanted to try Cabeza so I did so on my second trip here. Next time i want to try it again without all the condiments because I couldn't really differentiate the flavor because my mouth was one fire from the red hot sauce. ++Lengua: The lengua is very soft and juicy; It's not fried to be crispy the way the Suadero is. Very Good but nothing to write home about. ++Condiments: The red sauce makes your mouth go on FIRE. just fyi. Their guac and green sauce will help you cool it down and there's 3 types of onions to choose from: THICK cut grilled onions, diced raw onions, and spicy slices of marinated red(?) onion! If you're a princess and think that eating street food is beneath you then DONT COME HERE. You don't deserve to eat such amazing food. GO HOME, you can't sit with us!!!! Haha jk. Get over it and go enjoy the best tacos ever. OH! And bring wet naps to wipe your hands after because there's no dainty way in eating these bad boys.

This place looks really questionable upon arriving but don't be sketched out! The food is yummmms. Walking up you'll see a big thing of carne asada cooking and the rest of the meat on the cart. Drooling already. There's a good selection of toppings and everything is well organized. There's grilled onions and peppers too! Just help yourself. They're near the grill. I'm not a fan of all the intestines and stuff like that so I just stuck with regular meats. I tried the suardero and carne asada. I liked the suardero best. Slightly crispy, not too fatty, and very tasty. You have the option to ask him to make it more crispy for you if you like it that way. Give it a try! Their horchata is good too. Must try at least once.

Hard to turn down $1.00 tacos. Meat is a little too finely chopped and didn't have any char unfortunately. For some reason they were really low on the onions and cilantro. Al Pastor tacos: 4 stars Asada tacos: 3 stars Chorizo tacos: 3 stars

Stop by and check out some really good tacos here at Tacos El Chingo.

Los Sabrosos Al Horno - 5 mixed pork tacos with mustard sauce.  So unique and so bomb!

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

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!

I love the Cabeza tortilla and 3 is the perfect number of tacos for me as they are pretty generous with the meat and avocado sauce. Been here twice and both times because we were going to a show at the Forum which is just a short drive away. It gets pretty busy around dinner time so expect a long wait as the line moves pretty slowly (everything is made/ cooked fresh!)... but the wait is 100% worth it. Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside. There was still a pretty steady stream of customers even around closing, but at least the line isn't ridiculously long. Can't go wrong with anything you order here!

I got the smaller bowl version b/c my $5 volunteering voucher can only afford so much, however the lady certainly filled up that bowl. Curry Tofu Bowl: a base of brown rice topped with a small kale salad, 2 pieces of fried plantains, curried tofu, dried cranberries, a sliver of avocado, pinto beans, and garbanzo beans/chickpeas; the meal was very substantial and filling but the curried tofu had no flavor whatsoever! The only flavoring came from the small amount of dressing on the kale salad and the sweetness from the plantains. As a curry person, I was disappointed, but nevertheless the dressing was good, sweet and citrusy. Plantains were good when crispy, but a bit weird with rice when softened. I wish for there to be a prevalent curry flavor in a curry dish, but enjoy the healthy bowl of food.
