    It was my first time here because we held a baby shower for a colleague. I ordered the Deluxe Plate because I was hungry! The staff were very friendly and professional! Plus the food didn't take long to come out! Yay! I ate everything on my plate and didn't waste a thing because it was so delish! Nancy was the manager on staff and she was so accommodating and nice! I highly recommend! Thank you!

    My bf and I were seized by a birria craving, so we ordered takeout on Doordash. We got a quesadilla, tacos, and a birria cup. Each item was around $4 or less, which seems affordable to me. - Quesadilla was soft, cheesy, and lightly crispy. I think it tasted the best with the juicy shredded beef. It came with lime and radish on the side. - Street tacos consisted of fried tortillas topped with juicy shredded beef and lots of cilantro with onion. It was served with a flavorful red salsa (medium spicy) as well as lime and radish. I would have preferred larger chunks of beef instead of ultra-fine shredded beef. - Birria cup (about 6 oz) was filled with consomme broth and birria beef. It came with two small deep-fried tostadas the same size as the street tacos. The birria cup was good, but plain. I doctored it up with some of my own avocado and sour cream. The flavor of the consomme was okay, maybe a little light on beef and chili pepper. I also would have preferred more variation in the texture of the beef, as it was still extremely fine.

    We tried this taco truck for the first time and the food was tasty, but the portions are small for what you pay for. I would recommend sharing the Deluxe Plate ($15) if you are trying it for the first time so you can sample the birra soft taco, quesadilla, tostada, consume and mulita - just keep in mind that each item are like appetizer size. Our friend got the tostada and it was so tiny that we ended up reordering a burrito to share - a better option if you want something filling. Keep in mind also that the parking is limited next to a previous Weinerschnitzel building.

    Update: 5 days later was reimbursed 1/2 of the bill . I had to follow up and call. They are charging for the horchata and I honestly didn't drink it . Never will I recommend or go here to any of the locations . Unprofessional and rude .

    Food was just ok. My quesadilla and tacos were very greasy and not hot. Parking here is definitely the biggest challenge as there is enough parking for 5-6 cars tops. Don't know if I will be returning anytime soon

    Mulita. Quesadilla and taco.

    Absolute hidden gem here in Whittier. The cosume was some of the best I've ever had. Piping hot and delicious. The service was great and fast! Great shaded area to eat in. Definitely recommend the quesadilla and mulita. Delux combo plate is priced amazingly considering everything you get. Ambiance is relaxed.

    Super cool set up - while the brick and mortar is under construction, they have put one of their trucks to use to build a customer base. Brilliant. I enjoyed the tacos. They are very juicy and very messy. On the smaller side, and the tortillas are fried in the red sauce which give them their distinctive look. My husband LOVED them. His grandma made her tacos the same way and he was happy to finally have something that reminded him of her cooking. Menu is limited but they do what they do best - and stick to it. Definitely worth a try!

    Deluxe Plate Consume with Meat
    Alan K.

    My coworker recommended Teddy's and boy it did not disappoint. I ordered the Deluxe Plate Consume with Meat. The meal reminded me of the delicious food that I'd get in Mexico. From their menu, this plate consists of a taco, mulita, tosada, quesadilla, 8oz broth with meat, and tortilla chips. I think the best part of the meal was actually the dipping broth. Apparently Teddy's is actually really famous for their broth and it is very rich in flavor and has a spicy kick to it. It pairs well with a Mexican coke. The meal was extremely delicious after a stressful morning. I'd definitely would come back to this place again in the near future.

    Great taco spot

    Teddy's tacos I discovered them in Venice and found out that they had a taco truck here in Whittier. It is a must try!!! this is my go-to on my cheat days. They got me coming back wanting to cheat every day I love you Teddy.

    Dinner.  Tacos.  Quesadilla (like quesataco) and consomé

    Red tacos seem to be all the hype nowadays. This place is supposed to be really good by most accounts. Was going to try Pepe's red tacos on Vermont but came straight home to Downey and tried this place instead. Let me be real. It is NOT BAD. But it is also anything I had to write home to momma about. We tried tacos. A quesadilla. And two small consome's. Here is the tip of day for you. The beef quesadilla actually is more like a Quesataco that they sell at other birria taco spots. All in all, everything had good flavor. The downfall was the wait. Took us a good 15-20 minutes in the drive thru. More like a sit thru. Would I return? Ummmm... being that I grew up with my dad making some of the most bomb home made birria. I would probably say no... honestly, if you want to try the birria tacos, do it. It's not bad. I've been there. Done that. Didn't stay with a feeling of I can't get enough of this place or not just have these tacos again.

    I'm always down for Teddy's Red Tacos. Except for the wait. It doesn't matter... good things come to those who wait. Do you believe it? You better. Birria, birria, birria... There is some outdoor seating available during COVID. Fuck COVID. I'm sick to death of this. If you're having a hard time, I'll drink to you. Even pray for you. Or send you positive vibes. I'm with you there. But for simple joy. Good food. Just a little more on the wallet than you probably want to pay... go here now. Parking sucks. Park in the alley if you have to. You're my people if you like tacos, and I fucking love tacos. Thanks for coming to the D-o-dub, Teddy's. TIPS * try the "Deluxe Plate" ($14.55... this price is if you ask for beef in your BROTH aka consome)... you will basically try everything from the menu with this order! * beef quesadillas ($4.15) can be plain as requested * the tacos are a bit small, so 4 of them ($8.28) for a 6'/170 lb. man might not be quite enough... or so my brother says * pay with cash and avoid the 4% surcharge... feel me yet?

    I'm taco ready.

    My best friend needed a ride and said "Hey, let's get something to eat". I picked this restaurant, since I had never been here before. Well, let me tell you it was the perfect choice. I grew up eating Birria from childhood and I tried great birria and some disasters in my life. I'm happy to say that Teddys Red Tacos are some of the best in LA. I ordered Birria tacos and a Consome and it was delicious. I really loved the fact that the Consome was not very grease and easy to drink. I only wished, I had more space in my tummy to eat other items on the menu. They have more than enough ample outside seating. The staff is friendly and wear there mask properly. The parking lot is a bit on the smaller side, yet it's not a huge imposition, since you can always order your food to go. I can't wait to visit LA again and make my way back here.

    Great food! Staff was wonderful. Definitely worth it…read more Burria was fantastic. Not tons of seats, but good enough.

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.
