    Indeed 3.8. After theatre my husband and I were really hungry. My husband worked close to the place and went many times for a burrito. Our veggie burrito was delicious. They put a lot salsa on the side for you. Totally casual place, and friendly service. We pause $14 each burrito.

    Patio

    I can't tell you how many times I've passed this little spot on the corner driving around Studio City. Finally made my stop today and was surprised at how big their menu is. Prices are just a little higher than I expected, but it's a cool little place with outdoor seating right on the corner. I'm usually driving by in the morning, so I don't know what the lunch or dinner crowd is like, but I was the only one out there this morning. The girl at the window was super friendly and helpful. I ended up going with the taquito combo platter. It comes with three taquitos, rice, and beans. I went with chicken for the filling. When she handed me the box, I opened it up and honestly said, "Wow." The presentation totally caught me off guard in a good way. The taquitos were big, golden and crisp, loaded with chicken inside and stacked up over a bed of shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and a generous sprinkle of cotija cheese over the top. They didn't hold back on toppings. The rice was fluffy and soft with good flavor, and the beans were thick and creamy with melted cheese on top. As for the patio, it's got a chill vibe. You're outside under a covered awning with green-painted picnic benches and a slate-style tile floor with a good amount of space and a nice view of the street. It's not fancy, but it's got that old-school local taqueria feel to it. Overall, it was a good experience. Yeah, it was a little pricey, I think if it were about $4 less, it would've made the whole thing feel a little more worth it. But I'm still glad I finally stopped by.9

    Burrito

    Simple good burrito! Ambiance is nice to hangout outside. Customer service could've been nicer but I think they were busy.

    This is the one and only taqueria that I keep coming back to. They make a great burrito. Sorry...strike that...they USED to make a great burrito. Recently went back for my Cactus dosage and regular order -- carne asada with everything --$17 mind you. It just wasn't the same. It was all bean, little avocado, and practically NO MEAT. No CARNE ASADA -- no flavor -- what the hell happened to this place! You guys are better than this!! Not sure I'll be coming again until things improve. Adios!

    Needed food in a pinch and saw this place on the corner. Ordered 2 burritos #1 with carne asada and #5 with chicken and a medium drink for $32.86. My chicken had some fat so it was OK but the rice, beans, sour cream and guacamole was good. My hubby liked his carne asada with no complaints. Outdoor seating area was convenient and we got to eat before heading out of the valley.

    Hair she found in the burrito

    Grabbed dinner last night. My kids bean and cheese burrito was drenched in oil and there was a hair in her burrito. The fajitas has 1 oz of chicken in it (yes I weighed it) and 5 oz of bell peppers (also drenched in oil). They also gave me a flour burrito tortilla for fajitas. Pretty sure I could have just ordered a burrito. Definitely not happy with the experience. .

    Fish Taco Three Fish Tacos Combo
    Isabella G.

    Honestly some of the best tacos I've ever had. My friend got the carnesada tacos while I got the fish taco combo. The combo came with 3 tacos as well as beans, rice, and a salad. The tacos were loaded with toppings and were fresh as they were super crunchy. I also ordered an horchata which was very sweet and by far one of my favorite drinks. For the size of the location, there was actually a lot of seating. The workers were delightful and it was about a 10 minute wait for our food.

    Tacos Al pastor
    Drew F.

    Tough not to stop by cactus for a few tacos or a burrito if hungry when passing by. Hadn't been this location for a while and decided to give it a go with 3 Al pastor tacos. The flavors of Al pastor just don't compare to many other flavors. Glad to see no quality variance from other locations - This location is as good as vine or Beverly spots. Fast service. Good place to take a moment to indulge & watch the busy corner.

    Hair on a peace of beef.

    Hair on a peace of beef. Also was slightly undercooked at certain parts. Wouldn't recommend at end of day but it's great in the middle of the day(got it at night time).

    Burrito with mostly lettuce inside

    I've eaten at this place regularly in the past, but it seems to be under new management now. Prices have gone up, and the quality has gone down. We ordered two burritos that were almost entirely filled with lettuce. They never had lettuce in them before, let alone so much of it, and it made them totally flavorless. There was barely any meat or substance to them. For two people, the bill came to $50, which is hard to justify given how little food we actually got. It was really disappointing, and I won't be coming back. I'd strongly recommend checking out other options.

    Josue R.

    Heavy price on food when the quality is mid and they don't even have a restroom you can use. They just got a nice little sitting area I'll give them that

    Really!! French fries as my potato.  Raw chopped onions is gross waste of $16 dollars will not be coming back.

    Let me admit something annoying (perhaps even snotty?) about myself: I try to go against the grain…read morein most things. I prefer things that are underground, independent and not mainstream. When EVERYONE loves something; I tend to scoff. I am this way with most forms of art, places and even food. I simply question trends and prefer to rely on my own opinion. So, when fellow Yelper and dining partner Michael B. suggested we try North Hollywood's Birrieria Familia Castro (only minutes from my apartment!) which received the coveted #1 position on Yelp's Top 100 Taco Spots list - I was hesitant. I wanted to hate it. But there is no way to hate Birrieria Familia Castro because they deserve their title. Let's explore... Birrieria Familia Castro is located near the Oxnard/Vineland intersection close to the Noho Arts District in a teeny tiny strip plaza next to a smoke shop across the street from a tire shop. Being the literal definition of 'hole in the wall'; don't let this environment detour you from dining at Birrieria Familia Castro because it is these hidden gems that are often the best (and obviously in this case). Birrieria Familia Castro is a family-owned eatery that is the baby of Anthony Castro and his parents opening the venture in 2022 and focusing on homemade recipes passed-down generations of their family tree focusing on layers of flavor and hours of marinading and simmering. Anthony begins his day with a prayer and takes nothing for granted with each patron who walks in the door. Those who Anthony welcomes will find a tiny dining space in terms of square footage and super-hot in temperature (their AC isn't the most consistent so they need to open the door as the day-long cooking heats the space); but it is clean and cozy enough. The menu at Birrieria Familia Castro is rather simple focusing on what they are good at: breakfast, tacos, various birrias (quesatacos, vampiros, mulitas, dorados) and some a la carte plates. I personally enjoyed the smaller menu as I tend to get overwhelmed with too many choices. For my dinner, I chose two Quesatacos (crispy corn tortillas filled with meat, mozzarella, onions and cilantro - $5.25 each choosing one birria and one asada) while my dining partner chose two Birria Vampiros (toasted corn tortilla with meat in between burned cheese on top, onion and cilantro served with beans and rice - $13. 49) plus, Birrieria Familia Castro's famous birria consommé. Our dishes arrived rather quickly and were served on gorgeous, culturally-authentic clay plates that I thought were a lovely touch. My desire to go against the popular fan-favorites is out the door because Birrieria Familia Castro is sooooooo goooodddd! My quesatacos were fantastic: perfect texture tortillas made by spreading the consommé fat on the tacos because throwing them on a hot griddle with tender, amazingly-flavored long-simmered meat. Even the little picked onions were marvelous. The birria consommé was to die for: an orchestra of harmonious flavor with chunks of meat swimming in the broth: I could consume a bucket of this! Yelper Michael B.'s Birria Vampiros were, by his account, delicious and "a win": hard shell with burned cheese that was a perfect combination with the pickled onions and tableside salsas and birria consommé. Micheal even mixed some of the consommé with the rice and beans which was "an extra treat". If the amazing food wasn't enough; we had a pleasant chat with the main man Anthony, himself. Anthony is hyper-focused on not only offering delicious food; but genuinely caring about his customers and how he can improve. Anthony reads all Yelp reviews to see any areas that need finessing and cares about small details of his business: remember those clay plates I am obsessed with? Anthony curates those from an artist in Mexico and he even orders plates with dividers for those who don't like ingredients touching on their plate. It is this concern and attention to detail that helped land Birrieria Familia Castro as Yelp's #1 in the nation. Although limited in hours (closed Mondays, some days closing as early as 5pm due to overhead costs and competition); Birrieria Familia Castro is highly recommended. Top-tier food, customer service and priced well - truly deserving. Don't be stubborn like me and find out why Birrieria Familia Castro is #1

    We drove all the way from Moreno Valley to check this little gem out, and honestly, it was well…read moreworth the drive! The moment we walked in, it felt so welcoming and homey, almost like being in your tía's kitchen. The location is a little hit or miss since it's right on a busy street and on the corner, but once you're inside, the ambiance makes up for it. We came in with a party of 6, and the service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and the turnaround was surprisingly quick. The food came out hot and fresh, not sitting around waiting. Our plates were brought out as soon as they were ready. I ordered 2 birria tacos with consomé and OMG... The pickled onions were THE BEST and topped off the tacos perfectly! The flavors were incredible. I'll definitely be coming back. This place is absolutely worth the drive! And a big shoutout to the owners for being so kind and welcoming. You can really feel the love they put into their food and their business.

We were served food but not given utensils. We asked twice and got 2 forks for 5 people, but lots of napkins. The third request got it done. They did give clean plates to split meals, and warned us about the $5 fee for using a credit card. Our party of 5 adults got 3 meals, a salad, and a pitcher of lime margaritas for $111 plus tip. We had leftovers. In all, I would go again. Maybe Sunday at 2 PM was a bad time? I don't know.
