I would recommend their barabacoa plate or their tacos with buche. My husband enjoys their tacos de chicharon. They are yummy! My daughter enjoys their tortas, she goes for their al pastor or buche. We've become known to the owner that he always gives us to try something other than what we've ordered. The restaurant is a little small, but that doesn't stop customer's from coming. Spots fire , its a little hidden behind a gas station next to a barber shop. Secret menu: if you love spicy like we do, they have a habanero salsa that isn't given unless you ask for it. Thats the cherry on top of our meals there. Be warned it is spicy, but so so delicious.

Menu has NO PICTURES. Service: weird…read more Environment: hot and stuffy, small, but fits a few people- about 12-15 people. My bf got a half/half wet burrito which they DONT make, so don't even bother asking for it because we asked if they do that and they said no. However, when they brought it out to us, they did accommodate us. That was a kind gesture. So A+ for that. As my bf said, we got "Yelpfished". We were born and raised in SOUTHEAST LA, where there are taquerias EVERYWHERE. I know a thing or two about authentic , Mexican, real good CARNE ASADA tacos. Unfortunately, this establishment did not meet my expectations. The meat was not carne asada meat. It was like flat milanesa meat. It lacked a little bit of flavor as well. Overall, I would not return and I can't believe the number of people that like this spot. Well, maybe just their carne asada sucks.

After a beautiful night celebrating Día de los Muertos in LA, hubby and I decided to end the…read moreevening with some delicious Mexican food at one of our all-time favorite spots! We usually visit their Long Beach location, so trying this location for the first time was a little foodie adventure of its own! We kicked things off with two strawberry margaritas, sweet, fruity, and refreshingly delicious, with that perfect strawberry flavor that makes you want to take another sip! For dinner, I ordered the carne asada, and hubby went with two enchiladas . The thought of savory, tender carne asada with that irresistible grilled flavor, paired with the rich, comforting flavors of Mexican cuisine, is enough to make any foodie happy! And those enchiladas? A classic, satisfying choice, packed with delicious flavor in every bite. Between the fruity margaritas, the comforting Mexican food, and the cozy date-night vibes, this was such a delicious way to end our evening! Good food, great company, and another little foodie adventure together. What more could we ask for? Also big shout out to Selene our server, she was amazing!!

But future is coming for this place a place across from Mi Burrito is a former Filipino restaurant they have acquired it and by autumn to winter Mi Burrito will be in a larger facility and some up coming perks that would customers would love from want I am told. My wife got cocito sopa it look great enough beef and vegetables and cabbage and potatoes. Onions and limes on the side she is on heaven she is dealing with bronchitis and this help so much I got the wet burrito with green chili pork, first time having this. Very very good with beans and rice mixed in. Sauce mixed red and green and guac no sour cream. Good burrito definitely. Very clean establishment and customer service is on point. Welcoming and experienced thank you David for you customer service nice to see in wait staff. I will return and also going to tray there Whitter location as well. Looking forward to seeing the new establishment

It was my first time trying Mi Burrito Mexican Grill. I ordered to go and it was about a 20 minute…read morewait, so make sure to order ahead if you don't want to wait. My boyfriend got the 4 beef taquitos plate with rice and beans for $18 and I got the taco, enchilada, and chile relleno plate with rice and beans for $19. The prices are reasonable given that the servings were pretty big. One plate can really be shared by two people. I had leftovers, mostly the rice and beans and half of an enchilada. The crispy beef taco was pretty good, but it wasn't that crispy by the time I got home. The chile relleno and chicken enchilada were really good, but the enchilada was on the dry side and was lacking red sauce. I thought the rice and beans were just okay. I had a few bites and was done with them. I had a bite of my boyfriend's taquitos and thought they were flavorful but needed to be crispier. They gave us complimentary chips that were the size of tostadas and two 2 oz salsas. There's an additional charge for extra salsa. I know because the man in front of me was agitated about having to pay extra for salsa. I have to agree that for each plate or entree, they should at least give two complimentary salsas instead of one. If I come back here, I'll probably order a la carte. The ladies working the front were pleasant.

Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Our server, Genaro, was incredibly attentive, friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. We loved it so much that we came back a second time. This visit, we tried the caldo de res (Genaro's recommendation), and it was absolutely delicious. I felt revived after every spoonful. We also ordered the trio chilaquiles with red, green, and mole sauces which was a great way to experience all the flavors. The real showstopper, though, was the café de olla. It was the perfect blend of warmth, spice, and sweetness. Such a wonderful way to start the morning!! Great food, genuine hospitality, and an experience that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!

No taco Tuesday either which was pretty disappointing. Came here after looking at the menu which had taco Tuesday but when we go there, was told they got rid of it. Nonetheless, won't definitely come back here on a Tuesday. The steak that I got was overcooked, but the chips and salsa were pretty good. Good area to enjoy some drinks though especially if the have live band.

The tacos were tasty and a great way to sample a few different options. The churros were the real standout for me--crispy on the outside, soft and warm inside, and honestly, on the same level as Churros El Moro! The watermelon agua fresca was also super fresh and refreshing. Service was attentive and prompt, which always makes a meal better. Overall, we had a good meal and will definitely be back to try more from the menu!

They put our food on a very high table, the menudo ended up spilling, the trays were dirty, and the whole ordering and pickup process was completely disorganized. You stand in line to order, then have to deal with another mess just to get your food. And not to mention, there were flies everywhere, which made the whole experience even worse and honestly made me question the cleanliness of the place. To top it off, the employees putting the food together were extremely rude. No customer service, no effort to help, just attitude. We spent $77 for three people, and this was easily one of the worst $77 I've spent. For that kind of money, I expect clean trays, a clean environment, decent food, and at least basic customer service. Last time coming here. You lost my business. Tacos El Fogón, you guys seriously need to tighten up--for reals!!!

We had a family dinner at Amor for my brother's birthday. We love coming here. The walls are…read moreadorned with murals, art work and mexican decor. The restaurant itself is small, cozy and moody. Perfect for a nice dinner with friends and family. The service is always top notch, quick, friendly and easy going. You'll feel known even if it's your first time. For food I got a 3 taco plate (plus one my mom wasn't going to eat). Carne Asada, Carnitas, Veggie and Fish. Man they were so good, but I struggled to finish the last one. These are not your average street tacos- these are a meal in themselves. The rice and beans are impeccable, everything I've had there has always been so good- one time I just had rice beans and tortillas and it was a perfect dinner- tortillas are hand made at the front of the restaurant. To drink I had their house cerveza- crisp, refreshing and perfect with a dash of lime. I highly recommend Amor Y tacos for a date night, nice family dinner, outing or any special occasion.

Ambiance: 5/5 Nice dining area with a bar that had a vast…read morevariety to choose from. My wife and I don't drink anymore but there were plenty of drinks that would have caught our eye. Service: 1/5 The service wasn't the best but apparently our server was on break at the time we were seated. She didn't tell us that, nor did the person serving us, but we overheard her tell another table that was seated after us. She did come once to check up on us but unfortunately, it was too late and we were trying to forget the experience. During this time, there was a larger party of 6 that came in to dine and of course to accommodate, the workers arranged a table together; however, the way that this happened was that they were dragged the heavy tables and chairs together instead of picking them up. I'm not expecting no noise or for them to faintly put the table together, but if this is supposed to be a Michelin Guide restaurant and they want people to fully enjoy their experience, you wouldn't expect extremely loud screeching from the chairs and tables grabbed next to you. Food: 3/5 My mother got the spaghetti with added asada and it was good. My wife got the chilaquiles with tinga and it wasn't bad. The only thing that we wished was that there was more flavor to the tinga other than the salsa it was tossed in, but again, no real complaints. Come to my dish and the star of the show. They served candied pork belly with the rest of the dish in oil. The sides were tasty and flavorful but I wish it wasn't suiting in that oil. The pork belly had no chipotle flavor, and tasted just straight like agave glaze. In my opinion, it wasn't cooked that well either or maybe it was just how the dish was put together that accentuated the sweetness. The fat was rendered well but instead of the meat being crispy, it was burnt and dried out. This just soaked up all that sweetness and made the dish inedible. Since I had already shared the pork belly with my wife and mother, my wife ate the rest of my plate as it was fine like I mentioned, but I couldn't stand it anymore. Unfortunately, this didn't sit well in my body either as I ended up getting sick shortly after. I want to be fair. My instinct was to do a 1 star review but my family enjoyed their dishes and the restaurant vibes itself were very nice. Would I come back? Not if it were up to me but would I recommend it to others? Sure, but stay clear of that pork belly dish.
