Taqueria El ARBOLITO

Amazing hole in the wall spot!! Got tacos, a burrito, and a torta!! Tried the carne asada, chicken, al pastor, and the lengua. The meats were all tender and flavorful!! Service was great! They were all really friendly.

I can not express how GREAT their green slasa is. I would have to say its one of my top 3 favorite salsa. The burrito was good as well. You add the green salsa and forget about. Every other burrito is lame. The restaurant itself is small and not the prettiest. I have a Dodge Ram, it didn't fit in the parking spots. I had to park in the street. The area feels kind of sketchy when you go there at night times.

I discovered this gem of a taco spot during one of my clinical rotations, and I’ve been hooked ever since! The tacos are hands down some of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a casual meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area—you won’t be disappointed!

This place is the best in the I.E. to have authentic Mexican tacos or torts. The meat is tender, and I found no chunks of fat at all. They use really good meat for the asada and the tripa tacos are delicious 😋. The only thing I didn't like is that the place is too small, they could use a bigger establishment.

Great place to visit The tacos of tripitas the best Well all meats are good Las mulitas are so good to and the salsas #1 I recommend

Been coming here since they opened! They give a generous amount of food portions and sides. It’s always delicious! Not a better taco spot around!

Amazing foods we got some carne asada burritos and even if they are a little small they taste amazing.

Best tacos, best deal around. Friendly, clean, delicious.

The tacos are legit This has been my go-to Mexican spot in the Inland Empire since moving here from Long Beach. I searched high and low for authentic Mexican food--and it's HERE., and I'm a tough critic. It's a true hole-in-the-wall gem with authentic Mexican flavor in every bite. If you know, you know.

I found myself needing to kill some time so I stopped in for a taco snack. Taqueria El Arbolito is one of those side road taco stands that you can drive by a thousand times without giving it a second glance. I ordered a few tacos ($1.95): carne asada + pastor and a carne asada mulita ($4.00). I was taken aback at how painfully cheap everything cost. The asada was great - amazingly tender with a lot of flavor. My tacos were piled high with plenty of meat. Love me a good mulita and the one here is delish. My favorite part? The freshly sliced with a squeeze of lemon. Not uncommon, I know, but it just hit a little different sitting out front eating tacos in the IE heat. Taqueria El Arbolito is your spot for a taco snack.

Good tacos and burritos! Fast service, good food and helpful service! This place is never a disappointment.

Food is good but doors are open and flies are coming in so I would give it 2 stars for that reason close the doors and get a fan

Wet Carne Asada burrito, light rice, light onions, and cilantro. Chunks of chile verde pork and cheese! I was not gonna post anything that's why there's a picture of a half a burrito but it's a must that I shared with the world how amazing this burrito was OK maybe the city Ontario but I highly suggest you come here order this you won't be disappointed they give you the jalapeños and the onions and some more salsa on the side. I believe it was about $15. Highly suggest getting this maybe some extra cheese just saying.

In my experience, i honestly don't recommend this place. The food has lost its touch, it was dry and flavorless. The place was not clean. The people are nice but I will not be going back.

Very dry bread and cold. Azada very unflavored. I don't know what happen usually this place was very good the couple last time when I ordered it's not good. But I order pozole to try hope it's good.

Been here many times but they been slacking lately ordered asada they gave me pastor and for $2.25 a taco and it's dry and flavor less ehhh king taco beating it plus they got my order wrong

The place would be pretty easy to miss but gladly my wife saw these online. The tacos and burritos were extremely good. If you're going to try anything always start with the mulitas. It's really close to home so I will definitely be returning!

Really good carne asada tacos! They were generous with the meat. The meat was tender and flavorful. I also sample the orchata, piña and Jamaica they were all really good. I'm not from the are but I can't wait to come back. I went in around 10:30 maybe a bit later than that and the food was still really good!

I stumbled upon Taqueria El Arbolito while I was looking for another business in the area. The reviews were good, food looked good so we decided to stop by. Parking is plentiful; they have their own little lot but there is also street parking available. It's pretty small inside with a few chairs and tables but they also offer outdoor seating if you want some fresh air. Their menu was a little all over the place not going to lie but ultimately we decided on some tacos. I got an asada, chorizo, and cabeza taco and all of them were so tasty. We were there around 10 am on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. Our tacos were made fresh and tasted very good. The only thing is they are a bit on the smaller side but other than that they were surprisingly good! Don't let the outside fool you, def worth a try.

I ordered their keto tacos (al pastor) and although the meat didn't resemble al pastor to me in terms of that reddish color, and or with pineapple flavor or an actual slice of pineapple as you usually/commonly see, it still tasted good. The issue is that these tacos, are very very very tiny, I was expecting for the pricing for them to be double/tripple the size we were given. No exaggeration they're sized less than your palm size. We also tried their taquitos, and sadly one of them had a hair in it. I get it, it happens, nothing is perfect, but that was unfortunate to experience the first visit. SALSAS, and generosity of the amount they give, and their condiments is great.

This place is good! The food is very tasteful. I had the carne asada tacos and alpastor tacos. Service was ok, could be better.

Love love love this place !!! They always give you verduritas ( cucumber with lemon ) and cebollitas ( sauté onions ) on the side !!! No one does it anymore :( They have outside sitting for people watching lol Good customer service

This place is great The food is delicious And the staff are friendly I had the tacos They were tender and flavorful

While visiting California I wanted to try several local, authentic SoCal taco places and came here... I have to say, I wasn't impressed with SoCal tacos compared to what they do in San Antonio. The service at this particular place was terrible, the lady working there could careless about offering good, timely service in taking orders. My food was made quickly and tasted decent, but the small corn torillas just aren't my thing... I prefer freshly homemade, flat-topped flour tortillas. The meats are on the bland side, so you need plenty of citrus and salsa to spike them up. The prices were decent and the salsas we good.

Me encantaron los tacos riquísimos! El servicio muy bien! Con la música prendida el ambiente se mira feliz.

I recently visited Taqueria El Arbolito and I was on the hunt for a good burrito. I ordered an Al pastor burrito and a bean and cheese burrito, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were spot on, and the salsas added a delicious kick to each bite. My favorite was the green salsa.The staff was friendly and even shared their personal favorite menu items. If you're in the mood for a burrito, this taqueria is a must-visit spot. I'll be trying the tacos and mulitas next visit I heard they're a must.

I understand that. Saving in aluminum foil to wrap the studs is your main priority. And he said it because I ordered 6 tacos to take away and they all wrapped them in a single package. That caused the omelet to be mistreated and moistened and as a consequequesia of that they stirred everything from an unpleasant appearance. I can't say anything about the taste because unfortunately. I had to throw them away!!

Keto mulitas are delicious! The cheese crust was perfectly paired with the right amount of meat. I like to build an onion, cilantro, and sauce mountain on the side and just scoop it in. Thank you for taking phone orders and always getting my order correct.

Hubby & I's favorite taco spot close by. Never disappointed. We always get carne asada tacos and a torta. Burritos are also good. Their salsa is very good, and actually has a kick to it. I would also recommend their horchata. Decently priced. Staff is always friendly & quick. Never a long wait or line.

This place is always hit or miss. The ladies there are always super rude though. Got tripas burrito and asked them to make the tripas doraditas, they weren't. That's not the first time though. Second i asked for some grilled onions, they didn't give them to me. It's okay. Like i said hit or miss with the quality all around.

Food is nasty, 2 Carne asada tacos, taco bell and dell taco are way better. It was my first time there and will be the last.

Pienso que por $10 por este burrito es demasiado pequeño, $6-7 maximo debería ser su precio de acuerdo al tamaño de este burrito, Las dos estrellas solo son porque a mi esposa le encantan los tacos de aquí...

I had a carne asada burrito and a carne asada taco. The meat itself was slightly dry but it had a good flavor. The tortilla was enjoyable, and wasn't tough like some places. The taco was the same, but I did enjoy their verde salsa with both the burrito and the taco, and I would recommend trying it!

Loved the food here the previous two times I visited.however, was very dissatisfied to find a piece of outdoor leaf in my food. Upon the second bite I bit into a rock and injured myself. This place needs an inspection, I can't imagine what they are cooking the food on for me to have found a piece of rock plus a leaf in my food. Everything went into the trash

Looking to grab a quick burrito to go and found this place. Nice local taqueria vibe, inside was clean and the lady at the register was nice and quick with my order. Ordered a simple carne asada burrito to go, and the taquero had my order up quick. The burrito was bagged with a salsa roja, salsa verde, package of sautéed onions and jalapeños, and a bag of cucumber slices. For $9.75 it's a decent deal in my book (considering inflation...). The carne asada was tender and good quality, and the tortilla was soft and chewy and held the burrito together well. The salsa verde was good, and the salsa roja was just OK. I'll definitely be back to try their tacos.

Was craving Tacos like my home city but had to find something in the city Im in for this weekend! We will be back for more before we head home! Ended up getting a burrito instead and was literally hooked on the first bite

I came out here after looking for tacos on Yelp while on a business trip. The area is a bit sketchy so I had some second thoughts, but it was well worth it since the food was amazing. I'm from the Bay Area, where admittedly the Mexican food isn't as great as SoCal, so obviously, the tacos here were some of the best I've had. On top of that, the prices were soo much more friendly to my wallet. Cherry on top, the staff was very nice, and service was pretty quick. I ended up coming here twice in my 3 days in Ontario! (review from pre-COVID days)

I got robbed outside in their parking lot. Food was ok. Food was expensive. I was so hyped for this place but like everything in life it was a let down.

Quickly becoming a favorite taco spot for my son and I. Food is served our fast and it tastes good. Tripas are good but you don't get very much. Quesadillas are good too. Al pastor is decent. A little on the pricier side for what you get, but it is on a busy street... Just down the street from Juanita's. I still have to give Juanita's the edge for the fresh made flour tortillas and salas.

Had some great authentic tacos here, the green salsa was amazing. I'll be back for some of that Al Pastor next time for sure!

They sell the Mexican basics only. Tacos, burritos, tortas, sopes, mulitas. The service was semi fast, but the food was soooooooooo good. I had tacos de asada & Al pastor & a asada sope. It was so delicious. Better than any taco I've had in a very long time. The ambience is NOT fancy. Whole in the wall place. But if you're looking for quick, yummy tacos. Definitely recommend.

Good food, but good luck getting what you ordered. They will repeat back to you what you ordered and give you something completely different. This is a huge issue for people who have dietary restrictions.

I have this place a second shot and again so disappointing food is just horrible. Meats were very dry, hard soaked in oil I think it was just scraped off the endings off grill. Aka El Pastor / Chicken

Come here for tacos! These aren't going to blow you away but they get the job done. Fast, efficient, no BS, to the point tacos Rated- best to ok Cabeza was the best in my opinion Tripa -ask for it crispy Al pastor was decent Lengua was ok Ask for the spicy salsa

Really good place. If you're a white person that lives in rancho come here , stop paying so much for food that isn't authentic .

This is my go to taco place in Ontario, I have been coming here for years. Their burrito de cabeza is my favorite and their carne asada is also bomb.

This place was BOMB If you are doubting it simply DON'T Also had decent prices which is a plus 100% would recommend this place

My cousin recommended this place to me and it was so good! We went in today and the tacos are so delicious! I will defiantly be coming back! The chorizo tacos were amazingly good! Their salsas are spicy so delicious!

Came here with my family on a Saturday evening. It was busy , but service was professional and fast. I was looking forward to really liking this place because they sell tripas . I LOVE. tripas but it's so hard to find a place that can make them good. We ordered , 4 tripas tacos, 4 asada tacos, 2 cabeza , 1 chorizo and 2 Al pastor. Unfortunately the tripas were not crisp , they were soggy and had a super greasy after taste . The asada , cabeza, and chorizo were descent but nothing to rave over. The only taco we enjoyed was the Al pastor . Also I highly recommend they keep the bathrooms clean , people are using the paper towel trash bin next to the door to put their dookie toilet paper in! It's disgusting! There was literally chunks of feces in there. Overall, save your time and your trip and continue elsewhere .

Food is excellent. The chicken is amazing. The chorizo mulitas were very good. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Just an opinion. I had: Tripas burrito - it was good. Tripas were a little over cooked but good.. 2 tacos cabeza - I thought the cabeza was a little bland lacking flavor. 2 tacos asada - it was ok. A little dry but good flavor. 2 tacos lengua - same as the cabeza. Others had: Pastor burrito - pastor had good flavor...little oily but all around good. Chorizo mulita - good Asada burrito - good Asada quesadilla - ok I may have to give it another go...this was just a first impression...it was good...nothing over the top... Their salsas had good flavor and some kick. We'll see how it goes next time around...maybe

This is really a 3.5 star review. Come on Yelp...please make half star ratings as an option. Like what a previous Yelper has said, this is a spot where you come to as a last resort. It's good...but in the end, it's pretty average. Ordered two carne asada tacos, one al pastor taco and one cheese quesadilla. Tacos were much smaller than anticipated. Smaller than King Taco for sure. My carne asada was dry and flavorless but adding salsa and squeezing some lemon made it better. They are open for dine-in although there's only about 6-8 tables outside and only a few inside. If you can, you're better off getting this as a takeout option. Small parking lot, a bit run down and seedy but it's still very family oriented, if that makes any sense. Needed a last minute quick bite to eat so Yelp led me here. At least I got to support a local business.

I have dined here multiple times and enjoy their food every time. Street tacos are becoming more and more expensive and I am pleased they have not gouged their prices yet. The location is a typical hole in the wall and it's nice to eat on their patio.

Tbh there was some hype about this place, but I believe I just went at a wrong time. The meat was dryer than the Mojave desert not gonna lie fam. It was the last meat of the day, but than again why would you still serve it? I had a tripa burrito and meat felt like I was chewing gum. Honestly, I will need to come again but I probably won't because a good restaurant is always on their toes. There is no time for slacking! Especially if the dank reviewer pulls up twisted. The best part about the place was their salsa. Their salsa game was on point I'll give them that which pretty much made it less dreadful to eat. All I know this taco tree place was not as fire as the tree I smoke. Dank review for this place will be 5.7/10

First time eating from here. Having the asada and al pastor. Very good and I will be back .

I came here today, and the other day, and a few weeks ago... lol This place hits the spot!! They have the best tacos !! I usually order asada and chorizo, mmm!! Fire! With some grilled onions & salsa on the side, squeeze a little bit of limon on them too! Ughh! Wash it down with some Agua de Jamaica lol I don't know how I've lived so close & I just barely discovered this joint. Definitely hits the spot with those late night foody-calls.

Being that this place is rated so high on Yelp and looking for Mexican food we drove on over to Ontario. I don't know what the hype is about, it was okay. The carne asada burrito was super greasy and had a lot of fat in it. The beans were good but overall I've had better asada burritos. I would not return.
