Ordered the chicken tacos for lunch today . Chicken was good it was shredded and the tacos were packed however the rice and beans had absolutely no flavor and were so bland I had to ask for another salsa to add some flavor. Salsa was good but very watery, from loooking around, seems like a lot of people ordered the menudo or caldo which seems to be a hit. I only can speak from what my friend told me and he said it's the only decently priced authentic Mexican food in the area. I think prices could be lower for the items they offer. Bathrooms were clean and staff was friendly. read more

Marielas has the BEST carne asada. We have been going here since 2011 and have never been disappointed. We briefly moved out of state between 2020-2025 and I could not even find a place that came close to their carne asada. For superbowl Sunday, I cheated and ordered 4 carne asada plates to use in my nachos at home. I was reminded of how well this place does carne asada. It's bits of actual steak and that flavor comes through, instead of other carne asada which doesn't taste grilled, but more pan cooked. I haven't observed their grill, but whenever I hear the cook banging the knife against the meat on the cutting board, I know I'm going to get the best carne asada. My only wish is that they were open later :( read more

We returned to Mariela's after a long, long hiatus to get pastor, carne asada and carnitas burritos. We were reassured that the quality was still what we expected. Everything freshly made, well seasoned and the burritos were even throughout with rice, beans and meat. I don't know what the other reviewers did wrong here, but our burritos were substantial and bargain priced these days at under $8.00! It's a testament to their food that we keep coming back after moving further away. Still worth the trip. You know your food's going to be fresh when you hear that cleaver hitting the cutting board in there - their signature sound. Something about that carne asada - they get it so right. Yes, it's a tiny parking lot. So walk a block or two. It won't kill you. read more

This hole in the wall joint is WAY better than Taco Delta down the street. I'm a burrito lover and had a carne asada burrito at Taco Delta a few days ago because they had good reviews which I shouldn't have trusted. Then I found this joint on Yelp today. I love their food! This isn't a fancy restaurant but their food is legit. Price is very reasonable. Salsa is so flavorful, both red and green. Their chips are super crunchy and also flavorful. We ordered 3 tacos plate ($5.50) and carne asada wet burrito($6.50) and both were so delish! Especially taco plate is a great deal, it comes with 3 tacos, rice and bean and cheese for just $5.50. I'm glad we tried this joint because I was very disappointed with a burrito from Taco Delta the other day. read more

Bomb tacos for a low price. Where else in LA could you get 3 tacos, rice and beans for $5? The taco trucks aren't even that cheap. Warning: this place is about as evangelical christian as they come. When you walk in the door reads "Jesus is God" and you'll find the ten commandments and bible quotes everywhere. For your convenience they also have christian literature at every table. If you can stomach the Christianity this place serves up some great food. Service is a bit slow but worth the wait. The parking lot is tiny, but it's better than nothing, read more

My roommate described it has one of the best burritos he's had. Marielas serves an amazing burrito, but for $.50 more you can make it WET which tastes 10 times better. This burrito was huge and was about $5.50 after taxes. What a great deal. Parking is hell and the wait was painful. I'm going to blame this on the dude before us who order about 6 burritos.

On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced.

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

The food was amazing! Service was great, will definitely be back

Firstly, I want to say the food was just as good as the first time we visited. Unfortunately, my…read moresecond experience here...bringing my mom for Mother's Day ...was extremely disappointing because of the service. We initially had one server who brought us water and took our appetizer order, but then disappeared for quite some time without checking back in. At that point, I even went looking for a manager or hostess and couldn't find anyone available. Eventually, we were given a new server, but she came across as extremely rude and inattentive. What upset me most was the overall lack of communication and attentiveness throughout the experience. It made what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day outing feel frustrating and disappointing. Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

Went to Tu Madre and honestly... everything was SO good…read more I ordered the margarita flight, the asada burrito, a chicken taco, and the Korean BBQ taco and they did not disappoint. The margarita flight was super cute and actually strong lol every flavor was good. Perfect for trying different drinks instead of just picking one. The asada burrito was packed with meat and flavor. The steak was juicy, seasoned really well, and the portions were worth it. The chicken taco was simple but sooo good and flavorful, but the Korean BBQ taco??? Yeah that was my favorite. The mix of sweet and savory with the sauce was insane. The vibes were fun, the food came out fresh, and the staff was really nice. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. 10/10

tu madre was honestly just alright to me. it wasn't horrible but i probably wouldn't get it again…read more i ordered it through doordash, and got a carne asada burrito, a carne asada taco, and a birria taco and they gave chips on the side. they had good reviews on doordash so i was excited to try the items but everything was truly just... ok. i didn't feel like the flavor was really there for any of the items i got, and the sauces they provided weren't that great either. i love a spicier sauce but they only gave me milder ones that were pretty average flavor-wise. the carne asada taco had a crumbly cheese on top that just didn't go well with the rest of the taco. the tacos were also packed in a paper food tray. this was fine for the carne asada taco but for the birria taco, it soaked into and stuck on the paper tray. the burrito had a poblano ranch slaw that seemed to overpower the rest of the flavors. unfortunately, that meant the primary flavor of the burrito was bland. the food at tu madre was truly just very forgettable to me, and so i'd probably just recommend passing on this place.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. 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.
