The food tasted fine, just not memorable enough to make this my go-to for a taco fix. The double tortillas were also too greasy for my liking. Between here and Taco Nazo, I'd pick Taco Nazo for the fish and asada tacos, mostly for the flavor and the salsa. It was busy, which could be the Taco Tuesday prices, or maybe this place is good and I'm being harsh. I just didn't taste anything that would bring me back.

I had the Jamaica agua fresca, which was refreshing and good. We also got complimentary chips and salsa, and the chips were freshly made and delicious! Definitely one of my favorite parts of the meal. The food was good overall and nicely presented. Some of the dishes were a little on the salty side for my taste, but the flavors were still enjoyable. The only downside was that it was a bit hot inside, although there were quite a lot of people, so I'm sure that contributed to it. Overall, a solid Mexican spot with friendly service, fresh chips, and good food. I'd come back to try more from their menu!

The people at the register were very nice and patient. They told me how big the burritos were and what comes with them. It just meat and tortillas. You can add beans and stuff for a little more. I got the Brea burrito. So I Oder two. They said everything made in shop. It felt home made. It wasn't over sauce.. it had a lot of meat. It's great lunch or small dinner.

Refried beans were cooked very good and tortilla was nice and fresh! The salsa on it was a good addition 8.8/10 chicken tinga - this I enjoyed.

I have eaten at many vaunted taquerias such as San Francisco's La Taqueria and North Hollywood's Birrieria Familia Castro (Yelp ranked best taqueria in the U.S.).

I plan to load up a car with a bunch of friends to come back here to sample what I have not yet had on the menu. Be sure to check out the "secret menu" taped to the window.

I liked that they use refried beans inside, and the overall flavor was good. My only issue was the meat to rice and beans ratio. There was definitely a lot more rice than carne asada, and I would've liked a little more meat in there. Overall, the burrito was good and the portion was a decent size, but I think it would've been much better with more carne asada. I noticed their wet burrito seems pretty popular, so that's probably what I'll try next time.

My husband and I both love crunchy shredded beef tacos, so of course we both ordered them! My husband chose the grilled vegetables instead of the rice and beans, which was a nice option. We also ordered the guacamole--YUM! And the chips were warm and fresh! Their Jamaica was absolutely delicious too! Next time I'm craving a Jamaica or Horchata, I already know where I'm going.
