Tortillas caseras to order. Trompo with delicious al pastor. Very clean and open. Friendly staff. But the food is the real star. It's a taste of Mexico. Try a huarache and get messy with it. You'll be glad you did.

The service is fine, but the food is disappointing. I don’t like canned refried beans. I bought a container of their beans, and after two bites, I was done. Their street tacos have plenty of meat, but taste wise, nothing special. And if you want guacamole on them, it’s $1 per taco. Guanitos charges $0.25 cents. Los Tacos doesn’t charge anything — their street tacos come with it for the same price as these. I love salsa de Serrano (the creamy green kind), and they have it here, but it’s ridiculously hot. I like hot salsa, but I couldn’t eat this.

I wouldn’t go back here.

You either LIKE nacho cheese/ sauce on your Mexican food, or ya don't. I think that's where some people find fault here-- not *us*, however!

We LOVE the food, ambiance, service, carne, fact that they serve cold beer, and, YES- nacho cheese sauce here. My kid can get a giant helping of nacho cheese fries (off menu-- just ask for it). The husband can get carne asada fries or a carne asada burrito (as big as his forearm). I can get a breakfast burrito, bean & cheese burrito, or bean huarache (I can't find huaraches easily around here, so I appreciate these being on the menu).

Freshly made tortillas (in house!), and freshly-carved carne are just the icing on the cake. This place is legit, and I've held off reviewing it because I DON'T want it to get too packed/ popular (a bit of gatekeeping, if I'm being honest). But this place is good. REALLY good. You won't be disappointed.

My mom and I ate here for the first time last Friday. She had a carne Asad burrito and o had the carne asada fries. My food was super yummy. The cheese was like nachos sauce. I don't know why I was thinking it would be regular shredded cheese. It was super good. Mom's burrito was so big and heavy, she needed a forklift to pick it up. Ha! The tortilla was crispy. The burrito was so good she couldn't finish all of it. We ate at the restaurant. It was very hot inside so sit under the fan to eat.

This restaurant truly is a little understated piece of Mexico. The food is great, the vibes are appropriate if you feel like dining in, and definitely work checking out for good Mexican food.

Carnitas tacos are amazing. The drinks are COLD. Service is friendly and fast. Restaurant is clean and plenty of seating.

Order up at the counter, and they call your number when the food is ready.

This place is amazing! We had passed by for years, seen the sign while driving past and wondering if it was good. Well I’m happy to say we stopped by for the first time about 6 months ago and and so glad we finally did. The food is fantastic and I especially love the breakfast burritos! The service is always top notch and the employees are friendly. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

I absolutely love this restaurant. Anytime we have someone visiting from out of town I take them here. Anytime someone local is looking for a great SoCal Mexican restaurant I take them here. They by far have the best California Burrito that I have ever had. I believe it's their cut of meat, marinating process, and the way they grill it. Their surf and turf burrito is also a huge hit! I seriously cannot recommend this place enough.

The owner is a very rude human being. We're returning customers and he complained for taking too many radishes even though I ordered more food. Half of the radishes were rotting which is why I took more after they cut fresh ones.

He said he doesn't need a customer like me.

I can't believe a business owner would say those kinds of word. How immature and disrespectful. I think he said those words because I'm Asian. I can't support a business when I get racist vibes from the owner.

So far, I have tried tacos, quesadillas, and huaraches, mulitas, and everything had a tasty flavor. Very good!!
They only need a soda machine.
