    Breakfast and Combinations

    Food was good but a bit pricey. Staff was friendly and there was plenty seating. It is cash only and they have an ATM in the lobby.

    Breakfast Burrito - Jamon/Ham

    I should have got Tacos!, I should have got Tacos!, I should have got Tacos!..... I came here one early AM and while I should have got Tacos! I wanted Huevos, they do have a small Breakfast selection BUT NO Breakfast Burritos on the menu, I figure they got tortillas so I asked and they said yes! Breakfast Burrito - Jamon con Huevo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=JRTnvDgwc7C9_efJhB0Thg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg At first look a good size burrito, filled with Egg, Ham, Beans and Cheese https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=vQjRAq1_xd8vhoaua4D3uw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg this thing was like 80% Beans! and they were not seasoned well... couple of eggs scrambled, not much ham and the cheese? it was like hunting for where's Waldo! NOW I'm a Frijolero BUR if I wanted a Bean Burrito that's what I would have ordered, VERY bland burrito and their salsa roja save it from the trash. 1-Star Breakfast Burrito - Machaca con Huevo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=2sAso6v6MK7P3BS9cMOLNw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Eggs, Machaca, Beans, Cilantro, Onions and Salsa Does this one get any better?? https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=g9spyYQH8XOBKZbGLWsTxA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg yeah it looks good, where's the Machaca? a few small pieces are in there somewhere. 1-Star Salsa Roja - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-llama-panorama-city?select=N6g5yo_sBal8qcCaBhw5Xw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Some good stuff, without this the burritos would have gone in the trash. In general a 1-Star place I'd be one and done..... I should have just got Tacos! so I shall return someday....

    This is the most disgusting restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. The food is awful and the bathroom is even worse. The guacamole is watery, the lettuce has such strong preservatives it doesn't even taste like lettuce. Service is slow. When I sent the bathroom pictures to the owners he said it was clean. Makes you wonder what the kitchen is really like. Don't go unless you have a death wish

    Al pastor tacos with "everything" on it
    Alan B.

    Was waiting for a friend and got hungry, saw this place near by and I was craving tacos!! Went in and got super fast service! I got 3 al pastor tacos with everything on them and I wasn't disappointed! The meat was juicy and fresh and the salsa they used wasn't too spicy. I felt it was just right. They have a great selection of different meats to choose from so you can put them in tacos or burritos or tortas. Will for sure be coming back again. Tacos were priced average but so worth it! Keep up the good work!!

I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

    First time at El cocinero, planning on coming back again and again and again!!!!!!!…read more I was informed it was all and everything is vegan which I love tacos and to find a vegan Mexican spot that is all vegan came in clutch. This place had everything you'd need and tastes so good for a vegan spot. You would be able to fool me and tell me this is actual meat and I'd believe it. That's how good it was! I got the quesadilla (half asada, half al pastor) omg that was the best thing I have ever had. The cheese melts and pulls just like regular Cheese. The meat was so juicy and good flavor. I'd get it again and again But I'd probably try the tacos next time along with the quesadilla tbh. I also got the flan which was tbh less sweeter than a regular flan. But hey I still loved it, I don't complain about it. It was still delicious. (Funny incident, I ordered the flan at the front and paid for it.i wasn't told anything else by the guy at the register. SoThen went back to the table and Waited and waited and waited for a good 20 minutes, till I asked about it and was told that I can just grab it out of the refrigerator!!!! Smh, as much as I was upset as much as I for some reason just found it funny. So don't do the same mistake I did and just go grab it right after you pay for it.) Overall, I loved everything and all the things about this place. Nice seating areas, nice environment , helpful workers,convenient parking! And most importantly, delicious food. Definitely be visiting this place again!

I stumbled upon Monarca on Yelp and we decided to try it out! We arrive and are nicely greeted by one of the employees at the counter. The inside was clean and well kept which we love. My wife and I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and the green chilaquiles. She got the Deluxe burrito and I got the chorizo. We bring them home and open up the bag and these things are MASSIVE! In the best way! We begin taking bites and are both amazed. Me a little bit more. I really really enjoyed this burrito. Maybe because it has rice instead of potatoes, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. My wife also really enjoyed hers; she gave it a 7.5 out of 10. I give my burrito a 9/10. Our chilaquiles were a whole other story and flavor profile. The carne asada that came with it was life changing. Whatever seasoning they used on tha carne asada is perfect. My wife was deeply impressed. The sauce, the chips, the eggs, beans and rice were all very very good as well. All complimented each other very well. If you're ever in the van Nuys area, please stop here for breakfast, you won't regret it!

Overall, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all so tasty and affordable for the amount of food they serve.

It tends to get very smoky inside since people frequently order fajitas (which come out sizzling hot every time). Parking can sometimes be a struggle depending on how busy it gets.

Unfortunately, the prices have skyrocketed. I guess it's a sign of the times like a lot of places. S&B used to be known for good Mexican food at an affordable price. The food is still delicious (I love their beans and bean dip, and my bf really likes their rice). Just not in love with these prices. To get the most value, if you order one of the burritos, you can easily split it into two meals because they're pretty big. Got the chicken fajita burrito and had half for lunch yesterday and today. Suddenly, an almost $25 burrito turns into a couple of lunches for under $15.

When I come here, I usually order the cheese enchiladas. They're the best I've ever had. Perfect flavor, cheesiness, and consistency (thickness/density). This time around, I decided to try out something different, the Carne Asada plate. It was fantastic. Usually, restaurants use cheaper cuts of meat like skirt or flank steak for their carne asada. Maybe I'm losing my mind, but the carne asada I had looked and tasted a lot like ribeye steak, which happens to be my favorite cut of beef. For my drink, I had the horchata like I normally do. The horchata here is something special. It's thicker and creamier than your average horchata and packs a cinnamon punch. The only knock on this place is the parking situation. There's limited parking relative to the size of the establishment. You may have to find street parking around the park nearby. But don't let something like that discourage you from checking this place out. This place is worth it. I drive up to the Valley from the South Bay just to visit this restaurant.
