“Love love love their carne asada torta and shrimp tacos. I also love their onions that they give with fried Serrano. Also their habanero salsa is to die for 🤤
This taco truck has been my number one option and the price is very reasonable.“

“Me and my wife grew up in the neighborhood eating here. We were celebrating our 35fth anniversary and wanted to relive our spot when we were boyfriend and girlfriend. It's been 28 years since we ate here so we had the La Indiana burrito since that's our favorite plate. Just like back in the day it is still good, we are going to do there nacho plate I'm sure that is still good.“

“One of the best garlic fish in LA County, Orange, Riverside, etc…. Delicious flavor and great size. Accompanied by salad and French fries; There is an option of beans and rice too. The place is very clean and tidy. The menu options are spectacular and I will surely return to try more. The service is very good too. The music was very loud and I asked if they could lower the volume and they very kindly did so. I was able to eat in peace. Thank you.“

“If I can give them 10 stars I would. I have ate here several times. They’re breakfast items, birria, birria tacos, Menudo (amazing) are so delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking of their food. It’s so comforting to eat here and the flavors are all so familiar to my own childhood cooking memories. I normally do not write reviews but I was so impressed with their food this past weekend. I planned a birthday party and found out they cater. I ordered their Birria beef package and it was beyond the star of the party. Every one of my guests kept asking who made it. It’s soooo good.
The beans and rice were perfect. They provide homemade tortillas de Mano that are amazingly delicious and warm wrapped in aluminum foil sets of a dozen. They include all the fixings(cilantro, cebolla, limon) and provided it in the most beautiful presentation tray where it’s easy for my guests to help themselves. They also provide salsas and the spicy birria salsa. I mean it’s Tuesday and my guests are still texting me where is this place.
Muchisimas Gracias Birria Suprema. Your food and service were the best.“

“As soon as we walked into Sabor de Mexico Restaurant, we were greeted with a warm smile from Nick, a super friendly young man. He made us feel right at home, encouraging us to pick any table we liked. After placing our orders, we had a delightful chat with Nick about the fascinating history of the restaurant, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The place was spotless, too! And let me tell you, the food was absolutely amazing—top-notch quality that really hit the spot. The atmosphere was just perfect, making our visit a truly memorable one.“

“I've been going for over 30 years and was so disappointed in their food today. I get that food prices have gone up and the portions are smaller these day. I like the smaller portions. But to serve a half basket of chips and salsa in a little dressing cup that my chip cant fit in was disappointing. Their delicious green salsa verde with piece of meat in it was so not the same taste and was not good. I dont know when and if I'll ever go back again because of the disappointing quality of food.“

“Absolutely legendary spot. Those who know don’t read these reviews so if you’re reading this you must be naive to how good this place is. Just stop reading and drive here immediately. There’s typically a line and it’s cash only but it’s COMPLETELY WORTH IT. This place is in my top 3 best tacos in LA, so you must come here and get the Special Tacos if you’re a local foodie. Now stop reading and start eating!“

“Absolutely fantastic!!! My wife and I had lunch here today and it was delicious. The salsa was fantastic. My wife said that the chicken in her tacos was the best she's ever had. She's from San Diego and eats Mexican food daily. My fajitas were fantastic with homemade tortillas.
Service was quick, helpful, and friendly. We're going back tomorrow (and thought about also going back tonight).“

“My hubby and I decided to grab some lunch and I was in the mood for chips and salsa. So off we go in the search for Mexican food. What we found was a gem!! It's an actual hole in the wall but with an OMG affect. The service was amazing and fast. We ordered our drinks (water and Orange Fanta)and some sizzling fajitas ( beef and chicken). My hubby and I shared the meal. The fajitas were delicious and a good portion. But the best part was the homemade tortillas. I was in heaven especially when I took a bite of my roasted Jalapeno. Yum'O 😋 And when I dip my chips in the refried beans... wow!!!! It's exciting to come across true Authentic Mexican food! Oh oh, we can't forget about the flavorful rice, yummy 😋 😍 If your ever in La Puente stop here! You won't regret it. God bless and happy eating 🙏 ☺️“

“Muy amables y muy rica comida 😋“

“excellent food, very fresh and tasty!!!“

“Casa Jimenez is a great place if you've got a modest budget snd a big appetite.

They have plentiful Mexican cuisine plates that all bring big flavor and big portions; and if that isn't enough, they even have an AYCE deal!

The AYCE deal is a limited menu of single portion entrees that you pick 3 of, per plate. Each plate also comes with rice and refried beans with cheese and your choice of a lighter albondigas soup or a salad.

Personally, with me and mine being foodies, we all go for the AYCE for the variety.

Each plate comes out hot and plated fresh, though sometimes the entrees taste like they may have been frozen beforehand (the beef tamale in particular).

If you want something fresh, stick with the carnitas and the carnitas tacos - that's what I do!

The singular drawback for us eating here is the food comes out slow, so plan accordingly!

tl:dr - Great eats, big plates, price is reasonable, the AYCE deal is great, give it a go if you are hungry!“

“Un buen lugar las meseras buen trabajo y la comida rikisima“

“I got a wet burrito with red sauce. It tasted good and would get another one. It was a tiny bit spicier than I like. Not bad, but my pallette it's a little more sensitive the older I've gotten. It's not the cleanest place I've eaten at but not the dirtiest either.“

“This place is so good! They have an extensive menu that includes seafood, soups, traditional Mexican dishes and breakfast as well as aguas frescas. We’ve tried the flautas, sopes, huaraches, tacos dorados, enchiladas, French fries and agua de melon & Jamaica. Their coffee is served hot and is very tasty. They give chips and salsa and the salsa is delicious. They get busy and sometimes it takes them a while to come around for refills but overall the staff is nice and the food comes out quickly. Since discovering this hidden gem, we’ve already been back twice and will continue to return. Also, their prices are very reasonable and the portions are great as well.“

“Great Palce I love ❤️ to go and have dinner“

“I really enjoy the food at Tacis Con Todo, the carne asada burritos are amazing. Plus the staff is really friendly and makes you feel like family.“

“Los mejores taquitos que recomiendo Rico’s Sabrosos y Deliciosos“

“good mexican food.taste home made“

“Amazing delicious authentic Mexican food. The flavor and seasoning is so good, was welcomed by the owner. She is so lovely and very attentive. Keep in mind weekends are her most busiest days out of the week. Her menudo and handmade tortillas are delicious. Her gorditas are even more delicious! I would recommend this spot for anyone wanting to try a Mexican dish.“

“If you like birria this is the place to come. They only have birria items nothing else. Birria tacos, birria tortas, and a lot more. If you are looking for any other meat you will need to stop at a different spot. Just remember to take cash if you come to this spot, they do take Zelle but cash is faster and easier.“

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.“

“excellent food, very fresh and tasty!!!“

“The food is great! The blue corn tortillas are soft and fresh. The salsas they use for the Huazontle and Mixiotes is so goooood! I go with a friend and he always gets the chicken huarache and he loves it. Last time, we shared some chalupas and damn... simple but delicious. Can't wait to try the next dish :) No frills place, though.“

“carne asada is Ahmazzing!“

“Love this spot. It's a combo Market /Restaurant. Food is freshly prepared to your desire and liking. The foods I have tasted here, such as Chicken Soup, quesadillas , frijoles, rice, sweet potatoes ? and their tamales especially the corn tamales have been nothing but delicious and yummy.A Family owned business. They have made many major improvements. To their decor and equipmentOh yes. The hot sauces are a delight.“

“I drive 65 miles to eat at La Poblana. Food is excellent, atmosphere is friendly with great service. Prices are reasonable for the delicious authentic meals served. Fresh homemade tortillas, cheese. Chili salsa is one of the best I've tasted. Highly recommend this restaurant 👍🏽😊“

“Excellent Food and Outstanding Service!

I had an amazing experience at this Juan Pollo! The food was absolutely delicious — the chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoned flavor. The sides were fresh and flavorful, especially the potato salad, which has to be the BEST potato salad out there.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was to my liking and served everything quickly with a smile.

Juan Pollo offers not just great food, but also a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and exceptional service!“

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“First time didn't go too well thanks to mother nature lol! Came in during the winter storm and the power went out before I could even order but I came back in the coming weeks and had the fish tacos special on Monday! 3 tacos for 6.99! Can't go wrong on that. And, the staff was cool and friendly. Definitely recommend this place.“

“This is probably the best taco truck I have eaten at so far. We have ordered burritos, tacos, tortas and fries. All really good and flavorful. The Horchata is also good. As for the meat ,we usually order Al Pastor ,carnitas ,cabeza,carne asada or tripas .They’ll make the tripas real crunchy if you ask them and that’s the way we like them. The price of the food menu items are really reasonable .We order to go but they do have a canopy with a few chairs and tables to sit down and eat .The condiments are always fresh. We usually fill up a couple of containers with green chili sauce .They do have red sauce also if you like it hot. I recommend this place, the food is always good.

Vegetarian options: None

Parking: Parking lot around the fence

Wheelchair accessibility: None“

“Excelente trato y buen sazón estilo D.F!!!! Definitivamente lo recomiendo...“

“Muy rrico y todo fresco delicioso y limpio lugar y personal muy amable y los precios muy razonables 🙌👍🌺“

“I love their food. There are only two things that bother me the idiots that constructed the car wash, the exit is right by their drive-thru. They gave the little restaurant no consideration whatsoever. The food is great. They screwed up my order one time I took my order back, and they comped everything. This restaurant Stands by their food. I totally recommend this place“

“Delicious sea food and micheladas at a great price!“

“Esta muy sabrosa comida me encanto se las recomiendo k ballan y prueven esta deliciosa comida“

“Bob’s Burgers is one of my favorite local spots. I work around the corner and usually order the 3‑egg breakfast with hash browns and toast—it’s a great deal at $9.99 and always hits the spot. I’ve also had the Avocado Burger, which was delicious. I always dine in because the atmosphere is relaxed, the TV is usually on during lunch, and the staff—cashier, owner, and cooks—are consistently friendly and kind. They’re attentive, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular. Highly recommend stopping by.“

“awesome and yummy better then any“

“Food is delicious, and the workers are super nice and personable. They also bring water out to my dog on the patio. One of my favorite dog friendly locations. Come one come all. As a man who cooks for a living, i truly appreciate the effort and time they put into it all.“

“Me encanto muy amable elpersonal“
