Alberto's is the most greasy food in the state! You can tell they never change the oil that they use.

The taco truck that parks on the south side of Arrow Highway between Grand and Glendora.

I have to drive to King Taco in Baldwin Park or South El Monte to get good tacos. I've tried that place on Route 66 that used to be a BBQ joint and I'm not going back. If there are any good taco places in Glendora, I'm all ears.

For years I have tried the fish tacos in many restaurants, but always am disappointed. Two weeks ago I tried Mauricio's and BINGO! This is the best fish taco I have had in many years. And the best part is I live nearby!!

I've eaten at Sergio's twice and both times I've found it to be overpriced and bland.

Mauricio’s has the best taco’s and Mexican food here in Glendora. My wife and I use to go to Maria’s and Sergio’s but the food and service at Mauricio’s is just too good to pass up.

Every time we go in there the food is fantastic and Mauricio is always there to greet you with a smile and handshake.

This place has won us over. “See you tomorrow. Why Not”

The absolute BEST tacos made in Glendora are by my latino friends, but they don't figure into the survey! :)

Wow, Mauricio's always looks empty when we drive by, never knew it was so loved; will have to try it. I've tried most of the other places listed, but go to Max's in Azusa for better food/atmosphere. Used to go to The Whole Enchilada on recommendation of Latino friends, but nearest location now is in D Bar.

Hands down Taco Grill is the best. Don't vote until you have tried them. They have authentic soft shell tacos for only a buck on Tues and Sat! Chicken, Pastor,(spicy marinated pork) Carnitas, and Asada. Best friendly service you will ever get in Glendora too! Plus you get free fresh chips and salsa when you dine in. So happy I can ride my bike there several times a week! The owner, Art knows everyone by name and you call in and fax orders too! My son has been eating these tacos with everything since they opened and he was only 5 then. And they have tons of other great stuff besides taco too!

Editor, please remove Alberto’s Mexican Food and Casa Jimenez. They are both chains with multiple locations in Southern California. Thank you.

NO CONTEST, TACO GRILL HANDS DOWN! Silly people, if u have not tried Taco Grill you are missing out. Taco Tuesday is on Saturday so here's your chance. My fav is the shredded beef hard shell. I know I know not authentic! I'm a foodie and everything on their menu is outstanding. Mouth watering full flavor street tacos - carne asada, chicken, pork and more. I tell people Try it today, you will crave it tomorrow. Its so funny, it always happens. I recall sending a coworker over there to try ,lol, she went back every day that week, didn't you Deborah! When you have casted your vote for Taco Grill and are looking for more to try check out the quesadillas and the taquitos too. Yum yum. Guess what I'm having for lunch today :-) The ItAlian Princess

Mauricios! Always get a warm greeting, and great food. Not fancy, but not expensive either.

Good Mexican food in Glendora? HA! Does not exist! It's all relative, of course, but the best is beyond question Maria’s. I don't eat meat or lard or any of that yucky stuff, but Maria’s and her sons put together beyond question the best tostadas in all of Glendora, no contest.

I like Tacos Baja for tacos, however, Mauricios is also delicious! They both have great service as well. I did not care for the food, price or service at the Taco Grill, Albertos is much too greasy, Casa Jimenez was absolutely horrible both times I tried it (thus, I refuse to eat there again).

There is no questions about it, the Taco Grill has the best taco's ever. Not only that, but from the moment you walk in the door you feel right at home, the owner and the staff greet you with a smile and have converations with you while you wait for your food. I don't know any other taco place that does this. Me, my family and friends LOVE this place...My husband is very picky about his beans, this is one of the few places he will buy them. If you have not tried the Taco Grill yet, I strongly recommnend you do...
