We went in around 1:30pm and it wasn't busy, so we were served promptly. The service was good and efficient, and the food portions were very generous. Prices are very reasonable and the meal was delicious! The chips & salsa, the al pastor plate, and the fajitas plate were all wonderfully made and super flavorful. I'm excited to go back to try other items on the menu in the near future! read more

Great service, reasonable prices, and amazing food. You just order at the counter and they bring it out to your booth. We got the loaded nachos, two shrimp taco plate, and a California burrito. My husband has eaten a lot of California burritos in his life, and he said this was hands-down the best he's ever tasted. The shrimp tacos and nachos were delicious, and you have to get the horchata--it was easily the second-best thing we ordered. Highly recommend! read more

I've been meaning to leave a review for awhile now. This place is now my go-to for cheap Mexican food! I moved to the area 3 years ago, and I have been on a quest for a place like the Molcasalsa and Alberto's chains. It is legit authentic based on the staff, customers, and spiciness of the salsa! #muycaliente My first visit: I got the tacos and burrito and it was made to order. Call ahead if you're not willing to wait 10 minutes. Each order comes with complimentary chips and salsa. The chimichanga and flautas are some of the best that I've had, all under $5 a la carte. The shredded beef burrito is a decent size for the price. There is indoor seating, but no outdoor. read more

Ok wow. This place is a California unicorn. Great food with a great price. $10 combination meals? Didnt know they existed in Cali. Got 2 chimichangs (one beef, one chicken) and what the hell, for this price throw in a taco also. Add an ice tea and the price is still $18. I think its the first meal I had here under $20. So left me start with the best part.....the free chips and salsa. Usually you know what to expect with these freebies, but these are off the charts. For the first time I found myself with no chips to use on the beans when the meal came. And the salsa? Can I get some in a bottle to go? Perfect blend and not real spicy. One of the best I have had anywhere. While the salsa was good and mild, the beef was a little on the spicy side. While the level was not too much for me, I know it would be too much for my wife. She wasn't here with me though, so no damage done. They may want to turn it down just a little though. The chicken didn't seem as spicy and had a good overall flavor. Even without chips left, I finished the rice and beans. I usually leave these behind, but not here. If you're looking for some good cheap Mexican food......this is the place. read more

We ordered everything to go & it was still steaming hot when we got home. Everything tasted so good and so fresh. My favorite part was the fresh salsa they give you with every meal. The meals itself was delicious but the sides (rice & beans) could be a little more flavorful, not complaining though bc everything we got was just so good. Portion size was definitely worth its price, I would definitely come back again and try new things on their menu because everything we got was fantastic. The inside of the place is a little run down. So if you don't mind grabbing this place togo, I would say it's worth it. read more

We decided to chose a random place for lunch and we happened to spot this small, family owned restaurant in a shopping plaza. We ordered the green chili pork burrito combo, carnitas chimichanga ala carte and baja fish taco ala carte, along with chips and salsa. The green chili pork, carnitas and fish taco were all flavorful and meat, tender. The servings were very generous so I think ala carte is the way to go. The chips and salsa were okay; salsa could've been spicier. Service was ok. There was only one person in the front (cashier/server) and she came by to serve the food and waited at the register the rest of the time. There was only one other occupied table. The food is good but it may be better a place to get takeout rather than a place to gather with family and friends. read more

Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

While we were waiting for our food, one of the owners came over and chatted with us about the restaurant's history. He shared that after the original owner passed away, many of the longtime cooks and staff decided to come together and open this new location, continuing the recipes and traditions they had been serving for years. Hearing that story, along with the genuine warmth and hospitality we experienced, made us appreciate the restaurant even more. It's not often that you find great food paired with such sincere customer service. They made us feel like regulars from our very first visit. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, generous portions, and a family-owned business that truly cares about its customers, Los Grandes Originales is definitely worth a visit. Wishing them nothing but success!

This place is alright. It's nice inside and clean. They display art on the walls from the gallery next door. So there is always something neat to look at. Our group of 4 showed up at lunch time and the place wasn't that full. It took about 5 minutes before the server came over to our table to give us menus because she was the only one working. I gotta say, the food was pretty good. Our table got 2 burritos, sopas, and a combo plate. You should definitely get your burrito wet (covered in sauce) if you get one. It makes it so much better! Their portions are large. So don't expect to be hungry when you leave It's a nice place with good food. Just don't expect it to be quick if you are in a rush. read more

This place has quickly become one of my go-to lunch spots. The food is consistently great, fresh, and full of flavor, and everything I've tried has been really solid. One of the best parts is that it's never overly busy, which makes it perfect when you're on a lunch break and don't want to feel rushed or deal with long lines. The service is amazing; friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming every time. It's an ideal spot to grab lunch with coworkers, have good conversation, and actually enjoy the meal without feeling crowded. Highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

It had scrambled eggs, rice, beans, cheese and bacon. I think my sauce was forgotten, but it was okay. I was already hungry haha. It was a big serving for me and took half of it home. * Deep Fried Ice Cream - We tried this out of curiosity! It was vanilla iced cream inside a crispy shell. In my opinion, the shell was made with some churro batter and corn flakes. The whip cream, chocolate and strawberry syrups added some extra sweet flavor. It was yummy. There is a private parking lot. Would come back here again and try out their other dishes.
