Popped in around 5pm this past Sunday because I was in the area and their sign caught my eye. I was craving tacos and wanted a warm place to sit and not have to stand while eating from a sidewalk vendor. Turned around and parked down the street on Burbank Blvd. It was quaint upon entry, but I was the only customer. Went simple and order 5 carne asada tacos. Got my order pretty quickly. Each taco is on 2 tortillas. I would eat with one and let meat fall onto the second. Nice that I didn't have to scoop it all up with my fingers to clean my plate. The carne asada had a nice smoky flavor reminiscent of the flavor of a Tacos El Gordo taco. Taco craving satisfied. read more

One of those spots that's hidden in plain sight, that I really only discovered when I was stopped at the stoplight, and since I have a friend named Chuy, I snapped a picture and sent it to him saying we had to try it. Apparently, the history of the place is one of perseverance, selling quality and tasty food from a street cart, and the viral word of mouth, and late night hungers that helped them flourish into starting a small brick-and-mortar storefront. It has a cute little ambience, wonderful staff, and excellent food at remarkably fair prices. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered 2 asada tacos with cheese and 2 pastor tacos with cheese. Asada meat had a bunch of chewy pieces of meat but the marination was good. Red salsa is spicy Pastor tacos were much better and deliciously marinated. read more

I forgot to take a picture of the quesadillas doradas but they were delicious! Chicken for me and carne guisado. Super cheesy and fried to absolute perfection.

We have been going to her since she was just a little stand outside cobra! a friend of ours lived around the block and told us we had to come try this amazing stand. We have been hooked ever since. We're from Santa Clarita and we would make the drive out to the valley or stop by after dodger games to get quesadillas. We absolutely love the food, it never disappoints and every one of them was always the sweetest when it came to service. Haven't been in a while but i definitely need to get my mama chuy fix soon! read more

Amazing food! And incredibly kind staff. My friends and I got stuck waiting outside for a gig and the kind staff of Mama Chuy invited us inside their restaurant to wait and stay warm. They didn't expect anything from us, just gave us a safe place to stay warm. We ended up ordering the nachos, Carne asade tacos, and churros. Everything was delicious! We definitely found our new favorite Taco spot in LA! read more

AMAZING!!! The food is excellent, the vibe and the service to match. Can't ask for anything better!! read more

I tried their fried empanada with Picadillo which was stuffed ground beef. The empanada itself was tasty just the salsa on the side grossed me out. They brought me a green tomatio salsa already in the to go container even though I dined in. The salsa was that of a gel and even when turned upside wouldn't come out. I had to stir it up and it was either not fresh or something else just that jelly type salsa ruined the meal for me, loss of appetite. read more

My dad knows that I love food and is always on the lookout for a new place for us to try. One day he was telling me about this restaurant he saw while driving in Burbank. He said the name was four letters with a y in it. We drove all around Burbank looking for this place and couldn't find it. Heading back home on Burbank Blvd he gets excited and points to the restaurant, LA Mama Chuy so we stop. Restaurant is small with about 4 booths but real clean and neat. The guy working seemed like he did everything. He suggested the deep fried quesadilla. We ordered 2 tacos 1 chicken tinga and 1 asada, and 2 deep fried quesadillas 1 asada and 1 chicken tinga. Tacos came out first. My asada taco was filled to the brim but was not very good. The meat was tough and not very flavorful. The tortillas were store bought and not warmed up enough on the grill. It ate very oily with not much flavor. Tried drowning the taco in the salsa but that to was bland. Dad said his taco was OK. I did try some of the chicken which was more flavorful than the asada. Not a good start. The deep fried quesadillas came out and they looked crunchy. I again had the Asada and my dad had the chicken. Took my first bite and it was very crunchy, kind of like an empanada but crunchier. Unfortunately, it was lacking flavor or even that umami bomb mixture of cheese and beef. Very very bland. Dunked it in the avocado salsa but that was not much help. Dad was telling me how good his chicken one was so I took a bite. Much better than mine, the chicken really stood out here. Best bite of the meal. Overall I wanted to like the place. I may come back to try some of the other Meats with the deep fried quesadilla but steer clear of the asada. Pretty disappointed but may have just ordered the wrong thing. read more

Average food, nothing really stood out for us. Food was a bit on the bland side. Maybe it was an off day.

Been looking for some tasty tacos and I found it here and more! There is a lot of choices in NoHo for street/side walk or food trucks tacos - I been looking for that flavorful food in a brick and mortar. The place is clean and the service was exceptional. The server was attentive and service was quick. I ordered the chicken burrito, asada mulitas and al pastor taco. The chicken was juicy and the asada and al pastor was so fresh and flavorful. read more

The food was cooked up quickly and served with warmth and kindness. The place itself is decorated brightly making it inviting.

This place is such a gem here in the valley. I remember when they used to sell on the sidewalk. Upgraded to a brick and mortar place is such a flex. Their quesadillas got us through many nights throughout the years. Coming back after all this time was such a flashback to flavors. Nothing but greatness here from the food to the service. read more

Service was terrible, the guy running the stand in the front took our order then his friends showed up and cut the rest our friends in line. They went on to order their food and he went on to ignore our orders and fed all his friends before even he even started our food. We ended up waiting 25-30 mins before we even got a glance from this guy. And he acted like everything was normal. I will never return here. They even got our order wrong and over charged us. read more

First time here tonight and will for sure come back. the cook and the cashier were supper friendly even gave me the back story . I got the burrito , tacos and everything was amazing Thank you ! read more

I had an amazing time at La Mama Chuy. The Al Pastor tacos were delicious! Excellent blended with flavor, juicy, and enough cooked. The green & red sauces added a superb taste to the tacos. Along with that chef's highly recommended chicken quesadillas were wonderful. Plus, nice garnishing on the top. More than anything the head chef, Alex was personally talking to the customers and explaining to them about different dishes and customizing their needs. He told me his family story about serving Mexican food for the last twenty years. Now they opened their own restaurant "Mama Chuy". I would highly recommend this place! read more

Legit best burrito I've had in the L.A. area. The size of a swaddle with that gooey, perfect asada. I will be back.

So glad we stopped by on a rainy day! Still sitting in the restaurant as I type this out but truly a gem. I've been craving some really good Al pastor tacos and this place did not disappoint. The flavors are all very good, deep and rich. Wish the salsas were a little spicier but that didn't ruin the tacos at all. The fried plantains were so damn good, definitely a new favorite spot. read more

Great food, good service -- always happy to support local. Eat here. Fried quesadillas and huaraches are excellent. Will make pretty much anything; don't be fooled by the spare-looking menu. Cozy, colorful, clean, comfortable interior. read more

Their quesadillas are made with love. I tells ya!!! Don't miss out. Staff is extremely friendly and patient. We order the chicharon quesadilla which is pork rind and they were so tasty we came back for more! It does run a little spicy due to the fact that the chicharon is drenched (in a good way) in sauce. Their tortillas are handmade and have a bit of an empanada vibe but thinner. SOOOOO BOMB! My favorite part was that they had habanero pickled onions that were so good and such a great add-on to the quesadilla. We also had their fried bananas with nutella and strawberry marmalade. It was lightly fried bananas smothered in Nutella and strawberry jelly. They are better tasting than they look. Trust me! Highly recommend this place *chefs kiss* read more

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Been coming here since before the expansion, when youd have to take the risk to see if they were there that night or not. Let me tell you, it was worth the risk every time. They have the BEST fried quesadillas anywhere in LA! And all the boys working are always happy and friendly. If you havent been yet, GO NOW!!!! read more
