I found this place on Tik Tok. We drove all the way from Lancaster. I don't regret one bit. The food was so good. So much at that. The service was incredible. Super friendly. I also treated myself to a coffee from next door. Highly recommend. Just fix the table near the window. lol it wobbly. read more

Los Ruizenores - We had the family meal. We have lunch with fresh corn tortillas for a few days. - Mexican Near Me - Sylmar, California

A Hidden Gem Worth Stopping For! I've driven past this place so many times but never stopped in. Well, today was finally the day, and I'm glad I did! After chatting with the friendly ladies inside, I learned that the restaurant is under new ownership and is now called La Vaca Mex Cafe in Sylmar, CA. I ordered a hand-pressed corn tortilla taco with a delicious mix of carnitas, buche, and cueritos, topped with fresh cilantro. I also tried the carnitas nachos, loaded with beans, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. You can add pico de gallo if you prefer. Both dishes came with salsa on the side, which was a nice touch. Everything I ordered was good, and I really enjoyed being able to watch the food being freshly prepared right in front of me. The restaurant has an open, spacious feel without being cramped, and there's plenty of parking in the rear, which is always a plus! I arrived just as the ladies were starting to clean up for the day, but they were still welcoming and friendly. I appreciated that, especially being a first-time customer. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and exploring more of their menu. There are several other items I'd love to try! If you've been driving past this spot like I have, it might be time to stop in and give it a try. I'm happy I finally did! read more

Overly priced . Insane pricing for tacos. Yet they still charging an extra 2.45 for each taco! Each taco costing $7.70-$8! Given food cold amd tortillas were already getting hard like if they were reheated Totally disappointed Will not return read more

Los Ruizenores - Overly priced . Will not go back . - Mexican Near Me - Sylmar, California

First time here. Employees extremely nice and helpful. Expected it to be more fancy inside. Everyday casual. Very clean inside. Coffee next door. Get it and eat over here. I loved the carnitas burrito and green salsa. I will come here again and try something else. read more

The food has gone down hill since they moved from the liquor store. Terrible service, terrible food. Only thing worth it are the carnitas and tortillas. Take your business somewhere else. read more

We ordered enchiladas that were decent at least. We also ordered chilaquiles which was a disaster. Look at the photos! We asked for over easy eggs, and they weren't runny at all the yoke was overcooked. The carne asada with it was dry and overcooked and just looked and tasted old like they warmed it up from the day before. The worst part of all was the Chile relleno! It was so hard you couldn't even cut through it! The breading was tasteless and hard they used bread and not egg. The salsa they give you with it tasted the complete opposite like a pico de gallo more than an actual sauce. They completely failed on the chili relleno, and also with the over easy egg and carne asada for the chilaquiles. This was such a waste of money and I will never come back. I'm better off cooking it myself. The only thing I would recommend would be to eat somewhere else read more

Really rude service. The cashier seemed to have had a bad day or something. He huffed and puffed... it was 5:30PM and the place was empty. I asked him what the difference between a California burrito and a traditional. Apparently, it was a big ask. Won't be coming back. :-( read more

I've been coming here since they moved from the liquor store across the street. The good business and Mario Lopez got to them. I went back today and the food was a cold, as if the tortillas were sitting out there for a while. The agua fresca was all ice for $6.50!? So, I asked for a refill. They refilled it but charged me! They didn't tell me it was an extra cost until after they filled my cup. Their portion sizes also got smaller. Their food is good, but it's overpriced and you could get the same somewhere else for cheaper. I don't really think I'll come back. read more

the food always good and fresh. Been there I many times but when I come to get something simple and you wait for half an hour, and then give some of their food before me, and then start arguing with me saying that they were there before me when I know I was there way before them. Not very nice and very rude ladies part of her customers always right read more

Came to try a coffee shop and saw it was attach to Los ruizenores so I had to try it .. I got two tacos de carnitas and one of asada and chicharon. Gonna keep it real it was expensive but you know what their hand made tortillas are really good and big . Tacos de carnitas were delicious my niece let me try her asada taco and I thought it was okay. Love that they add chips.. Fast and friendly service read more

Foods so good it's like they lagg on purpose and are slow as hell even when your there alone I love this spot but Danm I'm not trying to get taxed and lagged on for authentic Mexican food the servers aren't happy that's fer sure read more

Terrible experience. I'm leaving two stars just so the review seems fair, but this was really disappointing. We ordered two California burritos and both were completely cold -- the cheese wasn't melted and the rice, beans, and meat were all cold. They also had no guacamole. When I asked about it, the employee said they were out, even though we specifically asked what came in the burrito before ordering and no one mentioned it. We also ordered birria tacos, and those weren't good either. The breading was poorly done and just tasted off. Overall, very disappointing and not worth it. read more

My first time coming i ordered two normal tacos and a street taco, carnitas was perfectly cooked as well as the asada. My food came out in less than seven minutes.Great Service from Ernie who took my order. chill spot to come and enjoy some delicious food. read more

Waited 20 Minutes for a Burrito de Asada at 8AM. I asked in the beginning if it came with chips and she said yes. The chips never came with the burrito. The burrito was also super small to cost $15. I promise you, You can get a better one at any other taco stand on the street. I first came here when they opened up a long time ago and got their Chilaquiles. Ended up immediately getting diarrhea and got sick. I really hoped this second time it would've been better considering I live close but nope. read more

This truck came to a school event for my children. They were friendly, accommodating, and fast on their service. They offered Zelle as a payment option which I loved. I have a three taco plate for 12 dollars it had one asada, chicken, and carnitas taco. Each of them came with guacamole without an extra charge which was a huge plus the flavors were packed inside everything. They also gave chips and green and red sauce everything was so good. I would definitely recommend 10 out of 10. If you see them and have a chance to stop it's a must try for a great price and portions was generous. read more

Came again and was pleased with food and drink. Ordered an agua fresca. Service was a little slow but it was ok. They have a restroom and the dining area is clean. The connecting coffee shop makes for a good detour. Haven't tried it yet. Parking was rough. If you don't mind walking I recommend this place. And if you can be patient of course. Food is made fresh. Salsa is perfect! read more

It used to be good when they were behind a store, but this new storefront has fallen short the last couple of times I've ordered. Both times they forgot an item that I paid for. I asked for an order of guacamole and chips, and I got a gigantic bag with like two teaspoons of guacamole. Also, the mulita asada and burrito asada were really dry. I was really looking forward to this place being open, but I've only been disappointed. read more

What a great discovery. LA taco's tiktok made a series on eateries in Sylmar and Los Ruizenores was one of the restaurants featured. It looked so good, the homemade tortillas caught my eye and the carnitas. My husband and I went on a Friday afternoon for lunch, the same day I found that LA taco Sylmar TikTok. We went a little wild and ordered $60 worth of food for us, we ended up taking a bunch home. $3 extra big bag of homemade tortilla chips to eat at home with the salsas. $4 small guacamole $3 hot salsa small $16 chicharones plate (includes beans, rice and homemade tortillas) And a bunch of tacos Al La carte $2.60 or so each. +A big tip. Loved the chicharrones plate, it's unique. Basically carnitas but with the crispy bits. Really lovely. This is a meal in itself. I loved the carnitas tacos, hands down was my favorite. The Al pastor was ok, I think it would be tastier if it was made on a trompo. The carne asada taco was lovely too. I would get two carnitas and one carne asada next time and skip the Al pastor. The hot salsa is packed with flavor, spicy but not too hot, I'd say it was more of a medium hot level than a spicy spicy. Guacamole was nice. I'm for sure getting the chicharrones Al La carte to take home. Love that they have a carnerceria next door I have to try next time. They also had a bunch of baked goods from a local vendor. Cash, credit card, Apple Pay etc is all good. Clean gorgeous facility, tall ceilings, lovely. Helpful and friendly customer service. read more

Way to expensive for basic quality food. I've have the asada fries, don't recommend. The carnitas are good but the chicharrón will crack your tooth it's hard as a rock. Their produce is also over priced $5 for 3 tomato's and one was rotten from the inside out. No thanks. Customer service is mid, depends on who you get. read more

Been here twice, first time I went I got the Green Chilaquiles. I asked kindly please no spicy , just regular to minimum spice. They ignored my request and It was piping hot. I went again, to give it a second chance with the loaded fries, explained that I don't do well with spicy, and to please have the pico & chipotle sauce ON THE SIDE. I even explained that I had a bad experience last time, and the lady taking my order said she would make sure. I opened my container of food when I got home and the pico and chipotle sauce were all over the fries, I tried to eat it but as a person who does not like spicy, I did not enjoy my meal. I feel like in this particular experience they declined to listen to the customers wants/needs and did whatever they felt like doing. Will not come again just due to this being the second time this happens... read more

It was ok we had steak tacos, and chicken tacos & a burrito. The tacos by themselves they need all the help that they can get guacamole ,cilantro, onion & chili cause the meat has no flavor. The burrito was good because I had everything on it. The cucumber drink was good if you want it sweet you're going to have to add sugar to it. If you pay cash you don't get charged a fee $2.95 . read more

They stopped selling the Sabritas from Mexico, it was convenient to purchase them here as a snack after the main meal.

Tried them for the first time tonight. The lady who took my order over the phone speak spoke barely any English. I ordered beef, flautas, rice and beans picked up my order and they were chicken flautas because apparently they don't make beef flautas and my flautas were extremely dryno guacamole sauce or avocado and barely any sour cream super dry no flavor so disappointed. read more

Paid nearly $18/lb for carnitas and half of it is inedible chunks of chewy fat. I asked for maciza. Which means pure pork, no fat or skin. Been coming here for years, and as a paying customer have kept up with rising costs (due to moving into a new location??). To charge $20 and be given garbage is unacceptable. This is nasty. read more

Los Ruizenores - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Sylmar, California

Excited to try the most talked about carnitas. Place is clean, freshly opened to public. I like the Agua Fresca on the counter. Takes me back to my childhood days. Carnitas, rice, beans, cilantro, chopped onion, and salsa on a homemade warm corn tortilla. Carnitas is well seasoned, tender and juicy. We ordered the carnitas family pack (1 lb. carnitas, rice and beans, cilantro, corn tortilla and salsa). This can feed up to 4-people and you will have left overs. As I write this review, we're thinking of ordering another family pack next week. read more
