“I had the breakfast burrito with bacon. I had orange juice and a hot tea. I think the prices were fair for where they should be. It was $18 overall for the breakfast burrito and the two drinks.

Food came out promptly, it was hot, and the bacon was crispy. They provided salsa with the breakfast burrito. The restaurant had a TV so I could watch the soccer game, which was nice as well. And they had music playing which helped the atmosphere. I would come back here and I would also recommend it. So, well done Lucky Star Cafe.“

“Have been enjoying their tacos for the past year now. Every time we visit LA, we have to come to El Chorizo for their wonderful food. We are especially taken with the Carnitas tacos, but everything we have had here has been wonderful. They have picnic tables outside, and it is really enjoyable food.“

“This was a great spot for Mexican seafood & molcajete. The tostada flight platter was great to try all the types of ceviche. Our favorite was the fish and shrimp ceviche. The octopus was decent too. The molcajete was the surprising favorite. The asada was grilled well and flavorful, the shrimp were great, the chicken was tender and juicy and soft, the chorizo was good and the broth was very good. The cactus and cheese and green onions were also excellent.

The servers sat us and gave us complimentary chips and salsa which was decent. They were very attentive and friendly. The margaritas we got were fruity and sweet but also decent alcohol. I liked my strawberry margarita.

The atmosphere is very chill and homely and lively. Seems like large groups come here to eat and drink.“

“I absolutely loved this place. The setup is just amazing! Keeping our Mexican tradition going. I ordered chicken flautas, everything was made from scratch! The best flautas I ever had! My taste buds wanted more but I was too full. I’m definitely bringing my family here! I already pinned it down. Also, high five to the owner, as I believe it’s a family own restaurant, the young adult that took my order has excellent customer service. I even saw a teenager helping by pushing a dolly while unloading some drinks. His not stuck at home playing games!!“

“The restaurant is always clean..

This location seems to attract a lot of the local youth who seem to always be in there whenever I go I guess because it's cheap and they don't have much money but you get a lot of the kids and skateboarder types hanging out inside..

There isn't much to say about the service because you order on the kiosk and all they do is hand you the food.. So as far as that goes, it's great..

The only complaint that I have is that when they're busy, they make the drive through a priority, and I always go inside because people are lazy and there's hardly anyone inside.. But I once waited 20 minutes just for 2 tacos 🌮

But if they're not busy, then service is fairly quick.“
