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!!! ??“

“This place is a small little authentic place. Only has two people working the place. It was such a great find. We specifically were looking for menudo. They had choice of red and green. Tortillas were hand made. Service is a little slower but it’s worth the wait. The michalada was great and big! There was no kids meals but no problem the tacos were great and my son enjoyed them. We loved that there was plenty of room to sit. Parking is low but plenty of street parking. Will forsure be coming back again.“

“Don't let this little place hidden between the freeway and Laurel cyn. pass you by. It is easy to miss if you are not paying attention. But believe me, it is one of the cleanest, friendliest, big portions, the most tastiest food and fair prices you could find. If you want tasty food without the Carrillos Tortilleria cashier’s attitude and over prices; this is the place. Tortillas echas a mano and menudo are by far one of the best. This will actually be my 3rd time here, and no matter time or day, the staff is always happy and food fresh and healthy.“

“Super tasty Menudo ! Great tasting Pozole ! Walked right up to doorway where you place your order. English or Spanish or mixture of both is spoken. I went for the Ramen version of their menudo, it trades out the hominy for ramen noodles! They give you chop sticks! for your noodles! After ordering we sat out front at the only seating available which was a couple of fold out tables with bench seating. The order came with all the fixings you’d expect to come with menudo and pozole. Their homemade corn tortillas were very good as well. Horchata was fresh and cold ! Make the drive get here before everyone finds out! This place will be “TikTok Famous” very soon I’m sure of it.“

Service was quick considering the line. The personnel were very friendly and professional. Only minus? The outside needs a good pressure washing. Keeping a clean exterior would show customers both appreciation and respect.“

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.“

“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.“
