“Beef tongue burritos, taco are the best in Mexican restaurant and salsa bar too“

“Riquísima comida y excelente atención“

“I’ve been passing by in front of Josie’s for years and what a shame I haven’t tried for so long…

Da BEST chicken fried tacos in town!!
Carnitas burritos were super bomb too.
The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming.“

“Omg they have Peruvian food so u get delicious aji sauce with their hot sauces.

Pupusas are 10/10. Fresh hot and crunchy on outside served with flavorful sauce and cooling it down with the pickled slaw. Sorry scarfed this down so no photos of it haha.

Menudo also 10/10. Lots of squishy tripe goodness and broth was flavorful. Served with fresh handmade tortillas.

I want to come back to try their breakfast and maybe grab some fresh warm conchas after next door. I recommend this place! They have several types of hot sweet warm drinks too like atol de elote, atole de platano, atol de aba, arroz con leche. Yummmyy“

“delicious authentic mexican food !! great prices, friendly staff.“

“they got great food! good portions you'll walk away satisfied.“

“This place is a hidden gem...there are hundreds of places around L.A. where you can get a breakfast burrito or a combo plate but where else can you get a torta Cubana a.k.a. Cuban sandwich. It's a meatfest so you better not be a vegetarian...and it's huge enough for two to share this melange of machaca beef, chorizo, ham and Oaxaca cheese. Just don't attempt to order it for breakfast, they just can't handle it at an early hour but their menu is voluminous enough for you to have other options.“

“We stopped by and ordered 3 asada tacos, 2 chicken sopes, a wet burrito with green sauce and asada, and a menudo to-go. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were seriously generous—especially the meat!

Every plate was under $15, which is hard to beat. You can tell it’s a family-run place. The owner was in the kitchen, and when you see a señora in a mandil (Mexican apron), you just know the food’s gonna be good—and it was. IYKYK 😋

Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. Good, honest food made with love. Support local and support Latino-owned!“

“I’ve always came here ...I can remember their awesome Salsa, Carnitas Taco’s and strawberry milk when I was 3 years old!!! I’m 40 years old now. They are my favorite Mexican Restaurant ever!!“

“Tacos los Viejones are amazingly delicious and tasteful! Hector your Chef AKA ( your cook ) takes his tacos to another level by adding just a little sprinkle of beans on top of the tacos. I try de pollo, Asada and pastor all amazing MUST TRY!“

“Clean atmosphere and great service!!!“

“The food from this food truck is very good, I work driving and it is very practical for me to call and place my order to pick up, you can pay with Cash or even with Zelle. On certain days you may not find them because they cover events to make sure it is better to call.“

“Great service and great food“

“The food is very delicious at Tacos El Tio! Everything is very fresh and flavored. They also have a variety of aguas frescas to choose from. You find very little to none places that have Cebada, but they top it off with the Cebada they have here. Everything from tacos to tortas and Vampiros are very authentic! I really recommend this place. 11/10“

“buen servicio atenticion y calidad del Productos todos los empleados son 5 Estrellas bonito lugar“

“excelente servicio y.calidad de mariscos“

“If you want to enjoy some of the best classic tacos in town , you could never go wrong at antojitos , not only the tacos but the great variety of Mexican food and drinks that this place offers is worth the trip…once you tried them , you will come back and come back for more!!!“

“The food is good. It's not the same price and quality as it used to be. For two people with food and drinks, it was nearly 30 dollars. There are better places to get cheaper tacos. But the quesadillas are huge and have avocado so they're worth the $13 dollars once in a while. The service is good, and the people there are always respectful. The space inside to eat is small but I always happen to go when its empty lol. Overall the place is a once in a while spot“

“we go every weekend for breakfast 😋“

“Best carnitas I’ve had in years! Had lunch here today, only outside seating, so no frills, but more than made up with it in food quality and low prices. I will be going back here. A very good value and great food, plus if you’re up late at night they’re open until midnight most nights. My pictures aren’t the best, too much mid day glare, but you can read their menu.“

“Always a great place very very authentic wonderful food we usually get our tamales there for the holidays this year they were not available understandable but that will not stop me from going to eat in or take out we have a long relationship very friendly family“

Parking: The parking is on the side of the building

Kid-friendliness: They have Quarter slots machine for toys .

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a Handicap parking ?️ on the side of the building inside the parking lot.“

“Real authentic food, speedy drive thru, and great service. checks all the boxes of a small restaurant, definitely recommend this if you're ever in the mood!

Wheelchair accessibility: If you want to go up, there is a ramp and a low counter.“

“I went there during lunch to give me some Huaraches and some horchata and oh my God it was so delicious. Even my mom who's from the Mexican state of Jalisco actually said that the food reminded her of her home state and she loved the food. Definitely a place you guys have to try. Excellent service I was completely satisfied with the service I will definitely be coming back to this place. :) 🙂“

“I worked late last night in Gardena and was looking for a place to eat dinner. I am on the Keto diet and was thrilled to find that this diner had several salad options. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and it was terrific. The salad was huge! The only downside is that the Greek olives had pits, which is the pits. Lots of chicken though and a ton of Feta cheese. Delicious!“

“I got some asada fries and an horchata tonight. service was excellent and food was delicious. the fries were big enough to share. Meat was seasoned and cooked well and the avocado was perfectly ripe. My first time but definitely not my last. Definitivamente regreso pronto!“

“Las Pupusas, buenísimas y que no falte la cola champán“

“I visit this outstanding restaurant once a month because I enjoy the ambiance that is characterizes this restaurant. The staff is awfuly helpful and qualified. The service is deeply efficient. Most important, the food you get is outstanding. I have been there more than once and I was always joyful. The expense is honest. I highly suggest this place to to everybody.“

“😻muy rico toda la comida y muy buen ambiente para todos“

“These tacos hit the spot and took me back to having authentic tacos at any small town in Mexico! The sauce was spicy as it should and the onion cured with serranos was perfect for eating alone like a taco. We had asada, buche and chorizo ​​and it didn't disappoint. Now the queso birria tacos and that juicy al pastor were another level. To lick your fingers.“

“I love all of the food here, never had anything bad. The ceviche is the best!“

“Cute with a lot of homey options cheaper than Diana's. The green salsa was fresh and had great flavor. The eggs on the chilequiles were perfectly fried. We'll have to come back to get drinks and try try their cemitas poblanas and breakfast burritos & bollilos

Bonus we got to watch an Olympics women's soccer match during our short wait“

“the family owned business is truly into customer service but the menu is huge and full of delicious food to choose from..the chicken is so reasonably price and has always been a hit at parties and potlucks..the home made tortillas are to live for..I'm truly proud of the parents leaving legacies for their 3 sons..now each has a store to run...keep up the amazing work.“

“First time here at Churros El Bom Bon. We just driving by and seeing the name we turned back and had to try the Churros. They also have Mexican Food and I highly recommend this place for the food and specialy for the Churros they're so good.“

“Doctor Agbomian is 100% guaranteed for Herbal Medication believe me. He is the best, He send me Herbs with the help of Dhl delivery service the delivery it to my doorstep at home. And I started to used the medicine and believe me I got cured from HSV type 1 within 14 days all thanks to Dr Agbomian Medication that cured me from the disease.“

“Found this place through a food app and so glad I did!

The food is great, with meats that are well-cooked and delicious. The only real snag is the parking lot — it's crowded, small, and narrow, and street parking is very limited.“

“Drive thru really love their food. Decided to have Breakfast for lunch: Sausage, vegetable and cheese omelette, hash browns and wheat toast combo & 5pc. Drumsticks for $5.99 (dinner & lunch for tomorrow). Reasonably priced. OH that breakfast was done for lol ?“

“Don't know why people put this place down. The food is what you get! Today, January 13, 2024, had the chicken bowl with extra chicken, and it was the bom! The staff is doing an amazing job on serving the public with quick and fast to get the order out, and still people are saying poor service.El Pollo Loco, you guys are doing an amazing job, and I want to say thank you for being here in Harbor City and serving the community. I want to let you know that your staff is amazing, I am just sitting here listening to how they greet every single customer that walks in the front door and you make us feel welcome and I just wanted to share this with you.See you soon again, ?~ Harry Irvine“

“I come to this location pretty often, and the last time I went, I was accidentally given guac rather than queso for my chips. I came back around to get them, and the staff hooked me up with some extras and got me the queso. I really appreciate you guys. 😊“

“I ordered a burrito from Doty’s and found it very enjoyable. Priced at $13, it’s somewhat expensive, but the taste made it worthwhile. The truck has a nice setup and is conveniently open 24 hours. They offer an extensive menu and provide outdoor seating. I would recommend giving it a try.“

“Good stuff and the price is just right. One of the last (if not THE last) fast food place that still knows its place in the food chain and acts accordingly. Doesn't charge an outrageous price, doesn't make you use an app or kiosk, and gets the food right every time. Please keep it up!“

“Micheladas are bomb The pescado zarandeado and the camarones islas marias are the best!!!!! And the banda on Fridays and Sundays play the best songs and the place has a great environment!“
