“ Ordered two tacos. One lengua. One al pastor. The flavors of each bite transported me to Mexico but this is Los Angeles is Mexicano. Cierto! Cross my heart these tacos are the real deal. The atmosphere is colorful and festive. The service pleasant. The horchata es un poquito too dulce for me but still good. Love supporting a family owned negocio. ”
“ A friend from Vegas recommended this place and we loved it. Fresh tortilla are made daily. The beans were so soft and the meat was delicious. Atmosphere was also cool with cool day of the dead murals depicting LA sports heroes. ”
“ Their burittos are AMAZING! The avocado and beef is fresh while the tortias are soooooooo soft!!! Was so satisfied with the first to last bite. Their salsa is also super fresh and flavory so definitely recommend the quac with chips Owners were super friendly as well so this was one of my best places to grab a bite during my stay in LA BTW we nearly burst with too much food. Two people with a small stomach are good with just a single buritto chips ”
“ Delicious food. I had the three taco combination plate (with two vegetariano tacos and one nopal taco) which comes with rice beans and some chips. See photo. All were fresh and delicious. As a vegetarian, I appreciate that nothing here has lard. ”
“ Very unassuming place from the outside but once we went in, it was warm and welcoming. Very extensive menu and colorful atmosphere. Once we ordered, it was a short wait. The food was delicious!! Salsa was spicy but flavorful and the drinks were delicious. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! ”
“ Clean, quality ingredients with good flavor. Fresh chips. The salsa is a little watery but the hot sauce is good. One of my go to spots for an easy meal I know will be good ”
“ I have had tacos from all over and the ones here where a fantastic. This place was the best stop that we made on our long journey. The only thing I wished is that I had ordered more tacos! They are classic small street style made with care and love and quality ingredients. ”
“ Tacos looked a little above my budget so I figured a burrito would be affordable and satisfying, dang was I right! Red salsa is a 7/10 spicy so be a little careful. Chicken Burrito was awesome and so filling. ”
