“I have to say, for the price that they sell their food at, and with the portion size and flavor, this place is definitely worth trying. I stopped by here on my way home once because I've never had their food before. I saw they had loaded fries and knew I had to try it. Today when I went, the place looked very clean, and the people who were sat down and eating looked very content with their food. The man who took my order was very nice. He was quick to go help back in the kitchen and help prepare/package my order and a different order as well. I didn't have to wait a very long time since the restaurant was fairly quiet. When I got home, I noticed there was a complimentary small bag of chips and pico de gallo. They were super tasty, and the pico de gallo had a little kick to it and very flavorful! The loaded fries themselves were also full of flavor, with the jalapeños on top adding a good amount of spice. I wish they would add more cheese, and I usually don't like loaded fries that have regular shredded cheese instead of the melted nacho cheese, but these were really tasty even without that! I just couldn't be mad with what I received, especially because the asada meat I got on top was also flavorful, which can be rare to find at other places that have loaded fries. Everything was really great, and I can't wait to come back here again!“
“I love Trejo's Cantina! Both the food and drinks here are so goooood! You can't go wrong with one of the margaritas but they also have a variety of well made and strong drinks. Plus a beer menu, too! Seating is at the bar or booths. There's usually only one or two waiters running around, but service is pretty quick. If you're a fan of Danny Trejo, you'll def love all the merch for sale. One of my friends from out of town bought a shirt and she loved the novelty of all the branded stuff they have. On this last visit, I had a frozen strawberry margarita, which was absolutely delightful. It also kept me from drinking too much because the slush was so thick it took me a while to drink it all, lol! I also had the Spicy Shrimp Bowl. It was smaller than I expected, but actually ended up being plenty of food. The shrimp was really good, but I added a bit more hot sauce because I like it spicier. My husband got the Spicy Shrimp Burrito and fried chicken taco. He saw that there were a bunch of fried chicken items so wanted to try it. It was a good choice. The batter tasted so good and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Really tender. Everything was delicious and we left very satisfied! Oh and avoid the parking lot. It's usually valet and just very limited in general. There's plenty of street parking around.“
“We went to Melody for their pop-up and tried all three tacos they had for $3 each on Taco Tuesday. Great price for such high quality ingredients! Would definitely eat again!Potato Taco: 5/5This was the surprise winner! Such good flavors!Fish Taco: 4.5/5A solid and flavorful fish taco! My tiny critique is that I wish there was a bit more fish.Barbacoa: 2.5/5Meat was cooked well but it was not as flavorful compared to the other two - would not get again and instead would replace my third taco with the fish or potato!“
“We were visiting Beverly Hills and went to Rodeo Dr. I wanted soup & we found this restaurant with chicken and rice soup. My wife had chicken taco and Berry margarita. We sat on inside by the outside open window area. The soup was a really big bowl, shredded chicken, flavorful and hearty! The chicken taco was bigger than expected and she enjoyed it!! The Berry margarita fruit wasn’t sweet and was okay, not great. Our table did not have place seatings & after food delivered my wife went to another table to get napkins. The server was friendly. The kitchen was on the side of dining room behind glass panels we thought was interesting. The restrooms were upstairs and not ADA friendly that we saw other alternatives.“
“In the tortilla paradise that characterizes LA‘s south-of-the-border food scene, hungry diners are left with many choices. Somewhere between the crowded gringo-magnet margarita cantinas, and the treasurable family-owned hole in the walls where immigrants are striving to cultivate their native pride, every once in a while we are blessed that true food magic occasionally does happen. Upon this crowded stage of opportunity, Alfredo‘s in Burbank emerges as the real deal. Boasting San Diego style food in Los Angeles, it’s made-to-order fast food constantly delivers quality. An attentive kitchen staff can be seen constantly slicing up fresh meats and vegetables and making their own salsas. The sounds of knives chopping against cutting boards ring like music across the dining tables in the lobby during mornings. Freshly made orders are then promptly and properly assembled while busy customers are often out the door within minutes.Having lived in San Diego myself at various times over the past fifty years, and missing its bountifully meaty burritos, I have learned that San Diego style Mexican food is an “it.” It is a “thing.” And Alfredo's has it. The carne asada is lean and generously stuffed into warm tortillas that ooze with the comfort of home. Their seafood burrito offers chunks of deep-fried fish with cabbage and a creamy sauce that simply confounds the taste buds. Crunchy and soft tacos also headline the menu and can be filled with carnitas and chicken, as well as beef. And the taquitos crunch in heavenly bliss as the warm beef in the center emerges to massage the tongue. Breakfast burritos come with machaca and chorizo steaming inside huge warm tortillas. The machaca is made with real shredded beef marinated in green peppers and onions. The chorizo burritos burst with the spiciness that characterizes this Mexican specialty. Accents include freshly made sauces and servings of spicy carrots marinated and softened in jalapeños and onion juices. Corn chips are freshly homemade, crunchy and mildly salted. Customers more glutinous than I are fond of ordering their chili relleno plates, as well as nacho platters doused in cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. And I constantly see the taco platters that look like large crescent ships bursting with cheese and sour cream while sailing upon seas of rice and beans.Another part of the success of Alfredo's is customer service. Behind the counter often stands Griselda, the quietly charismatic “mama,” whose gentle, affectionate aura subtly intones the connection between serving food and caring for people. She greets her customers with prompt efficiency and sees to it that every detail of every request is fulfilled quickly and supportively, while somehow always keeping her calm among throngs of demanding customers. And Griselda’s example shows in the service of other team members, who are also attentive to patron needs.As a regular, I’ve come to enjoy conversations with other customers that have had similar long-term relationships with Alfredo’s. The longevity of Alfredo’s in LA’s crowded Mexican food scene is testimony enough in itself. The streams of frequent customers and patrons of many ethnic backgrounds are a strong and resounding vote for the quality of this special little gem at the intersection of San Fernando and Burbank Boulevard. Architecturally, the building is shaped half like a taco stand, and half like a restaurant. Perhaps this metaphorically summarizes Alfredo’s special balance between fast food made-to-order and the quality of restaurant food prepared from scratch. And this is part of the magic that makes Alfredo's the “little taco stand that could.” I tell friends from all over the city that whenever they’re in Burbank that they should stop by Alfredo’s for a taste of Mexican comfort. For while there may be some things in life that will occasionally disappoint us - Mexican food never will. And Alfredo's is one of the reasons. Alfredo's is a star in tortilla heaven!“
“We liked it a lot! I went with my family, and all the dishes we ordered were very well served and delicious. We ordered birria, a fish fillet, some tacos, chicken fajitas and Menudo. Excellent service and the place is very cozy.I highly recommend this place!!“
