    Best carnitas tacos in town!!!! The customer service was fantastic tand the ambiance was okay but the carnitas tacos were simply amazing!!! I'll definitely be back!

    Sopes al Gusto. Delicious with the Valentina sauce!

    One of my favorites Mexican restaurants. The ambiance and design of the place makes it feel like you have teleported to another county! The food came out hot and nicely displayed.

    When in Rome do as the Romans do. One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the Mexican culture and the gift of their cuisine. While running some errands in the area I found this place on Yelp. Pretty typical of a family owned Mexican restaurant. A bit warm inside as the air conditioning was on but not working very well. Overall clean but a bit disheveled in some capacities. Two small children running all over the place apparently unsupervised until mom came out after what seemed like forever. I'm sympathetic to understanding having to have your children with you at work but perhaps keep an eye on them when there's customers inside and in general. I decided to go with some tacos, 1 each of the following: El Pastore, Carnitas, Carne Asada, and Pollo Asada. Street tacos, small with onion, cilantro, and hot salsa. El Pastore was solid , nice spicy with just enough sweet, Carnitas was decent but didn't blow me away , Pollo Asada was tasty but a bit dry , and lastly and their strongest of what I tried the Carne Asada was tasty a nice char and a well balanced flavor. I washed it all down with a Diet Coke and felt over all a decent experience. As I love to Yelp I began to snap photos to which I was asked why I was doing so to which I informed them with a smile "For Yelp " they asked if I had a card.... " no, I just love to Yelp" Sorry guys in this day and age we Yelpers can either be your best ally or worst enemy. Good folks , perhaps just an off day. I'd give it another go but definitely take it to go this time.

    a burrito wrapped in aluminum foil

    I got the carne asada burrito and was disappointed. I'm not usually picky specially when it comes to supporting local businesses. BUT the asada in the burrito was too salty. That wasn't it, the rice in the burrito smelled and tasted like it was more than 4 days old. I thought it was just me so I had two more bites prior to my last one but no the rice just tasted OLD! the beans in it were ok.The only good thing was the green salsa. Not spicy but good However if you use your card to pay they charge you a extra $1 without letting you know, I didn't care about the extra dollar but they don't tell you about it.

    I don't give up fives very often. But this place blew me away. I've seen this restaurant many times and look like any other Mexican restaurant. Today one of my friends made me go in there for dinner. I ordered the Chile relleno plate and my friend had a burrito. I only spent around $18, which these days it's a bargain free meal like this. Specially for two items that come in, big portions. I also forgot to add that my plate came with homemade tortillas. When I saw the tortillas I knew this place was going to be amazing. I have never had Chile rellenos that come with onions and grilled peppers on top. My plate came with two chiles and Some of the most tasty red sauce I have ever had on top of them. You can definitely taste spices and seasonings in the sauce it self. I was not expecting the size that I got for only $11. This is not to include the fact that this was the best chili relleno I have ever had. All I was eating my dinner, It was in explosion of flavors in my mouth. It was seriously a home-cooked dinner. I loved the mother and daughter duo. It was like having my grandmother cook for me and the detail in their meals is fully noted. Also try their salsa as they speak for themselves. This is seriously a hidden gem on Sunland Boulevard. Do not knock this place, you have to try this authentic Mexican place

I…read moreordered the Fajita Quesadilla Carne Asada but the employee said it was the quesadilla fajita carne asada or carne asada quesadilla fajita or carne asada fajita quesadilla. It was just worded differently than on the menu. I ordered it because there wasn't a picture of it on the website. It's a flour tortilla stuffed with mozz/jack cheese, grilled onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and carne asada. It's served with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo. The sour cream is on top of iceberg lettuce. It came with complimentary chips and salsa since it's under antojitos. I assumed I'd get one quesadilla but I got what looks like three. Each quesadilla was filled with carne asada, cheese, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions. It made me full by the second quesadilla. The restaurant was dimly lit so the atmosphere was intimate. Nobody was in the restaurant yet because it just opened. The employee said it'll take 10 minutes to make and I got there after 11 minutes went by. It was already done. I was greeted when I opened the door. He asked if I was there for a pick up order and I said yes. I gave my card. Payment was processed and two receipts were printed out. I signed my name on their copy. In the restaurant, there is a waiting area. There is a soda fountain on the side. There were at least 5 booths against a wall. Mexican music played through a speaker. Sometimes decorations would be on the tables. I saw what looks like a paper mache guitar on a table. I'd order here again.

The Spanish food is some of the best you'll have in SoCal, and the ambiance is both romantic and relaxing. Our go-to's are the pulpo, the ensalada de remolacha, and the paella. Don't sleep on the jamon iberico. Pairing it with the manchego cheese is a must. I also enjoy their albondigas, berenjena frita, and pintxos. For dessert, I recommend the flan and basque cheesecake. Also, don't miss out on their excellent selection of sherry wine. Roberto is our guy! He always provides 20 out of 10 service, and we enjoy seeing him when we visit. They used to host a special tablao flamenco show on occasion inside the main building. I hope they bring it back. They still have a guitarist play on the weekends. Oh, and the place is pet friendly! Always looking forward to our next visit.

    After not seeing each other for weeks upon weeks due to conflicts and being out of town, we decided…read morea date night was needed. We had been to this small quaint and beautiful little restaurant in Montrose before and wanted to try it again. We loved their little Spanish style courtyard, the tapas, paellas, and the setting felt so good for little date night after being away for so long. Unfortunately things did not go as planned. We made reservations for 7:15pm and were hardly even greeted by the hostess that seemed she'd rather be elsewhere then to welcome us to Casa Cordoba. Problem was though even after setting the reservation time and arriving exactly at 7:15pm we weren't seated for 15min even though we saw our table being cleaned and set and just sit there unoccupied for over 15min. So we waited. When we finally sat down...our server didn't come by for another 10-15min. But we were patient and we waited. Alvin finally came -- brought us water and opened the wine we brought. A special one for this type of occasion (corkage fee was $30). We ordered the paella with squid ink and seafood since it takes up to 45min to prepare and sat down to enjoy the wine and take in the setting. That night they had live music -- a guy on an acoustic guitar playing some cool songs, from Maroon 5 to Backstreet Boys on a 12 string...at least it was live. It was pleasant. The server didn't attend to us much and just had an air about him. Idk -- they may have been super busy but wasn't sure. Finally the paella came. It was...good. Not plentifully. 7-8mussels, a quarter of an octopus tentacles, and a couple of calamari. If you're thinking that much it and rice then you're right. It was mainly rice. No vegetables accompanying it but that's the dish. That was $57 for the small version. I've made paella before. It takes time and it's a production -- but at least at home I can make one for half that price for 8 people. Maybe that's why we don't go out so often bc it ends sometimes like this. We expect a nice meal, a welcoming host or hostess, a server who enjoys the food and atmosphere and makes us feel at home, and food that we could never prepare at home. It's suppose to be an experience that you are happy to pay for. This wasn't. We were disappointed and just felt like wanting to leave. The last straw was when I signed the check on a toast machine and asked for the printed copy. The server, Alvin just left the toast machine with us and left -- attending to others and leaving us with this machine. All I wanted at the end was a thank you for dining with us and the printed copy. We had to flag another server for that copy. He eventually came, with disdain written all over and just handed me the copy, as if I had taken his time to get my the receipt which I asked. That pretty much did it. I asked to speak with the manager and was told--"oh sure. I can get him--he's the chef, give me a minute." I was floored!! No wonder!!! The chef. The back of house manager is also the front of house manager!! That says a lot. You're front of house and your guests are not being taken care of? What kind of restaurant is this? With these prices? Regardless that was it. We left -- had some great ice cream and spoke about the whole experience all the way back home. Great date night eh? Not returning.
