I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat.

I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo.

I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.

This spot was a great surprise. Truly. It is a small hole-in-the-wall at Moorpark & Colfax - on the northwest corner, in Studio City. I have had several items here: Breakfast Burrito - very tasty! And it's served all day long. I'm a big breakfast for dinner guy so I'm all over this. Hard Tacos, Soft Tacos, Flour Tacos I had Birria Burrito which was excellent. I also had Pastor Tacos - nothing wrong there! Well seasoned. Tender beef. The service was friendly. The counter person and the cooks all smiled at one point of another. They looked like they got along. The place is clean. And every time I stop by they are making an improvement for the customer. Parking will be tricky so checkout side streets because this place is worthy of a few blocks of walking. The salsas they offer are also really good! They are sippable!! I believe there are 6 flavors total. All distinct. All spicy and hot at differing levels. They offer a lot of beverages too. I believe there are two coolers filled with all kinds of beverages. When you stop by tell them Chef Will told you to say hello. This place should be crowded!! It's that good. read more

Um, nope, even though he insisted that he often takes family members and friends there for Mexican cuisine, which he claims leans towards Cal-Mex. LOL. However, we've been visiting Los Angeles for the past thirty years, we've eaten at places such as Guelaguetza, Guisados, ¡Lotería!, Salsa & Beer, Tacos Tumbras a Tomás, and various food stalls in DTLA's Grand Central Market. None of our previous experiences seemed to be what would be described as Cal-Mex b, but what WOULD I know since we're visitors from Hawai'i? Since it was a Sunday morning, just past 11 a.m., my BIL mentioned that we, the usual Sunday brunch crowd, hadn't come yet, so the parking lot was relatively empty. Also, he reminded us to bring our sunglasses because the restaurant's interior is dark, and when we exit, we'd be blinded by the sunshine. Upon entry, the hostess greeted my BIL with cheery familiarity since he and his friends often come here, as he said. The interior was festively decorated with Christmas ornaments and festooned with Mexican paper streamers. All of the servers wore "wild" yet tasteful Christmas sweaters or vests. The dining room and bar area seemed small in comparison to the building's exterior until the server proudly offered to show me around to their additional dining rooms, outdoor patio, and stage for Mexican music performances. The server brought us a basket of freshly fried, airy tortilla chips and two ramekins of salsa (spicy and mild), which we munched on while sipping Micheladas and waiting for our meals. I thought my palate had become more chili pepper spice-tolerant, but that spicy salsa brought me to tears. Then the jovial server brought the onslaught of food. FOOD: -Lunch Special #2 Cheese Enchiladas Rancheras: two cheese enchiladas smothered in Ernie's ranchera sauce, topped with diced tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream, and served with refried beans and Mexican rice. My BIL said the Mexican food was more Baja-style/Cal-Mex than Oaxacan-style, which we're used to. The ranchera salsa was smooth, tomatoey, sweet, and chili-forward. I liked that the serving portion wasn't "groaning board-like" and I left content. $15.95 -Lunch Special #6 Taquitos: two deep-fried tortillas, rolled and stuffed with shredded beef (choice of chicken or beef), served with guacamole and sour cream. Served with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice. Again, compared to other Mexican restaurants we've eaten at, the portion was not overwhelming. My husband and I swapped a taquito from his plate with a cheese enchilada from mine. The taquito was perfectly deep-fried, and the shredded beef filling was flavorful and tender. $15.95 We'd return for the ambiance, service, flavors, and value whenever we're in the area again.

When EVERYONE loves something; I tend to scoff. I am this way with most forms of art, places and even food. I simply question trends and prefer to rely on my own opinion. So, when fellow Yelper and dining partner Michael B. suggested we try North Hollywood's Birrieria Familia Castro (only minutes from my apartment!) which received the coveted #1 position on Yelp's Top 100 Taco Spots list - I was hesitant. I wanted to hate it. But there is no way to hate Birrieria Familia Castro because they deserve their title. Let's explore... Birrieria Familia Castro is located near the Oxnard/Vineland intersection close to the Noho Arts District in a teeny tiny strip plaza next to a smoke shop across the street from a tire shop. Being the literal definition of 'hole in the wall'; don't let this environment detour you from dining at Birrieria Familia Castro because it is these hidden gems that are often the best (and obviously in this case). Birrieria Familia Castro is a family-owned eatery that is the baby of Anthony Castro and his parents opening the venture in 2022 and focusing on homemade recipes passed-down generations of their family tree focusing on layers of flavor and hours of marinading and simmering. Anthony begins his day with a prayer and takes nothing for granted with each patron who walks in the door. Those who Anthony welcomes will find a tiny dining space in terms of square footage and super-hot in temperature (their AC isn't the most consistent so they need to open the door as the day-long cooking heats the space); but it is clean and cozy enough. The menu at Birrieria Familia Castro is rather simple focusing on what they are good at: breakfast, tacos, various birrias (quesatacos, vampiros, mulitas, dorados) and some a la carte plates. I personally enjoyed the smaller menu as I tend to get overwhelmed with too many choices. For my dinner, I chose two Quesatacos (crispy corn tortillas filled with meat, mozzarella, onions and cilantro - $5.25 each choosing one birria and one asada) while my dining partner chose two Birria Vampiros (toasted corn tortilla with meat in between burned cheese on top, onion and cilantro served with beans and rice - $13. 49) plus, Birrieria Familia Castro's famous birria consommé. Our dishes arrived rather quickly and were served on gorgeous, culturally-authentic clay plates that I thought were a lovely touch. My desire to go against the popular fan-favorites is out the door because Birrieria Familia Castro is sooooooo goooodddd! My quesatacos were fantastic: perfect texture tortillas made by spreading the consommé fat on the tacos because throwing them on a hot griddle with tender, amazingly-flavored long-simmered meat. Even the little picked onions were marvelous. The birria consommé was to die for: an orchestra of harmonious flavor with chunks of meat swimming in the broth: I could consume a bucket of this! Yelper Michael B.'s Birria Vampiros were, by his account, delicious and "a win": hard shell with burned cheese that was a perfect combination with the pickled onions and tableside salsas and birria consommé. Micheal even mixed some of the consommé with the rice and beans which was "an extra treat". If the amazing food wasn't enough; we had a pleasant chat with the main man Anthony, himself. Anthony is hyper-focused on not only offering delicious food; but genuinely caring about his customers and how he can improve. Anthony reads all Yelp reviews to see any areas that need finessing and cares about small details of his business: remember those clay plates I am obsessed with? Anthony curates those from an artist in Mexico and he even orders plates with dividers for those who don't like ingredients touching on their plate. It is this concern and attention to detail that helped land Birrieria Familia Castro as Yelp's #1 in the nation. Although limited in hours (closed Mondays, some days closing as early as 5pm due to overhead costs and competition); Birrieria Familia Castro is highly recommended. Top-tier food, customer service and priced well - truly deserving. Don't be stubborn like me and find out why Birrieria Familia Castro is #1

I called back to tell them and they were rude and just lied saying they put the extra meat. I come here pretty often lately, good way to loose a customer on $3. Bad service and decent food at best.

It came with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and even a jalapeno tucked in between. It tasted homemade, which is the best part. It had its own unique taste that I have yet to taste anywhere else. I topped it off with some of their delicious green house salsa and some horchata, which was okay but still good. The torta, though, was the main attraction. It was a great price too, for about $11. They have seats and a salsa bar, and their prices are overall good! They even serve wings that I need to try next time around. This place is just missing the foot traffic. Hopefully it comes because they deserve it! 10/10
