Menu for tacos and burritos only. Tax not included.
Deanna B.

I decided to return here to get a super carnita burrito. I must say, it was not as good as the first time. I paid more to get cheese, guacamole and sour cream in it and there was no trace of that in my super burrito! Just meat, rice and beans. I ordered "to go" so I could not show them unfortunately. Also, the carnita meat had large pieces of fat chopped up into my burrito. Like filllers. I am disappointed. For $10, there are other taquerias who provide you with what you expect. Stick to ordering tacos here. It seems to be their popular item.

This review takes me on a rollercoaster! I found this location on Yelp and wanted to try them, but when I arrived the location looked abandoned. If you find yourself in the same situation, in the parking lot facing their sign over a vacant looking spot in the strip mall, simply turn yourself about 200 degrees to the right and you will see a stand alone restaurant that also has their sign. Apparently they have moved from the location they show on maps but all you have to do is walk across the parking lot and you are there. That was my first drop and then rise. The food is very reasonably price for the portion size so I was incredibly excited to try it and, as the name states, the only meat they offer is carnitas, so it makes your choices very easy! I ordered a burrito and received a hefty one and happily headed home on a high. The low then came when I arrived home and opened my burrito and began eating... It was bland and dry and even after multiple bites I could not find any avocado or sour cream as promised. Also, when I say bland, I mean I couldn't even taste salt. Being discouraged, I rummaged through the bad and found some salsa! Yay. We were back on top. They had three small sample options but the only one I liked was the green salsa; it had a nice flavor and a steady eat through and through. I poured on the green salsa and kept eating. The burrito was much improved. Then I bit down on something hard, which is always unpleasant and it was that hard little nodule on the outside of the avocado that must have slipped in. That really put me on a downturn but not as much as the hair I found in the next bite. I did not finish my burrito as I wasn't in the mood for a treasure hunt and did not want to see what else might be lurking. I also never really found any sour cream or avocado...maybe a hint but I can't be sure. Still, I was full. See what I said when I told you it was a roller-coaster? Anyway, here is my rationale for 3 stars. This seems to be a small business and I really felt the value was good. That is important these days. Also, although the burrito was bland, what I appreciate about that is that anyone could eat it and those who want more flavor can always add something in. Lastly, I am disgusted with finding things in my food as anyone would be but it is possible that was a fluke. I would be willing to give them another try...someday and I would actually suggest them to anyone who is very hingry and short on cash.

Taco mixto de carnitas

Costumer services was great right off the bat sweet lady very welcoming she tried to explain to me how their tortillas were not made from scratch, but I don't think she realizes how many restaurants sell terrible food. I ordered 3 carnitas mixtas tacos is a mixture of pork rinds and carnitas for $12. Tacos were spectacular soft meat and very flavorful but their creamy habanero salsa is out of this world maaannn it definitely took my tacos to another level. I even bought salsa to take home putting that on everything. The atmosphere/ambiance could need some help it was awkwardly quiet maybe some music would be nice.

On our first visit today, we tried four different drinks and four menu items, and every single one was a work of art for both the eyes and the palate. The Shrimp Ceviche appetizer was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, especially paired with the Mexico Lindo - Salsa Pan Negro sauce. The Aguachile Negro was incredible--a beautiful presentation worthy of butterflies, featuring fresh shrimp in a perfect combination of tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet black sauce. And let's not overlook the fish tacos--crispy fried fish topped with slaw, but it was the sauce that truly took them to another level. Each dish was unique in its own way, yet equally delicious. The drinks were just as impressive. The Entre Espinos was refreshing, blending cool lime with the subtle heat of jalapeño and agave. The Tequillero Mucho tasted like a berry mojito, the Mango Tequila Shot was fantastic, and you can never go wrong with a classic shot of Tres Generaciones. This was an outstanding first visit, and we'll definitely be back!

I'll get right to it... This place is great! However, if…read moreyou're a bit of a food snob - maybe a little particular (like I am...), you might not think so when you first walk in. I had hesitations. It was pretty empty, all eyes on sports, no one greeted me for a while, the table needed a dust-off. I had expectations - like that the vegetarian burrito should have vegetables (this one is just rice, beans, onion and cilantro...). I thought that maybe since they have shrimp and enchiladas, that they would make a shrimp enchilada - they won't. The have beer, no wine, no margs. I was a hungry pescatarian, getting more anxious - but I stuck to the plan, and I'm glad I did. What I didn't understand was the authenticity. The rest doesn't matter. Yes, I was having a minor melt-down, so I kept things basic. Just cheese enchiladas. I was resolved to be disappointed. I was NOT. The enchiladas were EPIC. I asked for more sauce because I wanted to take a bath in it. I usually skip rice, I ate it all - so much flavor. The beans too - too delicious to be vegetarian - so I didn't ask, and I'll never regret. This place is legit - and I am sorry I ever doubted. I also tried my companions chile relleno, which I usually don't care for - and I LOVED IT. My other companion had carne asada, which I did not sample - but he said it was delightful. Yeah, I've got some LA attitude from time to time, but this place beats most of my LA haunts on flavor. So stick to the basics, don't be a snob, and you'll be in for a real treat.
