The menudo was the best I've had in El Monte since La Familia closed down. They give you the option of without or with maiz and also if you want pata. Only drawback is that it is cash only. The servers were very friendly. read more

Taqueria La Cabana - Menudo sin grano y pata - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

When you walk into a window and have no idea what some of the menu items are, you know you have to put on your big boy pants and go off the deep in. Taqueria La Cubana is one of those not so fancy but oh so delicious taco stands. You're sitting just north of the 10 Freeway and although during the day it's a safe enough spot to come to, I wouldn't recommend coming at night. As for the food. Oh man, the tacos are good and the shining jewel of it all is the Coctel or the shrimp cocktail with tostadas to go on the side. I been coming here for years and at $15 an order, you get some good size shrimps if you're a seafood lover. If you're lazy like me, I get extra tostadas, 3 for $1. I know you can run to sthe store to get a lot more for cheaper but it's easier to just buy it here. This is really good quality food and you see tons of working class people here because of the value too. Come by and support this small mom and pop shop. read more

Awesome local family owned restaurant. It's near my house and we eat here often. They have yummy menudo on the weekends. Here are my family's favorites: green chilaquiles, fish tacos, tripa tacos, torta de jamón y queso fresco, chorizo burritos and of course the menudo. read more

My boyfriend and I got shrimp cocktail and oh my gosh, it was Delicious! The flavor was absolutely amazing , I will most definitely come back.. read more

I found this place on Yelp, and the food looked really good, so I decided to give it a try. When I checked the payment options online, it clearly stated they accept debit and credit cards. However, when I got there, the parking was terrible, and as I approached to order, I noticed a sign on the window that said "Cash only." I was like, what the hell? I double-checked online, and it still showed that they accept credit cards. This is totally misleading and frustrating. They need to fix that and update their Yelp information because it's not cool to mislead customers like that. Honestly, who carries cash these days? I know places like this only take cash for tax purposes--trust me, I'm a CPA. read more

This the OG Spot, little hole in the wall with some bomb food!! Service was perfect, not a long wait for the food and it was DELICIOUSSSS. We got tacos de asada y pollo, and a side of rice and beans. I would've posted a picture of our food but we grubbed! Definitely recommend(: read more

Small hole in the wall on the corner of Cogswell and Exline. Food has always hit the spot! From the Costillas en salsa verde, to the burritos and carne asada plates! I honestly haven't eaten anything here I didn't like! CASH ONLY, so no credit or debit cards...Also, if you are a busy person like myself, you can call the number and order ahead of time, so when you get there, its ready to go! read more

Nice hole in the wall Mexican spot...food is good and reasonable priced. They are cash only so be prepared for that. Had tacos and burritos they were both good. Will be coming back read more

This place is IT! My family and I constantly come back here for their wet burritos and their campechana! The service is excellent, I think it might be a family running it but each worker has been kind every single time we have visited. The food is great, friendly service, and prices are pretty reasonable considering it's more of a home cooked meal than it is fast food. Only fault is that it's cash only so make sure you bring money when you visit. read more

Honestly, I love this place! I have been coming to this tiny little spot for years because it is so authentic! They recently changed owners, but the food is still really good, if not, even better! This place isn't really well known because of the location. It is literally in a residential area on Cogswell & Exline in El Monte, CA. What I love about this place is their tacos! I love their tripas, chorizo, fish tacos. Fish tacos on Monday & Wednesday are buy 1 get 1 free! Besides the tacos, they also have really good menudo, so I definitely have to try that out! If you're not trying to spend much money and just want to get a good taco fix, I would highly recommend getting the tacos here! CASH ONLY BTW!! :) read more

Taqueria La Cabana - The outside of Taqueria la cabana, inc. - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

One of the best hole in the walls spots in El Monte, just about everything has great flavor and hits the spot. This mom and pop restaurant serves up traditional Mexican style food, my go to is the carne con chile which is very spicy but can ask for it mild and I occasionally get the tortas. Other food items I've tried are the tacos de birria, asada and the burritos are really good too. The prices are very fair for the portions and they have no problem customizing orders if need be I say this is a great place when I'm craving a homestyle meal. read more

Good food The mexican authentic taste in every meal. Prices are very reasonable. Best menudo in town!! read more

I literally live down the street from this place and I love it! The ladies inside are super nice, they have a pretty large menu considering the size but so far everything I have tried has been 5 star worthy. Their burrito mojado with the green sauce is awesome but my current go to are the shrimp cocktail and the camarones a la diabla. read more

This place is really not bad, i actually took a little break from here because I'd go so frequently. I love the fish tacos, really anything on the menu is good. read more

I've tried the tacos, wet burrito, torta ahogado, asada quesadilla, and the shrimp cocktail. Everything was pretty good and they don't skimp on the meat. The shrimp cocktail was actually good for the price too. Only thing I can complain about is the torta was way too spicy. I love chile and this was almost inedible. My wife couldn't eat it. They need to remove more seeds out of the chiles they use. Tasted good but too spicy. They place is small so there's only outdoor tables. Like lawn chairs and tables. Some look older than me. Overall I'd give this place a 4 because the food is awesome even though I wouldn't eat outside their place read more

Not too bad! It hits the spot if you want some tacos for a good price. The workers are super friendly. It's in a really hidden location, off the train tracks of Cogswell Rd. I would come back since I live so close. Glad to support a local business. Seems like they've renovated and have been working hard to acquire customers through new signage and nice outdoor seating. read more

my go to place for lunchtime tacos or burritos.... dinner too, shoooot!!! always delicious, quick, and friendly! i just wish they brought back the ceso! read more

I've been going to "Tacos La Cabaña" for over 20 years and it's ALWAYS been consistent and friendly as the very 1st time I went. They've had maybe 2 or 3 ownership changes and I thought that was going to affect the quality of their service, but nah! Nope.. Different faces but the same friendly smile! Yes, it is a "HOLE IN THE WALL", un-glamorous, simple but then again, that's exactly what a "Cabaña" is! They have a steady clientele which is a good indicator of good, consistent service. It's right next to a freeway so it's not the quietest place in the world. There's no indoor seating, they have park bench style seating but like me, most people have their order "to-go." Service may also be a bit slow but keep in mind that there's only 1 person at the grill most of the time. Quantity is VERY generous. Believe me! I would be the 1st one to yell "RAPE" if I were given a burrito the size of "my hand" for $5! Their burritos are as big or BIGGER than Alberto's. They actually GRILL their "asada" unlike Alberto's who "cooks" their "asada" therefore making the meat spongy and gives it a funny, rubbery taste. They're generous with their condiments as well; they place them out on a small table for the customer to "help themselves." Over all, Tacos "La Cabaña" is a simple not-so-fast-fast-food-joint-hole-in-the-wall place with a LARGE menu and certainly something for everyone. They make no claim to be "high-class, elegant" regardless if you speak Spanish, French, English or Esperanto.. If you had to use the paper bag to wipe your @$$ after eating one of their burritos, then probably the burrito doesn't like YOU to begin with and went right through you.. Aaron M. read more

Great tasting tacos and tostada. Almost every tacos here are good. Al pastor, tripa, shrimp are all my favorites. One thing worth to mention is that the shrimps they use in their tacos and tostada are great tasting fresh and meaty shrimps, unlike some places that use frozen crunchy tasteless shrimps. All prices are very reasonable. read more

Burrito was good. Fish tacos were good too. I just dont like their hot sauce that much

Maybe its because I didn't speak spanish, regardless, if this place looks like a hole in the wall, looks shitty, guess what? that's exactly what this place is. Here's my experience with this place. Always passed by this place and saw how they had a Menudo sign. Makes me hungry everytime i pass by because I love menudos and this place looked like those hole in the wall places. Granted I never seen it busy or had alot of people there and I can tell why. I had the courage to stop by here one morning and wanted a breakfast burrito of some kind. I didn't see anything like that so I ordered an asada burrito. The cashier then says "its going to be $5". WOW! I thought, a $5 dollar burrito, as there are no pictures I was thinking he or the chef or whoever is back there has some giant ass tortilla and this was going to be a bigger/ better version that what you can get at Albertos. The Result: If you thought I got a $5 dollar burrito guess again. This place handed me a small paper bag the size and the burrito was as big as my hand. What I ate and the quantity of this burrito should have been a $2-3 dollar burrito. I felt ripped off but guess I wont be coming back here again. Neither should anyone else unless. The only thing that was good was the paper bag to wipe my ass after I $hit out their burrito and to never go back there AGAIN read more

My niece, who lives down the street from this place, recommended to stop here for tacos only. Although I was looking for pozole in a pan. So I took a chance and asked if they served pozole in a pan. They said yes they serve it in a pan, however, the girl at the window showed me a large styrofoam cup and told me they serve and charge by the large styrofoam cup sizes and asked how many cups I wanted. I should have seen that as a warning sign because when I got home, there was barely enough pozole to feed 3 people. My husband told me when I was on the phone with him, while I was waiting for them to warm my pozole, that this place serves canned pozole. Well he was right and I should have seen this coming when the girl told me they serve pozole in a pan by cup size and she told me that I had to wait 5 minutes for the pozole to finish cooking. How could I have not seen this? And to top it off, I ordered their carne asada quesadilla and it was not good at all. The rice was not good either. I don't know about everyone else but when the rice at a Mexican restaurant isn't even good, that is not a good sign. And how can anyone mess up a carne asada quesadilla? Worst of all, don't say you serve by the pan when you don't even make your own pozole. Terrible place! Canned pozole, seriously? read more
