Happy Taco

The burritos here are huge. Make sure to add some sour cream or cheese to take the edge off.

Great taco and burrito place, and a place to chill at their outdoor patio while you wait for them to being your meal and eat. Very clean, staff are welcoming anf helpful. I had the Cajun shrimp breakfast burrito which was very tasty and satisfying. Salsas are flavorful and fresh. Enjoy the fresh iced lemon water as well.

This is one of those hidden gems you see people post about! I usually don’t let reviews sway my decision on where I eat but this day I wanted nachos and when I Google “Best Nachos” this spot showed up twice on two different searches. Let me tell you I must agree with the reviews the nachos were amazing and they give you a huge portion but don’t worry not enough to put me down for the count! I could have eaten two but I’m shredding for the summer. 😂😂

Got an asada burrito and torta here. Both were pretty good. I usually prefer green salsa. However, their red salsa was much better. Reasonable prices.

Today was my first time at Happy Taco and let me just say I am in love with this place. It's a small cozy place with the tables outside. Every single person working there is so nice and show great customer service. Best of all is the food!! Everything is fresh and nicely cooked and presented. The flavor of the meat is extraordinary. Definitely exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be coming back. Thumbs up in my book 😊 By the way the asada fries are the best I've ever tasted and the tacos absolutely delicious.

The service here is always quick and easy. The food is fantastic. We got the carne asada burrito and crispy shrimp taco plate. The shells for the shrimp tacos were super crispy and flavorful! And their guacamole makes you wanna shadow box with the wind cuz it’s so good. The carne asada was juicy and tender with so much flavor. The portion size is big so you will leave there feeling full. They have a small outside area to dine in. That’s what we did. Usually I get it to go. But today we had extra time so it was a beautiful time. Good job to the cooks and staff at happy taco. I’ve come 3 times this week! Thank you!

A good take out spot with a patio for dining. I have a breakfast burrito there twice. Both times the burrito didn’t miss. Hot, tasty and filling with a protein, fluffy egg, cheese and hash brown inside. The tortilla chips that give you with your order are perfectly crispy and crunch and fresh. There are also creative takes on the breakfast burrito including a chilaquiles burrito and even a torta. If you go before 11 a.m. you get free coffee.

We heard that California had great breakfast burritos and we were in the area so we decided to check Happy Taco out. Because we were here on a Saturday, we also wanted some eats from the Salvadoran Street Food Market so we only grabbed 1 breakfast burrito to share. Nonetheless, it was delicious. I love that we ordered from the small window, the experience was new since we're from Toronto. We got to sit at the patio while we waited for our burrito and it was nice and sunny out. We ordered the Chorizo breakfast burrito with tater tots. It was crazily delicious and I wish we got a second one (they also came with chips and salsa which was such a nice touch). Definitely check this place out for breakfast burritos! Highly recommend.

Overall: 4.4/5 (delivery) We ordered on Postmates, and the food was delivered in half an hour. All the portion sizes & prices were great. Birria de Res Tree Tacos Plate ($16.95): I'm also craving birrias tacos when I want tacos. This was a great deal since other places charge like $5/birria tacos & extra $ for the consome. The rice and beans were okay and on the blander side. I didn't really like the consome and there wasn't a lot of meat. The tacos had a lot of meat but they were lacking flavor overall. Wouldn't get this item again. Happy Burrito ($14.95): I saw a lot of good reviews for their burritos so I had to try one of their popular ones. The happy burrito did not disappoint and was so good! There's 3 type of proteins so I was pretty full from eating half of it. Everything about it was good except the grilled carne asada had a lot of the tendons so i had to chew and spit these out a couple of times (definitely not cute for a date). Other than that issue, this is probably my favorite item. Cajun Shrimp Crispy Taco ($6.95): We didn't eat our food right away so we were quite surprised that the taco shell remained crispy the entire time. The shrimps were big and juicy. All the right flavors were there. I can see why this is a popular item. This was also my husband's favorite item of the 3 we tried.

Super delicious place! Very authentic and the burritos are huge. Mine is not pictured because I ate it way too fast. I got the Happy Burrito and it had a great combination of things in it. The tacos were average in my opinion. Come for the burrito though!

Ordered the Happy Fries over the phone for pickup, Delicious!! I've had food delivered from them before, always on time and always tastes good!!

This is our go to mexican restaurant, very convenient to us since it’s a walking distance to our place. Today, we have been craving for their Nacho Asada as it has been months that we haven’t order here, however it truly disappoints us since the meat is not the usual meat that they use for their nachos. I feel like the meat were so dry and the portion of the toppings is way lesser than usual. I am gave them 3 stars since I had tons of great experience of their Nacho Asada and we hope for this restaurant to have consistency in their food.

I have driven by this location and I liked the architecture. I've heard the food is great. Rumor on the street is that the service is very slow with touches of indifference. Remember that you are a Goddess living in the City of Angels. Any lame half-baked boomer would give this place the nickname, "Unhappy Taco" - so I won't do it!

I ordered a burrito with scrambled eggs instead of a fried egg, and they completely messed up my order. When I politely pointed it out, the employee gaslit me and claimed the fried egg in my burrito was “scrambled.” I literally had to pull up Google Images to show her what scrambled eggs actually look like. Instead of apologizing or correcting the mistake, she acted like I was inconveniencing her. No offer to fix it, no refund—nothing until I insisted. And even after making me wait again while they “fixed my order” (mind you, I was the only customer there around 12:10 p.m.), they handed me back the exact same thing. When I asked to speak to a manager, she said the manager wasn’t there and refused to give me a contact number. This is some of the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. No accountability, no effort to make things right, just pure attitude. If you enjoy being disrespected, waiting 30 minutes for a wrong order, and arguing just to get basic service—this is the place for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

Horrible customer service. I ordered a carne asada burrito, with beans and rice, No onions or cilantro for my son. Got a bean and rice burrito with onions and cilantro. Called and I went to pick up the correct order and was charged full price instead of the difference because according to the girl I had already ate it. NOt A HAPPY CUSTOMER AT HAPPY TACO😠

Very disappointing experience. The time I was quoted over the phone was completely inaccurate it ended up taking twice as long. On top of that, the young woman working there was rude and dismissive, with no apology or acknowledgment for the delay. The food is decent, but when the service is this poor, people don’t come back.

This used to be a good spot. The quality has gone down tremendously. The carne asada has no flavor no seasoning. The prices are ridiculous. The asada fries are whatever. the fries are soggy. It’s gross save your money. Also never any parking there. Oh and horrible service from the girl who takes your order. She’s got attitude
