      Got Cabeza Quesadillas. Little soggy but very tasty. Expect some wait- there is usually a line, but once they take your order you will not wait for your food as long as you did in line. Cash only. Prices are super decent!

      No frills cash only spot. It's a building with a few patio tables out front. I don't come here often, although my impression is that it's reliable and open late, rain or shine. There are always at least a few customers in line. The workers are nice, and prices are fair at around $2-3 per taco, $8-9 per burrito, $10.50 for combo plates, and $13 for carne asada fries.

      The carne asada fries come with meat, guac, sour cream, cheese, and a drizzle of green salsa. It's good, but I do crave an element of freshness. I still like it better than the tacos though.

      I once took a friend here for the special tacos, which come with cheese, onion, cilantro, sour cream, and green salsa. He liked the al pastor, but he said that the chicken wasn't good.

      This is my top taco spot when I am go to work
      in the City of Industry.

      There are A LOT of taco places to choose from, but I simply like to compare a regular carne asada taco.

      The top priority is the taste of the meat and this place has got that down! I also like that they add cabbage and cheese to their "regular taco" along with onions, cilantro and salsa. Amazing flavor.

      Long lines at lunch and it's cash only!

      Freshly chopped carne asada!
      3 tacos with everything!

      Don't judge a book by its cover- the food here is delicious. While they may not have a physical seating area, there are seats so if you plan on eating here, I suggest bringing some wipes to clean the table and seats down. Otherwise, order your food and bring it home to eat.

      We ordered the carne asada fries and shared it between three people. Holy cow - the fries were delicious. Even after adding the salsa on top of the fries, they were still crunchy and not soggy. This was my first time eating carne asada fries and I feel like I have been missing out on life. Very good and you get a lot of food for your money.

      This place used to be good, but it keeps getting worst....the meat has no flavor for one and the owner argue about how much meat they put on the tacos or burritos which is very little, so the burritos keep getting smaller but the price goes higher.
      So combined with the rudeness, very little meat that has no taste and the long wait time....not worth it anymore

      The Carne Asada Special Taco was average. It wasn't bad but there was nothing special about it. They pile on a lot of cheese, but it's cold cheese. I would prefer the cheese melted. Also, the meat had a bland flavor to it.

      everytime I visit SoCal, this is my go-to spot..

      No way that I would not get my fill on the Carne Asada Fries!!

      Walked up, they took our order.. We ordered 20 tacos, 4 Carne Asada Fries, and 7 drinks.. they took our oder, no problem! Though, I must say, I hope at that time they could take Cards for payment as well.

      The environment reminds me of typical SoCal Taco walk up.. I love it!

      Love it all! And I will keep coming back to it everytime

      This is the BEST taco place in southern CA! I have been coming here for over 10 years. The staff is very nice and respectful. The tacos are my favorite. I usually get the carne asada special tacos which has sour cream, guacamole, cabbage, cheese and I ask for both sauces (red and green). The combination of everything put together is just fantastic!

      The burritos are good as well. They have different meat options you can chose from and topping options too.

      Just a heads up it's CASH only, make sure you bring enough cash. Tacos are now $3/taco. I remember when it was $1.85/taco. Worth every penny though.

      Parking has never been a problem as you can park behind or next to the restaurant.

      It's a hole in the wall and there's usually a line but it moves fast. Since they get a nice flow of customers the food is always fresh and delicious.

      There are a couple benches on the side of the restaurant where you can sit and eat or take it togo.
