The tacos were fantastic, especially the carnitas - bursting with flavor! The tortillas are house-made which makes a big difference. My brother loved the massive portion of asada fries. Just a heads-up that parking is limited and there's only outdoor seating by a busy street. Takeout might be a good option!

Food is amazing and I loved it the 5 stars go towards the food. As far as the service 0/5 whoever does the phone orders is really rude and so is the cashier not sure if it was the same person but they seemed very bothered at any questions we had.

Passing by and was looking for some good tacos. Was actually going to go to another place nearby but when I drove by, this place called my name and I had to stop by. And boy did I not regret it. This definitely hit the craving I've been having for tacos in a long time and is going to be a staple stop anytime I'm in the LA area. Everything we got was delicious. There wasn't anything we got that we did not like. The hand made tortillas were spot on. Service was great, very helpful explaining some of the items. The papa loca was a first ever trying and it was so good. My husband got it plain since he doesn't like the toppings but even like that it was still delicious. Next time I'll have to order it myself with the works. We ate in the car before leaving since we had to go and it was late at night. But they do have a seating area to the side with plenty of tables. Can't wait for my next trip to LA to make a stop here.

An Instagram picture of fish and shrimp tacos caught my attention. Be aware these items were only sold during lent which just ended. We had 2 fish tacos and 1 shrimp taco. They were a 9/10. Why not a 10? Because I wish I could have enjoyed 1 more bite lol. We also ordered a mulita de pastor which was delicious but needed more guacamole. It's a walk up taco spot, rarely any tables but we were okay with eating in the car. They have a few choices of sauce to grab for your food. Service was great. I don't live near the area, we drove just to try their food. If I am ever in the area I would definitely drop by again.

I had some time to kill while getting my windows tinted next door (check out Direct Tint - best in the business). This is like a little taco shop/stand right out of Tijuana, Mexico. The food is all delicious, they specialize in Al Pastor anything. My only gripe, the physical location is a bit rundown, which is part of the authentic charm I suppose. Mismatched paint and stucco, along with a general disrepair. UNFORTUNATELY, I had to watch a cockroach battle a spiderweb while eating my quesadilla, not the imagery that makes you hungry. That is also a testament to the food, because it didn't stop me from grinding. LOL. That said, it was gross. Had my wife been with me, she would have immediately thrown her food away, or suddenly been not hungry. I had the Al Pastor quesadilla which was excellent and really filling, total cost was around, $8.50. I like that they also have an old-school push cart with additional toppings that really help bring out the flavor: onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, radish, limes, etc. Pro tip: they prefer cash, you get a 4% discount, OR, you pay a 4% premium if you use a credit card, cash is king.
