    Taco truck .
    Oscar D.

    Came here with friends and family. I had the "Vampiros" tacos which is basically a hard shell tortilla with your choice of meat, mixed in with cheese, cilantro, and onion. Also had the "cabeza" (head) tacos and "al pastor" tacos. Over all the taste was delicious. Salsa choices are , red, green, and other combinations. Not a super great location if you want comfort , as it's a taco truck with a few tables in the street. How ever, if you are in the mood for some great tasting tacos and don't mind a little wind in you face, come here.

    Vampiro tacos (carne asada, chorizo and al pastor). Dinner 2/16/2018

    Stopped by Tacos El Culichi's truck to try their vampiro tacos after a friend swore they were the best. After trying them, I can't say they're the best vampiro tacos I've tasted but can say they come close. The tacos are hard shelled open faced with melted cheese then topped with your choice of meat, onions and cilantro. Very similar to mini tostadas. Each meat chosen (asada, al pastor and chorizo) was flavorful with the al pastor being the best. The al pastor was both crispy and juicy. Like all other vampiro tacos out there, there's lots of cheese so cheese fans rejoice. Unless someone has tipped you prior on which truck to grab tacos from on Atlantic blvd between Alondra and Compton blvd, It'll be pretty hard making a decision on which to grab tacos from since there's taco trucks lined up one after the other parked side by side. Talk about keeping your competition close! Can't speak for the others (not yet at least) but if you're looking for good vampiro tacos then make Tacos El Culichi your pick. Flavorful, reasonable and quick in preparation. Dinner 2/16/2018

    this birria spot is an absolute jackpot! Their menu's like a treasure chest, packed with classics…read more The Tacos de Birria De Res? Killer. Especially with that massive Quesadilla Grande, loaded with birria, cheese, onions, and cilantro. Flavors on point Their Sampler plate's the bomb, giving you a taste of everything - mini quesadillas, vampiros, tacos, and quesitacos. But man, those Birria Fries?

And for those looking for something different, the Keto birria taco and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Birria De Res? Perfect... Their drink lineup is simple but refreshing.

The perfect cure after a night out. It's the spot for anyone up for food adventures or just craving some comforting, legit flavors!

We had to get all the proper paper work in order to secure them at our venue. Then with a little over a month left till the wedding she tells us she's not going to cater due to a "scheduling" conflict. Knowing how hard it is to secure a vendor at a wedding venue, it put us in a really difficult situation and for that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

    It's always taco time so I wanted to give this place a try. Decided to stick to corn tortillas…read moresince they make them on site (but still a fan of flour tortillas). Wound up ordering a birria quesadilla and 3 Al pastor tacos. All with corn tortillas but they charge you $2 extra for corn tortilla on the quesadilla but they didn't charge for the consume which was good. The corn tortilla for the quesadilla was a bit thick for my preference but I think that's the only way to keep all the meat inside and not break. I suggest getting the flour tortilla on quesadillas. But, the birria meat and consume were really good. And, you get a lot of meat in a quesadilla. It's big enough for 2 people. Al pastor was good too. Still need to try the carne asada. They charge 2% fee for credit cards so bring cash unless you ordered online. No parking except street parking which can suck around dinner time as they get busy. They also have few seats inside so you see people order ahead (online or phone) and double park to pick up. And, it's best if you speak some Spanish to communicate. Having said all this, perhaps a 3.5 is my rating.

Seating is outside, perfect for a nice day. Oscar and the team are amazing -- they genuinely treat you like family and make the experience even better. You can feel the love they put into the food.

    Located next to 76…read more ********I THINK IT'S CASH ONLY!!!******** Ordered 4 tacos. I got the carne asada, cabeza, and labio. They come HOT which is perfect. Tortilla super hot. Caution. Honestly, I had no idea which one was which when I got the order. Didn't matter. They were all super tender and delicious. Perfect flavor and they give a lot of meat. So much meat you can't fold the taco and the meat falls out. Then you have to scoop up the remaining meat with your hands. Delicious. Wish I got more tacos. They have radish, onions, and cilantro for self serve. Hot sauce and verde sauce. The sauces are not too powerful and has nice flavor balance with the tacos. The hot sauce was pretty spicy. They're a creeper. They have a bench in front to sit but no tables. Eat those tacos on the spot. They should be eaten hot and fresh. If you're in Compton, this place is a must.

    First and foremost I wanted to point out that when I was waiting in line some guy on a motor bike…read morepulled up and is friends with the cooks. What bothered me the most was that this guy just got off his bike and went to the grill and started flipping items over without washing his hands or anything. Nasty! I ordered some quesadillas and they take so long even with no one else there. I was here previously and like others have said they have also skipped my order. The meat in the quesadillas is salty, I thought it was just me the first time but this second time I confirmed it's very salty.
