    Chicken Taco

    I don't like to complain but after receiving no response back I felt the need to share. I ordered 4 chicken tacos to go and there was literally 1 tablespoon of chicken in each taco. Obviously they don't care about customer service or to improve it.

    Nachos with Asada

    This is my go to place for nachos. In addition, you can help yourself to their salsa bar for their spicy green salsa and jalapeños. On Taco Tuesday, I recommend the hard shell chicken tacos. The service is always prompt and friendly.

    **AVERAGE MEXICAN FOOD TO-GO** Craving some local Mexican eats and was too lazy to drive past Torrance. Chile Verde popped up with a decent rating on a delivery app and immediately placed an order. FOOD ===== CHILE VERDE PLATE - $10.99 Pork with green chile, served with rice, beans, and tortillas. The meat was pretty moist and tender, but the chile sauce was a bit salty. The red rice hardened tremendously and the cheese on the beans congealed after left untouched for an hour, a bit too processed for my personal taste. RATING: 3/5 FLAN - $2.49 I added this to my order and believed it was a homemade or restaurant-made flan. Nope, it was a Juan J's flan (see photo). I find it personally deceiving that they did not disclose this on the menu clearly. RATING: 2/5 OVERALL ======== Personally, not my jam. I know it's family owned, so I don't want to be harsh. I wish them the best. My review is not going to stop their fan base and devotees, as they have several locations in the South Bay.

    Carne Asada Fries

    Great service, great food, clean and very welcoming! Great experience. I had the New : Carne asada fries, great price, great flavor and great amount just satisfying!

    Ordered thru door dash for a wet bean and cheese burrito (vegetarian as no lard etc) wet and a side of beans and cheese to make some nachos at home. I put notes to get some spicy salsa etc and it was all done correctly and food was excellent and the portions were huge. spicy salsa was very good. Sauce on the burrito was good, I would say it was 7/10, but the beans and rest were 9/10. Service was great as well.

    Rude cashier

    First off I love this chain, I know the family that started it and let's just say they won't be happy with what I have to say about this location. My family and I order 2-3 times a month from this location and despite the food being good the service is despicable. It's Friday night and an hour before closing time and the staff is already cleaning the beverage station and putting up chairs. Which sucks cause I had been calling to place an order for a little over an hour. As soon as I walked in the cashier immediately rolled her eyes at me like I was bothering her. Wanting Horchata for my drink, and seeing that they had already cleaned the beverage station i asked her if there's was any in the back so she could fill my cup (it was a to to order) and she rolled her eyes once again and talked to me with an tone as if I were annoying her she said there was none left and immediately picked up her phone and started to text, ignoring me. Being I'm in the restaurant industry for a decade plus, I know this is not how you talk or deal with customers. This girl is obviously privileged or just doesn't take her job seriously and this isn't the first encounter with her and her attitude. She clearly has a stick up her ass and doesn't have any business dealing with loyal customers or customers for that fact. I would do some house cleaning if I owned this establishment cause bad employees like this could definitely ruin your reputation, and I don't want that cause the food here is great.

    Damn Toothpick is almost damn near the size of the Taquito.

We had a reservation and were sat right away when most of our party arrived. We were seated outside and at the time, it was a little chilly in the evening so we asked for the heater to be turned on and they did so right away. We ordered some drinks and starters - the guacamole with 3 salsas and the ceviche. Both were delicious - the ceviche especially was super fresh and light. We got a couple of the cocktails to share and all of them didn't disappoint!! My husband and I split 2 entrees because we wanted to try as much as we could. I ordered the madre enchiladas which allows you to sample multiple different moles and sauces. My favorite was the mole negro out of the 4 - the complexity of flavors was out of this world! My fiancé ordered the Barbacoa de res and really enjoyed his dish as well. It comes as a plate with rice and beans and some toppings for the tortillas (you can pick flour, corn, or handmade corn). Overall, the meal was delicious and we would definitely come back!

My son had the kids enchilada and enjoyed his meal. I ordered 3 tacos from the à la carte menu. The chicken was fine but the fish and shrimp were undercooked and I couldn't eat them, which is why I deducted the one star. The other deduction was for the underwhelming flavors in the meals themselves. Usually when a Mexican restaurant had amazing salsa, the same vibe carries through with the entrees , but unfortunately it wasn't my experience. I would probably try once more and edit my review based on a second experience.

I've been here before, and the birria tacos were exactly what I needed for a late-night craving. Crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling and strong flavor - they really hit the spot. I ended up having four of them. The consomé on the side was really good too - rich and flavorful, almost something I could've just had on its own. The street tacos were solid. The carnitas had that tender, slightly crisp texture, and the al pastor added a bit more seasoning and contrast. Nothing overcomplicated, just straightforward and satisfying. Service was friendly, and the setup is quick and casual. In the South Bay where places tend to close early, it was nice that they were open until around 10pm. Overall, this is a no-frills taco spot where the focus is on the food. Easy choice when you're in the mood for tacos.

My wife ordered their chicken tortilla soup which has been a longtime favorite. The size of the bowl has diminished about 30% from what I remember but that's been a common theme the past few years in many places so oh well. We also ordered a side of chicken taquitos which came with a generous amount of sour cream and guacamole. The food was very good overall although the chunks of beef in my tamale were dry. I prefer chicken but unfortunately they were out. I should have asked for pork but didn't think about it till later. Our server was very helpful and just a sweet, thoughtful young lady.

Tortilla worked well for the taco. It was also bland but I was able to salvage it with some of their spicy salsa that I requested.
