People say this spot has some of the best tacos in town. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. People here are super nice and prices are looking good. I got their jamaica and orange drinks, rice and beans, jamon torta, and chile verde and carnitas tacos dorados to try. My grandma also got herself a carne asada burrito which was decently sized but was mostly beans and she said the meat was kinda tough. This was my first time trying a Jamaica drink and it reminded me of cranberry juice. And The orange drink pretty much just tasted like a non bubbly Fanta. Oh you can also get one free refill on them if you want there. Yall know I'm a bean fiend and these beans were creamy, smooth, earthy, and seasoned but still let the beans shine. #beanfiendapproved The rice was super flavorful, a bit tomatoy, savory, and yummy. The jamon torta had mayo, crunchy shredded lettuce, diced tomato, thick cut deli like meat, plenty of melty cheese, all on a soft a bit sweet bun. Was actually way more flavorful and yummy than I thought it would be. The tacos had a decently griddled crisp chewy corny corn toritilla and plenty of meat. The carnitas were savory but kinda oily and a bit dry. but The chile verde MNM. Big chunks of juicy tender melt in your mouth flavorful meat. They also gave me some bright, acidic, a bit spicy salsas that tasted pretty similar just the red one was a little more tomatoey? But Overall this place was lowkey pretty good. Carnitas burrito $9.50 Jamon torta $9.50 Tacos dorados $2.50 each Rice and beans side $2 each Jamaica drink $2 Orange drink $2 read more

One of those spots that keeps it simple and knocks it out of the park. We stopped in during the Active Streets El Monte event and were really impressed. The building itself sets the tone with its cool 60s look, almost like a vintage Wienerschnitzel, with that classic roadside charm that makes you feel like you've found a neighborhood staple. This is a cash only place, but the prices are affordable for both the quality and the generous portions you get. It is homestyle Mexican food done right. No frills, nothing fancy, just well seasoned, satisfying dishes that hit the spot. We ordered the Asada Burrito, Asada Fries, and the Chile Verde plate. All three were excellent. The burrito was packed (tons of beef!) and flavorful without being too greasy, the asada fries had that perfect balance of crisp fries and meat, and the chile verde plate was rich and generously-portioned. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. We left full and happy, and we plan to come back. Tacos Los Mismos is a great find in El Monte and well worth the stop. read more

Great service, quick and easy. Best asada tacos if you like just red sauce. It's not for everyone. Awesome burritos..my fav asada and chile relleno burritos. It's a little hole in the wall. I also like their fish n shrimp tacos. Been comimg here since they were Omañas's Tacos on Central & Rush. Great memories!!! read more

Well just beware the $9 burritos only have meat and beans so it falls apart easily Would love to see rice included in the nearby future... tacos de chicharron were pretty good read more

Tacos Los Mismos - Tacos Near Me - El Monte, California

I got a recommendation to come here on a local forum. I've worked in the South El Monte area for over a decade. Driven past this place dozens of times but never tried. I've tried the Omanas when it was on Rush St well over a decade ago before it closed. I think they opened this one in 2018. I just ordered Carnitas Nachos and Carne Asada Quesadilla. The food is decent for the price. My usual place for Nachos is $10.88 and my usual place for meat quesadillas increased to $11.50 -- so the prices here are better but only slightly. I would not say the quality or portions are better. Their nachos uses shredded white cheese but I would prefer some of the yellow nacho cheese instead. Not a fan of the refried beans in the nachos. They do give two small containers of hot sauce and whole green peppers but the hot sauce is very mild more like tomato puree rather than pico de gallo or hot sauce. My usual quesadilla spot gives a dollop of sour cream and spicy hot sauce - which I think is better. There is lots of outdoor seating & a park across the street to enjoy your food. Food came out within a minute which is pretty fast. I wanted to like the place because of the prices. I would not get the nachos again but the meat quesadilla is a top contender to be my new quesadilla spot! Found their updated menu prices from their IG stories. Posting them now! read more

Homestyle food. Real good and fast service. Prices are good not expensive for the amount of food you get

Let me start off by saying that I've been eating these tacos since I was first introduced to them by my dad when I was less than 10 years old. It's been so long, I don't even remember how old I was at the time. So when I bite into these, I'm not just tasting their unique flavors. I'm also tasting a bit of nostalgia like the food critique in the movie Ratatouille. Having said that, you need to come give this place a try, but you just have to be mentally prepared for it. Are these authentic Mexican tacos? No. Are these earning a Michelin Star in the future? No. But are these uniquely LA tacos in only the way LA can be? Hell yes! If I know one thing for certain, it's that you won't find these flavors anywhere else. Or maybe you can if you can figure out their salsa recipes. For all I know, they can be a simple mixture of canned Mexican sauces you can find at any grocery store. And if they are, they are still so damn good. The tacos themselves are simple: tortilla, meat, and salsa. Sometimes, the meat doesn't look, feel, or taste the way you'd expect. But you know what? It's still delicious in its own way. Whatever it is that they are putting in their salsas, I have no idea, but it just works. The red sauce is simple, spicy, and flavorful in a way no one else can do. The green sauce is also tasty and flavorful. The service is quick, and if you aren't paying attention, your tacos will be sitting there getting cold waiting for you to get them. The ambiance is what it is. Nothing to write home about, but slightly improved from the original, and literal, hole-in-the-wall location they used to have on the side of a market for many years when they used to go by Omañas. Although I haven't lived anywhere near this area for over 20 years, I still have to stop by when I'm in the area. You won't find these flavors anywhere else. Just try it and see for yourself. You might be disappointed at first. But then you'll remember these tacos later and say, "hey, maybe I should try them again and give them another shot." And that will always be the cycle that keeps you coming back. read more

Tacos Los Mismos - Carne asada taco with red sauce - Tacos Near Me - El Monte, California

A fast paced taco stand and extremely affordable. Service is on point quicker than you can blink. It's a converted tasty freeze and serves a good spicy semi fried taco for 2.00 flat .. it's no frills dining and just a good place to grab some food and go . I've got family here who are big fans of the carnitas and green chile . The tacos make them happy. read more

Horrible service, food not done properly. Would not recommend coming back. Spoke to worker and they did not try fixing the problem.

Bomb Tacos! I bought 50 tacos dorados for a family gathering. Never disappoint. I highly recommend it.

Food was great but service was horrible. I ordered carne asada fries. CASH ONLY as well !

Went again for the third time food was quick and excellent! The asada fries are great but we got the nachos this time and they were fantastic! The sopes were delicious and don't get me started on the tacos honestly I've tried a lot of tacos and these are on top for me. read more

Today at 2pm I went to buy tacos and the customer service there was very bad, I don't know if it's the owner or worker but he was very disrespectful but he has years working there because I've went since I was younger with my family, I ordered and paid for extra tacos and order of plain French fries welp he didn't not give me those extra tacos and fries instead he gave me something I didn't order I told him I didn't order that, I wasn't able to get a refund or get it changed I had to keep something I didn't want but he charged me for it. I had no way of knowing because he doesn't give receipts. I don't appreciate that way he talked to me or treated me he was very rude and disrespectful I hope he takes this review in consideration so he doesn't treat others the way he did to me. I'm very disappointed in the customer service I received it was awful. read more

This place is amazing and inexpensive My family and I got the asada fries, the taquito plate and 2 tacos and was only 25$!! And everything was so delicious. The tacos were seriously the best tacos I've ever had! 10/10 for sure read more

Just got a burrito from here for lunch. It came out looking like a sloppy Joe. Vary greasy, did not look good at all. fellas apart. didn't give me no sides with my food. Didn't have nothing to drink had to go to another spot to get my self a drink. N bad service. !!!DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

Very good food, the staff is wonderful. Service is perfect 5 stars food and service. Ambiance is perfect.

I write this review with a sad heart as the fish tacos were very tasty and really well made. Love the crema and cabbage combo as opposed to just dry cabbage. The sad part... I got food poisoning, tho not extremely bad but enough to give me nausea and lethargy the past 2 days. Sadly, will never be returning here again. I hope the owner takes these things serious before someone with a weakened immune system dies from it. read more

Tacos were diped in green salsa, which makes it unique and juicy. Service was friendly and prompt. Ambiance was chill and local. read more

This is one of my favorite spots. My Tacos Omanas is now Taco Los Mismos and yes it's the same dude taking orders. TRIPLE OG. We're talking 20 years!! I recommend to order your tacos dorados puts a lil crunch in your bite! Chile relleno burrito are good some I know might add asada. The asada I don't order in a burrito but the Asada taco Dorado is a must! My go to is Carnitas they were a lil salty my last visit. Butttt... Carnitas nachos, tacos, burritos are delicious. Lemon upon request. They provide napkins, plates, Chile serranos always for orders there or to go. At the moment seating is closed. 12/100 I love Tacos read more

Service here is really fast. Cash only. I used to get bean burritos here all the time but now they're $8! Just bean and cheese. That's crazy to me. read more

Best tacos in all of Cali no debate to it, been going here even before they remodeled to what it's called now, never have I been disappointed eating here only thing that sucks is cash only which is heart break sometimes read more

Very dirty Staff has a really bad attitude and the food is served like if everything is thrown into the plate. l

Tacos are delicious! They are a little different than the normal dry taco. They put sauce on their meat and buche tacos. Tortilla is yellowish and tastes delicious. Recently tried a carne asada burrito and it was yummy. You will get dirty when you eat! But so worth it. read more

The best tacos for my taste. Since I came to this country 35 years ago my parents took me to omañas and ever since I have eaten these tacos!!!! Diferent name but the y are still the same tacos (los mismos) read more

I stopped by here after a late night basketball session and this place was on the radar because it had fish tacos and we were craving fish tacos. They're a CASH ONLY place and their soda machine is busted. They do however had Horchata's and Orange Punch instead. We ordered a few fish tacos and the asada fries. Both items were delicious and it made us full. So the reason for 3 stars is our second visit. A week later at the same time we visited Tacos Los Mismos and it was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. The food was extra greasy this time and the fish tacos tasted way different from the week before. We also brought another friend with us this time and he was disappointed in his 4 tacos. So, it seems like this place is a mixed bag. One day it'll be fire. One day it'll be gross. Proceed with caution. read more

This place serves up tasty Mexican food. This is the place where paisa comes. I usually order the nachos with carnitas. Order your food & drive across the street where there s a park to eat. read more

Great food, great service and also great prices for a ONE OF KIND taco. You just can't beat it, plus there cool if your drunk it's the shit read more

Maybe they are having an off day today. I don't know if I just got unlucky and got them on a bad day, or what. I just got some food from them, and it is probably the nastiest, bland, unseasoned, and really struggling food I ever had in quite a while. I mean, if you guys want me to lie, and say it was good, I will, but I'm not gonna do that. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries (which I feel places either make them really bomb and epic, or they make them really bad.), and the Asada Burrito. I noticed the Asada fries just contain cheese. No pico de gallo, no sour cream, no guacamole, no onions, no avocado, no salsa, no refried beans, no cilantro, no chives, no anything that I feel should belong on Asada fries unfortunately. I decided to taste them anyways; despite the fact, I would have preferred more variety in the Asada Fries. First few bites were okay. But I ate about a quarter of the Asada Fries, before they were just too bland, and I couldn't eat another bite. The Burrito was even worse. Very flat, pitiful Burrito. Mainly a couple of big scoops of refried beans, and not much meat. No salsa, pico, onions, rice etc. Very pitiful. Tasted bland, and tortilla wasn't sticking together, due to the fact the Burrito was not put together well. Two stars, because I kinda feel maybe I got them on an off day or something. I don't know. The employees were nice, and the prices are very good. They stay open late on the weekend. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. So yeah. Maybe I'll give them another chance later, but this time wasn't it. Sorry you guys. read more

These tacos have been our all time favorite since I can remember but sad to say that today we drove all the way from Yucaipa to have these delicious tacos but did not even order any!! Reason was the place was extremely filthy outside . There was poop next to one of the pilars and pee all over.. I was so disgusted by what I saw that I left dissapointed.. Please Please clean outside !! it is a bad representation of your business and your tacos are just so amazing!!! read more

Perfection is ahh I can say about this place, been coming for over 20 years, and going to the place up eat too!

Tacos dorados are the best. Not deep fried but made crispy on the griddle. My favorite are the tacos de frijoles. So good. It gets kind of busy at night. Huero is always there to greet you. The sauce is a one of a kind. Don't have to much though. You'll end up in the restroom read more

Tacos Los Mismos - Carne asada nachos - Tacos Near Me - El Monte, California

Update: This Omañas location has changed its name to Los Tacos Mismos. The menu, prices, & cooks are still the same.

Prices are fairly reasonable here, with taxes rolled into the displayed price (weather they, or they don't pay taxes) but like some other reviewers said, their carne asada (beef) is kinda funky. It's kind of like chopped bacon with strings of cooked lettuce in it, not sure but it's a mix of something. Not like traditional carne asada as most if not all other Mexican food joints. Also, their menu doesn't have much options. but gotta hand it to them, the last few businesses at this location were pretty crappy. read more

Tacos Los Mismos - The "carne asada" in my all-meat burrito. Eww - Tacos Near Me - El Monte, California

Not like before rude old man at the window ,he's always in a rush . The meat they use in the nachos is nasty It's not carna asada I don't know what it is. I asked for carna asada that's what I got Last time there read more

Yes the place is a 3 star...but the burritos are amazing!! 5 stars on the food!! Happy to see some familiar cooks faces read more

Garbage. Sorry but this food was awful. I had to eat chips once I was done because I did not care for the taste. I ordered an asada burrito and spent the entire time eating it trying to figure out what meat it was. It was very wet with what appeared to be tomato sauce. Wife ordered asada tacos and the meat seamed the same. And I think it had chorizo. When you preferred to had Taco Bell over Mexican you know it's bad. read more
