The Taco Man Taqueria — Restaurant in Upland

I used to go to the taco man on Central. You couldn’t beat their nachos and I loved the green bowl. Price was always standard in my opinion. They weren’t stingy with their salsa and they were fast any time of day. I’ve been to this location 3-4 times. I usually get the carne nachos to share and a regular carne taco.

Sometimes the carne meat is chewy & fatty. The old place used to layer the nachos, this place serves them in a smaller container and doesn’t layer. Once you finish the top layer, there’s nothing on the bottom but chips. Or maybe that was just mine lately.

Usually service is alright. Today I felt the person who was taking my order was annoyed by my questions. They have their digital menu directly above your head so it can be hard to see. Each time I asked a question she just directed me to the menu. I couldn’t find my answer the first time, that’s why I’m asking you girlie! If you’re only gonna have one menu visible, it should be more simple - easier to read.

Don’t even think about asking for extra salsa here. You only get what you “qualify” for. My brother wanted rice added to his burrito and that was $2. For a scoop of rice? Wild.

Today it took a min. I did come at dinner time so maybe dinner rush?

The extra bummer part: They usually have a coupon available in the Claremont Quarterly magazine. This month I didn’t get that magazine in my mail and so I asked if they would honor a digital copy of coupon and she said it “has to be the paper.” Maybe that’s true, she just wasn’t helpful or nice about anything really. Maybe I’d come...

Unfortunately I really wanted to like this place but, once I visited I couldn't help to write an honest review. When I arrived I was not greeted, and the cashier did not even acknowledge me she just stared at me. When she finally decided to attend me ,she told me that it would take 20 min. I waited almost 1 hour. No sorry no nothing. When I received my food the older heavy set woman had so much attitude. I asked her which burrito was which. She responded "everybody knows which burrito is which can't you tell" I was shocked, I was appalled. I had never been there before. I took the food and sat down. Upon opening the tacos which I waited almost an hour for the meat was all crusty and burnt. I waited an hour for crusty meat and attitude, I do not recommend this place unless you like burnt meat...

This business moved to Upland recently from Montclair. It tastes a lot better in our neighborhood!!! This place was a great addition to this shopping center and Upland. We desperately needed more options for tacos, GOOD tacos. They’re extremely generous with the amount of protein in all their options. I ordered one premium skirt steak taco, 2 Tijuana style tacos, one Al pastor and another carne asada. All options were delicious!! The habanero salsa combined with the Al pastor...
