Tacos Neza

The thoughtful and speedy service enhanced the absolutely delicious Cochinita Pibil tacos — savory & sweet— served on handmade tortillas. Delicious!!!

Had the chochinita pibil burrito and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect balance of salty, sweets and savory. Will 100% be back

⭐️ Tacos Neza – Authentic Flavor in Old Pasadena! 🌮🇲🇽 My girlfriend told me about Tacos Neza a while ago, and we finally made it! We parked around Old Pasadena and walked a few minutes — the place was calm and super clean. We ordered the Encostrados — each plate comes with two crispy cheese-wrapped rolls and your choice of filling (Pastor, Asada, Chicken, or Veggies). I tried one Asada and one Chicken — both incredible! The meat was perfectly grilled, the cheese crust added a smoky touch, and the flavors blended beautifully. 🤤 They also give you pickled onions and a few spicy sauces on the side — highly recommend adding a little green salsa for extra kick. 🌶️🔥 The vibe is modern but cozy, service is friendly, and prices are fair. ✅ Great for lunch or early dinner ✅ Clean interior with cool wall art ✅ Fresh, authentic taste Totally worth it — especially the Asada Encostrado! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simple table & ordering set up with quick service & delicious tacos. We tried the chorizo + potato breakfast taco paired with Chicken Green Sauce & both came out hot with tons of flavor. Perfect quick snack & sampling.

At first I thought $5.25 for a taco was very overpriced, but after having them I will say they are extremely good and quite worth it. Some of the best tacos I have ever had, they come out fresh and made to perfection. Stuffed with meat and so much flavor, I could have easily devoured more than 6 tacos. The ordering is self service and they bring the food to your table. Very clean and nice interior.

What a great little original place in Old Town! The tortillas are freshly made and delicious which makes the tacos fantastic. We had the chicken mole, cochinita pibil, and al pastor and they were all very flavorful! They were served with red and green salsas, neither of which were spicy but both great, and some crunchy pickled onions. We both loved our meal. The restaurant itself is super cute and bright, with fun wall art! The staff were friendly. Overall, a great new option for Old Town.

Got the Mar y Tierra burrito minus beans and peppers, plus guac. 26+ after tip which sounds crazy. Roughly twice what the same version costs in San Diego at The Taco Stand. But it was worth it! That was one of the best burritos I've ever had. All 3 of the sauces were amazing too, particularly the red one (I'm normally partial to green). Portion was big. Tortilla was amazing and it was put together with care. So damn good.

This food was amazing!!! Such great flavors and very fresh ingredients. The tortillas were so good! We had the neza burrito, a shredded chicken verde bowl, a pastor and asada taco. All of it was delicious, we will be returning!

Writing this while still eating….because it’s THAT good. The food is fresh! The food is delicious! The location is convenient! I enjoyed the Asada Bowl while my husband ordered 3 tacos: shrimp, pastor, and chicken verde.

It was a wonderful experience. My tacos were delicious, the boy who attended us was super friendly.100% recommended.

Very unassuming little place tucked off of Colorado with some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. Very flavorful and great use of Whole Foods. Feels very healthy without sacrificing the deliciousness. Will definitely be back.

Loved the food, service and prices. Will visit again.

Visiting from TN, and I am pretty happy with this place! I got the 3 tacos to try out (asada tilapia and shrimp). The asada is prolly the best I have ever had to be honest! Straight off the grill on fresh tortillas and the sauces are insanely tasty. Thank you for being here! 🥰

Tacos Nieza in Pasadena is hands down one of the best taco spots I’ve been to! The place is super clean, which I really appreciated, and you can tell they put a lot of care into everything they do. The tacos were incredible—so fresh, flavorful, and honestly just made with really good ingredients. It’s hard to find a spot that feels both delicious and a bit healthier, but they’ve nailed it. The staff was really friendly too, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back soon!

The bacon breakfast burrito is very good! And our kiddo loved the shrimp taco. Very easy touch screen to put in your order. You can even a type in modifications to your order. Like my child wanted all the shrimp taco fixings on the side so I typed it in and all the food came out made to order, exactly how we requested it. If you like breakfast burritos, Tacos Neza is up there with Wake n Late, bbad and Lucky Boy. Another great contender for the best Pasadena breakfast burritos.

I come here almost once a week. Everything is super fresh and delicious. The host / server is awesome, always friendly and attentive.

Me and my wife were looking for a new restaurant to try out and really wanted some good Mexican food. We looked Tacos Neza up and saw they had excellent reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was out of this world great. I got the three taco plate and she got the taquitos. Both of our dishes were full of flavor and fresh. The green salsa was amazing and the homemade tortillas completed the meals. Service was quick and efficient and it didn’t break the bank. I think we found our new favorite Mexican food and will definitely be making a return trip soon.

The food here is really flavorful and delicious a great spot to grab a bite when driving up to/from the bay. Everything is served piping hot, the corn tortillas are made fresh on site and all the ingredients are super fresh. The salas are flavorful and spicy! The cashier is bilingual and handles the front, takes care of tables, restocks drinks and helps out in the kitchen. Every time I’ve been, there’s a beautiful older woman cooking with so much love you can really taste it in every bite. Definitely a 10/10 recommendation. Depending on what you order, it can get a bit pricey but they also have affordable options. Even as a meat eater, not having lard in the beans is a huge plus.

Hot dang! Had the asada bowl and it is incredible- I don’t know if a meal has brought me this much joy in a long time. The flavors are savory and the ingredients are fresh and healthy, combined to perfection. Wow, just wow that was yum

Awful customer service. The guy who brought us our food was very rude and fought with us when we had confusion over the menu. He refused to admit any fault over his behavior and will probably say the same in response to this review. The food ended up being good, but I recommend ordering take out instead. His attitude ruined our day.
