Secret Tacos Tomás - SG in California

"Well, the secret’s definitely out this spot is no longer under the radar. Most times I drive by, there’s already a line wrapped around, and on my latest visit, I waited about 30 minutes to get my food. That said, the tacos here are still bomb. The tortillas are freshly pressed, and they’ve got a huge selection of meats basically every cut you can think of. My go-tos are the carne asada, al pastor, cabeza, and extra crispy tripas. One of my favorite things to get is the corn tortilla quesadilla with crispy tripas so satisfying. Bonus: they take credit cards (with a small fee), which is a lifesaver when you’re not carrying cash. If you haven’t been yet, definitely swing by this not-so-secret gem in the SGV!"

"10/10 Best tacos I've had in a long time. I was recommend this spot by a local. I drove up and there was about seven people in line. I started chatting with someone asking them what they recommend I turned around and there was 18 people behind me. I was told this place always has a long line and I can see why. To start the smell was so good. I saw they had just finished making a salad and there was Al pastor being cooked up at the same time. I ordered a taco of al pastor and a burrito de asada. The food was delicious and they serve big portions compared to other taco stands. I tried all the salsa my favorite was the thick green almost Guacamole salsa and a bight orange salsa im assuming habanero. You must try the pickled cucumber slices they have a kick of jalapeño. Also the pickled red onions are very good. Burrito was $12 Taco alpastor was $2 Open until midnight. No tables or seating. Its a grab and go type of place. Parking is good but can get busy depending on the crowd. Cash preferred. They accept card +fee"

"Al pastor with the pineapples, that was the winner. Tacos are great and we saw the guy get a burrito after us and we all thought we should have gotten that, that thing looked amazing. It takes a bit to get your food though since the line is long, but this spot is worth the wait."

"This taco spot is absolutely Amazing, the workers are nice and chill. They have great prices and hand made corn tortillas. I think you should ignore the bad reviews because they are just acting like babies. Also I hands down think they are fair with their prices and portions"

"Secret Taco is really a not so secret spot. It’s located right off San Gabriel blvd with a ton of people visiting it. After finally giving it a try, this has become one of my new favorite taco stands. I went on a weekday right around 6 pm. While I was able to order right away, a form was definitely forming afterwards. This spot is more of a grab and go, because there’s no table to sit down. The service was fast though, as I got everything in less than 10 minutes. I got the Al pastor burrito with everything in it. This burrito was packed fully with beans, rice, Al pastor, and cheese. I always leave with one in my order. I also got the lengua and asada tacos. The asada was a bit drier this time, while the lengua was still good. This spot also has a salsa bar. I grabbed a bunch of topping and salsa while I was waiting for my order. Some of these are generally pretty spicer. Keep in mind they charge a fee for using credit cards. They also do not accept American Express."

"Omg, hands down the best tacos in the 626. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share from TJ Tacos to Tacos El Gordo in San Diego and even Taco El Franc. This spot is legit. The line every night says it all. This time, I ordered the baked potato with cheese and lengua (tongue). Absolute perfection. They serve it with handmade corn tortillas that take everything to another level. The meats here are packed with flavor. My usual go-tos are the al pastor, cabeza (cow’s head meat), and tripas (beef intestine). Next visit, I’m eyeing the sausages, stomach, and carne asada. And their salsa? To die for. It’s fresh, spicy, and ties everything together perfectly. The team here is friendly and clearly takes pride in what they do. You can taste the care in every bite. They’re parked right on San Gabriel Blvd with a solid setup. The ambiance is just right, and honestly, the only thing missing is some outdoor dining space. Parking is free and easy on the street."

"A friend recommended this place to me, and so far I can’t complain!! I specifically like the lengua, and I like how they cook it and slice it only when customers order. It doesn’t taste dry, but moist and chewy. I also like the fact that they clean the outer part of the tongue, because I know some places don’t do that. I also like their cheek, surprisingly! The carne, though, sometimes can be a bit dry, but still a good option to try. I only buy lengua and cheek, though, because these two are not stuff that I would cook myself at home. Each taco is $2.50 flat rate. You line up, tell them what you want, get your order, pay, then get all the condiments yourself (salsa, onion, cilantro, etc.). I also like seeing the worker slicing the pork from the turning grill and how they flick the pineapple with style to put it on top of the taco. Overall, it’s something you can enjoy when not craving a full meal."

"Tacos are good. Always go for the pastor. Condiments are plentiful. Only issues: single, small and thin tortillas used for tacos. They need to be double because they break easily. Secondly, the lady taking payments has an attitude. Lighten up."
