    Price # 1 menu
    Eric C.

    Ate here a few times before food is good , service was great the only complaint here is to watch out for what they charge you for they have 2 menus with price listing meals right above in display as you enter , but they are both wrong according to staff, versus what the actual cash register charges you it's super confusing and annoying , the girl working there was super nice and apologetic when I asked why I was being charged a complete different cost ?? There's actually 3 different prices she mentioned they where going thru a transition not sure of what ?? But the manager needs to get their job done right to avoid confusion, I also noticed the portion very small compared to other times ,taste was great , NOT the multiple price confusion and their smaller portions , honestly I was just hungry to go elsewhere, but definitely I won't be back there - I hope this helps someone out there.

    Breakfast bacon burrito with less egg
    Princess B.

    Consistently delicious and friendly service! My go-to is the veggie taco salad. I haven't found a better one anywhere else in the area. YuM! I recently tried their breakfast burrito and ordered it with "less egg" and I swear each bite was like heaven! They have a salsa bar which is always fun, too.

    Pretty good spot for tacos! We were at the indoor kids gym next door and decided to get some food for lunch. We both got taco plates - I got 2 beef and one chicken, hubby got all chicken. Plates cane with rice and beans. Decently priced a d the food was yummy! Staff was friendly! Would come back!

    Super Taco - Carne Asada
    Emily H.

    We came here since we saw they had lengua on the menu! We got Lengua tacos, Al Pastor tacos and Carne Asada Super tacos. The regular tacos comes with onion and cilantro. The Super tacos actually has guac, sour cream and cheese along with the onion and cilantro. The menu needs to be updated since it has the same description for both items. The Al Pastor was delicious, great flavor! They skimped out on the meat for that if you ask me, but probably because it's so good. The Lengua was good too. The Carne Asada as a Super Taco really puts it together. I recommend getting at least 1 Super Taco. They also have a salsa bar with 3 types of salsa, limes and radishes. Love when restaurants have this!

    Lengua Burrito

    I'm still dreaming of that lengua burrito. The tortilla is thin but still holds all the ingredients well. The meat is in a sauce and not dry. The rice does a great job of holding everything together. Ahhh, until we meet again Tapatío. I'll be dreaming of you. Also, their chips are really good.

    Small restaurant serving Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Typical fare of burritos and tacos. Enjoyed the breakfast burrito which we split between the two of us. Definitely was sufficient to satisfy both our appetites. Prices are pretty reasonable and the food is delicious. Seems mostly like a carry out place although they do have a number of tables inside. No outdoor seating and parking is in a lot shared by several stores

    Absolute fire Clean food and very delicious…read more We had the breakfast skillet and bistek de ranchera and we absolutely loved it And they have Amazing coffee!!!!

    Saturday morning review*…read more There was alot of people waiting at 10am but within 30 mins we were called into the patio. Seated & had a question for the waiter, but she was unsure, said she'd be back with the answer and disappeared for 15-20 mins and came back with no info, she had forgot what I had asked her. It was a simple question, just asked if they still had the Birria quezadillas, she had said yes & I asked for the price becus I couldn't find it on the menu, thats when she said she'd find out the price and didn't return for a long awhile. Then when she came back she forgot and just said "they dnt sell um anymore" She seemed disconnected and so unsure. A waiter should know the menu & what is discontinued. Or at the least find out and return quickly with the info, not take long and come back having forgot to even find out. But ok, no problem we just got our drinks and the café de Olla was good. The food arrived and the rice stood out more than the Chilaquiles. The pancakes were small for the price & didnt have much flavor, once the toppings were gone the pancakes were bland. Came here becus I saw comments online, but I dont think I'd go back, there are many other places with outstanding food & service. The Mexican rice & Café de olla were the standouts of the meal. If you live nearby I could see this being a good place to enjoy a meal, but to come in from farther out isn't worth the drive.

    Hole Mole. This place rocks. Celia's has become one of my favorite Mexican spots in Burbank. Now I…read morecome for the Mole. A fun fact, they have a large table that has been in the family for decades. They offer both inside and patio seating. That means your dog is welcome. The mole is outstanding. They have 4 kinds to choose from. It is rich, complex, and full of authentic flavor. The chicken tacos were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. They are plastered on top of hand made tortillas with a pico de gallo. Order the flight of mole and pour it on top. The location is great and makes for a fun dining experience, especially if you're looking for something a little different from the usual Mexican restaurant. Their tequilla bar makes for a fun experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. However service is hit or miss. Sometimes only one person is serving the inside section. The only downside is the parking situation, which can be a bit challenging. We usually park across the street and walk over. Highly recommend for anyone craving excellent mole, tasty tacos, and great margaritas! You can also check out the stables next door.

    Beyond ignored and completely unwelcome. This place could have been the hubby and I spot. Since…read moreit's so close to home. But unfortunately, they were really unfriendly & understaffed and the waiter/bartender was extremely bothered we were there and seemed very overwhelmed. I don't know who Celia is but maybe get more staff in the kitchen and a hostess and more waitress/waiters. We went in Saturday Valentines night dinner right before 6pm and found parking to be easy and should have taken that as a sign but figured we get better service. NOPE! The parking not is just really small and the people sitting had ordered and committed to staying I guess. Keep reading and you'll get my drift! Honestly, We assumed it would be a great night romantic dinner. Then, we walked in and felt so neglected. No hostess to greet or seat you. The bus man or waiter said wait here and cleaned a table when 3 were available. It looks like the three employees were doing everything and at the same time doing nothing! It was comical at first. He sat us finally and then we ordered. Appetizers and a Molcajete and two nonalcoholic drinks. By now 32mins passed. No chips & salsa. No nothing... we should have just left. But we were lazy to leave elsewhere with no reservations on Valentine day. He brought me a drink from the bar like if I ordered it, I hate to say he might have memory issues. Then he noticed we still don't have our drinks and he had to ask again what I ordered. Now 50mins passed and at another 15 mins the main course came before the appetizers were served so I cancelled it. It just seems like they didn't care for anyone else but the people at the bar. Ppl were just walking in and ended up leaving or seating themselves. Majority left and they didn't even notice! Not welcoming at all and as for the food. I feel like everything was previously frozen as the chicken and meat was very chewy-leather like. The cheese was cold. And just grateful that we didn't get sick because it wasn't cooked all the way. When I go into a restaurant, I expect good service and quality food. I unfortunately won't be returning. Such a shame because this place has western character straight out of a saloon and can't speak for the drinks as we didn't even eat our entire meal and wanted to get the hell out. Do better because this could be a cute hangout spot!
