We ordered the Pastor Burrito and placed the order at the counter before finding a seat. The burrito itself came out a bit smaller compared to most burritos I usually get. Flavor-wise, the biggest downside was the strong sour taste, which unfortunately overpowered the overall experience. Even the sauce served on the side had the same sour profile, making it harder to fully enjoy the meal. Sadly, this wasn't the most pleasant burrito experience for us.

I placed my order over the phone and it was ready by the time I arrived, which was nice. The burrito itself wasn't too big, but it was actually pretty filling. It had a good ratio of meat to rice and beans, and they use whole beans. For the size of the burrito, I was surprised by how much carne asada they packed in there compared to everything else, which is definitely a plus. The carne asada was flavorful and had some nice crispy bits that were honestly really tasty. It also came with limes and hot sauce on the side. I honestly wasn't expecting too much going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good carne asada burrito and definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving one.

We came across this little…read morespot located in a small shopping center, and it looked like an authentic Mexican restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. The only thing that made us a little hesitant was that it was completely deserted not one customer inside...Not sure if it was just the time of day or what, but we were hungry, the place looked decent, and the man and woman working inside were both friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend ordered the carne asada burrito, and I ordered the birria plate with rice and beans. I asked if they made handmade tortillas and was told yes, but I did notice a package of store bought tortillas. The tortillas didn't really taste handmade to me, but they were decent. Overall, the food was okay. Not bad, not amazing, but decent enough if you're in the area and looking for something quick. On a positive note, as we were leaving, another guy came in who seemed to be a regular. He knew them by name, and they greeted him with, "Haven't seen you in a while!" That was actually nice to see and made me think they probably have their regular local customers. Would I go out of my way for it? Probably not. But if you're in the area and want a casual Mexican food option, it's worth considering.

I was not greeted or acknowledged, and I had to flag down employees just to get their attention.

I found that extremely unprofessional and honestly pretty gross, especially in a place handling food. Things didn't get any better when I picked up my food. The way my order was packaged was very terrible. The ceviche was placed in a plastic container, closed up, and put into a bag with the limes and tostadas simply thrown on top. Nothing was wrapped or packaged separately. The seafood itself was also very disappointing. It honestly looked and tasted like some of that came straight from a can and added pico rather than freshly prepared seafood. Needless to say I will not be coming back and would not recommend.

I got their jamaica and orange drinks, rice and beans, jamon torta, and chile verde and carnitas tacos dorados to try. My grandma also got herself a carne asada burrito which was decently sized but was mostly beans and she said the meat was kinda tough. This was my first time trying a Jamaica drink and it reminded me of cranberry juice. And The orange drink pretty much just tasted like a non bubbly Fanta. Oh you can also get one free refill on them if you want there. Yall know I'm a bean fiend and these beans were creamy, smooth, earthy, and seasoned but still let the beans shine. #beanfiendapproved The rice was super flavorful, a bit tomatoy, savory, and yummy. The jamon torta had mayo, crunchy shredded lettuce, diced tomato, thick cut deli like meat, plenty of melty cheese, all on a soft a bit sweet bun. Was actually way more flavorful and yummy than I thought it would be. The tacos had a decently griddled crisp chewy corny corn toritilla and plenty of meat. The carnitas were savory but kinda oily and a bit dry. but The chile verde MNM. Big chunks of juicy tender melt in your mouth flavorful meat. They also gave me some bright, acidic, a bit spicy salsas that tasted pretty similar just the red one was a little more tomatoey? But Overall this place was lowkey pretty good.

The building itself sets the tone with its cool 60s look, almost like a vintage Wienerschnitzel, with that classic roadside charm that makes you feel like you've found a neighborhood staple. This is a cash only place, but the prices are affordable for both the quality and the generous portions you get. It is homestyle Mexican food done right. No frills, nothing fancy, just well seasoned, satisfying dishes that hit the spot. We ordered the Asada Burrito, Asada Fries, and the Chile Verde plate. All three were excellent. The burrito was packed (tons of beef!) and flavorful without being too greasy, the asada fries had that perfect balance of crisp fries and meat, and the chile verde plate was rich and generously-portioned. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. We left full and happy, and we plan to come back. Tacos Los Mismos is a great find in El Monte and well worth the stop.
