    Carne asada Burrito mojado
    David L.

    Solid taqueria in Canoga Park. You get well flavored and portioned tacos, burritos, torta and various shrimp dishes at reasonable prices. More meat variety than most taquerias in the area. The cabeza and tripa are outstanding. Fast and friendly service.

    Good fresh Mexican food in Canoga Park, sometimes takes a minute but well worth it. Friendly staff, great prives.

    Taco plate (chicken, asada, pastor)

    The taco plate for $11 is an incredible value, beautifully plated, and was clean and chill inside, with the World Cup game on. The service was quick and really have no complain

    Asada torta, chilaquiles con huevo y chorizo

    Authentic Mexican taste. Friendly staff 10/10. Highly recommend. The inside was decorated very cute. It's giving home cooked meal vibe

    We've tried their chilaquiles and burrito and it's good! The salsa used for the chilaquiles tastes homemade, little bit of a sweet taste but not overwhelming. The inside of the restaurant was clean and the people who serviced me were very kind. The jamaica is fire! Definitely coming back here again!

    Wet Burrito/Red Sauce

    I have yet to try ANYTHING I don't end up falling in love with. The food is seasoned just right,, never salty or saucy. The staff are extremely kind and the other customers are always welcoming. I pray this business succeed's and is around for years to come!

    Burrito mojado with green salsa

Came in last night to celebrate a friend's birthday (they have happy hour all day Mon-Wed) and was pleasantly surprised. My friends started off ordering the HH guava margaritas, which they enjoyed. I ordered the coconut margarita (not on HH) a must !!!! Not overwhelmingly sweet and tasty! We ordered and rated the following dishes: Guacamole: 9/10 HH tinga Nachos: 7.5/10 (flavor was there but most chips were burnt) HH Taquitos papas: 9/10 great flavor and sauce HH steak tacos: 7.5/10 the corn and portion of meat to the taco was very good. The steak a little well done for my liking. Enchiladas verde: 9/10 great portion honestly enough for two to share. Rice and beans were okay. Beans a bit salty and rice was a bit bland. Would definitely come back for the apps and drinks! They also have brunch which looks like fun.

When we got there, there was a DJ playing 80s/90s throwbacks. It was good music and vibes, but it was quite loud, we could barely hear ourselves speak. Luckily he wasn't there too long, as brunch-time was over. We ordered Mango margaritas, chips & salsa, birria tacos, tinga taquitos, elote, and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Every single thing was delicious. I was highly impressed. This place will definitely be in the rotation. If I didn't live so far away, I would go for happy hour.

Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and it honestly feels like they made your meal right when you ordered it. The ingredients are top quality. The avocado is fresh, the purple onions add so much flavor, and every bite tastes fresh and well-balanced. The restaurant has a really peaceful, laid-back vibe that's perfect if you want to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The restaurant is clean, wheelchair accessible, and they have a convenient digital menu you can scan with your phone. The prices are fair for the quality of the food, especially considering how fresh everything is. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy Mexican-inspired meal, I completely recommend giving Loqui a try!

Overall, the food was good, but the chicken was dark meat and had more seasoning than I personally prefer. The rest of the bowl was tasty and well prepared. Definitely make sure to get salsa for the chips! The chips were crunchy and delicious! Parking was easy, and the restaurant was very clean. There was also a slightly strange smell inside that seemed like it may have been coming from outside, although I'm not completely sure. I would go back and try the barbacoa tacos next time. My friends really enjoyed their barbacoa bowls, so I'm curious to try it for myself!

They don't take reservations! The inside is decorated so fun! Lots of cool Mexican art as well as fresco paintings. It was packed at 5:30! Not a spot at the bar. It's small cozy and quaint while also being fun and festive. We got the table side guac, which was great, as well as two molcajetes for the table. They were the best I've ever had! We got some margaritas, both blended and regular. They had a good skinny marg. The beans and rice are FANTASTIC! (I always rate a Mexican place by their beans. If those are good, you know the rest will be good.) We had a really great time. The servers were extremely efficient. They move quickly. The place stays poppin' the whole night.

I ordered a chicken taco and it was very full (lots of chicken) the refried beans are good. Salsa was okay. My husband really liked it, the flavor was different, I didn't care for it. Save me from getting filled up . We did get guac made at the table - good. My sister ordered beef tacos but it came shredded and she didn't like them. She felt that was on her (that she didn't ask) so she didn't complain / can't give it an honest review. Like I said the atmosphere is great. It's very loud.

I asked for chips and salsa. They come in a bag with maybe 10 to 15 near burnt chips who knows when they were made, and the salsa was laughable about a quarter inch of the cup filled. * the salsas are hidden behind the ordering desk with sauces that must have three squirts in each container, never seen that again at a Mexican place. * the condiment station has no cups, you have to put it in a plastic bag even when eating in. * I had a burrito and it was mostly rice, unevenly proportioned and no flavor. * overall I was unimpressed with the cheap out on certain things with the prices they charge. I personally would never go back again, but the soup looked good at another table,perhaps it's worth a try.
