    I've had El Chilote taco catering a few times now, and it never disappoints. I recently used them…read morefor a party, and they were a huge hit with everyone--multiple people were asking me for their info by the end of the night. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care. The citrus chicken is hands down my favorite--super juicy with the perfect balance of tangy and savory. And the cilantro lime sauce? Absolutely amazing. It ties everything together and adds such a fresh, bright kick to the tacos. On top of the food, the service is always friendly, professional, and easy to work with. You can really tell there's passion behind what they do. Highly recommend El Chilote if you're looking for catering that people will actually rave about. I'll definitely be ordering again!

So we knew who we wanted to cater our Mother's Day brunch , We can't thank you enough for a great event with delicious food!!!

Just in case, my review is…read morefor them where the biggest cross streets are Francisquito Ave and North Hacienda Blvd. It's down Francisquito on sidewalk in between the entrances of 7/11 Gas and McDonald's. Service: Sweet and friendly faces! They serve you up as quickly as they can and are also patient if you need to decide what to get. Food: As a vegetarian, I cannot give my own opinions but I will relay the opinions of my mother. The options are all good and very flavorful. Nothing was dry. Still juicy and delicious! The Lengua/Beef tongue and Cabeza/Beef head is her favorite. You serve yourself cilantro, onions, etc. Use the baggies for what'e in the tubs and of course the sauce containers for the pico de gallo, salsas, and guacamole. This is a small street food business that's well-lit and you can tell they keep things neat and organized. Overall, I'll definitely take my mom back for more and let my niece try stuff too!

They make their tortillas fresh and I loved watching them make the mulitas. There was so much cheese, I was convinced to get one! We visited mainly for their Papa Rellena (a Mexican-style loaded baked potato) and it did not disappoint. There's nowhere to sit but it's a great spot to grab your food and take it home. There's lots of sauce and topping options as well. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Drove by several days ago to walk around San Gabriel x Valley with friends after dinner and boba…read more While we were too full to try anything, one spot that stood out to me was this 土家酱香饼. Lo and behold, thanks to Christina the business exists on here and has been christened "Jiang Xiang Bing Guy"! Although he was working solo that day, when I decided to return on an empty stomach, he had an assistant helping with seasoning and chopping up the 酱香饼. There were about five folks waiting by the time I got there Sunday evening. The guy with the blue UCLA hoodie was purposefully putting on a show, since he had two phones set up for streaming. Every now and again, when he gets a request from someone, he would say "OK no problem!" and continues with kneading, rolling, and transferring the dough to the big ol' frying machine. At $10 per order, perhaps a part of the cost is the spirited mini-interactions. After paying via Venmo, I showed the gal my phone. 他是老板 she said jokingly as she handed me the food. I had mine mild, and honestly it was a delightfully crispy and savory snack for a cold winter evening.

Intrigued and a lover of street foods, I went last night to check it out hoping he was at the same spot and he was! (Honestly San Gabriel Superstore parking lot be popping with bomb street food stalls and trucks over these past years). The guy was calling his food a Chinese pizza but it's actually a Chinese street food called Jiang Xiang Bing(酱香饼) which basically means "saucy pancake". If you can't speak Chinese(don't worry he does understand English though but he spoke to me in Mandarin by default lol), just give him $10 and he will give you a portion. If you don't have cash, he has QR codes for digital payments and once it goes through you can hear his phone notification from his car. When he's done making the bread and ready to chop it, he will ask you how spicy you want it. You can say "xiao la" for mild or say yes and nod your head for the regular spicy lol. The pan fried flat bread was crispy and the sweet and spicy soy bean sauce really went well with it, I'd get it again!!!

    I just want to clarify for all people. It is no longer in the best buy plaza. It's directly next to…read moreit and it is connected to it. It's near the floor and tiles store so don't be waiting at the best buy side because you'll realized how dumb you are(me -___-"). With that said, I think it's pretty good considering the lines for most trucks weren't bad. I was there at 6 and I only waited 10-15 mins for my kogi. I'm not sure how great the other trucks were but I finally filled my craving for a kogi burrito. It helps that the food truck squad is from 530-9 so that I can actually get it for dinner instead of having as a late night snack at the location in Nogales.

So starting about 3 weeks ago - every tuesday 5:30 to 9pm - in front of the Best Buy in Industry - is Truck Squad. NO COVER! There are 6 different trucks each week, well some overlap. But this week - it was Flying Pig, Tornado Potato, Chunk-n-Chip, Greasy Wiener, Calbi, and the Shrimp Pimp Trucks. I came during the inaugural week, where Shrimp Pimp, Calbi and Greasy Wiener was at, but I missed last week where there were other trucks that weren't there during the first week or this week. The lines aren't super long, which is nice. You can follow @trucksquad on twitter for who's coming each week. I'll be back next week.

All things are delicious! This vendor is always packed & busy with a line! So be prepared to wait a bit, usually goes by fast. Come with an appetite cause everything is delicious! We usually get a pina agua fresca or horchata. Very good & refreshing. The toppings/ sides they have are endlesss. It's all self serve so you get to choose exactly what you want & how many! My favorites are the green salsa, the grilled onions w/ peppers, & the cucumbers! Make sure to grab some limes & onion & cilantro as well. Last night we got just the meat on the side to make our own little creations at home! Made some loaded potatoes & boy oh boy were they good! :D Also they don't take card so be ready with cash in hand or Zelle!

    Tacos Santa Cruz is an awesome local spot. This place is well known throughout the area with…read moremultiple amounts of my friends telling me I must go! I finally got the chance to stop by this place and let me tell you.. it's pretty hard to beat. I have a go to taco stand in my area and this place definitely gives it a run for its money. I am a taco lover and a spice lover as well - so those two combined always make me dance. To start, I ordered the cabeza (head meat) and asada tacos (5 total tacos) and a horchata. The protein is fantastic - I mean the cabeza was perfect and cut in larger chunks which I enjoyed more so I could chew it and experience the texture. The asada was cooked and seasoned perfectly and was NOT dry!! Awesome delightful food! Not to mention they use 1 corn tortilla per taco which is great for those looking to cut carbs. The horchata was perfect as it was not too sweet and had the perfect cinnamon balance! They also offered PINA and occasionally Champurrado. The salsa is great with avocado salsa, mild, and hot. Great flavor here! They also have all toppings you would normally expect at a taco stand with grilled Serano peppers! So fire for those looking for extra spice! The service is quick and the staff is friendly! They use a ticket system so you can order quickly and pack salsa, cucumbers, onion, and radish to be ready when your order is called. I will say it's a little more on the pricey side as 5 tacos and a horchata was $19. My friend got 6 tacos and a horchata and his was $22 - making each taco $3. So if you want cheaper tacos - look elsewhere My friend also tried lengua and al pastor which were both good - but not as good as the cabeza or asada. Would recommend if you're in the area, and I will be back!
