Tacos Los Palomos

One of my favorite taco spots in all of LA county, glad they have a physical location now. Meat selection is great, ranging from lengua to suadero. The pastor is top tier. Hard to find a place where the hot sauce is spicy enough for me but it all comes together here.

I was craving legit al pastor tacos since coming back from a trip to Mexico City. This place more than satisfied - it beat out some al pastor tacos I had in Mexico City.

Al pastor was very flavorful. I asked for it extra browned (bien dorado / dorada? not sure, my Spanish sucks) and it was so good. Tortillas appear to be house made. Salsas were rich, but careful with the red one, it's very spicy. They included a side of grilled onions, jalapenos, and a potato along with my order of 5 tacos as well.

Will be back often.

Excellent food and the two young men who helped us had great customer service.

One of the best spots in LA for enjoying mouthwatering Mexican food.
We tried a Torta Hawaiiana and a Gringa (both with al pastor meat) and individual tacos (asada and pastor). Everything was delicious but the torta was absolutely delightful and totally recommended.

In addition, if you dine in, you'll receive caramelized onions and potatoes as a great garnishment for your order, which I think is excellent customer service.

In general, service is wonderful, prices and food quality are superb and ambiance is perfect for having a good time. Definitely, we'll come back soon.

Witness the local famous taco stand franchise transfer into a fancy store in El Monte in summer 2023. What an amazing progress! I feel upset once I could not find the familiar stand but the new store gives me a sudden surprise. Everything is clean and clear while the decorations are almost the traditional Mexican style. The staff are really welcoming as we talked a lot during the waiting time for my food. Tried the torta Hawaiiana at the first visit. The sweet pineapple is really good with pork and crispy bread. Worth a try! [More food choices to be taken for next couple visits]. The food is a little more expensive than before, but it is worth it as we should go and support them!
