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

“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.“

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

“Just stopped by and had to leave a review right away!! This is the best mexican food that I have had in 10 years!! I had a wet carne adada burrito. Service was great we got our order pretty quickly and the flavors were out of this world. Seriously mouthwatering!!“

“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!!“

“Riquísima comida y excelente atención“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Clean atmosphere and great service!!!“

“Delicious food and variety of meats.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and great food“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Let me tell you about this place, are you looking for Mexican food, with delicious flavor, affordable prices and great atmosphere while dining? Ding, ding, ding...you got to the right place! They have an extended menu from just tacos to enchiladas, mole, chile relleno and carne asada plate. Looking for a yummy breakfast? They plates and burritos. Everything is made to order. They have a "Taco Tuesday" special, where carne asada, pork pastor, chicken and cabeza are priced for $1.25!! They also have Lent special plates with Chiles rellenos and Tortitas de camarón.

“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.“

“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!!!“
