Located on the corner of 8th Street and Pacific Ave. Parking lot available in the back of the building but you can also park on the street. Went there for the quesabirria tacos cuz I thought they were goat. Oh I was so disappointed lol. I was told they don't do the goat quesabirria tacos cuz the goat has bone in it. So instead, I got the beef ones. A bit pricey but the food was really good. The service was also good. Took about 10-15 mins for my order. Everything was nice and hot. I didn't care for the consome. It had no flavor to it. It tasted more oily than anything. However, I do like the portion size. The tacos were also bigger than what I'm used to.

I've had some but when in SoCal, I look forward to finding a better bowl. Muy Pronto delivered. A big bowl of steaming broth and so-tender tripe. Interesting that there were only a few garbanzos but in no way did that detract from my enjoyment of this dish. My palate isn't sophisticated enough to enumerate flavor distinctions, only enough to say this was good, and I'll be back.

Everything here is good and the same family has owned it since the 60's. If you haven't tried it you're missing out.

VERY inexpensive for these times. Since it was so cheap I wanted to try a few different things. I got a cheese quesadilla, 1 chicken taco, 1 beef taco and 1 bean and cheese burrito. The quesadilla was great! So yummy and cheesy. It was quite little though. I LOVED the crunchiness of the tacos and the cheese they put on them. The chicken was decent but the beef was kind of weird to me. I was expecting shredded beef; it was ground beef (kind of like little morsels) but also mushy ? Like it was mixed with something else. I didn't really care for it. The bean and cheese burrito was LARGE and only $4.50! It was good but could use a little bit of salt and/or salsa. I did get some salsa but I didn't like it - it was watery and tasted like tomato juice. I will return but try different items next time. You can't beat the prices! Oh also, it's cash only.

The carne asada had great flavor, and having both sauces on top made every bite better. The red sauce brought a nice richness and the green sauce added a little tang and freshness that balanced everything out. Definitely messy in the best way. The Jamaica drink was cold and refreshing and paired perfectly with the food. The spot has that classic casual Mexican food feel where you know you're about to get a solid meal. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a good burrito.
