Heard some good things about this food truck and wanted to check it out for myself. So glad I did!!…read moreWas welcomed by with a smile and a nice person ready to take my order. We ordered #14 tostaditas w/ asada, #6 tacos doritos w/ birria, and asada quesadilla. We absolutely loved how crispy the tostadas and tacos doritos were. The meat was tasty and tender! The birria concomé was so delicious! So nice that they had three long tables to sit at. Made the experience that much more welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Unfortunately.....ended up disappointing…read more Here is why: I've been to quite a few tacos spots. I've been trying to try this one because I saw the hype on social media (maybe I was expecting them to live.up to that hype) Tacos - 2 stars: there was flavor in the asada and al pastor but the tortillas were small and kinda of hard. They may have left them on the grill too long. Im used to the nice soft delicious tortillas. Guacamole was ok Prices - 2 stars: spent $41 for 8 tacos and 2 senorials. They are over priced and portions are very small. I could have gotten more for my buck somewhere else for example: tacos el venado on sepulveda. They are really good. Angels tacos on sherman way (they have home made tortillas and their tacos are twice as big Over all, disappointing. Would I come back again? Not even if I was starving. But try then for yourself, you may have a different opinion. I have certainly have had better.

Food 10/10 Service 10/10…read moreAmbiance 7/10 Stopped by because I wanted some bomb shrimp tacos and I heard really good things about this place especially the shrimp tacos and crunchy tacos and sure enough I see what the hype was about. The place itself is a super hole in a wall type of situation but immediately you are greeted by such great staff members I ordered my food and went to sit outside because it was a bit hot inside but I love people watching so outside it was lol. 2 LOADED shrimp tacos with rice and beans and a LOADED chicken crunchy taco with a Coke Zero only 27$ which was very reasonable especially for the great quality, they brought me out chips and salsa and a side of green sauce and everything was just so fresh I didn't even need to ask for more sauce. I will def be coming back and trying other things on the menu. The staff was super attentive and caring which is always an A+ for me.

Tried their Mega breakfast burrito and it did not live up to my expectations based on reviews here…read more I had high hopes and this burrito was just meh. Not bad, but not delicious. Pros: great service and friendly staff! They do not skimp on the meat and food is hot and fresh in minutes! Cons:The "golden potatoes" were a non-factor in the burrito. All the flavors and textures mushed together for a consistent average creation. The salsas were also lackluster. Neither had any kick, green was watery and the red remained me more of pace in a bottle than freshly made salsa. I want to support local spots so I might give them another chance and ask for crispier potatoes and crosstown fingers the salsas are better the next time.

There is a term you say in Hawai'i that when something is good, it "broke da mouth." AND THIS…read moreVEGAN Mexican dinner by El Cocinero BROKE MY MOUTH! I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

Food is excellent. Everything is delicious. Staff is friendly and accommodating…read more The best part however is their deals. They have amazing tacos for $1 on certain days. Overall value for money this is the best meal you can buy for miles hands down.

First time visiting Casita! Decided this would be our anniversary date night, wanted to try…read moresomething new! We loved the Birria Nachos with cashew cheese! Very unique and delicious, highly recommend! Next we tried the taquitos, these were okay, a bit overly fried, but okay! Next we tried the Tinga tacos and we liked them, was expecting a lot more flavor from the chicken itself aside from the toppings! Had a glass of Rośe, it was good. Definitely coming back for the nachos and trying something outside of the Happy Hour menu which runs from 5pm-6:30, decent menu and options! Service was okay, ambiance was lively and happy!

So glad to finally check this off my valley list!! Took advantage of the dinela and boy was it so…read moremuch food!!!! On top of the meal ordered the spicy mango margarita. Flavor wise delicious but definitely lacked any spiciness. Also appreciated getting a celebrity sighting! At first we were seated by the window but given the heat and lack of being able to feel the AC we were able to get moved to a different table which I greatly appreciated. I can't even describe all the food we got but my favorite for sure was the pulled beef taco, the chips and assortment of dips, and ahi tun. I absolutely will come back. I'd say desaert was my least favorite as the cake park of it was too dense for my liking. Parking was no sweat there is valley but costs a lot.

Was looking for a brunch spot in the area and finally got the chance to try Homestate, a Tex-Mex…read morechain that's been on my list to try for a while! They have an indoor dining area as well as a spacious covered patio. I also loved that their drinks are served in mason jars! Water, utensils, and napkins are self-serve. The service was excellent, and one of the managers (?) even stopped by at the end of our meal to offer us complimentary to-go drinks, which was so thoughtful! Their menu has a great variety of both breakfast and regular tacos, and you can choose between flour or corn tortillas - both types of tortillas tasted so yummy and freshly made. Everything we ordered was so good! - Trinity breakfast taco (eggs, bacon, potatoes, cheddar) - definitely a classic breakfast taco - Brisket taco - comes with a juicy and tender brisket - Queso (served with chips) - great for sharing! - Cookie milk iced coffee - made with chocolate chip cookie-steeped oat milk and wasn't overly sweet which I appreciate There's a small parking lot with about four spaces, otherwise, street parking is plentiful nearby. Overall, a great spot for brunch or a casual meal!

My husband got 2 tacos, brisket and chicken and a side of chips. I through in a side of crispy potatoes. This was a nice cool Sunday evening around 6pm, the vibe was full-ish but still places to sit. There's a big bar around the cook area inside where you order or a covered patio outside area (with heating if necessary). We had a lovely evening, so we sat at the end of a bench. Our food came to our table I'd say within 10-15 minutes of ordering. I honestly could have shared mine. It was a lot with those potatoes, and even my husband who's a thin guy said one of those tacos would have been sufficient (and he could have helped me with mine...haha). We were just in the area visiting our kids, we come down frequently from NorCal, so we will definitely hit up this place again now that we've found it in the near future. So good and super relaxed and easy.

I came here 1st time today to get birria tacos for my husband, I am not familiar with quantities of…read moretacos per order in this place. I asked this young woman how many tacos per order comes and I mentioned that I want birria tacos with soup, she was acting super WIERD like I am a beggar asking for food and beside that she did not want to explain anything, and she was using SPANISH words to a person who doesn't speak Spanish, and I have no idea why she assumed that I will understand that and expect her attitude towards me. Also, when I sled her again because I didn't understand duh, she got annoyed by that! She charged me extra for the birria soup in order of BIRRIA tacos! For two tacos and a soup I had to pay $15 this is INSANE!!!

Service: Horrible! Food: Not good…read moreValue/Price: Expensive Quality: Low We arrive and the window was closed, so we started ordering on the tablet. A gentleman arrived and complained about the girl not helping and being inside on her phone. We didn't know what to do, but he did knock on the window and order. We ordered the $50 4 person taco plater even tho we are only two. We saw the cook putting our order together and letting the girl know. She then got busy with a guy that lost his wallet on Monday, she then spend about 10 minutes with him trying to see in the cameras what had happened. We then had to step in and ask to please be provided with our now cold order. She passed us the bag and we had to again ask for the plates, utensils, napkins and our drinks. We got home and the amount of food was very small, the cucumber was cut into humongous chunks, and honestly the flavor was not to die for. We will never ever visit the place again and I recommend you don't. I actually don't even give a single star to this business.

Authentic Mexican food. Food is fresh and delicious. I personally do not like spicy food. I asked…read morehow spicy their mild sauce is. They gave me a taste. Too spicy for me so they put tamatillo sauce on my heuvos rancheros. Perfect! If you like a little spice, the red sauce is great. If you like hot...go for green.

Great service and the atmosphere is charmingly authentic with both in door and patio seating.
