Found this little cute place after reading the review. My family and I just finished our lunch at a nearby ramen place but decided to grab something small to try. (Meaning we weren't fully satisfied with the ramen portions! ?) The owner only knows minimum English but she was super friendly. We ordered 2 of the combo of 3 carne asada tacos with a soda for only $4.99! Where can you find this great deal nowadays?! The food was delicious and even though we just had lunch, we couldn't wait to try it. The meat was nicely cooked and juicy and I loved the pickled vegetables!! The service was fast, but we went there around 2pm on Sat and not sure about how it goes during lunch time. Will definitely visit again with an empty stomach and try different food there.

First time at this hidden gem. When I first walked in I was welcomed by Rosalina. Very friendly helpful and accommodating service. I ordered the steak plate with a side of eggs. Steak was delicious not salty nor rubbery just perfect. The rice and beans were homemade, reminded me of my grandma’s at the ranch in Los Guajes, Jalisco. The salsa was spicy , I love the heat. This dive is a must try and I will definitely return to some home cooking. I overheard weekends she sets up outside her small diner with homemade tortillas and carnitas. Sometimes if were lucky she makes menudo and or posole. I have to come back to try .

These are the best tacos I've ever had, out of the thousands of different tacos I've had throughout my life. For me it is the texture of the tortilla and the flavor of the salsa and the carne asada, I ate 12 of them once ?

Ernie, his wife and daughter have created an awesome atmosphere to enjoy good food and fellowship. Try the 4 carne asada tacos and drink for 4.99, you cannot beat it. Chips and salsa cooked to order, fresh. My friend, Frank gets the hamburger plate, he loves it. Invest in this local mom & pop gem.Don

First time eating here. Got the carne asada burrito. The flavor of the meat is good but many pieces had fat attached. I'm one that gets grossed out easily so I couldn't enjoy the burrito.

Went back one night only to find out they closed over an hour before I got there. The nice owner refused to let me leave and started up the kitchen to make me her 4 taco special. I felt kind of guilty knowing that based on the price, there can't be much of a profit margin, but she still made me the special with a smile and enthusiasm. Honestly, it made me feel like one of my friend's moms was cooking for me when I was a kid. I dug through my wallet looking for cash but only had a 10. Of course she adamantly refused to take it and almost chased me to try to get me to take the change. I didn't. I actually wanted to leave her a 20. She's got a customer for life. Tip: the sushi spot next door has a really good omakase deal Trivia bit: the movie Friday After Next was filmed almost entirely in this shopping plaza.

Such a great family owned Mexican restaurant in Carson/Torrance. They have a great deal of 4 asada tacos & a soda for only $4.99. Definitely recommend this place. Gotta love to support small businesses

I have stopped by twice after having this place recommended to me by a friend. Each time I got the four tacos and a drink special for $5. I will return as the tacos are authentic and tasty. There is limited seating if you seek to sit, but I take it to go so not an issue for me.
