“Just can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who work here. The food is great, we love the burritos, quesadillas, and don’t sleep on the frozen yogurt! It’s a weekly staple at this point. Love having such a great place with great people in playa.“

“Traveling and stopped for lunch with my Dad. My Dad really enjoyed his shrimp Shrimp taco salad but, I didn’t enjoy my Alpastor tacos. But next time I’ll try carnitas, because Alpastor meat had no flavored and the side off avocado needed salt.“

“We swim at this beach and we love getting breakfast tacos and burritos afterwards. This food is delicious! They have vegetarian options. Their salsas are freshly made and the habanero is muy picante! 🌶️ Add their avocado green salsa - it’s unique and delicious! Very, very nice staff working day and night.“

“El Chato Taco Truck:
A popular local taco truck known for its authentic, flavorful Mexican street food. The tacos are made with fresh ingredients and bold seasonings, delivering a satisfying punch of flavor in every bite. Favorites include carne asada and al pastor, with generous portions and well-balanced toppings. The vibe is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick, tasty meal on the go. Great value for money, making it a must-try for taco lovers seeking genuine street-style eats.“

“The food was delicious and the servers were all super nice and attentive. I have celiac and it was soo appreciated to eat at a place that understands and felt safe to eat it. They have a separate gluten free menu, cooked the food on a separate area, and have a dedicated fryer for the chips. Highly recommend!“

“The perfect stop right before or after a flight (or both). The birria and the soup are perfection. It feels so light without the heavy comatose food feeling. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they are all top notch! I can’t rave enough about this place. Best food truck in the LAX vicinity. The owners attention to detail and making sure that his guests are satisfied goes far beyond expectations. The food quality is amazing and it keeps me coming back.“

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.
This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.
The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“Great food and super chill vibe. We were a party of 6 at 4 pm on a Sunday, it was nearly empty at that time and they accommodated us right away. One of us had the steak fajitas and said they were amazing! The chicken and shrimp tacos are great, vegetable taco and chicken burrito were okay. The guac was super good too but the salsa was super spicy. Large portions and fast and friendly service! We sat inside but the outside area looked cute too.
Will definitely come back!!! 🌮🌮🌮“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“
“By LA taco standards, I didn't find this place special at all.
So weird that there are no cheese options for the tacos. Would be a game-changer if you could have melted cheese like Tacos Los Cholos.
Quesadilla con Chorizo looks better than it tastes.
Taco sampler platter, the chicken ones are the best.
The Jamaica agua fresca is incredible and my favorite thing here.
Playing really good reggaeton music (e.g., Peso Pluma).“

“This is a little place in a busy area with much more expensive options. The cost was reasonably, the food tasty and the service was very good. Nice little restroom 'way in the back' through the kitchen. Good job folks!

“Great authentic Mexican spot — super tasty and great value
Loved this place! It’s a small, lively, no-frills Mexican spot on Melrose — you order on a machine and they call your number when it’s ready.
The food is really delicious, very authentic, fresh, and full of flavor — not touristy at all. You can actually see the team cooking right in front of you, which makes it clear everything is fresh.
The vibe is fun and energetic, with loud Spanish music playing, which adds to the experience. Seating is limited (mostly counter seating), but there are a few tables outside on a small terrace.
We’re a French family with three children, and during our 4-day stay in Los Angeles we had lunch here and absolutely loved it.
Overall, a great quality/price ratio — highly recommended!“

“Due to their newly extended hours, open until 3am on certain nights (just what LA needs more of ), I recently discovered this absolute gem. Although I ordered to go, I did not call ahead, so the few minutes it took to prepare the food afforded me a chance to take in the authentic family owned vibe, the super cool and lively latin beats, the welcoming and hospitable Roberto who took my order and felt like a new friend by the time I left. The chicken tamal verde was heavenly, moist and easily the best I have EVER had. The birria wet burrito with red sauce was equally a perfect 10. I went back the very next night and got that verde tamal again, and a side of the verde tomatillo sauce to use at home. The potato empanada, and birria empanadas were fantastic. I can't wait to go again and try the many wonderful dishes on their menu, as I feel certain it's all going to be great. Having small family owned business with a truly great vibe and amazing food is what makes LA a great town. A gift to our community. Thank you Tamales Veracruz MRV !!“

“Quesataco is amazing!! So juicy and flavorful, it’s delicious every bite. Regular taco is delicious too if cheese ain’t ur thing but if it is, mulita is pretty good as well. Tacos are on the smaller side, so I usually order 2-3. If you are craving for dessert, their churros are warm and crispy! Highly recommend this place“

“Our. favorite Mexican in Santa Monica. Love the chilaqhiles (breakfast burrito with tortilla chips on it) in the morning, and the shrimp burrito for lunch. Liked the cerviche de camaron a lot, but will ditch the onions next time. The gent out front is extremely welcoming and the chips and salsa are great. Definitely worth a visit.“
