    2 asada 2 pastor

    Amazing tacos! I had 2 asada and 2 pastor! These were Soo good! I'm from outta town so I'm glad I took a chance and stopped by, you will not be disappointed! Flavorful meat and the salsa rounds it out! If you're looking for little tacos packed with flavor do your stomach a favor and stop by! Services was prompt, dining area small but I was in and out within 20 minutes! Thanks I will def be back!! CASH ONLY!!!

    These are the type of tacos that will transport you to childhood. Simple and good. No guacamole. No Tijuana style, no nothing. Tacos are delicious. The spot is old school lol but it's cute. One shareable bathroom for everyone. Plenty of seating. A few parking spaces. Service is good and straight to the point. The young man also gave us salsa on the side. A taco spot for a quick grab & go. Those are the best in my opinion.

    The Carne Asada Tacos have no flavor, and Al Pastor Tacos have way too much fat.. These tacos are Below Average (D-).. Not coming back.

    Stopped here during work and grabbed three tacos, asada, buche, and cabeza. All three had great…read moreflavor, especially paired with their salsa verde and onions. You really can't go wrong. Before leaving, I saw someone get a birria taco and immediately got a little jealous. So naturally, I came back with my coworkers an hour later. GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY. That birria taco was . Paired with the consommé, I was in heaven. You can tell they let that consommé cook low and slow for a long time. It was rich, hearty, deeply flavorful, and full of that collagen goodness. 10/10. Would absolutely come back and bring my friends. And next time, I'm definitely not leaving without the birria.

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

    I had my first meal at the enchanted indoor garden in Mami Felipa Cocina today…read more Food: The green chilaquiles did not disappoint. They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

    What a pleasant surprise. Meaning sometimes you read a lot of five star reviews and you leave…read moredisappointed. Had the Divorciad burrito for lunch and it was delicious. (See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.
