Visiting LA from the UK having never tried authentic Mexican tacos, these being not only the nicest tacos i had in the city but also some of the most delicious food I have tried, the Lovely Lady working in there helped me order a popular spread of Tacos, must try when you visit!

Better than Sonoratown. Service was good, just be careful when they ask if you want Guacamole because it's extra and they don't mention the price when they ask you. Other than that they have probably the best salsa bar in Los Angeles with about 10-12 salsas to choose from. The food is good and tastes authentic. Would recommend this place over Sonoratown

Simply divine! We found this restaurant by chance and we even came back a second time! I was able to taste some specialties not found in France like the cactus tacos which were delicious! We also tasted the pastor, birria and asada which were all exquisite, I must say that Mexican food totally seduced me in California... Don't forget to refresh yourself with a horchata, a barley and milk drink. cinnamon, a must.
