But the last two times, I've been getting some other kind of meat or a tiny tiny amount of asada meat mixed with the other meats (they have cheek, lips, and head meat) which I don't prefer. The "asada" tacos not only taste completely different, the texture is different, and it looks like shredded stewy meat. It's also somehow drier and less juicy. I also saw the cook chopping up the flap steaks before I ordered it and that was not what I got. I thought the last time was a mix-up but now I think they thought I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. 5 stars for the real asada and Jamaica drink 3 stars for whatever I got the last 2 times

I wish I knew his name, but there's a guy there (shorter height and clean haircut) who gives some of the best customer service I've experienced. Super friendly, accommodating, and genuinely wants to make sure you get exactly what you're craving. One thing to note--there's a menu, but no pictures or brochures, so you kind of have to know what you want or ask. Luckily, he's more than happy to walk you through options. Nachos - Exactly how I remember nachos should be. The chips are those pre-made round ones (like Tostitos Rounds), but still crunchy and satisfying. The meats taste freshly cooked, with a nice sprinkle of veggies. And the best part--they use that classic nacho cheese and sour cream combo. The kind of cheese you'd get at 7-Eleven or a Dodgers game. Not the healthiest, but sometimes I want what I want. Tacos - Simple and classic. You really can't go wrong here. I've tried different meats and they've all been solid. Wet Burritos - Great balance of rice, beans, meat, and veggies. I've had the chicken, carne asada, and al pastor--all delicious. It also comes with a side of lettuce and sliced avocado, which is a nice touch. Side Bar - Fresh radishes, pickled jalapeños, lime, and lemon. Everything tastes fresh and adds a lot to the meal. What really stands out is how flexible they are with orders. I asked for nacho cheese on the side so my chips wouldn't get soggy--no problem. Extra salsa? As much as you want. Not sure if you want red or green salsa on your wet burrito? Get both on the side. They make it easy to customize exactly how you like it. Overall, great food, but even better service. This is the kind of spot that I don't want to review so I can keep it for myself.

I parked in the back with plenty of shade and there's plenty of parking in the adjacent plaza but quite a walk to the restaurant entrance. The place is pretty hot, I thought the AC was on but it was warm. Didn't feel so good eating inside during the hot summer day. But they have plenty of seating area, just wish it wasn't so warm inside. The menu was vast and they even serve sushi, after reading the reviews I decided to avoid seafood here. Even with the reviews I don't usually order seafood anyways so I ordered my favorite dishes which I usually would get such as the birria plate and carne asada fries (not spicy). I also ordered a kids meal of chicken nuggets and fries with a small Diet Coke. Unfortunately no refills allowed, so good thing I also ordered a large Diet Coke just in case. The food was ready fairly timely, the kids meal gas 8 nuggets and plenty of fries. My kid loves eating it with a ton of ketchup which each table has an assortment of hot sauce bottles and a bottle of ketchup. The carbs asada fries came in a round plastic plate, it's smaller than what other places serve but it could be because it's a dine in order and not in the take out box. The fries were chunky ones and the beans made it soggy fast. The carne asada were small, a little chewy and hard. The cheese was white so I couldn't tell the difference between it and sour cream, so it looked like you didn't get any cheese but it's there! The birria plate was on a reusable plate and side of warmed corn tortillas, with rice and beans. Rice is ok, a bit hard but still good. Beans were a bit too watery but not bad on flavor. Birria was ok as well, not spicy but tastes good with the pickled onions from the self serve counter. I ate the plate of food with lots of the pickled onions. Restroom is for customers only, you need to ask for the key and they have two unisex restrooms. Overall, I don't think I'll come back. It's just too uncomfortable to eat inside and it's not that different from the other places I can get my favorite dishes.

Burrito was huge! Toasted nicely with a good amount of chicken and a lot of rice but it was delicious. Would definitely get it again but I'd try a different protein. Arrachera taco was definitely a special treat! The blue corn tortilla held perfectly and the meat had just the right texture. I wouldn't get this all the time as it's pricey, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself. Mango Fresca was right up my alley. It's not too sweet with a little pulp, I'd definitely get this again. Would definitely recommend, I'll be coming back.

When I came during a week night, place wasn't busy and it was really chill. When I walked in, I was greeted and helped right away by some friendly people. I think this place came on my radar because of the Eater LA list. So the recommendation was the gringa. I ordered an extra taco on the side because I wanted to try the al pastor in taco form. Honestly, I could've just had the gringa and it would've plenty. It's like a large mulita and when you order the al pastor, it also comes with chunks of pineapple. I topped my food with their delicious salsas and went to town. This place is great. Such a good value and really delicious food. Because the area wasn't busy at the time, there was plenty of street parking.
