Recently came here on the way up the 5. Been here before and was a big fan. I seriously should…read morethink that I should just make a trip here every time I'm driving through, lol. As the name suggests, they specialize in vampiros. They have a lot of other items on the menu as well, but I've ordered the vampiros each time. It was a Friday afternoon before the dinner rush so the place wasn't too crowded and the vibe was chill. Service was friendly as usual or expected. I got a couple of vampiros and a taco. Loaded them up with toppings and just enjoyed a fantastic, reasonably priced meal.

Found out through a friend they do catering and we hired them to do our son's birthday party. I am…read moreso happy that we did. We had about 40-50 guest total and God damn the food was bomb AF! Their presentation, their service, the food, the sides, the agua fresca's were all fantastic. I've never drank so much jamaica in my life. The tacos, the vampiros and mulitas were all chefs kiss What stood out to me above and beyond the great food and presentation was their service. They were connecting with all my guest just chopping it up, smiling, laughing, and just became part of the party. They kept checking with everyone ensuring the food was good, they reminded people to come get seconds, they made what we paid for their service absolutely worth it. At the end I didn't even want them to leave and just hang out and enjoy the party with us because of how personable and friendly they were. I am so glad I got introduced to them like this and will definitely make it a point to go into their restaurant more often cause everyone at my party loved their food and service. I wish them continued success!

It smelled like a completely different truck, and I was told it's under the same ownership--but it…read moredidn't feel that way at all. The truck itself looks different now, and unlike before, there were no prices posted outside, which was a red flag. The green sauce had an off texture. The tortillas were still good, but they were out of key meats like asada and cabeza, and no one could explain why. That left me ordering chicken (which was bland), pastor, and lengua--which ended up being tough. Overall, the experience was disappointing compared to what it used to be. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

My second time visiting this taco spot. My previous review talks about how much I like this place…read more But my first time here I only got the tacos. On this trip, I got my usual go to at taco trucks which is a couple of tacos and a mulita! Just as delicious as I remembered. I came through on the later side, so there wasn't that long of a line. The place was really chill on the people were really friendly. This place is located in Sylmar, which is where the 5 and the 405 converge. So if I haven't gotten food yet, it's a great stop on the way up to see my folks in the Bay Area. So glad I did. I think I should start making a tradition whenever I drive up.

Enter from the back, enjoy the paintings done by a well known San Fernando artist, a US Vietnam vet, the late Federico Blanco. Continue down the hall to the dining area. Beautifully decorated with warm colors, culturally significant and welcoming. There are booths around the perimeter of the room and plenty of tables and chairs. We are always greeted and seated upon arrival. The menu has great choices. The food is authentic and delicious. So many choices! Chile relleno is one of my favorites. But there are wonderful beef and pork selections. Recently a friend loved her chicken mole! The desserts are also great, so save room for cheesecake or carrot cake. And next door is a little bakery, so pick up something to bring home! This is a great restaurant to have a party or family get together. I have done both. I hosted a Cinco de Mayo luncheon with 35 ladies, some of whom had never been to that part of the valley. They loved it. Go and enjoy! Parking in the back. Support small local family businesses.

I wasn't a fan of this place. My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch, and although the…read morerestaurant wasn't very crowded, the service was still surprisingly slow. We were seated in the bar area near the payment counter, which wasn't very comfortable. There was a constant flow of people coming in and out, making the area feel busy and crowded. Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor. My friend immediately reached for the salt shaker after trying her pozole, and I could barely eat the rice that came with my enchilada combination. The rice was cold, sticky, and completely bland. The beans were okay, and the enchiladas were decent, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, the experience was disappointing due to the slow service, uncomfortable seating, and underwhelming food.

I can't believe I've lived in Sylmar for almost 6 years and somehow never noticed this little gem!…read more From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've escaped to a little beach town in Mexico. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and exactly where you want to be on a hot summer day. The seafood was incredibly fresh and refreshing. I ordered the campechana kora, and my husband had the Aguachiles, both were absolutely delicious and perfect for the heat. What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind, patient, and welcoming. My husband has been practicing his Spanish, and instead of making him feel self-conscious, they were incredibly encouraging and sweet with him. It made the whole meal feel even more authentic and enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere that makes you forget you're just minutes from home. I can't believe it took me this long to find Ceviches, but it definitely won't be six years before my next visit!

I was looking for highly rated seafood restaurants on Yelp, and this restaurant was on the list…read more After reading the reviews, I got excited to give it a try. Parking was easy to find, which was a plus. The ambiance was casual, relaxed, and family-friendly. They have multiple TVs throughout the restaurant, and during my visit, they were showing a soccer game. I always like it when a restaurant broadcasts sporting events, even if it means the place sometimes gets very packed. I was really looking forward to trying their shrimp ceviche, but to my disappointment, they had run out by the time I arrived. I decided to go with my backup option instead: the camarones a la diabla. Camarones a la diabla is a dish consisting of shrimp cooked in a spicy red chile sauce. This restaurant also serves it with rice, toast, and a side of vegetables. As the name suggests, the shrimp are supposed to be spicy. As a spice enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for the best spicy dishes. The shrimp were cooked well, but they had a sweet taste. It almost seemed as if they had used ketchup in the sauce to tone down the heat. I'm honestly not a fan of mixing sweet with spicy, at least when it comes to protein. The vegetables that came with the dish were soggy and flavorless. The rice was okay but could have been better. The toast was pretty good, it was buttery, garlicky, and crispy. Overall, this dish wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best. The service during my visit was good. My server was attentive and helpful. He frequently stopped by to check if everything was okay. Overall, this experience didn't turn out exactly as I had expected, but it wasn't a bad experience by any means. I might return one day to try their shrimp ceviche.
