    Expect to wait 30+ minutes if you go during a weekday around noon! They're open daily (Mon- Sat - 9am-10pm & Sun - 10am-10pm They don't really have their own parking lot but there are parking spaces that are available in the surrounding businesses. Menu had a good variety of tacos, tostadas, burritos, soups, sushi, shrimp cocktails, and breakfast! Pricing was a little pricey. Most tacos were $4+ and most of the other items were $10+. There were combo plate options too, which were $12+. Recommend coming here on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays! The fish tacos are 2/$3.75 on Tuesdays and on Thursdays, the meat (asada, pastor, pollo, carnitas) tacos are 2/$3.39. Inside was quite small and not much seating. The fish tacos ($3.75/taco) was average. The fish was pretty big but it wasn't as crispy as I was expecting. The white cream and sauce was very overwhelming and salty so couldn't really taste the fish much! The pico de Gallo and lettuce didn't taste too fresh. The tortilla was just ok and didn't taste like anything special. This was 7/10. Definitely not worth 30+ min wait! The Horchata ($3.25 for 22 oz) was disappointing. It was so sweet! It didn't taste fresh or authentic. Definitely do not recommend this! This was 2/10. Might come back on Tuesday and/or Thursday for the deals but not on the other day!

    Good fish tacos and they have a Tuesday deal. Would prefer for a bit more batter with each fish for a crispier bite. Each taco was loaded with cabbage and creama sauce that you can enjoy if their side salsas. Plenty of seating inside so you can enjoy their self service taco topping bar.

    This place is one of my go-to places for some delicious fish tacos. Every Tuesday they sell their Fish Tacos for only $1.75 each so my family and I usually order a lot of them to take home. The fish is well fried and comes with freshly sliced lettuce on top. The white sauce they drizzle on top complements the fish well. I also enjoy their shrimp burrito which is flavorful and has a generous portion. Although, the workers here aren't friendly and quite disrespectful. They weren't really patient with me when I was making my order and spoke to me very curtly. Overall, come here for the tasty food, but don't expect much in terms of service or ambiance.

    Thursday bogo free tacos
    Anne S.

    Been wanting to try this place out for a while now. Got their Thursday promo: bogo free taco, choose from asada, carnitas, and pollo. You can mix and match. I got their carnitas and asada tacos with everything. Very good flavors and the salsa has a kick to it. They have a small bar with pickled purple onions, sliced lemons, and roasted/grilled(?) jalapeños. They're really quick and the place is clean. The parking isn't packed, just a short walk over. I'll def be back for their fish tacos.

    99 cent fish tacos on Tuesdays!
    Cuc N.

    I absolutely love their fish tacos! Every Tuesday, they have delicious fish tacos for 99cents only!!!! Can you believe that?! Every Tuesday!!! Before the covid19 era, it was always super packed every Tuesday, but now their customer load is less. However, fish tacos still very good as takeout! Their cod fish is moist and flaky on the inside with a slight crunch and crispy fried shell on the outside. The white sauce on top is creamy. The diced lettuce and tomatoes give it a nice freshness. You can also ask for extra mild salsa on the side! Serve yourself bar of well seasoned peppers and limes! Pros: -you can phone order ahead of time for your tacos! -fast service -delicious tacos at an insanely cheap price -seasoned peppers at the self serve bar and unlimited -friendly service -they have an extensive menu with other specials, but I only know this one!!! Cons: -a small extra charge with credit card

    If I could put zero stars I would. This place was nasty. When it first opened it was good. Decided to go have fish tacos and didn't want to drive to taco nazo(big mistake). Ordered the Sinaloa style sushi. NASTY! Don't order it. Waste of money it all went to the trash. After 30min of ordering,One of the server was so rude when I told her I was missing a plate and she told me as if I didn't know what I ordered that I didn't order that and I had received my order. No lady I have a receipt. And it took another 20min to receive it. So I can get raw fish tacos. Don't come here!

    They are rude

    WELL TODAY ON 2/11/25 @2:00pm There was two employees very disappointed and disrespectful to customers and had problems taking orders but I'm very upset which need to be reviewed by health department because giving orders that are returned food to customers and they were upset but my whole order was wrong and the this employee had gave me attitude her name is Patricia and the other skinny short girl was also rude and ignored our questions walked away BUT PPL NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITHTHEM

    This place used to be good. So I got 4 fish tacos to go that cost $7.13 For some reason the food took longer than usual. On top of that I got my order before the person in front of me. Go figure?!

    I have heard great things about this place and I thought to finally give it a try! It was a bit disappointing because I just had very high hopes on it being BOMB.com The one thing I really enjoy was the buche tacos. Fish tacos looked really good and promising but the batter was super thick and dough, and not crispy at all. Steak quesadilla looks really good too but it lacked flavor. Maybe I went on an off day.. I heard really great things so I definitely want to give it a try again!

    Tostada de camarón y pescado. Taco de pulpo y uno de peacado
    Edgar R.

    Delicious food and very well priced. Aguachiles were amazing but a little spicy. Tostada de pescado con camarón hit the spot. Loved their seafood tacos. Will definitely be back.

    Bland food. Sad and depressing seafood. Not Ensenada tacos. Shrimp not only comes uncleaned but also soggy breading. Really just discussing. How do they still operate ‍

    Do they still have taco Tuesday and taco Thursday?

    Taco Tuesday is still on as far as I know. Taco Thursday was cancelled due to a beef shortage. (I'm not sure how long it will be) all this info is the last time I went there.

    Does anyone know, what time they close?

    10pm, 7 days a week

    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.

I had the burrito with beef, potato and green chili. It was really good, but as I said they were small. But for the price you get what you pay for and I believe that five dollars is fair for this burrito. I wanted to try the bean cheese, I went ahead and bought one of those and it was delicious as well. If you're coming here, expecting a huge burrito you should probably order a couple. Flavor is here in each of these burritos. What I like the most is that they were small enough to order two and try different ones instead of being stuck with the same big giant burrito. Two equal the price of your average burrito somewhere else. After eating two of the small burritos, I was definitely full. Service was good! Pretty fast and easy to order. I definitely recommend trying this place.

They recommend 2-3 burritos per person but I think you can get away with 1. they are small but filling. I bought two and was happy that I had one for the next day. They heat up well in the toaster oven or air fryer. I am curious how the frijoles y queso one is. I am sure it is really good too.
