    Cabeza (cheek meat) fries without beans
    Crystal B.

    This has been to my GO TO Mexican food place since back in the early 2000's. It's nostalgic to come here and honestly their food is still good. But I do feel like a lot of things changed. - Service is a lot slower - less staff - salsa and sides need to be requested and no longer available to self serve - it's becoming a more to go / pick up spot rather than dining in Ordered - combination burrito taco - combination quesadilla taco - carne asada fries There food is good. Just sad how much has changed from the old days and how long it takes to order and receive the food. But most likely I'll still return as long as they stay in business

    Bean & cheese burrito mojado!!! Now this is wet & cheeeeesy!!!!!!

    Back for soup on a Sunday! Got the Caldo 7 Mares this time. Great broth! Lots of different seafood (octopus, crab,fish, shrimp, mussel, clam) plus veggies galore. Delish and would get it again!

    Carne Asada Dorado Taco
    Eddie D.

    It had been ages since my last visit to this spot. Passing by, I couldn't resist stopping for the carne asada dorado tacos and some extra crispy tripas tacos. Not the best quality but paired with their spicy red salsa, they were quite enjoyable!

    Been coming here for YEARS, and order the same thing. Literally the best "Camarones a la Diabla". You order your food and leave, or eat there lol This is not a fancy smancy restaurant, so don't be judgmental, it's literally that "hole in the wall" spot that's delicious. Employees just trying to keep the line moving, they're not being rude lol and not trying to be your friend either haha :D

    Burrito Mojado (al Pastor)
    Mark M.

    Taco Sinaloa (aka Taco Sinaloa #3, or Sinaloa Mexican Food) has the typical Mexican fare. Tacos are the main calling here, which are pretty good. Good quality, meats, onions, cilantro, hot sauce, and double corn tortillas. If you want more hot sauce, you can ask for some at the counter. The burritos are filling and another good choice, both the dry and wet choices. Be sure to request some extra hot sauce. Other items I've had, were more on the average side. Specifically, the Camarones a la Diabla which could have done with a lot more heat, and the Caldo de Res which was a chunky beef and vegetable soup but simplistic in taste. The restaurant is a getting on the old side. At most of my recent trips there was a homeless man who would open the door when you enter or exit, but he never asked for any money and didn't cause any problems. The sign out front says they're open 24 hours a day, but it's my understanding that is not case, with them closing at 9:00 or 10:00pm. NOTE: This restaurant is not physically in the City of Torrance. It is in an area of Los Angeles that has it's mail delivered by the Torrance post office, hence the Torrance mailing address.

    Carne Asada fries...$15.40 for this.  Barely any toppings, hardly any guac or meat.

    Carne Asada fries...$15.40 for this. Barely any toppings, hardly any guac or meat and missing sour cream. No one else in line but took 12 mins. Meat was good though. Fries were fresh, though the skinny fries are better for carne asada super fries.

    We ate at Maderos yesterday and I honestly can't stop thinking about the food! It's in such a cute…read morespot right on PCH in Redondo Beach, which already makes it a great place to stop, but the food completely exceeded our expectations. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the carne asada and carnitas, and both were amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and not fatty at all just perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. My daughter had the bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans and loved it too. They bring out three different salsas with the chips, and each one had its own unique flavor. You can tell the chips are house-made because they're fresh, crisp, and just really good. Some Mexican restaurants can make things overly salty, but everything here tasted balanced and fresh. I also had a Paloma and it was made perfectly. Before we left we decided to try the churros and I'm so glad we did. They were filled with this amazing cream and came with a caramel sauce for dipping. I'm not usually a big dessert person, but these were seriously incredible. Great location, great service, amazing food, and everything tasted fresh and well made. We will definitely be back!

    I don't usually write reviews like this because I'd consider myself someone with a lot of patience…read more But my partner and I came to Maderos tonight after looking around Yelp and seeing how many great reviews it had. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and decided to sit outside, which felt perfect for a Sunday evening. We each ordered Orden De Tacos -- which is two tacos with rice and beans -- which seems simple enough. But after a while, we started noticing that people who arrived after us were ordering, getting their food, eating, paying, and leaving while we were still waiting. Again, all we had ordered was four tacos total, plus rice and beans. About 50 minutes after we placed our order, I finally got up to ask our waiter if he could check on our food because it had been such a long wait. If they were too busy (there were a lot of people, but not absurdly so), that's where communication could have gone a long way. Even just stopping by to acknowledge the delay or apologize for the wait would have made the experience feel very different. In the end, it took nearly an hour to get our four tacos from the time we ordered it, and the wait wasn't mentioned by staff at all. The food was okay in the end, but the experience definitely left us disappointed.

    I visited Frida at Del Amo Mall for a birthday celebration. We were seated at a round table with…read moreplenty of space between us, which made for a comfortable setup. I've been to other Frida locations, such as the one in Glendale, and the food here is decent. Think of it as a slightly pricier, upscale El Torito. The guac is served in a clay pot, though they don't make it tableside like El Torito does. Overall, the food is okay, though not particularly memorable - I probably wouldn't come this location again, given the many Mexican restaurants nearby. That said, it's a fun place for celebrations (beside some safety concerns, keep reading); they do offer a free slice of cake with a candle that shoots fireworks, which is a nice touch for birthdays. The main issue for me, and the reason I cannot give a higher rating, was the customer service and safety. While we were comfortably seated, a server accidentally burned my fingers while carrying a hot plate of sizzling fajitas. I understand serving hot dishes can be challenging, but he was carrying one plate in each hand, and one of them was a cast-iron sizzling plate with hot oil. The oil splashed on my hand, causing a burn that immediately turned my skin pink. What concerned me most was how the situation was handled. I had to track down the floor manager to report the incident, and the response was not proactive or apologetic. The manager even made a sarcastic comment about whether he should call an ambulance. This left me feeling that proper training on handling hot plates and customer service may be lacking. As I mentioned, it is a competitive market and neighborhood for good Mexican restaurants, and given their poor quality in service and safety, you can be sure I will never return to eat here. I share this not to be harsh, but as constructive feedback. The food itself is fine, and the setting works for celebrations, but safety and respectful, professional service should come first, especially in a busy restaurant environment.

I ended up having four of them. The consomé on the side was really good too - rich and flavorful, almost something I could've just had on its own. The street tacos were solid. The carnitas had that tender, slightly crisp texture, and the al pastor added a bit more seasoning and contrast. Nothing overcomplicated, just straightforward and satisfying. Service was friendly, and the setup is quick and casual. In the South Bay where places tend to close early, it was nice that they were open until around 10pm.

They told us we could sit anywhere. It has a modern feel, plus lots of TVs, so maybe also a sports bar-vibe? They had the Olympics on, so I'm not complaining.

We ordered a few tacos off the happy hour menu: fish taco, fried shrimp taco, chicken mole, and asada. Did not expect them to be as big as they were! Between two of us, we were stuffed from 4 tacos and could barely finish them. I really liked the chicken mole. I thought that the addition of the slivered almonds, pepitas and radishes was a delicious touch that really enhanced the texture with a bit of crunch. However, I got the scooner of Max's marg and thought that it was sorta of weak. Couldn't taste much tequila.
