It was my first time coming and was so amazed when I saw that my sopes were made with fresh masa. The fresh masa truly does change up the food taste. My sopes were delicious and size of them were so eye opening. They were huge! I had 1 for lunch and the second for my afternoon break. I also tried their homemade agua de horchata that was refreshing and delicious. Service was great and was attended quickly. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. Lastly, there salsas were so perfect with spice. I loved it!

Came here while I was on the hunt for a good carne asada burrito. I placed my order over the phone…read moreand picked it up to go. The burrito itself was pretty big and filling. I liked that they use refried beans inside, and the overall flavor was good. My only issue was the meat to rice and beans ratio. There was definitely a lot more rice than carne asada, and I would've liked a little more meat in there. Overall, the burrito was good and the portion was a decent size, but I think it would've been much better with more carne asada. I noticed their wet burrito seems pretty popular, so that's probably what I'll try next time.

You order first then you have a seat & they bring it all out to ya. We started off by ordering the pina de cucumber agua frescasss!! Woahhh! Incredible, it was perfect & I would come back just for that alone! We also ordered some asada chilaquiles came with rice & beans, eggs & chips! Bomb, my bf loved em! We ordered their Menudo. Also got a pancake breakfast came with 2 bacon & 2 sausage usually places only do 1 or the other! But not here & I love that! Sausage was so juicy & delicious! Pancakes so fluffy & buttery. Everything we had was so good, loved all their recommendations. The owners & Myra were so nice & lovely. Great customer service! Shout out to Myra on all her help, getting us everything we needed, that girl is on it! I love that this place is family owned, you can really see & feel how much love they put into brother's burger! Will 100% be back! & don't forget always order the agua fresca ya won't regret it!

The ambiance would have been good, if it wasn't for the tv that was in a channel with a movie. The problem was the previous and ads, in my opinion, were not appropriate for the younger audience, especially not good for little ones. About the service, not rude, but not as friendly as expected. I understand the only lady was busy, but didn't bother to check on us and the food wasn't ready for both of us at the same time, so with all the fans on the ceiling and the floor fans my food got cold by the time my husbands pork chops arrived. It is wheelchair accessible, but there ate only booths, so I'm not sure of the wheelchair in either isle it would block the traffic.

Located inside a gas station, a bright and clean sign outside the doors will show you this is indeed where an amazing breakfast burrito exists. Once you walk inside you'll see the counter right across from you. This part of the gas station is arguably the cleanest part of it. With clean counters, large LED screen showing the menu, and friendly smiles behind the counter this is a restaurant where there is pride in what they make. As mentioned by so many people who've come here Lolita is know for their breakfast burritos. The burritos are no joke and they are as large as someone's forearm. Packed to the brim with eggs, potatoes, and your meat of choice this is a burrito that'll get you through not just the morning but well into the afternoon. They make it fresh as well so you'll wait a bit to get them but when they come to you, it'll be steaming hot and the smell alone will make your mouth water. They also are known for their tortas, even making a milanesa torta, something not every place has on their menus. Uniquely, the bread they use is a sesame roll which I believe is toasted. It's an interesting taste, but can feel a little too much to the mouth after a while. The great thing is because the size is so large you can have one half immediately and the other later when your hunger returns. I've passed by this gas station so many times and never once thought about going in and checking it out. Now that I know Lolita Fast Food lives here it'll be hard for me not to come in and get something to go.

Solid 4.5 stars You know how you always see so many taco trucks or stands on a main street? Do you ever stop by all of them and check them out? No need, I am the one who eats. My goal is to try all the taco stands in Los Angeles. Located in front of an El Monte Numero Uno market and CVS, this is one of my new finds and definitely one that I would eat at every week. Their style is like a blend of Tj and traditional taco stands. This is their setup: charcoal grill only for asada, pastor spit, stewing pot, vast condiments stand (incl. guacamole), and auga frescas. Asada is grilled nicely and retains so much flavors despite I didn't get a freshly grilled batch. If it retains grilled flavors and stays juicy after sitting in the steam bath containers, it must be seasoned well and the right cut of beef was chosen. Pastor is nicely seasoned and not that greasy. They sometimes will give you pineapples but it is still good without it. I wished it was sweeter and a bit more meat juicy but I can't fault their pastor because it's beautifully cut and roasted. Goes really well with grilled onions. Cabeza is tender and already seasoned; good amount of meat and fat (albeit more fat, makes it juicier) makes it perfect for two tortillas. Tripas is good; it may not have the best flavors but it is nicely stewed, grilled right, and tastes clean. They use store-bought tortillas but don't fret, all the flavors are there. They use the stewing meat pot's (cabeza, buche, tripas) oil to season their tortillas for grilling. Their dark red salsa is seriously perfect :D nicely roasted chiles smoke flavor combined with a thick savory consistency makes it perfect for any meats. Not too spicy to be unenjoyable but enough to make you want more. The workers told me it's a blend of arbol chiles. This is one of the best salsa I've had at taco stands. Guacamole salsa has a decent amount of avocado with the right acidity, saltiness, and creamy texture. Again, goes well on any meat. The fact that they let you scoop this yourself makes the $2 a bargain. Salsa verde is good; high acidity (I like) and a good tomatillo flavor makes this a good choice for those who enjoy a mild salsa (it's on the upper end of mild). The orange salsa (taquera) is spicy! Good smoky flavors and only a few drops are needed for a nice burning kick. I need to come back and try rest of their meats (I always get their asada and pastor every time) because I keep getting what tastes good even though I should try the rest :) Their quesadillas and alambre portions are HUGE especially if you order multiples. Give this place a try and tell me if I'm wrong. I eat tacos every week and typically drive to South LA for my likings, but this place is winning my emotions. This is the upper echelon of $2 tacos in SGV.

Came across Mike L's review for Tacos Xaam and decided to check it out myself. Seeing the open…read morecondiments table and the unlimited sauces were pretty much what drew me in. Not sure if there are set hours that they are set up, but we stopped by on a Thursday night last week to grab some tacos for dinner. They're located on Garvey Avenue (near the back of the parking lot), in front of the Numero Uno Market - there's also a small churro stand adjacent to Tacos Xaam as well as a hot dog stand in the plaza across the street. So when we walked up to the stand, we saw one of the workers managing the meat. They have pastor roasting on a spit while some meats are inside of a pot and other meats that have already been premade. We originally only wanted asada tacos, but the worker convinced me to try the pastor. And I ended up adding a cabeza and tripa as well. I'm not a taco connoisseur, but I have to say that I really enjoyed the tacos from this stand. For one thing, they give a ton of meat! Tacos are a little pricier than the place that we usually visit ($2 a piece), but I think the quality is there - and the quantity is definitely there! Out of all the ones that I tried, I actually enjoyed the tripas taco the most. This was on the crispy side and retained its crunch as I bit into the taco. The tortillas are on the oily side with the combination of the oil and the meat, but everything tasted really good together. And of course, you have to try the asada if you're getting a taco. We ordered five or six of these - my sister agreed that it was packed with meat and really tasty. The steak was cooked well and wasn't chewy or dry. I also ordered cabeza on a whim and thought it was pretty good, but probably not my favorite. This reminded me of the beef stew meat that my mom makes at home. It had good flavor and was actually really filling, but I'd prefer asada over the cabeza. The worker asked why I didn't want to try the pastor, so of course I gave in and ordered one. I really liked the fact that this came with some grilled pineapples - reminded me of the Brazilian steakhouses! This was a little on the salty side, but with the addition of the sauces and condiments - I'd say that the taste was really good. If you order your tacos to eat there, they serve it on a plate, making it easy to load up your tacos with the condiments. If you plan to eat them at home, they offer bags for the condiments as well as sauce containers to scoop out the sauces. There was a container for lemons, onions, cilantro (love that this was by itself and finely chopped), and a spicy jalapeno pepper/onion mix that looked way more innocent than it tasted. Unfortuately there weren't any limes that night - as for the sauces, there's the guacamole, salsa verde, and two kinds of red sauces that looked super intimidating. We enjoyed the salsa verde the most - not spicy and had a nice zest to it. The people operating this booth were friendly - everything was super fast and we got our tacos within minutes. tl;dr - Tacos Xaam is definitely a taco stand you want to consider for those late night cravings! It's a little further out there than the regular SGV places, but it's worth it. They also have quesadillas, burritos, tortas, etc. I will return to get more tacos!

Breakfast officially ended at 11:30 a.m., but they were still willing to make breakfast dishes for us, which was appreciated. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a traditional Mexican restaurant, with Mexican music playing in the background and Mexican-inspired artwork decorating the walls. The food did take a while to come out, but everything tasted fresh, so the wait seemed understandable. I ordered chilaquiles with carne and two eggs over easy, but the eggs were not cooked over easy as requested. Aside from that, the meal was enjoyable. Our order included an apple juice, four asada tacos, chilaquiles with carne and two eggs, a molcajete for one, a Jarritos, a Mexican Coke, and a churro flan. The total came to $102.
