When a craving for a pastrami dip hits, nothing in Monterey Park quite compares. I love grabbing a booth and watching the cars pass by while I devour my meal. I recently tried the Pastrami Burger ($12.90) for the first time and it absolutely blew me away--this might be my new go-to. It's a solid standard burger taken to the next level with fresh, tender pastrami; I personally add yellow peppers for a nice heat kick. I also tried the tuna sandwich, which was surprisingly good, though let's be honest--I'm almost always in the mood for pastrami. To wash it all down, an Orange Bang is an absolute must-get, and the fact that it comes with free refills is a huge plus. The fries are consistently fried to golden perfection and well-seasoned. The chili cheese fries are truly perfection, and even if I have to "deal with the consequences" later, they are worth every bite. We also tried the potato salad, which was a bit on the sweet side but well-liked by my wife. The only item we didn't love was the Wet Fry with Gravy, which we found a bit too salty for our taste. A tip for families: our son prefers his pastrami undipped, and the staff is always happy to put the au jus on the side for him. Speaking of the staff, they are friendly and incredibly hard-working, consistently getting food out quickly even when the place is packed. Highly recommend!

Which is to say they kinda grill their meat over charcoal, then its kept warm on their flat top. They have several meats you can get, carne asada, buche, tripas, cabeza and, pastor and pollo. I got a carne asada burrito ($7.00) to go and a I tried a handmade tripas taco ($2.50), I thought my tripa taco was kinda good actually, the handmade tortilla was really good had some nice like thicknes and chewiness to it, and it was larger than a regular corn tortilla taco, they spent some time grilling up the tripas till it had some nice color on it and was kinda crispy. The burrito was ok, I thought for $7, they could hook it up more, it was a rather small burrito, I do like the fact that wafter they lay the rice and meat foundation on the tortilla, they hand your the burrito so you can add what you want from their salsa bar, like salsa or pickled onions or cucumber slices, before the guy wraps into a burrito. overall this place was decent, but theres a lot of competition out their for a taco stand in this area and to me it doesnt' really stand out that much. I'd still eat here tho, especially for a hand made taco.

Of course, it helps when you've studied the menu and know what you want once you get to the cashier. The burritos are just as good as every other five-star reviewer says. They are big, but they go down easy and they go down fast. The tortillas are A+, but so are the fillings. Once you bite in, you can't stop eating because they are that good! I've had the carnitas and the asada w chili relleno. Both amazing. Finding a seat can be tricky, but something always opens up.

I have no issue if the business clearly disclosed payment-processing fee to customers, but I believe customers should be informed before completing the transaction, not discover an additional charge after reviewing the receipt. A small $1 charge may not seem significant, but it's the lack of transparency. The food is mid at best and the burrito is very small for what they charge. Not worth the try in my opinion. Drove 30 mins to try and will not be revisiting.
