My favorite tacos aren’t fried tortillas. They’re similar in style and delicious to the tacos I’ve had in San Diego. Mexican kebabs are highly recommended. I ordered three in total! The waiter at the front desk provided excellent service. The boss should probably give him a raise. Next time I’m in Los Angeles, I’ll definitely come back to this restaurant. Mexican burritos are rich in fillings

Used my remaining money to order chicken and cheese, but ended up with onions and a hint of chicken. Don’t even think of coming here if you don’t have extra money for tips (I always tip previously except for my latest visit) cause they’ll mess up your order.

We got the fries with asada, Cali burrito with asada, three tacos and it was delicious! The el pastor taco I got had pineapple diced up in it, I love when it’s served with pineapples. The fries were boom too and had jalapeño on it that hit the spot. Definitely a good spot I’ll be saving on my map if I’m ever back town.

Staff was helpful when taking our order the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there wasn’t any agua fresca but will definitely come back for more. All the food coming out looked delicious!

I made a stop here before a show at El Rey and got the BBQ short rib nachos. Although the BBQ short rib wasn’t my favorite the nachos were still really good. The chips and toppings were fresh and the meat was tender. As far as I can tell the rest of the food here is pretty good too. 4.5/5.

Absolutely love it here I’m usually the person that sticks to eating one item, so I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE their loaded fries They have tacos, burritos, loaded fries, empanadas, nachos, tostada salads, bowls and quesadillas. Restaurant is small but CLEAN and very nice atmosphere ✨ I’m big on customer service and I would give them an extra 5 stars if I could And their churros with nutella are

Carne asada burrito, birria torta, and carne asada bowl… super delicious!
Highly recommend! I don’t know how they prep the carne asada but it’s very flavorful. And the birria is very good as well.

Great food, well seasoned and fresh ingredients. Had the El Cartel burritos and the shrimp salad, great cost benefit. Staff is polite and the shop is very chill, even if a bit small. Overall, highly recommend, especially if you have around half an hour to eat in location.
