Hmm.. Los Paisas only a couple blocks away is better. As for taco king comparison... both aren't great in my opinion. My favorite? Taco Del Rio in City of Industry. Best place by far and their all meat burrito, HUGE. Oh yeah, service was pretty bad. read more

The carne asada tacos here are amazing but the carne asada fries were disappointing. The fries were frozen and they added too many mushy components on the fries. The restaurant was also not the cleanest but the food was amazing. read more

I'm only a fan because of their carne asada. Good carne asada tacos and burrito. It's 24 hours, wonderful. The parking lot is a bit shady so I usually park in the front. This place is great for their carne asada, but the tables and floor is a bit dirty and just ehhh. I usually have to clean the tables and seats with napkin if I decide to dine here. I just wish they cleaned up this place a bit more. read more

Carne asada tacos are the best in the area in my opinion. Tortas are good, carne asada burrito good. Chile bar with red or green sauce and limes, radishes. Green is mild, red is hot. People who state this place is filthy are full of it. Place is clean as any fast food restaurant. Reasonably priced. Last time I was there carne asada tacos were $1.19 and worth it. They sell beer by the bottle. Place is comfortable enough to eat in or fast enough service to order and go. read more

While the ambiance isn't over-the-top, it's clean, comfortable, and inviting definitely grab a table on the patio if you can. Parking: They have a dedicated lot on-site. 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.

They used to let you pick from more choices years ago but free is free right? I chose the number 4 which is a tamale with beans and rice. 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. The gentleman bussing tables was also friendly and considerate. Prices have definitely gone up but those are the times in which we live. There is street parking and an underground parking garage a short distance away. There are quite a few restaurants in the area so parking can be a little challenging.

Instead the broth was super bland, meatballs were flavorless and too firm to cut with the. Had lots of veggies which was a plus if you like sweet with veggies which I do. I just wish they were also tender, swimming and good broth. Most restaurant serve fresh chips and salsa which they did. Complimentary chips were hard. This also was too heavy on oregano. Ordered some guacamole but had to ounce for them to cook fresh tosadas so we could eat with the guac instead of the hard chips. $14 wasn't too bad for the price and the portion. 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.

I hate to give any restaurant a bad rating, but this place was the worst Mexican food I have ever had in Southern California. We waited in line of four people for 10 plus minutes, which seemed slow since the guy taking orders could have just been taking orders since there were like 5+ people working the restaurant. Other places run the whole place with less than 2-3 workers. We ordered four street tacos, a beef hard shell taco, and chilaquiles con huevos. The hard shell taco meat was more than cold it was refrigerator cold to the touch. The street tacos were far from the Subway standard of care as they were thrown together. The two shells on each taco were not on top of each other, the salsa was on two tacos and the meat was not all of what I asked for at all. We had these first as the chilaquiles came out about 10 minutes later. These were "hot and ready" but not good. Having had them in San Diego and Tijuana they were far from anything authentic. The eggs were cooked on a very sorry grill as they looked black from the soot of the griddle. They were over easy not over medium and eggs are easy to tell when they called correctly. They did have a rush, but any good place should be able to handle a rush and not compromise the food. We had to just return the food, take the list $22.36 loss and move on. We would have complained, but when we returned the food there was a line of 8 or more and the people bedding the bar were confused when we said "your food Yates like crap" and continued taking orders. Hopefully you reinvest the $22 in better cooks or management. read more

Taco sinaloa... where have you been all my life??? I found this place by searching tacos on yelp. I'm used to going to taco bell and ordering Mexican pizzas and supreme tacos and I was looking for something to mix it up. Here it is right heeeeeere!! This place is in the hood of torrance (corner of western and carson) and it shares parking with some other store next to it. It has a big yellow sign that says taco sinaloa #3 that's hard to miss. When I walked in there was some blaring Mexican music... like banjos and trumpets to the max!! I was blown away by the music and blown away by the fact that there were so many Asians in this joint lol!! Not that there's anything wrong with Asians but I was expecting more hispanics. I waited in line and got some epic carne asada fries and pork tacos.. man they are to die for. I am definitely coming back and maybe I'll eat outside bc the music is too damn loud. read more

I said what the heck il give it a shot. I go there on my lunch break from work order an asada torta. Long story short I only ate half the torta just because I was starving, the other half went to the trash.. well atleast the top of the trash counter were the trays go due to the trash can being Over full!.. This place is seriously dirty!!. Im not the type of person who writes reviews im only doing it because It really did get me sick.

This is the worst Mexican restaurant I ate PERIOD ! This was my second time visiting this restaurant. My first visit was over 2 years ago and it was really bad as well. So I decided to give it a second chance and that was a bad idea. I ordered the Chilaquiles Rojos with egg and steak. The Chilaquiles were nasty with a flavorless red sauce. The steak had no flavor either along with the rice and beans. The only thing that tasted good was the eggs. I ordered a large Horchata and when I took a sip it tasted like someone had pored pinesol and a chili pepper in the drink. The service is bad as well. Like the cashier is forced to be there with a grumpy look. If you really give this restaurant a 5 star it's because you either work there or you don't know Mexican Food. read more

The sauce, the tacos are the best!! I tried the burritos here but the tacos always seem to satisfy me. Since it's such a busy restaurant the wait can be pretty long and most of the time that's normal for this place. They do have a lot of workers in the back working hard but just wish there was another cash register since they are pretty busy. Tip* Ask for the sauce container while waiting to pick up your food. Cause the place is so busy and the wait is so long, you can save some time while waiting getting you condiments and sauces ready so when your food is ready to pick up, you'll be good to go. read more

I have been coming here for 12 years, especially back in the day when needed a 3 am snack. I used to only get the asada and cabeza, but lately I have been hooked on the fish ceviche. So everytime I go there, I have to get an asad burrito with everything, cabeza tacos, and a ceviche. Getting expensive for a hole in the wall, but I am hooked on all three items and can't imagine going there and only ordering one but not the other. The red hot sauce is the main reason I go there. Plenty of flavor and plenty of heat. 5 stars all the way!!! I love love love this place. read more

Usually order their quesadilla and "camarones a la diabla". It is a such a good combination. Quesadilla melts in your mouth camarones a la diabla will bring your the right level of spiciness. Their horchata and tiramisu it is also pretty delicious as well. They are usually pretty busy so expect to wait a little bit in order for you to get your food. Their service is not best; however, it is just a taqueria so people shouldn't even expect much service. read more

The fact that their always open is so convenient for last minute dates, munchies after a night of drinking, and just good food in general. This is not your ordinary 5 star restaurant.

Alfredo's Mexican Food

Located a few blocks from Harbor UCLA hospital, Alfredo's is a decent place to grab a quick meal…read more I stop by from time to time for some comfort food but I don't make a special trip. Most dishes are on the greasy side as typical of a hole in the wall place; the seasoning/flavoring has also declined slightly over the years. With that said, I will still return but will consider other options first. Customer service is great.

Just sitting down to some flavorful, homemade Albondigas Soup! It's delicious!!! Treat yourself.read more

i really like this spot. its a hole in the wall, good mexican food, homemade tortillas. the last…read moretime i was here i tried a green wet burrito de chicharrón. 10/10. flavorful, delicious. i saw that they were making fresh tortillas behind the counter so i knew that i would try their tacos next time. today i got three tacos - carnitas, asada, and birria. their pork is so good and fresh. the carnitas was bomb, asada was too, and the birria kind of lacked salt in my opinion but the base flavors were there. their habanero crema was yummy and the red and green salsas paired nicely with everything. i got an agua de tamarindo to wash it all down but the agua kind of tasted fermented and it freaked me out because i haven't had alcohol in 2 years. i thought about just taking the L and throwing the agua away but i i had spent $5.50 on that agua plus i tipped them $2. i ended up letting the worker know, she tried it and said it was fine. i was bummed and felt gaslit so i just went back to my seat with no bev. oh well. i didn't make a big fuss about it because their food is actually good and i would love to keep coming back especially since i work up the street. i finished up my last taco and the lady surprised me with an horchata. i apologized profusely and told her i was embarrassed to even bring back the tamarindo and i thanked her for exchanging it.

We also ordered the Earthquake Fries; it was loaded with crispy seasoned fries and Shrimp so so scrumptious. Even the Churros were very tasty. For being so non assuming and odd location all items ordered were exceptionally DELICIOUS. I'm not able to give this place 10 stars if not I would!! Definitely will be back soon for seconds!!!

This place is the real deal right in our own backyard. Never knew it even existed until I saw it on…read moresomeone's IG reel. At first we entered the carniceria (will be back to buy some meat to cook next time!) and were instructed to go around the back to order hot food. We got the birria taco plate which was delicious and came with extra sauce, as well as a birria burrito (haven't tried it yet but it was a good size) and chips and salsa. The salsas are spicy but great! They have a cute set up with picnic tables and lots of parking in the back.

La Gordita is a small restaurant with a few tables for dining in or take out…read more An older gentleman and his sweet wife prepare, cook and serve absolutely delicious Mexican food that is ALWAYS fresh and flavorful. The meat is always moist and tender. The tortillas are grilled to perfection with crispy edges. The gentleman is always friendly, polite and happy to serve you. The portions are generous and prepared with care and the prices are definitely reasonable. My family and I enjoy visiting La Gordita often ( and you should too) !

The good: We got the deluxe chicken burrito and deluxe carne…read moreasada burrito. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The plaza is small but had enough parking. The burritos were around $13 each and I shared one with my mom. I liked that it had sour cream in it. I saw tortilla chips being freshly fried. The burrito came with a small side of chips with salsa. The bad: It's cash only. The burrito was a bit too wet inside. I would've liked for the texture to be less mushy.I would've liked more crunch from more lettuce, tomato or raw onion perhaps. My husband wanted twice the amount of meat. The interesting: For drinks they have jamaica and horchata. The interior feels like a blast to the past. It's simple, bright and has carpeted floor. The worker there was friendly.

At least the service was great. Bought a carne asada burrito for $16.50, it fell apart mid-burrito…read moreand I have to eat it with a fork, also the meat tastes so bland that I have to literally salt every individual bite. Sorry mama's, I won't be returning, please borrow some spice from next door. The burrito tasted so bland even after salting up the bowl it turned into, I had to throw it away. It's a shame because I literally live 2 blocks away from you and I will advise every friend and neighbor to stay away from mama's tacos. I hope my money was worth it and your business shuts down soon. All the 5 star reviews are paid for, I am local and real.

Got nachos and taco meat didn't hardly have any flavor chips were stale taco was very disappointing…read moremaybe they had an off day but paid $35 for two tacos and nachos majority is stale and had no flavor underwhelming.

So I go inside and I'm glad I did I got a chicken wet burrito and said it would be 10 minutes, and I was surprised at 3 in the afternoon and it was only 1 couple inside eating the lady that took my order was very nice and polite . 10 minutes later I got my order and was headed home when I got home and started to eat this burrito was HUGE so huge I ate it thru out the day and night, and it was tasty I will be returning if I had 1 complaint it would not be about the food but the parking, the lot is so small I had to go in and out twice to find parking but the food more than makes up for the parking.

I felt kind of guilty knowing that based on the price, there can't be much of a profit margin, but she still made me the special with a smile and enthusiasm. Honestly, it made me feel like one of my friend's moms was cooking for me when I was a kid. I dug through my wallet looking for cash but only had a 10. Of course she adamantly refused to take it and almost chased me to try to get me to take the change. I didn't. I actually wanted to leave her a 20. She's got a customer for life. Tip: the sushi spot next door has a really good omakase deal Trivia bit: the movie Friday After Next was filmed almost entirely in this shopping plaza.

Closed, don't even bother going. They have hours saying they're open, I stop by, doors are locked,…read morethough someone is in there. Are you not open on Sundays at 11am?

Extremely disappointed when trying to place an order, she couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear her…read more But hey things happen right! I ordered the California chicken sandwich along with fries with no salt in a separate bag and every time I said fries in a separate bag, she said no the chicken is already marinated and I said no I would like my fries in a separate bag as I'm driving back now just trying to get a little taste from running errands all day. The fries are extremely soggy full of grease. No crisp to them whatsoever very disappointed once again this place comes highly recommended. Sorry have to change my review. I won't be coming back. I will say the young lady in the window was very kind, and when I informed her about the fries, she immediately got a bag for me, and then I noticed the individual who took my order lean back to see who asked for another bag for their fries, mind you I said it multiple times in the beginning, but it's all good. I understand things happen however soggy fries. No thank you state of Gaffney Street.

Been wanting to try out this burger spot for a while so since it's Friday and I've had a great day…read moreso far I decided why not try them out today. The moment I pulled into the driveway I can smell the good stuff being made. I decided to order the bacon avocado burger with some chili cheese fries. OMG!!!! My burger was absolutely delicious. My cheese fries were also soo freaking bomb!!!!! This may be my favorite burger spot now in Torrance. They have a big menu as well. Breakfast-Lunch & dinner. I will definitely be coming back with my family. You can't go wrong For $20 bucks. I highly recommend this spot if you don't want to wait in those long In n Out lines.

Wonder Woman's restaurant!…read more Food here is okay. It's one of the best in Carson. The only bad things I'd say is that there was this one day where there was a worm inside of one of the desserts. Also, sometimes, it smells bad in there. But the smell isn't a big deal, because the food is great. And everyone inside is nice. Thanks, Diana's, even though I prefer Awkwafina. Henry Cavill said choose my mate carefully. His first name is my middle name. No one thinks about their middle name! But thanks, Diana's. The burritos here are good. The chips are crispy. There are a wide variety of options to choose from. Lots of desserts. And the restaurant is neatly designed. Stay around. Carson needs this location.
