Tacos El May

If there was a definition for hidden gem, it would be Tacos El May. I took a group of my friends on a Friday night around 10pm, and they had a pretty large line but it was moving super quick. They had an efficient system going and everything was ready super fast!Food (5/5): We got the Al pastor tacos and mulitas and both were incredibly flavorful and packed with meat. These are the most bang for your buck since tacos are only $2 and mulitas were only $3! I think Al pastor was their most popular meat. After you order you can customize your tacos with onions, veggies, and salsa. The worker behind the table will help you make a Togo bag if you're not enjoying them there!Service (5/5): Super friendly and fast. They spoke both English and Spanish and even had Vietnamese translations on their menu. They only take cash or Zelle. Ambiance (4/5): It's your classic side of the road tacos next to a bank parking lot. They have one table with 5 or so chairs and string lights. We still thoroughly enjoyed our tacos while standing and I wouldn't have wanted anything else!

Truck parked next BofA. Long line but moves fairly quickly. Ordered a variety of tacos and all were delicious. Love the condiments and salsas.

-Located between bolsa and magnolia -Next to the Bank of AmericaTacos were only $2 each! Super affordable! We arrived right when they open at 630pm and there was already a line formed. We were 4th in line and waited about 10-15 mins. This was due to the workers setting up and cooking up all that protein! We tried the carne asada, al pastor, cabeza and tripa! The carne asada tasted like your standard asada. The Al pastor was a little dry but with the avocado sauce and hot sauce added, it made up for it. Our favorite was the cabeza and the tripa! we weren't going to order it at first but saw others ordered it so we gave it a try. I'm so glad we did because It Literally melted in our mouth.

SOOOOO SO GOOD! The best tacos I've ever had in my life!! Went here when I wasn't even hungry and tried the tripas and al pastor.... you put your own sauces and toppings on BUT WOW!!! So much meat and so so good!!! We contemplated to get more and so we did! I'm so sad I didn't see this place sooner during my stay in California. Definitely will be back when I'm in Cali! Only $2 per taco!!! Can't beat that! Friendly service. Easy to find parking.

The al pastor was cooked perfectly. So good. The only downside is wanting it again the next day.

I've lost track of how many times I've been here but it hits every time!!! My only complaint is it seems like they have less habaneros in their pickled red onion mix... probably because it was too spicy for some of the customers. Otherwise, service is still quick and efficient! They have a system down to get the customers their food fast!

Solid taco stand with an amazing $1 taco Tuesday deal!I love the Vietnamese translation for the meats (we're in the ABC supermarket plaza). The line most pretty quickly but it seemed like everyone and their mother (my mom included) was there on this Tuesday night. I don't blame them though- this is the best taco Tuesday deal I've seen in my area. Since it was so busy. They have meats on hand to make tacos and are constantly grilling more meats. I ordered enough al pastor, asada, and lengua tacos for my 7 person group. Everyone loved the asada and lengua but the al pastor was a bit dry. It's okay though since there was plenty of sauces add. Shoutout to their staff for their salsa bar-plentiful and well stocked. Be careful of the one with the orange chili tho- that was dangerously spicy (I eat spicy I promise). The cheese quesadilla was loaded with quality cheese- I might ask for some in my tacos next time hahaNote: lots of parking but there's only one table(that I luckily got) but it's a vibe with everyone eating at on top of their car trunk

I have found my new taco spot! The tacos were $2 each, which surprisingly is difficult to find in this economy, and the workers were so nice and generous with their meat servings! I tried their carne asada, al pastor, and lengua--all were well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. We also got a mixed burrito, which was hefty as well. I liked that we could pile on condiments ourselves before they wrapped it up. The red, green, and avocado sauces were all very good--that is also the order of decreasing spice level. This taco stand is located in the ABC supermarket plaza on Bolsa and Magnolia, which I pass by often, so I am surprised that I have not discovered it until now. Because it is located in a plaza, there are plenty of parking spaces available. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Great spot for quick, late-night tacos. $2 each! With a long line of customers buzzing with energy and meaty aromas wafting in every direction, it's hard to not be excited or hungry! Meat came straight off the spit and grill, steaming hot and glistening. Workers generously packed on the meat! Everyone went wild with the self-serve salsas and veggies. (A mouthful of their pickled red onions with serano and habanero peppers gave me a solid burn for a good minute. Milk did not save me from tears and panting lool.)We rushed back to the parking lot to eat on the car trunk. Among their al pastor, suadero, and asada tacos, suadero was our favorite for the best texture and flavor. I love that their menu comes in 3 languages - such a thoughtful and inclusive touch for the locals!

Located in the same lot right next to the Bank of America. Maybe I came on an off day (I hope I did).They were supposed to open at 6:30pm, I got there around 6:40 and they weren't ready till about 7pm.I saw them putting carne asada and meat on the grill that looked like it was pre-cooked already. I also noticed they were using plastic bags to cover hot meat that has been cooked (Should use foil, plastic probably isn't the safest option...).I tried some different meats, carne asada, tripas, and al pastor. The carne asada was decent, but little flavor, the tripas was very gamey, and the al pastor is probably the best option. I do like the rotating al pastor and how they cut it and throw it on the grill. I also got Al pastor nachos and that was pretty good. I also really liked their salsa options, super spicy red sauce and enjoyed their guac sauce!Prices aren't too bad either, $2 per taco, $10 a burrito. Overall, I had pretty high expectations with the 5 star ratings on Yelp, but from what I saw and tasted, I would only come back for the pastor.
