Best tacos in the area, hands down!…read more The meat was so flavorful and tender, especially the chicken, which I feel like is usually underseasoned at other taco spots. The burritos are also huge and have a generous portion of meat. Absolutely loved their horchata too. It actually tasted homemade and not like it was made from powder. Definitely coming back! 10/10 would recommend. Ordering was super easy on the kiosk, and there's plenty of seating. I also love any taco spot with a salsa bar. Food: 10/10 Service: 9/10

Do you have a restaurant woven into your family's history to the point that it feels more like a…read morememory you can step back into rather than just a place to eat? For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful. I'll be coming here until the wheels fall off. EL RANCHITO ALL STARS!!! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I'm a long time fan of Apache's Carnes al Carbon. I used to go to their location in Boyle Heights…read moreuntil they closed. I was sad when they closed. I was working in South Gate a few years ago and discovered this location in Huntington Park. I started coming here for their most delicious sopes, tacos and burritos. The restaurant's ambience is simple. There are two counters and a table. People come here for the authentic and delicious food. I'll sacrifice ambience for amazing food any day! The meat they serve is pork and they grill it over lump coal so the edges are crispy and charred but the meat itself is juicy and porky. The beans are fried up perfectly, just like homemade. The salsa is simple but very tasty. Today's was fire and addictive. I had a taco de chorizo ... yum. I also got a jamaica to help cool things down. I got a couple of burritos to go. I'm really looking forward to chowing down on those later. I know they'll be delicious as always. The sope shells are handmade and fried up fresh to order. They're thin and crispy but hold up well to the fresh toppings. The first one was so good that I ended up ordering a second one. Asusana was working the counter today. She was very kind and accommodating. ¡Gracias Asusana!! I know I'll be returning for my fill of authentic sopes, tacos and burritos. Thank you Apache's Carnes al Carbon for offering some of the best food in SoCal. You are one of a kind!

This was the place I was searching for tonight when I got a chance to hang out with the South Gate…read morepolice. The place they suggested was fine but not spectacular so the great Al Pastor search continued. Now these guys know how to run the show. Fifteen or twenty people standing around eating. A line 5 deep. A half dozen employees grilling and chopping and trimming. And the smell coming off this place ..... It was like meat perfume. It was a good thing that the service was quick 'cause it would have driven you mad to stand around smelling that awesome scent and not be able to dig into a plate full o' food. The Al Pastor was crispy, juicy, slightly sweet, piggy perfection. But what's the story with the beer? The not entirely legal taco stand wasn't enough for you? You thought you'd throw in a blanket full of bootleg DVD's and while you're at it why not pass around a few beers! You know what, I frankly don't care. When the ATF comes around to bust you just offer 'em a couple tacos. They'll be so busy groaning and sighing that they'll forget why they came.

Why We Keep Coming Back We've tried a lot of taco stands,…read morebut we keep coming back to this one because of the tortillas. Their yellow corn tortillas are incredibly flavorful and make the quesadillas stand out from the competition. The Food We usually order the adobo quesadillas with cheese, cilantro, onions, salsa, and avocado. They don't have the largest selection of meats, but the adobo is excellent. The quesadillas are a good size and always taste fresh. Fresh Tortillas Made to Order The process is simple. You place your order, then move down the line where fresh tortillas are prepared with cheese, followed by your choice of meat and toppings. It's fun watching everything come together right in front of you. Ordering and Payment The ordering system is straightforward and efficient. After your food is assembled, you pay at the register. They accept cash and Zelle, which makes payment easy. Extras and Toppings They offer a selection of salsas along with grilled onions and grilled jalapeños that you can grab with your order. These little extras add a lot of flavor. Parking and Convenience Parking has never been an issue for us. We usually find meter parking right in front, and many customers seem to grab their food and go. It's a quick and convenient stop. Ambiance This is more of a grab and go spot than a place to sit and hang out. The atmosphere is casual and busy, with people lining up for fresh food and taking their orders to go. What it lacks in seating or extras, it makes up for with the smell of fresh tortillas cooking and the lively taco stand experience. Customer Service Customer service is simple and efficient. The staff keeps the line moving and gets orders out quickly.

OMG, one of my dear friends and I were on Pacific trying on dresses for an upcoming wedding and was deciding on if we wanted to go have cocktails or coffee afterwards. We finally decide on Coffee and walk in to Casa de Cafe! Instantly we're were greeted with a huge smile and a nice young Man saying "Welcome in, Ladies!" The dining/seating area was decorated nicely, smelled good, had Nice Latin Music playing softly ( love that it wasn't too loud ) and was ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS!!! We decided on trying their Turkey Croissant and a Latte (hot). Everything is super fresh, made to order and honestly we could have split the meal Bkz they give you a lot, so come hungry!! The croissant was so light and buttery, and I like how it comes on fresh dark greens (lettuce) and I added avocado to mine bkz y'all know I detest Mayo it was served with a little cup of Heaven.. I mean soup and the Latte was pure perfection! We all need to support more local owners/Chefs and I am proud to say that they just gained a new fan and customer for life!!! It's a great place to meet up on a Sunday morning w/your Mama or Auntie and have a nice bite to eat and Coffee/Lattes too! Or just meet up w/your Comadre like I did and catch up! They serve these big beautiful Crepes too, and they looked AAAHHHHHMAZING, so I'm definitely gonna get one the next time I'm in town. They're served with fresh bananas & strawberries and they offer an adorable little Pink Marshmallow hanging above it ( ask Em to toast it for you! ) Sorry this was so long, but I told them I would be definitely Yelping about em and being honest

The main 3 meats you have to try here are AL PASTOR, CHICKEN & ASADA!…read more Al Pastor: If you don't want to try anything else, this is the one that's a MUST! For a crispy bark taste. Tell them to grill it more A.K.A. DORADITA and of course have that pineapple added on there! Chicken: My second choice here. Good and with the right sauce taste even better. Green or Habanero Asada: Although its not really considered "Asada" since there is no grill. Its still good, but there has been some times that it was EH. As far as the aguas frescas...

The best thing are the barbacoa tacos those are the best on the menu and reasonably priced. Also, we ordered some tacos dorados now these tacos look like flautas these had no flavor and highly priced $17 for four small tacos with little chicken inside and nothing special about them. I suppose I'd come back just for the barbacoa tacos maybe just maybe I think it's too pricey for such small portions.
