El sábado pasado fui a comer con mi esposa,no se si cambiaron de dueño pero nos dieron el pollo todo seco y parecía que nos dieron godornis unas piezas muy pequeños por el precio que pagamos,la verdad no volveré a jamás a ese lugar y no lo recomiendo,lo único bueno son las tortillas read more

Terrible! I went in for my usual order (gorditas) there were two women, one of the women who was amasando helped a customer, handled cash, and went back to her station without changing her black gloves, Twice! Same gloves with masa all over taking cash and handling food. This was one of my favorites since I was a child. Unfortunately ever since The original owner don Juanito this place has no care for the consumer's health. I asked for my money back after seeing that and brought to their attention the importance of hygiene. they tried to say only the "manager" would be able to do that who was conveniently not there. So i left my contact info, still waiting on that call/reimbursement. Never again! read more

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're in the valley and want some bomb chicken this is the place. I always get the full chicken combo with beans and rice with the home made tortillas. My family loves it when I bring it home . Definitely recommend! read more

The food was nasty and really greasy,I ordered tacos de asada and a menudo they both were super greasy and one of the workers spilled the hot soup on my step brother and to top it off they had cockroaches on the chairs inside I do NOT! Recommend this place unless you want nasty food. read more

Yummy best chile verde burritos. I recommend calling ahead. They offer zelle and Venmo .

The best mesquite chicken ever. My husband and I were driving by and have seen it before and decided to stop by. Right away we were greeted by the Señora and she was super sweet and kind. We got the whole chicken meal that came with cut up chicken, tortillas which were handmade beans, rice, and salsa. Let me tell you the flavor was so amazing. Super juicy and super fresh chicken. We enjoyed it so much we went back again this week. When we went it was calm but it can get busy at times. read more

This restaurant is a great option if you're in the mood for some tasty and comforting chicken dishes. The chicken is cooked just right, with a crispy skin and juicy meat. The beans and rice are a simple, yet satisfying, side that complements the chicken perfectly. The atmosphere is amazing, making it a great place to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family. Overall, it's a solid choice for a flavorful and filling meal. The employees are very welcoming and offer great service. They also offer delivery!! read more

Good tasting Mexican food. Small area inside to sit down to eat. Order at the window.

16$ for a half of a chicken .. seriously ? ( for the location I think is way too overpriced ) This looks more like a breast chicken chopped in 4 parts !! Taste is salty and you can even taste the pepper . What a rip off . Always check your bag before taking it home . read more

Spotted this place on a bike ride this morning and thought I'd give it a try as I smelled the chicken on the grill as I passed. Got the Pollo a Carbon Burrito. It was good. Big, just like I like it and the chicken was quite tasty. I was happy. My gf, a vegetarian, was a little disappointed by the options. She got the Chile Verde Quesadillas which unexpectedly came with meat. Next time she'll be sure to request no meat or maybe have to try something else. Not sure if you can get it without the meat, looks like it's cooked with it. We also got some Nachos, no meat. I think they'd be better with meat so no comment on those yet. We will be back to try some other stuff. A nice little neighborhood restaurant. read more

The food it's ok but the employees are very rude also they charge you extra when using a credit card whit out letting you know the guy at the register doesn't care about your business read more

So bomb!! We catered for my sister graduation party and every raved about the food!! We ordered chicken, beef fajitas, rice and beans. Their salas was so good too!! read more

Excellent food!!! We had a party and El Michoacáno catered it. Everyone absolutely loved the food, I was so happy we chose them.

Eat Where the locals eat. This is a great local Mexican food restaurant in an area that is gentrifying. The food is authentic and the Salas's are hot!! But tasty. They don't speak much English so better try "yo Quiero". The food is comparable to most family owned Mexican street front places. Give it a shot, across from a Costco. read more

This place is cash only but that's ok they mean business , I always pass this place on San Fernando rd by Costco and the smell is wonderful till u try the chicken Unbelievable very moist and juicy not salty nor dry it's just very tasty and with a stack of handmade tortillas and rice n beans for $25 Take out that cash it's worth it I got here before 5pm on a Saturday and it was the last bit of chicken I think it's still worth the price read more

My company just leased a contractor's yard down the street. Thought I'd check out the neighborhood before the sun went down. Haha! Just kidding. Had their signature pollo al carbon. Homemade corn tortillas! Three stars because the rice and beans were cold but I was hungry. The tortillas and chicken were amazing. Served with roasted jalapeno and 3 kinds of salsa. Their red salsa and pico de gallo were spicy and flavorful. read more

This place has great food but my only complaint is they always have me waiting another 20 - 30 minutes.

El Michoacano - Half chicken combo - Mexican Near Me - Pacoima, California

Love this place. Eat here for lunch once a week for a good 6 months now. The old school Taco stands in Los Angeles Are everywhere, and some do things better than others. With this place, everything I've had is really good. Now, that out of the way, let's get to the excellent. Their carnitas is some of the best I've had. They do it proper. Juicy in the middle. And a bit crispy on the edges. Their chile verde is spicy! And delicious if you can handle the heat. (You've been warned) one of my favorites here. Their horchata is without a doubt my favorite in town. The quesadilla al comal is a handmade tortilla fried like a soft hard shell filled with whatever. Honorable mention to that. Workers are very sweet. If you love old school LA taco stands, it's worth a stop. read more

El Michoacano - Chicken mole, chile verde(amazing), tacos de asada y buche tortillas hechas a mano and horchata .... - Mexican Near Me - Pacoima, California

Don't waste your time nor money . From seeing the grill outside I thought they would have good Mexican food . Or so I thought , I ordered a carne asada burrito and asked for no rice because I dislike when the I get a burrito stuffed with everything but meat , to my surprised when I received my 15$ burrito it was COMPLETELY STUFFED WITH RICE a I couldn't even tell if there was meat in the burrito . Never will they have my business nor any of my family's . Strongly recommend you drive .3 miles down to a different Mexican restaurant and don't stop here ! read more
