“Family run by two cousins, Tacos Wow! is a tasty local spot that has breakfast burritos and many other dishes like tacos, asada fries, Chile relleno, cocktel de Cameron, etc. You really can't go wrong eating here. There is a parking lot in the back and a rear door.“
“I have only tried the tamales, but every time I go there I just have to keep getting them bc they are so good. The masa is fluffy and moist. Ask for their green sauce on top, it goes very well with pork and chicken filling. The sweet corn tamales are also delicious and only cost $2.50. They save very well, so if you don't finish it, just make sure it's well wrapped so it doesnt dry out and you can steam or microwave them to reheat. The restaurant is very clean and the staff has always been nice and helpful to me. I appreciate the fact that you can get a great meal without spending $20. It's what keeps me coming back on a regular basis.“
“OMG! The shrimp tacos are amazing. Haven't been by in a wile and stopped by today for a few tacos. Forgot how much this place rocks. Food was amazing serves was great even hot water in the sink in the bathroom. Reyes Rocks!!!! Thank you!!!!“
“One day I saw this place driving home and told myself I'd like to try it out. I brought my Mom and her husband, and we all enjoyed our selections with absolutely no complaints. We came hungry and weren't expecting to have to wait as long as we waited for the food, but of course the food was made with love and was fully worth the wait. It's a very local restaurant. Not fancy, but clean and comfortable. And they serve beer. We don't live far. Hope to be back.“
“I know, the name outside is a Mexican restaurant, but you will travel to Sri Lanka for sure. The ambiance is really simple, casual, every Friday and Saturday nights they have buffet for $20 person. You need eat with hooper, a pancake bowl. The food is delicious! And the service is friendly. Also, you need try Fatoolah, delicious drink dessert , $4. There is a market beside, I will try next day. It was a tip from one Sri Lanka guy.“
“This is my favorite vegan Mexican spot. They have the best food and it’s fairly affordable considering it’s vegan. I always get the Al Pastor burrito, cause it’s packed with flavor. They have other amazing items, but I tend to stick with my go to option that I listed. Overall, I am never disappointed when I go here, cause for the price the burritos are huge.“
“Super tasty food, delicious snacks. Everything done at the moment!! And the unique attention. Very friendly and attentive. First time and I was impressed. I recommend it, I will return every time I go from San Francisco to San Fernando Los Angeles. God Bless the workers, owner and Restaurant and prosper them!!!“
“First time going. Went for a late lunch. Staff was very friendly & the food came out fast. This has an elevated or more modern vibe compared to other "traditional" Mexican restaurants with familiar menu items (tacos, chips&guac, street corn) but several premium items (tomahawk steak, lobster bomba rice) or unique options (jimca salad, shrimp chile) as well. I like the small plates and tacos but also appreciate the large plates for dinner. They also have mocktails which are fantastic- we had spicy passionfruit. Wel will ne neck amd the atmosphere is lively from watching sports to a date night.“
“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.“
“Food is delicious! Been here twice and it doesn't disappoint Service is fast and efficient. Servers are attentive to their tables! Just amazing!Highly recommended for authentic Mexican breakfast, plus i love the music! Got to hear PXNDX! which is one of my favorite bands !“
“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!!“
“Yo I've lived in sherman oaks for a long time and I cant believe I just found out about this place. I came with my friend for lunch and it was packed. The workers are really nice and I got recommended the torta and the lunch plates. The carne asada plate was fire and so was their horchata it tasted homemade not the powder kind that some places give. I'll def be backParking: 2 parking spots in the back“
“I order tamales from Me Gusta all of the time at our Ventura Farmers Market. They are the best! My favorite is chili cheese but they all are so good. Serves hot or coldVegetarian options: Chili cheese are the bomb but they also have bean and cheese, pineapple, strawberry, etc“
“Amazing service! I wish all restaurants were this outgoing at their registers. It made me feel like nothing would go wrong! This place is one of those order at the counter, then sit till they call you to pick it up. Most tables were taken, but we were still able to find a seat. The seating area was cozy, but they also had an outdoor seating area, but it was windy and chilly, so we stayed inside. I ordered the Chorizo with beans, and my Aunt ordered the Chile relleno. You could tell it was made with love. The guys that work there are really pleasant and run a fantastic ship. If I visit Auntie again in her neck of the woods, I would definitely come back.“
“This is a hole in the wall restaurant that seems to be a neighborhood favorite. There are not many tables inside, but they have a lot of covered seating outside behind the restaurant. Parking is limited, but we found some nearby at a strip center. 4/5 - Complimentary Tostadas: Served with pico de gallo, salsa and bean dip. Really good. 4/5 - Horchata 4/5 - Eggs, Beans & Carne Asada: My husband requested this (since it's not on the menu) and they made it for him. He was very happy. 2/5 - Beef Machaca: The beans and rice and tostada were really good. I didn't love the machaca though. The food came out to 3.5 stars. Service was friendly and attentive, so I will bump it up to 4 stars. I think this is probably a good lunch / dinner location.“
“I revisited this place after years, having been a regular from 2007 to 2014 growing up. Surprisingly, nothing much has changed, except for the owner sporting grey hairs and the welcomed addition of card payments. The familiar great taste of the food, horchata, and salsa remain the same in a good way.“
“To the person that is reading this, I just want you to know that the food was so good that it saved me from depression. It was a rainy day, I had no motivation no energy no nothing. But then I went around and looked for food places near by and I went and ordered “Carne Asada fries” (I’m lactose) but that didn’t stop me. The staff were awfully nice and sweet. I was all depressed until they said my food was ready. I took one bite and oh my days. My toes started to curl, my hair started to go up, I was literally floating. Each fry was unbelievable savory and so good. My depression on that day was finally cured. 15 years of depression all gone with just one fry. So yes I do definitely recommend this. Ps. If you don’t eat from here then you’re gay.“
“Best breakfast burrito I've had in quite some time. Best part was that they let me sub potatoes for the meat. The burrito came out quickly after ordering at the counter. The lady who helped me was incredibly nice and offered some extra salsa (the spicy salsa was perfect). The burrito had tasty potatoes, fluffy eggs, and a good portion of beans, wrapped in a warm, flakey tortilla. Don't miss it!“
“We ordered the Vista Al Mar appetizer with a pitcher of margaritas. The place is very clean. We found it to be a decent spot and definitely plan to come again. Next time I want to try to Birra tacos.Vegetarian options: There are veggie options.“
“I've been coming here since I was a kid but the new owner Marcos is definitely the coolest man/owner! He treats everyone like family and I love that he personally walks my order out to me every time. We chat like we've always known each other I think it's awesome! Highly recommend eating here! I eat here once a week and bring it on the golf course with me every weekend!“
“Haven’t had some great breakfast food in months due to being deployed (military). First stop back home, Jerry’s Coffee Shop. Breakfast food hit the spot! Jerry’s is my favorite place in town to get breakfast and the people there are very nice. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend you go. You won’t regret it!“
“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“
“I just stopped by today and had a great experience here. I got carnitas and al pastor street tacos and they were unbelievable. Such great flavors in the meat. Also the green and red salsa were very complimentary (red salsa is smoky spicy yum). Got the asada quesadilla for the kids (of course I had a bite) and was really pleased with the asada flavor too! Even the sour cream is great, homemade you can tell. The attention to quality is apparent!I am super glad because the first few times I was not impressed. Maybe I got the wrong things, and it seemed expensive, but everything was great at the service was great as well! It was only $20 and was enough food for 3 adults. Saw they have really good $12 lunch deals now too. Can't wait to come back!!“

“Literally some of the best service I've received during a late work lunch. Came in and Abraham explained anything I had questions on and recommended the best pina I've had in a long time. Overall, great food and great service, definitely coming back. The food wasn't super heavy, and was very flavorful. The number 5“
“This place hits the sweet spot in your tummy. I was craving Mexican but not just any Mexican food. I was craving good quality Mexican food. When I have a craving for high quality authentic Mexican food I know to come here. It was 15 minutes before they were closing and I was wondering if it was yo Kate to order for pickup. They said no problem and that it would be ready in 15 mins. So my husband and I hopped literally across the street to go pick it up as soon as we had orders it. We got to sit and chat for a few since we got there early and before we knew it we had our food and were walking right back across the street to eat in the comfort of our homes. The food was delicious as we already know it to be. Our favorites we ordered were the: 7 Mares dinner (7 Seafood) (YUM!!!) Shrimp Burrito dinner (My husband's favorite) Shrimp Enchiladas dinner (YUM!!!) 4 Shrimp Tacos So good every time! It doesn't hurt that the young owners are so sweet and lovable!“
“A very positive dining experience. The staff is awesome and the food delicious. From your first visit you're treated like an old friend. They even remembered my name after my first visit. Don't miss out, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. “
“I ordered Asada fries and let me tell you i devoured it. I normally do not eat a lot but man that ssshhhh was so bomb i finish it! Pardon my language. The Service/Workers was equally as amazing, kind, friendly, above and beyond! I definitely got more bang for my buck too because that plate was packed of Asada was packed!“
“If I can say something is …. The birria tacos and the side of consomé to die for!The tacos , yum, yum!!!!The torsta wow just delicious! We just ordered Uber eats from there and our kids and ourselves love it! We will order again in the near future!“
“After ordering here a few times I think the cooks need to learn that Mexican food is not soggy and wet. I don’t think I’ve ordered one thing from this place that didn’t fall apart on first pick up whether it tacos quesadilla burrito doesn’t matter, but I have to say the taste is good and the portion is good.“
“Yummy food, friendly staff, fast and good service. Decent portions.It's not mentioned on the menu but the bowls come with chips as well.We also ordered churros and it was yummy.The only downside is paid parking but that's just LA. But I'd go back“

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.“
“I like this restant,I've been coming here for a very long time and always enjoyed this place,it is family owned and the employees are very very good people,friendly and polite. They also have a little grocery section inside,with dry goods,meat market with butcher and produce section. I only wish they would update the place just a little,but overall I'd give it a 8 out of 10 stars.Oh,I almost forgot,they did add onto the restaurant,with more seating under a covering which was nice.Parking: Very crowded and small,due to other business' in that shopping center, but can park on street for free after the meters are off at night“
“Jennifer is amazing and so so sweet! Best coffee i have had in a while and the amazing customer service made my day even more. The coffee bar is connected to a yummy diner which makes the ambiance very homey and comforting. If youre nearby definitely check this place out! :)“
“I had dinner here to celebrate my sister's birthday, and the service was exceptional. Pablo, the manager, warmly greeted me and took care of everything once I mentioned the occasion. He even surprised us with a dessert and led the crew in singing happy birthday. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the servers were outstanding. I would definitely come here again.“
“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!“
“Omg, we ended up at this restaurant looking for another one, it was a blessing in disguise. The food is amazing, we all had different dishes and we all loved them. The mango margarita was the bomb. Our waiter Juan was so attentive and courteous. I will be coming “
“Parking is not an issue. Staff is very kind and helpful. Prices and portions are fair. Specials available at this fast casual and cozy spot. They also have deals depending on the day with their tacos. Menu has a good variety. Free chips and a delicious salsa when you check in on Yelp.“
“Great food, everything we had was delicious (beef, chicken and pork bowls). Plus, awesome customer service! There was a mistake with my order and they were super apologetic, helpful and made it right. Definitely will order from them again.Dietary restrictions: Have soy free options (yay!)“
“Food taste home-made. The caldo de pollo, caldo de res, and burrito mojado (Wet Burrito) are my favorite. They usually have the red wet burrito but I ask for it to be custom made in green Salsa with extra cheese and sometimes carne asada with shrimp. My most favorite breakfast choice here are the: "Chilaquiles Rojos" Combo. It's really good.My husband's favorite dish is the "Bistec Talpatiqueño" Combo. It comes with macaroni salad, 2 quesadillas. Also their fresh aguas frescas are really good. They have: Melon, Sandia, Horchata, Jamaica. Some could be available. It varies on the day.The seating is good to dine in either for couples, a small family and also a bigger crowd. Service is great, friendly- family oriented. Your food is ordered Infront, if you dine-in waitress or waiter will take it to your table. They have restrooms outside behind the building.“
“OK, maybe a 4.5 star. I have been going here for decades. The menu is diverse offering seafood, like most don't. This isn't the bad cooking smothered in mole sauce and delivered to your table like others. I think the current star rating is not a good as they really are. The reviews are pretty old, so I thought I would update mine. Will be back this week.“
“Best pupusas in San Fernando valley ! I love their food very tasty and the service is amazing, I can eat their pupusas every single day and will never get tired, plus they treat you as a family I always feel very welcome, the restaurant is always clean. I recommend it 100% .Parking: Always parking available“
“Called in an order, arrived at the time they had indicated it would be ready. Took awhile before anyone acknowledged my presence to pay, took another few minutes for my take out to be ready.The panzon and carnitas are excellent. I'll come back for those.“
“I came out to the valley to have lunch with a friend and we went to Sharkeys and I was so surprised and very happy that they had organic and vegan and tofu really excellent options. The food was fantastic. The service was super nice would definitely go back great great surprise.Vegetarian options: They had a great selection of vegan options, including tofu patties that were beautifully cooked that came with my bowl“
“Solid take out Mexican food. We've had this delivered multiple times. They always follow instructions and give a huge portion. I have a friend with celiac disease and this is one of the few restaurants that she trusts and they're celiac safe which I appreciate!“
“Really beautiful restaurant and our service was very good. Our waitress was very polite and informative about the area and answered all of our questions. The food however, must be like this because of the demographic. But we were expecting a more authentic Mexican experience. It was enjoyable but not exactly Mexican food more fusion. Will definitely return for the atmosphere though!!“
“You need to come to this place, the food is incredibly good, the ceviches are delicious, the oysters are fresh and the service is really good, they were attentive to our orders and the food was served very quickly.The atmosphere is familiar, the place is very nice and clean I love it, I will definitely come back often ?Parking: In front of the restaurant there is parking and there is enough spaceKid-friendliness: There is a children's menu, which is very delicious and the outside area is very nice for children.“
“Nice restaurant! Good food! Too bad about the customer service. ?. They left me waiting to take phone orders. You have to give priority to the client who is present. A suggestion, have waiters. I would definitely help this restaurant, very delicious and clean.“
“Got the carne asada burrito and it was delicious! It had a mild tamarind flavor which was different. The lady that helped me was very nice and offered a variety of hot sauces and packed them up for me. Definitely a go to spot if you don't eat meat but are craving the flavor! It also had several tables inside for dining in.“
“I came again & brought my mom this time for lunch… we had the pleasure of meeting Natalie our waitress she was amazing and took great care of us, honestly made dining in so much better. I wish the drinks were stronger but it still satisfied my craving for a margarita. I’ll definitely continue coming here 10/10 food atmosphere vibes and staff!“
