    Experience (4/5 stars): *Food: got the chilaquiles w/ the red sauce and carnitas. the chips were crunchy, meat was tender, and sauce was spicy. *Price: ~$16 Overall, I can't wait to come back to try the burrito!

    Great food. Chilaquiles rojos and carnitas are delicious. Very quick service, maybe a little tricky to park your car. Place look clean and it's very busy in the morning hours

    I got here before 10am on a Sunday. There was a good constant stream of one or two people ordering food. Ordered the chicaquieless carnitas burrito + eggs for $13. Its as big as my face. I ate half and saved thee other half for another time. Taste: good. Get the red salsa (they said its spicy but it's not even mild) as it really enhances the flavor. Value: A+ Parking: bad...so try to get lucky Service: A++. Everyone was super nice and the whole setip is really clean considering that it's on the side street corner

    I've been here twice already and man, I'm not carnitas expert but these gotta be some of the best I've had. Meat is perfect along with the juiciness you get when you bite into it. To be honest you don't even need lime for this delicacy. Carnitas Tacos: 8.7

    Chilaquiles were fresh and still crunchy perfectly paired with carnitas and eggs. Service was great fast and easy. Right in Heart of Boyle Heights along Olympic. Definitely going back!

    I love chilaquiles and I love burritos... so having a chilaquiles burrito exist was just magic. Right when I walked up, a staff member greeted me with a smile and kindly took my order. The wait was very short. I ordered a green chilaquiles burrito with carnitas. So flavorful, texture was so fun (crunchy chips inside of a mushy burrito) and piping hot. I do have to say- it was very filling. I ate half of my burrito and was full for the rest of the day. $12 for fully loaded burrito- such a steal!

    Dang. The carnitas chilaquiles breakfast burrito. It's as delicious as it is unwieldy. Those tortillas have to be extra large because it's holding together a lot of stuff. This spot is a stand in Boyle Heights/ East LA that opens early most days of the week for the breakfast and lunch crowds. It's right off Olympic in close to proximity to other trucks/ spots I really love. The vibe is chill like most food stands in LA and the people are awesome. I read that is is THE thing to get here, so I ordered the carnitas chilaquiles breakfast burrito with green salsa and scrambled eggs. The carnitas is tender and oh so flavorful. It would be good on the other items on the menu. The chilaquiles is made fresh to order on skillets towards the back and is really, really crunchy. Not sure if they make their own chips, but it has the crunch similar to the chips at Superior Grocers (iykyk). I got the green sauce, because it is the more milder of the two. Just a great burrito overall in terms of flavors and textures. They cut the burrito in half and it lasted me two meals. And the price was really, really reasonable. Just a heads up, although I think the chilaquiles stays crunchy for a long time, if you are going to save any of the burrito for an extended period of time, the chips will inevitably get soft or softer. Plenty of street parking, but keep in mind that it is a busy street and people drive fast on this street.

    Second time within a 4 weeks span ran by nothing but youngsters! Hustlers pretty cool vibe everyone is nice and sociable. There chiliqules burritos is trending all over social media for a while now and I finally stopped by and I gotta say it's pretty fire the combination of the carnitas, beans, eggs freshly made crunchy chips and sauce of your choice green or red okay now that's unique. I ordered my child a plate which had basic beans and carnitas and I would rate the carnitas a 7/10 because it has no flavor what's so ever I don't thing they marinate it ‍ but over all experience 8/10 try it for yourself

    Ayo!!!! Ok Los Chingones has been on my Breakfast Burrito Bucket list forever. I've never had a Chilaquiles Burrito and today my wishes came true. They give you a choice of Red or Green Sauce, I selected Verde. Then choice of meat and I selected Chicharrones which is only offered on the weekends, then choice of how you want your eggs cooked, I chose over medium, then it comes with beans and sour cream. Wow Wow Wow!!! This burrito was one of the best breakfast burritos i've ever had with the crispy chunks of the salty chicharrones with crispy skin, The chilaquiles that was not soggy, the eggs with the runny yolks, beans and sour cream all married together to perfection. 10/10! I am coming back forsure as you should as well. The Watermelon drink was so refreshing and not overly sweet. Street parking and Zelle was accepted. Run to the spot asap!

    One of my stops on my LA food tour this summer. I saw this place all over IG, so had to make the stop. This place is located on the corner of a busy street. Parking sucks. I had to park a block or two down. They have a few chairs out, but I opted to eat in my car. The service was very good. The woman taking my order was very friendly, and asked me how I wanted my order. I got the burrito, with chilaquiles and carnitas. The carnitas were tender and juicy. I normally don't order carnitas. Most I've tried have been dry. This place does them right. The chilaquiles were good. They were drenched in red sauce, and remained crispy in the burrito, even with the carnitas, eggs, and sauce. Definitely recommend to anyone in LA!

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was presented really well. The enchiladas were flavorful, the grilled fish was cooked perfectly, and the tortillas with the short rib were a table favorite. Portions were great for sharing, and the sauces really tied everything together. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us throughout the night without making us feel rushed. It did get a little busy, so there were a few waits between courses, but nothing that took away from the experience.

Our waiter then told us we needed a specific Dine LA reservation, something that was never mentioned when I called or when I made the reservation. I've been to plenty of Dine LA restaurants and have never experienced this. The service wasn't necessarily bad, but it was very dismissive. No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too. I would come back, but ONLY for those oysters--definitely not for the service.

    My friends and I recently did an LA taco tour, visiting various storefronts to find our favorite…read morespot. Sonoratown was our first stop as it was highly recommended by my boyfriend's brother, and it did not disappoint. It immediately earned a spot in our top five favorite taco spots for carne asada in all of Southern California! The location that we went to is located in between Elysium DTLA and Perfumeria Starlux on E 8th St in downtown LA. There is only paid(?) street parking around the area that could be extremely difficult to find during work days. Because we couldn't snag a spot, my friends and I opted for takeout and didn't end up eating until about 30 minutes later. Despite the travel time, the tacos were still absolutely incredible--I can only imagine how spectacular it tastes fresh! My friends and I ordered the carne asada tacos, and my boyfriend opted for the cabeza. Before I even took a full bite, I tasted a piece of the loose carne asada and was blown away; it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful tenderness and deep smokiness. The use of a single, thin, handmade flour tortilla--rather than the standard double corn--was a total game-changer and exactly how I preferred my tacos. The salsas were equally impressive, offering fantastic flavor and a great kick. My boyfriend's cabeza taco was just as standout, featuring super-tender meat with a rich, savory profile. Wowowow! Between the exceptional meat quality, bold flavors, and great value, this is easily one of the best taco spots I've visited. It's a huge bummer that they don't have a location down in San Diego, but we will definitely be back!

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.
