My new favorite Mexican restaurant! First, it's not just tacos, although there are many taco…read moreoptions. I had the Texas-style fajitas, and they were great. So many Mexican restaurants that offer fajitas don't season or cook them properly, use inferior meat, or overcook the meat while undercooking the vegetables. I found the rice a bit dry and have had better Mexican-style rice at other places, but I don't always eat it, so that did not bother me too much. The decore is LA street art with murals, stylized tagging, and graffiti-style artwork. Even the restrooms are decorated.

I really want to like this place as it's my besties go to spot but in the 2 times we've been here…read moresince moving here less than 3 weeks ago, they have gotten her meal wrong both times. Both times. I ordered chimichangas at both visits & have yet to be impressed. The last time (just yesterday) the beans tasted odd & were not eaten. We had the same server as the 1st time & both times she was slow in every way. Slow to take our drink orders, slow to get us refills & so slow to get us our check that we had to go searching for someone, anyone, to actually acknowledge that we were trying to leave. There were several servers just hanging out, giggling and pretty much ignoring us. One meal was Sunday before 5pm & yesterday's dinner was before 4pm & there were only 2 other tables of diners. My friend refuses to return food so she just ate what she was given and my leftovers will just go in the garbage. Despite Mexican being her and my husband's favorite food, we'll have to leave the 'lands to find it elsewhere as yesterday's visit was the last for me. PS, I know flies are an issue with alot of restaurants but there seems to be an abundance of them here.

My wife and I were driving through this town when we saw a Taco Shop that my wife wanted to try. We…read moresat down and ordered some tacos and a side of rice. Just as my wife was about to eat the last bit of rice, she noticed a white piece that we initially thought was overcooked rice. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was a maggot. This made us both feel sick to our stomachs, and we felt like throwing up. We had already put some of the rice into our tacos. We informed the lady at the counter, but she didn't seem surprised or apologize; she just told us we didn't have to pay for the meal. When we stepped outside, my wife's stomach was upset, and she felt like throwing up, as did I. After getting some air for about five minutes, I decided to go back inside to take pictures. I informed the two ladies inside that I was going to take pictures, but one of the ladies, who hadn't been there initially, told the other lady in Spanish to take the plate away and not let me take a picture. We have never been in a situation where we might have eaten maggots. We will be going to the hospital to get checked

One thing that really caught my attention was seeing an El Chamorro plate on the menu. As a Chamorro, (that's my nationality) so I thought it was pretty cool to see the name represented. (Although lamb isn't traditionally part of Chamorro cuisine.) Overall, definitely a place I'd recommend!

Today, I had Corn tortillas with chicken, extra onions, cilantro and some refried beans. (The…read morerefried beans basically to keep my protein meal from leaving the tortillas. when I am biting into my tortillas ) you know how it is. It will be in my lap. If I don't make the time and call in my order, I am literally starving. So tacos are my go to food. This restaurant has the down to earth vibe... you feel like you am at home with your family. I come here almost everyday to get my tacos . Come over and try their food... if you haven't been here before...you are missing out big time.

They have a dedicated fryer for their chips which is perfect if you have a gluten allergy. They can make all of their tacos with corn and flour tortillas. I ordered the blackened mahi taco which was a daily special with cabbage and pickled onions. I also ordered the tuna taco with bacon, cabbage, tomato and chipotle mayo. My favorite taco was the veggie taco which had a great mix of coconut rice, black beans, peppers, corn and cilantro lime cream. My kids had the beef taco with cheese and they loved it. The kids meal comes with chips and salsa. The staff was helpful and nice. The food came out pretty quickly for being really busy. I would highly recommend coming here for tacos especially right off the beach.

Man, I hate to give less than 5 stars, but this place has gone downhill over the last 8 years we've…read morecome here. It's so sad. This used to be our favorite, and let me tell you why it no longer is... First, and worst, the customer service. They couldn't make any exchange for the spicy salsa that comes with the kids meal, so basically I'm paying $7 for a tortilla with melted cheese. Additionally, my kid was taking our plates up the steps and fell, getting salsa all over his arm. As he sat there picking up everything, two workers walked by him and ignored him. Didn't ask if he was okay or offer to help. I guess that's what happens when you hire kids that don't care about anything. They all seemed unhappy and I encountered 5 different people and zero smiles. Secondly, the food and prices. I get that everything has gone up in price, but don't go up in price and down in quality, skimping on things that used to be free and plentiful. I just don't want to pay more for less. Lastly, we caught management in a lie and that's just not okay. You gave my husband an excuse for something and me a totally different one. Don't make up stuff to force your ridiculous policies. Bottom line, the food is pretty good, we've been here more times than I can count, but next time remember that customer service goes a long way and you could have just made right an issue that cost you pennies instead of reading this review.

Ya GOTTA try one -- it's an AMAZING treat!…read more It's true -- it's a meal to be eaten within the hour: the shell is super crispy and has excellent flavor ... if you let it cool off for later, it's still great, but a very different experience. I like to add cold sour cream, regular Pace salsa & some green olive juice from home -- the store doesn't keep these onhand & that's ok. AND gotta have one of the authentic Tamarind drinks! They also have an amazing selection of legit chips If the SECRET of the Roasted Pork ever gets out -- it's so amazing, it might hafta be regulated!
