OUR HISTORY
Since 1995:
A Tradition of Flavor and Quality
THE BEGINNINGS
At Tacos Al Vapor El Canelo, our story is one of passion, tradition and love for Mexican food.
It all started in 1995, in the corner of Kern and Olympic, when our founder decided to bring the unique flavor of steamed tacos to East Los Angeles.
​
Opening the actual location in 2010.
​
Since his wife's father called his grandson "El Canelo" because he had cinnamon-colored hair, it inspired him to call this company
"El Canelo"
THE INSPIRATION
Inspired by family recipes and the desire to offer a healthy and delicious alternative to fast food, Jorge began selling his tacos in a small establishment in the heart of the clients.
His dedication and the unmistakable flavor of his tacos quickly won the hearts of the locals.
Innovation Maintaining Tradition
Always faithful to our roots, we have known how to innovate and adapt to new times. We incorporate the best meats from suppliers such as SWIFT and ABP, ensuring the highest quality in each taco we serve.
