    Good taste !!! Excelente service!!!

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

    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

    Gloria's Cocina Mexican Restaurant has been a family tradition for celebrating birthdays and…read morespecial occasions for many years. We've been coming here since they first opened, and the food has always been delicious. Over the years, we've seen a lot of changes, but the friendly service has remained consistent. One thing I've noticed recently is that the salsa served with the chips isn't the same as it used to be. It seems much more watered down now, which takes away from the flavor we used to enjoy. Another issue is the restroom situation. There is only one restroom stall, and on busy days the wait can be quite long. It can be inconvenient, especially when the restaurant is crowded. Overall, the food is still very good, and this restaurant holds many special memories for my family. I hope they consider improving the salsa and restroom accommodations to make the dining experience even better.

The ceviche great portion, my wife loves the lemony to it. The fajita trio wow great mix portions of each rice and beans and guacamole it's own plate. Food was cooked well and very tasty price to product well matched in my opinion The flour tortillas are made in house freshly made. Served hot.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

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 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.

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.
