The best hard shell tacos in the whole world? That's a bold claim, but I'm excited to dive in. According to a Mashed survey, the top pick for hard shell tacos is Old El Paso, with almost 40% of the vote ¹. Their crunchy taco shells are a classic choice for a reason.If you're looking for a recipe to make your own hard shell tacos, I've got you covered. A simple recipe from Isabel Eats uses store-bought hard taco shells and fills them with seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes ². You can customize with your favorite toppings, from shredded lettuce to salsa.Other popular brands for hard shell tacos include Taco Bell, Ortega, and Mission ¹. But let's be real, the best hard shell tacos are the ones made with love and filled with your favorite ingredients.The Green Chile

I had an incredible dining experience at The Green Chile! I ordered the shredded beef quesadilla, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked with tender, flavorful beef and crispy tortillas. One of the standout items was the green salsa; it was so good, I'm kicking myself for not asking if they sell it to go! I'll definitely be back for more.The restaurant itself is clean, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Plus, there's ample parking, which is always a bonus. Highly recommend!

Met my BFF here for lunch today. We both love Navajo tacos and wanted to try them. I got the pork green chile, and she got the beef red chile. Both were really good. The complimentary chips and salsa were also good. I want to go back and try other items on the menu. I love hatch green chiles, and many of the items on their menu contain these chiles. The service was excellent! Can't wait to go back!

We are regulars here, and especially love coming in for dinner and lunch. But for some reason we had never stopped in for breakfast. We decided to finally try their breakfast menu and I was not at all disappointed. We came on a weekend and were seated immediately. They are always on top of the service and today was no exception. I had the chorizo hash and it was sooooo good! It was like a giant flavorful scramble with thick chunks of potatoes, black beans, corn, green chili, chorizo, eggs and topped with a very generous portion of cheese. This place just got thrown into the mix of local breakfast places and we will definitely be back soon!

You'd be hard pressed to find New Mexico style cuisine in California, especially a family-owned place that touts its homestyle cooking! The Green Chile is in a low-key plaza near a busy intersection. We came on a weekend for an early dinner and aside from a couple other tables, it wasn't super busy. Service was warm and welcoming, and we got tortilla chips with green and red salsa as a complimentary starter. Simple, delicious, and addicting. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Navajo Tacos: -A MUST if you're getting into New Mexican/Southwestern US dishes. -It's deep-fried flat bread that's deliciously crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. -On top was a generous portion of bean, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pork, green chile, and chipotle ranch dressing. -I love "junky food" and Mexican food, and this is the best of both worlds. Just think of the Mexican pizza at Taco Bell but an upscale, Michelin star version. Indulgent and delicious. 2) Sopapilla:-Another MUST for New Mexican/Southwestern US cuisine. -This is a savory fried pastry that's, once again, deep fried. It puffs up, and is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. -There's several different options but I opted for the ground beef and potato filling. Regardless of what filling you get, it also comes with bean and cheese. I got the red salsa on top. -This is a MASSIVE dish. It's the size of one of those Nerf foam footballs. Definitely enough to fill you up or if you need to share. -Again, one of those "junky" type food dishes that probably aren't the best for you, but taste so good. -Think of this as a pate chaud mix with a meat bean and cheese burrito Hot Pocket. 3) Pumpkin Sopapilla: -I am a SUCKER for pumpkin themed dishes and especially desserts, for them to have this year round is AMAZING. -This dessert version of their sopapilla is filled with pumpkin, think like a pumpkin pie, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with dulce de leche and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If I'm ever craving these dishes again, I'll stop by again for sure.

The Food here is delicious and straight out of the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico). Their posole is unlike any I have ever tasted you must get it with Sopapillas on the side. On second thought just go ahead and get sopapillas no matter what you order. They have Navajo tacos as well. Service was great and with a smile. The decor inside is beautiful with native art, New Mexico License plates and other New Mexico decor all over the walls.

August 11 decided to try a new Mexican restaurant , small place but very family like excellent customer service really nice decor. They do have a couple of TVs watch the Olympics couldn't decide so I had a shredded beef taco and an order of taquitos which come with guacamole, lettuce, and tomato, the food was delicious. I haven't tasted this delicious of Mexican food and the Whittier La Habra area and quite a while.the la Habra area isince cilantro tacos went out of business. I highly recommend the green chili. It was delicious. Excellent customer service by the ladies and the food was great hats off to the chef. If you're looking for excellent authentic Mexican food with grape flavor, I highly recommend this restaurant. The chips and salsa that they provide you are fresh warm and very tasty. Not too salty which I enjoy the salsa. They serve with it just a little bit of a kick, but just enough to be delicious it taste homemade Definitely will be back Enjoy.
