    I stumbled here randomly on my lunch break while I was at 711 next door so I decided to give it a shot. I was welcomed by the friendly owner whose name is Garo very nice guy. I ordered 4 tacos 2 asada and 2 pastor and each taco had an amazing taste one after another. The place was very clean and maintained along with the salsa bar and the food was great. I'll definitely be back to try the burrito next time.

    Don't let the small parking stop you!!! It's a great location to stop in and grab some Burritos and Tacos. They have plenty of seating and always something eye catching on the TV. They get your order correct every time and mark it to let you know what's in each container. Their service is amazing will continue to visit this location!! They got great Salsa, give you grilled green onion and have the best bean and cheese burritos. Cannot get enough!!

    Tucked away in a small shopping plaza on lassen desoto, a nice little hole in the wall Mexican food place. Usually get a carne asada combination plate. $17.47 after tax but it's worth it as you get bang for your buck. The owner is really nice. Food is good.

    Fast Taco is a small Mexican grill that sits at the corner of Lassen and De Soto in Chatsworth. It is located in a small strip mall. Inside one finds two round tables and wall side sitting areas, all of which have bar stools. This small restaurant is very simple, and it also has a salsa bar. All the salsas and condiments are prepared fresh in house ever day. The owner told me he has had this business since 42 years. I ordered two carne asada tacos upon entering and was told that I would also get complimentary chips. This is the first time I was never asked to pay after ordering at a counter. After sitting at my table with the chips and helping myself to the Rojo and Verde salsas I began to eat. Soon, the carne asada tacos arrived. And let me tell you, there was a lot of meat there. It comes with cheese (just a little for me), avacado and scallions on the side. I added chopped white onions to my taco and ate it with the salsa rojo (my favorite). The carne asada was prepared well and the tacos were good. Scallions could have been grilled more for char and better flavor. A few minutes after I began eating, I realized that I had not paid and went up to the counter saying so. The manager said I could do it later, gesturing for me to go back to my table. Service here was warm, courteous and very friendly. The manager was most polite and made you comfortable the moment you walked in and till you walked out. A very comfortable setting with high marks for pleasantness. This was a good find for me. Go give it a try.

    Chicken Tacos

    First I would like to say the STAFF is AMAZING!!!! My chicken tacos were very dry and they forgot my cheese. Some of the pieces were very hard I couldn't chew it. I prefer limes in stead of lemons. The restaurant is very clean and the staff was so nice I will give them another try! We will see.....

    Carne asada burrito. Really good!
    Betty H.

    I'm so glad I tried this place, I never even knew it existed considering it's hidden in 7 eleven parking lot. I only discovered it from yelping. The carne asada burrito is legit! I'm impressed and will be returning for sure! They even give you free chips and salsa unlike some places.

    I came here on a Wednesday morning to pick up a Carne Asada burrito, chips and guacamole to go. The two men working here, one is the cashier and the other is the cook, are both extremely friendly, hard-working, and you can tell that they love their jobs. I came in at the right time when the cook pulled off the fresh grilled Carne Asada. They have a wonderful and fresh salsa bar with pico de gallo, different levels of salsas, pickled vegetables, fresh onions, and cilantro. The guacamole is addicting! The level of spices and salt makes you want to go back for more so luckily you get a lot of chips to enjoy the guacamole. The burrito is packed with so many ingredients; rice beans, Carne Asada, cheese, and pico de gallo. I'm really enjoying the chips and guacamole and burrito. I definitely recommended. We return to try other things please support your local businesses. That's what makes America so great!

    Carne Asada Combo Plate
    Randy B.

    Always looking for a good Mexican food place, there are many around of course, but not all good. Fast Taco is one of the good ones out there, this was the first time we checked it out. I must say the positive reviews hold up. The staff was very friendly, I believe the owner was the one who helped me, very nice Guy, seems genuinely happy when working with his customers. Gave me plenty of containers for salsa, cilantro, Onions, etc. all the plates were clearly marked and he made it a point to recap everything, give me a big container of Salsa and a big bag of chips with my order. Thank you. We got a Pollo Burrito combo, an Asada Burrito Combo, a Two Taco combo with Carne Asada and a Carne Asada Plate Combo. All the combos come with Rice, beans, salad and sour cream. (The Carne Asada plate also come with guacamole . The Burritos also have guacamole added to them. The meats were flavored perfectly and the rice and beans were tasty, we were very full with food to spare and happy. Everything tasted excellent! I loaded up on the green salsa, nice and spicy. They also have a nice red salsa that had some spice and sweetness to it and another red salsa that has a great Smokey flavor. I loved them all. Also packed away some cilantro and radishes, everything was great. One tip I forgot to add, this is a "Cash Only" spot, so many people don't carry cash these days, so make sure you grab some before going. Enjoy!

    Asked for no pick, basically only pico in the entire burrito. Inedible.

    When will this place open again? Dying for their quesadillas & burritos

    THIS MONDAY !!!! 1.27.2020

    So just wanted to update ya'll.. they arent open and will be opening maybe sometime mid February 2019 😭😭. Anyone tried the Santa Monica location?

    Just drove by this past Saturday 12/28/19 and looks like they advanced heavily and will open soon. I have no ETA on when but should be early 2020.

    Ok, I'm dying for their nachos. Once I was in there and heard the boss talking about some place in Simi. Anyone know if the owners have another location to tide me over until they (please Lord) reopen?

    There's another Fast Taco in Santa Monica on Ocean Park run by another branch of the family. Food is very close in flavor and quality.

    Anyone know if they relocated or just closed? :(

    I placed a call to the number on their menu and here on Yelp and spoke with one of the owners. He told they would be reopening in 5 months, so hopefully in November.

    Whats the Sq ft?

    I'll take a tape measure with me next time I feel like getting a burrito

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried.

They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

And I live in Portland, which has really good vegetarian options. First of all, I could eat like 75% or more of the menu as a pescatarian.

I browsed the menu and had a really hard time deciding, but ended up on the cauliflower rajas taco, the crispy shrimp taco & the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The waiter recommended the crispy shrimp taco, but I actually enjoyed the vegetarian tacos more. I love cauliflower and poblano so that taco was a great starter. So much flavor and a variety of textures. The tortillas were super flavorful too. The potato taquitos came next and I am actually obsessed. The outside was perfectly crispy, the interior was soft, flavorful & cheesy. The sauce complimented it perfectly. I can not recommend them enough. The crispy shrimp taco was really good, but I also tried a crispy fish taco and would honestly get that over the shrimp. I think there was mango or something in the coleslaw of the fish taco because it had a really nice fresh flavor to it. Last, I had the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The mushroom shreds & the flavor were just perfect. Again, as a pescatarian I have really never had Korean BBQ because it's so heavily meat focused. I truly loved this taco. If I hadn't discovered it on my last night in LA, I might've come back on my short trip. The whole place is just a vibe and the food was beyond excellent.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.

    Some of the best (if not the best) Mexican seafood in L.A. in sort of a random littlr pocket worth…read moregetting parking tickets over. it's not 1-star Michelin for no reason! Order the Kanpachi taco: a shatter-crisp blue corn tortilla, molten fried cheese, silky buttery kanpachi, and a slick of smoky chili oil drizzled over top. The kind of taco you'll think about long after you've experienced it. You can't go wrong with the ceviches, cocteles, or aguachiles. The ceviche is bright with lime and the cocteles are lush and briny with a tomatoey kick, and the aguachiles hit with sharp citrus, fresh herbs, and it's a really decent amount of fish. If you're looking for a more traditional hot entree get the Filete al Cabrón: grilled sea bass with cilantro-lime rice, beans, and warm flour tortillas. Simple and so comforting. Fresh seafood can be hard to find in L.A., but Holbox does it like no other. Takes me back to Mexico City every time!
