Taco Nazo

Went here for an event but got to taste their well known fish taco…and all I can say is “where the heck have I been???” I drove by this place many time and not noticed til now. They have the restaurant and the drive through/window stand right next to each other…it’s packed most of time for the stand. The restaurant is big, spacious with simple but well decor but got that favor of Mexico heritage feeling onto it. The service is top notch, the foods are just delish and well make - I would recommend the fish and the shrimp but the others are also fantastic too. The fish and the shrimp are moist and well seasoned. The whole taco is well assembled and you can see it as it makes right in front of you. The staff are just friendly and lovely and top notch service. You just feel like being spoiled. Parking can be tough, they do have packed parking lot most of the time but there are street parkings so…good luck.

Oh, how I love my fried fish tacos. Crispy, golden batter, soft flaky (non-fishy) fish, fresh toppings, and some good salsa. If that sounds good to you, Taco Nazo is the place to go. I first tried Taco Nazo years ago, as leftovers from my brother. Even as leftovers, I loved it. Very soon after, I tried it fresh and it just solidified my love of this place. But the great thing about this place is that their fish tacos are great, but so are their shrimp tacos, and Al Pastor, Carne Asada, etc. I would never think to order Potato tacos, but I tried them here, and surprisingly, I liked those too. Not as good as the fish tacos, but it's awesome that they have a vegetarian option. Yeah, so you get it. I love this place. They have a selection of salsas, to personalize your tacos. They also have aqua frescas and a little something that was shared with me is, ask for a mix of pineapple, watermelon, and jamaica, and you get a fruit-punch-esque drink that is delicious. It was recommended by none other than THE Omar, so for me, I dub it "The Omar." Taco Nazo, if you read this, it needs to be listed as that on the menu. With food prices rising so much these days, one thing about this place is that their portion size is good. 2 tacos don't often fill me up, but here, 2 tacos are good. As for the service, they hustle. They are quick, efficient, and nice. For me, customer service goes a long way, so it's just icing on the cake to the great food served here. They do have on site parking, but it is a bit limited. I can see it being an issue at times. For this location, they have 2 buildings. One is to sit and dine in, and the other is "express" for to-go orders. The restaurant is a good size and is bigger than it looks from the outside. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

This review is for the express area. The staff is friendly and on point with the orders. The food is delicious and must try the fish and shrimp tacos. Red salsa and yellow chilis are fire and definitely coming back. Downside would be parking but have will to wait patiently for openings. Express area doesn't take cash. 1/17 8pm

Omg this was possibly the best food and experience I’ve had ever had in my life! Ok so first things first when you first walk in you are greeted and informed on the menu. I love that every one is so friendly and helpful from the start. I was also provided with a free fish taco as a sample once I told the guy who greeted me I was from VA and found this restaurant on TikTok. Once we ordered our food by the time we sat down our food was at the table !! OMG it was sooo good. The shrimp ceviche, fish tacos and fresh pinapple Fresca was amazing! Total 10 of 10 highly recommend!

This is a California institution for authentic Baja style tacos, specializing in fish and shrimp tacos. The staff is super friendly and genuinely helpful. We've been coming here for years, the vibe is fun, cheerful and always leave us with smiles and satisfaction. There are 2 separate buildings on the property, Taco Nazo Express is for online and take-out orders. However, dining-in at the main restaurant is quite an experience. There's a parking attendant to help direct traffic and keep the safety of the vehicles. You'll be greeted by staff as you line up to see if you need help placing an order. I have my usual 2 fish and 2 shrimp tacos. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. There are constantly 3-4 staff bussing the tables & cleaning the floor, regularly checking if you need anything, just to notch service all around.

Pretty impressed with the layout of this Taco Nazo. Had a sit down and take out only shops with plenty of parking. Parking attendant as well. It’s card only at the take out side, so heads up. Food order came out quickly for take out and packed really well. Food was delicious, but thought the ceviche was a bit pricy for what you get. Maybe it seems like more on a tostada, but in the to go container seemed like a small portion for the price. The shrimp taco and tacos dorados were pretty good as well. Will have to try the online order next time.

This is my favorite and the BEST Mexican lunch spot in Downey. I love the tostaditos!! The al pastor is well seasoned and tender. The tostados are good enough to stand alone. Free refills on the aquas! Come on now! But they are known for the fish tacos and I'm not a big fan of fish tacos, but I'd order their's. Beer battered crispy fish! Another could stand alone treat. And the customer service is the BEST in California! I could say more but I think you get that I love this place. More than highly recommend, this is a MUST GO! Thank me later!

My coworker had been here and I’ve loved their fish tacos from another chain. This was a huge surprise when I stepped inside. I had no idea how huge it was inside, the food was incredible. I had their three taco combo, carne asada, fish and shrimp tacos with a shrimp ceviche large. The tacos were all delicious in its own style. The ceviche was flavorful and just right. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking can be very tricky during peak times, walk or uber if that’s an option. I came on a Sunday at around noon and it was super busy with a very bright vibe. Solid atmosphere overall with excellent customer service too.
