Incredible -- unusually good: maybe the best. I'm allergic to onion and there wasn't a stray onion anywhere, thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Taco Spot is Amazing! The customer service was outstanding, and the location was super clean. But the star of this place are the Tacos!! I tried Taco de Asada, Alpastor, Camaron, and Chorizo. Everything was delicious. I also tried the "Grande" Taco de Asada, which has beans and cheese, and it was 💣

I highly recommend Taqueria Lorena's! They’re fast, friendly, and serve great quality food. I had a chicken burrito for lunch, and it was delicious and satisfying. Perfect for a quick, on-the-go meal—I’ll definitely be back!

Dropped in here quickly recently and had an Al Pastor super burrito. Was delighted, the burrito really hit the spot! The workers there had a good vibe also, and later hours (until 11pm I think) than nearby taquerias is great.

The menu is sort of confusing because there is the original burrito (only the veg version comes with avocado, sour cream, and lettuce) and the regular burrito but no listing for a super burrito with all the fixins. They told me it wasn't on the menu but they sell it. In the end, I got the chimichanga which came with a great, refreshing green sauce. Also tried the ahogado. Now, I don't love wet burritos so I don't eat them often but a more experienced taster told me that it came with the good cheese. The tacos came with a good amount of meat. I didn't love the cabeza and the carne asada. I think the meats are a hit or miss for me. No free chips or salsa bar. I have never found parking except on the side streets every time I went.

I’ve been here a few times, but honestly, this was probably my last. I got the super nachos with asada and a side of fries. The nachos tasted alright, but the portion was way smaller than what you’d get at most other taquerias for the same price. The fries were kinda mushy too. The worst part was the staff - they were rude and disrespectful just because I didn’t speak Spanish, not realizing I actually understood what they were saying. I personally wouldn’t recommend this place.

What a low key and hidden place! Definitely slept on in the area!! I ordered 2 Asada, 1 Barbaca, and 1 Carnitas taco. The asada were super tasty, and with a tad of lime juice, they didn’t miss!! The carnitas also were not dry, and was the perfect amount of food! The Barbaca they me for a loop, I’m not used to the “carne guisada” style, of dish. It was flavorful and reminded me of a mole style dish. But I tried it, it wasn’t my favorite but if you are looking for a low key place! This is it!

Top notch tacos, quesadillas, and burritos. They have the best quality meats in the area from my experience. The only one that beats them in tacos al pastor is Metrobalderas for my taste. Their salsa roja is damn good! Use that all the time on your food.
