Ernesto S.

Just moved to the neighborhood and got to say this is a pretty solid fish taco. Not the biggest fish taco but super fresh and made to order. Definitely would get again but don't sleep on their salsas. Red and green both equally amazing! I paid $9.00 for 2 tacos. As for the restaurant itself super clean and kept up and awesome customer service! See you guys soon and can't wait to try the restaurant itself of the menu!

Cool local spot 4 some good burritos tacos & fruit drinks some of my personal favorites are the agua fresca drinks you got to get there early they run out of the the good flavors currently drinking a pineapple one which is very good for burrito I go with the saw the burritos really good and they have one of the better crunchy fish tacos I've had definitely recommend that

I ordered the 3 tacos combo and it's supposed to come with chips and a soda and rice and beans. The chips were half filled in the little bag they provided and they do not let you pick your own salsas to go which were also tiny. Secondly worker gave us our food and forgot to give us a soda, which i had to remind him. Then he proceeded to tell us the soda machine wasn't working and told us to get a soda from the fridge. I picked out a glass bottle of soda and was about to walk out when he yelled that it's an extra charge and it has to be a can of soda instead which is not part of the combo because it should've been the fountain soda in the first place. Overall lot of up charge for the little amount of food that they give you and they didn't mention the chile was an extra charge on top of the food. I also ordered a Torta and fish tacos which didn't have a lot of ingredients for the price that they charge you. There are better options nearby that will not up charge for salsas and chiles and not cheap with the chips or ingredients. customer service was 2/5 as well.

The two chicken taco combo was delicious. The tortillas tasted homemade. The chicken was very tender. The rice and beans were cooked very well. The service was great. And the ambiance feels like you can dance because the music they are playing.

This is the spot if you want a authentic Mex food. Spicy and flavor level is perfect and customer service by far the best for restaurant around the area. Come give these guys a try.

I really wanted to like this place but it was a little disappointing. The pictures on their website and all over their restaurant looked way better than it actually looked in person. When we ordered, I was disappointed to hear that they were out of fish tacos and guacamole. They were set to close in an hour. Fish tacos appears to be their signature item though and I was looking forward to trying it. You walk up to the counter to order and they bring the food to you. We ordered: 3 Taco combo (Al Pastor, Shrimp and Chicken) Individual Tacos: Al Pastor, Shrimp and Asada The first thing I noticed was the lack of presentation. The Corn tortillas were not warm and soft. Almost as if they were quickly put together. Least favorite: Asada Shrimp- tender but lacking in flavor Al Pastor- favorite of the 3 tacos. Good flavor. Grilled. Tacos didn't have much filling. It seemed like they were trying to stretch out the meat they had since there were people still coming in even though they close at 8pm (for a Friday?) Chicken taco - not much flavor. Moist. Rice and beans - tasty Roasted Yellow Pepper- known for them. Very good. Great roasted flavor with a little sweetness. Foam plates? Maybe I wouldn't have minded if the food was amazing. For a restaurant, I would expect something more than foam plates. Definitely not worth the $$ for the food. Left still feeling hungry Not sure I would come back.

I've had a positive experience every time I come here. Food is fresh and portion are a good size. Taco Tuesday offers a free fish taco with a purchase of any taco. Items ordered: fish tacos, agua de piña con chamoy and Tajín. Overall, I thought that fish tacos were great. They were cooked perfected and bartered just right. The salsa was good and offered just the right amount of spice. The pineapple water was super delicious. My 3 year old devoured the entire thing. Overall, fast service and plenty of space inside. The employees are generous and the inside is always looking clean. Good food and descent prices.

This place is hard to miss as it takes up a long stretch of building with a bright sign in the shopping center next to Home Depot. Being a Whittier native, thought I'd finally better try this spot. They have a good sized menu offering classic mexican foods as well as some things that were new to me (gobernador looks amazing ) I had the fish taco plate and my boyfriend had the shrimp quesadilla. Both were really good but expect this to be homestyle cooking, not for the health conscious. My boyfriend was in love with the tamarindo and was so happy that they sell it for take home in small cups. If the restaurant got an interior facelift with upgraded seating, less flies and clean floors/ tables, I think it would better match the quality of food and service offered here. There are plenty of other foods In looking forward to trying on the menu but will likely be getting to go. PS- They offer catering!

We've been here a few times and my hubby likes it better than I do. I think they have good fish tacos but the batter is sometimes crispier than I prefer.

Update: I have to admit this is my go to spot every Tuesday for lunch. I was actually able to taste the house salsa (red & green), mild but good. I can honestly say the one thing I see that this place takes pride in, is customer service. The owner/manager should be so happy that they hired very courteous staff.

There is this way I tell a restaurant by its crowd. For taco place, crowds of hispanic is a good sign. I was brave to take my long time, no see college friend from overseas, his whole family of 4, visiting west coast of USA, to this place. Oh man, I got to say, I was worries not to make impressions. I did with Tacos. I ordered fish & carnitas tacos and they are the best tacos I have had for a long time, since COVID-19. If you can go Tue, Taco Tue buy 2 get 1 free, great deal.

Man....this was my go to spot in La Mirada because there aren't many taco spots in La Mirada....especially fish taco spots. Ordered a burrito and was told it has guac in it. Great, so I ordered it. Turned out that it did not have guac and I had to pay extra for Glock like I was at Chipotle I thought I was going to a taco shop that wasn't like the large chain restaurants, guess I was wrong. Apparently I was misinformed by the new cashier that was describing what the burrito had which is not my fault but that goes to training and the training regimen that this establishment has so I would take a look at the training schedule that these new hires go through because they should know the product and be able to describe it much better than what is seen on the picture menu maybe I'm just being selfish in that I want it described to me by the people that work there but I hate to say it if you make one mistake you're going to continue to make mistakes so this will probably be the last time I go to this place I'll just go to Taco Nazo in the habra they have better fish tacos anyways it's a little bit of a drive but the fish tacos are worth it read more

Food is alright, nothing out of the ordinary hence the two stars but customer service is horrible. The "chef" is rude. I'm not sure if he's in charge but a young man about early 30s I spoke to was rude. I wanted to speak to him about the shrimp for the shrimp tacos I ordered. He took it a completely different direction. I meant no offense to begin with, just constructive criticism. The man with a black chef coat was extremely rude & hostile. I wanted to come back a different time & give it another try in the future but with this hostility, never again. I hope they train their staff better & improve their customer service. read more

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.

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.

From the moment you arrive, the vibe is lively and welcoming--perfect for grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a full meal. Let's talk about the star of the show: the birria tacos... these are straight fire . The tortillas are perfectly crisped on the outside, soaked in rich, flavorful consommé, and packed with tender, juicy meat that's seasoned to perfection. Every bite is loaded with savory goodness, and dipping them into that deep, flavorful broth just takes it to another level. Easily some of the best birria tacos around. And you cannot leave without trying the churros. Fresh, warm, and coated in just the right amount of cinnamon sugar, they're the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how churros should be. Overall, Papi Tacos & Churros delivers on flavor, quality, and experience. Whether you're going for the hype or just looking for legit, delicious food, this spot does not disappoint. Definitely coming back for more!

I also ordered their quesataco with birria and asada, regular asada taco, and their homemade churros. Out of the tacos, I liked the asada quesataco the best. For the churros, one order comes with two. I got an order of churros with lechera and another with Nutella. The churros were okay - maybe I expected more because the churros are made in-house. They do satiate the sweet tooth cravings, but I wouldn't go out my way for these. Their horchata, on the other hand, is really good (on the pricer end)! They have a few tables and benches inside and a decorative, fun, and vibrant outdoor seating. They're located on the corner of Rosecrans and Pioneer in the Norwalk Town Square plaza so you won't miss it!

Krunch Burger

Barely moved to Whittier about a month ago , and seen all the good reviews about Krunch Burger so I…read moredecided to see for myself. I kinda had low expectations because I've always assumed smash burgers were going to be a thin burger that would not fill you up.... Boy was I wrong. I went in 30 mins before closing on Saturday and there weren't that many people so I kinda was nervous. The young Asian girl at the front was very kind and was answering all the questions I had and what kind of combinations were possible. I ended up getting a double smash burger (added some grilled onions) with bacon and jalapeños w/ crunch fries and a butterfinger milkshake (I got a big appetite lol) . The for the crunch fries you're required to pick two different dipping sauces and my gosh there were so many different options that sounded so appetizing that I didn't know which ones to pick, I ended up just getting the classic Krunch Islands (thousand islands sauce) and the garlic aioli. Picking up the burger I knew this wasn't no regular skinny patty smash burger..... this bad boy had some weight to it and it sure wasn't the toppings. The burger was immaculate, filling and overall worth the price. The only downside was the cheese not really a fan of processed cheese but that's just my opinion.... And I still ended up loving it. The Krunch fries were spot on exactly what I was thinking it would be. The butterfinger milkshake immaculate as well. Words can't describe it And the thing that I pointed out from the burger was the pickles. Those pickles are not joke they really go beyond with there house based pickles. Will definitely be coming back to this spot.

Honestly so good and everything made fresh to order! The woman who rang me up was so lovely and…read moretalked about their different in home sauces. She mentioned how they make their own pickles and grated their own cheese right off the block. Sat at the bar with view of the cooking and assembly process, each step looked like it was made with care. The fries, omg these fries were superb!!! The perfect texture and crunch, hot out of the fryer and well seasoned. From all the pictures of the krunch burger I was a little skeptical thinking how greasy and oily it must be. But I was so surprised that it wasn't! Despite the smashed grilled cheese skirt it didn't otherwise feel like biting into a layer of grease. Had it with jalapeños which are a must! Its a fairly heavy meal so I wouldn't say eat this daily but for a treat-yo-self kind of burger experience this spot is it!!

I'm the guy that laughed at what I presume to be the boss(unbeknownst to me at the moment) after the cook refused to prioritized his order before the customers orders. "Waaa my tacos take less than two mins to make and not 20 mins" he cried. He then stormed out of the restaurant huffing and puffing, prob even more upset that I giggled at him. Shortly after he comes back in. He paces back and forward before making what I presume to be his power play against me for laughing at his tantrum. He walks behind the counter and exchanges some words with the employees about the order he was waiting on. He then decides to pick up my order(I ordered nachos in front of him so he knows it's mine) with his unsanitary hands. He holds it up close to his visage breathing his COVID germs all over it and then proceeds to hold his camera phone to it as if taking pics. At this point I'm just thinking "man I'm throwing theses nachos away and never coming back here again." As soon his he puts it down, he then asked for some gloves to put on. For what? To make his order which was already made? To help make customers orders that he doesn't prioritizes? You would think I'd ask for a refund or for another plate, but no. They can keep my money. Also props to the Cook for prioritizing his bosses customers orders first. It's what I would want as business owner my self. read more

Not the type to typically write reviews, but it would be a sin not to write a review for the Chilaquiles I just ate! Total Hidden Gem, wouldn't have known this place was here if it weren't for taking a wrong turn into this shopping center. Ordered the chilaquiles and added Asada to it....Holy S**t!! Mouth Bursting with Flavor. Too bad I had ordered this to go, and ate this at home. If I would have eaten there, I would have personally thanked the Cook who made this meal. Flavor was Fire, none of that imitation stuff. read more

First time eating at Reventaco and my husband and I were very happy with both the food and service. I had 2 chicken tacos plus pastor. The meat in both was full of flavor. My husband had the fish tacos and was also very happy with them. First time we had tried banana peppers that are grilled and placed on the plate as garnish, absolutley delicious. We will definitely be back and bring the rest of family. It's nice to know that La Mirada has another good restaurant to eat at. read more
