“Ima be honest and transparent as always this place atmosphere gave it a calm inviting environment. The service was given to us by the owner I would assume and she's also the cook. She was very patient attentive and very caring and helpful only downside is the wait was a little long, we were starving but still worth the wait. Without a question we will be back. Nacho fries were great chilaquiles on point my sister got a nopal and eggs she couldn't stop complimenting the food and she's picky. Flan delicious and the bistek ranchero was great wasn't prepared for the red sauce but gave it an extra kick and the pineapple agua Fresca highly recommend.“

“My first visit here was a great experience! The cashier was friendly, which set a positive tone right away. The restaurant has TVs placed around the dining area, so customers can stay entertained while waiting for their food. I also loved that they let you pour your own condiments on the side, adding a nice personal touch. The food was ready in just 10 to 15 minutes, which was impressively quick. Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially their Super Fries—they’re a must-try!👍“

“I was introduced to this spot by my parents who come to their taco truck Friday nights…and may I say it is hard finding great street food. But let me tell you these tacos were DELICIOUS!! I ate the carne asada and pastor tacos. The truck is very clean and visible to see the cooks prepping your food. Condiments and garnishes are provided up front. Grilled onions provided with no extra charge! Will def be the new spot to come for their outdoor service.“

“Excelente atención y ricos tacos de barbacoa“

“Food flavor is always a 10/10 I just wish the place looked better and had AC. They definitely need to refurbish. If you are in a hurry, order ahead so the food could be ready at pick up. My drive is 10 minutes and its usually ready upon my arrival. Take Cash to avoid the credit card/debit card fee.“

“the best food ever especially the menudo and best of all the michiladas. they are the Best....“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“So I seen a lot of bad comments on there Yelp!! Like really?? THEY HAVE THE BEST FOOD THERE😋 My husband and my kids love this place it makes us feel like when we go to Mexico the employees there are super nice and the lady that cooks makes you feel welcomed!! I love there Cafe de olla ❤ if you haven't had it you need too!! We always order our consome and tacos de suadero OMG they are the best!! (TRY THERE CHORIZO TOO) In fact I went there today and I love how everytime I go they sell more Mexican stuff in there market I'm just in love with this place!! I give it a 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because I can't put 6 stars lol😊“

“This restaurant doesn't have a menu, you need to look at the food behind the glass, or ask the attendant when it's your turn, you (have to wait in this "hole in the wall".) The soups are tastless, the tacos are big most of the time are good except for carne asada that is dry, but $5 for a taco is a little bit too much. I do not recommend this place.?

Parking: Limited and small.“

“The most delicious food I’ve ever had. The service was the best possible thanks to Carolina and Christina. Super fresh seafood in very large portions. The restaurant is large and comfortable with a counter bar. The best.“

“Cuando voy a Señor Alberto, yo soy el 👑 Rey !! Gracias Sergio y Staff“

“The meat at the carniceria is thick, fresh, and delicious. I got the ribs and ranchera. Definitely recommend getting your meat from here. They have carnitas, tamales, and of course the tortillas. I used to like the guerrero brand but after trying these, there’s no way I’m going back. No preservatives, and minimally processed. 10/10. The staff is also kind and attentive!“

“Deliciosa Birria recomendado al 💯“

“The food was delicious, but the service was slow and un-attentive. I want a hot mocha latte, and they gave it to me iced. I still drink it all. It was delicious, but I finished it really quick. I was waiting for her to ask me if I wanted another one Or something else but they just took my cup away and gave me water. I’m a sucker for being upsold, but they didn’t try at all. I felt like They were focused on quantity of people and tables they can Turnover.“

“King Taco is the best taco chain, without a doubt! This location is great, but service could be improved by adding additional cashiers.

The carne asada tacos were delicious as always, alongside the cheese and jalapeño tamales.“
