Tacos El Pollo - Pasadena

I'm not sure if it was our hunger from the hike, but my wife and I ordered two carne asada burritos with everything, and they were fantastic. I also got a small horchata on the side. I drenched my burrito in their green tomatillo sauce, and it was just perfect. While it may not be the absolute best burrito I've ever had, it was definitely a solid choice that really satisfied our cravings.

This is my favorite late-night taco spot. The food is consistently good, and I appreciate that they provide all the condiments (like salsas, onions, cilantro, and radishes) for you to serve as much as you like. The only thing I wish they had was jalapeños. I definitely recommend it!

I ordered the Asada Quesadilla, one Al Pastor taco, and one Pollo taco for variety. The prices were reasonable: Quesadilla for $10.00, tacos for $2.50 each, and nachos for $8.00. The cucumber and red onions added a delicious touch to the dishes. I noticed a slight change at the salsa bar; they now have salsa in squirt bottles on ice. You can still enjoy all the extras like lemons, onions, cilantro, radish, and cucumbers. The place does get busy as the night goes on, but it's a solid taco spot located in a car wash.

My brother and sister-in-law introduced us to this restaurant three years ago, and ever since that first visit, we’ve been hooked. It's become our go-to spot! Recently, we brought my other sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and a friend from Houston, and they all raved about the food. Of course, California Mexican cuisine is outstanding, so it’s no surprise they loved it. The food is genuinely delicious, and we appreciate having salsa, cilantro, and onions available on the table for our convenience. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the super spicy yet incredibly addictive cucumbers! You can also request grilled onions, and they’ll happily provide those as well.

We visited Universal Studios and stayed at the Embassy Suites in Arcadia, which is just an 8-minute drive from the taco truck. I must say, I went there every night! The mulitas de suadero are the best thing I’ve ever tasted—so delicious and highly recommended. The carne asada burrito was good, but I can’t eat cilantro, and I wish they had informed me about that. However, my kids loved it and said it was delicious. The tacos are small and don’t come with onions or cilantro, so make sure to grab some before you leave. The service is good, and they prepare the food fairly quickly; my order took a bit longer probably because of the mulitas. It’s cash only, so make sure to bring enough cash, as many people seemed unaware of that. The ambiance is okay; most people get their food to go, but some choose to sit and eat on the side of the fence. Definitely check this place out—you won’t regret it!
