Great guys working there, the people in line were very helpful and the carne asada burrito/carne asada tacos are the real deal. I will definately go back whenever I'm on the 60 freeway.

My first visit here was an absolutely amazing experience. The cashier and cooks were incredibly polite and patient, making me feel welcome right from the start. The seating areas around the restaurant were clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was inviting and pleasant. Everyone was patient and respectful while ordering, which added to the positive vibe. I decided to try their Super Fry's, and it was fantastic—packed with flavor and served in generous portions. Overall, this was a five-star experience, and I can’t recommend this place enough!

Alisha Dugger

Never disappoints! We drive far just to cure our cravings at least once a month. Always on point with the carne asada fries.

JONATHAN BRUCE

I tried this place for the first time today. This little spot always has a line outside when I drive by, so I figured it would be good. As it turns out, I was absolutely right! I tried the carne asada fries to see how they stack up against the others. These guys are not playing around when it comes to toppings. Sometimes different places will skimp on cheese or meat-- not here! Check out the photo!! These fries are stacked and smothered. As I write this, I am dozing off into a sweet, satisfied food coma. I cant wait to go back to this restaurant and try some of their other menu items. If the carne asada fries are any indication, I am sure you cant go wrong with Taco Del Rio.

Carlos Estrada

Great Mexican food. Very good tacos. Will definitely visit here again when I visit the area again.

Chris Tuohino

Absolutely legendary spot. Those who know don’t read these reviews so if you’re reading this you must be naive to how good this place is. Just stop reading and drive here immediately. There’s typically a line and it’s cash only but it’s COMPLETELY WORTH IT. This place is in my top 3 best tacos in LA, so you must come here and get the Special Tacos if you’re a local foodie. Now stop reading and start eating!

Tacos Del Rio is the official hole i. The wall roadside Mexican food place. When I worked in EMS, we used to stop here at least twice per week. That was over 20 years ago, and they're still open and delicious. We would get the carne asada or the carnitas burrito. Make sure you tell them what you don't want on the inside, or else your burrito will swell to mega proportions. The prices are reasonable and it's certainly worth the stop!

Kenneth Wang

Fantastic dinner experience 7/18 Thursday evening. Enjoyed their soft taco carne asada steak , beef tongue, and beef scalp. The most authentic SoCal Mexican food experience ever. I’ve been a loyal customer for the past 30 years. The chef kitchen crew have been the same great group of men I’ve seen 30 years ago. Taco del Rio is my favorite Mexican restaurant in California

Matt Kelley

I can't believe I never went here back in the day when I did some work nearby. It's really good. The Asada tacos with the salsa verde was amazing. Worth the drive from Pasadena and can't wait to go back and try more things like the chile verde and the lengua (lots of people in line were ordering lengua, I heard lengua quesadilla ordered a lot).

Great and amazing food! I would recommend to anyone. Long line when I arrived but well worth it. I had gotten the carne asada fries and these were the best ones i’ve tasted!!! I am definitely coming back when i’m craving some haha

Q: Thinking about hitting Tasty Choice in La Puente? A: Stop thinking. Go. This place isn’t fancy. It’s not trying to be. But if you want solid food that hits every time, welcome to your new go-to. Carne Asada Burrito: Massive. Hot. Packed with juicy meat and flavor in every bite. It’s the kind of burrito that makes you sit back for a second like, “Yo.” They don’t hold back here… this thing fills you up and then some. Carne Asada Tacos: Simple, but legit. Soft tortillas, fire-grilled steak, and a good hit of salsa. No frills, just solid tacos that taste like someone back there actually cares. Cheeseburger Combo: Didn’t expect much from a burger at a taco spot, but this one’s a sleeper hit. Juicy patty, crispy fries, and way more food than you’ll expect for the price. It’s like they dare you to finish it all. Local Vibes: This spot is the neighborhood. Locals pull up because it’s cheap, fast, and consistent. The staff moves quick, the line moves faster, and the food always lands. Pro Tips • Cash only. Don’t get caught slipping. • The portions are wild, so come hungry or bring backup. • If you’re into tortas or carne asada fries, people swear by them too. Final Word Tasty Choice isn’t trying to impress you, it just delivers. Big portions, bold flavors, zero nonsense. Whether you’re hungover, broke, or just hungry, this place has your back. Would you like me to move onto the next step?

Here on a business trip and had a great experience here. The building might need a few "touch ups", the burritos sure don't! Perfecto

Alfred Vergara

Fast and good like always , muy Buena call mida

Absolutely Awesome CARNE ASADA BURRITOS!! 👍 DELICIOUS 😋... It really is a good place to have a bite to eat when you're in the mood for an Authentic Mexican Burrito. I had mine with Salsa Verde.... AMAZING!

Victor “Bee” Bermudez

Meat is great and well seasoned! Asada tacos and asada fries are always my go-to, but the all meat burrito is AMAZING! This gem is definitely a must try for everyone. The ONLY disclaimer is cash only.

One of my favorite taco places of all time. Their tacos are always packed with guac, sour cream, and cheese. Get the taco with everything on it! You won't regret it.

The food is great. Being on a diet, I usually just have a bean and cheese burrito without extras. \nThey do not take credit cards. \nIt's a walk up food place.

I ended up here after a sort of "crash out" a few days ago. Without judging myself, in coping the best way I could, I ordered a carne asada burrito and it tasted just as it had when I used to visit…

Went during lunch hours and it was busy! But they’re quick! You’ll get your food within 15 minutes. Their menu is posted on the wall inside and the taco menu were posted on the glass window area. No pricing was on the inside menu so I did not know how much each items were. I ordered 3 tacos! Which turned into 6 for me since I only use 1 of the tortilla each time. All the toppings dropped became the “2nd” taco of that meat choice. Their toppings: onion, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and red/green sauce! You can ask for the sauce on the side like I did so it doesn’t get soggy. They have seatings around the building. Would recommend if you are craving tacos!

Wes L

The food itself was pretty good, but I have to admit it was slightly greasier than what I would've liked. Not much you can say, considering this is a fast joint where food is made on the spot and that there is a lot of people ordering from them. One complaint I would have is not a clear pricing structure on food and I did feel like we got somewhat inflated pricing due to not knowing how things were priced. That or we weren't informed what costed what and was just taken advantage of. I still would recommend this place even though we paid more than what we expected, because the portions were proportional and the taste was up to par.

Julio “Bigdawg” Moreno

I know that area very well and it tends to busy around lunch time, and evenings during the week, and I always see people there on the weekends. But even if there is a line of people, they are usually pretty fast getting the people there orders. Usually not always.

MyGuyDudeBro (MyGuyDudeBro)

Really good burrito/taco spot. It is cash only so be prepared. You order at the window and they make it at the same time. So wait time is not too bad. However, if you go during peak times which seems to be after 4pm'ish you can be waiting a while. The super burrito is really good and filling. I hear the cheeseburgers and super fries and really good.

Honest to goodness

Great portions and ok prices. Very filling indeed but The lack of flavor. Something wasn't right. I love salt and perhaps it was just me but it needed salt a little. I won't be back any time soon sorry. $18 for a burrito and a medium horchata.

If your hungry hungry and you love tacos this places serves it up basically Man vs Taco solid place fast and easy top it off with a Orange Bang and your day is set

simon ..

Today the meat no test and the salsa like water something change i think the quality is change maybe change the oner

Richard Tay

This place is mid. Burritos and tacos are solid but not great. Not sure why everyone raves about the meat quality - the asada is totally mid, and when we went, a little dry and over cooked (jerky anyone?). Better than ground beef, but not as good as expected. Al pastor was good but not great. Slightly better than avg but not better than most taco trucks. They’re also cash only… what’s up with that…? even taco trucks and stands accept cc or zelle now…

While waiting a few minutes to order, the worker let some guy hop the line. They didn't even address me. Bad service equals bad food.

Monique C.

The service sucked so much that I didn't get to try the food here and their menu is weird.

Eddie G

Al pastor burrito. Red salsa good. Beans and rice ok. Al Pastor terrible, it was dry and crunchy?? Orchata good.

Son Pham

The line goes pretty fast but they threw way too much cheese on my carne asada fries to the point where it was overwhelming and I couldn't taste anything else. Just look at the picture! That is not a normal amount of cheese.
