The ambiance was nice and relaxed, making it a great spot to stop by and enjoy some tacos. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other meat options!

I have eaten at many vaunted taquerias such as San Francisco's La Taqueria and North Hollywood's Birrieria Familia Castro (Yelp ranked best taqueria in the U.S.). But the five (!) tacos I had at Ixmota topped those. I planned to have three tacos, but liked them so much I had to have more. I plan to load up a car with a bunch of friends to come back here to sample what I have not yet had on the menu. Be sure to check out the "secret menu" taped to the window. Plus, they play cool Spanish-language goth/dark wave music on their speakers. No internet hype (yet), no line out the door (yet), but this place deserves all that and more. I can't believe my luck.

It looks like a warehouse. In tell you come in side. It's totally different.. it looks like that because the sun hits the restaurant. So it's not bad in side. The restaurant is nice and quiet.. The people at the register were very nice and patient. They told me how big the burritos were and what comes with them. It just meat and tortillas. You can add beans and stuff for a little more. I got the Brea burrito. So I Oder two. They said everything made in shop. It felt home made. It wasn't over sauce.. it had a lot of meat. It's great lunch or small dinner. It's nice hole in the wall restaurant. I would come Here more often. They have a water station. Plus they sale home made tortillas. They're big flour tortillas..

They can get busy quick! We got: Platillo especial (2 birria burritos w green sauce on top) - the birria was a little too sweet for my liking. Personally it wasn't for me but I can see why other people will like it :) 7.5/10 2 frijoles y queso - if you're trying to fiber maxx this is a good one. Refried beans were cooked very good and tortilla was nice and fresh! The salsa on it was a good addition 8.8/10 chicken tinga - this I enjoyed.

We saw a lot of reviews praising their fish tacos, so we decided to come on Taco Tuesday after…read moreseeing a sign advertising 2-for-1 fish tacos, though we ended up paying full price, so I'm honestly not sure how the promotion works based on the sign out front. Their English is fairly limited, so be prepared for a bit of a language barrier. After ordering, we ended up getting 4 fish tacos and a wet asada burrito with green sauce. Here are my thoughts: Fish Taco - Delicious. The fish is fried and comes fully dressed with sauce. We opted for the handmade tortillas, which were fresh and absolutely bomb. The handmade tortillas were an extra $4 each, which I didn't fully realize at the time since the menu was in Spanish, oops. Still very good. (4.5/5) Wet Asada Burrito - Tasty and solid. The burrito itself was good, and I especially enjoyed the rice. Everything tasted great with the salsa smothered on top. Definitely a satisfying dish. (4/5) I'd definitely come back now that I have a better understanding of their menu (I was pretty lost not speaking Spanish). We did have to pay cash since they said their card machine was down. Overall, a pretty good experience. Parking: They have a parking lot in the back.

We ordered the Pastor Burrito and placed the order at the counter before finding a seat. The burrito itself came out a bit smaller compared to most burritos I usually get. Flavor-wise, the biggest downside was the strong sour taste, which unfortunately overpowered the overall experience. Even the sauce served on the side had the same sour profile, making it harder to fully enjoy the meal. Sadly, this wasn't the most pleasant burrito experience for us.
