THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH! My boyfriend and I initially came to try the tacos, but unfortunately, we…read moredidn't have any cash on us. We came back today, and WE WERE ASTONISHED BY HOW DELICIOUS THE TACOS WERE! Honestly, Tacos Uziel had some of the best buche, suadero, and cabeza we've ever had. The meat practically melted in your mouth and had this rich, buttery texture that made me want to keep eating more and more! The people working there were so patient and kind, and we really appreciated how efficient the service was. We didn't stay to eat, but there is limited seating available. It might be best to enjoy your tacos in your car or take them home. We'll definitely be back soon to bring our family and friends!

So, I haven't ever actually been to their primary location, currently their only one - but until…read moreabout a month ago, they also operated a second popup location with all the same food, setup, prices, etc, a couple blocks away from us, and we were there ALL the time. Sadly, they seemed to have paused that location indefinitely, and I miss the absolute heck out of it. I really hope they come back. But I figure given it's the same people making the same food, I can review their current location, anyway - and given they're across town instead of down the street, I don't have to be conflicted whether I want word to be out about how fantastic their burritos are, vs worrying that it could cause there to be a line to get one. It is funny that they call themselves "Tacos Uziel", though, given their tacos are... fine. They're not bad tacos. I'd even go so far as to say that they're good tacos. Not huge, though, for the price, and while their meat is quite good, as are their salsas, after trying them once, I never got tacos again, because their burritos are literally my current gold standard for what the absolute best possible burrito looks like. I also tried their torta once, a while ago. Their tortas are also good, but they also aren't their burritos. Their burritos might well be the best burritos in California. Certainly the best *value* burritos in California, given in addition to being wonderful, they're also *massive*. You have to be pretty hungry to eat a whole one in one sitting, which I usually do and then regret it slightly. Anyway, reasons why this is the best burrito ever, other than being massive: 1. Their rice and beans are great. 2 2. They have suadero! Stewed in a big pot, just like the first and best suadero I ever had, from a famous taco stall in Mexico City. (La Brasita *has* suadero, but while they may make the best al pastor in the city, their suadero is bland and dry. The suadero here is almost too decadently rich to eat on its own in a burrito. 3. At no additional cost, you can get a burrito that's half and half of two meats. Their asada is also my gold standard for what great asada should be, and mixing their suadero and asada together is a... life-changingly good combo. (And each of the two halves are still more meat than I've gotten from some, much more mediocre burrito merchants in the past.) Their carnitas is also quite good, though I pretty much always got asada + suadero, once I discovered how wonderfully they went together. 4. At no additional cost, they'll griddle cheese *onto* the inside of the tortilla. Until I had the burritos here, my favorite burrito *had* been the breakfast burrito Lowkey used to make (RIP Lowkey :(), which griddled cheese onto the *outside* of a giant tortilla. Griddled cheese in a burrito is great, it turns out it's way less messy if it's the inside, though. These burritos are also way less money than Lowkey used to charge for his, and he charged extra for the cheese, too, lol. Super good. 5. After putting in the rice, beans, meat and cheese, they hand you the open burrito so you can add your own toppings to it directly, before they wrap it. Toppings include several salsas, ranging from hot to very hot, all very tasty, which it is nice being able to ladle directly into the burrito directly. They *also* include cooked/sliced onions as well as the traditional raw onion/cilantro mix, and on top of that, grilled nopal! You can add as much grilled onion and nopal as you want as well, also at no extra cost. (Though I did learn my lesson, if you add too much, your burrito *will* become top-heavy and fall apart.) 6. Assuming you don't do that, for how much they stuff these burritos with, they are *pros* at structural engineering. These burritos look like they'll fall apart, but they *don't* fall apart. 7. They're $10. ($8 on Wednesday.) That is a *steal*. Uziel, please don't change! (Except, come back to downtown. Please do change in that respect!)

I don't like when lots of masa and barely any stuffing. These tamales were made very well, masa was moist and the insides were well season. Super tasty!

The tamales were moist and soft (but not mushy). The layer of masa was thin and there was plenty of well-seasoned meat. The meat wasn't dry either. And the tamales came with various toppings (cheese, salsa, crema). You could tell that the tamales were made with love. They're also free of pork lard.
