I highly recommend the Mongolian with Beef or the Spicy Mint Leaves with Chicken (mild spicy, regular spicy is very hot). The only downside... It's in a rough area, a lot of ghetto stuff, panhandling, and road rage happening around. Also, the parking lot is terrible. Other than that, it's great, I love Coco Hut Thai Food.

Queens Burgers - Pacoima 12731 Osborne St, Pacoima Hamburger • $

“I stopped by here this morning to get a breakfast burrito. I looked at their menu beforehand on their website and instagram page. So I knew I wanted a steak breakfast burrito. They were not busy at all and I was able to park in the front, just know if you do park in the front then it might be harder to exit because Osborne is a busy street. I ordered from their outside window since it said to order there. The older man working took my order and asked if I wanted chesse. I asked if it was extra and he said it's included so I did. It didn't take long for my burrito to come out, like maybe 5 minutes. When I got home, I ate it and thought it was okay. There not much flavor to the steak and the salsa wasn't my favorite. I had Pico de gallo at home so it helped out a lot to making it taste better. You also get more potatoes than steak in the burrito so maybe next time, I'll try their burger instead since my friend speak highly of this place.

Parking: They have some parking in the back and it shares the plaza with Vallarta.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly you're near a public street.

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible”

I don’t normally like nacho cheese, but for some reason the combination of cheese with the nacho cheese they use is absolute perfection.
I usually order extra jalapeños and extra meat. Worth it to me. But just as tasty without the extras.
I’ve never tried anything else from here, but the nachos will keep me coming back again and again.

The one downside is there is no public restroom.

Tacos El Canelo 11555 Glenoaks Blvd # G7, Pacoima Mexican • $

“This place was good for for tacos and cold brewskis. The shared parking lot isn’t very big so large groups might have issues finding parking in the same lot. There was a few transients near by which made you feel a bit uneasy but there was no incidents with them. The staff were as friendly as they could be. If you’re in the area I’d check them out.”

Don chon menudo 13302 Filmore St, Pacoima Mexican • $

“The menudo is good, nothing extraordinary. There's limited parking and only outside seating. Just a small hole in the wall but with limited options on this side of town I guess you gotta take what you get. It's not cheap either.”

Birria Estilo Zacatecas 11408 Herrick Ave, Pacoima Mexican • $

“This place absolutely slaps. I wasn't able to communicate well because my Spanish is bad but the lady behind the counter was very patient. This birria is absolutely incredible, the meat is moist and the tortillas were so soft!!! Extremely flavorful and the Red sauce has just the right amount of heat. This place will definitely be a regular haunt. Highly recommend!!! ??”

Queens Burgers - Pacoima 12731 Osborne St, Pacoima Hamburger • $

“I stopped by here this morning to get a breakfast burrito. I looked at their menu beforehand on their website and instagram page. So I knew I wanted a steak breakfast burrito. They were not busy at all and I was able to park in the front, just know if you do park in the front then it might be harder to exit because Osborne is a busy street. I ordered from their outside window since it said to order there. The older man working took my order and asked if I wanted chesse. I asked if it was extra and he said it's included so I did. It didn't take long for my burrito to come out, like maybe 5 minutes. When I got home, I ate it and thought it was okay. There not much flavor to the steak and the salsa wasn't my favorite. I had Pico de gallo at home so it helped out a lot to making it taste better. You also get more potatoes than steak in the burrito so maybe next time, I'll try their burger instead since my friend speak highly of this place.

Parking: They have some parking in the back and it shares the plaza with Vallarta.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly you're near a public street.

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible”

Tacos El Gordo 13236 Paxton St, Pacoima Mexican • $

“06/06/2025

I came here out of curiosity and saw their breakfast burrito and it looked good. I ordered the same thing and I was not disappointed. It was as good as it looked and it didn't cost much. For $13 it was a great deal. It has Chorizo, cheese, steak, egg, pico de gallo, onions, and they also have avocado salsa. I will come back and try their other stuff and I recommend this place for someone who loves to eat Mexican foods.”

Tacos Charly #2 10690 Laurel Canyon Blvd, Pacoima Mexican • $

“Best carne asada nachos I’ve ever had. I drive up from San Diego county just to eat these while pregnant (and before). I crave them like nothing else.
I don’t normally like nacho cheese, but for some reason the combination of cheese with the nacho cheese they use is absolute perfection.
I usually order extra jalapeños and extra meat. Worth it to me. But just as tasty without the extras.
I’ve never tried anything else from here, but the nachos will keep me coming back again and again.

The one downside is there is no public restroom.
And note: it’s cash only.”

“My friend and I were stressed about needing a place to work with our laptop and grab a quick bite.

The team here (esp Jeff and Eneida) showed so much kindness and patience. And the food was so yum. Grateful for the group here - really solid team that made our stressful day a lot better. Very efficient, organized and kind.

12/10 experience and bigger Panda Express fan now”
