Second Time Visitor!Their Service was great! Along with the quality of their Food! Carne Asada was just the right amount of seasoning. And their Carnitas was even better! Located in a strip mall with lots of Parking Spaces.

My bf was born & raised in Carson so when we visited recently he was excited to return to his favorite taco spot and was happy it was just as good as he remembered. I was so impressed, we each got 3 tacos - al pastor, carne asada, & carnitas - each one was full of flavor & abundant with meat. I loved being able to use the condiment bar to get the right amount oftoppings I wanted - the housemade green sauce is the bomb. Hands down our favorite was the al pastor as its savory rich flavor cannot be beat, followed by the carne asada, then carnitas. The staff were so friendly & kind. We enjoyed the ambiance - clean, spacious, comfortable.

Walked in on a random day heading home from the beach. Very spacious environment, was not too crowded. Asked for recommendations from the cashier up front and boy was he prepared. Showed us pictures of everything both internally and externally. He recommended the South Bay Burrito and that was what we got(pastor & asada)-- did not disappoint at all. One of the best burritos I've had! Will definitely be back.

It's rather amusing that I worked about 10 minutes away from Top Shelf for 19 years and it wasn't until I retired a few years back that I finally made it here. I was across the street at Scottsdale quite often to visit the parents of "challenging" students but never realized a gastronomic paradise was waiting across the street. Man oh man, I had been missing out.I ordered the Al Pastor burrito wet and let me tell you, it was delicious. Not a huge burrito but a generous amount of food. The sauce was flavorful and I appreciated the fact it had just the right amount of salt unlike the majority of the other places I've frequented lately. It was the best burrito I've had in ages. My wife's protein bowl with shrimp met with her satisfaction and happily had a decent quantity of shrimp unlike many other Mexican restaurants we've gone to recently. I ordered the strawberries and cream dessert but was too full to eat it so it will have to wait until later.The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. No complaints about service whatsoever. The shopping center has more than enough parking so that isn't an issue. I'm not sure I would visit at night unless you feel safe going into an area with its fair share of troublemakers in the area after dark though. Top Shelf turned out to be just as advertised. I only wish I had tried them much further back in time. I would have made better use of the time I had when I was working in the area.

Top Shelf Tacos is located in a super random plaza in the middle of Carson suburbia, but the food is anything but random. It was delicious. I ordered the South Bay Burrito which is an adaptation of the California burrito with French fries. And it was juicy and super flavorful. I would highly recommend it to others. The staff there is super nice and it was a good experience. They have a salsa bar with onions, cilantro, and radishes. One of the best parts is that it's counter ordering and they don't put you through the awkward tipping process of other counter order restaurants. The lady took my credit card and zero's the tip portion and charged me for the meal. That right there is a winning statement for me, in an age where customers often feel obligated to tip. Big kudos to management here.

Go to spot for when were feeling like treating ourselves at work as it is on the pricier side for Mexican food. My go to is the protein plate, which is more expensive than a burrito lol (who said eating healthier is cheaper) good food, is the price justifiable? Hmmm ehh when it's pay day

This is based on my last 2 visits, I eat here a minimum of once a week since it's so close to my work. I requested no seasoning on my fries order and twice in a row, I got the seasoning - disappointing. Normally, they are great.

Went to get a wet burrito carne asada for lunch. It looked really good but upon eating, the quality of taste did not match the look of the food. I was also surprised chips were not included and that you had to pay extra for them. Not sure if Ill come back here again.

Spent 40 minutes here waiting for my order, kept letting the cashier know I've been here waiting as I see people just arrive and get there tacos before me. I was patient until I saw someone who ordered 30 tacos get there's before me. I asked for a refund and The lady who attended me was nice but I was disappointed with the experience overall and I don't really go out of my way to give bad reviews. Wasted my lunchtime here do not come on taco Tuesday.
