Ixtaco Taqueria - El Monte

I discovered strands of light brown hair in my burrito, which was very unappetizing and raised concerns about cleanliness.

Absolutely amazing! I tried the Tocino, Camaron, Asada, and Duck, and honestly, it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The handmade tortillas took everything to another level, and the agua frescas and salsas were delicious. Liam, who took our orders, was incredibly friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back, and I'm not even from this area!

Prepare yourself for a 60-minute taco experience, as you'll spend 20 minutes placing your order and then wait an additional 40 minutes for your food to arrive.

Truly the worst food I have ever ordered. Veggie asada turned out to be chopped up green mush veggie burger which just tasted like used old oil? I got nachos which were mostly dry with a sad spoonful of the beans/guac, the only redeeming part of the disaster.

I love the food and aguas frescas here, staff is always friendly, it’s a bit of a drive from me but always worth it!
