The Taco Stand

The taco stand is a popular Southern California taco chain spot and because it’s a chain I didn’t think much of it but it was DELICIOUS. Loved the variety of taco options from fish to beef to vegan options the taco stand had it all. I ordered the spicy shrimp, al pastor, and grilled fish tacos all of which were great. My favorite had to be the al pastor that had pineapples on it. You have the option to eat it to go or dine in. At this place you order and pay up front then you get a tag and sit down. They bring the food out to your table and you get to enjoy a delicious meal. Definitely visit because it’s a fairly cheap meal.

I had my first fish taco here… I’m incredibly glad I did! The flavors of the tacos you get here are just superb! I got a Quesadilla as well which I thought was the best value on the menu. The portion was well sized and I felt it was money well spent. Once you get your order they have a little bar for toppings and homemade sauces and they all taste fantastic. The churros are also made in house- delicious! Quotes from friends include -“Wow, this is quite possibly the best guacamole i’ve ever had” -“Can we come back here tomorrow… like seriously?” -“This burrito is incredible” -“I could pass away after this taco” The restaurant wasn’t the cleanest but I give it a pass because of the sheer volume of people coming in and out. Clearly this is a local favorite and I can see why. Expect to wait at least 5-10 minutes to order- a bit longer on the weekends. There is indoor and outdoor seating and staff is friendly and busy cooking everything in house! Overall, 10/10 would recommend. I will be back.

Delish & fresh! Two Uber drivers told us we MUST go to the taco stand so we finally did & were not disappointed! The handmade corn tortillas paired well with the grilled shrimp & grilled fish. I got the chicken taco on flour tortilla & it was also tasty & filling. The chips & guacamole were perfect. Service was fast & efficient. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio. I’d definitely go back next time we’re in town.

First time coming here and it was a recommended from friends, the line seemed long but people walked by and said: It’s worth it!!! And let me tell you it was :) we ordered some burritos and tacos and I’ll name it on the pictures! My favorite was the shrimp taco with or without the chipotle sauce, and the lime cream sauce was amazing!!! The el pastor was really greasy unfortunately but it did taste good

Was greeted with about a 30 minute line on Sunday at around 1pm in the afternoon. The staff was snappy and attentive, and they were hustling to take care of everyone. The food was fantastic and the turnover was high. All the salsas were delicious. The only problem is the amount of seating available during busy times, but if you stalk a table you should be okay!
