“Cemitas Don Adrián is a true gem for authentic Mexican flavors! The cemitas are incredible—fresh bread, layered perfectly with meats, cheese, and all the right toppings. The tacos de cecina are absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the salsas? So good! Each one adds a perfect touch, from spicy to tangy, making every bite unforgettable. The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food tastes just like home. Highly recommend for anyone craving real, flavorful Mexican food!”

“Our sandwich was amazing! The salsa verde was extremely fresh, the bun was toasted to a nice crisp and the sandwich was delicious. We honestly didn't know what to expect when we pulled into the strip mall where it was located in Van Nuys. We were pleasantly surprised and we will come back!”

“One of my favorite Mariscos places. The shrimp coctails are soo packed with shrimp unlike most places that give you 5 or 6 shrimp.. Both the Fish & the shrimp tacos are huge. They give you free chips and Salsa when u dine in and The salsa is so good I always go through 2 bowls! The service is fast and the girls that work there are super nice. Been going here for 20 years. It is CASH ONLY but the 711 next door has an ATM. It's also kind of small so it gets packed quickly depending on the time and day. Parking: This place is in a small plaza with many small businesses so parking is usually full but there's a lot of in & traffic so if you wait a couple minutes you should find a spot to park.”

“Most advanced taco truck I’ve ever been to. Walk up order on an iPad that’s playing music (+vibes), ordering was easy to edit my preferences and tap to pay, they have a menu with PICTURES of all their food (I wish every restaurant and food truck would do this it’s very helpful) and they call out ur name when it’s ready. Burrito was incredible 10/10”

The service was impressively fast without feeling rushed, and the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The portions are very generous, definitely great value for the price. I highly recommend stopping by whether you’re dining in or just passing through.

“The food is always good, and the staff is super attentive and friendly. That is one of the reasons I have never felt the need to speak with management about anything. However, I’m not sure if it is this restaurant’s policy, or if it is part of a newer way of doing things, but I’ve noticed that before we pay our bill, we are asked to tell our server what we will be tipping. If we are paying by card, it seems like the tip is addressed before we actually complete the payment. I have been here enough times to notice that this seems to be something only one specific server does. I have to admit, I dread getting her as our server because I find the interaction a little uncomfortable and, honestly, somewhat rude. I’ve never experienced this with any of the other servers, which is why I’m not sure if it is an individual practice or an actual restaurant policy. Aside from this particular interaction, I would honestly give this place a 10 out of 10. My family loves it, and I do too, which is why I’ve always just let it go. I’m only mentioning it because it has happened enough times that I felt it was worth bringing up. I really hope this can be addressed because otherwise, we absolutely love coming here.”

“The food is absolutely amazing, but what truly sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality. In In all my years, I have never experienced customer service quite like this. The waitresses are genuinely kind, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. While the food alone is worth the visit, what really captured my heart happened during one of my meals with my family. A man came in, clearly hungry, and offered the waitress something he had in exchange for food. Without hesitation, she was ready to give him a couple of tacos, and before she could, another customer stepped in and paid for his meal. That moment spoke volumes about the type of people this business employs. It’s rare to see such compassion and kindness. Businesses like this deserve our support—not just because the food is fantastic, but because they have staff with hearts of gold.”

“Ordered tacos w all.. dam they were hot as hell.. This place is awesome but if u cant handle the heat (not even sure i can) be sure to say no salsa on the tacos.. the chips n salsa is pretty hot too but very flavorful. There are taco vendors everywhere but i felt a need to support. Legit mexican food for sure. Especially if youre hung over.”

“Tacos El Bebé is hands down one of the best Mexican taco spots around! The flavors are authentic, bold, and full of love—just like real street tacos should be. The tortillas taste fresh, the meats are juicy and perfectly seasoned, and every bite makes you want more. The salsas pack the perfect kick, adding that extra touch of Mexico. On top of the amazing food, the service is quick and friendly, making the whole experience even better. If you’re craving true Mexican tacos, Tacos El Bebé is the place to go! 🌮🌮🌮”

“You want a good California burrito in the valley? Stop looking. Burrito PERFECTION. All the salsas. Apple Pay accepted. Hand washing station included. Ample parking and sitting space. The only way to improve this place is if the chef came and personally massaged my shoulders as I ate the food. Self reminder: the suadero is good, but the lengua tacos are my fav. You can ask for the al pastor extra crispy. The strawberry agua fresca is quite sweet, even for me.”

“Must try mexican location . Have tried the quesa birria tacos combo with homemade tortillas very cheesy and the camarones a la Diabla . Shrimps were cooked to perfection and the sauce was spicy and flavorful. Get the combo homemade refried beans and mexican rice and a side of 4 homemade tortillas. Recommend this family own restaurant 👌 . Don't forget the mexican soda ,Pepsi and coke. Great variety of food to choose.”
