I had high hopes after seeing the great reviews, but unfortunately the burrito was a big letdown…read more The positives first: the customer service was friendly, my order came out incredibly fast, and all of the ingredients tasted fresh and were served nice and hot. The salsas also tasted fresh, but they were pretty bland and had almost no spice or kick to them. The biggest disappointment was the premium arrachera burrito. For $17.50, I expected the meat to be the highlight, but instead the burrito was mostly rice and beans. The filling was also very soft and mushy overall. The arrachera itself was chopped into tiny, fatty pieces with very little flavor, and it got completely lost among the rice and beans. It didn't have the grilled, seasoned beef flavor I was expecting from a premium burrito. Maybe this is the new standard, or maybe California food costs are forcing restaurants to cut corners to keep prices where they are--I honestly don't know. But at $17.50, I expected a lot more meat and a lot more flavor. I don't mind paying premium prices for premium food, but this just didn't feel like a premium burrito. The fresh ingredients, fast service, and friendly staff were all appreciated, but the burrito itself didn't live up to the price or the reputation.

I've been coming here for about three years. Delicious tacos! I'm hooked on the sirloin handmade…read morecorn tortilla taco! everything of that taco is just right to perfection! It's a good size taco well put! When I'm craving tacos, this spot is the one that satisfies the crave! The ladies that take my order, very kind, very friendly, and very welcoming! Highly recommended this taco truck!

We decided to go to the Whittier night market off of Whittier Boulevard. Not really a night…read moremarket, but pretty close. Located off of the frontage street, by a grassy street divider, this is a spot to enjoy the eats on the grass like a picnic. I opted this spot, which has a IG of cali tacos please, but no longer exists. This spot on yelp was referred to as sumo tacos. The workers were friendly and very helpful. The sumo fries was delicious. The asada itself was unique. It had a smokey flavor which separates itself from other spots. It appeared to be cooked on charcoal, but given it is a food truck, that would be hard to pull off. The sumo taco was something different. It's cheese melted like a tortilla which holds the asada. It was very heavy, greasy and difficult to enjoy. The chips was a plus where you can rip the taco and place it on the chip. If you want something heavy, this sumo is for you. A bit heavy to my liking, so you might want to try a regular taco or burrito. But then again, it's called sumo for a reason. Curious if this spot would experiment with gorditas, a crisp tortilla. I think their filing would knock this out of the park. I also wish they would advertise what drinks they have. Nonetheless, worth a try.

Sumo Tacos is that hidden gem food truck that delivers big flavor without the fuss. Authentic…read moreMexican eats with a bold twist, straight from the streets of Whittier. Posted up with no frills, just fire food and fast, friendly service. The Beef Burrito is a classic Cali heavyweight, rich, savory, and stacked. Each bite hits with seasoned depth that satisfies without breaking the bank. If you're craving that real, hearty fix with flavor that punches-- Sumo's your move. Don't sleep on it.

This review is for the location on Painter location across…read morethe DMV, conveniently located next to a taco truck. We came here on a Saturday. Ordered #1 and #4. The churros were made fresh and they offer free cafe de olla on the weekends. #4 with cajeta-fresa, lechera are for those who love extra sweet things so if you don't mind have a nice heaping of sugar on your churros, definitely try this. The churrero was also very nice and answered all of our questions.

Right off the 605 freeway, there's a row of street vendors and food trucks, and Churros Don Abel is…read moreone of the standouts. We arrived around 8:00 p.m., and there was already a line and for good reason. The churros are delicious, fresh, and not stale at all. The perfect crunch on the outside and the soft middle. I even had one the next morning, and it was still amazing. The only downside is that you can't order the cajeta or lechera on the side. We wanted to take everything home and eat later, but having the toppings added on top made the churros soggy. If you're planning to eat them right away, it wouldn't be an issue. Another small frustration was that they had handwritten signs posted advertising arroz con leche and champurrado, but when we tried to order, we were told they didn't have either. If items are no longer available, those signs should really be taken down to avoid confusion. Overall, still a great stop for fresh, delicious churros.

We were looking for some good tacos after an intense game of futbol, and we came across Tacos Los…read moreCarnales. 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!

If you're looking for some late-night tacos, stop searching. You found the spot!…read more 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!
