Taqueria Los Pioneros

Love it. So far had the torta with carne asada.
Plan on going back and trying more items in the menu.

I can’t say I would ever go back here. Me being from L. A, my standards are pretty high when it comes to tacos/​mexican food. The Carne is pretty bland, just not good tasting at all.

Reasonable prices, good place to grab a few tacos. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the chicken had no flavor to it. I’ll be back to give it another shot:)
–Update– Just upgraded to 5 stars. My second visit was much better, the tacos were very good.

Everything you know is wrong!
The place has changed owners and names. Now called Taqueria Los Pioneros.
When I went by today at about 6 p.m. I saw a restaurant building with a Closed sign in the window, and a small trailer out in the parking lot.
You can see where they erased the Tacos Azteca name from the trailer — the guy behind the counter said that he is the new owner. Yup, it’s new — the health inspection certificate (Rated A) is only one week old.
I should have asked for more info (is the storefront closed permanently? Just closed for the evening?) When I placed my order I missed a big clue when the guy behind the counter politely asked, «For here or to go?» («Here»? Where? I’m standing in an empty parking lot!)
My order was simple — Pastor (marinated pork) burrito. I thought it was large for only $ 5, and came with an ample supply of lime slices. Not sure if it was the greatest burrito of all time* but it was certainly tasty and spicy. Worth another visit.

*The joke is that every time we eat out anywhere my mother-​in-​law always leans in while my mouth is full with my first bite and asks, «Is that the BEST BURRITO YOU’VE EVER HAD?» and I never quite know what to say: «Um… it’s fine. I’m enjoying it. But the best EVER? I dunno… Can I wait to answer until I’ve had a second bite?»

Loved the quesadilla tacos! The place is small but very clean. You wouldn’t expect to find great food as it looks like any other little hole in the wall. They dont have a soda machine and all their drinks come in an old fashion soda bottle.
They also have an outside taco stand serving the same delicious tacos you get inside. Everyone is super friendly and very helpful.
I will definitely be coming back for some more delicious tacos!

My husband and I drive over from Henderson just for their tacos. These are hands down the best street tacos I’ve had in Vegas. The prices are unbeatable, $ 1 for the tacos, $.25 for toppings (cilantro, onions, salsa). The tortillas might be smaller than what you’re used to at other restaurants, but three tacos are enough to fill me up. If you can’t handle spices, beware of the red salsa. It’s got quite a kick, but it’s oh so good!

This place is pretty good. Not great. Carne Asada always disappoints me here. Sometimes they overcook it and sometimes its too salty or tasteless. They just can’t get it right. I stick with al pastor and tripas. Sounds weird but they’re delicious.

Authentic and local Mexican. Prepared fresh. An excellent detour from chain restaurants.

Great food, a little pricy when you start adding extras. That’s why I gave it 4 stars, knocked off the last star for price, wish the portions were a little bigger.

This place has never failed on me!
Late night cravings are always satisfy from this place. Cheap and good quality tacos. Open really late!

Not really impressed by the quality in the meats.
I ordered a Carne Asada, Al Pastor, and Carnitas. And they all had, weirdly, the same taste. Overly greasy, no flavor, and no texture. Even with the condiments on the tacos. Lol
It’s obvious by the other reviews that these folks NEVER really had GOOD tacos.
I’m pretty much a taco connoisseur, LA native, so I’ve tried the best!
However, their service was great!
I wouldn’t go there again nor recommend them.

It was great. Loved the tacos!!!

Taco Azteca is the hidden jewel of the abyss that is known as the Eastside. Its a tiny little roach coach sitting the parking lot, with their storefront being just a dining room. Their al pastor tacos are amazing, a little heavy on the cilantro though. The burritos are excellent as well.

Thank God! I finally found a taco stand here in Vegas that is on par with the taco stands, and trucks in Southern California. I had tacos El Pastor. They put a generous portion of meat on the tacos and they were $ 1.25 each. I have had better, but not in Vegas and not for this price. I highly recommend this place. And they are open late.

Love eating here came here at least once a week for the last 10 months love their carnitas tacos and agua de Jamaica

Always wonder when a place has all five stars. Oh my God. What great street tacos. Had three carne asada. Got three more.

This place is legit for real Mexican tacos! None of that Tacos el Gordo thing here! Real Mexican tacos are from the street vendors and under 2 bucks! I don’t say anything else because if you ever tasted Tacos from a street vendor «loncheros» you know what I mean. ;)

Best Asada tacos I have had in vegas. Can’t wait to go back to try the rest. Interesting setup, you order from the trailer out front, but you can eat inside of there brick and mortar that’s in the same lot

One of the things I love best about travelling to Mexico is stopping at the street taco vendors and getting some authentic cooked to order carne asada dollar tacos.
Taco Azteca brought that exact thing to Las Vegas, and they do it WONDERFULLY. There is a restaurant storefront, but I am not entirely sure you can go inside (I’ve never seen anyone but an employee go in) because the sell everything from a food cart in their parking lot. I have only ever stopped by here after dark, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t open in the daytime (or maybe that’s when you can go inside to dine… I’m not sure and don’t really care.)
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have not eaten at Taco Azteca, you are missing out on one of the best culinary experiences in Vegas. This little food cart has been featured on Anthony Bourdain, and it’s not hard to see why the producers picked this place for a feature spot. AMAZING. Oh, and there is always a line of Mexicans waiting to get their orders, which to me is a pretty strong sign of good authentic Mexican food.
Their tacos are a buck a piece, and 50 cents to add cheese (and who wouldn’t want cheese?). They offer traditional fillings like carne asada (steak), carnitas (shredded pork), and pollo (chicken), or if you are feeling adventurous, they have lengua (tongue) and cabeza (which I’m pretty sure is cow brain — I’m not that adventurous)
I cannot say this strongly enough. Do yourself a favor and FIND THIS PLACE. Okay… now i’m hungry. I’m thinking i may have to hit this place tonight.
***Expert tip: Ask them for some lime wedges and squeeze a lime on each taco just before you eat it. It enhances the flavor of the meat and makes your tastebuds want to sing with joy.

These are, by far, the BEST carne Asada tacos I have ever tasted… I stumbled upon this place by accident looking for hot dogs one night about a year ago. Luckily I found this place instead! I think I am their most frequent customer as I only live about 2 minutes away! Definitely hope to get these guys some business by putting this up on here :) they deserve it!
