There food is amazing and our go to for a few years now. Their Queso Birria Tacos soaked in broth are just to die for. But their Cochinita Pibil and Chilaquiles are great too. All of their flavors are just a step up from other places. 😋 The location itself has some outdoor seating and a window where you order and pickup food. It's a step up from a food truck but not so much for a romantic dinner. Regardless, hands down the best mexican food that tastes like mom cooked...

Delicious, authentic Mexican food, fresh ingredients, generous portions, all the salsas are muy sabrosos, friendly staff. Guac is fresh, shrimp are flavorful & perfectly cooked (not overdone), beans are really good (creamy & not bland), breakfast dishes are super delicious, reasonable prices. This place is a true find 💛.

I have been a fan of this spot since moving here in 2012. It’s the most taqueria-esque spot in East Hollywood. There was a bit where they kinda fell off (when they started opening more locations) in my opinion and the quality and service seemed different. Happy to report it seems like the kind cooks and staff are back along with the fresh quality. Their carne asada tacos are my favorite in town along with their Horchata. Keep supporting this small business and the little liquor...
