Taco Los 3 Potrillos

Taco Los 3 Potrillos is a Mexican restaurant at 1959 Durfee Ave in South El Monte, CA, with deep roots in taquero tradition. The restaurant traces its heritage to "Santiaguito de Velázquez" of Arandas, Jalisco, widely regarded as the birthplace of the cabeza taco. That legacy flows through a family lineage connected to "El Chapo," one of the early pioneers of organized taquería culture in Mexico City. Guests consistently rave about the cabeza tacos and quesadillas, as well as the juicy birria and carne asada options. The space is family-friendly and open seven days a week from 8:30 AM to midnight.
