The Taco Man catered my daughter's graduation party for 150 guests. The service was professional and the quality of food provided was exceptional. The meat was amazing and everyone complimented on how good everything was. Most guests went back for seconds and there were still leftovers that were neatly packaged for our family to enjoy. It was a 10/10! There was never a line and the food was ready for all guests on time. Linens were clean and ironed, aprons were clean, they used black market umbrellas instead of ezups, salsas were labeled, and everything was very clean and sanitary. The owner is also a huge supporter of the local schools and programs. Great business to work with! read more

Im always in the mood for a good taco and when a place gets recommended to me I have to try it out. So here we are! The food is pretty amazing. I tried the Pastor, Carne Asada, and Campechano. The tacos were loaded with sauce and cabbage, cheese and beans. The salsas had great flavor with a nice kick. If you can handle the heat I highly recommend the Pineapple Habanero salsa. Sweet with heat. I ordered the regular street tacos, the Sonora tacos, the taco man style tacos, and the mulitas. Not one complaint except that I didn't have room to try more. Susan was great when helping us at the register. She answered all our questions and was patient with explaining sizing and ingredients to us. The vibe is very relaxed. Great music, sports on the TV, and a mixed variety of younger folks, older folks, and families. This place hits the spot and checks all the boxes for a great Taco place to enjoy some food with the family. Oh and they crank the food out really fast too. Needless to say, we're coming back! read more

I'm so disappointed with an experience I had here today, May 10. I placed an order for two burrito bowls and the cashier (a Hispanic girl with black hair) charged me for two burritos. I didn't think to check my receipt because I clearly asked for bowls. When my order was ready, the cook brought a bag of burritos and that's when I noticed the cashier charged me for burritos instead of bowls. Not one of them apologized for their mistake. They said, "receipts are provided so you can double check your order." What kind of customer service is that?! It is not my responsibility to check this. I was clear when I was ordering. If the cashier selected the wrong item, that is her fault! The cook offered to remake my order, but by that time, I was so irritated that I lost my appetite. I asked for a refund and had to request a receipt of proof because the cashier didn't bother to print it, initially. I also asked for her first name in case I have issues with the refund and she declined to give that information. So odd of her. I only asked for it to have it ready if I needed to call in the next few days if I didn't receive my refund to mention who processed my refund. She needs better customer service and needs to learn that an apology is necessary she is wrong. If the owner ever reads this review, this happened around 3 PM. I have been a loyal Taco Man customer, but after this experience, I won't be returning... read more

The food here is solid , 4/5 But the service is terrible everyone is nice but all the servers seem like it's there first day. They only have one service well it took 20 min to take 2 orders and when it was my turn they took a phone order that took another 10 mins, I understand if there busy but the place was empty and they had a full crew in the kitchen read more

Service was great and the tacos were tasty. The food was made to order quickly and the prices and portions aren't fair. There's plenty of indoor seating and their chips and salsa were tasty as well. Also plenty of easy parking as it is located in a strip mall. read more

Taco Man is in Upland at the Sprouts shopping center. It is on the north west corner of it. First, I've been aware of Taco Man for years because we used to visit him at his stand and I'd been disappointed in myself for not going to the store. Since I had some time today, I thought to myself that I should run in and get a couple of tacos before I go get my nails done because I remember the owner's posts from Facebook and I like to support the small businesses of Upland. I go in and it's packed. I was surprised and happy for him to see all the hustle and bustle. I ordered a shrimp taco (not on menu) and a carne asada taco. I have not yet eaten the shrimp taco because the carne asada taco was super filling. It was also very good. I was very happy with it. The owner came around and gave me some chips and those were good too. Not too salty and nice and fresh. I'm a salsa snob and love hot salsas. I ordered the pineapple habanero because it was supposed to be the hottest and also got the red. For me, the pineapple is too sweet to feel hot so I was thankful I got the red because that went perfectly with the chips and the taco. Even with the hustle and bustle, my order didn't take too long. The owner did a great job of going around to clean and make sure customers were well taken care of. Happy I had the time to go in today. Loved the energy and happy for the store and how full it was. read more

The service was good and the ambiance was on point! I was so excited to see taco man branch out and do his thing. I remember getting tacos from his stand years and years at special events so I was so excited to see The Taco Man close by and couldn't wait to try it again. Unfortunately after waiting for my order I picked up my tacos and burrito and the tacos were so cold and hard! We all were so disappointed in the food we basically took a few bites and threw the rest away (and they're not cheap). My queso cheese was hard and cold, and the meat was cold, hard, and chewy. $30 down the drain. Based on this experience I would not recommend them. Im not even sure if I would eat here again which is very unfortunate because I was rooting for them! read more

I thought I had reviewed this location before, but apparently not. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would. The meat choices are minimal, but the ways you can enjoy them are not. My go-tos are the asada and al pastor, and I prefer them Tijuana-style or Sonora-style. I tried the Taco Man style once, and it was just overflowing with cheese. I would go back, but it's definitely not my go-to spot. The two times I've been, it's taken over 30 minutes to get our order. read more

The few times I have been, it has been good, but nothing to shout about. I like the quality of the meats, and I do especially enjoy the burrito, and the price seems on par with the average. I don't like that the wait is always a bit too long, and the salsas are lackluster, we have to work on that salsa Taco Man. I will add, it's nice that you can watch the game there while you eat. read more

Service was good nothing outstanding. First time here I ordered a bowl the green bowl. Lettuce cabbage meat cheese and avocado sauce. Ingredients was very fresh lettuce was cold and crunchy cheese was fresh the bowl was a good size I didn't finish it. But they forgot the avocado sauce so it was not mixed in the salad. The girl at the register when I told her I didn't get the sauce actually looked in my salad to see if it actually was not there the other girl didn't look just said I will give you some on the side if you don't mind. It was all good. The place was clean I would go back to try something else. read more

Was in the Upland area and wanted to try a Taco Tuesday spot. Had my buddy with me to go have some tacos! $2 taco Tuesday, not bad! The bean and cheese burrito was good too! Gotta have those different flavored salsa. Mines being the green salsa. I would have given 5 stars but I waited quite a bit for my food. They were busy but waited longer than expected. At onetime I was going to see what the hold up was but than my food came out. Other than that, everything was good and the tacos where delicious. This was my first time there and do plan on returning to try other things on the menu. I like also they have my whipped Orange drink. read more

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but this really bothered me. The restaurant itself was nice and the dog was cute, but I honestly don't think animals should be allowed inside where people are eating. It felt really unsanitary watching a dog walking around near tables and food. I understand people love their pets, but there's a time and place for them, and in my opinion a restaurant dining area isn't one of them. It made the experience uncomfortable and took away from the meal. read more

7/1/25 Met up with friends to celebrate Taco Tuesday at this chill place. The vibe is easy & comfortable. It's a walk-up to order your food and staff are friendly. Self serve for your drinks means free refills! I ordered 3 types of the special $2 tacos: al pastor, carnitas & I forgot my 3rd option, plus chips & guac ($6). My friends were almost finished with their meals. I requested for grilled onions & I received some that were barely grilled & cut into big chunks. The flavor of the tacos were a bit underwhelming & my tortilla chips tasted a bit stale. I wanted to enjoy these with my guac but it just did not taste appealing. This shop shares a lot with other businesses but parking is free. read more

Got me some asada Tijuana Tacos here at The Taco Man. First off they weren't real Tijuana Style. Anyway took a nice big bite, the guac was decent but the asada tasted a little too charred, like a Smokey taste, not your classic quality asada taste you get from the big dogs. Overall an alright taco, not Tijuana style and nothing I would come back and eat again. Tijuana Style Tacos: 6.9 read more

Came by on a Tuesday around 130pm, and while the place was busy there was no line. I got my order quickly (4 tacos) for total of under $10, which is a solid deal. The meat serving is generous and they included 2 hot sauce servings and 2-3 corners of lime. I got 2 chicken and 2 carnitas, with the pineapple habanero salsa (their "hot" choice) I was more impressed with the generous amount of meat than the flavor, which seemed pretty muted without adding hot sauce. The heat on the pineapple habanero is nice but next time I'll probably get medium so I can avoid the sweet of pineapple on my tacos. read more

As you walk in it gives you that taqueria smell , we tried their Tijuana style tacos, quesadilla and fish taco. We tried Alpastor & Asada. Meat flavor was 10/10, the size is worth what you pay for. I would have to say the guacamole does need a tiny bit of improvement to get that TJ taco style taste, overall 8/10 . read more

Tried a burrito bowl for the first time and honestly it was ok nothing special meat was flavorful while the beans & rice were very bland salsa was good and the girl that helped me was very nice and helpful also got a chorizo taco that was pretty tasty but almost 4.00 for a street taco is alittle pricey but I get it read more

First time trying it, food was tasting great until we found 3 separate hairs throughout our meal as well as a sharp piece of bone.

Tried the flamed chicken burrito from The Taco Man and it was honestly so good. The burrito was fully loaded and packed with cheese, and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The pineapple habanero salsa was a standout, definitely spicy but also packed with so much flavor. Overall, one of the best burritos I've had!! read more

Taco Tuesday here is not to be missed. But I would come back anytime for the good food and friendly service. Staff very nice. Street tacos $2, chips $2, beer $3. I really love the carnitas. The chicken is grilled and chopped. We also got a couple burritos to go for some people back home. Those are on the expensive side but they are good and big. They would feed two in our house. It's a counter service place, seat yourself, strip mall storefront, Sprouts is the anchor store. I believe this is also in the Glendora Food Hall. read more

My wife and I having been coming here since they have opened. But tonight around 6:00 pm. I went to Taco Man for some food. Stood in lane and waited to place my order. Placed my order and gave him 100.00 cash to pay for my food. Then he tells me he cannot take an old 100.00 bill. That it needs to be new. Really I come in all the time. 63 years old don't think I am going to rip off Taco Man. So I took my money back and got dinner somewhere else with my 100.00 dollars. They were happy to take my cash. Last time I will ever go back to Taco Man. Lot of other places to eat in Upland. They have no problem taking my cash. read more

Taco Tuesday here is worth it! This spot is fire! Love their pastor. I am very picky about pastor. Yum. They have KETO tacos!!!! Yes!!!! I love those. Chicken is grilled chunks the way I love them. The people working here very kind and good. They are quick and they seem to like working here too. The place is small. They do have a taco bar you can sit at to watch all the workers make the food. They have tables and chairs to sit down at. Just overall really good. Love it. Coming back. read more

Fast casual restaurant where you order first then find a seat. I've been here twice already and the food is really flavorful and fresh. Fried fish taco: 10/10. It was crunchy, light batter, and had a good amount of fish meat. Paired with a crème sauce and pico and cabbage. Shrimp burrito 10/10 had beans, rice, pico, and good amount of shrimp in each bite. 20.00, a bit hefty for a burrito but it was yummy and huge! Nachos, it was eh. 3/10. Chips were stale and cheese not melted, I would skip out on this. Family had surf and turf burrito, they loved it. 10/10 20.00 bucks but worth it. Carne asada taco, 10/10 family enjoyed this one . Service was quick, didn't have to wait too long. Red salsa is mild to medium, pineapple habanero is spicy good! read more

It has been long awaited and it has now arrived... my 1400th Yelp review is live! Wahoo, it was a long journey indeed! I had the drafts to get here... I just had to complete them LOL. I dedicate this review to one of my wonderful Yelpie friends known as #37. You know who you are. Thank you so much for remembering my b-day and the yummy lunch treat at no other than The Taco Man. I appreciate your kindness and generosity. Let's begin... Taco Man is located at Upland Town Square on Foothill Blvd and San Antonio Ave. We were here for a late lunch at around 2:30 PM on a quiet Sunday. They weren't too busy. Good amount of seating space with adequate tables and chairs plus stools. They even have a small bar stool section with TV for the game watchers. Funny, I just realized its setup is like a drinking bar so let's call it a taco bar in a drinking atmosphere LOL. They have a soda fountain station... btw, the water button is within the tea container not at the soda machine. They do have an all gender restroom for customer use only. Kid you not, there were some hardworking ladies behind the front counter and back in the kitchen. They were super friendly and nice... very hospitable from taking our orders to delivering the foods to our table to accommodating our requests. Thank you so much ladies! You all rock!! My friend got us a total of four tacos... 2 chicken for me, 1 chicken & 1 beef for him. He also got 1 churizo burrito that was shared between the two of us. He added a drink for himself. I went with the old fashion refreshing water. With Yelp check-in, they offer complimentary salsa and chips. Thank you! Do check in and get your amazing tasting salsa and chips!!! Salsa was really really good... I can taste the freshness straight out of the supermarket and spice was so on point... I wanted to take home a quart, but they don't sell them in larger sizes (hint hint please offer larger sizes for sale... I will buy them!). The chips were different, but a good different... very firm and crunchy not oily at all kind of different... I can't explain it, you'll have to come try them for yourself. They are unique in texture and taste... very homemade type of chips. Anyway, I ended up buying two Baja style fish tacos... one with onions (for moi) and one without onions (for my friend). OMG... everything and I mean everything was so very delicious from tacos to burrito to salsa and chips. Full of chicken meat, onions, and cilantro on my tacos. Flavor was divinely on point. They do not skimp on ingredients whatsoever and it's only $2.95 for each street taco... what a great steal! They do offer other tacos at different prices depending on the taco style. Churizo burrito was of good size and it still had the oil from the skillet oozing out from it... it was a good tasty ooze indeed LOL. It did not taste oily at all... just super delish... great job Taco Man!! Baja style fish taco had a big fried fish fillet topped with lots of cabbage and pico de gallo plus a very tasty sauce... yum, yum! This calls for many more returns for more deliciousness in great quality foods, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I highly recommend The Taco Man. They are located in Upland and Glendora. Btw, they do cater for those planning for a big party. Thank you Taco Man for bringing us amazing spices and ingredients that represent the truest flavors from your humble roots... an authentic meal like no other!! Kudos to you!!! P.S. For the taco connoisseurs who love Taco Tuesdays, they have $2.00 tacos, $2.00 drinks, and $2.00 chips. Come get them now, but on Tuesdays only! But why not have special Taco Everyday! Maybe one fine day we will!! Make it happen Taco Man!!! One more thing, please add camarones to your menu. Thank you!!! read more

I don't know why they are so stingy with the rice and beans in the burrito bowls i paid almost 20 dollars (i got the skirt steak) and the bowl barely has any rice or beans. For that price they should be packing them up. Such a disappointment read more

They have the absolute best food. Some of my favorites are the carne asada killer tacos or their nachos.

We really wanted to like their food. We saw a lot of good reviews and decided to try it tonight. We ordered an asada burrito bowl, Baja style fish taco, chicken quesadilla and a chorizo and al pastor burrito. All the food was bland and had very little to no flavor. The burrito bowl was bland and mainly tasted like onion. The rice, beans and asada had no flavor. We couldn't finish it. The Al pastor didn't taste good and the chorizo was surprisingly bland considering it usually has good flavor elsewhere. The fish in the taco tasted frozen and the crema was bland as well. The quesadilla was the only item that tasted somewhat better but not worth the price. I really hope they add more seasonings to their food. Unfortunately, we won't be going back. It's just too expensive to go out to eat and to waste money on food that doesn't taste good. read more

I'm really really happy with my meal lunch with the chicken and it was extremely flavorful and came with a lot of food for $10. I also got an El Pastor taco, which was so flavorful and it even comes with the pineapple. I think my most favorite thing was the Horchata. It was just made perfectly and didn't have too much sugar and you can tell it had a special touch to it almost like being in your nanas kitchen! They also were really kind and gave me some complementary grilled onions that were so flavorful. I'm definitely gonna save them for an extra meal. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Why is it so hard to find a really good taco restaurant nowadays? Uh, I know why, but let's not go there Anyway, curiosity got the best of me and I gave this place a shot. I've been incredibly disappointed with how mediocre and expensive restaurants are nowadays since returning from Thailand, which has some of the best food in the world. But Southern California is also supposed to have some of the best food in the world. These tacos are very solid. The meat is juicy and tender, even if it's not as fresh as street tacos. The sauce, onions, cilantro, tortilla -- all the accoutrements are done well. The only bad thing about this place is the price. It's not cheap. Four bucks a taco is pretty crazy when you can get even better tacos for $2 in L.A., but this ain't L.A. The taco scene in I.E. is weak AF right now. This place will leave your wallet gaping but will solve your taco problem up to L.A.'s standards. Customer service wise, it was dinner rush. It took 20 minutes to get one taco and they forgot the the sauce. Yikes! However, the sauces were great? read more

The carne asada here is amazing! Get a burrito it's my go to. Although they are pretty big. The service is also great, not long of a wait. Another recommendation would be the Tijuana tacos. read more
