    Campechana
    Louie R.

    Tried the campechana and I will come back. If you are near, try it You will not be disappointed

    Súper mal servicio, como es posible que tenga mi carnet de perro de servicio y no me dejen ingresar al lugar, pago por mi perro para que me dejen ingresar si en mi carnet dice que puedo ingresar a cualquier restaurante, me dejan entrar a restaurantes como TAO y otros restaurantes más exclusivos y no en este.... 0 recomendación

    Yummy!! We called ahead so they were quick and friendly. It was spacious and best of all, there was parking!!

    Before the extra chilies

    Paloma or Paola was so kind and friendly. She was very prompt and kind despite the busy rush. I got the spicy Aguaschiles and wanted it more spicy so she gladly got me more chilis. First time here and the food was really good (:

    The best! Almost better than in Mexico lol

    El viejon is epic. Seriously legend amongst us. If you're from Sinaloa or want authentic seafood this is THE BEST. Scallops are my favorite food, and so viejon has the best . I've been coming here for over ten years and it doesn't skip a beat it's always so fresh and tasty. Phenomenal truly deserves a Michelin star. I die for their callo de hacha they get it weekly from Mexico. You can taste the preparation style is super authentic too with fresh chiltpetin Chile truly the best . Highly recommend, for sure the best as close to Mexico as you'll ever get in LA.

    TACOZ is a special business that reflects both cultural pride and dedication in a way that is…read moreincreasingly rare. Demanding as Mother's Day, when most places are overwhelmed, they still managed to deliver an experience that felt intentional and heartfelt. Despite the long wait, it was clear that the demand far exceeded expectations, yet the service never lost its warmth. At one point, she even offered me an agua fresca as a gesture of kindness while I waited. I respectfully declined, understanding that a day like Mother's Day comes with heavy volume and pressure, and that delays are simply part of supporting a small business doing its best under strain. What stood out most was the owner's presence. She carried herself like a mother to everyone there serving each customer as if they were family. She stepped away from her own personal time to make sure other families were fed and cared for. That kind of sacrifice and commitment is not just business; it's cultural preservation in motion. TACOZ brings authentic heritage flavors to the city in a way that feels irreplaceable. The tamales, carnitas, and overall food experience were deeply rooted in tradition and full of flavor that reflects generations of culture. People should understand that moments like this are not about convenience they are about supporting something real. On busy days especially, patience is part of respecting the work being done. Instead of criticism, there should be appreciation for what it takes to keep a small, culture-driven business alive and thriving. In the end, TACOZ delivered more than food. It delivered a connection to heritage, family, and community. That kind of experience is something worth valuing and protecting. Keep Going gurl ! I'll be back and so many of your audience ! One person doesn't bring down a team ! Thank You ! *Your food brought tears to my family knowing they will never be able to go back to Michoacán for several reason but was able to revisit them once more !

Both meats were good, but a little under-seasoned for my personal taste. I also tried the Jamaica agua fresca. It was refreshing, but I'd personally give it about a 2 out of 5. On the other hand, the salsa macha was really good and added a lot of flavor to the meal. The place is a bit small for dining in, especially when it gets busy, but the customer service was great. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I'd definitely come back again because I noticed several other menu items I'd like to try next time.

Day after Halloween, menudo is a must.e Went in on a Sunday at 8am, 2 other customers waiting in their car for the shop to open. There's a sign that reads go orders only and other signs that say you can order through Uber Eats or Postmates. Unfortunately you can't order menudo through there because it is an item that is only sold on the weekend. Once inside all the tables are not available to sit and there docs in the ground that read 6 feet apart. They no longer fill your olla but the portions I got were were good I just can't get as much liquid as I normally like. The menudo was as good as it always was and in the future I'll place my order over the phone and they don't mind bringing it out. If you pay cash and tip the change you can probably have a totally contactless experience.

That's like selling you tacos and charging for the tortillas extra. Ridiculous customer service . I won't be coming back , Mr menudo might be next on my list .
