    2. Huevos con Chorizo

    Great place the price for portion is the reason I made this my go to stop. El mejor lugar para comer rico y el precio es justo para la cantidad de comida

    I ordered the camarones al mojo de ajo and they were not clean. they were prepared with the shrimp poop vein still inside. The cashier was nice enough to give me a refund. This was my first and last time coming here.

    Sopa 20. Caldo de Pollo

    La comida es excelente el servicio es excepcional antes vivía cerca de el restaurante y todos los días pasaba a comprar algo para comer su burritos son deliciosos su sopa son mis favoritas jamás he probado una sopa tan rica que me sepa tanto a hogar como esas sopas. Su fajitas son las mejores el lugar siempre se mantiene limpio y quisiera que otras personas también llegarán a conocer el lugar. Cuando mi familia y yo visitábamos el lugar el dueño siempre nos atendía con mucho respeto y era muy atento.

    The torta de asada was good and the green sauce is definitely home made. They also had this orange salsa has a bit of a kick but very good. They have Chicharon and plenty of seating inside. Staff was friendly, parking inside lot and on street.

    Las Fuentes has my favorite wet burritos in the Valley (Do you disagree?). However, I did not want to drive 20 minutes to Reseda so I thought I would take a chance with El Rancherito on Woodman; however, that was a mistake. - Flavor: 1/10 (I actually preferred their chips and beans more than the actual burrito. The burrito was super salty, very basic, I did not enjoy eating it- nor did my dad) - Presentation: 3/10 (see photo attached) - Packaging for Take Out: 3/10 (their red sauce spilled everywhere in the bag) +The real and only plus was that the they prepared this burrito swiftly. It took less than 10 minutes for two wet burritos to be ready. +Price: The total cost for two burritos & chips (like the photo below) and a very large drink was $26.87. It's affordable and the portion is generous. If I wasn't such a piggy, I could definitely split a burrito this size into two meals. Although I will not be back because flavor is the most important factor for me when it comes to food, I can see the appeal (big portions, decent price, quick service).

    Yeah, a little disappointed. I really wanted to like this place but it just wasn't going to happen on this visit. The service was friendly, the Salsa options were ok but the place is not that clean and the food I ordered just wasn't good. I had the Carne Asada Crunchy Taco Plate and the Carne Asada Burrito. Besides the mayonnaise heavy salad, the quality of the meat wasn't good. Every bite had gristle. I could not finish the burrito. However, my friend really likes this place so I will give it another try at some point and hopefully my experience will be much better.

    Probably the best taco place I've ever been to. It's definitely very authentic! And the melon juice is so good!! It's a must to try.

And the prices are sometimes half the price of the Ralph's down the street. The market is owned by Armenians, but unlike an Armenian grocery store, which is filled with specific ethnic food-supplies, this is almost all fresh stuff - so there is a lot of good general produce here that everyone can use. Top Buys Here: HEIRLOOM TOMATOES. - When they have them, they are usually in the two dollar per pound range. PICKLING CUCUMBERS - (which you cannot even get at the Ralph's) - Here you can buy a sack of these for a few bucks. RED BELL PEPPERS - Half the price or less than at the Ralph's. OKRA - Inexpensive and fresh. GREEN BEANS & BROAD BEANS - Both fresh and cheap (and you cannot even get broad beans at a regular super market.) And there are dozens if not hundreds of other great buys.here (like farmer's cheese, sumac, and Bulgar wheat). Definitely shop here if you live in the neighborhood. And I think that it is also worth the drive if you are not too far away. (Note: There is a good butcher shop right next door).

    THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY: Free parking for 90 minutes (good), Fantastic organic fruits /…read moreveggies and health/beauty selection are great, (good) yummy fresh juices (good), INSANE (not in a good way) store and parking design (bad). The prices are more than a bit over-the-top (ugly). Whoever designed this store deserves a smack-down. The aisles are so small you have to shimmy past people. And if you are shopping with a cart, good luck to you. Legit the most baffling design choices I've ever seen. This is an example of design that actually effects the shopping experience in a BAD WAY. Total head scratcher. Whoever designed the parking lot for the entire complex is an absolute idiot. If you need to get your cart to your car, there are several issues depending on what area you park in. First up, upon exiting the store there is a curb with no visible ramp so you have to cart-jump the curb to get down to the street level to your car. Then there is a raised planter between parking and the store so that if you are on the other side of it, you have to cart-jump the curb again. Seriously? Total failure in design on both the store and the parking. But hey - 90 minutes free parking so that's a plus. $16 for a smoothie is a little excessive for sure. Was it good? Yes. That said, while I'm happy to pay more for a great selection of organic fruits and veggies, the smoothies aren't that different from one I could make at home or get somewhere else of the same quality but for less. So if you are on a budget or just resent paying $16 for a smoothie on principal, I suggest focusing on your favorite, good stuff at Erewhon which for me is the fruits / vegetables and their outstanding selection of health / beauty products and their prepared food. from the beauty section, I got something called EVERYTHNG OIL based on the recommendation of one of the staff and it is a GREAT product -- truly my skin is transformed -- well worth the $. I also discovered a yoghurt there that I love -- Painterland Sisters -- but I now buy it at Sprouts as it is cheaper there. The prepared food selection is great! Vegan dessert selection - hallelujah! And I'm a big fan of all their vegan options actually - great stuff. I like that they give you a credit for every glass bottle you bring back -- not a small one either. $2 for each bottle! That brings down the cost of those fresh juices I love so I'll take it!! :) So spend some time finding your favorite stuff - this is a place to pick up a couple of things -- not do ALL your grocery shopping. First of all, you don't want a cart in this place -- too hard to navigate. But also, a full shop at Erewhon is 3 times what any other store would cost. But they do have some very excellent products so worth it for those things IMHO but not for EVERYTHING. Also, try to choose a time to go when it's not packed. the store is claustrophobic when full.

    With the prices we pay, a little less attitude would be appreciated and that's from a manager…read more Shopping spending I don't know 100 and something dollars on two bags of groceries, gave you the phone numbers, gave you my wife's name and mine, showed you my ID, and you still want to lecture me about how my wife needs to go on the app and make some changes.

Unfortunately, this is the only place where I got scammed! Asked multiple times & made sure the person at the meat section understood that I want goat feet, not lamb. Found out those were lamb feet when my whole house started to smell. Waste of not only those feet, also loads of spices. Asked if they have goat vuri (tripe), he said yes & gave me nari (small intestines). I had no idea a Bangladeshi store would even carry those. Trashed after thawing. Because it was a chunk of iceberg when he cut those & I had no idea. He knew clearly what I was looking for & yet sold me that junk for a lot of money. It is totally unacceptable & immoral to scam anyone (forget fellow Bangladeshi). Not only they lost a potential customer, but also now they have this review & I'll make sure to inform everyone I know to avoid this place. So many other Bangladeshi stores around there to choose from (I won't name any so it doesn't look like I'm either promoting or trying to denounce this place to help any other stores around). I hope they realize their mistakes & start fresh with better business ethics.
