The crispy shrimp tacos filled with cheese were so delicious, I can't wait to try the birria version. I asked the lady which is better... She replied they're so different. Both delicious choices for sure! read more

When I am looking for some tacos for Taco Tuesday this is one of the places that I go to! In times of prices being raised this is still a place I can count on for my 99 cent or $1 ( I can't remember how much they are ) tacos. They are much smaller tortillas they are tacos Al vapor (steamed) but I enjoy them. I usually get the asada and Al pastor. Good price, and usually filled with a good amount of meat. Parking can be difficult since the lot is shared with lots of other spots so I would go early if you are going for taco Tuesday! You can also call ahead, I do that often. read more

THIS PLACE IS A "MUST TRY" It's hard finding honest, reliable people who truly understand and care. The owner is amazing. I recommend this place. I am definitely going to go through the menu and try everything on it! read more

Olivia had great customer service and was very helpful and had a sweet personality. A the food was Amazing.

Overall I really love that they serve breakfast burritos all day. They have a fair price for them as well some other paces charge a lot and they aren't that good but this place is my top 3 pick for breakfast burritos. If I need to pick up they get it ready pretty fast. read more

We came to this place on 2/24/26 to try something different, but we're really disappointed,Service wise the lady who take the orders has attitude, after you order be ready to wait no less then 25 minutes to get your order,tables are dirty definitely NOT recommended stay away from place. read more

The food is great. Taco Tuesday you can't beat it all the meats are good. My go to is the carnitas burrito so good. I know they a couple locations. read more

Good food, gave a lot for chorizo con huevos. Price is average so nothing too expensive but not too cheap.

Small parking lot. I almost got hit while going to the restaurant. No togo menu & soft rubbery tortillas. What else can I say about the negative things about this place? The food tastes good & the portions can be bigger. read more

I had originally left this review on the WRONG EL BUKANAS in Hacienda Heights. Just corrected to this one in Azusa. This review is a big Wow! This little hole in the wall looks like a family owned business... So good. My dad was craving TACOS DE VAPOR. Went to a place in La Puente by his house and they didn't have them.Next closest EL BUKANAS in Azusa. Had tripas and carnita tacos as well as a wet carne asada burrito in green sauce. Hands down the best I've had in a while. Will definitely go again. The habanero salsa was a great recommendation as well for the young lady that took our order. Sorry no pictures. Next time I'll share pictures. Best tripas I've had read more

$1 tacos on tuesdays! They also have .85¢ crispy chicken tacos(daily)...they say they bread it in house but im pretty sure theyre full of it, but for the price point they're great for a quick and cheap bite... read more

This little hidden gem is great. Food is delicious, especially their tacos de canasta. They have chicharron, picadillo, papas and chorizo y frijoles. Great deals on Taco Tuesday. read more

Service was friendly, the inside reminds me of a Mexican house hold i enjoyed it. Will say the area is busy and compact so id say be cautious definitely if driving. Food was amazing definitely going soon! read more

This location is in a strip mall off of Azusa.. it's a small store front with about four tables. I tried the aguachiles, wet burrito, kesabirria, and the tacos el gobernador. The wet burrito was the standout for me which is drenched in green sauce that is not over the too spicy. There is also avocado slides that are a nice touch to add to the burrito. I am adding this to our roster for our taco / Mexican food cravings! read more

Great food great service! Olivia was so nice and awesome! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Great all around!! Great Cabeza tacos and on Tuesday they're only 1$!!!!! Love this place -Lawrence read more

My first visit but not my last! I tried the tacos al vapor & de canasta. I personally thought los de canasta were more flavorful. Kudos to the super friendly staff and the agua de guayaba was a treat! The carne asada could have used more seasoning, but the carnitas were pretty good. read more

So here's the bad first, and it's not really bad. But enough for taking a star off. Their delivery hours with 3rd party delivery platforms are not up to date and not consistent. For example, ordering through Yelp that uses DoorDash the hours are inaccurate. Yelp might say they aren't taking orders past a certain hour via DoorDash but if you go directly to DoorDash app they are still open taking orders for delivery, or they are closed when they are open and viceversa. Or I'll order from grub hub, Yelp, or directly from DoorDash during their posted operating hours and my order gets cancelled 5 minutes before my given delivery eta. But if I go to UberEasts, I can put in my order and viceversa. I've requested that all the 3rd party delivery platforms confirm and update their operating hours with the business so it's correct with the delivery provider I chose so I don't have to get order cancellations each time before using another delivery platform or get cancelled because they closed for delivery orders when their posted delivery hours say the opposite. I love this place! But the incorrect hours are a little annoying. The GOOD: They have the BEST Gobenador tacos I've ever had! My son and I are hooked on them and love love love that green salsa that comes with it. I try to only order them once every couple months otherwise I'll turn into a blimp. The tortillas are handmade with the perfect amount of shrimp and cheese and grilled to perfection. They aren't tight with their shrimp either. These tacos are a must if you want to splurge a little with comfort food. We like other food on their menu as well like their aguachiles, and my son also likes their carne asada nachos, and we're still exploring. But the Gobenador tacos are a must, especially with that green salsa. read more

Great tasting food! Quick service. I will definitely be coming back soon for more fries since the portion size was perfect for me. Cashier was very nice as well. read more

Been going here for a while now. Food and service has always been great, and still is. Up until recently, i ordered the chicken tacos... which was my favorite. I find out, they use breaded chicken now..... ??? And what a coincidence, they started selling chicken sandwiches. Trying to save money??? Regardless, its not good. Their original chicken was great! Some of the best. Now its gone for "cafeteria" type of breaded chicken. Hopefully they bring it back read more

Love taco Tuesday always get a variety of different tacos for the fam never had any bad service here wish they gave you a choice from regular chicken or breaded chicken because I like the breaded chicken sometimes as most places do t have that but good food and good aquas specifically the guava one read more

Good service. Order over the phone all 6 plates great and. We will order again next time we in Azusa. Just one observation Carne Asada little burned but it was eatable. read more

So, for the people who have given this place 5 stars... y'all's moms cooked bland food and it shows. Ever heard of flavor. Ok so I don't really like putting any place down because everyone's taste in food is different. I mean you have people that live eating pigs feet and donkey testicles... not comparing this food to any of that. But I felt I went in expecting too much and coming away disappointed. Felt it lacked flavor. Sorry to say, in my sole opinion... I wouldn't recommend this place. I may give it another shot in the future to see if I'm wrong. But for now I'm saying go to albertos instead. Sorry. read more

This place is really good. Meat is nice and flavorful compared to other local Mexican restaurants. Will be trying other entrees.

Went to this place today and honestly the tacos de canasta were just terrible! We ordered the picadillo and it was just gross. The meat was hard and so was the tortilla. We threw it away. Will NOT come back to this place. read more

Late review but better late than never. We ordered from this place for delivery. I must say everything was so good. Tacos De canasta and tacos El gobernador. Plus a pineapple agua fresca. The sauces are amazing. We will order from this establishment again for sure. It's a must-try. read more

Wow this place was once a favorite Don't know what happened,? The food is not the same, the tacos are dry and no taste, just like the cashier!!! the customer service is obviously not monitored or managed!! The lady is rude and talks to customers like they are bothering her makes faces as you are ordering and interrupting you as you are ordering actually rushing you .do not recommend this place. read more

Horrible service! I will never come back to this restaurant again! I asked for my shrimp to be put on the side and they wouldn't do it for me! The food was horrible and not worth it! Nothing but bad vibes in this place! No wonder it's always empty! read more

75 cents a taco. Sure the tacos are small, but since they're affordable you can always buy one or two more. Carne asada was flavorful, cooked well, and packed into my tortilla. Definitely more meat then I'd be getting at some other taco places. My favorite part of the taco? Adding the habanero salsa to it. It packs a punch (as it should). Ordered the agua fresca and was disappointed on the first sip when I realized it was canned pineapple that was used to make the Pina. Way too sweet, but not completely undrinkable after adding lots of lemon juice. read more
