Really nice guy who works there and takes your orders, great customer service from him. The carne asada burrito is really good and very reasonably priced at $12.50, 5 stars for the fact that each order comes with free grilled onions and a pepper. read more

Been coming here for almost 3 years. Damn! Last week I came by and got a asada burrtio no bean or rice was always only $14. Came back today they went up to $18 like WTH! Probably they been having more customers coming to try and wanna raise the prices up but by $4 up that's too much man. Gotta be my last time here :( read more

Tacos El Pollo was another taco spot that I wanted to visit. This is located at the corner of Marshall st and San Gabriel blvd. I went near 6 pm and it wasn't crowded. There was a few parking spots right in front of the truck. For ordering, I got to place my order right away. It only took a few minutes to get all of my items. At the time, it seemed they did not have lengua and horchata. I decided to get (1) al pastor burrito, (1) asada taco, and (1) chorizo taco. While I was waiting, I went to grab some of the topping and sauces at their bar. For seating, they had a single table with multiple chairs that I sat at while waiting for my order. The asada was pretty solid. The chorizo was slightly salty. The Al pastor was also pretty good as well. I paired these with the red and green sauces. The red had the spiciness, while the green one had flavor. I'll definitely come back to try some of their items. Note: While they accept credit card, there is an extra fee. American Express was accepted. read more

Their tacos are good, nothing special but their condiments? Their complimentary condiments is the best I've ever had! Everything is all wrapped up and nicely put together. The cucumber and radish is my absolute fave and they separate the onion and cilantro. I put everything in on all my tacos. Well done, taco truck!! read more

I like to come here after work, its one of the few places open late with amazing food, i had a bean and cheese burrito and pastor tacos, the bean and cheese was the best ive ever had, and the pastor was really tasty, good quality food, great service and a nice seating area. I definitely recommend stopping by especially on friday and Saturday nights when they are open really late. read more

(FOOD) The food is okay, I get the usual asada tacos or if I feel adventurous maybe the mulitas which are bigger than normal. The pricing is about a dollar more expensive than other places because the highlight of this place is the unlimited salsas and toppings you can get. I always get a ton of diced onions and cilantro with extra EXTRA salsa verde to go. (SERVICE) Not bad. (PLACE) I'm not sure how taco truck permits work but they definitely should have found a better spot to park at instead of the Marshall and San Gabriel intersection. Parking there is kinda annoying. (VERDICT) Food is okay. I only go for the unlimited condiments. Location is whack. I prefer Arandinos on Valley and San Gabriel but they don't have unlimited condiments so I go back and forth between the two taco trucks. read more

Na-cho NORMAL NACHOS! I absolutely love the Mexican food from this place, especially their nachos! My friend frequently orders from here through DoorDash, and I always get excited when I know they're coming. The flavors are authentic and have a real East LA feel to them, but without the long drive. One thing that really sets them apart is the separate bag of about 8 different salsas, limes, chopped onions, cilantro, and radishes that they include. While their asada burrito is legit, I prefer to order to go because the last time we visited in person, we saw some people coughing near the open barrels of salsa, so we decided to leave. Though I prefer the nachos from Michoachan Carnitas in LA, these still satisfy my cravings for authentic Mexican food without having to make the drive. read more

Tacos El Pollo - Asada nachos - Food Trucks Near Me - San Gabriel, California

A friend recommend this taco truck so came here to try them out. Got the suadero taco and cabeza nachos. I was feeling nachos so was looking forward to it. I did see past photos that weren't as appetizing, but I ordered anyways. It was yummy. Cabeza nachos The cabeza was moist and tender. Ordering togo, they put the meet with the nacho chips and the cheese separately. I know why it didn't look as appetizing. Me liking how my nachos are attacked, I removed the meat, poured the cheese in layers with the nacho chips, ripped it worth the meats, and added cilantro and onions. NOTE it doesn't come with any cilantro or onions, you'll need to ask for it. Or if you are grabbing tacos, there will be a baby in the side. Besides the extra work, I enjoyed the meal and tried to pawn them off to some friends to finish. Would definitely recommend this dish. Suadero taco I was really looking forward to this. The best suadero I've had so far is from Avenue 26, before the pandemic so not sure how they taste now, and was hoping that they can match up. Sadly it was no match. The flavoring was good, but the meats were a little on the dry side. I would definitely give 5 stars if the meat was moist and tender. Not sure about any other meat, but I would choose the cabeza of of these 2 meats. read more

Okay so their pollo is quite good, but my family is hooked on this place for their bomb carne asada. 75% of our "outside food" meals are eaten here. The operators are really friendly, parking at Marshall and San Gabriel is easy peasy. They offer five salsas - all of which are tasty (but the verde is where I live). I'm hesitant to post because I generally don't have to wait in line to eat here. The street is pretty busy at dinner time, but it's not too much of a distraction while you sit at their folding table on the sidewalk grubbing your tacos or burritos. If you're in the area pondering which taco stand/truck to hit... definitely give these guys a look. Super good stuff! read more

Love this truck because their staff are friendly and the prices are great. They are cash only and have a row of plastic seats. They have plastic forks, napkins, and squeeze containers or salsas. The salsas include a roja, verde, habanero, and aguacate. Sometimes they have tubs of onion/cucumber, radish, and limes but sometimes they only give it to you with your order. My go to order is their vegetarian burrito, side of rice (but it's a small portion), and cheese quesadilla. You can also get grilled onions and jalapeños on request. Definitely try! read more

I really liked this taco truck, up until last week. I bout a burrito and when I took a bite, I bit into a metal wire. I assumed it was from the tie that they use on the bag for the meat from the butcher. It was absolutely disgusting. Made me throw up. Never again. read more

This is now my new go to Taco spot. Cash only. It's off San Gabriel Blvd and really easy to drive by and miss. Pull over either before or after the truck. They have the list of meats listed at the window- Asada, Pastor, Babeza, Lengua, Suadero, buche, carnitas, pollo, chorizo, tripas $1.50 tacos. For all meats except $2.00 Lengua tacos Comes with a grilled onions that's super good and grilled jalopeno. The Al Pastor taco- good size and great flavor! The Lengua- is not just nice and soft like other places but super flavorful. The $4.00 mulitas are huge, but I think the cheese is overpowering the meat. In front they have your green sauce, red sauce, and avocado sauce that you help yourself with. They have this pickled cucumber that's super spicy. read more

This is currently our go to taco truck in the area, service is great, the taco man is always nice and friendly, very quick as well. Never had to wait for more than 15 mins to get our orders. I love that they scoop all the onions, cilantro, grilled onion and peppers for us. So we don't have to worry about getting it ourselves. Sauce is on the side, and you can get that yourself. I love that they leave chairs out for their customer to sit and enjoy their tacos. Price is very reasonable, food is always fresh, I always take mind to go. Parking is on the street, but I always sneakily park in the auto shop's parking lot. Recommend to family and friends Yes Return: I BEEN.. at the very least, weekly Price: Reasonable read more

On our way home, my husband and I picked up some burritos for dinner. We ordered 2 al pastor all meat burritos and a quesadilla with al pastor meat. When we got home to eat the burritos, it was so disappointing. There was barely any meat for an all meat burrito or any kind of burrito. Only pro was they gave a lot of the sides- lime, cilantro onion mix, radish, and marinated onions. read more

What's missing in San Gabriel Valley are places to go for "late night bites". Every place seems to close at 9:00 PM (even on date nights), so what's left is the food trucks. Well, we've passed this one several times on our way home from the Pasadena area and two nights ago we stopped to quench our craving for the "almost-midnight munchies". My Mexican-born-and-raised wife is very picky about her Mexican food, especially tacos. Well, I was greatly surprised that she absolutely loved all four of the street tacos she ordered. That almost never happens. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla and it was one of the best I've ever had. The truck offers a wide variety of foods and they have a nice salsa bar, including several flavorful and spicy selections. Prices are super reasonable. They provide sidewalk chairs or you can eat in your car or take-home. I definitely recommend you seek them out when you're in the area, especially looking for an after-hours bite. NOTICE: They are a "cash only" business. read more

This is my favorite Taco spot to order on Doordash. I order here atleast once a week. Everything has been amazing and never had any issues. Their meat is flavorful, they have alll of the best sauces, they hook it up with grilled onions/ veggies. I eat at a lot of tacos spots and this seems to be the only one that has everything I want/ need without requesting! Nothing I hate more than a taco spot who forgets to give onions/cilantro or sauce. Glad I can trust this place whenever I order from here and not worry about them forgetting the essentials. Plus they're open late!! read more

Not too bad! $1.50 for all tacos besides tripas and lenguas I believe. The portions are pretty big, lots of meat! One star off because my tacos were really dry. I tried the asada and al pastor tacos. I had a hard time eating it despite the amount of sauces I put in it. The tacos came with grilled onions on the side as well as grilled jalapenos. Very generous as most places only give it to you if you ask. All condiments were outside the truck. Onion and cilantro were separated which is a nice thing for people who hate cilantro! There were also many different types of salsas. Warning! The sauce in the bottle is habanero I believe. It's creamier but a bit spicier. They had chairs out which is great for those who wanted to eat there on the spot. Location is sort of dim. It's right across from where Weinersnitchels used to be. Overall, I might come back and give it another try because I really enjoyed the flavors of the meat! read more

In most days, this place usually hits the spot for nachos. When you order the nachos, they separate the cheese in a cup and the load the meat with jalapeño on to the chips. It's really nice! They also give you the grilled jalapeños and onions too without having to ask. Tonight I was craving nachos and decided to go and get some. The cook sure was having a bad day or something. I got my usual Asada nachos and noticed they didn't put it the cheese in a cup. I was okay. No big deal. Got home and opened it up and started to eat. I think they loaded the cheese on top to hide that they didn't put enough Asada on it. Plus they went up an extra buck for nachos and charge tax now too. I might need to find a different taco truck if this happens again. read more

This review is not based on their food, but rather their DISHONESTY. I recently purchased tacos, quesadillas, and horchatas for my family. When the woman taking my order gave me the total for the order, she said $60.00. I paid with card, she took the card and after a few seconds returned the card. I stood there for a second or two unsure if I'd get a receipt. She asked if I wanted a receipt and I said "No, it's okay." I then waited around, got my order, and went home. When I got home and told my family where I had gotten the food from, they asked how much it was and to double check my bank account, because they had previously been to that same place, and they were suspicious that they might have been overcharged. I checked my account and I had a charge of $66.00. This $66.00 was NOT the price she gave me. When I asked my family member what had happened that led them to believe they might have been overcharged, they remember being told $80 for the order but had a credit card charge of $88.00. At the time they had not confirmed it and simply thought they might have heard wrong. But with this pattern, it would seem they are charging a 10% tip or miscellaneous charge. I have tried calling them but there is never an answer. I plan on going back to them to ask about this issue because they cannot be doing this. If they are going to have extra charges, just tell the customer. I usually always ask for receipts but I failed to this time. Always ask for a receipt from this place, and if you pay with a credit card, check your statement to make sure they are not overcharging you. read more

Oh man, I used to love coming here. The carnitas is one of the few around (Tacos El Patron does not..) Things I love: - The Spicy Sauce.. it's creamy and I don't want to say it's Crema with Habanero? I'm probably wrong - The Creamy Green Sauce.. no not Salsa Verde, there's definitely avocado in here. - The MEATS, you know when Arby says we have the meets, nope. They have the meets. We have cabeza, lengua, al pastor.. the list is endless. It's not the same anymore, looks like the employees have changed which may have affected the perfect flavor profiles. I got Carnitas today and it's SALTY. read more

it doesn't get much better than this, if you're looking for a quick option that is still delicious this is ago too. A little yellow food truck in a parking lot, you would be amazed at how good these tacos are. Me and my sister each grabbed 3 el Pollo tacos with pico on top and all the fixings. Pickled onions, limes and marinated peppers. But I have to buy it just made you want another one read more

Only ordered two items and they still manage to get 1 wrong. Check your stuff before you leave. As for the food. They don't seem to offer much meat inside them. My quesadilla had more cheese than meat. Only thing good is its open very late otherwise I would go elsewhere. read more

Pretty upset. I try to come here for years every chance I get as I live in chino and they have the best suadero. I ordered 4 suadero to-go, they charged me $10 and it was ready super quick. I'm like ok cool. I get home and it's carnitas tacos. Super disappointed. Pretty sure they just wanted to get rid of the meat from the dude in front me that ordered just 2 tacos. I starting to think they may have overcharge me as well unless tacos are $2.50 each now. I even tipped them. Pretty lousy. read more

Me and my Wife have been coming here for a while now and we love it! The workers are very friendly! Everything about the food is delicious! The sauces too! They lay out everything you need such as napkins, lemon, cilantro and more. The only thing I would critique is the lid for the horchata cups, last time when getting our food the drink spilled all over us which was unfortunate but did not make us lose our appetite! If not for the weak lids this would be a 5 star! read more

My new favorite go-to taco truck. The workers are super kind. Everything looks very clean and the toppings are offered on the side for self serve. There's also 4 sauces that you can use. Be careful with the one in the actual bottle since it is pretty spicy. They're also always offering samples of their drinks and are generous with the meat given. GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!!! It's delicious!!!! (: read more

I am so happy there hot and new Tacos El Pollo closer to the 10 freeway on San Gabriel Blvd and Marshalls. No more long commute to Pasadena always seem too busy and pack over there. I always liked there fast and quick services. There food is delicious and tasty especially there $2 Champurrado 16 ounces hot chocolate drink or $4 large double the size. So glad to buy the drink here since not much food truck sell Champurrado. Champurrado have so many healthy benefits that also fight the flu and so and the drink taste great. All the prices included tax and it not expensive. The food is not greasy and I liked there services very much. I don't have to asked for a cup holder as they automatically given to me as well as the hot Jalapenos with carrots and onions. Free helping of sauces and sides. They got straws, nakpins, forks, small containers and clear bags for you to take home or eat there just like the one in Pasadena. They have the orange-yellowish habanero chilli pepper sauce very spicy hot in the tall squeeze bottle. The truck is located nearby the 24 hours Carlos Jr. where the traffics lights is confusing if your not around here so watched out for children as the elementary school is two to three blocks away and there no turn on red, do not block traffic and so. Love the services and food here as well as the another truck nearby at Valley Blvd which have better parking. I am looking forward to keep coming back to try all their other dishes and I can always count on the trucks being here daily. This is the best place to get late night munchies and it is the best bargains deal for your bucks taste better than any other hamburger joints which required lot of ketchup to cover up the tasteless and dryness of the meats to make it acceptable for my taste. read more

I've been here a couple of times. One of the best tacos around! The service is awesome! Don't let the empty lines fool you. Try it! I recommend trying all of the sauces. You'll find what fits you. The cucumber and onion is what made me come back again. You don't usually find it at other taco trucks. Also, try the creamy habanero sauce. It has a kick, but it's worth it! . read more

Ordered food for the family & we ate in the parking lot of car wash & the food on this visit was BAD.

This has been me and my boyfriend's favorite spot to get our taco fix over the past few months! Everything here is so delicious and we have been ordering from here through Doordash every time we get late night taco cravings and it has been amazing! Of all the taco spots that we have ordered delivery from, Tacos El Pollo always provides the most (quantity and variety) of sides and toppings. Lots of sauces, plenty of cilantro and onions, radishes, pickled veggies, and limes. I typically get carne asada, tripas, and suadero tacos, whereas the bf gets carne asada and pastor. The tacos are loaded with meat, they definitely don't skimp on the portions here. We occasionally also order the asada nachos, mulitas, quesadillas, and rice and beans. Everything we have ordered here us cooked perfectly with great flavor and really hits the spot every time. This is definitely going to be a spot that we frequent for a long time to come! read more

We always order from them on postmates and they never disappoint. They go the extra mile and give you lots of salsa, onions, cilantro radishes and limes. The food is fire and the horchata is good, which is important lol. Also, they separate the cheese when you order nachos so they don't get soggy, which is a plus if you want to order delivery! read more

So far so good! I always drove by this taco truck and always thought how it would taste and I can say it is amazing. Their tacos and burritos are delicious.
