Suadero tacos...get them!
Carlos M.

Better known as the Taco Spot at Salt Lake & Santa Ana by the railroad tracks. They have moved, upgraded and have a better parking set up. This week is opening weekend and they're running $1 tacos. They got a taco truck set up in the front of their establishment, a taco grill and a sit down in the same place. I love their Suadero tacos, heck this is the only place I've seen around here that has Suadero. Their horchata is top notch, get the Large and thank me later. They now have a lot more items to choose from: Asada fries, Tortas, burritos, quesadillas... My go to taco spot in this area. Meat is always juicy and tender. Friendly service and late hours. Swing by and check them out.

The family and I have been going here for years. The quality of food and prices are amazing! We continuously order tacos al pastor, asada, mulitas and their burritos! Plenty of meat, beans, sides and sauces. They also have agua frescas, which are delish! I truly love their tacos because they are not greasy and the meat quality is clean. No fat! Obviously we have tried other taco places but nothing has been able to too El Pariente. LOVE IT! enjoy

You probably can't really tell what most of this is, but I highly recommend the brisket and mixto!

This place definitely serves some of the best tacos in LA. We got the cabeza, asada, pastor, brisket, and mixto. My favorite were the mixto and brisket - both were tender and flavorful. Their red salsa goes very well with their tacos. They ran out of lengua and chorizo when we were here so I'll probably try that next time. Service here is awesome too, the cook is super friendly. Can't wait to come back!

Probably some of the best tacos I've ever had. The meat and tortillas are so good. The salsas are super good. I like the habanero one cus it has a good kick. I recommend getting a cucumber water to go with your tacos!

Not fresh. Reheated dry  chewy oily meat.

This used to be my favorite taco place in Huntington Park. I would drive down 30 miles to eat at this place but the last 2 times I have eaten here the meat has not been fresh. Its reheated and they add extra oil. It's gone from excellent to really bad. Very disappointed. When you start letting go of your business the clientele will go down with it. Hopefully they fix it.

Lot of variety

I was recommended this place & the food is great! Awesome food! However I asked to speak to the manager ROSSIE because I got my order wrong and she was so rude and told me I had to pay if I wanted them to changed my order and had to wait 20 more minutes because other people where ahead of me! She was so disrespectful! Worst customer service! Not going there again. The worst

A great local taco truck! They offer delicious tacos, burritos, tortas and quesadillas at affordable prices. King Taco is down the street but this little truck beats the prices and the quality of the meats.

The food is delicious and the service is so good. The girl in the front is so friendly. By far the best taco place I've ever been to

Must try the tacos de tripa! They were so good and crunchy! Also the asada tacos were bomb. We'll definitely be coming soon.

I literally just came to buy some tacos and a quesadilla, got home and some of my tacos were missing. I literally paid $31 for nothing.

Truly exceptional food and equally great people! Grandmas House Catering catered a recent event…read morewith ~100 people for lunch + cocktail reception and we received rave reviews! Rhonda and Mario were a delight to work with (and we had a few updates as our event grew!) for both the front end and back end. And again - the food was 10/10. Can't wait to host something again so we can use their services!

I was really looking forward to trying some authentic American Soul food after our office manager…read moreannounced that we were ordering catering from Grandmas House, and I researched the background behind this place. I wasn't expecting fried chicken, but I have to say this place offered way more healthy options and variety than I was expecting. The highlights of my experience were the fried chicken, corn bread, and the super cheesy mac n cheese. The herbs and the crispiness of the chicken was definitely a league above any thing I've had at fast food places that serve fried chicken. The seasoning was done just right without any of bit of saltiness. I am not sure what kind of cheese was used, but the mac n cheese had a firmness to the cheese that was refreshing (I don't like my mac n cheese too runny), and the flavor profile of the cheese tasted of a high end caliber. Corn bread was just the best darn corn bread I've had, with mild sweetness, strong corn flavor, and even good bits of corn mixed in. Very moist and tender, yet crumbles a bit when you handle it. Mixed greens were crisp and fresh and really balanced out the meal with much needed fiber for me. I felt the mushroom and string beans were pretty good, but nothing earth shattering. The shrimp on skewer sticks I felt were a little dry and plain so I don't recommend this as highly as the other items. Sheperd's pie was made from a ground beef layer along with a top layer of mashed sweet potato. The potato layer was very delicious, but the bottom meat layer could have used a little less salt IMO. Overall I had a very positive experience, and even my kids sampled a little of everything. They echoed my sentiments, except for the sheperd's pie, which my daughter was not a fan of.

I cannot recommend Bites & Bashes enough! This was a catered event for donors and special guests…read more It was a pleasure coordinating with Katie and Mariah. Quick responses and seamless customer service. Ordered for 100 guests and we were impressed by the amount of food received; there was more than enough to feed our additional last-minute guests we hadn't included in the original headcount. Everything was so light & colorful and tasted just as delicious as it looked. Appreciated the beautiful floral touches to the platters. We got the seasonal fruit platter, assorted viennoiseries, chia pudding, yogurt parfaits and coffee/tea. Per Katie's recommendation we added cookies--which were a huge hit with guests (and staff)! The menu was curated for dairy free/GF/vegan options. The delivery with Ramon went smoothly: right on time, clear communication via text and help with the set up. The whole Bites & Bashes team did such a professional job. You won't regret working with this family-owned business!

Bites and Bashes was one of the easiest decisions I made during wedding planning, especially as…read moresomeone who DIYed our entire wedding! From the menu options to working directly with Mariah, who patiently answered my hundred questions and was so accommodating with all the little tweaks I made to our order, to the delivery and presentation, everything turned out so wonderfully. And, most importantly, our guests LOVED the food! We went with the Mexican menu, along with some appetizers and the Gochujang tofu. My only regret is that I didn't order more of the tofu! We had a few vegetarians in attendance, but EVERYONE was eating it. My husband and I served ourselves last, so by the time we made it to the buffet, there was barely any left. Honestly, though, I think that says everything about how much our guests loved the food! It just gives us an excuse to host another big party so we can have Bites and Bashes cater again. I truly can't recommend them enough. Everyone we worked with was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional, and the entire experience was wonderful from beginning to end. JUST WOW! Thank you, Bites and Bashes, for helping make our wedding day so delicious and special! 5 stars isn't enough of a high rating.
