    The Huevos con machaca still do not disappoint , It would be nice if you showed your prices on the wall or had a menu with prices! prices seem to keep going up!

    I love a good menudo and this place had a delicious menudo!!! So good and the chilaquiles are great too!! The cafe de Hoya oh my is amazing!! Love this place, and the service is great

    The best.

    Pambazo with horchata

    Was in the area for work and luckily stumbled upon this place. Tried the pambazo which was so good. Their other food looks good too. I live far away from this place but if I lived closed by I would be a regular. They have so many different foods to choose from. They have Bionicos as well and healthy juices. All their food is good you can tell. This is a whole in the wall spot that you won't see it if you are driving by because the parking is so small but they have so much to offer. Authentic food.

    The food is always exceptional!!! I love that the tortillas are hechas a mano!! The quesadillas fritas are my favorite I pretty much have had everything on the menu except breakfast!! I only go for lunch!!

    Carne Asada tacos with Homemade tortillas shells were pretty Delish! Just too many flies if you dine in.

    I was in search of a sit down Mexican restaurant in the area so I last minute chose this place. I…read morethought it was odd they close at 6pm being a place that serves buckets of beer. The vibe was really off. The place is nice and clean and appealing but there was no music playing. They had on naked and afraid and some news on their TVs. We were the only people there so the place was so quiet and boring. The lady was very polite, but it just wasn't a "fun environment". The food came out at all different times which was weird because we were the only ones there. I'm always trying to find somewhere close to go hang out and invite friends to have drinks and eat but it was just so off I wouldn't want to go back with friends. Food- I had the fish taco which was good, the calamari was very chewy and not that good, and the enchiladas were decent Service - Service was good (flys were coming in tho so I think they should keep the door closed) Ambiance- lacking. They need some fun music and give me a reason to order some beer and hangout more. I don't really see this as anything other than a takeout place unless they extend their hours and improve the vibe.

    I love this cute hidden gem in carson. It's hard to find a good shrimp cocktail these days! Plus…read morethey serve incredible MIcheladas and have big TV's to watch games.

    Located in a strip mall. Lots of parking…read more I've walked by and didn't even realize it was here. The only reason I came is because the owner was in a POV husband video. Takes credit card. Sell bottle beer and seltzer They have a condiment bar available. Taco $3.25- feels like a steep price. But the tortilla are hand made and have a nice chew. They are thick, but not too fluffy. Carnitas taco- the meat was really tasty. It was soft but still crispy with texture. A little excess oil. But was really good. Could be seasoned more. Asada- meat was soft. Has a nice grilled taste Al pastor- soft. The flavor is average. Nice texture to the meat grilled. Top shelf fries $16- was super super good. I would get this again. Great to share. Fries has your choice meat, topped with sour cream and guac. The fries are seasoned shoe string fries

    I am so sad to say that top shelf tacos just isn't what it used to be. I used to frequent the area…read morea few years ago and this place was my go to spot for fresh tacos. I think the biggest difference is that they stopped making the tortillas by hand and the meat doesn't taste as good as it used to. In all honesty, the quality has gone downhill. I know that they started a burger food truck that they have parked outside and maybe they are focusing their efforts on that but the change is definitely noticeable in a negative way. I was so excited to come back, but was pretty disappointed with my meal. I will say that the one good thing that they still have going for them is their amazing staff. All of the workers are extremely kind and helpful and they work very hard to keep a clean and aesthetic area. If you heard the hype of fresh handmade tortillas and wanted to try top shelf tacos, save yourself the trip. They don't do it anymore and It's just like any other taco place.

This place is cash only and is run by the owner, he works really hard and is so sweet to each person. I only saw him working, so do be patient. Not a lot of area to sit down and eat there, so this is also great if you want some takeout. I had the ground beef and potato burrito, so yummy! I normally am not a huge fan of beans but his beans are the best. My husband got the nacho supreme and two chicken tacos. Nacho supreme was great, lots of toppings and beans and cheese. Tacos were good, but he wishes the tomatoes in the tacos were diced. They gave us two salsas, both were not spicy! Great spot for a quick meal with a nice owner.

    A very casual place to enjoy some Baja surf & turf!…read more We came on Wednesday to take advantage of their Fish Tacos Wednesday Special for $1.99. Hard to beat a fresh fish taco for that price! Great deal for a delicious fish taco! We arrived before the dinner rush, but it was already busy here! Hubby ordered at the counter at 4:51PM and our food was ready to be picked up by 4:58PM. Quick service! As we were eating, I noticed all the banner hanging overhead. There are certain specials on Mon, Tue, Wed, & Thurs. Plan your visit depending on what special is happening that day of the week! Beyond the specials, they offer tacos, burritos, Mojarra Frita, Seafood Cocktails, Quesadilla, Fish Chicharrones, Sopes, Nachos, and some seasonal items. You can get seafood (shrimp, fish, and meat (beef, pork, and chicken). The only thing I really didn't like were the seats. They are benchlike with a slight curve. I'm short, so my feet don't reach the ground and the edge of the seat that curves upward was uncomfortable for my legs as they were dangling. Short person problem. I would definitely return again for Fish Tacos Wednesday! We each had 2 tacos and shared the Chips with Guacamole & Salsa. Our total came out to $14.21 ... now that's a real deal!!

First time going to this place and the girl working there just ignored me trying to place an order at the counter. Second time another worker ignored me for pickup order.

The bleached hair lady kept waving her hand at me to wait while she was boxing up orders coming out of the kitchen. My order was already at the pickup station but she chose to ignore me 10min. All she had to do was give me my order that was already done and go back to boxing up orders coming out. Food is good but don't expect any type of customer service at this location. Worst customer service with two different girls working here. Time to find another place
