These nachos are the best! Open late and always tasty. They can get really busy on weekend nights. My parents have been coming here for nachos for 30 years and I'm keeping it going.

After a night out, we were looking for some Mexican food. I had this place bookmarked for awhile, so we stopped by here on the way back home. The great thing about this place is that it's 24/7! It's about 2:30am and the moment we arrived, the parking lot was full and the street parking was pretty filled too. I just dropped off my friend so she could order first and I wait aside. Moments later, there was a whole wave of people! So based off of my friend's ordering experience, she said if you don't know Spanish, it would be pretty difficult to order. She couldn't really understand him nor could he understand her, so I think she just pointed at the menu and just said ok lol. She meant to get the Nachos Especial, but when we opened the box, it was kind of like the nachos especial but it was with fries? She said a bunch of people also tried to help her order too lol So we ate in the car and opened up the heavy loaded box of cheesy fries! It was pretty decent, but this would definitely only taste good if you were drunk lol. The cheese tasted kind of cheap, and we wished the jalapenos were chopped more thinnly than just cut in half. The fries were okay, and there was barely any meat. Overall, this place is probably okay if there's nothing really open in the area lool.

Late night eats! I found this place while Yelping for tacos open late in the area we were in. Saw this was a 7 minute drive from where we were and it was open 24 hours! Awesome- really excited to get some tacos. Our group that night had somewhat of a big order and here's how it went down... I ordered an all meat burrito with guacamole, onions cilantro and salsa. I heard the cashier say something along the line of it being extra for am all meat burrito and extra for guacamole. I didn't catch what he said but looking at my receipt later, he charged me $20 for an all meat burrito plus $2.75 for guacamole. The regular burrito on the menu is about $11 and extra asada says about $4. To top that off, there was barely any guacamole in my $23 burrito. It was my fault for not noticing it until after we left so it's fine, but I feel like I should let other Yelpers know that if they eat here, they need to pay attention to what they're being charged. Someone else in our group got charged $1 for a cup of water in a soda cup, another person in our group got free water but in a smaller cup... The food was fine, I don't think it was amazing but I wouldn't say it was bad. I'd rate the food alone a 6.5/10 and the overall experience 5/10. They have plenty of seating in a well lit, outdoor dining area. Clean. No public restrooms.

Been eating here for years. Best carne asada burritos I've ever had. Live in TX now. Each visit back to LA I save to stop here and grab at least 6 burritos and the chile sauce (32oz) to take back!

Great place to go when you crave for Mexican late night, I drive from Lb to LA most of the time I get thee craving

The Carnitas are horrible and rubbery. They have no flavor whatsoever, dry, and sometimes burnt. Overall the Carnitas are a horrible pick here

Sooo... I came here on a whelm, daughter wanted tacos and I've had them book marked since forever!! Ordered 3 carnitas tacos with everything.. I love carnitas but these weren't that great! Upon leaving happened to peek thru the window and wished I hadn't :(- No the tidiest looking spot!! Hard pass!

The pazole was bomb the meat was perfectly soft the spoon went rite thru it. During lent they have capirotada which is so good!! Asada and carnitas are always on point.

I was there on Sunday. They had a big line. The cashier was not helping the customers he was talking to the coworkers that is not a professional that's why I give one star don't get me wrong. The food is really good, but they have to be fast in cashier.

We came here on a Friday night and I was told this was one of the better taco spots in the area. It's great as a late night spot because it's open 24/7. They have a very small parking lot with street parking outside. Walk up to the window to order and then get your food at the pick-up window. We ordered asada ($2.28) and al pastor ($2.08) tacos which were pretty good sized and came with onions, cilantro, and salsa. Between the two I preferred the al pastor since it was fatty. The salsa was very spicy and just a little too spicy for my liking. I liked that they had a good amount of seating and tables so you're not just eating at or in your car. They are known for their nachos and cheese but we weren't that hungry and I'm also more of a fries person myself. If you're out late it's a comforting feeling to know that this place is always open. They also take card!
A friend wanted to visit here, so we went. They have a small open dedicated parking lot that can accommodate about 10 cars, but the chances are they are full. There is street parking, but this is L.A., so you are at the mercy of the parking god. The restaurant has a decent sized semi-enclosed eating area (no table service) with metal fencing and doors. You order on the street side of the restaurant and pick up your food behind the metal door. My party ordered the Asada Burrito ($11.18) Asada taco ($2.28), Pollo taco ($2.08), Carnitas taco ($2.08), and Nacho Supreme. The tacos were decent, the burrito was okay, and the nacho was meh. With any dish here with meat in it, the chances are you are going to find tendon and chunks of fat mixed in, so don't expect pure meat. The nacho gets meh because the nacho cheese is more watery than usual, the presentation is poor (even for a casual spot like this), and the tortilla chips are mediocre. My biggest problem was with the cleanliness of the back of the house. When they got my order wrong I took them back to the counter. The lady opened the foil wrap to check, and her finger touched the taco meat and the salsa. Then she gave it to the cook and I could not see what happened to the food (it probably made its way back to me). Another lady was using a dirty rag to wipe something off of the napkin bag. Given the location and the overall quality, I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon.

The food was good very tasty and had great portions. The salsas were so good. Try them all, and get Carnitas is the best here. The service was super. The lady was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is ok nothing special and the bathroom is clean, have free parking lot.

Being a mom and pop place in the 'hood I had high expectations compared to what I received. First off change the name. I orders a carnitas burrito thinking okay this has to be their go to specialty it's in the name of the place. Wrong wrong and wrong all the way around. Took forever to receive although it was lunch hour. The carnitas were tasteless, mounds of fat, what meat was there was super dried out ala Mojave desert. It would have made a better sponge than to eat it. Disgusting! My friend got lengua and it was way better than their carnitas. Don't understand how a business has something in their name and it's the worst item on the menu.

Probably the best late-night spot to hit after a night of having fun in DTLA or even WEHO for that matter and a way to round it off. legendary nachos and open 24/7 in East LA nice spot. they have sit-down and takeout options. Everything here is good but my go-to is the nacho especial some people ask for extra cheese or salsa on the side it does cost extra but it is worth it. Everything I would say has a bit of heat which I love the salsa is a lot spicier than most normal salsa's as well so be aware. Other then that service is fast and good you can see them make your food pretty openly too so It's a nice joint.

The hot sauce is very spicy, and their extra crispy tripas tacos are perfect. The food comes out fast, and there's a compact parking lot available.
