    Ok so I wanted something to eat but didn't want to drive and this was super close. I got two carnitas tacos. They were huge. I ended up just eating the insides and leaving the actual tacos behind. The pork tasted good but it was incredibly greasy. I like the guac and pico. To be honest, the best part of the meal was the horchata iced coffee. It was great! The staff was friendly and it felt great to sit outside. I will come back again if I just need a quick bite and want to stay close again. I might stop randomly for this horchata iced coffee. Was a nice treat that was. I didn't notice a garbage Can which was strange. I had to take my trash down the street.

    HOLY MOLY!!! This is the most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. So amazing!! My husband got carne asada fries and I got the number 1 combo (bean tostada and beef taco) and I've never had anything better. I over ate for sure trying to eat every last bite of this !! The service was prompt and good & with the little patio outside it was the perfect ambiance for a quaint rainy day. Will definitely come back

    This spot used to be a number of restaurants with similar sounding names (albert's, alberto's, alfredo's, etc.), so it's refreshing to have something finally breaking that mold. I've gotten carne asada fries from each and every one of them and I have to say that Franco's is the best. They give a good, hefty portion of meat, gauc, and cheese that will make me a weekly regular now. The liquor store next door is icing on the cake. +1 lagunitas for the meal.

    One morning after waking up to feed my son I was craving breakfast burritos. I went on yelp and I found this place that was open around the same time( they open at 7am btw) I drove in and they are a small area and the lady was so nice. I got 2 super burritos which had all the items like potatos, sausage, egg, and bacon. They were medium size. They filled me up pretty well. I felt like something was missing and I found out it didn't have Cheese or maybe not enough of it. It was a good spot for burritos it might be the best one around the South El Monte Area. Def come back

    Not sure why this place isn't more popular. Breakfast burritos are Amazing. Tortilla is exactly what it should be, soft, tasty, and not to thick. Good amount of meat in breakfast burritos. Salsa is flavorful with a little heat. Would definitely recommend the breakfast burritos.

    We asked for no crema on the fries and no onions on the burrito

    We always do taco lunch runs here and they've never failed any time. We order ahead of time and…read moreit's always ready for pick up by the time that we get there. Efficient and courteous service, no extra bells and whistles. Food is hot and ready to eat by the time it's brought back into the office as well. Inside is spacious and clean and the lucha wrestling theme is fun and eye catching. Plenty of seats and they have plants there too, which is a nice burst of greenery. There's some tables and seating outside too. Horchata is nice and sweet, not watered down in the slightest. I've gotten the el maximo quesadilla, potato tacos, several different street tacos, and taquitos here. Deliciously seasoned meat that isn't super oily. Moist and hits the spot. They don't skimp on the proteins and the other toppings either. Solid Spanish rice and beans too. Can't go wrong with Teddy's!

    Restaurants that keep things simple and focus on doing the basics right really stand out. We had…read morethe Chicken Tostada salad, the jalapeño asada, and those mahi mahi tacos. Honestly, the tacos were some of the best I've had in a long time -- nothing else around here even comes close. The whole place just feels truly authentic. Service was speedy and friendly, they had lovely Spanish music playing in the background, and the restrooms were spotless. I'm already planning to come back again soon. If you're in the area and looking for great food in a welcoming spot, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be disappointed!

    This place is under new management. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their…read morezucchini fries, pastrami quesadilla, express burger, and tuna melt to try. This was my first time having zucchini fries and they gave me so much! These ones were homemade, heavily battered, stayed super crispity crunchity, but also were kinda bland? Paired well with the ranch given tho. Never heard of a pastrami quesadilla but this one was MASSIVE, nicely grilled and was filled with some nutty lettuce that kinda got soggy but that's ok cuz I lowkey like soggy lettuce, tender savory pastrami, and some gooey cheese. The burger was hefty and was stacked with perfectly ripe avocado, actually still crisp bacon, savory cheese, a nice charbroiled meaty patty, juicy tomato, fresh crunchy lettuce and sliced onions, with some slightly sweet tangy thousand island and pickles all on a sesame seed bun. Hit the spotttt. This was also my first time getting a tuna melt and it was rich creamy a bit tart not offensively fishy and comforting with gooey cheese and crunchy celery bits all on perfectly buttery toasted bread. Pure deliciousity. And from now to June 15th if you follow them on insta and show them this post you can get 10% off! So definitely go check em out cuz this place is pretty good.

    What a great place to have a HUGE, DELICIOUS, and well-prepared meal…read more My family and I had business in the area, and we were craving breakfast. We are so glad we decided to visit this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant itself is located in a very busy industrial area. It is a large and clean restaurant with many tables and booths. The menu, which is clearly posted behind the counter, is extensive and offers many options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also signs posted throughout the restaurant featuring specials and specialty items. The entire staff, including the owner, who happened to be working the register during our visit, was extremely friendly, welcoming, hardworking, and appeared to appreciate each customer who visited the restaurant. My family and I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito, eggs, turkey bacon, and hash browns combo, and I had a veggie omelet with hash browns. The portion sizes were HUGE, and the food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was truly cooked to perfection. It really was good. At one point, I leaned over the counter to thank the chef for preparing such a delicious breakfast. He appeared surprised yet thankful for the compliment. I also wish to thank the owner for providing top-notch service, as he personally delivered our order to our table, including utensils, and checked on us a couple of times, as did a very nice and friendly female employee who was seen working nonstop. We will DEFINITELY be back for breakfast soon.

Best fried fish tacos in Cali, and likely the entire country if you ask me. Prices have gone up or maybe its location based, not completely sure. The no longer have the wednesday special they used to, so thats unfortunate, but still worth it, just maybe less often lol. I used to go to the Belflower location for years when they were just a small stand. Happy to see they've have multiple locations now and thriving. This location had some covered outdoor seating with a few fans, on a hot day its not the best, but manageable. Definitely recommend eating on site, so you can get all the extra salsas added to your liking. Sevice was quick and friendly. Highy recommend this place for anyone in the area

    Ignore the hype. We stopped by after a doctor's appointment…read morebecause we've heard great things. The service was nothing special. We sat down and waited for our order, keep in mind there is no inside seating at this location. There were flies everywhere which made it hard to keep still and enjoy our time. Our food finally came out and the young lady who brought it couldn't even tell us which tacos were shrimp or fish.. On to the food - Fish tacos: 2/5 The fish was extremely bland. We felt like the veggie toppings were the only thing giving the taco flavor. Would not recommend. Shrimp taco: 2/5 3 total shrimp, veggie overload. Nothing to write home about. Similar issue as the fish but at least there was a tiny amount of flavor present in this. Not too fishy which was a positive note. Asada + Shrimp Burrito: 2/5 The meat was extremely salty, I couldn't even taste the shrimp or the beans inside. Barely any shrimp too. The salsa and lime somewhat covered up the bland flavors. Do not get this. Rice (L) : 4/5 The one thing that was good alone. It wasn't too dry and was pretty good when not paired with anything else. Beans (S): 4/5 Refried beans, nothing amazing. The cheese on top was a nice touch. Both the rice and beans were the stars of this visit. Overall, would not return to this location. It's hard to enjoy your time out when flies are buzzing around everywhere and your staff doesn't seem knowledgeable about their items. Even with the sides being good, it isn't enough to make me want to return. Skip this.

Location/Parking: Located in a plaza that shares a parking lot with Egg Tuck and El Tepeyac. Ambiance/Decor: Similar to other Carl Jr's, but quieter because it is located near a business park. Service: Service is good. Staffers are friendly and the food doesn't take long Burger/Meal Of Choice: The food is fairly consistent with other locations. I usually get meals or burgers that are promoted. I wouldn't want to buy them at full price. *The current burger that I've been ordering is the new cali xl, which currently costs $5.99. The value-focused sandwich features not one but TWO charbroiled beef patties, double American cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and classic sauce on a seeded bun, designed to offer a big burger experience for a low price. For $2 more, you get the meal that comes with fries and a drink. Carl's Jr For Thought: I'll probably patronize the shop again.
