CDMX STREET FOOD REVIEWS

This place is my absolute go to. My friends and I come here after class whenever we can and it never disappoints. It truly is some of the best tacos I've ever had coming from a San Diego native and it is a true hidden gem. The owners are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Check this place out before they go viral!! My venmo transaction history is full of this taco truck.

Rodolfo & Julia are incredible and have the sweetest partnership!! Their tacos are delicious and truly leave you craving more. The Al Pastor & Mushroom tacos were our favorites! And that green salsa is the spiciest most delicious one I’ve had in a while. Definitely a secret weapon. Thank you for an incredible night of food!.

Really authentic and delicious food, so glad we stumbled upon this truck during our time in LA! They came out to our hotel during a conference last minute, so accommodating and such pleasant staff. Thank you!.

ELYS TACOS REVIEWS

The bear street taco truck I've ever been to. The chicken, Al pastor and chorizo were my favorite. The food was so good I had 7 tacos. Ordered more chicken tacos because those were my favorite and I don't normally like chicken tacos. Thanks!.

This is the spot. You won’t regret it—well if you’re a taco connoisseur/snob—then maybe. But me, I like fresh burritos and tacos with a healthy side of salsa and the whole bunch—and this place hits.

Best tacos in Costa Mesa ! Always taste good! & always made fresh.

TACOS EL COMPITA REVIEWS

Best tacos in the area! Only real and authentic taco truck in Costa Mesa! The people here are nice and really care for their customers. They make an effort to buy great quality products for their foods and have a large variety to offer from: Tacos, tortas, sopes, huaraches, muletas, elotes, tostilocos, chicharrónes, y más! Worth taking a trip here, check it out!!.

I’ve eaten at a ton of taquerias and taco trucks and El Compita is tops! Quality food, fair prices, super friendly owners, flavorful salsas. Meat isn’t super fatty and cheap tasting. Got asada, al pastor, and cecina tacos and an asada burrito. All great. Definitely a place to return to.

Excellent Tacos, just the right size and amount of spice.
