THE BEST TACO PLACE IN L.A. I've been eating here for nearly 20 years. Can you believe it? The same guys working here then are still there. The tacos are big, packed full of meat, cheese, onions, cilantro, cabbage and salsa. The burritos are the same. They offer asada, carnitas, barbacoa, tongue, and chicken. I usually either get the carnitas or asada. Asada is definitely the most popular, and it isn't fatty or greasy like some places. The carnitas is more hit-or-miss and I'd ask to look at it before ordering. Sometimes it isn't popular and it'll sit there and get dry. Sometimes it can be greasy, so I check before I get, and when I do get not-old, not-greasy carnitas it is heaven in my mouth. There is the option to order food "regular" which is as I describe, or "extra" which includes guacamole and sour cream. I do not recommend the "extra." The good is wonderful as is, and the guacamole and sour cream tend to overpower the other flavors. Plus a burrito that is extra is almost inedible as it is so big around it barely can be contained in the tortilla and is more work to keep it together while eating it. Most people prefer the salsa rojo (red), which is very good red sauce. I prefer the salsa verde (green). It is more subtle, more tomatillo-ey, but still tasty. Either will work and the rojo isn't bitter of overly hot, and so works as a main choice with verde as a backup. This place is almost always busy. Saturday evenings are the worse, where you'll sometimes wait over 30 minutes just to order. Once ordered, the food is pretty quick, but you'll be standing there for a while. It isn't totally bad, as you can make friends with others in line knowing you have something in common: you both love Taco Del Rio.

Favorite Mexican place. The people there practically only speak Spanish and little English. This makes me feel like I'm eating at Mexico. The burritos are what I usually get and the asada fries are to die for. The portions on the fries are huge!

I drove by this place three days in a row and saw lines around the corner to get food. Last day that I was in the area I decided to try it out. It was definitely worth the wait in line! Great Mexican food.

I have been eating here since the 90s, the things that really set this taco place above all others is: their Asada/steak is seasoned to perfection, the absolute best, their red and green sauces are unique, and I have been to a lot of taco shops and never seen these available except here at Taco Del Rio in La Puente. The fact they make everything right in front of you, and take each and every order to the customers request as they like it... that is just as good as it gets... no wonder they keep a line here most of the time, it is that good! Also I have tried the sister place "TACOS del Rio" in Norco/Eastvale area and it is not even close... they have more of a roast beef Asada, and the sauces seem different, so make sure you visit the La Puente Taco del Rio if you want the best! I wish I could open another one just like it in Palm Springs area. The taco places in the desert are nowhere close to the great taste of Taco del Rio in La Puente!

Heard about this spot many, many moons ago. Finally found time to have lunch with the girlfriend. Both of our 1st time here. And I cam honestly say now I understand what the lines into the parking lot mean. Yes we both got the tacos 🌮 😋 and yes they were filling and delicious. The presentation was great plate full of food the tortillas, meat (carne aside of course), cebolla (onions) & cilantro topped with cheese 🧀 😋 and their salsa verde/green sauce was all that 👌 😋 🔥. Let's just say that you better bring an appetite because they serve plenty. A must try and experience yourself as I have. As Schwarzenegger stated in The Terminator (quote) '' I'll be back" (end quote) 👍🏽

They're cash only, but are worth every cent! The burritos are no joke, they are big and never skimp on the meat. There's always a line, but the cooks keep the line moving. Awesome!

This is a little hole in the wall place with some of the most authentic yet simple mexican cuisine. They have a small variety of option but I promise you will not be disappointed with what they have to offer. The prices are really good because no matter what you order it is always stacked with ingredients and meat. Absolutely would recommend to anyone wanting to get a quick bite without sacrificing any taste !

Had the super combo burrito which comes with sour cream and guacamole...it was fabulous. I'd never heard of this place. I decided to eat their because it had a line coming out the door (that's when you know a hole in the wall is good). I'm glad I stopped. I will be eating their often.

Been coming here for years.it has had some changes over the years but it still hasnt dissapointed me.Asada fries,burritos,cheeseburger special, are some of my favorites.On certain days and hours it does get super busy but what i do is call nd make an order to beat the line. Wich is Easy nd convinient. This is An Cash Only spot just a little heads up...it does have some outdoor tables to sit and eat there.Give it a try im sure you'll be satisfied

Lots of HATERS out there…but this place is hands down some of the best food I’ve had, always stop by on my way to my moms in Riverside, I live in Bakersfield and have been going here since I was 10 years old(now 43) always have the best carnitas with “NO” fat in it and shredded so beautifully. Special combo is the way to go!!!

Best Tacos Especial this side of the Rio! Don't waste your time getting the plan regular plates of tacos that others serve. You must try the tacos all the way fully loaded as tacos especial...trust me.. soooo worth the double calories! Go big or go home people! I make it a point to drive out over 45 minutes from where I stay to eat here when in California.

Rafael Palacio

This place hasn't changed since the first time I ate there 20 years ago. Food still delicious, prices are so affordable. Anything they sell there is worth a taste. Highly recommend their burritos.

I've just been back here after being gone for 8 years. The same guys are still running the place! That tells you it's got to be good. Food is excellent, don't let the exterior of the building fool you. Walk up get some great food!

Tacos 🌮 are delicious.

I don’t care if this place is considered “authentic” Mexican or not, their tacos r DELICIOUS! Their meats are seasoned to perfect and they arnt stingy with how much they give you. The tacos are piled with meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, onions, chili verde or rojo, cilantro, lemons and two tortillas! The prices are completely fair and though the lines are usually long, it goes quick. No matter what u order on their menu, you won’t be disappointed! So glad this place exists! 😋

P
Pablo Ramos

I live across the st this is a bomb spot 💯the meat is good and juicy. But always remember to be specific how you want your order because sometimes they can add too much cheese or too much of something . Lines are always long on weekends . Your lucky if there's no line .

T
Timothy Lin

"It's been here forever so it has to be good" is what I told myself when I finally came to try it. Thank goodness. They have some of the best Mexican food in the area. Try the cabeza or lengua in a burrito or taco. Can't go wrong with it! Price is nice too.

J

I live closer to Boca Del Rio bite once I tried Taco Del Rio I never went back. I order a combo burrito with asada. With everything on it plus guacamole. Service is always quick and friendly and they treat me like family. Most importantly despite the size of the place it it kept clean and sanitary. I have never gotten sick eating there which I can't say the same for boca.

J
JESSE “SUPERMAN8”

Pretty good tacos and burritos. They have meat quesadillas they look good never had them and also they have super nachos look good never had them. Well worth it to taste there food. They have no chicken or fish here just beef, pork and younger and Al pastor and carnitas. 👍🌮

Hidden jewel of a taco stand. Delicious tacos and always crowded, that's how you know it's good! Haven't tried the super fries yet but I heard from customers that it is a huge portion and very satisfying.

First time and immediately blown away by the service and tacos. Would've been better if a little bit cleaner tho.

Salvador Monella

By far, the BEST tacos in Los Angeles County. Tasty and packed full of ingredients for an impossibly low price, if you're only going to visit one area taqueria, visit THIS ONE. The asada is always good. The carnitas are hit and miss, so ask to take a look at the meat before ordering, unless you just absolutely HAVE to have carnitas regardless of quality. Sometimes the carnitas can be greasy or fatty, but when it's good, it is very good. The sauce is nothing special, just off the shelf red and green sauce from some restaurant supply store. What makes the tacos so good is the quality and quantity, and the low prices. Basically tacos and burritos come in two levels: regular and deluxe. Regular tacos come with meat, onions, cilantro, choice of red or green sauce, with plenty of Mexican cheese on two tortillas. They're "street tacos," but are bigger and better than the other street tacos out there. Burritos have basically the same ingredients wrapped in a large tortilla. Combo burritos add beans. A lot of people order the quesadillas, but I don't think they're anything special. If you do order them, order them with meat for just a tiny uplift in price for a much better quesadilla. Try the sopas. They're excellent. Deluxe adds guacamole and sour cream for more money, but I think they aren't the bargain the regular food is. Be careful when ordering. If you order, whether you speak Spanish or English, be careful when asking for "with everything, " or "con todo," because an unscrupulous taco-preparer will take that not as a license to put on the requisite onions, cilantro, sauce, & cheese, but to add the overpriced guacamole and sour cream. It seems the same staff, same cashier, same cooks, etc. have been working at this place for DECADES. At least they're the same one's I'm familiar with from the past 25 years of eating here. Usually there's a staff of at least 3 people working here, but sometimes there are as many as nine or ten employees crammed into this tiny taco hut. This place is very popular and typically very busy with people lined up. The line generally moves pretty quickly, but in the worst of circumstances, it's taken me 45 minutes from the time I arrive to the time I get my food. Also, check and make sure the amount you're charged matches what you've ordered, because I've caught them adding extra to my bill. There are some tables and benches ringing the exterior of the restaurant, but there's only around half a dozen and they're usually occupied if it is anytime near meal time. This restaurant is located in a small outdoor strip mall, and parking has never been much of an issue, even at the busiest timesd.

From Portland and needed a taco fix. They were great. Fresh. Carnita tacos were perfect. Counter people were very nice and quick to make my order. I will visit again before I leave the area. I read reviews that said the food was greasy. I'm not sure what they ordered but mine was not and was excellent.

I
Isaac Jaurequi

Cash only. Ate here for breakfast. The beans were hot and fresh, the rice was soft and flavorful and their Salsa Verde was fire. Its well worth the stop if your staying at the hotel up top of the hill. Open late and early. A burrito, taco and med soda was $12.25. Everything had guac and cheese on it a super plus for me.

Never a let down. It's very rare that you come here and there's no line. Great food, good prices, friendly employees! The Tacos Especial are a must try. The only downside is they're cash only. A must try if you haven't had food from here!

Always stop by when in the area. The best Mexican style food in the SGV. I was in the area in mid 2023 and still a great carnitas burrito! To the bad reviews, they will make your food however you like. So to complain there was too much of something or not enough of something else, that was your fault. You could have gotten 90% meat and 10% guacamole. Or whatever you like. Also why are you ordering a "hamburger or fries" at a place like this? That's like ordering fish and chips at a famous steakhouse. Also they only have a walkup window. There is no drive thru so those reviews are obviously the wrong place 🙄. Overall food is very subjective. The word "authentic" is thrown around like it actually means something. Taco Del Rio is Mexican style the way they do it. I doubt you will be disappointed if you try it. If you are it's because you are used to something else. I've gone here since the early 80s and it might have changed a little but it's still one of my favorite places to get a burrito.

SERIOUSLY THE BEST TACO/BURRITO SPOT YOU CAN GET I TRY TO ALWAYS GO HERE FOR MY BURRITOS 🌯 THEY HAVE RICE & BEANS SO THATS A HUGE PLUS, MEAT IS COOKED TO THE RITE TEXTURE AND IF YOU LOVE TO EAT LIKE I DO THEN YOU'LL PROBABLY GET 2 BURRITOS AND ASADA FRIES 😄 TRY THEM OUT 😋

Gianna Zepeda

I've been coming here since the burritos were $5. They were delicious then, and they're delicious now. They don't skimp on the fillings and the guys are super friendly. I usually go for a chicken burrito but they also have other things. The asada fries from this place are the best I've ever had. Admittedly I haven't tried many but that doesn't change that they're delicious and big enough to share. I love this place. They have sit down room but it's all outside so I prefer to bring my food home.

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!

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.

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!

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

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?

This is a very popular cash only place. Lines are always long but thats a sign of good food and this neighborhood spot is well known for tasty Mexican food. Burritos, tacos come with a variety of meats. I am creature of habit and got three carne asada street tacos with everything and my daughter got a carne asada burrito. We met a super nice guy in line who recommended the burrito. I only removed one star because the line took a while. There appeared to be line jumpers..those who ordered and left then popped in at the pick up area to retrieve their food while we had to watch our food sit in line behind the window.

Been coming here since the late 80's.. Never a disappointment.. all their food is satisfying. Burritos , tacos are delicious.. if your gonna order asada fries make sure they do the fries dorado's ( crispy).. Hamburgers are very good.. menu hasn't changed much over the years.. surprised they don't have breakfast burritos or bacon for the burgers.. that's the only reason why I gave them 4 stars ..

I had not been there in 3 years and I was looking forward to the Nachos con queso. But the no longer have it and they told me the never did. I know they had them so something changed my Carne Asada was as good as I remembered. Its a shame they don't have that Nachos and fries con queso. It was Awesomeness in a aluminum plate. 😒

Mr Cabby

Only the outside of the building has changed but the food is exactly the same for the past 20 plus years, good stuff!! Still CASH ONLY so be aware. The guy at the register needs to be a little more friendly though and lose that cara de fuchi!! Estas feo cabron but don't be mad at the patrons...

I used to come here a lot when I lived in the area. The quality of the food has gone down but the customer service remains excellent. They could use one more cash register to make the line move faster when paying. There's usually a longer line to pay than there is to order food so your food sits awhile while you wait to pay.

The quantity of food is great. My burrito was a little cold but it wasn't too bad. Theyre very generous with their servings and have no problem giving you extra condiments on the side. I would definitely recommend Taco Del Rio for a quick lunch or dinner pick up.

Really love their Carne asada burrito it's honestly one of the best ones. The flavor is just great. The only thing I don't like about here is that it's just cash only. I think it's time to change the payment method to this location. There is so many ways to take payment nowadays. I really don't understand why it hasn't changed. There's been more times where I couldn't eat here due to not having physical cash.

Good food. Love their tacos and burritos.

First time here and I have to say al pastor and cabeza are definitely their best meats. I would just avoid adding the shredded white cheese on your tacos....overall good spot.

A little history about this place. Used to be Baker’s Tacos back in the 70’s. It was Kals Taco around 1978 but didn’t survive more than a year or 2. Then it became Goody Goody Taco. Don’t know how long they stayed afloat but probably not long as it was an inexperienced Korean owner just like the Kals Taco owner. Anyone know how long Goody Goody Taco lasted and what replaced them? Anyone been around back then and tried the food?

Great famous place, been coming here for years. Burritos are a little smaller than back in the day but still good.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Tacos are decent, not anything special. They do give alot of fries. Parking isn't hard to find but it's just ghetto sometimes. A big fight broke out last time I was there and doesn't seem like anyone cared nor did the business do anything..

Popular place. Long lines considering it's a takeout with only outdoor seating. Was excited to eat here. La comida...hm.. well, it was ok....average...rice was hard, fijoles were thick and bland. . the carnitas is the dry shredded type, the big plus was the carnitas wasn't too salty... I really like the amount of street taco tortillas given. The tomato was sliced, diced would be helpful so you could distribute on small taco better. Basically you build your own street taco. On the plus side, it reheated well when I got it home...and actually tastes great once you doctor it up...with more flavor. Considering the $15 it's kinda pricey for soft tacos with only a small plop of guacamole. Que lastima, lo siento.

Haven't been here in probably 20 years. This Local Hole-in-The-Wall Favorite has gotten a makeover since I was last here. Looks a lot better than when I was last here. Their Menu is pretty simple. All the usual Meats for Burritos & Tacos + Burgers and Fries. There are like various options to have your Burritos With Everything (The Special), Just Meat, All Meat and what not. I went with a Carne Asada Special Burrito and Orange Bang. My Burrito was HUGE and BOMB👌👌 Friendly Staff. No Restrooms. Place is Clean. Plenty of Parking. Liquor Store behind. Seating on South Side of Restaurant along the Side Street. Keep in mind, this is a Grimey Area. CASH ONLY.

update📢📢📢Dec 2022 I don't come here very often anymore but they are using rice in the burritos, this is somewhat recent. Today I asked for no rice pls, and got so so so much cabbage barely any cheese, and about 2 Tablespoons of carnitas and the rest beans. If you look carefully you might spot a piece of carnitas😂

Seen this spot a few times always packed. We decided to try it out. I've had better tacos. They have no flavor. The carnitas were not it. The Asads was okay, but the alpastor was better. I love the authentic Mexican spot with the unlimited salsa and sides to grab yourself. They were fast and friendly but used the same spoon to grab all the coked meat to make the food.

Carne asada fries, this meal can easily feed 3-4 people. Made to order and fulfilling!

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…

If you are looking for traditional street tacos this is not the place. Meat is not cooked to order. I would say this place is “American” style food. Hot sauces have no heat or flavor. Food is expensive for quality. I went to this taco spot because of review rating. Totally misleading. Look else where if looking for taqueria.

Not the same as it was a few months back. Burritos were smaller and less meat in them. Really surprised me. Plus the cost of beef is more expensive and they charge more for the Asada burrito. Wasnt worth it. Flavor was still good but quantity compared to before was below standard. Sadly dissapointed.

This used to be my go-to spot for delicious burritos and tacos at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the quality has gone down while the prices have gone up. The food is just okay now—not worth the higher cost, especially for takeout. The place is also not clean, with dirty outdoor tables and a generally run-down vibe. It’s disappointing to see how much it’s changed, especially since the original staff is no longer there. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

I got the “Special Combo” Burrito, and while yes I got full, it didn’t really taste that good. Definitely “meh” and at $9.75 (burrito only, no drink!) I expected something amazing. I have no idea how these mundane restaurants stay afloat at these ridiculous prices. If the food was marginally good I’d understand, but honestly this burrito was mediocre at best. They also put 60/40 on beans vs. meat to make the burrito look big. This “special” version was supposed to have guacamole and sour cream, found that the sour cream pooled at the bottom end of the burrito, while the guacamole was literally non-existent! So disappointed. Don’t come here. Or at least skip the burritos, big time rip-off.

I don't really know what the big deal is about this place. Any taco stand has better food than this place. Their carne asada is dry with no flavor and has lots of grease. I think it is more nostalgia than great food.

This place is NOT worth $17 for one burrito. My son asked for mixed meat NOT extra meat. The portion of meat was so mall. He asked for Al Pator and it was shredded meat. GROSS . Thank God I h…

Ordered an Al Pastor burrito. The meat was flavorless and was filled with mostly rice and beans. The kind of quality Mexican food you get from Chipotle, not a real Mexican taco spot in Southern California. You're better off getting food from a street vendor.

Food did look good, but I did not see clean stuff how they were handling. The chicken did not look proper.

I was waiting in line when some dude behind me asked the worker for some tacos. They made it for him before I was even addressed. I don’t need to try this place, it’s already garbage to me.

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

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.
