The food is amazing but the customer service sucks. You have to have patience with the ladies because their attitudes are awful to be in customer service. If you sign up to work with people give it your all. We appreciate it. read more

We don't get it.......we just don't get it! This place is usually PACKED, so we've always assumed it was that fucking good......WRONG! While buzzing & on the hunt for late night grub, we decided to hit Giyo's up instead of Tam's. UGH! You know usually everything is DeeLicious when you're drunk? This was not the case, we ordered TONS of food & yeah, well here it goes. Super Nachos.....not Super in any way, barely any Meat & Cheese, drenched in the CHEAP toppings Sour Cream, Onions, Tomato, etc....& only the top layer of chips (way too salty by the way) had anything on them. Shrimp Fajitas.....looks more like a stew, yeah well, shell on shrimp, we're good with that but they're so fucking small it makes it difficult to peel. Despite everything being soaked in a sauce (like I said, stew) the shrimp had NO FLAVOR the only thing on that plate that was good & soaked up any spices was the potatoes, yeah you heard me....POTATOES in fajitas. Oh & we didn't get Tortillas, we got stale Torta buns that were smashed & toasted on the grill. Carne Asada Tacos.....flavorless & dry almost like jerky. They'd be nothing without the Onions, Cilantro & Hot Sauce. We left full, but far from satisfied & we can promise you, even if it was FREE.....we will not be back. read more

I ordered the nachos and tacos. First of all I usually go here, I can't believe they did bad on my last trip. The container that the nachos were in; were burnt. The styrofoam was melted on the nachos. That was so nasty. I was going to go back and make a compliant but who knows what they would've done to my food after. You never mess with people that deal with your food. Thanks to Yelp I can continue. The tacos gave my wife and I stomach aches. So something had to be wrong with the food. Like as if it was spoiled. I found a new place that I recommend. It's the most authentic place, and I do get around like the taco places that are out there on the streets. Yelp this place: Adobo I can guarantee you will go here instead. Caution it gets packed cause it's so good. read more

Good, cheap and healthy food. If you like authentic, this is your place. You can get 4 tacos and a drink for 5 bucks. This place seems to be one of the more authentic places in the area. The sauces and condiments (as it were) are self serve and well kept. I haven't yet tried anything on the menu other than tacos, but I will have to hit them up for a burrito some day. This is another restaurant for which parking is a problem. The lot they have they share with about 7 or 8 other very busy businesses. On more than one occasion we have had to find parking on the street. Not a real big deal, just something to be aware of if you decide to check this place out. Thinking about this place makes me hungry. I may have to hit them up tonight. read more

Place is not too bad. It's a quick bite if you are looking for something open late after midnight and tired of Jack in the box and Tam's. The order taker female was nice and helpful on the food. I've never seen $5 dopes but they are 2 times the size so I guess worth it. We got their taco meal with rice, beans and a drink $6.50 and are 2 more tacos $1.10. Each. Over all food was OK. Not cold,not fresh just OK. I really couldn't tell I was eating chicken. Did have taste to it. The onions and cilantro flavored it up. We were out all day and looking for new food so we came here. May or may not come again. They were out of chorizo so might go just to try. It's not like Tacos El Gavilan in Downey but is not bad for a late quick bite. We ate in their covered area. Not bad but wasn't clean. They do charge for refills 50 cents. Over all I'd give it a C+ to B-. read more

See all

I'd give this place 5 stars for their chorizo and egg breakfast plates alone, but we just had their street tacos and those were fantastic as well! I'm not quite sure how this place stays in business with the amount of food they give for the price. The breakfast plate has to be a pound and a half of food for $5, and it's fricking delicious. It even comes with corn tortillas so you can make your own breakfast tacos. The street tacos were amazing and we got 8 street tacos, 4 carnitas and 4 chicken, two orders of chips and two drinks for $15!! Oh and they have free guacamole, who does that? Ok the place may not be the cleanest, and there seems to always be a line outside, but the food is amazing and it's dirt cheap. Go check it out! read more

Man do I love tacos! ... After a long ride from Vegas these tacos hit the spot. Since I came back broke from vegas, this was a perfect place to eat. With $5 I can get a drink and four tacos, yummy tacos! My boyfriend likes their chicken burritos, but I must warn you it's a messy situation eating their burritos. They have your usual taco stand food Ceviche, Tostadas de camaron y pescado, and other mexican dishes. They close late to which is a plus for alchie's like me.. perfect sober me up food. The parking is a little funky situation, but so worth these delicious and addicting tacos! read more

Al pastor and chicken tacos = 100% legit! Their avocado salsa (the bright green one) is so good and before you leave you must ask the cashier for their caramelized onions and grilled whole jalapenos (they give it to you wrapped in aluminum foil for FREEE) which basically completes your meal!! Only 4 stars because very rarely they serve dry asada meat that has only happened on a early weekday, and their refried beans are sometimes way too salty. read more

$2 sope. But lady at the register bumped it up to 2.45 and thought I wouldn't notice, I told her the price is $2 but she said their prices are going up but they haven't posted it on the outside menu. If I wouldn't have said anything she wouldn't have notified me. I mean just look at my sope they cut a slice of tomato and just slapped it on and dumped sour cream on it. 'Wtf is that' was my reaction when I saw this. The food was ok but overall experience was bad. read more

Tacos Giyo - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

Tacos anyone? If you like Mexico style tacos, this is the place to get them. Tacos Giyo come fully equipped with all the things you will find at a Taco truck except its in a small building on Alondra Blvd. The tacos here get 5 stars any style you order. They have many tacos to choose from like shredded beef, carne asada, carnitas, lengua, just to name a few, but I almost always order chicken tacos. The taco truck style mop buckets filled with Mexican ingredients that sit on the front counter grosses me out, and causes this place to lose a star but they do keep the items fresh. Anything outside of Tacos at this place is not good. I ordered a torta, burrito and quesadilla here on three separate occasions, and all three times i regretted it. I ate the Tacos here on multiple occasions, and never regretted it. read more

*2.5 stars Only eat here after 10:30pm Nothing great. Cheap prices. The lady that just helped me tonight was on her phone arguing with someone. When she finally helped me, she had a rude attitude. No courtesy. read more

This place use to be good, I dont know what happened. Ordered a torta and barley had any meat. Wont be returning!!

The food is great here. I've been coming here to eat with my wife for years now. The food is always still satisfying and worth coming to paramount for. This is a bilingual speaking taco spot so everyone comes and enjoys the great taste of tacos Giyos read more

I like this place. But, I have like 5 friends who absolutely love this place, and no other Mexican food place lives up to Tacos Giyo in their eyes. We live by like 50 Mexican food places, and we will often drive 5 miles out of our way just for Giyo. In LA 5 miles is often a 45 min drive. Giyo is great because I can suggest going everyone is happy all of a sudden. read more

I ordered a chicken burrito with extra meat that I had to pay more for. They gave me a burrito filled with rice and sprinkles of chicken. The salsa bar looked dity and old so I didn't have salsa with my burrito... read more

Tacos Giyo - Here's an example of the portion size of meat you will get in your burrito when you ask for extra meat and pay for extra meat - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

Bad experience there service was bad and tacos tasted like they where expired

I remember when I use to give the guy 20 bucks for 50 tacos. I was born and raised by Iceland for those who know. Tacos Giyos is for those who don't know and can't find know where else to go. Lol. Go to the Blvd Bar your buks. read more

I am new to the area and was referred by a friend to this place. My friend said it was really good yada yada, well... I'm sorry but this place was not good at all. I will not be coming to this place any more. What did I get? I ordered one taco de tripas( with everything), one taco de al pastor( with everything) and one sope. The tripas and al pastor were really dry, and flavor less. To disguise the taste they tacked on loads of cilantro and onions... The tortilla taste wasn't nothing special at all as well. When it came to the sope it its one thing I will say was good was the shell. It had a very good soft texture to it. Beside that they screwed it all up by adding very little meat, lettuce almost the equivalent of iceberg lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. Im not sure if I didn't order the right things, or if the cooks didn't care. I do know that I will not be going here anymore. I don't know why this place has a long line of people every time I pass by, but I will not be one of those in the future read more

This place is great the tacos are good, horchata and drinks always taste fresh, just two days ago I tried a torta it was only worth a 2 start it wasn't good and had almost nothing but lard and I sadly had to finish it read more

Tortas! Tortas! Tortas! Your inner fat boy will love you if you take em here. Al Pastor is a must and fill up on your condiments outside from cucumbers to pickled carrots. My brother recently moved into the neighborhood and I can see him gain 50 pounds with how close this gem is near his house. For 10 dollars you can burst from the seams at this place. Now I have an excuse to visit my brother often ;) read more

I happened to to to know about this place because of my girlfriend and she lives in paramount. The al pastor tacos are delicious! You can also ask for chiles which are grilled and onions! -( For Free! ) Yummy! Also they have unlimited salsa, guacamole, and sliced cucumbers! But I have to say that the Buche tacos are not good at allllll!!!! I had to throw them because they had no taste and were rubbery.. Sad because I wish they would have tasted more savory...... =( read more

4 tacos + rice and beans = $5. Pretty good. I had the asada and pastor. Very tasty. Nothing mind blowing but still, pretty good. Salsa and condiment bar is a little too exposed to the general public for my liking but the red salsa is very delicious. I've driven by here too many times to count and finally decided to try it. I'm glad I did. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other items. Small outdoor seating only and the tables are a little sticky so beware! But as far as small, hole in the wall type taco joints go, this place is great! read more

It's an amazing place to get food. The chicken burrito I had the first time I went here was the best I've ever had in the Paramount area. The tacos are also quite nice. Prices are also very cheap. There are many food + drink combos for only $5, including 4 tacos, a burrito, a torta, and a quesadilla. Much better than Tacos Giyo #2, which is closer to my house, but has a tendency to serve dry meat and food that can be a little bit underseasoned. #2 might have improved since I went there, but from my experience the original location is much better. Note: There's not much parking in this area, and during busy times it may be difficult to even get your car inside the small plaza. I like coming here during more off-hours. read more

The Asada wet burrito is so good !!! I can eat all of it !!! Their tacos are so delicious and their service is good . They have some botana that you can have while you wait for your order or while your eating your food . Recommend this place to everyone looking to eat tacos around the area read more

Carne asada wet burrito, in green sauce. To. Fucking. Die. For. Will come back...often. Lawd my taste buds were made sweet love too. Perfect salsa, not too spicy, very flavorful, super cheesy. The rice is so aromatic, wooo. So damn good. read more

Today atv10:56 the lead order taker So lame lady that apparently didn't like me . Ordered over the phone but made the mistake of ordering for the wrong location . I'm on a bike. The lady was unkempt and rude and told me that the cook would not fill my Oder because it was ordered for the other location . The other location was closed . I called back and she was even more rude and told me it closed at 1. Never filling an order even though it was my mistake . It was just a burrito and an horchata . So I'm a black dude and the og and my Oder taker weren't to happy to see me . And I have been eating there for over 10 years . Not any more and I'm yelling every one to stay away the workers are hostile liars and possibly racist .... read more

Ordered tacos and nachos the total was about $20. The food was bland and the nacho chips were stale. They didn't give us any limes with the tacos and the salsas were not flavorful. The avocado salsa was spicy but that's all I can taste. Definitely do not recommend! read more

Great place, down to earth ppl. Let us eat outside even during the pandemic. On certain daysthey have specials

Really really good tacos! They really hit the spot and the price is great. We got four tacos with rice and beans for 7$ but they have 99 cent al pastor tacos on Thursday. The seating is outdoor and there is more seating in the back. The parking can be difficult but the wait wasn't too bad for the food. They also have cucumbers, jalapeños, and salsa in the salsa bar. Love this place, the flavors are really authentic! read more

By far the best tacos I've had. I love the green salsa and guacamole. I like to go at night when it is not too busy.

Bad service the lady didn't want to clean the table the tripas burrito were cold it's just a bad place

You gotta double check your order because the sweet old lady doesn't always hear you right but the food is killer and they have a free avocado salsa that's I usually call my order in and just pull up and grab it read more

If you're looking for decent Mexican fast food, Tacos Giyo is a great place to go. They're drive thru is a little slow, but that's because they make your food to order. Every time I've gotten take out from here my food has been piping hot when I get home. The tacos de carne asada are decent here, not the most flavorful or tender meat I've ever had, but they're pretty good. The chilaquiles are good, the salsa verde is a little too spicy for me (and I like spicy food) so I usually get the salsa rojo. The wet burrito with carnitas meat is my favorite thing to get here. I get it with salsa rojo and onions, cilantro, beans and rice and the meat is tender and delicious. They also serve it to you with some chips and garnish it with lettuce, a big slice of tomato and sour cream on the side. I have come here many times and will definitely come here again. Nothing amazing here but quick, solid good food. Very reasonably priced too. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the area. The food is always great and practically everything is $5. I frequently come here for lunch and grab food for everyone in the office. People light up when they hear I'm taking lunch orders for this place. The elderly woman who takes the orders (I forget her name) is very kind, and I think she recognizes her regulars. She often offers me free grilled onions with my order, and takes the time to make sure I know which orders have which meat. She always throws in forks, napkins, and all that stuff, as necessary. The younger woman, on the other hand, is more straightforward. She rarely smiles, and frequently forgets to put napkins in the bag. Sometimes you have to remind her things or ask for things. But all that means is you get average fast-level service or kind, warm far-above-average mom-and-pop service. This is a terrific place. I can't believe they don't raise their prices. If you have $5 (and a little time to wait in line or find a place to park), I suggest stopping here for lunch and trying it out! read more

Disgusting! Worst shrimp cocktails! Absolutely no flavor. They just fill your cup with water and throw a few shrimp and old avocado in it. I should've learned from the first time but decided to give this place another try. Never again! read more

Not real carne asada.. most likely corned beef. Watered down drinks.

Tastes horrible, meat isn't even meat, looks and tastes like corn beef. Coke tastes so watered down and the horchata, how can they call themselves a taco shop. Disgustinggggg read more

My siblings and I were craving burritos and knowing we could not ask our mother, who recently fractured her ankle, we decided to go to the next best thing and that is to go to Tacos Giyo. We live closer to the one on Rosecrans Ave but this particular Tacos Giyos on Alondra Blvd is something else. They always get my orders correct especially for a family that has members that are extremely picky with food. They pay attention to your needs unlike other places. The burritos are thick. Beware that just like most other places the burritos get filled more with rice. However, the taste is great! They deserve 6 stars since I normally buy 6 orders and never have to wait so long for them. read more

I have been coming to Tacos Giyo for quite some time now.The usual spot I hit after a workout. I can safely say that it is the best Mexican fast food joint here in Paramount. I have tasted everything on the menu. Here are some of my favorite things on the menu. Tacos: the tacos here are flavorful and even more so with the sauces and extra things you can put on them. They have a combo 4 tacos including drink is 5 bucks. So you can never go wrong with that. They have a good selection of ingredients for whatever you may order. Torta: This torta is it. There is not a single thing I do not love about it. It's pretty big for the 4 bucks. You get quite a lot. Torta de asada, flavors just blend in even with the avocado slices. Parking is a bit of a hassle, such confined spaces. Customer service could better, they tend to make mistakes on occassion. (Like not handing you your beverage). Overall this is the perfect spot to get a quick fix, you won't be dissappointed. read more

Best tacos in town! I moved from Boyle heights and have been trying to find a good taco place and I have found it. Tacos de al pastor are so delicious read more
