    Breakfast and Combinations

    Food was good but a bit pricey. Staff was friendly and there was plenty seating. It is cash only and they have an ATM in the lobby.

    Breakfast Burrito - Jamon/Ham
    Pancho V.

    I should have got Tacos!, I should have got Tacos!, I should have got Tacos!..... I came here one early AM and while I should have got Tacos! I wanted Huevos, they do have a small Breakfast selection BUT NO Breakfast Burritos on the menu, I figure they got tortillas so I asked and they said yes! Breakfast Burrito - Jamon con Huevo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=JRTnvDgwc7C9_efJhB0Thg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg At first look a good size burrito, filled with Egg, Ham, Beans and Cheese https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=vQjRAq1_xd8vhoaua4D3uw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg this thing was like 80% Beans! and they were not seasoned well... couple of eggs scrambled, not much ham and the cheese? it was like hunting for where's Waldo! NOW I'm a Frijolero BUR if I wanted a Bean Burrito that's what I would have ordered, VERY bland burrito and their salsa roja save it from the trash. 1-Star Breakfast Burrito - Machaca con Huevo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=2sAso6v6MK7P3BS9cMOLNw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Eggs, Machaca, Beans, Cilantro, Onions and Salsa Does this one get any better?? https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=g9spyYQH8XOBKZbGLWsTxA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg yeah it looks good, where's the Machaca? a few small pieces are in there somewhere. 1-Star Salsa Roja - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=N6g5yo_sBal8qcCaBhw5Xw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Some good stuff, without this the burritos would have gone in the trash. In general a 1-Star place I'd be one and done..... I should have just got Tacos! so I shall return someday....

    This is the most disgusting restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. The food is awful and the bathroom is even worse. The guacamole is watery, the lettuce has such strong preservatives it doesn't even taste like lettuce. Service is slow. When I sent the bathroom pictures to the owners he said it was clean. Makes you wonder what the kitchen is really like. Don't go unless you have a death wish

    Al pastor tacos with "everything" on it
    Alan B.

    Was waiting for a friend and got hungry, saw this place near by and I was craving tacos!! Went in and got super fast service! I got 3 al pastor tacos with everything on them and I wasn't disappointed! The meat was juicy and fresh and the salsa they used wasn't too spicy. I felt it was just right. They have a great selection of different meats to choose from so you can put them in tacos or burritos or tortas. Will for sure be coming back again. Tacos were priced average but so worth it! Keep up the good work!!

    There is a term you say in Hawai'i that when something is good, it "broke da mouth." AND THIS…read moreVEGAN Mexican dinner by El Cocinero BROKE MY MOUTH! I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

    First time at El cocinero, planning on coming back again and again and again!!!!!!!…read more I was informed it was all and everything is vegan which I love tacos and to find a vegan Mexican spot that is all vegan came in clutch. This place had everything you'd need and tastes so good for a vegan spot. You would be able to fool me and tell me this is actual meat and I'd believe it. That's how good it was! I got the quesadilla (half asada, half al pastor) omg that was the best thing I have ever had. The cheese melts and pulls just like regular Cheese. The meat was so juicy and good flavor. I'd get it again and again But I'd probably try the tacos next time along with the quesadilla tbh. I also got the flan which was tbh less sweeter than a regular flan. But hey I still loved it, I don't complain about it. It was still delicious. (Funny incident, I ordered the flan at the front and paid for it.i wasn't told anything else by the guy at the register. SoThen went back to the table and Waited and waited and waited for a good 20 minutes, till I asked about it and was told that I can just grab it out of the refrigerator!!!! Smh, as much as I was upset as much as I for some reason just found it funny. So don't do the same mistake I did and just go grab it right after you pay for it.) Overall, I loved everything and all the things about this place. Nice seating areas, nice environment , helpful workers,convenient parking! And most importantly, delicious food. Definitely be visiting this place again!

The waitresses were so pleasant and attentive the entire time. Now let's talk about the food... 10/10.

Definitely worth coming back for.

    A Hidden Gem for Fresh Seafood & Family Vibes!…read more We visited Marisco Corona as a party of six--four adults and two toddlers (under 3)--and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Despite it being a busy spot, we were seated right away, which is a huge plus when you have little ones in tow! The Drinks & Starters We started with the Horchata and the Pineapple Water (Agua de Piña). Both were refreshing, authentic, and clearly made with care. If you like traditional Mexican drinks, these are a must-try. The Food Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and felt incredibly fresh. A standout for us was the homemade corn tortillas--you can really taste the difference! Our table shared: * Mojarra & Pescado al Mojo de Ajo: Perfectly cooked and seasoned. * Lobster Plate: Succulent and generous. * Surf & Turf Tacos: These were a highlight! Loaded with carne asada and creamy guacamole, then topped with perfectly grilled shrimp. Each plate comes with rice, beans, and a side salad, but they are super flexible--we were able to substitute fries for the rice and beans on some plates, which is great for picky eaters or just a change of pace. Service & Atmosphere The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center, so parking was easy to find, which takes the stress out of the arrival. Even though the dining room was buzzing and busy, our waitress was incredibly nice and the entire staff was well-attended to our needs. Bottom line: If you're looking for delicious, flavorful seafood in a family-friendly environment, Marisco Corona is the place to go. We will definitely be back!

I stumbled upon Monarca on Yelp and we decided to try it out! We arrive and are nicely greeted by one of the employees at the counter. The inside was clean and well kept which we love. My wife and I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and the green chilaquiles. She got the Deluxe burrito and I got the chorizo. We bring them home and open up the bag and these things are MASSIVE! In the best way! We begin taking bites and are both amazed. Me a little bit more. I really really enjoyed this burrito. Maybe because it has rice instead of potatoes, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. My wife also really enjoyed hers; she gave it a 7.5 out of 10. I give my burrito a 9/10. Our chilaquiles were a whole other story and flavor profile. The carne asada that came with it was life changing. Whatever seasoning they used on tha carne asada is perfect. My wife was deeply impressed. The sauce, the chips, the eggs, beans and rice were all very very good as well. All complimented each other very well.

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!
