Garduno’s Taco King

ZERO STARS! Worse food ever purchased asada nachos and milanesa torta. Nachos!!! Super salty tasted as if they had been sitting all day. Beans from a can, just nasty! Milanesa torta nasty burned meat no taste. Will never be back to this place. And waited for our order for about 15 minutes. Food was nasty older lady in the window rude and had an attitude! So much for customer service!

This place has an amazing selection of American, Mexican and sea food. It’s a great place to
Grab a quick bite, a midnight bite or a breakfast bite during laundry time! I recommend the breakfast burrito with bacon and ham (no onions) or the egg sandwich! And the ladies are so sweet at the window!

Nooooooo they changed their freaken frijoles!!! Straight from the bote!!! It’s been a while since ive had gardunos! Too bad they suck now (bean & cheese burritos). The caldo de res is still good so is the fries. But they changed their beans!!!

Been going here for about two years now and this is one of the better late night eateries in Baldwin Park. There aren’t many fast food Mexican joints that I have been able to find ceviche that is resturant quality at fast food prices. The taco’s are incredible as well as their super com I burrito which is choice of meat. The staff is friendly and speak English which is a plus for me since I don’t speak Spanish. This is definitely a spot you want to try if you are in the area.

I’ve been coming here every now and then since I was like 5 years old, I hadn’t gone in a while, and decided to go today. I’ve gotten sick before from the sopes, but today was just horrible and sad to say I will not return to one of my childhood favorites. My fiancé and I ordered a chicken salad and chili cheese fries. The chicken still had fat on it and it tasted like fish and the lettuce was brown. As I turned to the fries in hopes of a better experience we found a huge ball of fat! Completely grossed us out. So sad. :/

They messed up our order twice, the meat was over cooked it was too crispy and tasted bad. The girl kept giving me attitude and rolled her eyes at me when i told her my order was wrong. I get that working in a fast food restaurant can be frustrating because I myself work in one and that is why i was polite when I told her that the order was done incorrectly.

This place is absolutely horrible from the service to the food everything is of poor quality. First off the girl at the window has the worst attitude. And you can tell she is miserable!
The guacamole is not guacamole its avocado watered down sauce that is extremely salty and has the bonus of having someone’s long human hair… For extra flavor I guess???
I spent $ 85 on nothing but horrible food!!!
I got four orders of carne Asada fries… Not one of them had carne Asada on them. And I don’t mean it was light carne Asada I mean there was literally NO carne Asada on any of them! Absolutely NONE!!! All of them were just beans and fries with cheese and avocado sauce… Because remember it’s not guacamole it’s freakin sauce. The tortas were Also poorly made!!! The plain carne Asada taco I got was mostly fat and the chill that wanted it refused to eat it because «it was gross». Now here comes the shocking part… The quesadilla was even horrible!!! Yes you think that quesadillas couldn’t possibly be horrible being that they are only tortilla and cheese!!! But let me tell you it’s a square quesadilla that seemed like it was microwaved instead of cooked on a stove or grill. So the tortilla was extra hard. The chips that were 6.99 for a large bag were extremely stale and inedible like the rest of the food that was purchased here. I would never recommend this place to anyone!!! I am not even sure how they are in business!!!

I had me the all meat burrito with carne asada, and the california burrito with shredded chicken. Both stuffed to the brim with meat and fixin’s. A real tasty treat from a place that doesn’t look like much. You can get everything from tacos to burritos to burgers, fries, hot dogs, you name it.

Some people really bash this place. I mean I see where they’re coming from, its really ghetto and you just can’t help but to think of unsanitary cooking conditions when you look around (cracked walls, chipped tables, tagging on tables etc) but this place is actually pretty Darn good. Been having the burritos and hamburger combos from this place for about 15 years, ever since I was a kid. That’s one of the reasons this place has a special place in my heart

Been coming here for their plates and burritos for the past 10+ years. Still delicious and filling as before. This place is open 2 hours, so come when you need to eat or when you are craving food! I’m now trying to show the boyfriend something new and things that I love just so he can get to my level of ginger and need for flavor be variety. My foodie adventures will now include him in it ²⁴⁄₇! I’m writing this review right outside waiting for his asada and al pastor burrito.
Total for the al pastor was about $ 5.11 with tax
Pastor was all worth it.

I love the food here, it is so bomb, they are pretty generous with the portions! They are open 24 hours so u can have the #8 anytime u want! This place definitely gets 5 stars

Don’t even know where to start … SMH! Worst place I’ve ever been to! I got myself juevos rancheros, tasteless! I got 2 chicken tacos for my daughter, the tortilla was totally uncooked. The chicken was just ok. We were sitting inside N there was fly’s everywhere ;(My little one even asked to leave. N to top it off bad service. Will I be back again? NEVER!!!

Love this place!!! Must try their super combo burrito!!! But it has to be during the day because night time cooks arnt as element with their cooking and daytime cooks have better tasting food

Love their bean and cheese burritos! Their beans are very good! I even buy them to make sopes or tostadas at home. My husband loves their shrimp burritos, pastor torta and menudo. I recommend to call in your order then pick up.

This place is so gross!!! I ordered menudo and it was undercooked! The soda was flat, and costumer service was bad! I wouldn’t go there again!

Boyfriend got the Hard Taco Combo that comes with 2 hard tacos, rice, beans, and a «salad.»
Tacos– 3.5÷5
Rice– ²⁄₅
Beans — ³⁄₅
Salad — very small amount on a small paper platter — ¹⁄₅

With three locations in the Southern California area, I have to remark that this is to Me the absolute best in Mexican food.
My favorite to order here is always the ‘wet’ King Burrito {Chili Relleno or Machaca}, which just means that they cover the foot-​long burrito in a plethora of sauce and cheese, and bring it to the table; although they do not prepare ‘wet’ King Burritos to go, just ordinary ones, for it would be far too messy in the car; I have been frequenting this establishment for several years, ever since I initially discovered this culinary treasure which was only a block down the street from the former Noctuary, where, always in the wee hours from between midnight and 5 am, I would enjoy a meal with a companion, and other times, just order their bag of chips special, which consisted of a large bag of tortilla chips with many little containers of their unique and irreplaceable salsa, and enjoy a movie or My «Satan tape», which consists of Speak of The Devil, Satanis, Exposing Satan’s Underground, with various interviews with Satanists through the talk-​show circuit. including Magister Rex Diabolos Church on The Montel Williams Show, Karla LaVey on the Ron Reagan Show, «un-​daughter» Zeena {then-​LaVey} on a morning show, Sgt. Randy Emon on Pace Setters and Inside Edition {featuring artwork and anecdotal relations by and about yours cruelly}, and others. And there were many instances when I just felt like an ice-​cold strawberry-​vanilla shake at 3 in the darkness.
Also available on the menu if you are so inclined, are «cessos» {brains}, «lengua» {tongue}, and a variation of «tripas» {intestines, usually prepared with menudo, which I also call «gut-​soup”}. Experiencing Garduno’s is like immersing oneself in the ancient Aztec Indian culture and subsequent Spanish integration.

My Grandparents took me to this location as a kid when it was an A&W Root Beer stand in the 1960s. I believe that it has been Garduno’s Taco King since the mid-​1970s.
Now that I live in Baldwin Park, my wife recommended this for the Menudo. That is what I order here. I had the nachos and a Carne Asada burrito a couple of times, but I return for the Menudo.

I came here the other night, and I loved it.
Service was fast, and the cashier was very helpful when it came to ordering.
Food was delicious. My all beef lenguas burrito really hit the spot, and it was so bomb dot com! My friend got the nachos, and they were huge… which was totally worth it. Top it off, the first refill for horchata was FREE!
The interior wasn’t too impressive, but this is BP and not Beverly Hills.
The pricing was decent. A tad high, but the food quality was exceptional. I will totally be coming back, considering this place is 24 hours!
High lights:
— delicious all beef burrito
— good service
— open 24 hours
— accept credit cards
Low lights:
— location
— a tad pricy

Ok, so I must premise this review by saying this place has sentimental value to me as I grew up near this place. I’d come here all the time as I was growing up.
Now, the place itself is a little left to be desired. So every time we’d come here or if I needed food, I’d call ahead and pick it up.
There’s an array of mexican food including tortas, tacos, burritos and combination plates. There’s also burgers, fries, chili cheese fries (one of my favs!) and nachos. I don’t think there’s anything healthy here, so don’t expect that either.
I’d always order the chorizo breakfast burrito which I loved! Love the amount of chorizo they gave as some places are skimpy. I love their chili cheese fries and nachos, they definitely didn’t skimp on the chili or cheese! YUM!!! I also loved their hard shell tacos which come with chips and salsa!
As mentioned place itself is little left to be desired and who knows the kitchen doesn’t look super clean, but the food is good — that is if you’d like greasy Mexican food!
Not going to lie, when I come home to visit, I look forward to this place when I want greasy, fattening Mexican food or chili cheese fries (mmm).
