Our Guestbook
“ We’ve been coming here for the quesadillas hechas a mano for yearsss! We love it and always am happy to come here! The service is always great and our tummy’s always are happy when we leave this place! We don’t live so close anymore (living in SGV now) so we can’t come as often anymore (thanks LA traffic) I Wish them to be around for many more years! ”
“ The best tacos I’ve had in all of LA! . On my last day in town I decided to stop here again, as I was walking up to the taco stand I had a “cholo” asked me if I wanted to go “one on one” with him on his side of the street so I could see what a “real” gangster was about. After politely declining (and seeing a few “gang signs”) he proceeded to tag the building behind him. I got to really experience the true Cali lifestyle! . All jokes aside this place really does have good tacos. ”
“ This is the real deal folks. We were in the area for a local taco stand. I ordered the Cemita Poblana con Milanesa, which is like a torta, but the bread is different, they use Oaxacan Cheese, and they use some spicy salsa/sauce. The rest of the table got, a Torta de Milanesa, Tacos al pastor, Sope de asada, Sope de Pollo, and Huaraches. Everyone was happy with their food. We think they handmake their tortillas as they were really fresh. There are a couple of outside tables and they allow indoor dining too. Definitely coming back! ”
“ Great food and even better people! ”
“ It’s my first time coming here and I’m leaving very impressed with the Al Pastor burrito. The people are very friendly. ”
“ Not the best, not bad. Pretty much a taco stand with consistently good food. Can be a little bit or miss, but generally it is a solid choice. ”
“ 1st time coming here... I got me the Enchiladas de Pollo. They were Pretty good I can't complain... I'll be coming back soon to try their Menudo... ”
“ We ordered: breakfast burritopacked with toppings and ingredients. It's huge! Huevos rancherosmade to your liking, served with refried beans and rice. Asada gordita big in size and packed well with meat and vegetables. Omeletham/anchovies and big in size! 2 tacos of asada decent size with a lot of meat. This place does not hold back on toppings and the meats. The orange juice was made fresh before our eyes. They peeled 4 large oranges and blended them in a juicer. It was delicious! Small place with seating inside and small tables outside. Very friendly. It's CASH ONLY. Parking very limited. ”
