This is a fantastic taco truck in the Compton area! The customer service is second to none. Some of the friendliness and sweetest people that I've met. Their menudo was amazing and their birria tacos were delicious and so tender too. The red sauce here is exceptionally spicy, so if you're a fan of hot sauces like me, then this is your place. There is street parking by the truck and all around the surrounding neighborhood. This place is not that crowded, but they deserve more attention no doubt. Such a hidden gem of Compton. I could not recommend this place more if you're looking for a delicious Birria de Chivo taco or some great menudo. It is a really authentic and friendly place. read more

Tacos Gamboa - a man ordering food from a food truck - Tacos Near Me - Compton, California

Hidden gem birria tacos. Try the Flameada. A local taco truck with Tijuana style cooking. Speaking with the man outside(I believe the owner), he mentioned all his ingredients are from Tijuana to keep the integrity of the flavors intact. Most friendly family that is always aiming to accommodate any request and make you feel at home. Fast service and at a great price. Many different options of birria, tripas, menudo amongst other things. Plenty of space to sit and parking nearby. read more

Came across this place this morning just driving down the street. Wow, am I so glad that we stopped here. This place is what you imagine when you think street food. We had Chivo Al Vapor tacos that were bomb! So perfectly tender and juicy. It also came with a little cup of broth, which was the perfect chaser to every bite. We also ordered Birria de Res tacos that were amazing. We ask for the tacos to be a little crunchy, which they fried in the meat oils, not too greasy, just perfect medium between crunchy and chewy. They also have menudo, which we didn't get but next time! I'm very surprise I am the first to review this hidden gem. There was a good line and people were standing enjoying their tacos as seats opened up. Don't be scared of eating on plastic tables and chairs in the middle of a small parking lot or you can just take out instead. Very good authentic food and nice family serving you, can't go wrong with that! Stop by if you're in the area- they are only open Friday- Sunday. read more

The greatest tacos of Birria or goat and often very tasty from early in the morning of course that is well recommended because I know them and they know how to make good food. They treat you like family. Very nice people. We ordered barbacoa and the chef came out and convinced us that they have the best birria by giving us a few sampler plates. I gotta say I agree with him they know how to get down in the kitchen. read more

AMAZING!!! I was in the area and stumbled upon this place while googling tacos. This place is actually called; Tacos Gamboa and they say it's Tijuana style. I use to frequent TJ often when I lived in San Diego and loved the food specially the tacos, when I moved up here to Los Angeles I was very disappointed by how bad Mexican food is specially the so called authentic tacos. If you've ever been to Mexico you know what a real taco is, let me tell you these Birria tacos are authentic and it's authentic goat.. One of the people that I met his name is Juan, while I was ordering he gave me a taco so I could have a sample. GOD DAMN THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING!! It had queso asadero, I recommend these tacos 100% these tacos are far from where I live but I will make an effort to go at least once a month.. Take cash because they don't except cards? But there's an ATM machine next door if you don't mind paying a $2.75 fee. read more

Bomb ass hell maann this is real Mexican cooking at it's finest Im very picky with my Mexican food
