Tacos Neza, which started by selling its tacos on handmade tortillas, shrimp bowls, and burritos out of a storefront in the Ovation complex on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, has opened a new location in Old Pasadena. The new shop takes over for a Tacos Super Gallito at the address.
The taquería's Antonio Coronado explains that his family moved from Mexico City's Ciudad Neza municipality around five years ago, focusing their menu on made-from-scratch dishes such as cochinita, mole, nopales, tacos costras, and breakfast burritos.
The taquería sells 19 varieties of tacos, including asada with guacamole and pickled onion, chicken mole, and tilapia, as well as taquitos, tacos de fajita, and encostradas, which involve cheese-encased meats served in double corn tortillas. There are four vegan options.
Tacos Neza currently has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp, and its mole, pastor, and asada gathering have received positive comments ever since it opened in Hollywood in 2019.
