Excellent food! The ahi tuna tacos was particularily delicious. Service was f good and efficient. Strongly recommend!

The best tacos, very flavorful! Love the environment. A must try

Delicious tacos. Had the pastor, asada, and mole. Mole and pastor were my favorites.

People aren’t joking out those corn tortillas!

I love the original location in Hollywood so when I saw they were opening a new location closer to where I live I had to check it out. It’s great!

Delicious food, awesome service.

Really good tacos tasted like it was in a five star restaurant...

Incredible tacos and burrito! Highly recommend!

Delicious and fresh! Definitely will be back.

Very tasty, clean and fast service.

Tacos are sooo good

Fast service and delicious food!

Grate piece good service

Great food.

Great ‘rritos

It’s the best spot in Pasadena to eat really good tacos

Delicious tacos i had the carne asada

Super delicious carne asada burrito! I was craving a steak burrito (meaning the meat was sliced thick and not tiny pieces of meat) and Tacos Neza fulfilled that craving. I ordered the carne asada burrito without cheese and added rice. Perfection! The jamaica was also very tasty! So glad I tried this place and it is now my favorite burrito spot in Pasadena. Would love to try other items on their menu.

This is my fav place to get burritos in old town. Their food is healthy and affordable, and the staff is always nice.

Let me tell you... I will be dreaming of this burrito for the rest of my life ✨️ I've had Mexican food in Cali, but never like this! The flavors took me straight back to Mexico City. The flavors were phenomenal 🥹 I got the veggie burrito with guacamole added. The potatoes were seasoned to perfection, the poblano was grilled packed with flavor, the cheese was melted, the side of red sauce was giving authentic grilled chipotles without an over spicy punch it was just right. The burrito was grilled perfectly to the point it wouldnt open on its mended fold and you could eat the burrtio with peace of mind and just vibe each bite. Lots of little happy dances were done while eating this burito 😆 The mint lemonade was an added bonus, sososo fresh and didnt taste artificial ✨️ Please open one in Vegas 🙏

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

Popped in for a quick snack, had one of the best Asada tacos I’ve ever had. Will be coming back for more!!

First time here I ordered the carne asada burrito with guacamole and sour cream based on a review I saw. It was exceptional!! I will be back and will bring my family. I grew up in SoCal, so I know my burritos. The carne asada is fantastic. The thinly-sliced high-quality steak really stands out for me. All of the components in the burrito are tasty and proportionally balanced. *****!!

This was great tacos. The service was really nice the atmosphere was chill and the food was exceptional. There was no grease pouring out of the tacos and everything just tasted amazing.

Finally, Old Pasadena has the tacos it deserves — delicious, fresh, and filling. I tried the pastor, asada, and fish tacos — there was something special about each of them, and my taste buds loved it. And the price is 100% worth it. The place itself is spotless and chill, and the owner, Antonio, delivers fantastic service.

I’m usually skeptical when taco spots don’t look like mom and pop shops, but holy smokes their tacos were 🔥🔥🔥 super yummy and full of flavor. Super kind staff too. I got the grilled chicken, el pastor, and cochinita.

Delicious food! Service is fast and very efficient. We had bowls, tacos and burritos! All was delicious!!

Had the tilapia and pastor tacos - thought the tilapia was extra delicious!

Got the veggie burrito and it was delicious! Great option for vegetarians. Everything had good home-cooked flavor.

Some of the best mexican food around! Without exception. Their carne asada burrito is next level and the salsa is amazing. The red salsa has smokeyness to it that is unexpected and really a pleasure.

Stopped in this afternoon and I’m really glad we did. The service was great, and the tacos we had were perfectly cooked. We’re definitely coming back!

Amazing food!! Had the burrito and quesadilla. Portion size pretty small but very delicious and filling. Great atmosphere

I was walking down fair oaks and saw a new restaurant open. Walked in and ordered the Al pastor burrito. Omg it was amazing, best pastor I’ve ever had. And the beans are amazing as well, next time I’m definitely gonna try some tacos and the taquitos.

Excellent food! Mar y Tierra Burrito is quite good. Their Cochinita Pibil, Al Pastor, and Chicken and Green Sauce are delicious Tacos.

Best al pastor taco ever. Wonderful unique taste.

Asada and cactus and tongue were amazing!! Everything was so good!!!!! Thank you for being fast and flavorful and so nice to my family!!!

I love the taquitos!!! So so good!!! I ordered 2 chicken and 2 potatoes comes with sour cream, cheese lettuce and guacamole and I get full with that. Definitely I recommend

Got the veggie bowl. It was delicious! You can have it without cheese to make it vegan. Wonderful!

You won’t regret getting the tacos here

⭐️ 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.

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.

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.

Food was so good! Clean environment and clean bathroom!!! Def recommend it if you visit the area!

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.

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

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

¡Vengan a probar! Get a chew. Neza was a poet, Lengua is poetry.

Great for lunch fresh ingredients I’d come back for sure

+1

Over-rated, tacos are ok, not real Mexican style. Service was like the guy didn’t care. Beanie probably the big quesadillas.

Honestly the food was okay, nice grill pattern on the tortilla though. Gave chicken instead of al pastor or just gave mid pastor

Good food, tasty, not really the flavors I expected though, the grilled chicken taco was the best. The cochinita tasted like pulled pork bbq. Went there twice because different friends wanted to try it. Second time I had the bean burrito. It was filling but very plain. Hot sauce and pickled onion didn't rescue it. Smells from the kitchen (like burnt plastic) led us to sit outside both times.

Don’t know about the food. Got here Sunday at 12 and it was not open with no hours posted but on google it says open. It’s not easy to park as it’s close to Colorado Blvd.

disappointed. The burrito quality was not up to the price — bland and nothing close to the LA Mexican food standard. Paying $18 for a basic burrito was absurd. Definitely not worth the price.

Service was fine for us, but the food wasn’t good enough to warrant the high price. Disappointing al pastor

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.

You guys need better customer service!!! The guy in the back cooking came to me so rude today! Ridiculous!

Heinous staff, the worst ever. Bad price. So rude

No. Reheated food that is overpriced.

Not for me!! It’s a small restaurant with only one server and probably one cook. You have to use their self service kiosks to order food. The food took forever to come. It was not good. The steak plate was bland and tasteless. The scrambled egg plate was a shame. The salad was stale. The avocado was cut as thinly as possible. I can imagine all the restaurants are cost cutting these days but this place was beyond me. Their prices on the menu are on par with normal restaurants prices but the portions sizes are minuscule. Watered down coffee was the nail in the coffin. Chipped plates were another eyesore. Won’t recommend it.
