Use to be a die hard fan of this place no longer am I. I don’t understand what happened to the food. Maybe different owner’s not sure. The food is no longer spicy or hot. They offer hot sauce for an extra price but it’s not hot either. I don’t recommend this place to anyone it is not worth it at all.

It’s a really good Taco. I got the OG Taco, added avocado with ground turkey meet super delicious. Fries had seasoned salt which is always good. The wait is a bit long. So maybe call in your order.

I moved to compton 5 years ago and have always seen taco petes. Always had a big crowd on the corner, but i could never get there, lol. So when they moved next to Fat Burger, i was happy. I was able to get in there yesterday. I only ordered 3 ground beef tacos. I dont see the hype. It wasn’t good to me. Meat had a kick to it, and i didn’t have hot sauce on it. Was very disappointed. The online menu is different from the menu board in the store.

Delicious homemade ground beef & chicken tacos. The taco shells are cooked to perfection…slightly soft, slightly crispy. That’s why they’re famous!

Horrible service. Taco full of grease and hot sauce. Call in order will be taken but they don’t cook until you get there and pay and then you have to wait as if you didn’t call in an order. Complained about my taco the manger told me just come get another one it’s not that serious. What? Right not serious enough to come back! But serious enough to write this review!!!

Service and location were flawless. Only critique is the seasoning of the turkey tacos. More seasoning and you’ll have a home run in my book. Overall would definitely recommend giving it a try.
