    3-22-2026 My boyfriend and I tried their birria burritos, and the meat was so tender. He thought it might be goat. The burrito was well portioned, lots of meat and just the right amount of rice. The red salsa was pretty good, too, and was on the mild side. My boyfriend doesn't usually eat them, but it was all gone before we finished eating. Customer service was pleasant, even on a hot day. I like the fact they took the time to spell my name right. I love that Whittier has so many food trucks like this.

    Amazing service and delicious food. My go to whenever I'm in this area of Whittier, always order the chicken flautas. The red sauce is absolutely amazing and the perfect amount of heat!! Tried the Tropicana agua Fresca (mix of pineapple, hibiscus, and lemon). So good on a hot summer day.

    Quesadilla Gobernador

    The food here is incredible!!! Every item is packed with so much flavor. My favorite is the Quesadilla gobernador; the shrimp, mushroom, and bacon combo is out of this world. And the piña agua Fresca is to die for. For dessert, I always get the churro bites cuz who doesn't like churros!? The service is always timely too. M

    Quesa-Birria Tacos

    Came here tonight after seeing video on hungry in Whittier video. The food we received was nothing compared to the video. Ordered the quesabirria tacos, no consome. Ordered gobenador tacos. Had maybe 1 diced up shrimp and a bunch of veggies with a barely warmed up tortilla. These are supposed to be crispy. Last ordered the chicken taquitos. The video showed sour cream and guac. They came plain with some old soggy lettuce and cotija cheese. Very disappointing visit.

    Food was gross. Ordered the birria and it was delivered on soggy tortillas as well as the meat being in huge chunks and not shredded. The al pastor burrito was very wet on the inside which was interesting. They also forgot to include my consume. I would never order from this place again. Spent $31 just to have soggy wet dog food delivered to me. I even went on yelp to verify reviews before placing the order and the 4 star rating is EXTREMELY generous. Clearly whoever is writing those other reviews has no taste. Don't waste your money on this dump.

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.
