. Tacos very salty and my husband was chewing on this plastic .

Tacos very salty and my husband was chewing on this piece of plastic . Been a long time customer but need to find better quality taco truck

Honestly some of the best authentic food I've tried so far hands down! Not only was it ready in less then 7 mins but the flavor was 10/10. My food vs my husbands this was a cash preferred establishment. my order (pastor quesadilla add beans w. a side of grilled onions) id add the green salsa for that extra kick onions & cilantro is optional.

Came for the great reviews. It was a nice looking food truck with good lighting since I got there late. The staff was nice. Would've been 1 star if it wasn't for that. 1. The taco was dry and bland. 2. There was a bug in the food. Look at the picture of the plate. The little dude was chilling on a piece of onion next to a piece of cilantro. It doesn't look like a roach, but still nasty.

I love this taco truck! I've only tried their tacos with pastor & asada but I love them both! Service is quick and friendly and the tacos never disappoint. They're super generous with the meat too! $1.25 for happiness? Yes please! They moved across the street to Paramount Blvd due to the construction at the old car wash at their original location. It's not hard to find!

Worst tacos truck ever! We usually get our tacos at Arandinos Tacos Truck but today we decided to try here since it's closer to our place. We ordered 16 tacos and specifically told them to have cilantro and onion on the side, repeatedly. And what do you know, they said it's already inside. The cook looked at the cashier girl and they just literally stared at each other. No apology to us. Nothing. Just a freaking staring contest between them and us. I'm not the type that would ask for a whole new order if it's messed up. But at least some decency would be nice. And their food is just not good. Tacos were super soggy. They drowned the poor tacos in salsa. The tacos fell apart we couldn't even pick it up. And mind you our drive was only 3 mins. It's so soggy the tortilla peeled like an onion, which was everywhere in the tacos. A big no! Should've just went to Arandinos.

The tacos are good, especially the carne asada tacos. The service is also very quick. FYI they don't take tap.

Have been coming here for about a year. I was first looking for a good Mexican restaurant. I have…read moreonly tried their asada tacos but let me tell you that they are not cheap with the meat quantity and the tortillas are pretty big. Also their salsa is delicious. They are so friendly as well.

Sometimes the best food spots are the little hole-in-the-wall restaurants you stumble upon!…read more This little Mexican restaurant is tucked away on San Gabriel Blvd. in Rosemead, sharing a parking lot with Vito Liquor, not too far from the Walmart on Walnut Grove. They've been in business for about five years, and we stopped by for an early dinner around 5:45 PM. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted to sit outside since it was more spacious. Normally, Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays at our house, but work got the best of me this week, and I completely forgot to make tacos. Of course, my son wasn't about to let that slide! He reminded me that I had forgotten Taco Tuesday, so I hopped on Yelp to find a nearby taco spot. That's how we ended up here! When we arrived, I went inside to grab a menu and let the staff know we'd be dining outside. Service started off a little slow, which was surprising considering the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. They eventually brought out complimentary chips and salsa, which my son absolutely loved! He practically demolished the entire basket himself! For my son's entrée, I ordered two tacos, one Carne Asada and one Carnitas ($4.95 each), along with rice and beans. While $4.95 might seem a little steep for a taco, these were noticeably larger than your typical street tacos. I asked my son which taco he preferred, and he said he liked both equally! He polished off both tacos and all his rice. The beans, however, were mostly untouched since he's never been much of a bean enthusiast. He especially enjoyed the freshly made tortillas, which were soft, flavorful, and clearly homemade. He did spit out a couple of fatty pieces of meat because he doesn't like fat, but otherwise thought both tacos were delicious. Overall, the tacos were solid and definitely satisfied his Taco Tuesday craving! As for myself, despite the ridiculously hot weather, I was craving a hearty bowl of soup. I know, who orders hot soup when it's scorching outside? Apparently, I do! I ordered the **Caldo de Res**, a traditional Mexican beef and vegetable soup made with bone-in beef shank, cabbage, carrots, corn, potatoes, and squash. It came with Mexican rice, chopped cilantro, diced onions, lime wedges, and warm corn tortillas. The homemade tortillas were fantastic! Soft, fresh, and full of authentic corn flavor. I especially enjoyed dipping them into the hot broth and letting them soak up all that delicious flavor. They were definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The beef was incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the soup had plenty of cabbage, carrots, and squash. I added a generous amount of cilantro and onions, along with several squeezes of lime, which really brightened up the broth. My only minor complaint was that I would've liked a little more corn in the soup. Otherwise, it was a hearty, comforting bowl of Caldo de Res that reminded me of a home-cooked meal. I'd happily order it again, even on another hot Southern California day! As for the service, while things started off slowly, the staff became quite attentive and checked on us several times throughout our meal. **Overall, this is a solid little neighborhood restaurant serving comforting, home-style Mexican food.** The tacos were tasty, the homemade tortillas were excellent, and the Caldo de Res really hit the spot. Would I drive across town specifically to eat here? Probably not, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food or the overall experience. However, if you're in Rosemead or happen to be in the neighborhood, this little spot is definitely worth checking out! Most importantly, my son got his Taco Tuesday fix, and I got my comforting bowl of Caldo de Res. Everybody wins! We'll definitely be back whenever we're craving some tasty tacos and good old-fashioned home-cooked Mexican food!

Simple fast Mexican food. Ordered the #3- Cheese Enchilada…read morecombo plate. It was good. But I'd say a 4 star, not 5, because it was lacking the rich red sauce I am accustomed to. More mild red, not really red enchilada sauce I'm accustomed to. And the cheese wasn't fully melted through, but the plate was hot, so maybe they figure it will melt eventually. They were nice and greeted me upon arriving and their simple salsa bar had 3 choices and some picked carrots and onions. The horchata was good. A quick affordable meal, nothing fancy, but a nice casual meal.

This is small mom and pop shop where you literally see the couple (el señor y la señora) behind the…read morecounter and kitchen area. We ordered for pick up and had: - macho fries (they were pretty darkly fried but very soggy even though picked up within 15 mins -- they throw refried beans on them so not great if you really wanted carne asada style fries) - FISH tacos - YES I'd come back for these at $2.50 a piece - they were still crunchy by time I got home 5 mins later and had plenty of flavors - good price, - lengua burrito - lady never said the price but burrito was OK, just rice and lengua - steak combo plate - flavors were ok - macho burrito - they got this wrong bc we didn't want wet burrito but they did it anyways :( -- this was quite SALTY. OVERALL - if you're really hungry and need basic food, some dishes are better than others. I think it was OK to try this out but still going back to my old time favorite Mexican restaurant. Mom and pop -- especially mom is funny and has sense of humor. Indoors they have a few tables and they have TV playing soccer games too. They accept credit cards.

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

Parking in the back Takes credit care with $1 fee…read more It's a one man show, only one guy working, cooking, bussing, and dealing the cash. So the service is slow. 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.
