Always drove by this place and told myself I was eventually going to try it and the timing lined up perfectly today. Opened at 11 am and the person at the register was very courteous as well as gave great recommendations. Store front is quite small with limited seating but kept clean. I ordered the 1/4 Pibil Chicken Rotisserie Meal with Kachumber Salad and Roasted Cauliflower as well as a Lamb Birria Taco. I ordered to go and didn't get to the food until about 20-30 minutes later. Food was excellent though! Everything was delicious and felt healthy. The Chicken was extremely tender and juicy, the Kachumber salad was crunchy with what tasted like a yogurt dressing, the Roasted Cauliflower was exactly as described but with a light curry flavor, and the Lamb Birria taco was extremely tender and well seasoned. I highly recommend the chicken but especially that taco. Next time I'll definitely be ordering multiple Tacos or a Burrito. read more

This restaurant has extremely tasty food. I had several flavorful tacos, and my husband had a chicken burrito. The sauce that came with the nachos was a wonderful combination of Indian and Mexican. We enjoyed the food so much. Just a few indoor tables, but lots of outdoor seating. read more

As their name implies, I was expecting some saucy chicken, but it came a bit dry? Both Indian and Mexican have such rich flavors, but the combination here is a bit lackluster. We ordered the chicken rotisserie main in pibil and jeera, it was underwhelming. We also got tacos: skirt steak asada, smoked lamb kashmiri, masala birria goat. I like the steak one the most. Staff was nice and neighborly atmosphere. Shared plaza parking lot. read more

Yes it's Halal (Chicken, Goat, Lamb, Beef) I'm surprised that they don't have more reviews for this Indian-Mex Taco fusion restaurant. I loved all their Red Meat Tacos however the chicken was just okay for my palate. The sides are pretty good and tried most them so far and don't have a favorite yet and whenever I'm in the Pasadena 210 Freeway area this is where I stop to get me some tacos. read more

Fast service Good food Reasonable price I like their chicken Good place to eat. The service was fast and the food was delicious read more

I came in right after opening and basically had the place to myself--no wait, full service, super chill vibes. The staff was friendly and clearly passionate about what they're serving, which makes a big difference. Tried the rotisserie chicken and a mix of their Indi-Mex tacos, and everything was fire. The Indian spices + Mexican format combo just works. Bold, flavorful, and totally crave-worthy. The kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite to figure out why more places aren't doing this. Definitely one of those spots you root for. If you're looking for something new but familiar, this is your move. read more

Fell upon this gem when visiting Pasadena. Where do I start, the perfect balance mix of Indian and Mexican cuisine, lovely owner that took the time to speak with us and tell us about their menu. The sweet savory, textures, and goat.... Yes, amazing goat tacos! They have what we call SAZÓN ! I will most definitely be back, especially for Jeera Chick Chaat - Chos, it was perfection. read more

Love Love Love this place. I recently found it through a friend and their social media. This place is a must go especially if you are in Pasadena! The Chicken Tinga Masala Tacos and the Masala Goat Taco are by far my favorite so far. I also get the Iced Chai latte every time. It has an incredible spice flavor that I can't get enough of! I can't wait to go and try more stuff off the menu. Plus, the guy who takes the orders at the register is always so kind and ready to help you with whatever you need! Thank you all so much! read more

Absolutely love the food everything is delicious, but why FU*K IS THIS PLACE NEVER OPEN. I swear you guys are allergic to making money. There is no reason why you shouldn't be open on a Sunday till at least 8. Every other day should be open till at least 10. Any time I have wanted to eat here within the last 4 months yall have been closed. I'm not even gonna complain about the price tag (yall taxing lowkey) but at least give me the chance to get this. read more

Really enjoyed dinner at saucy chick goat mafia! Indian and Mexican food is really a fantastic combination. We felt super welcomed the minute we walked in and the person taking our order was super friendly and helpful! I really enjoyed my pibil bowl and the corn was awesome! I also really liked the beans. Also really enjoyed the papas con chorizo side - the small was a perfect lil bite of potatoes! Felt like everything was flavorful and interesting without being overly salty. There's only a couple of seats indoors - most of the seating is outdoors, but there's several tables. Pretty casual dining situation. Excited to have this place in the rotation and to try more of their items!! read more

Stopped by for some lunch here this week since I was close by and I've been wanting to try it. I love fusion spots and what better combination than Indian and Mexican food- two of my favorites. Restaurant has an outside sitting area and inside too while also being so vibrant and well decorated. I had to try tacos and asked for some recs- ended up with 1 steak asada, 1 chicken tinga masala and then 1 barbacoa. Service was super attentive and they were really nice - I also got beans since I wanted to try and they gave me nachos to eat alongside ! The beans were really flavorful including some spice but not too overwhelmingly spicy. The tacos itself all were so different with their own seasonings, sauce and toppings. My favorite had to hands down be the chicken tinga masala one as it was so juicy and flavorful. Asada one was also really good and the barbacoa was good although I'm not generally a big fan of lamb. Overall, I really loved this place and def will come back to try something else . 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

Saucy Chick Indi-Mex Eatery - 3-Taco Plate: Pibil Rotisserie Chicken, Charred Haldi Cauliflower and Birria on Homemade Corn Tortillas. - Indian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ignore the strange name--this place serves up some of the craziest and best fusion food I've ever had. Indian and Mexican fusion? Who would've thought it could work this well. I've had this spot multiple times and even had the chance to chat with the owner--super kind and passionate about the food. I've tried the Birria Queso Taco, Jeera Taco, Skirt Steak Asada Taco, and Pibil Taco. My favorite was hands down the Jeera Taco--the flavors are hard to explain, but just know it was insanely good. I also had the Goat Birria Burrito, which was solid, but I personally prefer their tacos over the burrito. The standout item for me, though, has to be the Pibil Chick Nachos. They're loaded and topped with this addictive green sauce that takes everything to the next level. I've tried a few of the sides like the Fenugreek Elotes and Mom's Beans, but I'd honestly suggest skipping those--they're okay, but the main dishes are where it's at. Overall, this place has become one of my absolute favorite taco spots. I'd be here way more often if it were closer. Definitely worth a visit if you're into bold, flavorful, creative food! read more

The food and customer service couldn't be any better. I've gone here a few times and the owner is always great, giving recommendations. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. 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

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 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

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

Delicious, satisfying food for quick takeout! I recently got a new job around the corner from this place and one of my peers recommended that I try it out. I am very glad I did as the burritos are something special. The flavors are very bold and the burritos are stuffed to the brim - definitely a great value. I come by whenever I decide to treat myself on my lunch break. The servers are also especially kind and I always feel welcome whenever I visit. Restaurant itself is a bit small but there are a few smaller tables inside as well as dining furniture on the patio. 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. I got 3 tacos: birria (they do birria right here), chicken (the one with more of an Indian twist), and cauliflower (my fave out of the 3!!!) I'll be back, this place is amazing. The vibes are so fun and cheerful and playful! read more

Last evening I ordered a Pibil Chick burrito thru Uber Eats at around 7:15 pm with about a 25 minute delivery estimate. After a half hour the app said it was being prepared. Shortly after that I noticed my driver was different from the original. After another 30 minutes, still preparing and lo and behold my driver had changed again. More time passed (about 8:15 pm - 8:30 pm now) and finally I could see on the app that the third driver was at the restaurant. A few minutes later I was notified without any explanation that my order was abruptly cancelled! I have know idea why it would take over an hour to make a chicken burrito (or not) and then just leave me hanging. read more

I've been curious about this place for a while, and I kick myself that I didn't go earlier. I had the tinga masala, and it was amazing. Just a flavor explosion with a light mango salsa. Big taco. The goat birria taco was so good it'll become a part of my regular order. A bit smaller. The chicken pibil was good, but outshined by the others. Also a big taco. Service was good for counter service. They were nice. It's cozy with a decent patio. It's near home, so I'll be back often. 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

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

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

Saucy Chick Indi-Mex Eatery - Steak Taco and Ginger Jamaica juice - Indian Near Me - Pasadena, California

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

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

ABSOLUTE MUST TRY!!!! This is easily one of the best places I've tried in Los Angeles! The tacos are amazing, every chicken they have are mind-blowing, the chaat-chos are a match made in heaven... I could rave about this for paragraphs, all I have to say really is, YOU GOTTA GO! read more

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

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

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
