About
Welcome to Tacos El Único, a hidden gem nestled in the vibrant heart of Compton at 12920 Atlantic Ave, Compton, CA 90221. Step into this charming eatery and you’ll instantly find yourself immersed in the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine, reimagined with a unique twist.

The star of the show is undoubtedly their Original Tacos, made with 412 white corn tortillas that offer a delightful chew and authenticity, priced at just $3.25. For those seeking a more traditional street food experience, the Street Tacos are not to be missed at $2.85. You can also indulge in heart-shaped taco platters, perfect for sharing or treating yourself to a fiesta at home, with prices starting from $19.99.
Tacos El Único doesn’t stop at tacos. Their tortas are a remarkable revelation. The Torta Telera, filled with your choice of meat, beans, and fresh toppings, beckons at $13.49. Opt for the Breakfast Torta, a delightful morning treat with a mini telera roll at $9.75, featuring grilled eggs and guacamole — a flavorful way to kickstart your day.
If you’re a cheese lover, the Quesadillas are a must-try. A crispy 12-inch flour tortilla filled with Jack cheese starts at $7.55, and you can add meat for a mere $11.05. The combination of gooey cheese and perfectly grilled tortillas is pure bliss.
My personal favorite? The roasted chicken paired with their delightful rice. There’s something magical about the way the chicken drippings meld with the rice pilaf, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. No wonder customers like Roo M. are raving about it!
Before you dive in, just a tip: watch out for the creamy garlic dip that packs a surprising punch! It’s delicious, but approaching it like a butter might lead to a pleasantly jolting experience.

“ Hi... my name is Roo ... and I'm a Gogo-Holic. I am a total crack fiend for the rice at this place The roasted chicken is great, their sides are excellent and I'm also in love with their Hummus. (Yes, I've been on a Mediterranean kick this week) If you order their chicken with any rice whatsoever, make sure to ask for the chicken to be on top of the rice. Alone, the rice is great and alone, the chicken is delicious and juicy, but when the chicken drippings mix together with the rice pilaf, something magical happens and the whole truly becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Gotta try it. Tip - Be careful with the stuff that comes in the tubs, one of them is creamed garlic (May have to ask for it) which is delicious, but if you slather it on the pita thinking that it's butter, you may be in for a nice eye-watering surprise ”
