    Birria soup almost like menudo
    D C.

    I have driven by this place for years and I am glad I finally stopped. Got 6 tacos and a Togo birria soup. First time I have ever tried goat soup and it's really good. I think it might be missing a little seasoning but glad I got it. Will definitely order it again

    Carne asada tacos (they ran out of limes so gave us lemons instead)

    Love this place. Great location in proximity to my office to get lunch for everyone--we go here regularly and have been for over a year. Service is always happy and quick, we never have to wait for our food. We always get carne asada tacos and the hamburger combos, and we've tried the tostada de ceviche, tortas, camarones al mojo de ajo, and nacho supreme--everything is delicious and has great flavor. My absolute favorite is their green salsa--it is so spicy and has amazing flavor. Highly recommend!

    It's good the 3 stars are because of the price you can still see the old prices which have doubled and sometimes staff is off putting

    El Portal is the place to eat in Strathmore. Their food is delicious and service excellent! I love their fries and cheesecake with horchata!

    Stopped by La Cocina de Doña Maggie and decided to go with 3 tacos gobernador. The tacos were…read morejuicy, not dry like you sometimes get elsewhere. You could tell they were made fresh, and whomever is the cook, knows how to season well. Service was on point and super attentive. They checked on me at least 4 times to make sure everything was good, which honestly made the whole experience even better. It's rare to see that kind of consistency in small local spots. The only thing I felt was missing was a more savory salsa to match those tacos. The one they gave me seemed like a salsa de chile de árbol -- spicy with good flavor, but I wished I had an extra salsa option that leaned more on the smoky or tangy side to balance out the richness of the gobernador. The place was quiet, comfortable, and relaxed -- no loud music or chaos, just a good spot to sit back and enjoy your food. Definitely worth a visit again. Next time, I might ask if they have any different salsas to try with those tacos.

    The location has a large parking lot. They were fairly busy on a Saturday morning/afternoon. There…read morewas only 2 wait staff so the service was okay. The food was really good. I wouldn't say it was the best Molcajete I've ever experienced it it was good. What was really good were the beans and homemade corn tortillas. Those were the highlights. Plenty of seating, extensive menu options, and a large parking lot. Plus it's close to the freeway. I'd recommend giving them a taste.

The restaurant was closed at the time as it was night time, but we were attracted by the bright lights of the food truck! We enjoyed the tacos and horchata and have been raving about it since. Knowing we'd be in the area once more on another sequoia trip, we knew we had to re-visit. Our Airbnb was located in Visalia and it looks like they have another location there as well, however, after calling, I confirmed that it isn't the exact same menu and it's owned by different brothers. Knowing this, I knew I had to go back to the exact location we went to last. This time around, I opted for 2 carne asada tacos and 2 Al pastor tacos. The tacos each come with raw finely chopped onion, pico de gallo and guacamole, with perfectly grilled onions and jalapeño on the side. The carne asada meat was perfectly cooked per usual and it had a delicious smoky flavor and the al pastor was just as delicious! Horchata - not too overpowering and perfectly sweetened. If I ever find myself in central cali, I'll be back in a heartbeat! Also, please note that the truck names tacos way is the same exact food as the restaurant called Los arbolitos, the restaurant just has an expanded menu.
