Taco Nazo

If you’re anywhere near La Habra and craving authentic Baja-style seafood tacos, Taco Nazo is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this spot has built a loyal following — and for good reason. The fish tacos are absolutely top-tier: crispy, golden-battered fish tucked into warm corn tortillas, piled high with fresh cabbage, pico de gallo, and their creamy white sauce. The shrimp tacos are just as incredible — perfectly seasoned and cooked, with that ideal balance of crunch and tenderness. Everything tastes fresh, hot, and made to order. And don’t skip the salsa bar — the variety and flavor take the meal to the next level. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Kevin. He was genuinely one of the best employees I’ve come across anywhere. Friendly, patient, and incredibly attentive, he made sure our order was perfect and checked in to see if we needed anything else. He had such a positive attitude and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s rare to see customer service that good, and it made the whole visit even better. Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and outstanding service — especially thanks to Kevin. I’ll definitely be coming back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Baja style fish tacos in the LA area,about authentic as its gonna get outside of BC Mexico.Had the beer battered shrimp tacos,excellent,good size,and less than $5 each,2 was enough to fill me up.Good selection of Mexican beers to go along with the tacos.Great service,the place was packed,and they still got the order done quickly.

The famous fish taco is famous for a reason. It was crispy with a hint of spice. You should also try the grilled shrimp taco - this shouldn't be missed. Both taco is best paired with their crema. Anita was sweet and attentive to all the customers. She knows her menu and she know how good the foods are.

Don't trust their 'ready' times for online orders. Ordered at 5:46 PM with a 6:10 PM pickup; didn’t walk out with my food until nearly 7:45 PM. I stood there for 90 minutes and not a single staff member asked if I needed help or checked on my order status. I understand it gets busy (Friday on lent) but there was total lack of communication and respect for the customer's time.

Taco Nazo has a simple menu and delivers it perfectly. I had the fish and shrimp tacos which were fantastic. Fish is huge and the battered shrimp is amazing. Coupled with their homemade taco sauce and white sauce along with bites of the grilled salt n pepper chile and I was in foodie bliss. Sevice is great. Busy but churns quickly and staff is friendly. Also had a Jaimaca agua fresca to wash it all down.

Excellent friendly service. Wow! Can't wait to go back and try more items off of their menu. Hard to beat the fish tacos though! I loved the chips, salsa and roasted pepper as well!

I am nothing short of amazed by my experience here at taco Nazo. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had my food, hot fresh and was ready to eat. and the food wow, just wow, I was blown away On how friendly the staff was big shout out to Kevin!! it’s because of him I will be definitely be returning!!

If you are a fan of fish tacos, you must give this place a try. I ordered fish tacos, a tostada with ceviche, and a michelada. The dishes were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The menu is straightforward and not too extensive, making it easy to choose. I'll definitely return to try more items from the menu, especially their fish tacos.

This is truly a spot that doesn't disappoint! Your greeted as soon as you enter the doors! Food is amazing. I have tried both the shrimp and the fish tacos. Both are on point!

Excellent Mexican food and great service. Thank you Taco Nazo, I like the history of where the restaurant started back decades ago as well. I would unlock the restrooms and not have a code to get in, but these days I understand the concern.

Clean interior, friendly service, and food served fresh and hot. Despite usually having long lines of folks waiting to order, you usually don't find yourself waiting too long to order. We went in for La Serna wrestlin fundraiser night (they participate in supporting local fundraisers) and found a packed house. Waited about 10 minutes for our food but had no issues finding a table. Indoor seating only, restrooms are coded male and female and are separate. Tasty and refreshing sandia agua fresca pairs nicely with fish tacos!

My first time trying out this place. I have heard good things about this place and finally got the chance to try it out since I was near by. Good that they have a parking lot and when you enter their restaurant you are greeted. First of all, the smell that hits you upon entering; you're already drooling or maybe I was that hungry. I smelled amazing. So I got myself two fish tacos and a shrimp. In all honesty, by my life experiences at other places I would receive diet sized fish strip or baby shrimp in a taco. This place they really mean business, you are not going to receive no diet sized strips, they gonna give you the real thing. The flavors, they are actually there. Cutting my story short this place is really worth it. Loved the food so much and they even give you chips and salsa. The salsa made me tear up because it tasted so close to what my grandma's.

Nice visit to this OG fish taco joint. They are one of the original fish taco places in SoCal. Legit family run business with family pictures on the walls and a beautiful tribute to the owner on the wall. While the deep fried fish tacos were huge and good, the shrimp tacos were our favorite! Lots of delicious sauce and plenty of large shrimp inside the shell. Beans were great, rice ok. Plate staff and plenty of seating inside.

SO DELICIOUS SOLID FISH TACOS & SHRIMP CEVICHE i would like to not drive here next time so i can get drunk off of the seafood cocktails tyvm spacious, a lot of tables, busy but very good

Delicious fish tacos and Al pastor. A fish tacos are definitely the best I've ever had is something about the fish and the batter. Small tortillas, stuff to the brim. Order the #1 or 2 and get a free. Drink. Comes with vhios and salsa. Family owned over 47 years

Literally so disappointed in the food. Over priced and not well seasoned. The shrimp tacos were lacking flavor. The cream on tacos was too over powering for those tacos. Rice and beans were horrible :(

My favorite fish taco spot in the entire world! I remember trying Taco Nazo for the first time at a tradeshow. And it just knocked me off my socks. From the tortilla, to the crunch of the crispy fish and cabbage. To the flavor bomb of the creama. Hit it with some hot sauce and the peppers. And you've got magic. It wasn't too busy at this location. Food came out fairly quick. Lots of seating indoors. I will always stop in for some fish tacos here

FOOD: Despite not being a fan of fish, their fish tacos completely changed my mind. Should I say, "It's fish, but it's not fishy?" I highly recommend giving them a try, even if you're not typically a seafood lover. And even if potatoes aren't your thing, their taco dorados are a game changer, even for the most potato haters like me. I also tried their Carne Asada taco and can't go wrong. SERVICE: I usually get takeout from them. The staff at the counter is quick and efficient, even when it's busy. They do a little "hep hep" (I forgot the exact cheer word) when you leave a tip, a cute gesture of gratitude--keeping it easy and light. I'm not sure, though, if they are still doing that. AMBIANCE: Being an old establishment, it could benefit from a little tidying up. PARKING: It is located in a compound of small establishments, so parking can be very tough.

This location is subpar compared to other locations. Being a fan of Taco Nazo, i came here for quick grub one day and it was a disappointing experience. The restaurant was not clean. Ordered 2 tacos and they were much smaller and less meat than the tacos from other Taco Nazo locations. It was noticeably smaller which was surprising to me. The flavor was also lacking. Disappointed. Not coming back to this location.

Best potato tacos EVER! Can't get enough of this place. We usually dine in but it's been pretty busy recently so we order to pickup now. Make sure to get the green salsa. It tastes the best with the potato tacos. The service is pretty good here. They have someone that delivers the food to the table and they also clean off the tables as soon as people get up and leave. So there are usually spots available to sit. I'd recommend keeping your party small to get seated quicker. The potato tacos tastes homemade and they're crunchy and flavorful with the toppings and salsa on top. They come out fresh and hot so be careful not to burn your mouth like I did!

Ok, had it again the next day from Bellflower location and it was every bit as delicious! This chain is completely legit and you need to try it.. our whole household were fiends and fought over the fish tacos, rice and beans.. so damn good!!!!

All the food is delicious, but the fish tacos are the best. It's in the top five in the OC area.

Sure, it's been a few years since my last review, but we decided to give the place another try, especially during lent. Well, someone must've read my review as the soda machine was updated and there wasn't trash on the floor or lids and straws near the machine. Yes, it was crowded (I think every other Catholic in La Habra was there, lol), but no one was impatient and the team did their best to get the food out quickly. I liked the cheer they gave whenever they got a tip (in fact, I gave a good tip just to hear them cheer!). There's an order ahead line (which I should've known) for those smart enough to bypass the wait... On this particular evening, parking was super tight, but that's to be expected. Order ahead, bring someone to jump out and pick up the order while you drive around the block. Come back and you're good to go. I'm glad I gave this place a other try and I'm glad they cleaned up their act... Literally.

Food: consistently flavorful and delicious. Shrimp tacos are the go to but don't underestimate the shrimp cocktail. It's just as bomb. Service: polite and friendly staff. When dining in, food is brought to the table. Ambiance: fun and lively with two tv's. Can get loud when crowded. Restrooms are well maintained.

The food here is so DELICIOUS! I'm obsessed and found myself ordering and picking up food here 3X one week! I am a creature of habit for a bit at a new spot so I've been sticking with a grilled shrimp taco with all the dressings on and I add cheese & a carne asada burrito with the signature salsa and signature sauce inside with added onion. CHEFS KISS. It is 2-3 meals in 1 for me. The Guest Service is good! I only have gone in to pay the extra for grilled shrimp as I order online for pickup, but the experience I've had at the registers has been good and the cashier's have been very friendly! It's a good size spot and seems like a very welcoming and comfortable environment to definitely sit and be able to enjoy your food in. I will absolutely be back, multiple times, and will make sure to dine in sometime soon too!

One of my go to places if I'm craving Mexican food. Bonus is they have fish options for my husband who is Pescatarian. We ordered a fish taco, an Al pastor torta, Shrimp Burrito, side of chilies, agua de piña, and horchata. Zero complaints about any item. The salsas were delicious, I preferred the red which was Smokey and my husband preferred the green which tasted like it had habaneros. It was pretty busy for a Monday night but service was quick. Highly recommended!

Came here randomly after my wife and I dropped off my in-laws dogs for grooming in the same plaza. We ordered our food and sat down..within 5 minutes we had our food delivered. My wife ordered the bean and cheese burrito and I ordered the fish taco. Both were delicious! My taco was the size of my whole hand. Both our meals came with a big chile sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning and it was so dang good! I'd come here again. Everything was delicious, the store was clean, and the bill was pretty decent!

I only come here for their amazing fish tacos. It is a very casual place but service is very organized.

I heard about this place and so we decided to check it out. We really enjoyed the food here and I recommend coming early (before rush hours). We ordered the World Famous Fish Taco, World Famous Shrimp Taco and Taco Dorado Potato. Honestly, everything tasted delicious and I love how they have generous fillings for each taco. The fish and shrimp were well-seasoned and delicious. The potato taco was pretty good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these selections! Prices are decent, credit cards are accepted, and there's plenty of parking

Stopped by taco nazo on 9.13.24 after a entire day of shopping Michael our server was great the food order came out fast and accurate had the 3 taco combo with the grilled shrimp , pastor and fish it was really good .

We love Taco Nazo!! They are well-known for their fish tacos, which is what I normally get, but other family members like the 2 Taco Combo, which is great with the Al Pastor Taco and the Carne Asada Taco. It's very casual and the service is very friendly and efficient.

As usual taco Nazo in La Harbor, never fails. We had dinner yesterday and watched the Dodger game on the big screen had a combination plate, of Fish tacos, beans and rice also Potato tacos, and a Modelo Michelada and Sandia Agua which were made perfectly. The customer service was great. Amy was so helpful, courteous, and friendly. This is the kind of service that makes customers come back again and again. I want to mention their salsa they have three different kinds, which are so flavorfulalso the big yellow chile is unique in itself delicious. This establishment can get crowded at times but what do you expect with good food, a good atmosphere, and good prices. We'll be coming back soon.

PARKING: They have tons of parking in this plaza shared with other businesses. Dollar Tree is in this place if you're looking for it. SERVICE: Order at the cashier and then get your number and sit anywhere you'd like & they'll bring the food out to you. It's a casual fast food environment. Wait was very quick for 3 tacos. FOOD: $12 for any 3 tacos. Since it was my first time here I tried the grilled fish taco, potato taco, and Al pastor taco. I swear the grilled fish taco had the same consistency as the potato taco, which was weird, but it was good. Till this day I don't know if they gave me fish or potato! The potato taco was flat and crunchy but soft on the inside. It comes topped with cabbage, tomatoes, and a mayo sauce or tartar sauce. Pretty much the same toppings as a fish taco. Yummy to try, but I personally like protein in mine. Surprisingly, the Al pastor was my least favorite. Very flavorful, but dry. They also brought a bottle of red salsa which was semi spicy. Enough to make me sweat a tiny bit, but I liked it!

Lame, maybe being attentive to your customers is no longer considered important. It's similar to buying food here. Big open space if anyone else is there it's very loud.

These tacos suck. The asada meat was dry. My tortilla's were luke warm at best,, the chile huero just had a bunch of salt on it, the rice & beans were ok, and their house salsa tastes like it has ketchup. The ppl are nice and i got my food fast, but that's probably cause they just got my tacos off the heat lamp and on to a plate. Never again. Not worth my $15 2 taco combo.

Taco Nazo offers the best tacos, and I would recommend it to everybody. The service is good, and the food is of high quality. They definitely don't skimp on anything, providing good value for money. Come on down!

This place should definitely have more than 5*! IM VERY VERY IMPRESSED. Food: their tacos, are no joke.. we live very close and passed by it many times. This place was recommended and so we said, let's give it a try... DANG! Talk about perfect crisp, filled to the brim with lettuce, tomato and sauce and just thick too. They are a must!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cute little spot, definitely need to get there at the right time because you it's not that big of a place but I feel like seats open pretty fast. Overall/ 10/10. Will definitely back!

Very good authentic shrimp tacos. Their tortas are great. The only reason I gave them a 4 star is because sometimes there is no where to sit

Great local place to eat some of the best fish, shrimp or potato tacos in town. If you're here on a Friday during lent season be prepared to wait twice as long you normally would due to the very long lines, everyone knows what's up. Plan accordingly and you won't regret it. One last thing, when you give them a tip, they'll say "Tip Tip, Hooray"!

I've been to the Taco Nazo in El Monte and stumbled upon one on this side of town and the food is just like the one in El Monte (plus other locations in Walnut, Bellflower and La Puente. Fresh food with a nice spacious dining room serving the Ensenada style fish tacos. Got the papas tacos trio too. Potato tacos may not sound interesting but they taste good so don't knock it until you try it. I see many others order the ceviche here so it peaked my curiosity but I'm a fish tacos guy at heart. Especially the Ensenada style fish tacos. Lastly, beware of food coma after your meal.

Their fish tacos are actually super good. I can see why that's the thing they're known for. I'd come back for a nice fish taco. I ordered a 2-taco plate: one fish, one shrimp. Solid & filling. Comes with beans rice chips & a drink. Plenty of food, but the fish taco is the star of the show. Everything else is good but just the same as anywhere else. My big hang-up is the pricing. It's over $4 per taco & a plate is $15 or more. The fish tacos are super good, but the principle of paying that much for a taco is tough for me. Makes it hard to want to come here instead of any other cheaper taco place that's nearly just as good or the same.

How did we get to $5.00 a taco? B flavor. Portions are a bit less than average. 6 tacos costed $30.00. This is a bit much for what you are getting here. Wont be able to afford this moving forward.... 1 lbs of carne asada is $10.00...

Let's see...the food here is good! But worlds best fish taco is a stretch. The fish was tender, and the breading was crispy but overall it was under seasoned. The tortillas tasted and felt like they were straight out of the package and not even warmed on the griddle. There was no salsa on the taco, but there was a white sauce that was pretty good. It made the taco less dry. I was expecting a little more oomph, but the fish taco was a 6.5/10. The Taco de papa was good and decorated nicely. The shell was crispy, but not greasy which was great. They were generous with the fresh toppings which i was nice and really helped the taco along. The actual potato filling left something to be desired...it was just under seasoned...6.5/10 The Taco dorado de frijoles? EXCELLENT! The beans were so good and creamy, but still had substance to them. They were seasoned perfectly. The hot beans, in that crispy shell, with the cool fresh toppings? Chefs kiss! I'd definitely come back for these! The lemon pepper chile they serve on the side? Love it! I wouldn't rush back to this place, or make the drive I did. But if I was in the area, I'd stop in.

The best potato tacos and fish tacos in the area. So crispy and loveeee the toppings they put on the tacos. All the workers are attentive and the ladies do a great job with keeping the place looking clean and making sure that I was already being helped while waiting for my online order.

Delicious fish tacos; great portions, all beer-battered, loaded with fresh cabbage and their secret sauce. Other recommendations include shrimp tacos and shrimp burritos. Get the extra grilled peppers!

It was very tasty. We got the 8 tacos plate. Picked 3 fried fish tacos, 2 grilled fish tacos, 2 asada tacos, and 1 chicken taco. I had 1 grilled fish, 1 asada, and a bite of the fried fish. Hubby ate everything else and said everything was good. For me: the flavor was good for all three. The beef had 1 piece of gristle, that was the only flaw I guess. The grilled pepper was okay, salty but tasty. I usually never eat grilled pepper. First time for everything right? It was $35 for the tacos. Overall, a solid 4.5 stars !

We drive 30 min to get here and these are so good and worth the drive! Best fish tacos, carne asado tacos and horchata!!

This place never disappoints yes it's on the pricey side but man is it well worth it. Starting from my favorite the ceviche is bomb I like the shrimp but the mixed is best. Don't even get me started with the fish taco. I mean just wow. Definitely will try the torta next time. Definitely recommend this place. But don't take my word for it.

Decided to stop by as I've heard very good things. I ordered the 3 taco combo. The fish taco was very good. However my favorite surprisingly was the Al pastor. The staff were very nice and helpful.

I came to support the La Mirada HS Cross Country, and came home disappointed. I ordered togo at the restaurant and when they had my order ready, one of the staff already read the receipt of what I ordered that was stapled to the togo bag. I should have checked inside. Unfortunately, after driving 30 minutes home did I find out that instead of the 2 small cocktails that I added onto my plate, I received someone else's order of a shrimp ceviche. Really was looking forward to my $60 meal, and it didn't make sense for me to drive all the way back to get my correct order.

The fish tacos are still the best in town! I also enjoy the shrimp ceviche. Nice and fresh. The service has always been nice. I recently tried their "off menu" item of the surf and turf burrito that consists of a piece of fried fish with carne asada. It sounded better than it tasted. The crispy fish batter was lost to the other ingredients. The mouth texture was mushy as the flavors blended together. I would take a bite of the shrimp ceviche with its citrus accents to refresh my palate. I would rate the surf and turf burrito a "2-Star" overall. I'm glad I tried it but wouldn't order it again. I still love Taco Nazo!

Tacos and plates always comes out hot and delicious. Shrimp cocktail is always nice and cold. Inside is comfortable and very casual. Service is prompt.

The best fish tacos you will ever eat! My family and I have been going here for years and even though prices have gone up, this is still my go-to fish taco spot in the area. Service is fast and friendly. There is also a lot of tables inside so if you wanted to stop by with some friends for lunch and dinner there is plenty of room.

Some of the best fish tacos in so cal! I have been going to the original location on Valley Blvd in La Puente since the late 80's when they opened. Now they have locations peppered all over the south land to enjoy.

I've been coming to taco nazo for years. It has, and i'm not kidding, one of the best fried shrimp tacos for under $4 that you can get. They're a baja style fish taco chain (original is in bellflower) but i've had way better fish tacos in my life. But the shrimp tacos? Banging. You should also get the potato tacos. They're like a fried mashed potato. Definitely worth changing it up with. My usual go-to is two shrimp and one potato.

Went there today at around 1:40 pm ordered potato tacos came out to $10.01 I gave her a $50 she proceeded to give me $39.99 back I said I'll grab a penny from the car can I have my change she still tried to give me 99 cents in change I mean I have to wait for my food do you think I'm going to run off with a penny This location is a joke I canceled my order she lost a sale because of 1 cent that she couldn't wait for I will never go to this location again only bellflower for me

First time here. This place is bomb! Huge tacos and big pieces of fish with perfect amounts of breading. I ordered two fish tacos and the combo. I should've only got one. IT's SO BIG! My piña aguas frescas was so yummy!!!
