“Tried this place randomly for the 1st time since I don't live around here but was in the area. Did not disappoint, I had the Huevos con Chile Roja and breakfast plate and it was soo good and flavorful the meat was tender and the eggs cooked perfectly over easy. I had it with corn Tortillas ( wish they were handmade) but anyways stiff bomb. Also bad their Shredded beef hardshell tacos comes with Guacamole and Pico de gallo already in it that was also really good. Prices are soo good compared to the San Fernando Valley. Will definitely be back when I'm around.“

Callos La Rosca Compton Mexican • $$
15413 Atlantic Ave, Compton

“If you know, you know—this spot kills it when it comes to mariscos. The ceviche is super fresh, packed with flavor, and the aguachile? Straight-up addicting. Heat, lime, crunch—everything you want in every bite.

Do yourself a favor and try the Dos Banderas plate. It’s bomb. Two styles, one plate, and somehow both slap equally hard.

Service is always on point, the vibes are chill, and it’s clear they care about the quality. Easily my go-to when that marisco craving hits.

Highly recommend—this place deserves all the love.“

“Maybe I had the wrong meal, Chile verde plate. The tortillas get 6 stars if it was possible, they're amazing!!!! The pork or chile was missing flavor, and refried beans were too runny. The tortillas saved the meal and their hot sauce is made with habaneros that gave flavor to the chile verse. Been here before but I dont recall what I had. My niece who's 2 1/2 had the pancakes and they were bland, so much that she only had a bite or two and that was it for her.“

Tacos 20/20 Mexican •
19618 S Susana Rd, Compton

“?? MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - No matter which of the two orders (bistec/cecina) you choose, your tacos look very simple when they are handed to you, a tortilla with one thin cut of meat on it. It is up to you to dress it up as desired, and they have all the options you could ever want. What seems like a simple operation starts to get much more complex the more you look as three or four homemade salsas are around, a pot of black beans is available for customers as well as some grilled onions in addition to the diced cebolla y cilantro.“

“It has been almost thirty years since I've been to Albertios. I found this location by total accident. Longer than 30 years ago, I was working with local bands inSanDiego, and after wrapping everything up, we'd go to Albertos or Robertos, and I thought about this while I was eating. All locations are designed the same, same menu and omg... the hotel carrots are still awesome. Of course, today, the prices have increased, but the food was soooo worth it. Ty for awesome food and bringing back some great memories...“

“So I live in Compton, only a few blocks from the birra spot. I'll be honest, I did not like birria de chivo but I came here for Father's Day because my dad who lives in L.A. wanted to try it. Long story short I had no clue what to order. Gentleman at the window was soo helpful and patient in helping me, the señoras are cooking in the truck so we knew it was going to be good. Anyway my dad loved it, and I tried it and I really enjoyed it. Just be careful with parking the lot they are by was full and and I parked on a side street and I totally missed the sign and got a big fat ticket. ??“
