Tacos El Negro — Restaurant in Bell Gardens

Don't be ordinary and get the Carne Asada tacos. They are mediocre at best. HOWEVER...

The mini tortillas are delicious and super soft and chewy, just my style. The locations in South Gate and BG have the same consistent quality, which is always the sign of a finely run taco establishment. This place is a rare find in a sea of mediocre...

The other times I said nothing because I truly have been a customer for many years. But today I found the biggest longest thickest black hair in my tacos after I ate 2 of them. I let the workers know about the hair and they offered more tacos but not my money back. You’ve lost me as a customer. I hope you get this hair situation under control. It’s disappointing to spend your lunch time & money to just be...
