    Buche tacos.
    Vi D.

    Ordered 3 buche tacos, 3 asada, and 1 buche burrito. Owner warned me the tacos were large...he undersold how big they were. Highly recommend checking this place out. Just an fyi the hours are incorrect. Check their IG.

    Located on Mulberry in front of Stater Bros

    Dame tus carnitas, ah ah Dame tus carnitas, ah, ay Dame tus carnitas , ah ah... Friend sent me this place to try. Guess it is popular on Instagram (no IG here). So we gave it a try because its chilaquiles. 3.75/5 Food Good the red chilaquiles are spicy while the green ones are more flavorful. The carnitas were a bit cold and lacked flavor. They give you big portions for sure. You can split a burrito or the plate. Overall the food was okay but felt like the portion is the wow factor. The overall taste was not impactful. 4/5 Service We had to wait a bit without anyone there. They have a place to sit if you want to eat there.we took ours to go. 5/5 Parking Located on the street in front of the Stater Bros parking lot. Lots of spots to park. Overall a lot of food but lacks that extra factor 3.75/5. Psalm 3:6, God bless

    Fresh, delicious and enough to feed about 3 people. The helpings are generous. Ordered the red chilaquiles with carnitas and would definitely recommend. Ordered and received my food quickly. Something to note: they only take cash or Zelle. Will be back to try some of their other items.

    Asada Chilaquiles Burrito with Roja
    Josh Y.

    Got the chance to try their chilaquiles burrito with their Roja and it was amazing! Love their carnitas but they ran out. Tried asada. It's super messy but worth every bite. The portion is a bit smaller than the platter but so is the price. Highly recommend.

    Breakfast burrito (carnitas, chilaquile, over medium eggs, green sauce, cheese)

    This breakfast burrito was stuffed with chilaquile i believe with over medium egg and carnitas and a green sauce. It satisfied me and i will come back here and tell my friends :)

    This place was so good! It was on leffingwell and Meyer parked by the water overpass, so the address is a little off but they picked up qhen I called and guided us there. They did not skimp on the carnitas and the chilaquiles were delicious. My husband got the burrito and it was also so good. I would recommend.

    Even though it's half finished, the plates here are described above. Meat included here is carnitas

    Let me tell you, the first time trying Carnitas La Chingona was so BOMB! The green chilaquiles is a good chili but if you love spicy then the red is for you. You can get half and half salsa. I usually get the chilaquiles plate with scrambled or over hard egg and pollo. It includes sour cream, beans and cheese. The service is amazing, even when they are busy they try their best serving your food fast and efficient. The atmosphere is beyond amazing, sweet, kind, respectful souls. Family own business food is pretty epic. Been going here many times. Definitely recommend for whoever loves this type of food.

    Truck in front of the curb by Stater Brothers. Huge Breakfast burrito with chilaquiles, runny egg, and carnitas mixta. I got it with the Green sauce which is delicious and milder than their fiery red sauce. Easily feeds 2.

    Huge mess they gave us

    Today was a careless sloppy mess. We love love this place we don't mind the wait or the priced food is delicious but today are order was a huge sloppy mess disappointed can't even pick up the burrito. Wrapper a wet mess stuff all over it the young girl taking the orders super unfriendly with the sour face. Ughh

One thing people…read moredon't always appreciate is how hard it is to keep wings crispy while still coating them in sauce. This spot nailed that balance. The batter was thin, light, and crispy, while the chicken stayed juicy and tender. The Lemon Pepper wings tasted like real lemon pepper should. Instead of relying on a heavy premade seasoning, they incorporated fresh lemon zest, which gave the wings a bright, fresh and authentic flavor. I'm usually not a lemon pepper person, but these definitely won me over. The Peruvian Green wings were my favorite. The sauce was herbaceous, tangy, creamy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, put that sauce over a bowl of rice and I'd happily finish every bite. The experience was just as enjoyable as the food. Pete shared samples of his cornbread and brought a fun, confident energy that made the visit memorable. You can tell he takes pride in what he serves, and that passion comes through in the food. I'm giving 4 stars because while I genuinely enjoyed everything, I have a feeling the best is still yet to come. If this is the standard they're setting now, I'm excited to see what future menu additions and wing flavors look like. I'll definitely be back!

My particular visit was on a Tuesday night at Pioneer high school in Whittier. There were 12 food trucks circling the edge of the parking lot. At 6:30 PM there were a lot of people eating, but not a lot of people waiting in lines at the food trucks. By 7:30 PM, most of the crowd had dissipated. When there's not a lot of business, the food truck owners tend to play on their phones. Many of my Instagram and tweets were commented or retweeted, which tells me that they were not busy enough in sales. It's an excellent food truck gathering, with plenty of choices. As a long time food truck blogger, I feel that there's too many trucks and not enough people. Best bites could reduce the trucks from 12 to say, eight trucks, and there will still be plenty of trucks for the people, and more business for the food trucks. A total win-win situation. I do like there's plenty of tables and chairs, and a DJ spinning catchy tunes. On my visit there was also a Photo Booth that the fans can use. Plenty of free parking, but unfortunately once the sun went down, the place got very dark. I hope this location continues to thrive, as the location is very good and the community seems to like it.

    Many options to choose from. Even dessert! They have a dj spinning great tunes for entertainment…read more Tables set up to eat there. And I love the fact that it's close to home. At Cal High!

Well that did not happen to me when I finally got to try a Lobster roll from the famous LobstaTruck. A few years ago I was at the Tustin AMC when I saw the truck. I had heard about it so we went over only to see a line that was 40 yards deep. No way to make our movie so we put it off. A few months ago I was somewhere that they were going to be only to learn that the truck broke down and the killer was last month when I was in Irvine and saw on Twitter that they were a couple blocks away. I finished my meeting and drove right over only to see the driving away. Aaahhgggg!!!! So today was a few miles away in Long Beach and decided to try the roll. I was shocked to find that there was no line and only a few marines that had just picked up their orders. I was surprised to hear whether I wanted butter or mayo. I thought I all rolls came with mayo but I asked what was more popular. The gal mentioned that the butter was more popular so I had to try that one. I was thinking about adding the extra meat but I am glad I didn't, the roll was perfect although I wish it were a little bigger. The roll here comes on what looks like a giant buttered Texas toast, not the hoagie type roll I was imagining but the toast was really delicious and adds a lot of taste to the roll. My roll had plenty of meat and had a few big chunks that you can really bite into. It had some butter on the lobster but not so much that it was oily. Just perfect. I cant believe how good it was to taste this awesome explosion of deliciousness and I cant wait to get back to try the sandwich with mayo; you know for research. Next time I will also try the lobster bisque soup. The Marine that was eating next to me also had the soup and it really made me crave it but I had a big breakfast this morning and so I will have to chase down this truck again.

Located off of the frontage street, by a grassy street divider, this is a spot to enjoy the eats on the grass like a picnic. I opted this spot, which has a IG of cali tacos please, but no longer exists. This spot on yelp was referred to as sumo tacos. The workers were friendly and very helpful. The sumo fries was delicious. The asada itself was unique. It had a smokey flavor which separates itself from other spots. It appeared to be cooked on charcoal, but given it is a food truck, that would be hard to pull off. The sumo taco was something different. It's cheese melted like a tortilla which holds the asada. It was very heavy, greasy and difficult to enjoy. The chips was a plus where you can rip the taco and place it on the chip. If you want something heavy, this sumo is for you. A bit heavy to my liking, so you might want to try a regular taco or burrito. But then again, it's called sumo for a reason. Curious if this spot would experiment with gorditas, a crisp tortilla. I think their filing would knock this out of the park. I also wish they would advertise what drinks they have. Nonetheless, worth a try.
