They know me by name now cause I'm a token gringo that comes in there. Super nice great service great weekly specials and its Maria I believe that usually waits on us. We even went there for cinco de Mayo and got potato tacos street tacos a Tostada. Show up a little bit before lunch to miss rush hour we're a little bit aftermiss rodon' show up like a sheep when everybody else shows up and it's quick and fast service. read more

This has become our go-to lunch spot. Since we are across the street at Topgolf, it's the perfect place to grab lunch, and I'm surprised I haven't reviewed it sooner after coming here for the past couple of years. If you're craving fish tacos or ceviche, this is a solid choice. I usually order the combination plate with one battered fish taco and one asada taco, plus the chicken taquitos on the side. The taquitos are a great portion, and I love the crema and toppings that come with them. My only complaint is the salsa packets. I've accidentally spilled them on my clothes more than once because of the packaging, but the salsa itself is delicious. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff has consistently been friendly. They also have specials with their mini selections like potato tacos and mini tostadas, and the horchata is really good. Overall, this is a reliable lunch spot with consistently good food, and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

La Bufadora Baja Grill - Combo 2 - Fish Taco & Asada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

This place is nasty, and the health department seriously needs to inspect the kitchen. From the outside and the dining area, everything looked clean enough -- but that clearly didn't reflect what was happening behind the counter. The real issue is the back kitchen, where the food is actually being prepared. After what happened to me, I can't help but question whether the ingredients were stored properly, whether the cooking surfaces were clean, or if the equipment was even sanitized. I ordered a carne asada torta with fries and a drink. The taste seemed fine at first, but shortly after finishing, I started feeling nauseated, my head was pounding, I had a strange aftertaste, and my stomach felt bloated and unstable. It's now day 5, and I'm still dealing with the same symptoms -- this feels exactly like food poisoning, and it hasn't gone away. What makes this worse is that the restaurant was completely empty when I walked in. I should've trusted my instincts. A spotless dining area means nothing if the kitchen equipment, prep stations, and food handling practices are questionable. Something was clearly wrong with the food I was served. read more

This establishment is in a strip mall The food is good but a little overpriced. 4.50 for a fish taco. The service is good. They do have daily specials. Tuesdays you can get street tacos for $2. They also serve beer. It's rarely full. I would come back and try their asada fries read more

Oh this place is SOLID for a quick and cheap lunch!! $3 fish tacos on wednesdays, $3 shrimp tacos on Sundays, and $1.50 street tacos. Fish taco-- battered, crispy outside but soft inside, the fish is tender and not dry Shrimp taco-- HUGE shrimp (like I couldn't tell which one was shrimp vs fish because both were huge... thought they gave me 2 fish tacos at first), battered, crispy outside and soft inside, juicy pieces Both were super good so I'd just get whatever was on sale that day (if I went on Wednesday or Sunday) And then POTATO TACOS!! 2 for $6.50. These are so good. It's like mashed potatoes so savory so smooth paired with the perfect crunch and just the cheese and cream on top is soooooo good!! All the tacos are topped with cabbage, onion, and tomatoes. The toppings were kinda sad like they've been sitting out for a while but... that's super minor and the tacos themselves were all amazing. I do wish we could pick our salsas but whatever 2 I got (in the sealed baggies) were great. Not spicy, just spiced and flavorful. Parking is so easy the lot is HUGEEEE and practically all empty. Will definitely be back!! read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately it was a letdown. I ordered four fish tacos and one shrimp taco, and none of them met expectations. The biggest issue was the balance, the tacos were extremely heavy on the batter and had very little actual fish or shrimp inside. Instead of tasting fresh seafood, it mostly felt like I was eating fried batter. For the price and what you expect from fish and shrimp tacos, this was pretty disappointing. I ended up still feeling unsatisfied and had to look for another dinner option afterward. Hoping this was just an off day, but based on this experience, I'd be hesitant to come back. read more

Their shrimp tacos are so delicious! Their Asada nachos are good, too. I always order from here whenever I'm near by.

Great pal tacos and great specials. Convenient parking and friendly staff. If you love tacos, stop by. read more

Came for lunch this afternoon, the place only had two sets of customers. Probably because it's so hidden in the corner near The Dollar Tree. We ordered some asada fries, chili relleno burrito and a couple of birria tacos with a draft Pacific. The entire meal came out to be about $46. I have to say I wasn't disappointed, the service was fast, the portions were appropriate, the flavor was surprisingly above average. I will definitely come back and try other items on the menu. read more

The fish and shrimp tacos are just so delicious! Our go to for some simple baja style tacos, clean restaurant and friendly staff.

All this food and they gave us two sauces ? I even asked if there are enough sauces for all the plates we bought...ridiculous they thought they could tie up the bag and ONLY put two sauces. I don't usually come here but when I have I enjoy it. The co workers seem to like it. They have raised their prices which is why I stopped coming in as much. The potato tacos were cheaper before. The sauce situation today is just another reason for me to come even less. Probably won't come again unless work is buying us food. It was the bosses bday and he wanted this. Didn't have time to go back and ask for sauces. Driving here and going back to work is 1o minutes. They should use a little more common sense if people are buying a bunch of food don't just drop two sauce packets read more

I've been coming here for a while now for my tacos fix. Aside from King Taco, La Bufadora, in my opinion, supercede King Taco. However, this location is better than the other ones. La Bufadora makes delicious fish tacos. You could order either the grilled or fried fish tacos. And guess which one, supposedly health conscious me orders?! Yup, the "bad fried" ones. Lol. It's just a hint to let others know which one is better tasting. Anyhow, they also serve potato with hard shell tacos, which the potato inside are actually mashed, and they're tasty. Other items I've tried are asada tacos, shrimp tacos, asada quesidillas, asada nachos, and their shrimp ceviche, too. All of these items are good as well. Everything is served with a large hot roasted chili pepper and salsa. But basically, I go there for their fried fish tacos and potato tacos. Their quesidillas are good, too. Four sliced (two flour tortillas) cut into quarters. Filled with meat and cheese. Yummy! Parking is always in abundance as it's located inside a plaza behind the Ford Motors dealership. Happy Tacos! read more

It's my go-to for the shrimp ceviche. Perfect date night for under $30. For a little extra, we add on avocado. They also have the premier light calorie beer. read more

Yup! I'm too Mexican to eat Mexican food lol my mom makes the best, so that's why I don't eat Mexican food, other than my moms. I took a risk one day and tried this place. The location in riverside. Since then, I've been a fan. I leave the same 5 star review. Their burritos are skimpy and expensive. So I stick to the nachos and tacos. Well seasoned meats, soft texture and great service. Except irwindale location. I won't go back to that one. Their prices are fair. Restaurants are always clean. Nothing else to add. Just keep up the good work. On this visit I got asada and Al pastor tacos. 5 stars for sure. read more

Friendly staff and great service. The battered fish tacos are amazing and so are the potato tacos. These are the best potato tacos because all the stuff they put on top makes them so flavorful, they put creama, tomato's, cabbage and cojeta cheese on top. My only not would be to put more lemon pepper season on their yellow peppers, other than that my meal was amazing. read more

Honestly, I've heard so much good things but I did not enjoy the food complete opposite. I ordered delivery and had a question regarding salsas, the lady who answered was so sweet. The food came, packaged great. But when we began to eat it wasn't it. The chicken taquitos plate 3.5/5 a bit too salty all of it. Papa tacos 4. 5/5 good tacos maintained crunchy but the salt. Now the actual carne was not popping. Got Baja nacho of "asada" too chewy rubbery made my stomach uneasy right away. There was a deal on uber eats for bogo burrito and no one ate it the I got half to my burrrito and couldn't the meat was unbearable. As for the nachos without the meat it was good I had to really pick it out because seriously the meat was so bad... read more

We were in the area for my daughter's softball games and were in the mood for tacos. My father in law ordered the shrimp and fish tacos. He said they were delish. I had asada street tacos which were good. the meat was decent. Not fatty. My daughters had chicken tacos and a cheese quesadilla, which were good The peppers that came with the meal were delish! The smoky sauce was okay. I'd prefer a hotter red sauce. I'll definitely come back! And the Restrooms were very clean read more

If you haven't tried this place already, it's a must. The food is so clean, service is great, and it's a chill spot to have some crispy potato tacos, carne asada nachos with avocado on top, also the grilled green peppers are delicious. Enjoy! read more

I always order their Carne Asada Baja Nachos. I was happy to see that it is now on their $5 Value Menu. It looks somewhat small when you place a take out order of the Nachos. Once you transfer it onto a plate when you get home, you'll see that it's a generous serving for $5. Our favorites are the Carne Asada Baja Nachos, Fish Tacos, Shrimp Tacos, and Fish Ceviche. We like the pineapple Agua Fresca. read more

The fried fish tacos were fire. Texture and flavor came out right!! It was my first time but it woll not be my last!

SOME ITEMS HERE ARE GOOD, OTHERS AREN'T. As much as I wanted to like the meat, it was very underwhelming. I ordered pastor and asada tacos that came dry and bland. The tortillas have a funny taste, not the best dough for it. However, the potato tacos and the Birria quesadillas were fantastic. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and provided good service. read more

The food is delicious! Let's start with the potato tacos with creama, cotija and coleslaw. They are the best ever! The shrimp tacos delicious, carnitas but the Birria tacos OMG! The flavor and the consomé hands down delicious. They have this new seafood soup that's super yummy every thing is good. The service is super friendly Jonathan is awesome super friendly and makes some good food! The inside is always clean and the music makes you want to dance and sing It's never a disappointment always friendly atmosphere read more

Two recent visits have really impressed me I came to pick up an order for a family member and I ordered myself the chile relleno burrito, and on another visit the fish tacos. Delicious ! Previsouly when I came, it was around the time they first opened up I was not overly impressed but now it's going to be a regular spot to eat for me read more

The fish taco was so good. And the potato taco was amazing. The service was great very nice workers.

If you're craving a taco, torta, burrito, ceviche, or nachos, La Bufadora will not disappoint. Our family wanted to try somewhere other than the usual Chipotle for a quick burrito, so we followed all of the Yelp reviews and recommendations to the best option. We ordered a chicken burrito, asada, burrito, chicken torta, and the small asada nachos that were only $5! Everything was delicious! They give you a few salsas, small guacamole, a few roasted yellow jalapeños and a guacachile to give your food an extra dash of flavor. The prices here are very reasonable and the food quality is great! We will totally be returning to try everything on the menu. read more

This was my first and only time there... I ordered la torre which is a cevichi with shrimp, octopus and something else. I added avocado and it was DELICIOUS!! So good I forgot to take pictures. It came with two tostadas, few limes, and a couple of tapatio packets. I had to ask for a few more limes and another tostada. (There was no extra charge). The cashier was friendly and the cook, who handed me my order and the extras was even friendlier!!! I ordered a aqua de pina and everything was perfect!!! STRONGLY RECOMMEND AND WILL RETURN read more

I have to say I am very, very disappointed in this place. I work nearby and I have supported this place since the day they opened. not only me, but I have directed many, many people to try this place. However, I walked in there and had to use the restroom. I was gonna order food for myself and my daughter, but had to use the restroom first. The lady at the counter would not allow me to use the restroom until I ordered because it's for "customers only" pretty damn pathetic. so I told her I'm gonna order food can I please use the restroom first and she said no it's for customers only you have to order. so I literally had to order a taco For her to hand me the key to the restroom. I'll never return. AND ON TOP OF THAT, THE FOOD IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST. read more
