    Came here a few nights ago when craving a burrito and I'm so thankful for the affordability and quality of the food here. I also love that they have vegan options. It's a cute spot where you can order at the window and then pick it up minutes later, as they are always really quick to make the food. I got the soyrizo veggie burrito and loved the flavor and heartiness of the soyrizo and how it was spiced and seasoned. It definitely dominated the burrito but the veggies stood out in having their own seasonings and being cooked to perfection. The beans and rice were also very hearty and really mixed well with everything. I got an avocado salsa to add in and it really had a nice creamy buttery flavor to the burrito. I also really like how they included some chips, which were perfectly crispy. Everything tasted fresh and it seemed like a lot of care was taken in making the burrito. The service was very friendly and accommodating. There was plenty of outdoor seating when I arrived, but I opted to eat my meal in the comfort of my home. Parking was super easy in their lot, although since they are located on the busy street of Coldwater right by the 101 exit, I struggled to get out of the lot. I highly recommend this restaurant as a lovely Mexican joint with options for all dietary needs!

    Breakfast Burrito

    I came here with my dad when our power was out to grab some breakfast. I drive past Hugo's all the time and they've been in business for all my life so we decided to check it out. We came on a Wednesday and they have an all day Wednesday special of burritos being $9 or $10 but this seems like their normal burrito prices so I was a bit confused by the deal?? Parking is challenging; there is a way to access parking in the back if you go through the small side street before Coldwater and you can also park across the street on Coldwater for free 1 hour parking. There is limited outdoor seating available. Breakfast burrito (with pinto beans and pico de gallo) 3.5/5, ok so this would have been a 4 if I ordered a spicier sauce than pico de gallo. The burrito was freshly made and savory, I would get this again.

    Friendly service & clean restaurant. Never noticed the indoor sitting area next to the order window. Ordered chicken tacos, brc, quesadillas and chicken burrito. The chicken was dry on both items. The quesadillas and Brc tasted good. Will give this place another shot next time I'm in the area.

    My favorite taco spot in Los Angeles. Fresh ingredients, nice staff, lots of vegetarian and GF options in addition to their amazing carne asada!

    Honestly for a place that's literal name includes tacos I'm sad that the tacos were mid. Ordered 4 chicken tacos w green salsa Ordered 4 chicken tacos w pico since apparently the red salsa is extremely hot Came with a small side of tortilla chips Ordered sour cream and rice and beans. The tacos were dry it hurt my soul. I guess my expectations of Mexican food is for it to be flavorful, juicy, and moist. Do not expect taqueria style tacos. They don't give the carrots and jalepenos or grilled onions on the side. Chicken was salty. The pico de gallo on the tacos was NOT IT. Maybe order something else, like the burrito. God I want to cry. I'm a certified big back stuck in a Pilates body so this made me sad inside.

    In the land of tacos, this place is a real loser!! I ordered two tacos on taco Tuesday. The Carnitas were so dry and stringy that it was inedible, and the Carne Asada was incredibly hard to chew because the meat was so tough. Yuck

    Do you love tacos as much as I do? Then I highly recommend hitting up Hugo's for some yummy tacos. This taco stand is located on the south west corner of Cold Water Canyon & Riverside Drive. A few tables are outside and they have indoor seating to the right of the stand. Perfect for hanging with friends or doing some work. A stack of games ready to be played and a fresh water dispenser are also available. Hugo's Tacos are made with only the freshest organic ingredients. The guacamole and side of fries are a must:) *Taco Tuesday Specials *Gluten free and vegan options *Street parking

    I had the potato taco with a soft shell and honey chipotle salsa-- my favorite part was definitely the salsa! It wasn't too spicy and tasted really good. The taco itself didn't feel exceptional but was enjoyable, I think if I went again I'd try one of the meat options as the potato may not have been the best filling to showcase their capabilities. Service was good, the staff was friendly and my order came out quickly! I was pleasantly surprised by the dining room. It had AC which was definitely appreciated over the summer, and the decorations were cool. And I was glad to see that they had games and books to borrow while dining at Hugo's Tacos! If I went again I would definitely enjoy borrowing one of their board games (I had my eye on Rummikub). Very cool establishment!

    All good on this trip - I was craving a hard shell taco with a medium spicy salsa and thats exactly what I got - outstanding ! I was in and out in about 5 minutes also :)

    This little taco stand is conveniently located right off the 101 freeway. I usually come here on Tuesday's for their any taco $3 special, which is served all day. We ordered a trio of tacos. The flavors were so so but they weren't bad at all, and I particularly liked the salsa it comes with. The potato taco was ok, nothing special. The service is good and they added additional indoor seating with plenty of tables . The menu has a variety of popular Mexican food specialties, including daily specials. The cashier at the service counter was welcoming and friendly. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here, but it's solid if you're in area and looking for a quick bite.

However, after a two-year absence, my recent visit to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom was disappointing. We arrived in the late afternoon, hoping to avoid the crowds, and put our name down. Unfortunately, after waiting 30 minutes for an update, we discovered that our name hadn't even been recorded. Once we were finally seated, there was a significant delay in receiving our drinks and chips. I noticed one server struggling, dropping food for different tables, which was unfortunate. To add to our frustrations, they forgot our tostada Chiquita, which was later brought out with our main dishes. I ordered carne asada with cheese enchiladas and chile relleno, but the meal lacked the flavor I remembered. The service was inconsistent; they continually forgot our drinks and chips. On a positive note, the ambience was lovely, and I still adore the classic LA decor. Despite the nostalgic charm of Casa Vega, this experience left me hoping for improvements in both service and food quality for future visits.

I got me a Carne Asada Burrito with shredded beef, onions, beans, tomato sauce, & cilantro. I also got their Horchata that tasted so bad. It was basically water, with a pinch of cinnamon in it. Food overall tasted less than mediocre. Horchata was $4.50, and add Guac. $2.50. Guac tasted bland and was missing the main ingredients in it. Like garlic, lemon juice, and other spices.. Chips was small, but decent. Had to ask for that too.Didn't come with the meal. Ambiance was dull, and boring. There were probably 4 people in there including myself. They don't do delivery nor do catering. However, you can pick up to go orders. I am being generous with the last star. Place was clean, food came out quick, and they had few parking spaces in the back. Not all restaurants have parking these days! No public restroom either. Will not be returning. There are a lot of other delicious restaurants that I would be more than HAPPY to give my business to. I just wasted $22.77, tax included. What a bummer!!
