    All meat
    John T.

    All meat burrito advertised 12.99 and asked for onions and cilantro. They charging 3.00 on top? The salsa is on point , but 17.55 for a burrito without a drink is not justified. Colleague had enchiladas and definitely can't vouch for recommendation.

    Cabeza (cheek meat) fries without beans

    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.

It's a bit tight, but having dedicated parking is still a huge plus. To Start: They kick off the meal with complimentary chips paired with three distinct salsas: a rich red salsa with a good kick, a bright salsa verde, and a fresh pico de gallo. Every single one was full of flavor. The Main Course: Veracruz Fish: Hands down the star of the night. The white fish was cooked to absolute perfection and paired seamlessly with sautéed vegetables, rice, and beans. A must-order, Chicken Enchiladas: Exceptionally flavorful with well-seasoned, juicy chicken. A special shoutout goes to the rice and beans--they easily hold their own as standalone stars on the plate. Chile Relleno: Well-prepared and tasty. While it wasn't my personal favorite of the night, it's a solid choice if you love traditional rellenos. Shrimp Cocktail: Generously portioned with plenty of fresh shrimp and avocado, though the sauce base wasn't quite to my personal taste. All in all, Maderos is a true gem delivering vibrant, authentic Mexican cuisine. We will definitely be back!

We had reservations and were seated promptly, and when an unexpected guest joined our party, the staff quickly and graciously accommodated us. The patio atmosphere was fantastic, with a beautiful blend of Mexican culture and Southern California flair. Live musicians moved from table to table taking requests and serenading guests. They were charming, talented, and added something genuinely special to the evening. Our waiter, Renee, was outstanding. He was patient while we waited for our final guest, attentive without rushing us, courteous, and full of great recommendations. He worked hard, always had a smile, and clearly takes pride in what he does. Exceptional service deserves recognition, and Renee absolutely earned it. I highly recommend the carnitas plate. The meat was tender and juicy, never greasy, with the perfect amount of crispness and bark. My personal test for Mexican cuisine is simple: get the beans and rice right first. Frida nailed both, and everything else followed suit. In Southern California, great Mexican food is everywhere, but Frida offers something beyond just a good meal. Quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, excellent hospitality, live music, beautiful decor, and genuine cultural character all come together to create a complete dining experience. It is a little pricier than a casual Mexican meal, but worth every penny. From the welcoming hosts and talented musicians to Renee's exceptional service, everyone contributed to a terrific evening for our family and guests. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. This is what good looks like. Highly recommended. We will absolutely be back.

I've been here before, and the birria tacos were exactly what I needed for a late-night craving. Crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling and strong flavor - they really hit the spot. 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. Overall, this is a no-frills taco spot where the focus is on the food. Easy choice when you're in the mood for tacos.

My wife ordered their chicken tortilla soup which has been a longtime favorite. The size of the bowl has diminished about 30% from what I remember but that's been a common theme the past few years in many places so oh well. We also ordered a side of chicken taquitos which came with a generous amount of sour cream and guacamole. The food was very good overall although the chunks of beef in my tamale were dry. I prefer chicken but unfortunately they were out. I should have asked for pork but didn't think about it till later. Our server was very helpful and just a sweet, thoughtful young lady.

I did enjoy the one fish taco that I ordered. Was huge portion but stacked so high that you could barely close the tortilla. This is the first time I bought a flour. Tortilla worked well for the taco. It was also bland but I was able to salvage it with some of their spicy salsa that I requested. Places are heavy on the alcohol and drink menu which likely is a draw. I actually really love the Paloma which was non-alcoholic. However, the food must meet the mark and today I am sad to say it missed on several points For my standards. I really did appreciate the staff who were all very helpful, super friendly and did their best to accommodate all of our asks. The location is nice right on the Redondo Beach strip with so many food options to choose from.
