    Chicken Taco

    I don't like to complain but after receiving no response back I felt the need to share. I ordered 4 chicken tacos to go and there was literally 1 tablespoon of chicken in each taco. Obviously they don't care about customer service or to improve it.

    Nachos with Asada

    This is my go to place for nachos. In addition, you can help yourself to their salsa bar for their spicy green salsa and jalapeños. On Taco Tuesday, I recommend the hard shell chicken tacos. The service is always prompt and friendly.

    Their flan.

    **AVERAGE MEXICAN FOOD TO-GO** Craving some local Mexican eats and was too lazy to drive past Torrance. Chile Verde popped up with a decent rating on a delivery app and immediately placed an order. FOOD ===== CHILE VERDE PLATE - $10.99 Pork with green chile, served with rice, beans, and tortillas. The meat was pretty moist and tender, but the chile sauce was a bit salty. The red rice hardened tremendously and the cheese on the beans congealed after left untouched for an hour, a bit too processed for my personal taste. RATING: 3/5 FLAN - $2.49 I added this to my order and believed it was a homemade or restaurant-made flan. Nope, it was a Juan J's flan (see photo). I find it personally deceiving that they did not disclose this on the menu clearly. RATING: 2/5 OVERALL ======== Personally, not my jam. I know it's family owned, so I don't want to be harsh. I wish them the best. My review is not going to stop their fan base and devotees, as they have several locations in the South Bay.

    Ordered thru door dash for a wet bean and cheese burrito (vegetarian as no lard etc) wet and a side of beans and cheese to make some nachos at home. I put notes to get some spicy salsa etc and it was all done correctly and food was excellent and the portions were huge. spicy salsa was very good. Sauce on the burrito was good, I would say it was 7/10, but the beans and rest were 9/10. Service was great as well.

    Carne Asada Fries

    Great service, great food, clean and very welcoming! Great experience. I had the New : Carne asada fries, great price, great flavor and great amount just satisfying!

    Rude cashier
    Gabriel T.

    First off I love this chain, I know the family that started it and let's just say they won't be happy with what I have to say about this location. My family and I order 2-3 times a month from this location and despite the food being good the service is despicable. It's Friday night and an hour before closing time and the staff is already cleaning the beverage station and putting up chairs. Which sucks cause I had been calling to place an order for a little over an hour. As soon as I walked in the cashier immediately rolled her eyes at me like I was bothering her. Wanting Horchata for my drink, and seeing that they had already cleaned the beverage station i asked her if there's was any in the back so she could fill my cup (it was a to to order) and she rolled her eyes once again and talked to me with an tone as if I were annoying her she said there was none left and immediately picked up her phone and started to text, ignoring me. Being I'm in the restaurant industry for a decade plus, I know this is not how you talk or deal with customers. This girl is obviously privileged or just doesn't take her job seriously and this isn't the first encounter with her and her attitude. She clearly has a stick up her ass and doesn't have any business dealing with loyal customers or customers for that fact. I would do some house cleaning if I owned this establishment cause bad employees like this could definitely ruin your reputation, and I don't want that cause the food here is great.

    Damn Toothpick is almost damn near the size of the Taquito.
    Ernesto G.

    Now, I have ordered from here a bunch of times and have been satisfied each time. The order of the 3 beef taquitos are always on point! However, this time, I damn near lost my tooth cuz of the damn taquitos! To say the least, I am in a lot of pain cuz I bit hard into one of them I heard a pop and felt instant pain. To my horrific surprise, there was a fucking THICK ASS TOOTHPICK inside the taquito. I don't know if it was done intentionally by one of the workers cuz u can barely see the toothpick from one of the sides, but that damn side was down! So I picked up the taquito, put the Guacamole on top, bit into it hard and WHAM! Instant regret! Chile Verde, you need to do something about this! My damn tooth feels numb right now. I hope it doesn't fall! Chile Verde, please let me know how you will take care of this issue! Sincerely, A very disappointed customer in PAIN!

I used to have tacos from the taco truck across the street from me when I lived in San Pedro and they were just perfect, simple and on point. I think I had that idea when I ordered the taco, but it wasn't really what I expected. It was bigger and looked beautiful, but the amount of spice was extremely high, which didn't even let me taste the flavor. And on top of it, the salt felt off too. Too much spice, not enough salt. My fiance ordered tamales, and the mole was more on the chocolate side than anything. The flavors just didn't match. Service wise we have nothing to complain about. They were nice and helpful! It's just the food that wasn't good for us.

They bring out three different salsas with the chips, and each one had its own unique flavor. You can tell the chips are house-made because they're fresh, crisp, and just really good.

When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and decided to sit outside, which felt perfect for a Sunday evening. We each ordered Orden De Tacos -- which is two tacos with rice and beans -- which seems simple enough. But after a while, we started noticing that people who arrived after us were ordering, getting their food, eating, paying, and leaving while we were still waiting. Again, all we had ordered was four tacos total, plus rice and beans. About 50 minutes after we placed our order, I finally got up to ask our waiter if he could check on our food because it had been such a long wait. If they were too busy (there were a lot of people, but not absurdly so), that's where communication could have gone a long way. Even just stopping by to acknowledge the delay or apologize for the wait would have made the experience feel very different. In the end, it took nearly an hour to get our four tacos from the time we ordered it, and the wait wasn't mentioned by staff at all. The food was okay in the end, but the experience definitely left us disappointed.

I've been to other Frida locations, such as the one in Glendale, and the food here is decent. Think of it as a slightly pricier, upscale El Torito. The guac is served in a clay pot, though they don't make it tableside like El Torito does. Overall, the food is okay, though not particularly memorable - I probably wouldn't come this location again, given the many Mexican restaurants nearby. That said, it's a fun place for celebrations (beside some safety concerns, keep reading); they do offer a free slice of cake with a candle that shoots fireworks, which is a nice touch for birthdays. The main issue for me, and the reason I cannot give a higher rating, was the customer service and safety. While we were comfortably seated, a server accidentally burned my fingers while carrying a hot plate of sizzling fajitas. I understand serving hot dishes can be challenging, but he was carrying one plate in each hand, and one of them was a cast-iron sizzling plate with hot oil. The oil splashed on my hand, causing a burn that immediately turned my skin pink. What concerned me most was how the situation was handled. I had to track down the floor manager to report the incident, and the response was not proactive or apologetic. The manager even made a sarcastic comment about whether he should call an ambulance. This left me feeling that proper training on handling hot plates and customer service may be lacking. As I mentioned, it is a competitive market and neighborhood for good Mexican restaurants, and given their poor quality in service and safety, you can be sure I will never return to eat here. I share this not to be harsh, but as constructive feedback. The food itself is fine, and the setting works for celebrations, but safety and respectful, professional service should come first, especially in a busy restaurant environment.

This is an "order at the counter and they bring it out to you" type of place. The name "& cantina" makes me think you be sat down and someone takes your order. A tad confusing. Let me start with the service. The cashier was friendly but didn't give me any time to decide if I wanted a receipt before declining it on her end. It's a pet peeve. The place was empty. The menu is hard to read and the printed/laminated menus are poorly printed making them difficult to read. They seem to be promoting rolled tacos (aka taquitos) but this says "Blue Burro Burritos." I went with a burrito. It just contained carne asada, guac and pico. No rice. No beans. No cheese. All are extra. It's served with chips and a drink if you get the combo. They do give tiny portions of salsa on the side. The burrito itself looked like it had been on Ozempic for a few months. It tasted fine but just didn't seem plump. The chips were crispy, salty (in a good way) and tasted fresh but there wasn't anything to really dip them in. The salsa they served are in tiny cups so you can't get the chip in it. Honestly, they felt more like hot sauces. The habanero was okay, not really that spicy. The green one was too vinegary for my taste. The place was clean and they had loud music playing in the background. It was empty when I got there and considering all the ingredients in my burrito seemed precooked (like Chipotle), it took a while for the food to come. I went to the beverage bar and the different flavors of the non-soda beverage options had unnatural colors. The horchata looked like got into a fight with a Smurf and lost. The strawberry aquafresca was an unnatural milky opaque red. The cucumber seemed just a bit too neon green. The first two were not to my liking. The cucumber was refreshing but tasted like it contained a LOT of sugar. It was also annoying they didn't have any signs what was what. Back to the service. I had some chips left but went to get a refill on my beverage and the worker there took my food away assuming I was done. I caught her just before she left the dining area and asked her to return the food. She apologized. I think they can/should wait until someone leaves the establishment or at least ask. The combo was about $17. Bottom line: will I return? I would not come here on my own. I think the food is pricey for what it is. However, if I was with others who wanted to come here, I wouldn't say no. There are just better Mexican food restaurants in the area.

They told us we could sit anywhere. It has a modern feel, plus lots of TVs, so maybe also a sports bar-vibe? They had the Olympics on, so I'm not complaining. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. I actually really liked the seasoning on the chips. Salsa was pretty good as well. We ordered a few tacos off the happy hour menu: fish taco, fried shrimp taco, chicken mole, and asada. Did not expect them to be as big as they were! Between two of us, we were stuffed from 4 tacos and could barely finish them. I really liked the chicken mole. I thought that the addition of the slivered almonds, pepitas and radishes was a delicious touch that really enhanced the texture with a bit of crunch. However, I got the scooner of Max's marg and thought that it was sorta of weak. Couldn't taste much tequila. The other downside was that there was a really loud party at the other end of the restaurant and one of them had a really sharp voice. I get that they probably were also enjoying the happy hour, but it really echos throughout the restaurant... and I don't think the servers can do much to quiet down a rowdy table a paying patrons...

    It was our first time here and I've always wanted to try this place! Upon arrival, the hostess…read morehonestly seemed a little bothered that we were there to dine, which wasn't the best first impression. Thankfully our waiter John completely changed the experience. He was attentive, friendly, and served us with a smile the whole time. We sat inside and the place was super cute! Of course our fur baby Louie joined us and stayed cozy right beside me the entire time The tacos were sooo yummy! I had the shrimp and asada tacos and let me tell you... the shrimp were huge and packed with flavor. The beans and rice were delicious too. But my FAVORITE was the ahi tuna tacos! I loved every bite and could eat 5! lol I'll come back just for that. The only disappointing part was noticing that some of the glasses looked dirty. Hopefully that's something they improve on because the food itself was really good and we still enjoyed our visit overall.
