tl;dr: super tacos indeed! Great meats all around; suadero stood out the most, and the alambre is excellent. Tacos from $1.75-2 depending on the meat.
Asada was just okay in my opinion. Pretty standard taste, has the right amount of saltiness, but didn't taste that beefy to me. Seems like cheap cuts of beef w/ average marinade. It was almost cooked like it was steamed (like too much meat on the grill at once). Maybe that's why it's last on their menu...
Loganiza is pretty great! It's interesting they don't call it 'chorizo' maybe because it seems different/exotic? Anyways, it looks just like chorizo and tastes like it too but also it's own thing. I had longaniza tacos before and they be different from this one. It does not have the typical chorizo taste from taco stands/trucks; definitely more spices/herbs in the mix. The taste almost reminds me of Indian food in a weirdly good way; complex taste with a hint of aromatics. It seems like they mix this themselves instead of buying for the meat store or market because I have eaten a lot of chorizos (yes I love sausage food) and I haven't had a flavor quite like this; would get it again.
Pastor comes with pineapple. I like their meat since it was leaner than usual pastors; there's definitely a less greasy mouth taste and it has a decent marinade. It's not overly salty, not that sweet, and provides enough flavors to be satisfying.
Tripas definitely has a great flavor (if not, one of the best I had around SGV), chewy/gamey for some people. I've eaten tripas at countless stands, and this is one is like chewing funny textures to extract bomb flavors. I can see why some people wouldn't like organ meat, but this is delicious. Maybe ask them to grill xtra if you'd like to dampen the chewy texture of your tripas.
Suadero is where it's all; packed with flavor and a bite. The seasoning is light so you taste all the beef flavor. The texture is above their asada; there's a nice bouncy and grilled bite taste to it. The fact that it is stewed meat grilled after stewing, makes it very tasty (yall gotta understand how underrated suadero is while there's a birria shop popping every block). I think this is their highlight meat for all the 7 I've tried. Maybe that's why it's first on the menu...
Cabeza is meaty and chopped in big chunks; really juicy and soft like it's tendon soup lol. Add a bit of salt to this and you'll realized stewed meat tacos are the shit. Would get again.
The alambre is delicious! So much meat and cheese (for $13), this is a meat-lover's delight for sure. A good amount of bell peppers, grilled onion, pineapple (I got the pastor), jamon (ham), bistec (steak), tocino (bacon), make it full of flavors. Yes, it was obviously a bit on the greasy and salty end (all that combination of meats), but it is addicting and filling. Le cheese goes so well with theese and it comes with 3 medium-sized flour tortillas. Honestly, this seems like a better value than 6-7 tacos (at same price) for the amount of meat and cheese they give! A definite shareable portion for two, but some dares.
Champurrado is delicious and perfect for those cold nights, eating in the parking lot. Definitely sets the mood for the simplicity of a late-night quick eats. It has a great balance of sweetness, thickness, chocolate, and cornflour taste :) It's basically hot corn cocoa imo. I'd much rather get this than horchata. Worth $3
Their light yellow-colored salsa spicy and has a great smokiness to it. It tastes complex but can dull at some point. I liked this but the spiciness might make you order an horchata.
Red-colored salsa is really good here. The smokiness and umami hitting your tongue will make you want more despite the spiciness.
Salsa verde is full of tomatillos flavor and has a nice little kick to it. Not a bad sauce if you like it a bit less spicy. Tastes decent enough to do its job.
These tacos are legit and I would find myself coming here. read more
