    Three pollo & two Al pastor soft tacos.
    Chris P. B.

    Small parking lot. I almost got hit while going to the restaurant. No togo menu & soft rubbery tortillas. What else can I say about the negative things about this place? The food tastes good & the portions can be bigger.

    My first visit but not my last! I tried the tacos al vapor & de canasta. I personally thought los de canasta were more flavorful. Kudos to the super friendly staff and the agua de guayaba was a treat! The carne asada could have used more seasoning, but the carnitas were pretty good.

This restaurant is in a strip mall with: DD's, Yoshinoya and Smart and Final on Azusa. We ordered these quesobirria tacos x4 $5 each,1 consome to share $1.50, and their surf & turf burrito $16. Did we expect the tacos to be better than the ones at Disney's DCA at a 10 rating? Especially since these were soft not fried like DCA's. No, but tell you what, these were an 8 since we are comparing. NOW, the next day, I heated up the leftover 2 tacos in my air fryer at 425 for 6 min. Guess what? They are a 10 out of 10, just like DCA's!!!! Fuego can you fry these up? I My husband and I shared the surf and turf burrito. It was large enough to share! Heavy, packed with moist rice, melted cheese, birria and shrimp. Only modification we ask for was no pico and no chipotle crema. The shrimp was freshly cooked on the plancha and to perfection (had a snap). I was worried at first, no one wants rubbery shrimp. This was by far our most favorite item, and probably the best burrito i've ever had!!!! My husband said he'll buy me my own next time. Sorry, I don't have a photo. We gobbled that up so quick. So now I'm thinking we should order burritos to eat now and order the tacos to take home for next day air fryer meals. Now we can skip on them at DCA and enjoy other things we love to eat at Disney .

    This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken bowl I…read moreordered. It was fresh, tasty, and filling. It was actually delicious! The combination of pinto beans, grilled chicken, Spanish rice, and Pico de gallo made for a perfect blend. This bowl tasted similar to El Pollo Loco's pollo bowl, but it was larger and had more of everything. The horchata I had was also very good. The service I received was good, and the vibe here is relaxed and enjoyable. The prices were just right for my lunch, and after visiting once, I will definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

    We were in the area and decided to stop in for a quick lunch…read more We ordered the carne asada torta, which my husband rated a 7/10. He said it was good, but the flavors just weren't quite there. My son had the 3 carne asada taco combo with rice, beans, and a drink. He gave the tacos a 7/10 as well. I ordered the 2 chicken taquitos with a side of guacamole. They were tasty! They're not your typical taquitos..the shell is much thinner, almost like an egg roll wrapper, which gave them a different texture that I actually liked. My only thought was the value. The two taquitos were almost $10, and for that price I think adding a third taquito would make the portion feel a little more in line with the rest of the menu. The 3-taco combo was around the same price and included rice, beans, and a drink, so it just felt like the better value. Service was friendly, and there was plenty of outdoor seating, with some indoor seating available as well. Overall, it was a good lunch stop if you're in the area.

There are three businesses all clustered together, each with a separate entrance, so I ended up accidentally parking in a private doctor's office lot and was told to leave. Eventually, I found the small parking lot with just four or five spaces so if it gets busy, it might be tough. But once I got inside, it was worth it! I entered from the back door, which passes through the restrooms on the left and the kitchen on the right, leading to a cute seating area. It's small but super cozy, with a lovely bar filled with lemons, napkins, and lots of hot sauces at each table: at least seven or eight types! But the real star here is the food. The tacos are absolutely incredible! fresh and full of flavor. I ordered three: carne asada, fish, and shrimp. The fish and shrimp both have the option to be fried or grilled, so I went with fried, and they were fantastic. The flour tortillas were perfect, and I also got a pineapple agua fresca. it was ice cold and so refreshing. The price was really reasonable, and I'm honestly surprised this place isn't more popular. I can see it being a hit so, definitely, I'll be coming back soon!

I liked that you had the option for fish tacos to be grilled or fried - I had 2 of the grilled ones. Great flavor and lots of fixings.

Bathroom is not too great and needed some work while we were there. Great value on prices and speed of service was very impressive. I will be back for sure.
