Their surf and Cali burritos are awesome. Carne asada is good quality and shrimp and sauce is top notch. The girls at the counter are EXTREMELY friendly and they go out of their way to help you enjoy your experience. Though not a large restaurant there is plenty of seating and the bathrooms are immaculate!!
ok service
Went for dinner with 2 kids, hubby and my dad. Kinda pricy but from the get go, was not very good. Cashier charged us, then said we didn't pay for drinks. Our receipt showed we paid for 3 drinks. They couldn't figure it out but did the refund. Then, forgot a plate for my kid, enchiladas. The cook thre it together a slapped on the cheese, not melted, cold beans and cold mound of cheese. Daughter looked confused. She didn't eat much because it was so much cheese. I didn't want to take it back to not cause more trouble. Small portions for the price and the food wasn't great.
Alright, fellow taco hunters—file this one under “pleasant surprises.”
I dropped into this unassuming taco shop in Corona yesterday and walked out full, happy, and just a little emotionally confused. Why? Because for a few glorious bites, I thought I was back at Tito’s Tacos. Seriously.
Now let’s be clear—these tacos aren’t exactly Tito’s. There’s no cold cheese avalanche or crisp lettuce bed riding shotgun. But the shell? Crispy, golden, nostalgic perfection. The meat? Seasoned just right, no weird fillers or mystery textures. I’m not saying it is Tito’s… but I am saying it’s the closest thing I’ve found without driving to Culver City.
⚠️ Salsa Warning ⚠️
This is important: the salsa that looks like Tito’s salsa? IT IS A TRAP. 🔥 One big mouthful and my soul briefly left my body. It’s tasty, don’t get me wrong—but it comes in hot like it’s got something to prove. Respect the red. Sample small.
I also had a burrito, and yeah—it slapped. No notes.
If you’re craving that crispy taco nostalgia and want to avoid the 91-to-the-405 pain, this place delivers.
Good tacos delicious, taco Tuesday great price and flavor clean and nice service, bathrooms clean.
I go out of my way to eat their flautas-no one else compares but their dining room was HOT, so we had to sit outside. Their service is always great, but their french fries and chips (that you have to buy now) have no salt or other flavor…very boring. Overall, I will order their flautas and nothing else from here forward.
I eat here all the time, their food is very high quality. The staff is kind and friendly. I have never had even a slightly negative experience. It seems like the staff is treated well by management which is too rare. I make a lot of substitutions and they never act like it’s a hassle.

The food was delicious! Had a carne asada torta, and it did not disappoint definitely recommend. They have taco Tuesday 2 tacos for 5.99. My mom said 100% worth it! Also, they have a salsa bar, and they were all very tasty ?

Parking can be tough because the new thrift store but my goodness their breakfast burrito is perfect, full of protein and the tortilla holds up so great. Not greasy or fatty or salty. Great salsa too! Just remember they are closed Sunday!
