About

Taco Nazo in South El Monte is part of a Southern California institution that pioneered the Ensenada-style fish taco back in 1978, when Gilberto and Maria Romero brought their Baja recipes across the border. The menu centers on lightly battered fish tacos topped with cabbage, onion, tomato, cilantro, and a signature sauce, alongside asada, al pastor, and shrimp options. Family meals offer generous portions that stretch your dollar, and the Mexican rice and shrimp cocktail draw consistent praise from regulars. The space is kid-friendly with outdoor seating and TVs, and suits everything from a quick solo lunch to a casual group hangout.
