Great food! This is my second time and food has been excellent. First time we ordered the combination 5 tacos -pork, chicken pi ill, chicken tandoori, birria cauliflower - all were excellent! The cauliflower tacos are a must! Second time my friend ordered the vegetarian bowl, which she said was. Comes with 5 different sauces - combination of chili, garlic, yogurt. Tortillas are excellent, but you can get naan. This is just a really great combination of flavors, very well prepared. They are super nice. I have been pondering ordering this tamales for the holidays - very unusual and interesting - birria, chicken libio, and sweet potato. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I am one picky ass eater!! This place is bomb!!! I highly recommend! The chicken tacos were definitely my favorite. read more

The burrito was great! It came with a small side of chips as well. Plenty of food for one person, I actually was only able to finish half of it. There's not a ton of seating, and most of it is outside, but there is a good sized parking lot shared with the other businesses in the plaza! read more

I love this place. For lunch I love getting a bowl. It's a great portion of food, flavorful, and cheaper than chipotle.

The food here is delicious! It is unique and full of flavor. The times we have been, one of the owner's has been there to service us. He has always been friendly and helpful with any questions we had. There has plenty of outdoor seating and parking in front of the restaurant. read more

Good for vegetarians and carnivores. So often Indian food feels under spiced for the American pallet. Not this cauliflower!

Service, Food, Vibe. All A+. Have been hearing about this place for a while and finally got to try it out. They delivered!! Will definitely return. Soon, I hope! read more

I found this to be a nice option for some unique burritos, with nice staff to feel welcomed. I think my favorite was either the Pibil Chick Burrito or the Goat Birria Burrito. I also liked the Guju Girl cookies as well as various drinks (when available, that includes the Coco Rose and Chiki Chiki Boom Boom drinks). Thank you for contributing to the community! read more

As an Indian myself, I was excited to try this Indian-Mexican fusion restaurant, especially given its positive reviews. Unfortunately, I found the options limited, particularly for vegetarians. I tried the cauliflower burrito, but it was very disappointing--mainly just flavorless cauliflower and rice with very little sauce, leaving it dry, and the few beans in there lacked flavor. I did not finish it. Hoping for something better, I ordered the masala potato taco, but that too fell short. The potatoes were extremely undercooked, with some pieces being straight up raw. No one wants to eat raw crunchy potatoes...The only highlight was the fenugreek esquites, which had great flavor, but it was served very cold. Sadly, based on this experience, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Very yummy food in a location that is surprising....7-11 shopping center. The restaurant and restrooms inside are super clean and fun. Delicious food, good portions YES YES YES!!!!! read more

This food was so delicious. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, the blend of flavors were so good. I'm going back with friends to try the rest of the items on the menu. I'm really happy to find this place, it's a real treat. My favorite from the items pictured were mom's beans which were a blend of refried beans, chorizo, and cheese and the skirt steak taco. Perfect amount of spicy without being too much or little, I didn't need to add additional sauces. Great place, give it a try. read more

Great Food and even better service! Tried many items and was not disappointed with any of them. Had the Asada burrito, tacos of pibil chick, Jeera chick and asada. We even shared the Jeera Chick Chaat-chos and had sides of mama's beans and chorizo con papa. We washed it all down with Coco Rose. Don't skip mama's beans or you will be so sad. Will definitely be back to try the rotisserie chicken. read more

This quaint little spot off of Rosemead and Del Mar is not to be slept on. When you walk in your are enveloped with the beautiful smells of Indian cuisine with a spike of Mexican spices. My mouth was watering already. We couldn't decide which protein to choose so we opted for the five taco option so we could try one of each. The five fillings are Pibil chicken, Jeera chicken, birria queso, skirt steak asada and haldi cauliflower. We also order a side of kachumber salad and esquites. Let's start with the sides. That cucumber salad was bursting with flavor! Coconut dressing with a hint of lime and mint was a perfect fresh palate cleanser in between bites of tacos. The esquites were full of flavor thanks in part to the fenugreek seasoning that accompanied it. Now for the tacos. Ranked in order of the way we liked them best. The winner was the pibil chicken. Served on a grilled flour tortilla with mayocoba whole beans, GG's sauce queso fresco and pickled red onions!!! Wow this bite was bursting with so much flavor. The citrusy pibil marinade was perfect with a sip of Piña jarritos soda. All the ingredients melded together so well. And that GG's sauce. I want to drink it. Lime, cilantro, garlic and queso fresco! Forget tomatillo avocado salsitas, this is the new green sauce for me! Our next favorite was the birria queso. I'm usually not a fan of these tacos as the cheese usually overpowers the delicate flavor of birria meat. Not the case here as they make birria the classic way with goat meat. That delicious goat flavor comes through and the sauce was to die for. Just needed a little hit of lime. Third was surprisingly the haldi cauliflower. The seasoning on it (I'm thinking turmeric) was delicious. Poured with GG sauce, queso fresco and red onions it was a surprisingly flavorful bite. The Jeera a chicken fell a bit flat for me. It was missing some kind of season to get it to pop off. It definitely couldn't hold up to being a taco filling. Probably would work on a salad with some raita sauce. Last on the list was the steak asada. Not because it wasn't marinated well, it needed a good salsa and some lime! The salsa brava they served us wasn't very macha. So I was missing that chiltipin or chipotle kick. On a side note the tortillas were excellent! Both the corn and flour which only served to elevate the flavor. Definitely give Thai spot a try if you are in the area. You won't regret it! read more

Indian and Mexican fusion, owned by a couple who started cooking for friends during the pandemic. My family enjoyed the Carne Asada taco the most, because it had a great charcoal flavor that only a few can get. The rest of the meals were a but spicy for my taste, but they had excellent seasoning. Will return! read more

Bomb.com 10/10 would recommend. I tried all three taco options. Mexican seasoned chicken, indian season chicken and the birria De chivo. It is the perfect Mexican Indian fusion restaurant. Its very low key but the flavors are impactful! There are some restaurants that are good heck even great and you never go back.... I am definitely coming back to this place. read more

Decided to treat myself to lunch. This is a nice cozy place. I ordered the Chachos per the recommendation of my son who loves this place. They did not disappoint. I honestly didn't pay attention to what's in it but it was absolutely delicious. Be warned that it is a big serving so it's good to share. I had plenty left over for later. A different spin on one of my favorite foods. The service was excellent as everyone was kind and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try other items on their menu. read more

No flavor very bland over priced disgusting never again. Didn't like the service. Overall bad experience

Fire.... Absolute fire coming out of this kitchen. I've been following them for a long time and welcome them with open arms to their new location in east Pasadena. This place will be on rotation like the chronic Album from 92. Don't you dare sleep on this place because from my experience, they come.. they conquer... and they move on. read more

THIS IS NOT A DRILL   My favorite chicken spot aka the pop-up restaurant and Smorgasburg legends that the LA food press has been telling us about is up and running in a physical location in Pasadena:  Saucy Chick has joined forces with birria baddies Goat Mafia to offer their kick-ass, collaborative menu with the ability to dine-in or take-out almost every day of the week.  I promise, I WILL abuse this power.   I have not even made a dent in their expanded Indian x Mexican fusion menu, but here's what we tried and that I know to be amazing:   Pibil Chick Nachos & Jeera Chick Chaat-chos.  That's right -  I usually get these together because me and my crew cannot decide which we love more.  So I say, "Why not both?" (I've also found they re-heat in the air fryer amazingly well in case you have leftovers).  The layers and depth of flavor and texture on these respective Mexican and Indian takes on nachos elevate them beyond any nachos you've had before.  They look beautiful, too (Is there anything that pink pickled onions can't make prettier?).  I am not exaggerating when I tell you that these are death row last-meal good. My absolute favorite.   The Pibil and Jeera Bowls:  These are an excavation in deliciousness.  You hit these layers of flavor between the meat, the rice, the corn, the beans, and the condiments and it's wild that everything has its own character, but it all works so well together.  Harmony in a bowl.   Fenugreek Esquites:   These are integrated into the bowls I just mentioned, and were so singular and amazing, I ended up ordering a whole side of them.  The flavor is amazing - sweet, nutty and maybe a little aromatic?  I've never tasted anything like them - my understanding is that they are Indian-inspired.   If I was a nursing mother, I'd eat these every day for my baby (look it up :D).   Kachumber Salad:  Vibrant, ultra-fresh splash of green goodness - perfect complement to some of the more indulgent dishes.   Popped Mustard Seed Potatoes:  Another offering with an Indian profile. If you've never had mustard seed potatoes with cumin and masala, fix that :D.  This one will be on repeat.    Pibil Chicken Tamale Kit:  Note that this is a limited time item offered at the holidays, so mark your calendars for next year, I guess.    The kit is customizable, but the tamales are delicious and generous, and you can get them with all the fixins to customize your plate - This was our Chirstmas Eve meal, and it did not disappoint.  They also offer tamales made with birria de chivo.  But again, this is seasonal.   As far as the birria go, I have yet to sample (I keep getting stuck on the nachos and chaat-chos) - but my bud had birria tacos and said it was phenomenal.    Finally, I love the location.  It's welcoming, super clean, and the folks working there are the best. read more

I normally stay away from goat birria because I find the taste too gamey. Trust me when I tell you this might be the best birria tacos you will ever ever ever bite into. Packed with so much flavor, tender meat in thick delicious tortillas. The asada tacos were my second favorite. Also do yourself a favor and try the sides esp Mom's beans. They are so oh-em-gee yummy! read more

Everything here is amazing and I don't say that lightly I mean everything!!!! Even down ....or should I say especially down to the sauces! Not only is the food incredible but it's CONSISTENTLY incredible! It's hard to put into words just how amazing everything is but if I had to summarize they just understand how to season and flavor things on a level that is truly unmatched. The service was friendly, the attention to detail in decor creates such a unique and warm ambiance. The food the people the atmosphere it's the whole package. If I could give 100 stars I would! Tell your friends tell your grandma everyone has to experience it!!!! read more

Nice people but the food doesnt cut it. Indian and Mexican does work well and I have been to many fusion restaurants. There is fusion where you take a dish of one cuisine and you blend it with seasonings and cooking techniques to make an original dish of another cuisine. In this case, they took the basic Mexican food and added Indian spices to it. Just not the same - it doesnt work. read more

The flavors are so good! I had the 3 tacos and all of them tasted different with strong flavors and mixed well with their toppings.

love all the flavor combos and juiciness of each meat. the lamb was rich and just the right amount of gaminess while the carne asada was well seasoned and not at all tough or chewy. both the pibil and jeera chicken were perfectly cooked and not at all dry. can't wait to go back and try more items especially when they have birria again! apparently they're reformulating the recipe to increase the fusion aspect so i can't wait to see what they come up with! read more

Not sure how this place got a good reviews, costumer service 0,food -2 , ambiance 1. We ordered chicken a la carte and they brought it cold, when I asked them to warm it up,they didn't even apologize,they brought it back with a hot metal plate but the chicken stayed same. The tacos were okey. Oh my god ..I forgot to tell you guys about the supper mini sauce,I never saw those plates anywhere. The worst thing in this story the bad service we had it was from the co owner.. read more
