“I stopped by this evening with my sister in law after a Dr. Appt down the street when putting gas I could smell the cooking. I ordered 3 tacos and champurado basic of asada my sister n law ordered 2 de tripas and 1 lengua and a large jaimica. Wow the food was really really delicious like it was made from your home kitchen very tasteful. The service was very fast and they were polite and helpful. I am definitely coming back even though I'm about 30 min away it's worth it. They are located on Redondo and Vermount Gardena.“
“Finally tried this spot out a few months back and it's now a 3-4 visits/month kinda place for us. Food is fresh, hot, not greasy, and not over salted. Love their fresh corn tortillas, portions are solid, salsas are on point, and service is friendly and efficient!“
“Really nice waiter attended us. We came here because loaded cafe had nobody attending guests. It was a cute little typical hispanic place. Restroom is through the kitchen which is pretty unhygienic but whatever. Fresh ingredients and food was flavorful except for the eggs but overall solid. Pupusas were huge but I didn't try them.“
“Very delicious. I ordered the Chile Relleno, and it was very good. The sauce was hearty, and homestyle. Very nice quaint place to have a pleasant memory if you're not on the run. I took it to go on my lunch hour. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Very polite. great service, and great food. Look forward to trying more dishes! Highly recommended. Muy buena cocina, y muy amable el personal. Gracias por el buen servicio! Delicioso el chile relleno.“
“Always enjoy the food. The food is on point. I can't say the same for the cocktails. The margaritas are not very good, but I'm used to top-notch knowledgeable bartenders and excellent spirits. Premade margaritas are not my idea of a top-level cocktail regardless of how many plastic test tubes and other decorations you put in a glass.“
“We wanted some street tacos but didn't want to eat out in the rain so we found this place. Yummy! We ordered tacos de chorizo, suadero, buche and asada. Amd menudo. The tacos are delish! Perfect size (small) served with grilled onion and chile. They have the topings in a little salda bar. I was cold so I ordered a coffee which was really good tasted like Mexican coffee. The tortillas they use are soft and fresh. Very affordable ? we came back for breakfast the next dayThey're also very fast at serving your food. Cards are accepted with a very small fee. Marked this a favorite ?“
“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.“
“I've been coming here since I was in Jr high and it never disappoints. They are known for their chicken tacos and they are for a reason because they are bomb. I've had everything on the menu over the last 20+years so definitely put this place in your go to spot and try out there super burrito that ting can feed 2 easily lol I swear it's gotta be over 2 pounds but it is out of this world. Happy eatingKid-friendliness: The staff is awesome and friendly“
“I love Diana's. They have such excellent authentic Mexican food. Fresh and ready to order you can order for a crowd or just order for yourself. I love their chicken tamalese I always buy a dozen when I go there. I also has her fabulous carnitas burritos. Today I had hard shell chicken tacos they were fabulous it's a must try“
“Daily special was 9.99 and included one chicken taco, one cheese enchilada, rice and beans, and a soup or salad. Crazy amount of food for the price and all taste great! Service is good. Restaurant is a bit small. Great for a quick casual dinner.“
“I absolutely love their chicken, it's my favorite dish to order here. Rosa is so nice and gives excellent customer service. She checks on us and brings whatever we need with a smile. My Dad said his Camarones a lá Diablá was delicious but my roasted chicken was super delicious. Their homemade tortillas are fantastic. The salsa & sauces are the best homemade salsas I've had at a restaurant. I feel like I'm at my Abuela's house for dinner. I am a very picky Mexican eater and drive from the Marina to come here. The dining room has very comfortable booths and they are always clean when we come. Will be back very soon.“
“I love this place ever since I used to work at gardena and found this place I love it I come here often and just eat and chill the cashier are always polite and helpful like if ud be a celebrity and ud come here nobody would know ur here cus the place is so hiding u gotta know about it to know it exist lol but yeah! come eat wat u waiting for !!“
“we used their food truck for my bday party/housewarming party and they were the BEST! so delish. everything was fresh. they modified my request due to diet restrictions without any issues. they were nice, easy to work with and we will for sure be using them again!!“
“I've been here a few times but this was the first time in for breakfast. Omelet with smoked oxygen from the side. Super. Wanted to come back for some corned beef hash, however, two breakfasts and coffee for two $50 with tax and advice. Wow! Didn't come back for lunch. Too late, I saw a sign on the door telling you where you can park for free.“
“I always get the breaded shrimp plate which is so so good Tortas are also good. I recently tried sopes and tacos and I was disappointed. I didn't like the carne asada or the chicken. I will still continue to go for the things I like. Also the people that work there are nice and friendly.“
“After running an errand in the area, G's popped up on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking, G's was not hard to find. Upon entering, it was plenty busy for 11am on a rainy day (a good sign.) I was pleasantly surprised they offered $1.25 tacos for Taco Tuesday ! In addition, they offer this special on Thursdays and Sundays! I ordered two asada and two al pastor tacos. After ordering, I helped myself to the salsa/condiment bar which had many of the usual suspects (red, green and an avo salsa along with limes.) The tacos came out freshly cooked and were served on heated yellow corn tortillas. The meats were well seasoned and topped with onions, cilantro and red sauce. I've been on a taco crawl all over LA the past few years and these rival some of the best around. While scarfing down my tacos, I was looking over the handwritten whiteboard menu and noticed that they offered complimentary consome. How awesome is that?! This along with the fact I skipped dinner the night before prompted me to order two birria tacos which along with the consome totally hit the spot . Safe to say I will be returning again and again!“
