If you're looking for a great value meal in Pacoima, this might not be the best spot for you…read more The setup is fast food-style: you order at a window, they prompt you for a tip on a tablet, and then drop your food off. The focus seems to be on serving the Spanish-speaking community, as the cashier didn't appear to speak English very well. The place has a casual vibe with a TV showing sports and a pool table, if that's your thing. I've been wanting to try tlacoyo ever since I had it on the streets of Mexico City, but this wasn't the version I had in mind. Their tlacoyo is deep-fried, not made with blue corn tortillas. It's a masa dough shaped like an American football and stuffed with beans. It's listed as an appetizer, and they'll ask if you want to add meat on top. The fried tlacoyo was delicious, and the meat was well-marinated and flavorful. However, I personally prefer the street tacos de asada at Taqueria Mi Ranchito in Sylmar or Tacos Mayos in Van Nuys, where I'm a regular and can get tacos de asada for just $2.50 each on handmade tortillas. At $22 for the tlacoyo appetizer (including the always awkward cringe tip request at the register), the prices felt steep for what you get, especially without table service. I won't be returning, as I feel the value doesn't match the cost. This food experience did not bring me back to streets of Mexico City where I first had my first bite of tlacoyo, so I'll be heading to Komal soon to try their artisanal heirloom blue corn version for just $9.50.

I finally tried Ritchie's Hot Chicken in San Fernando and... I get the hype now!…read more This place really knows how to do hot chicken right from the flavor to the spice balance to the portions. I ordered the Ritchie Rich Fries and 3 pieces of their tenders (a la Carte) both at their medium spice level. It was truly the perfect heat. The medium has a nice kick that lets you know you're eating hot chicken, but it's not overwhelming at all. No pain, no regrets, just flavor. If you want spice without it being too hot, medium is absolutely the move. The tenders were cooked perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and evenly coated in seasoning. The spice didn't overpower the chicken, which I really appreciated. Every bite was crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying, and you can tell the chicken itself is high quality for sure. Now let's talk about the Ritchie Rich Fries!!!! These deserve their own moment. They were fully loaded and extremely saucy, in the best way possible. The sauce soaked into the fries just enough without making them soggy, and everything worked together perfectly. The combination of chicken, fries, coleslaw, and pickles, was honestly elite. The coleslaw added a cool, creamy balance to the spice, while the pickles brought that tangy bite that cuts through the richness. Every forkful had the perfect mix of heat, crunch, creaminess, and acidity. Portion-wise they definitely don't hold back. The plate was filling and worth every dollar. This is comfort food done right! Definitely indulgent, flavorful, and satisfying from start to finish. Shoutout to Hilda by the way! You can tell she really knows what she's doing back there. Watching her prepare the food, especially the Ritchie Rich Fries, made it clear she doesn't play when it comes to the food here haha. She loaded those fries with care and confidence, and it shows in every bite. That kind of attention makes a difference and definitely elevated the whole experience. Overall, Ritchie's Hot Chicken absolutely delivers. Great spice levels, generous portions, insanely loaded fries, and chicken that's cooked exactly how it should be. If you're a hot chicken fan or just looking for a solid, flavorful meal, this spot is a must-try. I'll definitely be back, and honestly, I'd order the exact same thing again without hesitation! Thanks for having me. :)

I usually get the pad thai or spicy eggplant, and with an All Day Special that's around $12, it can't be beat.

Flavors are great and food is always freshly prepared and served steaming hot. The waitress, Daisy, is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive even when it's busy. It has that cozy family restaurant vibe and the consistently great food and service make it well worth the visit.
