Tortillas so soft and clean soft bite yummm So you can tell they use better quality tortillas !! Had the carnitas taco & asada taco The asada meat was so tender and juicy with the sauce and cilantro & onions yummm I literally finished my carnitas taco and told my bf I wanted two more !!!! Bf said to save this place in case we ever in the area again .. told him I already did :) As we were sitting there eating We noticed people would just come pick up their orders so this place is popping!! So yeah the order : Tacos 3 carnitas 1 asada Asada fries Chile Relleno Burrito The fries they use for the burrito were nice and crunchy too !!! Great presentation with alllll them lights to show the food !!

    I AM A HAPPY TACO!! My girlfriend and I went to Universal Studios and we were super hungry after. We were craving tacos we googled the nearest taco place and The Happy Tacos truck appeared. So we went, and OMG! The best tacos in the world! We got 3 carnitas tacos, 1 asada taco, carne asada fries, and chile relleno burrito. EVERYTHING WAS SO DELICIOUS!! We marked this taco truck a "MUST GO NO MATTER WHAT" section on our phones whenever we are in LA County.

    Decent street tacos when you have a craving. I got asada, al pastor, and carnitas. Carnitas were a little dry for my taste. I asked for salsa roja, and you also get the requisite cilantro/white onion. It also came with a side of chips, pickled carrot, and fresh radish. I'm such a Mexican stereotype but I wish the sauce was spicier :/ Wish they would have thrown a pickled jalapeño too. Location is on the street directly to the left of the Chase bank.

    Special Menu for weekends.

    Really great tacos! The asada tacos aren't too greasy. The service was quick, I would highly recommend

    I was checking out the shops at Franklin Village and saw the sign that said Hand-Crafted…read moreMargaritas. Well, heck. You don't need to threaten me with a good time! Guess what? I walked on in. The bartender was a friendly guy named Branden that had been working there for about 2 weeks. He handed me some menus and kept me entertained with friendly banter during my visit. The décor is lively. I'm sure fun times are had here during Happy Hour. In fact, they encourage it. There is a big section on the wall next to the bar that invites you to make a new friend & buy them a drink. What a cool concept. I could tell this is a neighborhood friendly place. The atmosphere was cozy, and I was digging the music selection. There is also outside seating if you want to people watch with your pup. The selection of hand-crafted margaritas was all appealing. I was torn between the El Coche Margarita (Cadillac) and the Spicy Watermelon & Grapefruit Margarita (both $16). The latter won the coin toss and it was delish! I didn't have time to eat but I like the fact that they have a variety of Vegetarian & Vegan dishes. Happy Hour is 7 days a week from 3 pm - 6 pm, which is a bonus. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the area and give the food a try. *Metered street parking. *Vegan & Vegetarian options.

    This bar is fantastic! A large space with lots of options for seating inside and out. Very chill…read morevibe. We had intended to go to the bar next door, but one look at the crowd there and the loud throbbing music turned us off. I had wanted to go to Mi Corazon anyway, and was glad the group agreed. Lots of great mezcal and tequila options, as well as a well-stocked bar with wine, beer and cocktails. And the food menu looks great, but we didn't try it. Next time! The bartender was great and served us at our table. Brought us chips and a delicious homemade spicy salsa. The atmosphere was perfect for conversation, with good indie music playing at the right level. I will be back.

    1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

    Great spot food is amazing. Carlos, our waiter, was the nicest! We had a blast…read more I highly recommend the food and the ambiance

    Really brings me no pleasure to do this, but this is my forth visit and it was such a step down…read morefrom the previous visits. End of the day, a $68 bill pre-tip for a less than genrous plate of ($16??) guac and 4 very small tacos with no rice or beans included and one draft Modelo is just unacceptable. The tacos were adequate, but unspectacular. 'Filet mignon' tacos were a single unchopped hunk of meat well flavored but so bare and small for 2x $22. The guac was too refrigerated, with not fully ripened avocado that resulted in an overly sweet taste and slightly firm texture that was unpleasant. Chips were also just not very good, and also not as far as I could tell complimentary. Service gets high marks for speed and efficiency, but felt super impersonal. Example, a server asked us how everything was while we were clearly just sitting there, not having tasted any of it waiting for some limes to arrive at the table. Just asked the question without surveying at all, and it was very performative and not genuine. Which is fine. I'm not at all mad at the servers, tough job but worth noting when noting the tip % options on the POS. End of the day I don't know if I'll be back or not. Everybody has an off day. But just about every aspect was less than stellar(draft beer was excellent) especially compared to three previous excellent visits. It's getting harder to justify going out for dinner, and at these prices, I would hope they could do a little better.
