El Chavo Tacto Stop is your best bet for a late night eat in Pasadena! There are a few taco trucks to choose from — but El Chavo beats them all! If you’ve been a fan for a while, you’ll know that they were located in the parking lot on the corner of Fair Oaks and Holly for a while, but for about the last year they’ve relocated to the parking lot at the Chase Bank located on Arroyo and Colorado.
The truck is run by a lovely husband and wife who surely know how to make some good Mexican eats! If you’re a fan of Pastor (spicy pork), these are some of the best pastor tacos I’ve ever had. Their Carne Asada is also quite good, as is the Lengua (tongue), for those of you who are adventurous enough to try it. Just tell yourself it’s chicken and give it a try. The Pastor quesadilla is also really good; full of cheese and spicy pork!
El Chavo is a very affordable eat – tacos run $1.25 each, setting the average eater at just under five bucks for a nice late night treat.
