La Imperial Taqueria

The service was amazing the staff was very welcoming and helpful. I ordered the famous handmade tortilla tacos and they were delicious! The chilaquiles were saucy and the tortillas maintained their crunch. Will definitely be coming back 👍

One of my most favorite Mexican spots. I love how they are so dedicated to make food from fresh ingredients. Also most items are made to order including meat. So expect a waiting time. However, it is worth it. I have tried both - regular and homemade tortillas and I sincerely recommend the homemade ones. Not only because they taste good but I haven’t had tortillas like those anywhere else. Be it a light snack with a couple of tacos or a horchata or for a regular dinner, La Imperial will already be my place to go if I’m in the neighborhood. Forgot to mention, I always ask them to make me a regular sized salad with either chicken or shrimp and trust me, it’s one of the best fresh salads I have had.

Very generous good tasting food, lots of flavor well seasoned meat, food here way better then all the competition friendly staff, always smiling at me, I feel welcomed. 5 Star for sure The only but I have is that there menu is so vast that I can never make up my mind it’s always hard to choose something new.

From the first moment you come to that place they give you a comfortable feeling. Very friendly hosts, it is a happy place to hang out with friends and colleagues or with your date. delightful cuisine, talented chef, honest pay and courteous service. Warmly recommended.

Food is great and affordable specials. Staff is friendly and it’s a great clean place.

This might be the Cleanest Taco Shop I've ever been in!! The homemade carne asada tacos were Excellent!! I can't wait to tryout the rest of the menu!! 👌

Great food. Friendly staff. No indoor restrooms.

The food here is great! Its clean: in the sense the trash is taken out, there is no messy floors, etc. But I do want to point out that it needs a deep clean, detail clean, you know like ; wiping the chairs, the trash area, the counters and under the counters. I talk about the details because when you sit in the restaurant to eat, its at eye level. You'll see everything.

The food is delicious and at a good price. I've been lucky with the wait cause I heard it can get busy. 99 cent taco Tuesday is the best, its extra if you want the handmade tortillas.

Used to be a decent spot that actually put meat in your burrito but now they only give you rice 👎

Don't get me wrong, food is amazing. But wow is a hand made taco expensive lol. $3 for handmade tortilla plus depending the meat you choose. I've gone to other places and it's way cheaper 😳 Great food!

I paid $23 for this bs??? Not even la Fonda would do this to you?? You’d be able to get two whole meals and a drink with the amount I wasted for a box that’s the size of a small plastic container you take for work lol what a joke of a restaurant!!!!

I bought half and half of rice/beans and you mean to tell me you get this for 6 dollars and something cents is crazy. Like that’s for a baby 🧍🏻‍♂️

Food is ok, but tastes bitter with the customer service they have. The few times I've gone I have been helped by a girl named Susan. It seems like she's always in a bad mood and gets mad when she doesn't get an order right. Pretends is the customer's fault when someone clearly explains to her what they want. The food is ok, but not worth dealing with all that hassle, especially, when their prices are somewhat high.

Me and my boyfriend decided to go to the restaurant in Shafter because he remembered having the “Cali burrito” and it was so good! We started off good, got off, ordered the burrito and that’s when things started going down hill. 10 minutes passed by, 20 minutes passed by, 30 minutes passed by, the initial person who took our order left, and another one swapped in. We are waiting thinking they would be yelling out our order name like a typical restaurant. The whole time the burritos were sitting there. 40 minutes later we finally received our order. Never going to this location again
