“Stopped by to get some late tacos. Pleasantly greeted by a very nice family, father, mother, sons and their daughter. Not only are they a very charming family, the food is great. So far I tried, Tacos de asada, al pastor and cabeza. Mulitas de asada, al pastor, vampiro de asada and a vampiro in a mulita de asada. I will definitely stop by again to try more items from their menu. They've gained a new customer.“

“I’m a middle aged white foodie, traveled the world and mexico, and yep, this place knows what it’s doing! (If I may humbly say so ;) The green sauce on the tacos carnitas (the only thing I had), shows they understand authentic Mexican cooking. Lovvve that. Like this flavor is what you’d find IN mexico.Only thing I prefer is the carnitas more pulled vs big chunks but that’s splitting hairs. And the guy who owns it or at least works there is a genuine sweetheart.I have a nearby storage space so I’ve had to explore the area for food. What a gem discovery??“

“The food her is absolutely delicious! The prices are fair, the portions are great, and the salsas are divine! Their tortillas are hand made and everything is cooked to order. 10/10 highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Quesadillas, beans, rice, Aguas FrescasKid-friendliness: My daughter loves the quesadillas. They are always so full of cheese with the best kind of stretchy cheese.“

“We tried the location in Santa Clarita after bowling. I did know there was a location close to us. We were excited to try and see if we had the same experience. The restaurant was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was out pretty fast. The tacos de asada were great. Especially with the salsa. The birria quesadilla was full of meat the consomé was full of flavor. The Guanato fries were both delicious. I had mine with everything. My son opted to put the salsa as he went. The al pastor and chorizo did taste a lot like clove which I'm not a huge fan of. That wasn't the case at the Santa Clarita location. Other than that, pretty solid food.“

“Amazing food!! Great friendly service. I am hooked I have been getting my shrimp from MichexGod for a while now and it is one of those foods that you'd say "I can eat this everyday for lunch" the shrimp is big and delicious and the botana is full of flavor! From the lemon to the amazing sauces not to mention they top it with the chili powder, making every bite an amazing, sweet, and citrusy adventure that you dont want to end. The tacos on the other side are delicious and very filling. They also have taco Thurdays, so this Thursday make sure you stop by and take your tastebuds on an amazing journey. Service: 100% Taste:100% Price:$$“

“Every time I order I get the chicken meatball soup. It no joke helped me when I had COVID 2 weeks ago. . I didn't take pictures but it comes with . A side a ride and homemade corn Tortillas and the fixings to go in the soup . It's so. Yummy. I'll be ordering again from you “

“I've been having food here for as long as I can remember, always a pleasure to eat here and enjoy their food! I personally like their Asada, Tripa, Al Pastor, Tacos. Horchata is fire as well here. Enchiladas, and even their Shrimp Cocktails are great too!“

“Inside Earth Force Nursery! Beautiful atmosphere to relax and stay away from the noise of the big city! They host small events like birthday parties. My only recommendation is to bring bug spray and maybe bring a light sweater if you are the coldish type… Highly recommended!“

“This place is a hidden gem in Sylmar , we never knew it was there and and we went in one day based on a recommendation from a friend who doesn't even live in the Valley and we've been going once a week for a year now! highly recommend . Nice ambience, delicious food , the tacos dorado are our favorite and the service is fantastic ! Everyone is so nice and friendly“

“Food is delicious and price isn't too bad. Only issue I have is a recent problem. I come between 1-2 hours before they close and the doors are locked and people don't answer the phones. So if you can fix the hours of operation. It will be greatly appreciated. Will this stop me from eating here ? No. I'm fat and I love the food“

“Lives up to its name, fast and fresh! Located by the 210 freeway and adjacent to a gas station so its my go-to for a lazy weekend breakfast burrito! You can fill up your gas and your food should be ready by the time you're done. There's the option to sit in as well. And you can smell the deliciousness as they make it from scratch. Hablan Español y Ingles. Like I mentioned, I prefer the burritos. I had a regular breakfast (pancake, sausage, and eggs) which was unsatisfying, but I should have known better. My favorite burritos are the Works burrito and the Hangover machaca breakfast. They're huge so I usually have enough for 2 separate meals and they have great flavor. The green salsa they provide with it is *chef's kiss*. I would recommend their orange juice. So fresh! But they also make their Agua frescas.“

“Best tacos burritos tortas this side of the west. They have a variety of meat that won’t disappoint. They are conveniently located and are open from 5 till 2am. If you’re up late and are craving some delicious Mexican food look no further and enjoy.“

“We made this day a family event in this place and chef Ligia, since I contacted her, was very friendly, very cordial and willing to help with what I needed. I am very grateful, all my family who arrived were satisfied with the food, the service and the atmosphere of the place. Super recommended if you want to eat something freshly made, good flavor, good price and quality.“

“The food is good but the prices are a little high. If you visited the place before, it is no longer what it was, they no longer make the tortillas by hand and there is no longer a children's menu. The service was good, but not excellent. The place is nice and cozy. What I did like is that you have a view of the kitchen and you can see how they prepare your food.“

“Best menudo in SFV and the birria is also delicious served with handmade tortillas. I've also have had there tacos de chicharron en chile also bomb jayamitla always comes thru on these items never disappoints! As for the rest of their menu haven't tried cuz I always go for my usual up top. Ps. Don't forget to ask for their oregano !“
