“ I really enjoy tacos and this spot didn't disappoint. The tacos weren't too greasy and they were well packed with meat. It does hurt to remember that the same taco costs me 50 cents in Mexico, but what else can I expect in Los Angeles? The wait time during lunch on a Monday afternoon was very short and there was ample seating to enjoy my tacos without worrying about anyone bothering me while I inhaled my food. ”
“ Great Price for Burritos. Went here 1st time and noticed how clean it was. The wait was not long at all and You get to see them put the food together. Next I will want to try the sopes and tacos. ”
“ Great food! Clean environment, pleasant environment. The times I've gone, it's not too crowded and has good seats. Has plenty of parking ”
“ I do enjoy going to this place for the street style tacos and their condiment bar or different temperatures of hot sauce and freshly packaged white onions. They also keep freshly grilled onions and pinto beans (small cups available) on bar for FREE to enjoy with your tacos. Only thing that is negative would be the size of tortillas they serve. Xxtra small and hard to eat the taco easily. Grab a fork. They do this to make it look like you are getting a lot of meat and save money. Just put meat of larger tortillas please!!!! ”
“ It’s not high end. It’s not low end. But it meets all expectations. No complaints at this moment. ”
