“Ricas enchiladas la birria y por supuesto los huchepos 👌👌👌”

“good test 👌 good service”

“amazing coffee .... my first time there... atmosphere wonderful .”

“tallarines verdes, papa a la huancaina”

“WOW! I was getting a little impatient while waiting for my order, because it was “just a food truck”. But when the food was ready, the care with which they prepared it was evident. We had shrimp tacos, marlin plate, and ceviche. Everything was excellent! My wife said the best shrimp tacos she’s ever had. This quality food could easily be served in a higher-end restaurant.”

“A hidden gem in the heart of San Fernando!

Maria Restaurant / Restaurant Maria is truly a great hidden jewel in the center of San Fernando, California. The Mexican food is delicious, and the customer service is excellent!
I ordered the Chicharrón en salsa verde (pork in green salsa) — absolutely mouthwatering. My mom had the famous Menudo, and she loved it. Everything came with large, soft handmade corn tortillas — fresh and perfect with every bite. We also enjoyed their Café de Olla — I couldn’t resist having two and a half cups. Simplemente delicioso! ☕️
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and to top it off, there was live music from two well-dressed golden-age gentlemen singing and playing their guitars — such a lovely touch.
A big THANK YOU to Rafa and Adan for their outstanding and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back soon❣️”

“great food. great service!”

“Muy rica la comida y rapidez para atender”

“This place NEVER disappoints!!
Fresh, high quality ingredients you can taste!
Friendly and efficient service!
Staff always goes above and beyond to make sure my family and I had a great experience.”

“I love this place, the food is amazing and makes me hungry just thinking about it. The ladies working the front counter are very kind. 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.

Parking: Bad parking lot. Cramped parking spaces and high volume of traffic.”

“Omg love the food at this spot! I ordered a mojara and tacos de lengua Friday April 11 around 8pm, dude hooked it up too. The meat is fresh and the price is decent. The food reminded me of the good old times when my RIP dad used to take me to Mejicali to eat from the outside food vendors.”

“Huge portions and the food is bomb. Definitely great prices too. We'll be back! The orange chicken has a stronger citrus flavor than other places but its good!”

“09/20/2025

I was here often around the end of 2019.
I remember they used to have good chicken wings. I haven't been here since then untill today, and I won't be here maybe for years atleast since I eat almost everywhere.

By the way... if you're on a budget, this place is a good place to eat. Their portion is generous and the foods are good. The Chinese lady who take your orders, scoop the foods, and charge you on the register has been very nice everytime I visit this place, doesn't matter how long she hasn't seen me, she's always kind.”

“Delicious!!!! Best pad thai I’ve had in a looong time. We also had chop suey and pad see ew that were great too. We did pick up and the food was still great. Thank you!”

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋”

“I am very happy to see this restaurant visited today because the food is really delicious and the customer service is very excellent. It will not be the last time I visit this place thanks to all the people at the restaurant.”

“Hidden gem of the LA Valley, great old school burger joint vibe. Fresh burger combo is like $12, can’t go wrong after work or when I’m heading to class!!! Love this place.”

“Fantastic huevos rancheros and torta de pollo! Great service and prices too! The tortillas were so good we ordered some to take home ? Knock on the side door to be let in.”

“Food is great, the employees are great...certain customers though, may have to do take out. Its not because Queens lacks space. Certain customers need to take their little worlds with them and away. Going back to Queens, burgers are pretty damn good. Fries a little easier on the seasoning, but aside from that, still good. Their pastrami not sure what it is, but its better than The Hat, IMHO. Plenty of seating and also eat outdoors. Been here at least 6x, was referred by a previous patient.”

“Amazing place was told about this place decided to give it a try an was not let down also burrito and 2 hard shell tacos 13$ 😀 an theybwere even nice to bring me water when I asked will definitely come again”

“Best pupusas in Arleta, I recommend the gallina asada soup (delicious), sopa de res and the sopa de pata. Also the mojarra frita if you want to eat well and have real nutrients come here. It's a nice place to eat there as well they have a nice patio in front of the road where you can relax. 🫡 Estelitas Forever!”

“Pollos 🐓 al 1000 reconmedados”

“love everything food is the best”

“delicious food and awesome service! recommend 💯 %”

“Everyone has something to complain about but this place is hands down the best taco place and they don’t own a truck yet , I come down from Santa Clarita any day to get them burritos ? and ? tacos ! I love spice and their salsa is messy but hey no mess no game ! There drinks are as well delightful! line can be long but moves fast , there not cocky with the meat like other places . always friendly to me & my friends of all race ?”

“Got a scrambled eggs burrito with avocado. Very tasty, even though a couple people working there were surprised it was on the menu. The sign out front said they had champurrado (similar to hot chocolate), but they didn’t actually. The burrito was the perfect vegetarian option, the beans were whole, which indicates no lard was used. I loved watching and smelling the corn tortillas being made in the main seating area, it seams like a popular spot for handmade tortillas. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean And tidy. Overall a positive experience. I recommend speaking in Spanish.”

“Delicious carnitas and cueritos! Hand made tortillas 😋 their pico de gallo is so good but so spicy! So if you're not sure on the spicy, make sure to ask for it on the side!”

“The shrimp ceviche I had on a tostada was really delicious and I tried my friends Botana de Camarón on a bed of fries that was bomb also with the house sauce ?

Parking: It's a Richie Valens Park what do you expect. Lol ?”

“Great little place.
I visited on a Sunday, and it was raining but I still don't understand why it was empty.
I sat out under the covered patio. It was quaint and clean. The ambience was pleasant. They even had little heat warmers cooking for warmth. The pool table was unexpected. THEY had a large screen TV. playing a modern movie in English. The food is good. A little bit pricey but everything is these days. I like it. I'll be back and I hope others follow my advice. I believe they're trying and they deserve a little more customer clientele for their efforts. You should check it out. Just a little bit down Van nuys from San Fernando road.Two young ladies, that were very sweet, will be there to greet you. Enjoy ...”

“I’m pregnant. And Holly Molly did this hit the spot!! Absolutely delicious and flavorful!! Roster jalapeños actually had a kick to them. We order the king kabob and the pork kabob, both exceptionally awesome. The staff friendly and lovely. I have found my favorite kabob place. From my unborn child & me— THANK YOU Antonio’s tacos and kabob!

I couldn’t wait to finish my food to post. It’s was that good!”

“They are just the best👩🏼‍🍳 not even Carrillo’s tamales come close 😁 I tell all my relatives, from Palmdale Lancaster,😁”

“Muy buena atención y muy rica la comida 😋”

“Dank. I got a juicy carne asada burrito, and my friend asked the chef for quesabirria tacos (even though they weren’t on the menu). The chef hooked her up anyway, which was super nice - and a total testament to how fire this place’s food is. Great authentic Mexican gem in the area.”

“Best place for food in Pacoima. When you come here, order oreo shake, and pastrami chili cheese fries. for the next morning, make sure you get a chorizo breakfast burrito. my favorite place for food.”

“real mexican food. good flavor. workers friendly.”

“🍧 La Michoacana – Traditional Ice Cream Shop

Authentic Mexican-style popsicles and ice cream… just the way they should be!

“Pupusas are great ... I was going to carrusel because of ready made pupusa.. the quality is horrible... Suchitlan are great just have to eatit a little bit but worth it”

“de lo mejor pacoima,vengan a casa Jalisco restaurant, muy buen servicio”

“Amazing customer service from Cheryl and Joy. They answered all questions with great knowledge and very polite and through. The food were very fresh and really delicious. The lechon was still steaming when we were chopping it. The lechon was so crunchy and tasty. Delivered on time. Definitely worth your money. I will order from this place again.”

“This has been a place I've been to often and multiple times with family and friends, it's also a sense of comfort, the people there are very friendly and nice, the food is delicious. Overall I've been here for years and I always leave satisfied.”

“I've been eating here for 30 years and the quality is still the same. Go try their tacos asada. Eat there and they give you a side of chips and beans for free on your taco plate. Also, try the cheeseburger It's delicious..”

“This restaurant is unquestionably one of the most attractive restaurants in the area. Always when I go there I am truly satisfied. They hold their very high standard service and the highest level of food they provide. You no doubt will love this restaurant. Warmly recommended.”

“Super deliciosos, los mejores tacos estilo D.F en Los Ángeles, CA sus salsas exquisitas”

“Simple ice cream shop. I dropped my precious mint chip ice cream like a child in front of the man serving us and we both broke out laughing. He refilled my cone free of charge.
Good ice cream and a hardy laugh is what I call a successful Sunday morning 😂”

“* bring cash!!!!
Imagine your grandma opening up a restaurant and has been working for 52 years! This place would be it. Great traditional Mexican food. Everything is made fresh. tortillas made on the spot you can hear the masa getting its flat form. Did have to wait but food is definitely worth it. Has some parking in the back. Highly recommend!!
ESP= Si quieres comida mexicana o tienes cruda ven a comer aquie el menudo es el mejor!!!”

“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!!! ??”

“I just ate the best donut I've ever had in my life. Krispy, Winchell's, and Dunkin have nothing on this place. Check it out if you're in the area. Friendly service and amazing goodies. Big thumbs up?”

“Food is delicious, best chilaquiles in the SFV Hands down nice and crispy & spice is real! Third time there and still not disappointed by anything I’ve tried! Definitely will be going back with friends/family!”

“Small place with pastries, cakes, and cookies. Also has Masa for Tamales with a reputation that says "worth the drive." Try the cheese rolls. They're delicious!”

“Was skeptical coming in, but now that I did, I was missing out. The food quality is amazing. Can't think of another place like this. Expect humble and casual which for the prize is expected. Can't stop talking about the food quality and flavor, it beats almost all places out there. Extra stars because my mom loves it too! Caldo de gallina is her favorite, and pupusas mixtas I ordered where delicious and perfect size!”

“I love this place and I like the service that the waitress Paty always offers me...........the others are very bipolar ..and the one who charges the same has his consent and besides he does not charge them he lets them pass for free...”

“It was the best experience, The quesadillas are delicious 😋 Chicken tamales, also the food is amazing I was in North Hollywood location. I totally recommend this place for any one who wants to eat a real Salvadoran tasting food”

“Good place to go and buy Raspados. Variety of flavors.

We bought 2 Chamangos, 2 bubble gum and one leche con fresa and lechera.

All pretty good. The prices were semi fare.. i would come back again to buy raspados.

The parking sitiation is horrible no parking other than street parking. And you have to stop traffic to park. The place could use a sweep and counter clean up.. has many tables with high chairs. May not be disable friendly. But overall a nice place.”

“Now this place here is amazing I love it I try to go every day now I haven't tried everything but will my favorite platanos con frijol y crema "delicioso" the waitress was respectful and very professional plus she was beautiful. I didn't get her name I will next time the spot itself is nice bar is a place you can watch sports and have a few drinks (responsible of course) til next time my friends”

“Without Coffee my life would be sadly full of tea and sympathy. Starbucks makes me feel like a Star to the tune of about $3,000 happily spent bucks a year. But I wouldnt go anywhere else.”

“I love the food here. The Mojarra Frita is my favorite! Their pasta salad is amazing. Their enchiladas are delicious and so are their tacos. Tiny restaurant in a small shopping center and they cook with care. You can taste it.”

“buen ambiente. ... preferido de casi todos”

“Amazing food at amazing prices. The menudo is perfectly spiced, the pupusas are large and really well cooked. I love the first crunchy bite into a cheesy, flavor-laden pupusa, and this certainly was no disappointment.”

“Ricas enchiladas la birria y por supuesto los huchepos 👌👌👌”

“Tonight I ordered the Carnitas Fiesta burrito and the Chori-queso. Both so good. 🩵 Been coming here for 3 years and it’s still my favorite spot in GB to get authentic Mexican food. The drive thru is super convenient, too! Everyone is super friendly. 10/10 recommend!”

“Tha food is good but prices are higher than other places., by the way my favorite plate is Costillas rojas and the micheladas are good taste. If you like spicy I recomend it.”

“The food is delicious here! I especially recommend the pupusas revueltas! Even my picky kid loves eating here, it’s her favorite restaurant! She loves the chicken tenders and fries, and the pupusas revueltas. The caldo de camarón was also delicious. Definitely recommend you dine in for the best experience! I get the empanadas de leche for dessert and they are always delicious. Love!!!”

“Today 5/9/24 I had a really bad experience at this location. One crazy customer came was rude to Ladies she bought a sandwich and 1 hour later she came and told cashier she wanted her money back that her sandwich wasn’t good but she finished the sandwich and ask her for refund. She was mean and rude to the ladies. Please be kind and respectful with people who serve you. She used bad words to the ladies. ?”

“First time I have been here. Got invited by my friend and loved their chilaquiles. The red salsa was so delicious and I loved the crunch on the chilaquiles. Had their sweet pink tamale 🫔. That was also so good. I had to go back and ordered the chilaquiles again. Added carne asada and eggs, they came with green salsa when I went. So I think my friend requested to have the red salsa. They are both delicious. Will be going back again soon for another order of chilaquiles.”

“Well, the truth is that it is one of the few places that maintains the same quality...the shrimp tacos...the campechanas...cold or...hot...the oysters are delicious...well there is something to choose from...with that one authentic flavor”

“Been coming to this location for almost 5 years, mainly for convenience since I live down the road. They've always done a great job food and cleanliness wise. (Especially big shout out to the night/overnight crew! I see you guys work hard and do your best!) I felt the need to write a review now for the stupidest reason, but I ordered a quesadilla, and it was PERFECTLY cut! I'm so used to having to pull it and it falling apart, but this time, I didn't have that issue. I know, so small and so insignificant, but it made my visit. Lol You guys rock! 🌮”

“Fast, efficient, and great customer service. Especially cashier, Sophia. Always very welcoming with that smile (even with a mask, it's in the eyes) at the drive-thru window.”

“I have been to many branches of Subway and I am really impressed by this branch. It’s small but clean and the interior environment is nice too. Their staff looked like they enjoyed their work of serving customers. Paying attention to customers is very important and I give them high credit for that. Cheers!”

“I have to give this place 5 stars for how long it’s been around ! Yes the nachos are really good, but tacos are was over priced and few other items and quality has gone down so here’s updated menu! To be fair place is always clean also! And if you’ve ever had bad service well it happens everywhere time to time”

“Muy deliciosas pupusas y comida! Económico y muy bien atendido.”

“It’s very hard to find a good birria spot I been passing by this place for a while and seen a lot of people at this location so I decided to give it a try. This is my third time coming here and they have not disappointed me. I normally get 2 tacos de birria and a medium consume and let me tell you it’s very delicious! I would only trust my friends mom or my girlfriends mom when it comes to birria but this place does it right! I’m glad stopped by and tried it. And let tell you their red salsa is fire! ??.It’s pretty spicy and I love it! I saw some bad reviews but don’t let it stop you from trying it . Some review said they have a bad attitude but they been nice to me maybe it was just one of those day and plus the food is really good! I took my girlfriend today and she’s really picky when it comes to Mexican food and she loved it, the red sauce made it even better!”

“Just think that this is the best BK around!! Great employees and service and the food is fresh and no disappointment!!”
