I've been here before and usually dine outside, but this time I really got to appreciate the interior. The culture and atmosphere really wrap around the restaurant. I ordered #21, which lets you try different items all at once. I had the enchilada, relleno, and tacos, and as always, everything was pretty great. Our server was very thorough and recommended this plate for us to try. Overall, I loved it! We also ordered another beef taco, and it definitely did not disappoint. read more

Mediocre and expensive BUT customer service was truly disgusting. The lady at the counter had no smile and no customer service skills. No response or reply when we asked her questions and she was sooooo upset when we wanted more than 2 sauces. Also disgustingly hot in there. Burrito was so plain and the tortilla was grainy. Definitely won't be coming back because of her and the mediocre food. Also looks like a bunch of people have complained. OWNERSHIP you should really look into replacing her (even if she's part of ownership) your business would be so much better without her. read more

Food was mediocre, but the worst part was the service when I showed them the piece of stone size of my fingernail came out of my burrito almost breaking my tooth, the guy was looking at me like wanting to stab me instead of saying a fake sorry at least!!! This was maybe a year ago, but I just couldn't let this go simply because of the rudeness not even for the nasty thing happened Damn it, I still remember the feeling like I ate mud and got humiliated for that!! read more

No idea why this place is a thing. Pack your heartburn meds. Not talking the place down, but you're better off elsewhere. Sorry my guy.

Blown away at the first bite! Incredibly delicious! Definitely a hole in the wall you don't want to miss out on. I think they have the best authentic burritos in town- the meat was juicy and flavorful. Very generous amount of meat too which I appreciated because it was clearly the start of the show. Cheese and beans paired well, everything was well balanced. Their salsas are great and not too spicy. My favorite is the red salsa. And I do have to give their chicken tacos a shout out, definitely underrated and not dry at all. You have to check this place out. Cash only. read more

I don't know who it was that made the tortas we ordered last night but it was definitely NOT the same quality and taste we're used to. Being a regular for many years my family and I definitely noticed the drop in quality :/ very disappointing. We ordered a couple of the asada tortas and were very frustrated... read more

This was the closest authentic Mexican restaurant that I was near during my quick vacation in LA. I was specifically looking for a breakfast burrito and they did not disappoint. I specifically look for bacon breakfast burros. Im glad I came across these guys as the burrito hit the spot. Loved all of their salsas as well. They offer the fresh radishes to go too. Will certainly come back here if im ever in the area. read more

Best asada burritos and tacos that I've ever had. I don't know what they do different but their beef is so flavorful and tender every time. I've been coming here for almost two decades and I feel bad that I'm just now leaving them a good review. A well deserved 5 stars! read more

Good hole in the wall taco spot. Being a Bay Area native, I had to come here and compare the asada burrito to what we are blessed with up North. Although this is very different than what I am used to, I must admit that the asada burrito is great. The meat is juicy and flavorful. The tortillas are real good, maybe handmade? Tacos are pretty small, but at $2.50 each you cant really complain. Pescado ceviche sucked lol, tasted like tostitos salsa. I would come back for another asada burrito when I come back to the area read more

Simply the best, always on point. Not only bang for your buck but Fucken Delicious! read more

This is the spot. Always great service and great tacos. I moved away but still miss El Sauz

As long as this place exists, cash will always be king. My father was treated to a burrito here last week by a very cheap and picky lady. He's also not easy to please when we talk about carne asada. It was my first time here and I'm not a burrito-eater, ever. Burritos are for men; Working men with big appetites. But I decided to eat like a man today and ordered the carne asada burrito con todo. Holy mother of baby Jesus! It was soooo damned good! I don't want to call it "flavorful" like any other peasant. Just come and taste them yourself. You'll leave feeling happy to be alive during these shitshow times. Even if temporarily. The fact that people of all ethnicities and sexes come here convinced me this is not your average taco joint -- Firemen, day laborers, Armenian men and women, young and old, phone orders that are non-stop... this explains why the existence of this restaurant has not been squashed yet by Big Boring Building thieves. I'll definitely be back. I did not see my favorite meat of carnitas offered, but the carne asada can be my Sancho. And prices are reasonable. read more

Smallest torta ever! For $12.00 you get a soft billion with 10 beans and hardly any meat in it. Oh and ONE slice of an avocado. Portion size was crazy for $12.00. Lots of mayo, huge disappointment. read more

My favorite Mexican place in Glendale. No other comes even close. Tacos are good but Burrito and Torta on another level. I have still not ate a burrito or torta that hits the same as El Sauz's does. I personally get no beans on my torta everything else and always burrito and torta with asada. read more

I'm all about authenticity, and El Sauz never disappoints--seriously, their tacos are legendary, the kind that make you question all other tacos in life. But please... for the love of tacos, change the tiles and the floor! Maybe give the tables and chairs a makeover too--they've been the same for 20 years. The food is amazing, and a fresh, updated look would make us love you even more and keep coming back! read more

El Sauz is truly delicious and authentic food. I always need to stop here when I'm in the area. It's a cash only spot but they have an ATM inside for the convenience.

Went here around dinner time and had to try there tacos after all the hype I've heard! This place sucks! Five people ahead of me and had to wait a half hour for them! Little tacos and not that great! You are better off going to el tapatio in Burbank! This place sucks you've been warned! read more

Here's an update. STILL the BEST tacos in Glendale. I've tried a bunch. Tents, trucks, stands, whatever... El Sauz (no. 1 on Chevy Chase and San Fernando) is by far, the best around. Carne Asada Tacos Quessidilla Ceviche Carne Asada Burritos Breakfast Burritos! The second best taco place in Glendale: El Sauz (no. 2 on Colorado and Pacific) read more

This is by far the best Mexican food in all of LA. I actually never preferred Mexican food over other until I was introduced to El Sauz 4-5 years ago and I've been eating it at minimum 5-6 times a month. It's just a 10/10. The flavors, the freshness, the quality it's DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend read more

Places like this are one of the many reasons I LOVE CALIFORNIA!!! Small hole in the wall spot for amazing street tacos! Fresh tortillas with all the fixings. Fresh homemade salsa. Cash only so come prepared. Nothing fancy here just AMAZING tacos! read more

An absolute staple of Glendale night food. The carne Adar and Al pastor tacos are incredible. They have one of my favorite tortas.

I was in the area and we were craving tacos like usual and I went on yelp and found this little place. I walked in on a Friday around noon time. There was a few people ordering and eating. This place is CASH only, but do have an ATM on site. The young man, I believe the owner is super friendly and welcoming. I appreciate how kind he was and he made sure everyone was acknowledged. We tried the al pastor and the asada. Both were good but my al pastor didn't have much sweetness from the pineapple as we'd like. Food came out pretty quick and if I was in the area, I would definitely come back. read more

I am sad to give 1 star to this place, because it used to be one of my go-to spots, and won't be going anymore. I don't really post on yelp unless I have had very negative experiences multiple times and/or it's unsafe - Bad service example: Ordered horchata with food. Food was ready to grab, there was no horchata. Asked where's horchata. They said no more horchata. I said... Okay, then how long will it take to make new batch? They said they'll give Jamaica instead cuz that's available. I said I don't want Jamaica, I ordered and paid for horchata. Why didn't you tell me there was horchata before? They do a BIG SIGH and AUDACITY TO ROLL THEIR EYES then comply to make new batch... THAT TOOK 30 MINUTES. Unsafe examples: I've found plastic in the food. I've probably unknowingly consumed them thinking they were onions (see picture). Also, the meat tastes funky/old at times. There were babies/kids in the restaurant, so was very upset to think they might've consumed plastic and funky meat. read more

I've been coming to El Sauz Tacos in Glendale for years, and it's hands down one of my favorite taco spots. The food is consistently great--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from authentic Mexican street-style tacos. My go-to order is the asada burrito and a few tacos on the side. They never disappoint. The staff here are always friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better every time I visit. They also have a good amount seating that's comfortable. That said, there are a couple of things that can be a little inconvenient. First, El Sauz isn't available on any delivery apps, so if you want their food, you have to make the trip to Glendale. It's worth it, but sometimes I wish I could just order in. Second, they only accept cash, so be sure to bring some with you because they don't take card payments. Despite those small drawbacks, I keep coming back because the food and service are that good. If you're in the area, definitely give them a try! read more

Loved the pastor burritos from here and I would definitely come back to try more items! The red salsa pairs well and I love that they offer jalapeños and radishes on the side. Just remember it's cash only! read more

Amazing food been going here for 20+ years. I'm giving 3 stars because they don't answer phones and when they do rarely you still have to wait 20-30 minutes. read more

This cash-only spot is a gem both in price and quality. I got a taco of almost every kind of meat, and each meat was cooked perfectly and uniquely. The chicken had its own flavor and seasoning, as did the carne asada, the cabeza, etc. I also love quesadillas, but I've never been so blown away by a flavorful, meat-filled quesadilla before! For only $10, I definitely got my fill, and it didn't feel like globs of cheese with some lackluster meat pieces strewn about. It was a good balance between onions, cheese, al pastor,... El Suaz Tacos really knows what they're doing. As I was waiting for my food, I overheard some regulars talking about the restaurant, saying they've been going here since childhood, they trust this location, they love the service, and the people know how to cook. This place is their taco home, and I can see why! They have their own parking lot, so parking was easy, and they have 7 tables that seat 4 people each, but most people were just sitting down waiting for their food. ATM machine located inside as well. Really happy that I stumbled upon this place during my quick trip to LA! read more

Solid tacos for under $2 at this cash only spot. We got the asada, lengua & cabeza. Partner loved the lengua and cabeza and I thoroughly enjoyed both the asada & lengua but preferred the asada. Good salsas & the prices can't be beat. Food came out fast and service was good. Would def stop in again when in the area. read more

Not sure how this place is sitting at 4 stars, it should be 6 out of 5. Hands down, the best burritos money can buy. I'm an LA native and I've tried just about everywhere, and nothing comes close to El Sauz. The carne asada is juicy and packed with flavor, exactly how it should be. And the sauces... honestly, the best you'll find anywhere. Nobody does it like they do, which makes the name make perfect sense. read more

10/10 recommend. Everything here is delicious. My personal favorite is the carne asada tacos and bacon breakfast burrito.

A spot in Glendale, ca that's been there since the 90's. Bomb burritos, tacos. Small spot. Can only fit like 10-15 heads for dine in. CASH ONLY!!!!! They have atm inside. I've been coming here for a minute. I always have dealt with the nice Latin lady at night. There is a youngster that I've seen also That has great customer service. I do recommend. I know there are a few taco spot in Glendale, but el Sauz is one of the O.G's. They took Gina's tacos out!! Come try. Any one correct me if I'm wrong but the ONLY taco spot that has 2 locations in Glendale,ca. read more

Very good tacos very popular in the community would highly recommend their food. Not the clean place but worth going

The best tacos in Glendale! I would never go anywhere else. Their flavor is unmatched.
