The vampiros tacos was what I ordered and wow they were so delicious!!! They aren't like your ordinary tacos and this spot is family-owned and are authentic. I loved the grilled onions because they were tender and full of that fatty flavor from the grilled meats. The tortillas with the tacos were crunchy (that's the vampiro style) and I actually like soft tacos more but I loved these. The fresh salsas are always a necessity for me and I came back for more. They are on the side so you can easily grab them after ordering. For pricing, I wish they weren't so expensive at $3 a taco but I at least feel like they packed the tacos with enough meat and toppings. The vampiro fries were also pretty delicious and had a great amount of flavor. This spot also does catering which is cool! They are open everyday except for Mondays.

My second time visiting this taco spot. My previous review talks about how much I like this place…read more But my first time here I only got the tacos. On this trip, I got my usual go to at taco trucks which is a couple of tacos and a mulita! Just as delicious as I remembered. I came through on the later side, so there wasn't that long of a line. The place was really chill on the people were really friendly. This place is located in Sylmar, which is where the 5 and the 405 converge. So if I haven't gotten food yet, it's a great stop on the way up to see my folks in the Bay Area. So glad I did. I think I should start making a tradition whenever I drive up.

It smelled like a completely different truck, and I was told it's under the same ownership--but it…read moredidn't feel that way at all. The truck itself looks different now, and unlike before, there were no prices posted outside, which was a red flag. The green sauce had an off texture. The tortillas were still good, but they were out of key meats like asada and cabeza, and no one could explain why. That left me ordering chicken (which was bland), pastor, and lengua--which ended up being tough. Overall, the experience was disappointing compared to what it used to be. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

I can't believe I've lived in Sylmar for almost 6 years and somehow never noticed this little gem!…read more From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've escaped to a little beach town in Mexico. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and exactly where you want to be on a hot summer day. The seafood was incredibly fresh and refreshing. I ordered the campechana kora, and my husband had the Aguachiles, both were absolutely delicious and perfect for the heat. What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind, patient, and welcoming. My husband has been practicing his Spanish, and instead of making him feel self-conscious, they were incredibly encouraging and sweet with him. It made the whole meal feel even more authentic and enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere that makes you forget you're just minutes from home. I can't believe it took me this long to find Ceviches, but it definitely won't be six years before my next visit!

I was looking for highly rated seafood restaurants on Yelp, and this restaurant was on the list…read more After reading the reviews, I got excited to give it a try. Parking was easy to find, which was a plus. The ambiance was casual, relaxed, and family-friendly. They have multiple TVs throughout the restaurant, and during my visit, they were showing a soccer game. I always like it when a restaurant broadcasts sporting events, even if it means the place sometimes gets very packed. I was really looking forward to trying their shrimp ceviche, but to my disappointment, they had run out by the time I arrived. I decided to go with my backup option instead: the camarones a la diabla. Camarones a la diabla is a dish consisting of shrimp cooked in a spicy red chile sauce. This restaurant also serves it with rice, toast, and a side of vegetables. As the name suggests, the shrimp are supposed to be spicy. As a spice enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for the best spicy dishes. The shrimp were cooked well, but they had a sweet taste. It almost seemed as if they had used ketchup in the sauce to tone down the heat. I'm honestly not a fan of mixing sweet with spicy, at least when it comes to protein. The vegetables that came with the dish were soggy and flavorless. The rice was okay but could have been better. The toast was pretty good, it was buttery, garlicky, and crispy. Overall, this dish wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best. The service during my visit was good. My server was attentive and helpful. He frequently stopped by to check if everything was okay. Overall, this experience didn't turn out exactly as I had expected, but it wasn't a bad experience by any means. I might return one day to try their shrimp ceviche.

This place came up on my feed or list of recommendations. Looked interesting since I've lived in…read moreSan Fernando all my life and havent heard of this spot. So I checked it out. Small place and only serving a very select few menu items during the week. Weekends is when there are more options / full menu. I got 2 pork tamales, 1 chicharron taco and 1 carnitas taco con todo. The carnitas by themself are decently cooked. The taco is served in a handmade tortilla that is super thick and dense. Im a fan of these style tortillas being a little more softer than this was. The taste of the masa is on point and great. The salsa that they equip in the taco is hot. Like almost habanero hot. Its almost unpleasant / inedible. The chicharron is just the skin and its smashed up into the salsa and pico de gallo that come with the tacos. Not much going on here and nothing great. Pork tamale was average. The size is on the smaller side or almost average. Carne to masa ratio is good. Masa taste is great. The meat and sauce is umami and deep but still your average flavors for red pork tamales.
