    I stumbled here randomly on my lunch break while I was at 711 next door so I decided to give it a shot. I was welcomed by the friendly owner whose name is Garo very nice guy. I ordered 4 tacos 2 asada and 2 pastor and each taco had an amazing taste one after another. The place was very clean and maintained along with the salsa bar and the food was great. I'll definitely be back to try the burrito next time.

    Don't let the small parking stop you!!! It's a great location to stop in and grab some Burritos and Tacos. They have plenty of seating and always something eye catching on the TV. They get your order correct every time and mark it to let you know what's in each container. Their service is amazing will continue to visit this location!! They got great Salsa, give you grilled green onion and have the best bean and cheese burritos. Cannot get enough!!

    Tucked away in a small shopping plaza on lassen desoto, a nice little hole in the wall Mexican food place. Usually get a carne asada combination plate. $17.47 after tax but it's worth it as you get bang for your buck. The owner is really nice. Food is good.

    Fast Taco is a small Mexican grill that sits at the corner of Lassen and De Soto in Chatsworth. It is located in a small strip mall. Inside one finds two round tables and wall side sitting areas, all of which have bar stools. This small restaurant is very simple, and it also has a salsa bar. All the salsas and condiments are prepared fresh in house ever day. The owner told me he has had this business since 42 years. I ordered two carne asada tacos upon entering and was told that I would also get complimentary chips. This is the first time I was never asked to pay after ordering at a counter. After sitting at my table with the chips and helping myself to the Rojo and Verde salsas I began to eat. Soon, the carne asada tacos arrived. And let me tell you, there was a lot of meat there. It comes with cheese (just a little for me), avacado and scallions on the side. I added chopped white onions to my taco and ate it with the salsa rojo (my favorite). The carne asada was prepared well and the tacos were good. Scallions could have been grilled more for char and better flavor. A few minutes after I began eating, I realized that I had not paid and went up to the counter saying so. The manager said I could do it later, gesturing for me to go back to my table. Service here was warm, courteous and very friendly. The manager was most polite and made you comfortable the moment you walked in and till you walked out. A very comfortable setting with high marks for pleasantness. This was a good find for me. Go give it a try.

    Carne asada burrito. Really good!

    I'm so glad I tried this place, I never even knew it existed considering it's hidden in 7 eleven parking lot. I only discovered it from yelping. The carne asada burrito is legit! I'm impressed and will be returning for sure! They even give you free chips and salsa unlike some places.

    Chicken Tacos

    First I would like to say the STAFF is AMAZING!!!! My chicken tacos were very dry and they forgot my cheese. Some of the pieces were very hard I couldn't chew it. I prefer limes in stead of lemons. The restaurant is very clean and the staff was so nice I will give them another try! We will see.....

    Fresh salsa bar

    I came here on a Wednesday morning to pick up a Carne Asada burrito, chips and guacamole to go. The two men working here, one is the cashier and the other is the cook, are both extremely friendly, hard-working, and you can tell that they love their jobs. I came in at the right time when the cook pulled off the fresh grilled Carne Asada. They have a wonderful and fresh salsa bar with pico de gallo, different levels of salsas, pickled vegetables, fresh onions, and cilantro. The guacamole is addicting! The level of spices and salt makes you want to go back for more so luckily you get a lot of chips to enjoy the guacamole. The burrito is packed with so many ingredients; rice beans, Carne Asada, cheese, and pico de gallo. I'm really enjoying the chips and guacamole and burrito. I definitely recommended. We return to try other things please support your local businesses. That's what makes America so great!

    Carne Asada Combo Plate
    Randy B.

    Always looking for a good Mexican food place, there are many around of course, but not all good. Fast Taco is one of the good ones out there, this was the first time we checked it out. I must say the positive reviews hold up. The staff was very friendly, I believe the owner was the one who helped me, very nice Guy, seems genuinely happy when working with his customers. Gave me plenty of containers for salsa, cilantro, Onions, etc. all the plates were clearly marked and he made it a point to recap everything, give me a big container of Salsa and a big bag of chips with my order. Thank you. We got a Pollo Burrito combo, an Asada Burrito Combo, a Two Taco combo with Carne Asada and a Carne Asada Plate Combo. All the combos come with Rice, beans, salad and sour cream. (The Carne Asada plate also come with guacamole . The Burritos also have guacamole added to them. The meats were flavored perfectly and the rice and beans were tasty, we were very full with food to spare and happy. Everything tasted excellent! I loaded up on the green salsa, nice and spicy. They also have a nice red salsa that had some spice and sweetness to it and another red salsa that has a great Smokey flavor. I loved them all. Also packed away some cilantro and radishes, everything was great. One tip I forgot to add, this is a "Cash Only" spot, so many people don't carry cash these days, so make sure you grab some before going. Enjoy!

    Asked for no pick, basically only pico in the entire burrito. Inedible.

    No they take credit card and cash must try place is delicious highly recommended

    When will this place open again? Dying for their quesadillas & burritos

    THIS MONDAY !!!! 1.27.2020

    So just wanted to update ya'll.. they arent open and will be opening maybe sometime mid February 2019 😭😭. Anyone tried the Santa Monica location?

    Just drove by this past Saturday 12/28/19 and looks like they advanced heavily and will open soon. I have no ETA on when but should be early 2020.

    Ok, I'm dying for their nachos. Once I was in there and heard the boss talking about some place in Simi. Anyone know if the owners have another location to tide me over until they (please Lord) reopen?

    There's another Fast Taco in Santa Monica on Ocean Park run by another branch of the family. Food is very close in flavor and quality.

    Anyone know if they relocated or just closed? :(

    I placed a call to the number on their menu and here on Yelp and spoke with one of the owners. He told they would be reopening in 5 months, so hopefully in November.

    Whats the Sq ft?

    I'll take a tape measure with me next time I feel like getting a burrito

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us.

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
