This is an underrated late-night taco spot in La Puente (also close to Baldwin Park). The tortillas are delicious, soft, have that nice flour flavor, and don't get so soggy so that you can microwave leftover tacos the next day and they still taste great. The al pastor, chorizo, and cabeza taste amazing. The chicken on the night that I did get tacos tasted a little weird. I loved the green salsa, red salsa, and avocado sauce that they include for sides. They have the perfect amount of spice and lots of flavor. Warning, the jalapenos they include are very spicy!! You get your own radish and limes that they provide for you and everything is simple, clean, and organized. I would highly recommend this spot if you're craving tacos late night or even for a large party of people. Also the 6 tacos for $12 is an amazing deal. Just be warned that if you get multiple orders and they stack it, the tacos may be flattened out. Also their Macho Burrito (can choose your own meat) is huge!! and delicious. It also doesn't easily fall apart if you keep it in the aluminum foil. The service was great. The cashier and the cook were very friendly and kind. The area is in front of a tire shop and it seems a little sketchy because of some dark alleys but that's just LA so always stay aware of your surroundings. It's in da hood!! read more

Anytime I feel the urge to travel to Mexico, I drive up to this food truck for my mini travel destination experience! I love coming here to order from the awesome kid at the cashier, always singing to his Spanish tunes. The asada meat here is a little different than your average LA Mexican asada. Seems a bit more smoky in flavor, which makes me think they use a smoker to cook their meat. I usually go between a pura carne if I'm feeling carnivorous or when I need the carbs; you can't go wrong with a $5 jam packed burrito! Definitely worth a try if you love Mexican food. read more

This review is for their catering services for 75 people. I spoke to Sheila and got all the details and pricing down. Four meats, rice, beans, garnishes, chips, salsas, plates, forks, napkins. Very reasonable price. This was done about 3-4 weeks before the event. I texted Sheila two weeks before confirming the details above. I also texted 2 days before the event confirming details again. She assured me all was taken care of and that they would be there one hour prior for set up. They arrived 1 hour early as promised. Gentleman, (Hector) was very professional. He introduced himself, kept checking in with my husband and I during the service, asking us if everything was ok. He kept everything stocked and the set up was charming. Now the best part THE TACOS....wow what delicious flavor. It was a smokey ..wood fire flavor. Everyone kept saying these were the best tacos they have had. I have to agree and the salsas were also delicious. They brought there own distilled water for cooking and steaming. Hector was great at keeping everything clean and up to code. At one point my little six pound Maltese went sniffing around where he had set up and stored things. He immediately told my pooch ...no no..off limits....lovingly but firmly... I appreciated that he was being very careful with the food. Copy of text sent to Sheila: Buenas tardes, quería decirle que el servicio de tacos estuvo maravilloso. Las carnes tenían un gusto delicioso...como a leña.,,divina. Todos en la fiesta no podían dejar de comentar, que estos eran los mejores tacos que habían probado. El arroz, los frijoles las salsas....deliciosas...no muy saladas y con mucho amor en el sabor. El caballero (se me olvido su nombre) tan genial and tan amable. Muchísimas gracias por todo...definitivamente solo la usaremos a usted en el futuro. Creo que todos se llevaron su tarjeta. Si quiere compartir mi "review" con gusto dele mi nombre y teléfono a el que esté interesado. También si está en face book , Yelp , o otro ..,e gustaría dejarle un review. Muchísimas gracias por todo su servicio. Indiana Hurley read more

Best carne asada tacos in the area. The are prepared "Al carbón" style which means charcoal bbq style. You can really taste the smokey flavor. My other go to taco is cabeza. Not fatty at all and full of flavor. Don't forget to wash it all down with an ice cold bottle of Mexican Coke read more

Delectable. Asada and Lengua tacos are delicious. The sauces make the taco. Get lots and lots of their pickled onions and grilled onions to top it off. Verdict: Delicious read more

This place is legit. Follow the crowds and you can't go wrong. Hand made tortillas make these tacos a step above others. I ordered: 2 lengua tacos - lengua was moist, melt in your mouth as it should be. 1 pastor taco - buttery 1 birria taco - you could tell the meat was slow cooked. Very tender. 1 asada vampiro - this is the reason why I rated 4 instead of 5 stars. The meat was overcooked. They hook it up with condiments. Be sure to ask for grilled onions and jalapeños since they leave that particular condiment jar outside. read more

I fucking love this taco truck . The burritos, tacos, Mulitas, and chorreadas.. everything is deoicious . The main thing I die for is the guacamole sauce.. BUT ONE THING I HATE IS 50% of the time that I go , they tell me THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MORE -__- overall good food though read more

Tacos El Compa - Their hours as of 8/04/17 - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

OK, I give credit where credit is due. My wife and I have been going to this taco truck parked outside of Lopez Tire store between the abortion clinic and Shakey's pizza parlor for a few years now. I always recommend them, the food has always been really great. Their Carne Asada has always been delicious and exceptional. The Tripas is crispy and awesome, and the green sauce they include is really scrumptious! However... Last night we went there around 10pm (Wednesday evening) and there was no one there, which is unusual. They usually have at least a small crowd there, and we were happy to step right up and order. I ordered an all meat (puro carne) carne asada burrito ($7.50) and my wife ordered 3 Tacos de Tripas. *ALL* of the meat was C O L D ! How hard is it to throw it on the flat top and heat it up??? HOT food is really important to me, especially from a TACO TRUCK! Halfway through the eating my burrito, there was a B I G piece of FAT (horrible!), which was unusual, they have always served up tasty ALL MEAT carne asada! I gave my wife a bite, and she pulled ANOTHER BIG PIECE OF FAT out of the burrito! And at the very end, ANOTHER BIG PIECE OF FAT!!! So the meat is COLD, and 3 big pieces of FAT inside my burrito??? I think NOT! Are you effing kidding me? Just when you think you found a great spot! I guess all good things come to an end... we won't be back. You won't steal MY MONEY ever again. The only reason I didn't give 1 star is because the TRIPAS TACOS were good... but they were COLD too. Adios, MF'rs. read more

Very flavorful and a full taco not like some trucks .. This really a 3.5 rating only bcus the pastor was just hard ends from the meat abd still very flavorful i will return! read more

Tacos El Compa - Delicious - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

The food is really good. The hours are very strange. Their priority is their food truck so they're rarely open at the restaurant, strange. But nice cook working there, speaks English. I call in - to make sure they're open and to order. It's tasty! Tacos, sopes. read more

Ill start with the positive. Tacos were good. I had a tripa, birria, and al pastor. The birria tacos are not wet like the caldo but its not dry as well. Tacos were good. They have chairs outside to eat and its cool but it can easily be missed when driving by. Its in an auto shop but it does look sketchy.... anyways I also had some of my friends burrito de asada. The ASADA MEAT IS NOT GOOD. idk if the meat was burned or if it waa the rice but point being the burrito de asada was not good... deffinitely one of the worst Ive ever had. So thw tacos were good but not the burrito. FYI cash only, they also have caldos de birria & posole, chorriada, papa de carne, ans other stuff. Haven't tried it however but doubt ill come back. read more

Unfortunately I'm forced to write this bad review after they were highly recommended long story short. We hired This Taquero to cater to our party of 80 people or less, paid for them to cook for 2 hour's. Half the people we expected showed up and We still ran out of chicken and asada How?? They also were only there for 1 hour and 20 mins actually cooking. We weren't going to make it an issue but it needed to be addressed. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else because it was embarrassing to us. We did complain to the owners and they said they would investigate but never got back to us. Bad for buisness.

Worst tacos I ever had. Don't get what all the hype was, I was looking for authentic tacos and I left disappointed! Carne asada meat was hard and rubbery, didn't taste like asada. Al pastor was ok, ordered rice and beans on side. Rice was yellow instead of red, both rice and beans were ok but tasted a bit overwhelming. I will think about returning maybe one more chance but who knows read more

Best authentic taco's around !! Friendly staff amazing food. Open late for the children of the night...

you know a taco spot is legit if they set up outside of an automobile shop/garage. in this case, Tacos El Compa is located on the Lopez Tires premises in the evenings. We learned the hard way that they're closed on Mondays but open the rest of the week. i dig the variety of meat (asada, pastor, carnitas, chicken, buche, tripas, sesos, chorizo, and birria) and you can enjoy the savory aromas before ever tasting the quality of their carnes. instead of only serving up tacos, they also offer burritos, tortas, mulitas (think a meat filled corn tortilla quesadilla), vampiros (think a fresh made tostada). they also open up the garage bays and have long picnic style tables with squeezy bottles of salsa verde and roja to pass around, which earns big points with me. i just wish they were a little closer, but the girlie and i will make the drive to satisfy our cravings. read more

They have theee best al pastor around .. period I love there burritos .. they have a great green sauce .. love he condiments.. closed Monday but open late when I want that late night snack read more

. My husband and I love their tacos! The carne asada tacos have this authentic taste to them that makes the different from the other tacos that I've tested before. They are really good! This is second time going to this place and we love it! read more

Was recommend this place by an old customer who swore up and down by this place. I came here because they sell birria, my tacos were extremely dry and really not that good but their asada was okay. The wait was a bit longer than I'd like but it was a Saturday night, I'll probably be back read more

The food is delish!!! Love coming by for a taco run. Tried the new plates and just as good. read more

Ive been coming here since '08 and everytime i come here its just like taking a bite into heaven. I love how the asada has that Smokey flavor that just adds that kick in every bite. The Pastor from here is absolutely the best pastor ive ever tried. They added a new quesadilla called the "QUESADILLA TROPICAL" I just cant express how GOOD it tastes with pastor . THE TORTAS ARE THE BEST!!!!! i love costomer service. every time i order something i get a smile and get asked "how am i doing" and i find it really funny how one of the taqeros names "Gordo"(in a nice way) always jokes around and knows how to make a costomer laugh. And the other taqeros are just so talented because for them to make the food the exact way or even better every time is just amazing. I LOVE LA PATRONA LUNCH TRUCK read more

Great truck here in La Puente bordering West Covina next to the Mc Donald's on Hacienda/ Fracisquito. I've only had the tacos and mulitas. Both are great, plenty of flavor and fresh. The tripas and asada here are both delicious and the service is good too. Can't complain for a late night outdoor inexpensive snack I'm glad this truck is here to save the night! read more

Tacos El Compa - Bomb tripas and asada mulitas - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

-0 rating..This is my 1st time here I I ordered a burrito with everything and tacos with onions and cilantro. The lady at the register told me she does not have cilantro. I asked her once more if she had cilantro at all? she said no. I said okay no problem we came home I had the burrito and guess what there was onion and cilantro in it.Wow what a lying *****.I could of let this go but the carne asada is not good there is no flavor at all.The food is not good.Find somewhere else to eat tacos.Fyi the meat is kida pink I sent it straight to the trash.I will not come back read more

Tacos El Compa - This is the worst tasteless burrito I have ever had.The meat is Fucken pink!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? ? - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

My wife and I tried a carne asada Burrito & quesadilla and I gotta say they are not skimpy at all. They are full of flavor and meat. Their green salsa is the best. I don't have to go to King Taco anymore. Tacos El Compa taco truck are the best so far. read more

It's Aw-ight, (ALRIGHT) that is...I've had better. But what they do have is a wide variety of fresh condiments compared to others that I've been to. I had the Vampiros and it actually looks better than it's actual taste. It's all in the MARINATION and Sauces, if I have to add a dash or two of more salt in my Carne Asada or squeeze more lime in my salsa verde, then it doesn't stand up to the test in my book. But that's just in my opinion as some of us grew up on bland and or flavorful food. To each is own, as I like Extremely Spicy Lemony Flavors in my food. I guess when you have had the best it's unfortunate that your taste testing becomes more critical from the rest. Thrucha!!! "GET DOWN DEMON!" read more

Some of our friends recommended this place and I gotta say we didn't eat all the food. Something smelled weird about the tacos. We ended up tossing the food, the meat smelled and tasted funky. I guess it's the way they cook the meat. Probably won't return here, we still can't find a decent taco truck around the area. read more

Tacos de virria decent, tripas smell amazing, jamaica very good. Music blows chunks, but, hey its an aquired taste.

Good street Mexican food! Ask for the chorriada.... It's a handmade tortilla with melted cheese, beans, your choice of meat and onions and cilantro...... Heaven!!! and I'm picky, but they are authentic and good customer service which is a plus in the truck vending business :) read more

I would never use this taco man ever!!! They are a very unprofessional company, they book you and say that you're going to come out on that day and then they never show up. They don't even have the audacity to call you or text you and say they forgot or that they couldn't make it or anything like that. Even after I called and texted them multiple times they never responded and I still haven't heard for them to this day, so I hired a better taco man. I had used them once before because they are cheap however they didn't even bring enough food and the guy ran out before everyone was even served. I would use The taco guy catering instead they are very professional and they show up early and did a great job and the tacos were really good. They brought a lot of taco meat and we even had leftovers. read more

Thank you Sheila and Daniela for catering my bday party!! Everyone LOVED the tacos and your service.

Place is bomb and food smells real good reminds me of food from Mexico and the salsas whole different story GOOD... Didn't kno until last visit that they sold champurado super good too tortillas are also hand made definitely recommend .... read more

This will be a very simple review. Booked them for a party. Didn't show up, never picked up the phone, no replies whatsoever. Save yourself the embarrassment from your party guests and choose someone else. If you want to book them, you're taking the risk of having your guest starve. 0 stars for a non-existent service and 0 stars for their irresponsibility towards business agreements. read more
