    Good taste !!! Excelente service!!!

    Excelente servicio !!! La comida estuvo muy buena, precio considerable para la porción de tacos !!! Definitivamente regresaré

    Menu April 2023

    Really solid place for late night taco cravings. Asada fries 4/5 wish it had just a touch more meat on there, but overall great. One of the few places that still use skinny fries! Pastor tacos 4/5 Taste was good, tacos were standard. They definitely got flavor.

    Food was good! Did not give 5 stars because the machines don't work & was a bit messy and smelly

    Ordered burrito de tripas and asked it to be medium cooked. Its burnt and rock hard. Ordené un burrito de tripas. Lo pedi media-cocida. Me lo dieron quemada y bien duro.

    This El Atacor location is open 24 hours a day like the Whittier location. This location caters to those who live in Pico Rivera and Downey and that do not want to drive to Whittier. Tacos are good as usual. Larger parking lot. Close to the 605. El Atacor charges 80 cents for debit and credit card use. Among the best tacos in the Pico Rivera and Downey areas. Highly recommended.

    Metal in my food .. how does this happen ?
    Mayra C.

    This is usually the place to go to get tacos after the bar. Food is good here, the staff is basically there to do their job not much of a personality. I'm giving them 3 stars because we found a piece of metal in the food. I called the place to inform them so they could be careful with stuff like that but all they would tell me is that the manager was not there and he would call me but never did.

    I love this place! Order the champorado and a super burrito with birria and order it Mojado verde, it's literally my favorite thing to eat also I come out here with my drag sisters so it's also excepting and a good sit down spot! :)

    Worse caldo de res ever! And 1 calabaza 1 chayote 1 little corn this is a large one  sooo bad

    I finally made the drive to Downey to try this chicken spot I have been eyeing for monthsssss!…read moreTheir parking lot is located in the back of the restaurant as street parking appears to be limited. They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

    We picked this place as a last-minute dinner option since none of us had tried it before, and we…read morethought it would be worth a shot. We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised they still accepted our order only 30 minutes before closing. I had the mushroom wrap because it seemed like a healthier option. The vegetables inside were cooked well and nicely seasoned, but the wrap itself was a little dry. It came with a salad, which was a nice addition. I'd still return for the wrap. The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

I found out later that the white sauce helped neutralize the hotness, but yes, that Lebamex sauce is a must try!!! I also preferred the hot cheetos burrito over the other one but that's probably because I tried it first! Both were great! Thanks for the experience! Im not usually in Downey, but hope I can visit again soon! ------- Hey! The service here is impeccable! The workers are so kind to me. I randomly came here on impulse because I was in the area and it was the first one my last that sounded interesting. There were a good amount of people that it looked really good. I saw many people coming in to order and pick up, so they seem a comfort food staple. They're very personable! They gave recommendations for me for what to order. I got the asada hot cheetos and the mix shawarma wrap. The smell of cooking here is delightful! I already know the food is going to be good with how the people dining in and taking out look really happy and excited. Thanks Yelp for the new suggestion! Also, idk if it was just because it's Sunday, but parking was plenty and easy. Good sized parking lot!

My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

My friend got the breakfast bowl and I tried some. It was basically the same as the burrito but just deconstructed with quinoa as a base. It was all great!

The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered gorditas, guacamole, and nachos. I had a margarita, and my friend enjoyed her nachos with a refreshing cucumber drink. We also purchased a cup of *Champurado* to go, after sampling it - and it's truly exceptional. My gorditas featured a delicious mushroom "meat" and soy chorizo. The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.
