We were looking for some good tacos after an intense game of futbol, and we came across Tacos Los Carnales. When we saw the long line, we figured that was usually a good sign--and we were right! Luckily, the line moved pretty quickly. They have a lot of options to choose from, but I went with the tacos al pastor, a mulita de asada, and a quesabirria. I also grabbed an horchata. Everything was delicious, but the handmade tortillas really took the tacos to another level. You can definitely taste the difference! The salsas and grilled onions added even more flavor, and despite the line, it was definitely worth the wait. After a long game of futbol, this was exactly what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend Tacos Los Carnales. Whenever I'm back in the area, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

If you're looking for some late-night tacos, stop searching. You found the spot! They have plenty on the menu, but I'm a creature of habit--I stick with the tacos and burritos. Plenty of meats to choose from, and everything I've had is juicy, packed with flavor, and served hot. The staff is always friendly and the service is surprisingly fast. And don't let the line scare you! Yes, they get BUSY, but these guys move. By the time you make your way through the onion, cilantro, and salsa bar and convince yourself you definitely need "just one more salsa," your food is usually ready. Many nights they're making fresh tortillas right there on the side. Fresh, hot tortillas + juicy, flavorful meat + some jammin' salsa = late-night happiness. At that point, calories don't count anyway. One of the coolest things has been watching this locally owned business grow. I've seen them go from a modest used roach coach, to a shiny new white roach coach, to a fully branded and wrapped roach coach...and now the man has REALLY upgraded! Huge detached mobile kitchen being pulled by a brand-new Super Duty truck. My guy went from taco truck to taco EMPIRE! And you know what? Good for them. They've earned it. Fair prices, clean setup, great food, fast service, and they treat their customers right. There's a reason they always have a line. Keep doing what you're doing. I'll keep showing up hungry! read more

We been here twice, and both times were really good times. The wife and I stopped by and wanted some birria tacos and a burrito, usually what we get when we get street food. The people were nice and had a lot of options for salsas, unlimited guacamole, beans, grilled onions and more. The price was a bit in the higher end, we got a a burrito Al pastor, 4 birria tacos and two drinks and it was $40. But it's worth it to us cause all the sides they offered. The quality of the food was great solid 7/10, good flavor and the burrito was huge! The staff as friendly and answered all my questions. It's located on a busy street and small parking area. Overall a good experience. read more

This is definitely not your typical street taco place. The asada tacos were amazing -- the meat was tender, flavorful, and had a great aroma. The pork tacos were even better, with rich flavor and perfectly cooked meat. I found this place late in the evening when I was hungry and searching nearby, and the good reviews convinced me to try it. It was my first visit, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. One of the best taco spots I've tried so far. I'll definitely be coming back read more

One of my fav taco stands to go to. Their portion of tacos are pretty big compared to the other stands I've been too. They definitely put in a good amount of meat. My go to is their pastor and tongue tacos. The el pastor is very flavorful and they always give a good chunk of pineapple. The tongue is very tender. The carne asade has a nice smokey flavor. There's also a parking lot to the right which is a plus. Service is fast too. I usually wait on more than 10 minutes for my order on a Friday/Saturday night. read more

i've always wondered if this place was good because I would always pass by this on my way home and there will be open till like two in the morning so we finally caved in and made a quick stop for some dinner and I got some burritos and let me tell you these are one of the best burritos I've found in Whittier. They are so juicy flavorful and huge also and I love it because you can package your own beans and salsa. The salsa are great they are pretty spicy which I love and very flavorful not bland or water down. Service was great really sweet and knowledgeable. Give me a couple of good recommendations on Winnipeg and it was a very clean spot. Everything was well organized will be returning give this place a try you won't regret i! read more

This place can teach a few places on what it is to have good customer service. Whether you get the owner's young kids working the register or the owner himself, they are always so polite, kind and welcoming. The Al pastor is my favorite in either a taco or burrito form. Not a fan of the sopes or the price, but I know I will eat well when ever we go. Wish you guys the best. Ps. Love how clean they live their area after they are done for the night. Good way to keep Whittier Pretty. read more

Amazing food, we go there at least once a week. The carne fries are a must, but the tacos hit every time.

BEST TACOS EVER!!!!!! The staff is always friendly, very clean area. I seriously can not get tacos any where else now that I've tried these lol omg the Pastor and Carnitas are my fave but honestly everything there is really delicious. Highly recommended, it's always packed but that's a good sign lol read more

Have been passing this taco stand over the recent years, and was like this place is always packed whenever they are open. It's time to try it. They have a food truck located on the south side of Whittier Blvrd. They have their hot tops outside for taco meats and a food truck for everything else. It was ridiculously clean and you would never associate that with a food truck taco stand. Staff was super friendly and the whole purchasing process is streamlined, tacos to the left everything else from the truck. I tried two things the Al Pastor taco which was Incredibly seasoned. I put some onion and cilantro and didn't have time to put anything else on before it was gone. Their Asada Torta was really really good. Clean cuts of meats, little bit of beans, pickled onions and jalapeños, and a nice piece of queso fresco which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for the best taco in Whittier come here! read more

This taco spot is hands-down, probably one of the best spots in Whittier. Their salsas are fresh. The aguas frescas are also fresh. The flavor of the meat is delicious & they use quality meats.

Tacos Los Carnales - 2 tacos Al pastor. 1 sope de azada. - Mexican Near Me

There's a lot going on here as you walk up Tortillas being made, Trompo spinning and orders being taking then handed to the lunch truck. There was "no mask, no service" sign but no social distancing enforce. I was standing a distance away but people would still get too close for comfort. I know we're all waiting for TACOS but gimme my damn 6 ft!!! Anyway, after a lil anxiety attack, my numbers called. I had to remind guy of my drink because they don't really have a system down so if you forget. Your loss! The tacos hit the spot! Was I Wow'd.. no! 4 different salsas. The red was hot but no flavor. The meat alone was pretty good but here's my itch. It was one tortillas which is awesome but the tortilla was cold!! And more then $2 for naked tacos isn't my style. The bag of onions for my tacos had very little cilantro! The Horchata was good! Will I return?? Maybe if I'm in area... 2/100 read more

Tacos Los Carnales - 2 chorizo, 2 asada, 1 pastor - Mexican Near Me

Tried the al pastor tacos, the nachos and the quesadilla with chicken. Tacos had enough meat, was flavorful and not dry. It comes on a plate and the cilantro and onions in a bag on the side. Nachos were filling with meat, cheese, tomatoes, and guac. Stays warm but gets soggy quick with the cheese. Would get the tacos again. read more

Tacos Los Carnales - Al Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me

This taco truck/stand is super authentic and the bomb!!! They get pretty busy on weekends and late nights but we got there right when they opened around 6pm on a Friday so no line. First thing that caught my eye was that their authentic tortillas. They have dough and make their tortilla from scratch and you can definitely taste the difference in quality!!! Their Al pastor comes off the stake so it's fresh and hot. Be sure to ask for pineapple on their Al pastor tacos which they also grill!!! Their carne asada fries are also delicious. Comes with nacho cheese, jalapeños, guac, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, fries, and carne asada. Everything we got was so good but I highly recommend the Al pastor tacos with pineapple!!! read more

I had such a good experience here. The tacos were good, I got to eat them hot and the tortilla melted in my mouth. I have no complaints of any meats I have tried here before. I love all the variety of salsas and toppings they have. What made my heart happy was we get to pack up our own warm grilled onion, chiles asados, and beans. Everybody who works here was very friendly which I really appreciated. I like that it is in a well lit spacious area and parking was not hard to find. They have a good amount of chairs if you want to eat there. I felt safe and welcomed. read more

Moved to Whittier and had a lot of friends that raved about this place. Gave it a try and wow, 6yrs later my family and I stop by weekly, we stop by 2-3 times a week with our fam and friends. The people there are always so kind, the atmosphere so chill, it's a family owned business and the daughter and son are so kind all the time. Let me tell you, the lady that calls out the orders is so friendly and funny, she makes time there so fun! Love that they have a seating area now along with sides like beans, consome and more out in the open for free. I love everything there, I def recommend the kito tacos, vampiros and the alpastor. To drink: half pineapple with cucumber water, yumm! read more

The only spot to get you burritos, tacos and tortas. I absolute love the food here, I just wish the aqua fracas were a bit more than sugar water. read more

Another delicious winner in Whittier! You know it's delicious when there is always a line. As you approach the truck, you're greeted with the sweet aromas of the Al pastor cooking on the pit and the sweet lady hand rolling the masa and making the tortillas from scratch. My favorite meats to go in my tacos are carnitas, Al pastor, Carne asada, and lengua. All super flavorful. I didn't care too much for the tripa (tripe) because it was a bit too dry and overly crispy for me. After you order, head on over to the salsa bar to grab your accoutrements as you wait for your order. You have three selections of salsas, and my favorite is the red salsa. I always make sure to get some cilantro and onions, limes, roasted jalapeños, and roasted onions. A delicious and inexpensive dinner! I love this place! read more

Tacos Los Carnales - Mexican Near Me

The complimentary choices of beans, cilantro onion, grilled onion, grilled jalapeno, 4 different kinds of sauce is cool. Made to order in front of your face tortillas. One register. Ordered 6 asada. Was made quick, like 3 min wait literally. 00.75 cent extra for card. Workers working hard. Menu is nice. Price nice. Portions nice. To go packaging cool. Location cool. Set-up cool and tidy. Decent spot. Ordered to go. Everything tasted great and fresh. First timer. Was going to go to raising cane but saw the line wasnt too bad which is rare so tried here and satisfied. My only thing is the quality of the asada was mid to low grade. A lot of chopped up gristle or just gristle in general. A lot of fat too. Not my style. Not sure if ill return but not many late night options for me as well so possible. Thanks. read more

Was crusin' on Whittier Blvd when I saw the long lines at this taco spot, I knew I had to stop if there were that many people waiting in line. What I Got: I ordered 4 tacos: 2 Asada, 1 Chorizo, 1 Cabeza. Out of the three meats, the I would say the Cabeza was the best, followed by the Asada, and then Chorizo. The meats are well cooked, and everything tasted fresh. Yes, the tortillas are hand made, yes they are a little cold as others have said (-1 star). The tacos are served plain, and you are given a bag with onions and cilantro for you to put on there however you like. The salsas were okay, the jalapenos were spicy AF, and the grilled onions made up for me burning my mouth! Location: There is plenty of parking, but with everyone standing around, driving through the crowd can get tough. I usually pull up in the lot next door and go through the back to park. There is no designated eating area so you either eat by your car or you take it to go. Notes; They have quite a selection of meats. I have heard that the al pastor good, but they were barely cooking it. Agua Frescas are pretty good here, buy you need to remind the guy that you bought one or else he will forget too. read more

We randomly stumbled across this taco stand/truck/setup on our way to get some food. We decided to stop here instead and let me tell you, we were not disappointed!

I get cabeza which if you know it's not for everyone but the meat was literally like butter! If you're debating trying this place, stop thinking about it! Just go and try this amazing and we'll coordinated spot for yourself! read more

Best Truck in Whittier!! They got everything burritos worth ur buck, asada nachos hella filling feed two people, best meat they have hands down is there PASTOR, and my preferred meat is buche, which is good to but, there pastor is top tier. Everyone there is super nice!! The amount of free stuff you can pick from like salsa, limon, grilled onions, and beans. They will be busy at times but worth the wait! read more

This taco truck is right down the street from me which makes it super convenient and easy. There's always a good amount of people trying to eat here but the line goes quick. The carne asada fries are super tasty and a little different than the normal style. They have nacho cheese sauce as opposed to shredded cheese and they also put pickled jalapeños and carrots on top which complement the fries perfectly. I've also had an asada quesadilla which was just okay. Both the green and red salsas are tasty and have decent spice. read more

Food is good but I had to give one star because they steal when you pay with credit card. Use cash !!

Came here on the way back from DTLA and will make sure to hit this spot again. Whittier people know this is the spot for tacos.

This has been the best spot for years! Whenever we're wanting authentic Mexican food this is our go to spot. They handmake their tortillas right there in front of you, delicious carne asada fries, sopes and tacos. There is always a line but that's to be expected with how good their food is. I would give 100 stars if I could! read more

Tacos Los Carnales - Al Pastor burrito with everything - Mexican Near Me

This is one of my two favorite taco spots in the area and trust me, there's probably at least a dozen of them to choose from. I recently discovered their Vampiro. (spanish for Vampire). Not sure why it's called that, but it's essentially a fried crunchy tortilla with melted cheese and meat. I like the shrimp one, but the other ones are delicious as well. They have a good selection of other things besides tacos: like tortas, burritos, quesadillas, etc. There's usually a line, so expect at least a 5 to 10 minute wait on your order. Now, GO GET SOME TACOS!! read more

Great Food Truck!! Staff is nice, quick, and efficient. They're making fresh hand pressed tortillas on-site. I tried the Lengua taco, and the homemade Jamaica.
