    Horchata
    Edwin M.

    My go to Taco Tuesday spot. I get at least two of everything. Tacos are flavorful and a great deal. Horchata is so bomb after a workout. A sweet refresher that always hits the spot. Service is fast and there are lots of parking to chill. Looking for late night grubs? Come here!

    Came here for Taco Tuesdays for $1.50 tacos. I ordered the Suadero and Al Pastor tacos. My fav were the Suadero because the meat was juicy and not dried. The food truck is parked right in front of a middle school so there's lots of parking in the lot. For credit card transaction, need to spend $10 and up.

    I came here with my friends, and this was my second time visiting. The last time I came was before high school, so it had been a long time. We stopped by after the gym and ordered some food. My partner and I shared the nachos, while our friends got the quesadilla and tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food tasted fresh, was well-seasoned, and wasn't overly salty, which I really appreciated. One thing I love is their salsa bar. They have a self-serve area outside the truck where you can get as much salsa as you want. It's convenient, and it's nice that they're not stingy with condiments. They also offer daily specials. We didn't order any of the daily deals this time, but they looked like a great value. If you're looking for delicious food at an even better price, definitely check out their daily specials before ordering. The location is another plus. It's right outside Jefferson Middle School in a quiet area with plenty of parking, making it very convenient to visit. Several people recommended the horchata, saying I had to try it, so I ended up getting one and sharing it with my partner. It was really good! The only thing I noticed was that it didn't come with ice, so we added some when we got home. The service was quick and friendly. They took our order right away, and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back soon.

    My go-to spot for tacos! They have different special offers every day and it great chance to try something different on their menu! The asada is my favorite and their cabeza is so tender! We got tacos and a California burritos which were both tasty. The burrito is a little more on the wet side but still delicious

    Best tacos in the 626/sgv! Tacos La Dona opens late night right in front of jefferson middle school. I come on tuesdays when tacos are $1.50 each and never disappoints. I love the al pastor and beef brisket. Both are so seasoned and mouth watering. I love the cleanliness of this place and often see the staff sweeping and cleaning up the spot. I also got the horchata and it's a great pairing to wash down the tacos with. I've been to many tacos trucks around the area but this one truly takes first place!

    This taco truck is conveniently located right in front of the school parking lot so you can park there and then order at the truck. They have a bench out as well so you can sit there. I already came here for tacos multiple times already but felt like trying something new so I got the California Burrito. They didn't give a receipt but I am guessing it is around $12-13. And I think the tacos are now around $2.50-$2.70. They take card and cash but I believe card has tax. They have the salsas and onions/cilantro out in the table in front of the truck so you can grab yourself while waiting for the food. The food took around 10 minutes are so which wasn't bad. The California burrito was nice and big and very delicious. It comes with steak fries inside with your choice of pork or beef. I went with pork after asking the lady which one she recommended. And it was good! There is also some sauce but I couldn't tell if there was any guacamole. Maybe there was but very little. But the thicker fries was just a perfect combination with the pork and sauce. The only thing lacking is a bit more meat to balance out the fries and some guacamole. I tried a California burrito at another taco truck before but this one is so much better! I will be getting this again and try the beef. I totally recommend this taco truck for tacos and burritos! They taste authentic but just a bit pricer for the tacos. I would say it is more worth on Taco Tuesdays when it is cheaper. This is my go-to taco truck spot.

    Asada and Al pastor tacos.

    This was our go-to spot in high school when it was on Duarte and Rosemead. This location has way more parking and it's easier to access. There's also a gas station next to it. It's across the street from Ducks. Hard to miss their truck when they're there. I would be careful of any illegal u-turns as there's also a police station nearby. I normally get tacos but their nachos, fries, dirty dog, and flautas are really good! They also have weekly specials. I haven't tried their fish tacos, burritos, or tortas yet but im assuming they wouldn't disappoint. Their sauce bar is basic but has everything you need. Their to-go cups are at the pick up window, probably to help with waste. I dont think their sauces are very spicy but they're fine. My fave is their salsa verde. They're open late which is nice after events. They're fast and super nice! the line can get long at times. 4/5. Would come back again.

    Lengua + Al Pastor

    I am about to say a bold statement. Thisssss ladies and gentlemen is the best taco truck I have ever had in the 626. Now before we all start arguing I have a few points to support my statement. The Al plastor here is like any I've ever tasted. Usually we're thinking the sliced meat with the pineapple on top right? But here it comes in a bit of a dice form. Now I'm not sure what seasonings or how they prepare the meat, but let me tell you they are doing it right! (In my humble opinion of course) The Al pastor has so much flavor and is sooo moist with soft onions weaving in between each bite. It's also a bit smoky I dare say? The best way to eat the Al pastor is in a quesadilla!!!!! The food always comes out quick and piping hot. I always ask for grilled onions on the side for no extra charge. Moreover I always find the sauces at other taco spots to be an after thought. But here I am in love with their orange sauce. Yes it has quite a kick to it but I really believe it makes every bite of my al pastor quesadilla magical. I'm actually drooling at the thought of eating this again. I also love their lengua! No notes. They have daily specials from Monday to Friday I believe. Also, their horchata comes in one size and It. is. MASSIVE. Sweet and refreshing (Not watery at all) with the perfect cinnamon ratio. Parking is so convenient as they've consistently parked next to a middle school so you can pull a classic taco run move and eat it at your leisure on the hood of your car hahahah Every time I try a new taco spot my mind immediately compares it with this place. More often than not, Tacos La Doña is the winner by far. Quick, succulent, mouth watering...I'm running out of adjectives! Final verdict: I can't stop taco-ing about it!!!!

    Weekly specials updated! As of 6/20/26.

    One of our favorite taco trucks! They recently updated their weekly specials. Today we tried the dirty dog ($8.50) my brother said jt was good. We also got the 2 al pastor tacos since it was the weekly special. $5 for 4 al pastor tacos, what a great deal! On top of the great price, it was delicious, especially after adding the pickled onions and green salsa. My kids love their asada quesadilla, so naturally we had to order 3, lol. ($9 each) They used to open at 5, but now they open at 4 which is great news to us!

    My experience here has always been pretty good and for Taco Tuesday the tacos are only $1.50 for pretty much every taco minus just a few. It's hard to find tacos for that price now and in terms of flavors they were pretty solid, double tortilla tacos. I also got a dirt dog which was like $8.50 and I really much enjoyed that as well. Loved that they placed all the condiments in front and it was very easily accessible. Will be my go to taco spots on Taco Tuesday since it's the best price around! They don't have tables so you'll be standing up, eating by your car, or pretty much just around. Solid price for solid tacos! Parking - Street parking or you can park at the nearby school which is in front of the truck.

    Best tacos in the 626. Highly recommend this truck for succulent meats. Tried other trucks where meats are dry. This place does it best! Plus they have tacos tuesday deal!

    Weekly specials
    Brian T.

    Taco Tuesday is great here! Most places selling tacos for $2-2.50 but on Tuesday's here they are $1.50! I got the carne asada, brisket, pastor, and carnitas. All were delicious. Carnitas was my favorite since it was crispy. I've had better for the other meats but it was still good. Decent amount of meat for each tacos and you add the cilantro and onions yourself. Ask for the grilled onions and jalapeños to add some more flavor to your taco. There's no seating here but they are in front of a parking lot with lots of spaces to eat in the car. They have trash cans scattered around parking lot.

    3 tacos and a burrito
    Will M.

    Tacos La Doña is a taco truck parked right in front of Jefferson middle school on Las Tunas. I stopped by the other day because I was craving Mexican food, and my usual taco spot had a long line I didn't feel like waiting in. Parking was easy since there are plenty of spots available at the school. I ordered three tacos (chorizo, lengua, and cabeza) and a suadero burrito. They have a sauce and condiment station right out front, so you can help yourself to all the toppings and salsas you like. The food was... decent. While the tacos were alright, the meat was on the dry side, and the burrito turned out to be mostly rice and beans. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. I ended up finishing everything and was reasonably satisfied, but it felt pretty average overall. It's an okay option if you're nearby and don't want to wait in a long line elsewhere, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    I just found another of my favorite mexican restaurant in San Gabriel…read more The place is small but cozy, the service is ok since only one person is serving but she is nice and respectful but the food, OMG it is soo good . I usually dont eat the chips before the food but this ones are soo good that we finished soon, they made it right there so they are hot and a little spicy but not much. The plates are big, you can even share or take home if you dont finish but the taste is good, we love it. I have tried garlic shrimps, enchiladas suizas, torta de pastor y sopes and really like everything. The only thing you need to be patient because they made the food when you order, but in the meantime, you can play lotería since they have the cards on the tables

But the food is pretty good taste Monday special- pupusa- revuelta and frijoles and cheese ($1.75) Wet burrito with pastor- large portions. Green sauce is super good. Choose your meat and al pastor meat is decent Enchiladas and with Chile relleno ($17.99)- Chile relleno was very good. They use a large pepper, and cooked well enough so the pepper is soft. The green and red sauce is really good. Pupusa- really good. Soft exterior but has a little texture.
