Tacos Los Poblanos Al Estilo Tijuana — Restaurant in East Los Angeles

At first, I was skeptical about stopping at a taco truck familiar burritos and tacos often fall flat. But my wife insisted, pointing out its five star rating and wow, she was right. As soon as we pulled up (parking can be tricky since it's right on the street), the mouth watering aroma hit us the meat sizzles on a grill mounted on the side of the truck while they press fresh tortillas inside.

We ordered a mix of tacos and burritos: the burrito was surprisingly hearty and flavorful, bursting with smoky char and perfectly seasoned meat. Even though I’m not usually a horchata fan, I tried it and loved it because it turned out to be creamy, sweet without being watered down, and just perfect. My kids agreed no diluted flavor at all. The food arrived quickly, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere complete with ambient street side sounds and relaxed music made it feel like an impromptu family picnic under the stars. We all walked away full, happy, and planning our next visit.

Excellent Service!! They wore gloves, masks and very well organized. The tacos wete so so good. When I read the reviews I thought authentic "Tijuana Style Tacos," well we'll see.
