    Way too much beans not enough meat. Was like eating a bean nacho. Didn't know I went to Taco Bell.

    Fantastic food and service! The food was flavorful and the meat was juicy. The only downside is…read morelimited English. We requested chili sauce, but they fried a chili instead, lol. Experience was good nonetheless, and the owners even gave us a cup of free Horchata to try. Will definitely be revisiting!

    Tacos Del Chino is one of those local spots you keep coming back to--not just for the food, but for…read morethe accommodating service. 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.

    Really enjoyed the tacos here! They have four choices of meat, Asada (grilled flap meat), Cabeza…read more(head), Cachete (cheek), and Labin (lip). I went with 4 Asada tacos, and they were great! The meat was flavorful, and the Al Vapor taco tortillas were super soft and tender, which made the tacos even better. The service was also great, staff were friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was nice and relaxed, making it a great spot to stop by and enjoy some tacos. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other meat options!

    I've been here 5 or more times already because I really loved the Asada. It was delicious, smoky,…read moreand looked like chopped pieces of flap steak. It was so good. 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

    So don't let the price scare you off these are one of the best tasting dishes I've tried in a long…read moretime. So much flavor in each bite. We ended up getting the rib eye aguachile as a appetizer and they definitely do not care about portions. It was a huge cut but the sauce is what takes it over the top. The other plates were Camarones Al Mojo basically garlic shrimp with rice and beans. Soooo much flavor and keep in mind they come with home made tortillas. Lastly we ended up with the trio ceviche. Each definitely had there own thing going. Must try. Service was quick and efficient will definitely come back to try other plates.

    Where do I start? We were literally the only people there when we arrived, and the service was…read morealready below par. It took forever for the waiter to bring us water, and he didn't even bring silverware until after our food arrived. We actually had to ask if we could get some so we could eat. There was only one person doing everything, and at most there were three tables occupied, so I can't imagine what the service would be like when this place is actually busy. We also waited quite a while for our food to come out. The cook/chef definitely wasn't in any hurry. Maybe this is a great bar, because I see it has some high ratings, but as a restaurant experience, we were not impressed. We ordered the fried fish tacos, which I had heard good things about. You get four pieces of fish on one taco, but at $9 for a single taco, I just don't think it's worth it. The ribeye steak and shrimp taco had plenty of ribeye, but very little shrimp. It was around $30-something for one taco, and it didn't come with rice or beans. I'll let you look at the pictures and decide if you think it's worth the price. The trio tacos were supposed to include al pastor, but they were out of it, so they substituted a shrimp taco. That came with rice and beans, but unfortunately the beans were so cold that the cheese hadn't even melted. It was literally sitting there in a chunk. I also ordered the whole grilled fish. The fish itself was tasty, but at $33 for the meal, I wouldn't order it again at that price. Overall, the food had flavor, but the experience just wasn't worth the $95 we spent for four people. The combination of slow service, food taking too long, cold beans, small portions for the price, and the lack of attention from the waiter really took away from the meal. For me, this is a 3-star experience at best. I wouldn't come back, and I probably wouldn't go out of my way to try their other locations either. There are just too many places where I feel you get better food, service, and value for your money.
