“Luis is absolutely kind, patient, benevolent, and will go the extra mile to help you choose from the menu by answering all your questions. He definitely has managerial communication skills, and character. The food is delicious ?. If you like spicy food, I recommend number 10 on the menu. Also, the mocha shake is pretty good.“
“After putting it off for a long time, I finally made it here. The girl at the counter was very pleasant and didn't try to rush us to place our order. I chose the DUI while my wife ordered the birria tacos. I was surprised that she preferred the tacos here to the ones from Tacos El Goloso since I find those tacos pretty darn slammin' but she said these tacos were milder and suited her tastebuds better. As long as she's happy right? I wasn't as crazy about my choice. The DUI was just too salty. Everything from the pastrami and bacon bits to the dog itself. There wasn't anything to balance out the sodium overload. I was glad I ordered it on the lobster roll though since the larger/thicker bun probably helps keep the ingredients together better than just a plain bun. I think next time I'll go a bit more basic with a house dog or elote dog and see how that works out. The garlic fries with the dip were very good. My highlight though was the churro. It could have been bigger for $3 but horchata whipped cream dip they provide you with is KILLER. All in all it was a pleasant experience and I'm more than willing to try something different next time. I really need to try the dirty corn or esquite next time around to see how they do with that. Parking in this shopping center can be problematic. Not that it's that hard to find a space, unless you're trying to park by the 99 cent store but the problem is this center seems to be the gathering spot for the worst drivers in Gardena. This wasn't my first rodeo here and I can testify that 30% of the drivers here are blind, high, decrepit, or stupid. Be very careful navigating this parking lot. If possible, park closer to the Bruddah's restaurant and avoid the loonies pulling into/out of Starbucks, the Habit, and the 99 cent store. They do not pay attention or they think they always have the right of way. The worst are the old people driving the beat up tanks from the 70s. Beware my friends, beware.“
“The food was delicious. I tried the steak, pork, and chicken tacos. My favorite was the steak. The steak was so good that I went back to try the steak quesadilla. That did not disappoint either. The only reason I gave the atmosphere an average score was that the place was very busy, and the table turnover was a bit slow.“
“I was on a delivery call out to Artesia and after driving for over an hour to get here I got hungry so I looked at my surroundings and as far as restaurants go there were slim pickings, but out of the corner of my eye I saw this Mexican restaurant across the street from the fast food place I was going to settle for.I'm glad I looked around because I discovered gold!I've been to many Mexican restaurants all over LA county and this one is in my top 3 from hundreds of others. The food is original and the flavors really come through onto your palate.I could taste the fresh chicken inside my enchiladas, I could taste the freshness of the green sauce, I could taste the lemon on the onions that topped my enchiladas, I could even taste which chiles they used for the hot sauce they brought with my chips while I waited for my food. Everything had its own flavor but it was a compilation of true freshness that can only be achieved when you truly value your craft and this amazing restaurant is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to honest, fresh, and flavorful Mexican food!If I lived nearby I would eat here 3 to 4 times a month.The variety of dishes gives you so many options it's impossible to repeat the same dishes in 30 days! LOL.I loved the atmosphere within his family friendly and I definitely loved the food.You can trust me on this, Oaxaca Village is as authentic as going to a Mercado in Guadalajara or a Fonda in Huatulco.Get here as soon as you can, you'll thank me later.Parking: A few stores in this little strip mall but you can also go around the building to find more parking.“
“Parking: Parking is difficult during lunch hour. I have seen long line of cars waiting along the street and we decided not to wait in line. They do have an attendant to show you where you are able to park， but to maneuver the car into the slot is tricky. The main parking spaces are behind those ruined car wash stalls. With that said, their food is delicious, and the portion is generous.“
“Before traveling to L.A. I googled best places to eat. Tacos LA Carreta was one of the suggestions. So after a full day of activities we decided to give it a try. Thank goodness we did! Best Tortas and tacos I ever had!! We will definitely make this a go-to for sure.“
“This was my first time eating here, and I wasn't sure what to order. They let me sample the chicken and the beef birria. It was very good. The meat is tender and they have great prices. When your in town, stop here, you will be happy that you did.Vegetarian options: Beans, rice and they serve ramen. You can customize and leave the meat out if you want. Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“
“By far the best califries you can get and the best churros.Califries are amazing cause you can pick 2 meats.They have a wonderful bean and cheese burrito. I enjoy that they have pickled carrots and jalapeño, beans, cucumber and a variety of salsas.“
“My friend came from Tijuana to visit me ??♂️ and we found this amazing place?? NEW LOCATION, the food is amazing, VEGETERIAN NO PROBLEM i was really happy with the food, service is very friendly and they speak spanish tooI highly recomend this place?IOVE IT“
“I cater for and event at home carnitas combo and wow ? there where exelen. since the moment I call it there where so helpful there way I payed the invoice was easy and secure. The people working at the restaurant had a positive attitude when I pull up to pick up my order and helpful explaining my order. All my guest where asking who made the carnitas stilo michoacan so I pass on the information of the restaurant. I will recommend this place ?“
“I have been coming to Joliza's since they opened and I am pleased to say they still have excellent food and service. Had the beef cheek tacos with an horchata today, but I've tried everything on the menu. Tacos were packed with juicy meat and the horchata was so creamy. The owner topped off my horchata while I was eating, which was so nice. It's little service touches like that that keep me coming back. Tho tbh I think I'd still go back if they were rude because that's how tasty it is.“
“One of the Best Al pastor in town!Corn tortillas are made on the spot, huge al pastor meat roasting on the spot. I love all their green & red salsa, red salsa def have a kick, but it's good if you like it spicy. Their burritos and quesadillas are also good, huge! Great service, friendly staffs, line goes by pretty quickly, just be patient, worth the wait.They take cash & zelle.Follow on IG to get updated times and locations through out so cal.“
“After running an errand in the area, G's popped up on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking, G's was not hard to find. Upon entering, it was plenty busy for 11am on a rainy day (a good sign.) I was pleasantly surprised they offered $1.25 tacos for Taco Tuesday ! In addition, they offer this special on Thursdays and Sundays! I ordered two asada and two al pastor tacos. After ordering, I helped myself to the salsa/condiment bar which had many of the usual suspects (red, green and an avo salsa along with limes.) The tacos came out freshly cooked and were served on heated yellow corn tortillas. The meats were well seasoned and topped with onions, cilantro and red sauce. I've been on a taco crawl all over LA the past few years and these rival some of the best around. While scarfing down my tacos, I was looking over the handwritten whiteboard menu and noticed that they offered complimentary consome. How awesome is that?! This along with the fact I skipped dinner the night before prompted me to order two birria tacos which along with the consome totally hit the spot . Safe to say I will be returning again and again!“
“Everything here was chef’s kiss! My visit was in person and I ordered the Beets Me Burger! The Beets Me burger was so delicious and I loved the fact that it was made from mushrooms and beets. The flavor was amazing and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. I ordered the Biscuit Bomb and through UberEats and it is The Bomb! The biscuit was nice and soft and all of the flavors paired well together. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup did not disappoint! I will definitely be back for another visit whenever I’m in this area!“
“AH-MAZING! DELICIOUS! Pleasantly surprised. Can’t wait to go back. I went with 3 friends and we all loved it. What’s not to love with homemade tortillas, steak, cheese, guac and PERUVIAN BEANS!! So creamy and delish! MUST TRY! You won’t be disappointed.“
“Nice little casual place to grab a bite. You order your food at the food truck window and can go into a separate building to sit down. Tacos were tasty and the best part was having different topping options, a couple salsas, pickled onions, Cilantro, Radish, cucumber etc. We were on our way from Orange County up to the Bay Area and wanted to eat quickly to keep driving. Glad we stopped here as it was really close off the freeway.Carne asada and al pastor tacos were delicious. Also tried the suadero but they weren't really my thing. Would come again!“
“Great food and great service. We ordered the Italian Submarine and Supreme Club sandwiches and split them between us. Both were delicious, served on warm bread with fresh ingredients. My partner said they were the best restaurant sandwiches she has had in many years. Way better than Subway or Jersey Mike's; no comparison.“
“Delicious food. Must try! Salsa bar is the best around and so is their food. Burritos are $10 right now and tacos are 2.50 each. Fair prices. Their portions are generous. Will continue to come back. Been coming here for at least a year or so.“
“Finally tried this spot out a few months back and it's now a 3-4 visits/month kinda place for us. Food is fresh, hot, not greasy, and not over salted. Love their fresh corn tortillas, portions are solid, salsas are on point, and service is friendly and efficient!“
“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“
“We have tried the asada, pastor, carnitas, and chicken tacos. They are all very good, but not what you might expect from a "traditional" taqueria. It's one hand made tortilla, a little bigger than normal the tiny tacos. It's not very greasy at all. All the meats are good, but the al pastor does have a lot of onion, and the chicken is adobabda.“

“The service and the food is top quality! The inside is just like taquerias in Mexico tabletop and benches. I don't know why we haven't been here before we frequent the shopping center. Didn't get a chance to take a pic of the food because we were hungry. Ordered a papa con asada, taco Sonora and regular asada tacos. All of them were delicious. But by far my favorite is the Sonora taco.“
“As someone from San Diego I always claimed our tacos are better but this food truck changed my mind. This is the best food truck for tacos and they are super affordable. every time I'm in LA I will make sure to drive down to Long Beach just to get to them fireeeee!“
“I stopped by this evening with my sister in law after a Dr. Appt down the street when putting gas I could smell the cooking. I ordered 3 tacos and champurado basic of asada my sister n law ordered 2 de tripas and 1 lengua and a large jaimica. Wow the food was really really delicious like it was made from your home kitchen very tasteful. The service was very fast and they were polite and helpful. I am definitely coming back even though I'm about 30 min away it's worth it. They are located on Redondo and Vermount Gardena.“
“Everything Made Fresh, The carnitas & chicharrones are my fave? Everything is Delicious Y las Micheladas Sheeesh ?? mouth watering Good??, An Those fresh warm frijolitos refritos with them tortillas hechas a mano ?? i can go on With all the Great food they Have Highly “
“Wow! Sunday live music 12-3 PM. Delicious mole sampler and pozole hit the spot! Great atmosphere! Attentive staff! It was even more special as it was Dia de Los Muertos season and they had a beautiful ofrenda display. This restaurant I will recommend to friends visiting L.A. A+ all around.“
“I found this place by accident on Instagram and decided to make the 3.5 hour trek to try it out. This place is absolutely delicious and tastes just like the caramelos and hot dogs that we get when we visit Magdalena de Kino, Sonora! I highly recommend you give this place a shot if you are looking for some authentic Sonoran food! The service was also excellent! I cannot wait to come back and try the menudo blanco!“
“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“
“I do not know you, have never ate their.I read on the news your kindness in helping an elderly woman being attacked and robbed. You were badly hurt trying to help a stranger. I wish we had more people like you!!Get well soon, and God Bless.Floyd“
“It’s been a few weeks since I have been here but I had forgotten to leave a review each time. The food here is really, really good. I’ve been to many local taco spots and haven’t found a place that puts a spin on a taco so well that doesn’t take away from the authenticity of a taco. Every protein option is flavored so well but my pick is definitely the carnitas amd the shrimp. Amazing food, Great customer service, all around great dining experience.“
“Delicious casual local spot! We got the enchiladas, tacos (birria were the best), tamales, and horchata. The owner was very friendly and patient with our limited Spanish. Indoor seating for ~15 and outdoor tables for ~10 people. Would highly recommend!!“
“Best taco and food truck in Compton, Los Angeles county period! Fantastic ? and great customer service, humble attitudes and very polite ? and most of all..... good prices for so much amount of food, you can't beat the prices anywhere.... plentiful ? peace to all cultures and have a great dayPositive energy activates constant elevation!!!✌️“
“This place is soooo good. I got the carne asada burrito and it was just what I was looking for. The flavor was so good and it tasted fresh. Personally I always need more onion but the flavor was still amazing. It was a quick grab and go bite as they take your order and it comes out pretty quick. Friendly front man. Just a small quaint shop near a neighborhood. Great grab and go bite to eat that's super reasonable and flavorful!! Will be there again.“
“Stopped in the area for a quick bite. I ordered 3 carne asada street tacos with onions & cilantro. The order process was quick since there wasn't anyone but a couple sitting in the place. It took roughly 4 minutes for me to get my tacos. It was really quick. I'd give the tacos 4/5. They satisfied my want for street tacos although the meat seemed a little dry. However, they did give me chips and the stuff that comes with birria, so eating the tacos with that was good! The ambiance was very casual. It looked cleaned in the restaurant and the bathrooms were also clean. I would come back here again if no other place was open to eat.“
“I am so glad we tried this restaurant instead of going to our usual spots. This is going to become one of our usual spots now. The food is so good. We ended up getting 1lb each of four of their meats including the fish, and none of them disappointed. We hope this place stays and grows. Excellent food.“
“Evelyn is so sweet and she really does work hard and make the customers food come out fast and efficient. Alma always has a smile on her face and is so pleasant and accommodating and Jorge is very down to earth and makes the customers feel like family. They are a good Management team and their staff is so friendly!Evelyn is very sweet and really works hard to make customers' food come out quickly and efficiently. Alma always has a smile on her face and is very personable and accommodating and Jorge is down to earth and makes clients feel like family. They are a good management team and their staff is very friendly!“
“Hadn't had this place for a while and decided to try it again because of the flautas ahogadas. We placed an order to go for the flautas and a chicken quesadilla 8 takos and the surf and turf fries along side 2 aguas frescas a cucumber one and a jamaica. to start.... --the flautas ahogadas: Deliciosas!!!! they arrived warm and crispy. 3 very large flautas de pollo(chicken) well seasoned. the flautas were doradas (fried) to perfection, crispy as you bite in to them getting a wave of taste of their delicious pollo(chicken) filling combining together for a magnificent flavor bomb. Served alongside side of repollo ( shredded cabbage) and purple onions, dusted con queso( cheese). A very well put together plate. Oh and don't forget the star of the show, the amazing sauce that makes them AHOGADAS-- finger licking good.. An excellent tomato sauce with a very lite hint of heat. All this Will definitely satisfy the palate of any foodie. --Surf and turf fries The fries were just good. The asada(meat) lacked a tad in seasoning, as well as the shrimp. After a few sprinkles of salt they came together well. The plate arrived very warm(that's a good thing) All in all a well put together plate. Fries were good and the natural guacamole was good too. The asada can use more seasoning as well as the camarones. **side note: this place offers "Keto"options, so i can see why the meats might taste more of there natural taste. JUST add salt to your liking.. --Chicken quesadillaThis pollo(chicken) did not lack in flavor. the quesadilla was ginormous(also a good thing) and was very very tasty! --taKosThe takos were of a very good size. 2 takos can fill you up. 3 was a lot for me.. --aguas frescas.. They were just OK ( for my liking)-i wanted them sweeter and tastier) I did make adjustments at home.. we had the cucumber one and the jamaica. The service was efficient and polite. Will definitely be back to try the birria stuff.“
“My coworkers had recommended this place after watching a Netflix documentary and let me tell you the story behind the restaurant is very heart warming. The food on the other is belly warming. If you come here the must is the carnitas tacos. Duh, simply the meat very tender and not fatty and the portions are big. I had two tacos and you can definitely make 4 with them and double it. The winner on the other hand I would say is the mafita. Pure hot cheesy mixed meat goodness. It's a giant carnitas taco with mixed meat with cheese. I don't think there's anything else I can say about this place. The other reviews speak for themselves but do watch the special about this place before you go. I definitely will recommended and come back to this place.“
“I saw on X a post by Giancarlo Moreira promoting Los Consomes so my hubby and I went to visit. The atmosphere and vibe was very welcoming and mama kitchen. The pozole was the best on the West Coast. My hubby loves the asada tacos. The food was fresh, flavorful and great portions. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward in bringing my in laws and family and co-workers.“
“Bomb mariscos. Me encanto! Botana el plebe is soooo delicious and well seasoned and the salsa negra is very very tasty and perfectly spicy. Must try this. I've gone twice and the second time was even better. Agua de limon was perfect. Addicting! My friend had a coctel de camarón and birria tacos, she gave it 2 thumbs up.“
“Let me tell you this was very delicious to enjoy. I normally have a very high expectation when it comes to Mexican food but this definitely hit that. I ordered the tacos, the chicken, the Carne Asada and their adobada!! I was so impressed by their chicken because it’s not easy to really pull off and it was really delicious. I tried there mulitas in adobada I straight lick the plate clean! Also had their Carne Asada quesadilla and their latte and they were so so good. I even tried their Michelada and it was scrumptious! service was super friendly. Everyone was such great energy. And the restaurant is beautiful. It’s clean very well. Decorated everything branded very well.Oh, and they even make their own tortillas!!!“
“Went here for a business lunch, had the squash tacos which were a very tasty vegetarian option. They were accommodating of our ~15 person group last minute, helping to move tables on the patio together for us. Got food out in a reasonable amount of time for our large group.“
“It's rather amusing that I worked about 10 minutes away from Top Shelf for 19 years and it wasn't until I retired a few years back that I finally made it here. I was across the street at Scottsdale quite often to visit the parents of "challenging" students but never realized a gastronomic paradise was waiting across the street. Man oh man, I had been missing out. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito wet and let me tell you, it was delicious. Not a huge burrito but a generous amount of food. The sauce was flavorful and I appreciated the fact it had just the right amount of salt unlike the majority of the other places I've frequented lately. It was the best burrito I've had in ages. My wife's protein bowl with shrimp met with her satisfaction and happily had a decent quantity of shrimp unlike many other Mexican restaurants we've gone to recently. I ordered the strawberries and cream dessert but was too full to eat it so it will have to wait until later. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. No complaints about service whatsoever. The shopping center has more than enough parking so that isn't an issue. I'm not sure I would visit at night unless you feel safe going into an area with its fair share of troublemakers in the area after dark though. Top Shelf turned out to be just as advertised. I only wish I had tried them much further back in time. I would have made better use of the time I had when I was working in the area.“
“I drive down Norwalk Boulevard every day for work, the banners outside the restaurant, promoting fish tacos, lured me in. After trying the fish tacos for the first time I was hooked, I look forward to having lunch every Tuesday for there fish tacos special.“
“What a fantastic Yelp find! La Taqueria Brand is well-deserving of their 4.5 stars!! First of all this place is very clean and has a nice indoor eating area and a nice outdoor eating area. You can come inside and order, order from the outside window or go through the drive-up window. They have an amazing salsa bar with avocado salsa, raw salsa, fire roasted tomatillo, habanero salsa, pickled jalapeños, cucumbers, pinto beans, grilled jalapeños and grilled onions - and all were excellent. On to the food. All the food that we had here was spectacular! The lady taking our order recommended the Canajillo Shrimp Burrito ($13.99) which is a hot flour tortilla, wonderfully seasoned Mexican rice, shredded white cheese, cabbage, pick de gallo, cilantro crema & smoked adobo mustard dressing - and it was out of this world! My girlfriend got the Lt Plato ($10.99) which was your choice of protein (she got asada), rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo & crema - and it too was spectacular! I couldn't resist the homemade Horchata ($5.50) which was one of the best I've ever had. She also gave us a Micheagus ($7.00) drink which was amazing. We also got their homemade Churros ($7.50) They were soft and donut like inside and crispy outside...and these actually were the best churros I have ever had - and I don't say that lightly, they were legit the best I've EVER had! I can't believe how good this entire meal was! I had to do this review right away because I do t want forget this place next time I'm in Wilmington. Well done La Taqueria Brand - we will definitely be back!! I really want to try their Birria Ramen ($13.99) which looks like a very innovative crossover.“
“We got breakfast burritos, sausage and machaca. Really good, and we both got chips and a generous bag of salsa, ketchup, and tapatio. The horchata is very cinnamonny, which I really love. Looking forward to returning for a non-breakfast meal.“
“This place has the best carne asada street tacos I've ever had. The meat has so mich flavor its amazing not like the taco trucks with no flavor and you have to drench it with salsa. The meat also doesnt have alot of fat and bones etc which id important to me. Also they have really good fresh pineapple juice omg. I don't really like going there because there's always people sitting in their cars playing music smoking and hanging out and it's like going to tj..kinda shady for a white girl lol but the food Is amazing. Nachos are good too:)“
“Parking: Location has 20+ parking spaces designated for the business structure. Fast paste/in & outKid-friendliness: Kid friendly, kid proof. The staff is super good and patient with kids, they even offer a Kid’s Menu!!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible!! You have multiple tables to sit at and can get through all the tables with no problem.“
“Awesome fish tacos (chicharrón de pescado, smoked tuna or Zarandeando). They open at 8am on Sundays and their breakfast B.E.T. burrito is delicious. They have several vegan options (bowls, tacos and burritos). Parking is easy, and there's plenty of street parking. Live music on Fridays afternoon. Great for kids and also pet-friendly.“
“12/27/23 Just came here for the cookie butter biscoff shake. From Del Taco website:Creamy vanilla shake blended with Biscoff® Cookie Butter and Biscoff® Cookie Crumbles.I've been wanting to try it for weeks! Yep, it's cookie butter flavor alright! I ordered a regular size and got through half of it with no problem. I'm struggling to finish the rest of it. If you love the taste of cookie butter then I recommend this 10/10. I like it but don't think I would get it too often. 8/10.“
