Back here and they are still great! - al pastor: nice and flavorful - carnitas: was okay, lack the crispiness but i'm not mad about it - tripa: the best! Sometimes they cook it to crispy, sometimes they cook it with bigger temp so it's crispy but still chewy inside which is even more perfect The red salsa is nice and hot. Just perfect. Service is friendly as always. There's only one picnic table seat, but there's lots of street parking. read more

12 tacos or $30 so $2.50 a piece is a great prices. The meat was seasoned perfect. The red salsa had a strong kick to it and tons of flavor. My only issue here was the yellow store bought tortilla. They doubled them up and they were super dry and grainy. If they had home made tortillas this place would be a 5 star! read more

I'm not usually a taco truck fan, but Tacos La Doña completely changed my mind. This is now mine and my husband's absolute favorite spot to eat--hands down. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Our favorite thing to get is their asada fries--they're seriously next level . Plus, Fernando and his family are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. And the fact that they're open late (until 12!) is perfect for our late-night cravings. Highly recommend giving them a try--even if you think taco trucks aren't your thing. You might end up just as hooked as we are! read more

Tacos La Dona - carne asada fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Monrovia, California

This truck used to be so good when it was in San Gabriel! I was so happy to be driving on Duarte when I spotted this truck. I recently moved to this area and it was such a pleasant surprise to see a familiar truck I used to frequent in San Gabriel. This truck used to have what I thought was the best al pastor tacos! I recently tried them last week and was disappointed they weren't as good as I remember. Maybe it was just an off night. I will give them another try. The service was top notch though, and very generous with the sauce! read more

Tacos La Dona - al pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Monrovia, California

We were all hangry, so we didn't take a picture. This is one of my favorite food truck. it was 11 pm at night. A friend looked up this place, we parked right next to the truck, sat outside and ate their tacos and burritos. We decided to eat at the bench. I had lengua burrito (beef tongue), my gf got cabeza and lengua tacos and a friend got the Al pastor burritos. We all loved it. Service was good. They take card. Price was reasonable too; Considering Monrovia, Arcadia and temple city are is mainly Asian food, we had 4 tacos, 2 burritos, 2 drinks. Came out to be $36 They cooked them up super fast. So if you come critically hangry, you'll be satisfied. Good ambiance, it's not crowded, most people just order and pick up, some eat there but there is only one big park bench +chair combo in front of it. plenty of parking next to the truck and they brought their own trashbin next to the truck if you eat in. Eat in your car by all means. read more

This is one of the worst asada tortas I have ever had! Not only was it expensive, but the meat DIS NOT TASTE OR LOOK LIKE MEAT AT ALL! THE ONLY REASON I AM GIVING IT 2 STARS IS BECAUSE I ALSO HAD A PASTOR TACO AND THAT WAS OK. The torta had no flavor, whatever they used as "carne asada" tasted like rotten plant based meat and the bread was smelly! The only reason I did not return and gave it back was because I was too far from there when I started eating it. The taco al pastor was SMALL, but it had an "ok" taste. The salsas were old and not spicey. I ended up paying $12.00 for this nasty meal, save your money and skip their place. read more

This is the third time I gave you guys a try first 2 times I thought I maybe came late & guys were tired so I didn't mind but tonight was enough for me . First of all I got tripa tacos told you I didn't want them soggy to fry extra crispy & I repeated & they acknowledged it, the tacos were disgusting soggy almost uncooked. 2. Ordered Hotdog & sausage was uncooked & soaked in oil Got some old moldy radish that been sitting there for days probably I'm not one to leave bad reviews or try to hurt any business But this was unacceptable. read more

Tacos La Dona - radishes wrapped in plastic - Food Trucks Near Me - Monrovia, California

I dropped by this taco truck only because Tacos Don Jose on Live Oak was not open on a Wednesday. I ordered a tripas burrito with NO BEANS, to go. I came home and guess what...they put in beans. The burrito costs $13 and was particularly greasy. The price is a bit high considering that nearby trucks cost about $9 to $11. There are better options on the weekend and wouldn't bother with this place. But if you're craving it on a Wednesday night, this place will do. read more

Meh truly sums up my experience and feeling towards this food truck. I stopped by this food truck on a Tuesday night around 7:15 pm. What surprised me about the menu board on the food truck is the lack of prices. When I asked the guy in the truck what was the prices, he told me it depends on what I order. This really bothers me because this guy can change whatever he wants instead of having a consist menu price. Anyways, for the tacos, most items are $1.50- $1.75 each. This is pretty pricey for a taco, especially on Taco Tuesday. I ended up getting a chicken burrito, $8.74 after tax. The chicken was pretty dry and rather tasteless. I really should have walked away after the guy told me about the pricing and my dissatisfaction of the price of a taco. But I was rather hungry (you really should never make decisions based on hunger...) and thought I might as well get something since I was already here. I initially wanted to get a chicken quesadilla but the guy talked me out of it, saying that the burrito is better and the same price. Inside my burrito was rice and beans. I honestly didn't think something so basic as a burrito could go wrong, but this food truck proved me wrong. :/ Service was not friendly and wait time was kind of long, considering that the guy in front of me only had a small order of tacos. I am sorry that I came here because this place was a waste of money and calories (I didn't even finish my burrito). Don't come here and go to any other place for better Mexican food. read more

Tacos La Dona - a food truck with menus - Food Trucks Near Me - Monrovia, California

This cash only neighborhood food truck on Durate serves out tacos and assortments of quick comfort food. Decent menu of meat choices including cabeza, suadero, tripas, and lengua at $1.75 a taco. But the meat was a bit dry, and the sauces a little bland. This taco truck has grown from its younger days as a trailer pulled by a van. There's street parking available on Mountain Ave for easy access, and the crowd wasn't busy and the wait minimal. A small bench is available on the grass, convenient to grab gather your order before heading out. read more

I don't do food trucks...okay, I do, just not often. And mostly fancy ones at festivals, like the 626 market. After having the Al pastor burrito here though, I'm hooked! This is totally worth looking the other way, as most do to be able to stomach the food truck! My al pastor burrito, where to start. Handmade flour tortilla, excellent place to start. Handmade flour tortilla!! It's not dry, it's like those rare, doughy, moist, warm, delicious handmade flour tortillas...mmm. The inside: I'm not an al pastor fan. I only had a bite of someone's out of curiosity because they said it was Delish. That is where my habit began. This burrito has caramelized onions, I think that is what makes it different and delicious! The rest, beans, rice and all that was a follow-through. I later came and ordered my own al pastor, same...Delish. I have also tried their Chicken handmade quesadilla. Messy- be warned- but my god good!! The tacos are also pretty decent, which is why I stopped at 4 stars. They weren't 5 worthy, but definitely good. Hard to eff up a taco, you'd think, but it happens. These are good. Anyhoo, they seem to be building up a clientele (me included ^_^) so come check out that pastor and let me know what you thought read more

MY NEW TACO TRUCK!!! Came by here late Friday night with some friends and I just realized it's truck I've been passing on the way to walmart. It was my first time having tacos la dona and it is definitely not my last. In fact from now on it's going to be my go-to spot. I got the superfries here and they were SO GOOD. Fries were crispy, the cheese wasn't your regular cheese it was shredded and spread all over. Delicious and it was only $7. I feel like most places superfries are usually $8-10 so I was really surprised. The portion is pretty big as well. My friends ordered suaderno tacos and man... I'm going to forget all about carne asada for now and just keep ordering that. The meat was juicy and flavorful. I only had room for one taco that night but next time I'm definitely getting that and trying new taco meats. My friend ordered the al pastor and he said that was rly good as well. read more

Tacos La Dona - YUM - Food Trucks Near Me - Monrovia, California

Well third time is the charm right? Wrong! First 2 times I visited this place, was after a night of having some beers, thought maybe that was the reason why I didn't enjoy it. Well just went back, had al pastor, lengua, asada tacos and I can honestly say, nothing, I mean nothing had flavor. Guys are kind and truck is quick with the food, but every single meat I tried had very little to no flavor. It was cooked properly and all but no seasoning. Also every time I ask for cilantro and onions, well I get onions, missing cilantro. EVERY TIME! Green salsa is more like green paste. It has the consistency of jello. Weird. Honestly I hate putting up bad reviews but this place just doesn't belong in the taco scene. Then if you ask for salsa, they give you 1 container. Come on, the salsa makes the tacos! I originally come from Pasadena and well we had California tacos. However if you're out here in the Monrovia side, continue out to Azusa and stop at tacos el gavilan... skip this place. Could be just me but, I feel as if this is old food they have left over. Mmhmmm???? read more

Tacos La Dona - Tasteless and a waste of effort. Don't bother! - Food Trucks Near Me - Monrovia, California

Boo! Tortilla disappointment. Been here many times and maybe not as often as I want but tonight the stars finally aligned (cue the music). Ordered 6 tacos (heck ya!). Got home and disappointed that they changed the tortillas to store bought. Great Asada marinade, very tasty, great service, but just falling short of finishing that perfect meal. Don't get me wrong, the food taste good and all, but if I'm going to eat out it's for something I don't make like homemade tortillas, the asada is the easy part, especially with all the other food trucks around, I'm sure it's easier and keeps cost down, but it will definitely keep sales down. It's very unfortunate and this will probably be my last visit here. read more

Its become apparent that many of the negative reviews are people who ARENT Latino. I'm sure they know nothing of taste and well their reviews are quite irrelevant in my eyes. I being Latino and been to Mexico plenty of times can safely say that the food here is the best, the service is outstanding.Pretty much authentic. Asada here is perfect and NOT filled with fat like many of the other places around. I am not one to leave reviews at all but this place right here is one of the best mexican foods places out there. read more

I got a quesadilla, sope and huarache. They were all basically the same thing with a different name. The tortillas were too thick and doughy. Not much flavor either. The sope was the size a frisbee, weird that I'm complaining about quantity but everything was so big, too much low quality food. read more

First off, this place charges more than the place on Rosemead/Duarte. It was $1.25 per taco (asada, al pastor, carnitas) as opposed to $1. The burritos are still $5. They put the onions and cilantros on the taco for you, whereas the other place puts onions/cilantro into bag for you to put on the taco yourself. This location also gives you a boatload of salsa, limes/lemons, and radishes. As for the taste, the tacos actually tasted really good with the salsa, onions, cilantro and lemons. Maybe I was hungry, but they were very savory and I would recommend them. Came on a Sunday night, they weren't that busy. They have plenty of parking on the street they are parked on. They also have a small bench for you to sit if you wanted to eat there, but it is a small picnic bench, so maybe 6 people tops. This truck is also smaller than the other one, so ordering and picking up is from the same window. read more

I want to start off by wishing everyone a Happy Cinco de Mayo. My wife and I were excited to eat at this location after thoroughly enjoying the one in San Gabriel. However we were left extremely disappointed. First of all i wanted to talk about the price. The prices are not shown anywhere on the truck and I was not able to find a menu. We ordered a sope (asada), mulita (al pastor), huarache (cabeza), and 3 tacos ( cabeza, asada, and fish). I had no idea how big the first three food items would be. The total was $28.75 (or so they said). When I asked about why it was so expensive, I was told the sope, mulita, and huarache were $8 each (can anyone cknfi. I didn't get a receipt (yes yes, I should have), but upon checking my cc statement, it showed to be over $30. Secondly, the quality of the food. The tacos were below average. The sope, mulita, and huarache were much worse. They were all soggy (we drove less than 5 min to get home) and tasted bland. They pretty much tasted like leftovers. My stomach is churning as we speak and I'm considering putting my fingers down my throat. Once again this one is not to be confused with the Tacos La Dona in San Gabriel. I hate writing bad reviews but seeing that this was grossly overpriced, tasteless, and the total $ I was told was not the same as what I saw on my credit card, I have no reason but to give it one star. I hope this business can consider being more honest and work to gain my trust again. I would love to support my local businesses. read more

Pretty good taco truck. This is only one of only 2 taco trucks I know of in a 2 mile radius. They a good variety of items not normally offered at other trucks like mulitas and their nachos come with the white mexican cheese. I believe it's called queso fresco. Place is definitely worth a try. And after 9 pm there's not really a better option in the area. read more

I like to give places the benefit of the doubt but this is twice that they've fucked up my order. This time it cost even more $$$. Swear the people here are deaf or have a disorder of some kind. The food is only subpar and I go to it because it's closer than the other 2 taco trucks but after tonight I won't be coming back. I rather go to the truck on Mrytle in Monrovia or better yet, El Taco Taco on Live Oak. Never mess up orders and better pricing with food quality. Stay away from this truck and take the extra 3 minute drive to the other better local taco trucks. This one is a miss every time! There prices are never set, swear every week they change it up! Such a ripoff! read more
