It is so much fun finding a restaurant that has tacos but the menu in not a cookie cutter of every other taco menu and even the restaurant name is eye opening. We both has a Jeera Taco, Hand-pull Jeera rotisserie chicken, herbaceous GG Sauce, Mayocoba beans, lime pickled onions, mint. She also had a Chicken Tinga Masala Taco, tender, hand-pulled chicken simmered in a smoky chipotle-tomato sauce, finished with warm Indian masala blend. I had a Smoked Lamb Kashmiri Barbacoa Taco, smoked tender lamb in adobo, kissed with Indian spices and Kashmiri salsa. I can say one thing about all four taco, delicious mixtures of flavors each with it own unique taste. So many other flavors I want to go back and try. We also shared Zucchini fries and there Kachumber salad, very refreshing. Super friendly place with inside and outside seating. read more

LOVE this place! So unique and yummy. It's hidden away but worth the effort to find and enjoy. We go here often and always get great service too! read more

Food: I got the Jerra chicken taco, masala potato taco, and pibil taco. All three tacos were so flavorful and I like that you could get a sauce flight. As a lover of Indian food and whose heritage is from Yucatán, I would definitely get this again. The flavors blended so well and provided a nice pop on interesting. Service: However, the man at the counter with the glasses knew it was our first time and was not welcoming and acted annoyed of us. I take pride in being considerate to service workers and I understand some days are tough because I am one myself but game recognize game and his was not it. read more

Really good Birria de Chiva - succulent, savory with a nice spiciness. The portions here are generous: a single taco is filling and a burrito is a two fisted meal. read more

I can't believe I haven't been here before. Saucy extravaganza! Two perfect tacos (birria and asada) with a side sauce of smoke and heat and nom nom nom. read more

I can't take it anymore! After all of the outstanding Yelp! reviews and rave summaries in the Los Angeles Times, LA Magazine and EaterLA, I finally made the trek to Saucy Chick Goat Mafia and, wow, did it live up to the hype. Saucy Chick Goat Mafia was created with the vision of creating an experience that brought together the hospitality and dynamic flavors from both Mexican and Indian cultures. This infusion sets the stage for something magical - full of flavor, depth and heart from good ol' homemade comfort food. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by some amazing aromas from the open kitchen as well as by the warm friendliness of one of the owners, Marcel, who welcomed me, asked me how I heard about them and then decided to answer a few of my questions about the menu. After careful consideration, I decided to go with the 3-Taco Plate ($14): Pibil Rotisserie, Birria Queso and Charred Haldi Cauliflower. Of course, I had to go with the fresh, hand-pressed corn tortillas with each. The intimate space has a few barstools with counter space inside along with 4 picnic-style tables under a shaded patio outside. Plenty of parking in the shared retail lot. The tacos, served up piping hot and fresh, immediately hit my eye with the incredible variety of colors. Each taco, unique and different, perfectly summed up the Indian-Mexican fusion concept on one plate. First up, the hand-pulled Pibil. Amazing! The chicken was slow-cooked and very tender, perfectly balanced savory and sweet with the lime pickled onions, queso fresco, garlicky sauce. The Cauliflower Taco was out of this world. Warm turmeric-roasted cauliflower, pistachio dust, beans, fresh torn mint, and herbaceous sauce. The Birria Queso is out of this world. 100+ year old family tradition, hailing from Jalisco, this incredibly juicy birria is some of the best I have ever had. I could eat about three more of these. SCGM is an incredibly unique fusion food adventure. The reviews match my experience. I am looking forward to trying more items on the menu, and sharing the Saucy Chick Goat Mafia name to others looking for outstanding flavor profiles, friendly service, affordable prices, killer tacos, and just good ol' fashioned homemade deliciousness. Amazing indeed! read more

Oh my god! This place is so good! I got a breakfast burrito because I personally love them, so I had to try it--and I did not expect it to be that big. I was definitely in for a surprise. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the salsa plus the chili oil were the perfect finishing touch. The cashier had great energy and delivered awesome service. Overall, it was a whole vibe, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Overall, pricey for the portion we get. I ordered nachos and usually, nachos come in big portions so my friend and I decided to share. Yes, I checked pictures on Yelp but it looked bigger in pictures. For $16, it was not worth it. I came with a group and to be honest, not sure if it was the spice or just the combo of this idea of fusion, it just didn't work for our taste. The good ol' asada burrito was good though! read more

My friend and I first tried Saucy Chick at DTLA Smorgasburg. We enjoyed it so much we decided to make the trek out to Pasadena to try more items. Unfortunately traffic was not on my side (thanks LA) so by the time I arrived I was very hungry. The menu was robust but we both opted for the 3 tacos plate ($14) and a side. There was an interesting drink rose drink on the menu but they were out of it. My friend chose: Jeera Rotisserie, Birria, Charred Haldi Cauliflower with a medium Kachumber Salad ($5). I ordered: Pibil Rotisserie, Jeera Rotisserie, Birria with a medium Moms Beans ($5) The tacos were great. Strong flavor, well cooked meat, with a nice balance of textures. The Pibil Rotisserie taco was actually a hard shell taco layered with Mom's Beans, GG Sauce, lime pickled onions, queso fresco. This felt the most Mexican in flavor and texture. The Jeera Rotisserie taco was a called back to the flavors we tried at Smorgasburg with Jeera rotisserie chicken, GG Sauce, mayocoba beans, lime pickled onions, mint. A large taco and very filling. Finally, the Birria goat taco was messy but very flavorful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was small with little indoor seating but a couple tables outside. I wish they were a bit closer but I would definitely suggest going if your near by. read more

We received great service! The food was AMAZING!!! If you love Indian and Mexican cuisine you'll really dig this place.

We got here on a Saturday around 7:30pm (they close at 8!) and got the pibil rotisserie chicken bowl and the pibil burrito. The portion is big and they definitely don't skimp on the chicken! The pibil chicken is hand pulled and very very tender - the curry has just the right amount of spice and I love the corn and radish since they introduced an additional layer of texture (crunchiness) to the dish! We absolutely enjoyed it! Would definitely want to come back to try the jeera chicken since they sold out that day! There are a couple seats inside and they also have outdoor tables! The owner was super nice as well! Come and give this Mexican and Indian fusion place a try - you won't regret it! read more

Stumbled across this charming place while running errands and decided to try it, and boyyy am I glad I did! I tried their Jeera Chicken, Chicken Marsala Slider, Sweet Potato Fries, and Fenugreek Esquites - they were all so delicious! The Fenugreek Esquites was such an interesting, yummy take on elote, definitely a new fav, but the Chicken Marsala Slider was the standout winner for me. The patty was so flavorful, I should've ordered more, that was my only regret. Regardless, I'll be back for more for sure! Also shoutout the cashier for the friendly, positive service! read more

Unique concept, very flavorful and great portions. Friendly staff and quick service. I had the trio tacos (birria, steak, barbacoa) with two flavorful spicy sauces. Small area for indoor or outdoor seating. Would recommend to others and come again. read more

Excellent experience in every way. Leo's customer service was unmatched, so so welcoming, friendly, kind, helpful, and approachable. The food spoke for itself, so delicious.

Mexican Indian fusion? It's great! You can get dishes that are primarily only one of each cuisine, but you can also get fusion dishes which, surprisingly, pair well together because the spices overlap. We've ordered the jeera burrito several times and enjoyed it, the pibil nachos and 1/2 pibil chicken. One of the standout dishes is a humble side dish, Mama's beans, which are refried beans blended with chorizo and cheese. These are the best beans in the whole world because they are so savory and addictive. We always order extra, dip chips into them, and overall savor them. Their homemade salsas are also bomb. read more

I love the story of this place...so nice chatting with one of the owners. I'm vegetarian and the options were creative and yummy. Indian and Mexican flavors go so well together!! read more

I had the 1/2 Pibil Chicken rotisserie and 1/2 Ambli Smoked Chicken--both tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The sides--Mom's Beans, Charred Haldi Cauliflower, and two handcrafted Tortillas Mejorado--were just as good. Finished it off with a refreshing Jamaica with ginger. A well-balanced, delicious meal with grate service, and chill ambiance. read more

I was introduced to this Indian-Mexican fusion eatery when they hosted a collaborative event in March in celebration of Women's History Month called "Yes SHEf ! Celebrating Pasadena Femmes in Food". I heard about the event via Yelp Elite events, but it was also promoted through other platforms. The event consisted of a food platter with tastes from 3 local eateries co-owned by women: Agnes Restaurant and Cheesery in Old Town (Vanessa Tilaka Kalb), Kinrose Creamery also in Old Town (Maria Oveysi), and Saucy Chick Goat Mafia (Rhea Patel Michel). The latter 2 "shefs" may have met at Smorgasburg , the huge food truck gathering in the Arts District on Sundays. There was a (female) DJ. I have dined at Agnes a few times, but the other offerings were a new tasty trip around the world. Rhea was the order taker/cashier. Saucy Chick Goat Mafia's offerings were Indian Jeera rotisserie chicken with sauces and tortillas and Kala Chana Chaat salad with chickpeas, cucumbers, mint and more. The chicken was very moist and redolent with "exotic" Indian spices, as were the sauces. The salad was tangy and fresh. SCGM also does a Mexican pibil chicken that I will try in the future. Most of their menu looked enticing and, for me, adventurous. Agnes' offering was raclette, poured by Vanessa from a large melty half wheel onto crisp tater tots. Creamy and decadent. Kinrose's offering (possibly served by Maria) was a Persian sour cherry Ice cream with fairy floss (Iranian cotton candy dusted with pistachio). Also creamy and decadent but in a different way. Their menu has a baklava-inspired ice cream I'd like to try. Overall a unique and wonderful food experience. As an East Pasadenian, it's nice to discover another promising food outlet in the neighbourhood. read more

We were so lucky to find this unique and delicious Indian Mexican fusion restaurant! We wanted to taste both the Indian and the Mexican side of their menu, so I sought the advice of owner Marcel Michel. He did not steer us wrong. We ordered the birria bowl, the special lamb tamal, and quarter jeera chicken with haldi cauliflower and fenugreek esquites. All were 11/10! And the all the sauces were so flavorful! Though we don't live anywhere near this restaurant, it was so good that we will be back to try all the other menu items. read more

I like the story behind this Mexican and Indian taqueria. The Goat Mafia and Saucy Chick Rotisserie had regular pop-ups at Smorgasburg DTLA and now they have joined forces at this brick and mortar. 3-Taco Plate: This sampler is a good place to get your bearings on everything they have to offer. - Jeera Rotisserie: The Indian-style chicken is marinated in ginger, garlic, cumin, and caramelized onions. The flour tortilla holds chicken and beans together along with crema, a green spiced sauce, mint leaves, pink pickled onions, and crispy chickpea noodles. - Birria: The long-simmered Jalisco-style goat birria is juicy with an incredibly tender texture. It's like a mini pot roast with zing. The flavor of the the abundant broth is flavorful and complex from all the spices. This taco requires a thick corn tortilla coated with melted cheese to withstand all the juices. - Pibil Rotisserie: The pollo pibil has chicken marinated in achiote, garlic, citrus, and oregano. It is topped with lime pickled onions, queso fresco, and cilantro. The flour tortilla has spent extra time on the griddle making it extra crispy. Dining Area: There are a few seats inside. In the patio, there are about four tables. Ordering: Place your order at the cash register and they'll your food when it's ready. Parking: This strip mall has a medium sized lot. read more

What a wonderful mix of flavors! I tried Saucy Chick for the first time yesterday and loved the mix of Indian and mexican style of flavors. Highly recommend for delicious food with a unique twist. Staff was super friendly and attentive. read more

My brother goes here quite a bit so I figured why not try it out? We ordered to go. Their tacos are super flavorful and I love their tortillas! The birria was delicious- so much flavor and just the right amount of sauce on it. The meat was very tender also. The carne asada meat was cooked perfectly. Their hot chili oil helps to bring out the flavors! We also got their goat burrito, and I thought it was just okay. I thought it could use some kind of sauce in it so it wouldn't feel so dry inside. Also wished the goat pieces were cut up a little smaller and had a little more seasoning. I would definitely come back for their tacos, I thought they were full of flavor! read more

What a great addition to the neighborhood! 2 of my favorite Mexican and Indian cuisine combined into one! Say no more and get in my belly! They are known for their delicious and tender shredded rotisserie chicken and cooked into Pibil (Mexican) and Jeera (Indian) flavored. Hubby and I got very excited and shared: Jerra Burrito - Chicken, rice, beans. Very simple yet amazing! And I love how it does not feel heavy at all after you eat it. 3 Tacos Plate - love how you can choose between flour and corn tortilla. We chose one each of the Pibil, Jeera, & Birria. All the sides looks wonderful. We got a few like the cauliflower and the mustard seed potatoes. But my absolute favorite is the Mexican corn the Fenugreek Esquites *chefs kiss*!  Can't wait to come back to try to bowls and the nachos. There are 3 tables outside, however it was quite hot in the afternoon and the shades does not pull down.  We were lucky to grab one of 6 bar seats inside. read more

I like the mixture they got going on here at Saucy Chick goat mafia. Indian/mexican flavors gives a new twist. I have a feeling we will be seeing more restaurants opening up like this. Nice clean resturant with couple seats inside and 3 tables outside to seat. It would be great if they got some spicy sauces but no a deal breaker. Pibil chick nachos - Hand-pulled Pibil rotisserie sits on corn chips, slathered with Mom's Beans, herbaceous GG sauce, Ambli Molasses, crema, lime pickled onions, cilantro. A whole lot of yummy flavors in this one dish. And it's plenty enough to even share. Steak Asada Taco - literally a skirt steak chopped up in tiny pieces, cooked medium well, juicy, hand pressed corn tortilla made in house, pickled onions, some beans on the bottom, and cheese Birria Tacos - now the birria taco with cheese melted, hand made corn tortilla, super oily but flavorful. read more

What a unique concept of Indian styled Mexican food? Or is it Mexican style Indian food? Great little location with lots of cute decorations and great service. There's not much parking so prepare to circle the block or park in the 7-Eleven lot next door. We really enjoyed the different meat options in tacos, but they're nachos and bowls look great as well. read more

First of all, I want to say whoever I spoke with when I first entered this place (maybe the owner?) was so friendly and informative. Thank you! I can't believe this place was never on my radar previously. Combining two of my favorite cuisines (Mexican and Indian) is such a great idea, I wish I would have thought of it myself LOL! I ordered a bunch of sides because that's how I roll when I want to try a lot of different things. I had the Jeera rice, Kachumber salad, Mom's and Mayocoba beans, Mustard Seed potatos, 1/4 Jeera Chick, Haldi cauliflower, Mango-Passionate fruit water. The sauce samplers we were given were all delectable and we inhaled most everything in one sitting. I'll definitely be returning because there is so much more to explore on that menu. read more

My mouth is watering just writing this reviewing and remembering every delicious bite of my chicken bowl.

The food was ok. The portions are small for tacos. The flavors not exactly there it lacks flavor you taste the spice but not amazing flavor. I took take out tacos to eat at the park and realized that there was no napkins and no utensils to eat the food. Horrible experience. read more

A true epic love story.... Perhaps, a young Mexican taquero just so happened to fall for a beautiful Indian woman who has her mother's cooking on lock. I'll probably never know if that's really what happened but I will say... that was awesome! The blend of two food powerhouses, executed in perfect harmony. I had three tacos (Pibil chicken, Jeera chicken and Birria queso) all unique, balanced and full of FLAVOR. Also shared the mom's beans and fenugreek esquites (LOVED THE ESQUITES). You couldn't ask for a nicer down to earth owner, she and her crew took care of us. Can't wait to come back and try the nachos and wings!! read more

Holy cow was this good. We found it on Eater while we were on a short trip to Pasadena, and I'm glad we did. We stopped in for lunch with our kids and ordered as much as we could justify. Everything we got was super tasty, but the items I can't stop thinking about were the pibil taco, the masala birria taco, mom's beans and the kid's chicken quesadilla (specifically when we dipped it in mom's beans!). Truly, this was one of those meals where I had to keep having one more bite of everything because I couldn't decide what I wanted my last bite to be. SO good! read more
