Shirley’s Taco’s

Excellent tasting and reasonably priced tacos. Very friendly husband and wife establishment. Only complaint is that the owners wife does not make her subperb tamales consistently, so they’re not on the menu everyday. Bummer! All in all, don’t let the outward appearance deter you, because the food is great and authentic!

I’ve had a few of the items on the menu and they are pretty solid. Typical mexican fare at a good price. I really like their refried beans.

I’m not going to compare this place to high end taco joints, I mean it is what it is… a taco joint. Its a hole in the wall on Torrence which is still mainly a country road, so for its location its good. My girl and I walked in and said we want to try a steak taco and the owner told us if we didn’t like it we didn’t have to pay for it. We tried it and needless to say we loved the steak tacos to the point that I am writing this review the next day because I was googling the number to phone.
The taste of the tacos dinner was great. Also their homemade guacamole is delicious with hand made chips as well. I’m going to try the tongue next time I go or maybe a Torta.
The TV situation is a little annoying but I was able to watch Fairly odd parents which I haven’t watched in years. Its a family restaurant so I wouldn’t hold it against them that much.

Nothing Special, Tacos, Burritos, the standard Mexican Food menu.
They do carry lingua (Tongue) on occasion though.
I’ve had the Burritos (beef) and they’re not bad, a little too greasy for my taste but not bad. The Salsa is OK too, nothin’ fancy.
It’s kinda dirty inside, the TV is always on Cartoon Network, Disney or Nickelodeon because one of the owners always has her kids there, and it’s always up pretty loud. You know, the point where the TV case (plastic) starts to vibrate and make that kazoo sound… that loud.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE GOING IN
1– There’s no public bathroom, EVEN IF YOU’RE A PAYING CUSTOMER! WTF?!
2– If you don’t ASK for silverware, YOU WON’T GET ANY.
3– If you DO ask for silverware, REMIND THEM YOU ASKED.
4– Don’t you dare ask for tap water, THEY’LL BRING YOU BOTTLED AND MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT.
My thoughts on going back —
DOUBTFUL…
