“I came with my son for dinner. The place looks clean they have 4 tables only but place it’s inviting you know they sell Birria. I order the carne en su jugo. It’s delicious very tender savory flavorful with beans, bacon and onions accompanied by 2 cheese quesadillas . The 5 tacos dorados very well portioned. Meat was tender and tasty, salsa spicy and the consome had lots of flavor. The service was friendly, fast and guy answer all my questions. I’ll definitely come back. You guys should try.☺️“

“Came down from Oregon and landed upon this place. We got the molcajete, the meat was sooo tender, chicken was juicy, and the camarones were huge! I got a quesadilla and even that was bomb! We still talk about this place all the time now that we're back home. Will definitely come back when I get the chance! The service was also really great!“

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.“
