    What's left of my carne asada wet burrito.
    Michael L.

    Excellent food and great service. Came here out of the blue and I am glad I did. Had a carne asada wet burrito and my partner had carne asada street tacos. Both were spot on! So glad we came here. Definitely coming back when we are in the area.

    I can here on a Tuesday for the 1.25 tacos let me tell you they are bomb! The gentleman who helped me was super helpful. I had two carne asada tacos, two carnitas tacos and a side of guacamole. The tortillas are homemade, the meat? Omg! Quality meat! The asada was excellent you can tell it was not cheap meat no grizzle, the carnitas was not fatty or greasy. The guacamole was also excellent as well. They have 4 different salsa I only tried two and both were good. I heard the fried ice cream is off the chain and the menudo is excellent. FYI this place is located where the fish market was, than the wing place, I am just hoping this place will stick around. Really good food.

    Huevos Rancheros from here really hit the spot yesterday. Everything was prepared to perfection and the green salsa was so tasty. The corn tortillas were thick, hot and homemade. I will be back to try other dishes. It's an unassuming store front in Compton, but stop in and try, the cook is good and the service is nice. They have two tables set up outside para aquí and of course you can always get your food para llevar.

    This is a hidden gem in compton, seriously. I have driven and passed several times and was always skeptical about trying it out. The location was just kinda sketch, but be hold i have found thee best authentic mexican taco. The tortilla was soft, i would say handmade, the meat nice and finely chopped up, meat has very nice flavor and the salsa perfect for me not too spicy. I always drove way out to DTLA area, Downey, Bell area to get mexican food. Wont be doing that drive no more, with this spot here.

    Greetings, Flavor Budz!…read more I wanted to share a review for Wendy, the owner and operator, regarding her welcoming establishment. She was incredibly hospitable, especially since my husband and I were new patrons to her eatery. Naturally, I was craving tacos, as I often do. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this family-friendly eatery so close by. As you may know, they specialize in Birria, which, incidentally, is an impressive rendition of a traditional home-cooked meal. What I found most enjoyable about my dining experience was the grilled shells, which provided a delightful crunch. I appreciate various textures in my food, so I have specific preferences for how certain dishes are prepared. The flavors and seasoning combinations were also quite complimentary. I ordered the tacos, ramen, and quesabirria, and everything was delicious. The atmosphere is inviting, the food is prepared with care, and it is a family-owned business. They have now become a cherished part of my inner circle. Wendy, you and your family are truly gems, and I thank you for your hospitality.

Like the kind you eat when you're at an elders family home and you can smell Mexico outside. I haven't had Mexican food that authentic this side of the border unless it was someones home. THAT KIND OF MEXICAN FOOD! Enchiladas the mole con pollo were a dream. Rice and beans were fresh and definitely not canned. Chilaquiles came with a side of buttered and toasted bolillo (not pictured) and I was given the option to add an egg or meat. I opted to keep them simple. I wanted to taste the sauce. They had green or red chilaquiles. BABY LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE GREEN SAUCE! Basically, put yourself on and give this place a try. Tacos dorados de papa were piled high with cabbage, radish, queso cotija, and crema. Ladled a sauce over the top and it was finger licking good. Service was excellent. There's a cute little store in front where you can get Mexican pantry goods brought direct from the motherland. Give this place a try!

Sell bottle beer and seltzer They have a condiment bar available. Taco $3.25- feels like a steep price. But the tortilla are hand made and have a nice chew. They are thick, but not too fluffy. Carnitas taco- the meat was really tasty. It was soft but still crispy with texture. A little excess oil. But was really good. Could be seasoned more. Asada- meat was soft. Has a nice grilled taste Al pastor- soft. The flavor is average. Nice texture to the meat grilled. Top shelf fries $16- was super super good. I would get this again. Great to share. Fries has your choice meat, topped with sour cream and guac. The fries are seasoned shoe string fries

I think the biggest difference is that they stopped making the tortillas by hand and the meat doesn't taste as good as it used to. In all honesty, the quality has gone downhill. I know that they started a burger food truck that they have parked outside and maybe they are focusing their efforts on that but the change is definitely noticeable in a negative way. I was so excited to come back, but was pretty disappointed with my meal. I will say that the one good thing that they still have going for them is their amazing staff. All of the workers are extremely kind and helpful and they work very hard to keep a clean and aesthetic area. If you heard the hype of fresh handmade tortillas and wanted to try top shelf tacos, save yourself the trip. They don't do it anymore and It's just like any other taco place.
