Drive too fast down Florida Avenue and you’ll miss it. Tucked near the WinCo is Tacos Los Polomos, a low key spot serving seriously good Oaxacan style Mexicannfoor via LA.

I stopped in on a Sunday night after catching the sign out of the corner of my eye at highway speed. Inside, the place is bright, clean, and surprisingly spacious. A large faux tree stands in the center like an indoor plaza, Valentine’s decorations hanging from the branches. To the left is a spotless open kitchen you can see from the counter, always a reassuring sign. No giant wall menu, just a paper one handed over when you order. Humble, slightly chaotic, and promising.

My wife spotted the papas rellena immediately, basically a loaded baked potato split open and filled with carne asada, sour cream, cheese, avocado, onions, and cilantro. It was huge and legitimately excellent. The steak came in big, tender chunks, not chopped scraps, and even the leftovers the next day held up.
I ordered a pastor burrito and two carne asada tacos. Before sitting down, the cashier pointed out a small self serve bar with fruit, cucumbers, and toppings. That detail turned out to be important.

The tacos were straightforward and flavorful. I added onion, cilantro, green salsa to one and red to the other. The green had a solid kick and real flavor. The red was on another level. Dark, intense, and very easy to overdo. Within seconds I was sweating, tearing up, and reaching for sliced cucumbers like they were emergency equipment. Painful, yes, but the kind of heat that wakes you up and clears your sinuses completely.

Drinks are exactly what you want in a place like this. Behind the counter sit large clear containers of aguas frescas in bright colors, the kind you end up pointing at because they all look good. Watermelon, cantaloupe, sometimes horchata depending on the day. Cold, lightly sweet, and genuinely refreshing. There are also glass bottles of Mexican Coke, Jarritos in loud fruit flavors, and assorted canned drinks. The clink of glass bottles, the pop of a can and condensation running down the sides just adds to the feeling that you found a real neighborhood spot, not a chain pretending to be one.

Then came the pastor.

Pastor is the lie detector of a taqueria. Most places serve something greasy, overly sweet, or burnt and call it good. This was not that. This was the kind of pastor that makes you stop mid bite and just stare at the taco. Crispy caramelized edges, impossibly tender interior, smoke and spice wrapped around a sweetness that tastes built in, not added later. The pineapple isn’t just thrown on top, it’s cooked into the meat so every bite hits savory, sweet, and char at once.

You don’t talk while eating something like this. You just nod, maybe close your eyes for a second, because your brain is recalibrating what good pastor is supposed to be. I’ve had pastor all over Southern California, from late night trucks to busy taquerias with lines out the door, and this belongs in that conversation near the top.
I barely remember the beans and rice. They were there, probably fine, but completely overshadowed.

SoCal has no shortage of interchangeable “-bertos” spots, drive thru temples of beige burritos and forgettable food. This is not one of them. It feels like a slice of a good LA neighborhood taqueria dropped into Hemet.

It’s about 30 minutes from my house. Inconvenient… Absolutely worth the drive.
If you go, get the pastor and don’t skip the papas rellena.

This is a review for my wife who is Mexican. She ordered 2 tortas. Not something I usually get, but I trust her opinion. They were expensive at $14 each, I think she ordered online for pickup which is probably why they were more expensive. She waited for 25 minutes and they were still not ready. The complaint was the meat was wet and the cheese tasted like american cheese. No avocado, no refried beans, no salsa. My opinion judging by the looks of it, the cheese was probably a queso type cheese that melts quite easily. As far as the meat. This is something that I have given Alberto’s a scathing review for. There is nothing wrong with keeping your meat in a steam table, but you better not throw that meat straight onto a plate. If you take it from the pan to the grill, you better burn off that water and allow the grill to do it’s job. You give me flavorless meat that tastes steamed, I will never come back. I have been there before for Taco Tuesday and for $1 they were okay. Would I crave their tacos on any other day? No. There are many taco places in the area that are much better. Next time, my wife will drive further to La Cabana.

The place is nicely decorated but the Food is just not very good. Lacks seasoning. I had a blando chicken gordita. They advertize al pastor meat and they didn’t have any. My son had chicken mole plate, he said it was ok but the portion was bit too small.

Delicious tacos and great friendly service, the aguas frescas are on point also. Prices are very reasonable and they have a good taco Tuesday deal. Will be back soon to try out a tlayuda.

Excellent tacos. Excellent tortas. Really good prices! Keep the prices low & I’ll continue to go. ‍ it’s always packed on Tuesday and their tacos seem to be fresh made tortillas yummmy. I’ve also tried the tortas and they are quite delicious

Honestly for all the high people make it sound like it is this restaurant really wasn’t it the service was kind of slow they didn’t have any of the items that we requested and to top it off the beans tasted old the rice tasted old and for three people 78 dollars is kind of excessive for 2 sopes 3 tacos and a baked potato

The place is nice. However it feels unorganized. The menu is way off the side. They should just mount the TV. The random storage racks showing. I think this taco shop would have been better in a smaller location This location would be best for a restaurant style. Unless it was busier like Taqueria 2 Portillos. Anyways wish them all the best.

Talk about tasty food! Please come here and try it. We had a papa relleno (stuffed baked potato) but it’s smashed down on a skillet so you get fried parts with a layer of gooey fried cheese and choice of meat.

We also had an alambre which is like a skillet with meat, fried layer of cheese and veggies. Meat was super thin cut with the skillet giving you crispy bits everywhere!

You can mix and match meats with is awesome carne asada with al pastor was our favorite!

The salsa is salsa bar style so pick what you want. There are various levels of heat and yummy goodness. Red/green/ guaca salsa/ pickled habanero onions/ nopal salsa/ juicy fresh limes.

There is menudo all week and can pick and choose how you want it. Hominy/ no hominy/ meats etc.

$1 taco Tuesday you know we are coming back for that!

Also Wednesday burrito $9 special.

Sorry no pics we destroyed the food when it was served.
