Taco Libre

We were looking for a restaurant to get breakfast and decided to try Taco Libre. It was great. 2 of us had chiliquiles and 2 had huevos rancheros..Both were very good. The chiliquiles had scrambled eggs on top and were made with homemade tortillas. The red and green sauces were both good. We ate every bite.

The Enchiladas Tapatias, shrimp taco, and pink lemonade I had hit the spot after a long day of walking. The rice, beans, and chips were pretty good too. Plus the server guy was nice.

Great little taco spot! Super quick and easy to grab a few tacos, with larger plate options if you so desire. We stopped by here for their Taco Tuesday special and even though I only had 3 tacos, I felt so full afterwards! I had two soft shell tacos - chicken and asade, and one crispy shell - potato (which I definitely recommend). You can order with some extra toppings, and they also have a mini salsa bar with onions and cilantro to add at your leisure. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A fun lively vibe, with colorful walls and decoration. This place is hidden within an alley between Colorado and Green Street in Pasadena. Food came out quickly; hot and fresh. We ordered from a screen but there was also a person to take orders as well. I would love to go back and try their nachos. Grea

While it’s hidden from the main street, this is a (very safe feeling) alley that you’ll definitely want to travel down to get tacos. Taco Libre is in between a dog bakery and the amazing coffee shop Savvvys. I recommend getting at least two tacos. When I ordered, I didn’t realize that the listed price was only for a single taco. The chicken, pork, and beef tacos are cheaper then the shrimp, so definitely order according to your taco budget. The sautéed shrimp taco on a corn tortilla comes with pico de gallo, and the pastor marinated pork taco comes with deliciously sweet pineapple. I added guacamole to both tacos, and it was delicious, especially with their green mild salsa.

The food was better than average int terms of ingredients and preparation. Service was not great, slow and inattentive. Just a takeout place with a small dining room, so not much to speak of in terms of atmosphere. Inflated California prices of course.
