Taqueria El Tapatio

Terrible Service. I didn’t even get to taste the food. I didn’t even get acknowledged at the window. The guy ahead of me ordered and then the window guy walked away with out saying a word he defiantly saw me … I stood there for at least 10 minutes and I get it y’all busy but come on how about a «Be with you in a bit» I eventually walked away … Good thing too because there was a bunch of loud teenagers sitting at the tables who were not eating just being loud, I over heard a senior citizen talking about how he felt uncomfortable and wanted to take his food home … I will not attempt to return to this spot.

Hidden Glendale gem. They serve cheese tacos– a slice of American cheese in between the two tortillas. it’s like cream cheese in sushi rolls; you either love it or you hate it.
But they exist!

Not sure what happend but they FAILED big time on us today. The lady who took our order had a «done with this job» attitude. And our food had little to no flavor I had nachos and I could’ve put every salsa or spice in the world and it would’ve not made a difference!!! My husband and daughter both had a torta my husband said his was a smaller portion that before and was very bland & my daughter and hurt her molar after she bit into something hard in her torta!!! So in conclusion the food lacked flavor and the cashier in all lacked all elements in being a successful cashier has!!! After being usual customers we will not be returning… oh and one last thing to the cooks try going to CASITA TACOS AL CARBON in Burbank and order some nachos. these are REAL NACHOS!

Get the lengua! I don’t normally get lengua but it’s seriously the best I’ve ever had. It usually has a spongy texture to it, but here it doesn’t. It has a Barbacoa consistency to it and it’s amazing. Officially my favorite place to get lengua anything.

OMG their food is delicious me and my husband always get our late night food from here. Their chicken quesedilla is the bomb and the pastor tacos are a must

This is the way Mexican food should taste! Can get busy at peak times ! I really love this place! I highly recommended in this place 100% +A

This is the torta spot around here, I get al pastor, and when feeling extra hungry I add 2 tacos de carne asada and I’m set. I usually do the tacos without cheese but when this is first time you have heard of having as an option should try them out. My friends usually gets a burrito cause to him this is the burrito spot. Basically you are good either way.

The best chicken quesadilla in town. The chicken is juicy and flavorful. Bonus! The quesadilla is huuuge and you can share it with someone! It’s $ 6 and goes a long way. Can’t get enough.

This place is so bomb! I never have cash on me so I never bothered to eat here since it’s cash only lol, but when my cousins kept raving about it I just had to try it. I’ve only gotten the burritos bc they’re so good that I don’t wanna try anything else lol. My boyfriend gets the plain quesadilla which looks good and is HUGE and a carne Asada burrito which is also delicious. My go to is the Al pastor burrito– which is bomb in all kinds of ways and I wash it down with a yummy horchata. Don’t forget to ask for the salted and fire roasted jalapeños too, they really compliment the burrito.

Awesome Street tacos. I tried nearly one of each and was very pleased with each taco. The salsa, cilantro, and onions were all fresh. The service was quick and friendly.
I was not a fan of how they do the cheese for the tacos. They out a piece of cheese between the two tortillas. Personally this was not my favorite, but the people I was with enjoyed it.

Cash only place. Super bomb tacos and burritos. Red salsa for the win. Best place to hit up late on a weekend.
Parking is a little bit of a pain once in a while, but it gets solved quickly.

— Open late at night
— Tacos are great!
— Outdoor seating
— Vegetarian Menu
Everything you need from a quick stop Mexican spot! Definitely a go-​to when in the area.

Hole in the wall place. Drive quick and you will miss it. Not the typical kind of place I would eat or even try however one random day I was forced to by my wonderful lovely coworkers and boom… I’m in love! Its true when they say don’t judge a book by its cover. Those tacos with cheese and their cheesy quesadilla. Love it.

They have one of my favorite BREAKFAST BURRITOS. The chorizo con huevo burrito comes with rice, beans, cheese, onions and cilantro. The cheese is exceptionally gooey in this one and the chorizo is well blended with the eggs. It’s a walk up to order/​pay/​pickup kind of place with seating out front and on the side. I usually just park on the street. The only downside is that they open late in the morning.

Cash Cash Cash Only. $ 10 will get you a sizeable meal. $ 5 can get ya a couple tacos and a small agua fresca (yes, they have horchata AND Jamaica!!!).
I had a cheeseburger, skipped the fries (too expensive for my standards) and tried the taco, street style with soft corn tortilla, beef and cilantro/​onion drizzled with green salsa. Not impressed at all with the taco although I suppose it would be «to die for» after a late night of drinks. Cheeseburger was typical quality of taco places. IMHO, superb. I wouldn’t challenge it with a sit-​down restaurant burger, nor In-​N-​Out, but definitely a good charbroiler. Melted cheese on Patty with sesame seed buns toasted with a spread of French dressing.
Although not my cup of tea, their menu did have a couple vegetarian options which I’m sure is appreciated by the diverse community here. Not sure if they’re GMO, gluten free, Kosher though. Given their reasonable prices though, doubt it.

Went here for some midnight munchies. The burritos are not huge but they were very flavorful and hit the right spot, the price of $ 5 wasn’t bad. I ordered the Pastor burrito, next time I want to try their nachos.

Great spot open late.
I took everyone’s suggestion and got the tacos with cheese. Meh! Just get the tacos how there suppose to be! Meat onion and salsa. I prefer the al pastor here. It’s always on point. Would of gotten 5 stars but they have porta pottys and cash only.
So this is my spot and eat here 3x week by far the best Tacos in Glendale and in my top 3 fav place for street tacos. The Asada and Pastor Tacos is what you need to get. TIP’ get the carrots and extra of the green salsa!

Amazing tacos! I ordered a few tacos with a friend, but it wasn’t long until we got in line again to try the cheese tacos. BEST DECISION EVER! Great chicken, carne asada, but for me the al pastor is where it’s at! So happy to have found this gem. Great service too!
Excited to try more! (than just the tacos).

Street tacos. We’ve all had them. From blah to great. From dried out to warm and juicy. I thought we were just headed to a pre happy hour carb intake that would be the street taco norm. And then, Kraft cheese. What am I talking about? Let me lay it out for you. Tortilla on the flat top, a single slice of American cheese fresh out of its individual wrapper, another tortilla, and meat. Not just any meat, the warm and juicy helping that you hope for when out in search of tacos.
I got asada and carnitas. Wouldn’t hesitate to order either again but the asada with the grilled cheese was pretty darn tasty. Look at the pic so you can envision that first bite. That perfect taste of warm tortilla, gooey cheese, juicy meat, and hot sauce. Muy bueno. I also got a bean burrito which was nothing special and for 3 bucks it didn’t have to be. Dry tortilla, healthy serving of beans, and what do you know, Kraft cheese.
The place was busy from the minute we got there. Parking can be a problem. We parked on the street a few blocks up. It definitely has a local following. Being a first timer, I assumed the Tapatio on the counter was the only option for sauce, so I grabbed it and sat down. That was until I heard people asking for handmade red and green sauce that appeared from inside. Be sure to ask for it. I did see the pico de gallo in the kitchen and asked for some and got a bowl full of it.
The neighborhood is kinda seedy. We went for lunch and the collection of fellow diners hit the full spectrum. Right up our alley but just a heads up.

Good stuff! I use to go here but since we don’t ha. In Glendale this far from my place and many other places to try.
I ordered asada burrito, asada Nacho, two carnita taco, two asada taco, bean and rice, fries. Everything was good but the nacho. Good price but the chips was soggy. No crunch factor. Cooked well and warm.
Staff is friendly. Parking on street or a small parking lot.
