Tacos La Central

Located in the heart of Rialto, Tacos La Central delivers an authentic Mexican taco experience that transports your taste buds straight to the bustling streets of Tijuana. This vibrant restaurant specializes in mouthwatering Mexican classics, with standout dishes like the flavorful Adobada Taco, tender Carne Asada Taco, and the indulgent Carne Asada Mulita. Each taco bursts with rich, marinated meats that boast a perfect balance of spices, making every bite memorable.

One of the true highlights at Tacos La Central is their Tacos Al Pastor Originales de Trompo — marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit to achieve that signature smoky-char, layered with the perfect blend of pineapple sweetness and savory depth. Complemented by their signature spicy salsa, zesty radish sides, and refreshing large bebidas, this spot promises an explosion of authentic flavors. The contrast of warm, handmade tortillas—soft and slightly charred—against the fresh, vibrant fillings creates a sensory experience that’s hard to match.

Diners often praise the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere, describing it as friendly and comfortable — ideal for a casual meal that feels both genuine and satisfying. While some have noticed that not every taco comes wrapped in handmade tortillas, the food’s caliber remains evident, especially with the Al Pastor tacos earning near-perfect scores from devoted fans. The attentive service at both Rialto locations adds to the enjoyable dining experience, ensuring guests feel valued and welcome during each visit.

Whether you’re craving the spicy kick of chorizo or the classic tenderness of Carne Asada, Tacos La Central is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Mexican street food with bold, vibrant flavors. It’s a place that not only fills the stomach but also fills the heart with nostalgic warmth and culinary delight.
