    I came in here to buy gift cards for family members that enjoy coming here to eat. I also came in to dine. There dishes are huge and delicious. I had the flautas plate with beans ans rice. That was packed with flavor and plenty chicken in the flautas. Service is immediate the server comes by to take our drink order and leaves menus. When our drinks were running low they'd be refilled within minutes. The atmosphere here can be loud depending on the time you dine in. Everyone is conversating with their company. Parking can be tight depending on the time you dine. Same time I've always found a spot to park.

    46 years ago, when I arrived to this beautiful nation to stay, one morning whit a terrible hang over my friend took me to Los Tres Cochinitos that was a very small whole on the wall in the same place that is now located. There it had a tasty Mexican menudo that changed my view of the dish... since then I been visiting them now and then. Yesterday I came back and nostalgia grab my heart. Excellent taste and portions, I had the wet burrito and my wife the special enchiladas, the service was great by our young server in a full restaurant at 11PM with a festive ambiance. What ever you order has a true Mexican flavor. Try it I've done it for almost 50 years...

    Cheers!

    Always great food and made the way I ask for it. Service was great. Ordered the enchilada plate with green sauce, onions, cheese AND chicken. Also had nachos, the steak and egg breakfast plate and chiliqueles plate. Got a michielada, two mimosas and a water. Place is clean. Food is worth the price. Restrooms are clean. Parking is scarce. Lots of seating.

    My family and I decided to stop by here for breakfast before heading to the LA port to sail out on a cruise and it hit the spot! Staff were polite and took care of us and the restaurant itself very cute and spacious. Food didn't take long at all and was pretty tasty and the drinks were solid. We enjoyed our breakfast experience and would definitely recommend it!

    going to Los Tres is like going home. the food is always excellent, the service is always great. depending on when you go the ambiance can be chaotic (in a good way). been a regular here for about 8 years and i can't speak highly enough about them. everything from steak picado to tacos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, fajitas...it's all great. the cadillac margarita is a fav. you can never go wrong here.

    Chile relleno was soggy and small. Prices are high for the main dishes. $20 plus. My Tia makes big batches.

    The food lacked seasoning. Servings were very large but I would have traded smaller serving for more flavorful food.

We asked if they had any plant-based or vegan options. They only sold burgers however the lady that helped us was very sweet, polite, and kind. She told what they had and what we could order inside instead. We walked in and the gentleman named Oscar G. cashed us out. He was also very friendly! Very professional and knowledgeable about the menu and non-dairy items. Provided us with what we needed right away, the container for the salsa and brought out fresh ones for me. Very nice guy. The food came out right away. The portions were big in my opinion. The prices were decent, the portion was great, and best of all the service was good. Their self-serve condiments was a PLUS! I've been to a lot of taco spots and these were by far the freshest and crispiest cucumbers, fresh cold salsa, onions and cilantro was also fresh. The food was good and filled us up. It was simple but fulfilling. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats as well.

I ordered the asada, carnitas, al pastor, tripas, cabeza, and lengua. The asada was tender with a nice grilled flavor, but my favorites were definitely the tripas and cabeza. Both were a little greasy, but in a good way--they had a lot of flavor and were probably the standouts of the meal for me. One thing I liked was the condiment bar. You can load up your tacos with as much onion and cilantro as you want, plus they have radishes and lime wedges available. They also offer two salsas, a red and a green. Both tasted good and had solid flavor, although I was hoping for a little more heat. Overall, it's a solid taco spot, especially on Taco Tuesday. Good variety of meats, reasonable prices, and plenty of toppings to customize your tacos. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area and craving some tacos.

    This review is about Tacos El Goloso, located at 1605 Pacific Coast Hwy, Harbor City, CA…read more My daughter is an EMT. While on duty, she stopped at this location and placed an order. Before her food was ready, she received an emergency call and had to leave immediately. That's the reality of being a first responder--when a call comes in, you leave immediately, no time to wait for your meal. Before leaving, she politely asked the cashier to cancel the order and refund her card. Instead of showing understanding or offering assistance, the cashier was dismissive and unhelpful. After completing the call, my daughter contacted the restaurant, apologized for the inconvenience, and again requested a refund. She was initially told that the receipt had been thrown away. Later, the receipt was apparently found, but she was then informed that if she wanted a refund--or even the food she had paid for--she would have to return to the location in person. The problem is that she lives more than an hour away and was only in the area because she was working. I called the following day in an attempt to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, I was met with the same attitude. The employee refused to provide her name, refused to provide a manager's name, and refused to provide any contact information for someone who could address the complaint. To be clear, this is not about the cost of a meal. Had the employee been courteous, professional, or even remotely helpful, we likely would have let the matter go. Emergencies happen. Schedules change. We understand that. What prompted this review was not the lost food or the refund itself--it was the employee's rude attitude, lack of professionalism, and complete unwillingness to help resolve a simple customer service issue. I will also acknowledge that by the end of my phone call, I became frustrated and was not as polite as I should have been. I regret that. However, that frustration came only after repeated attempts to handle the situation respectfully and being met with rudeness and resistance at every turn. A business can recover from a mistake. What it cannot afford is employees who treat customers with contempt and then refuse to provide any way to contact management when a legitimate concern is raised. Management should be aware that this employee's behavior reflects poorly on the entire business. If this is how customers are treated when they encounter an unexpected emergency, then potential customers deserve to know before choosing to spend their money here.

There were a few things that really stood out and made me very happy that I gave it a try. First, the red sauce in the salsa bar: very legit! Spicy, but very flavorful! I also tried the green chili/tomatillo sauce, which was also very good and good counter point to the unctuous marinated chicken. And they don't go cheap on the meat. Secondly, the corn tortillas were made in house and were hefty! Very tasty and held together where other tacos need two of the thin store-bought variety to have a hope to stand together. Very good. If I had the tiniest critique, I would say to add a tiny bit more salt to them, but I have a theory why they may go scant on it, and I respect that. Third, the beans and rice: The beans were very simple, but simply good. It takes a lot of guts to make and serve simple pinto beans boiled with salt. I know! What a concept! But simply delicious, and made to complement the rest of the food, and not distract from it. It takes a lot of confidence in my opinion for a restaurant to have such faith in their food to leave some that should be simple, simple. The same was true for the rice: simply well made, not over done with a ton of ingredients. It was well made: the individual grains didn't stick together. And it was unctuous without being overbearing. If I had to guess, I would say that they used broth and chicken fat. Simply good, and a complement to rest of the meal. Now to my theory. It makes sense that the masa would be light on the salt because it is the same masa that they use for pupusas, and the filling for pupusas (I just like that word) is savory and well seasoned. I'll let you now next time I got back and try the PUPUSAS! ;)

I usually baseline judge a Mexican spot on their salsas and their carne asada. Salsas are not great. I tried all of them and none of them stood out. Their green sauce is over blended and just doesn't taste great. Asada wasn't the best quality and had gristle. Lengua was kind of shredded into pieces and by the end of the taco I didn't really want to keep eating it. Chicken tasted like it was seasoned with a ramen packet or something just odd seasoning.
