    Burrito Supreme

    The best mexican food in town!! Authentic, clean, amazing staffs and the best burrito! We have been coming here since 1998.

    Bandaid in Torta Cubana
    Peaxchy M.

    I had submitted a great review from the first time I came here. The food and everything was good and I had a great view on this restaurant. I later on came here for my third time at night and sadly when I got home I found a bandaid wrapped in my torta. I decided to call in for manager and was told that they walk in whenever they want and have No specific time to service me. Very disappointed how this changed my view, it made me sick. I have decided to leave everything as is but please be aware of such situation. I hope your employees wear gloves... Thanks.

    Al pastor burrito, chips/salsa
    Jean Y.

    Cute little neighborhood place in Reseda. Would definitely visit again, probably trying the tortas next time :) Pros: - lots of protein options as well as vegetarian, easy to read menu - for the most part easy parking, small lot but street plenty aplenty - flavorable meals - we got the al pastor and carnitas burrito, both were good, a little spicy/salty but it's based on personal preference - chips and salsa were DELICIOUS and fresh - not the cheapest as our burritos were around $12 but it is super filling, I saved a portion for lunch and was still full for dinner Cons: - cash only

    The Asada in my Torta de carne asada looks like beef jerky. Disappointing.

    I don't recommend this place to anyone. Its a shame because I support small businesses but not when they try to rip you off. I've been here a handful of times and got something different to give it a chance. This time I got an asada torta. The piece of meat was the thinnest cut I've ever been served as "carne asada" it was thinner than a slice of bacon. Ridiculous. Didn't taste good at all either. I was curious as to how they have 4 stars... well by reading their 5 star reviews, it's obvious most of them are made up. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Asada and egg torta. Best breakfast sandwich!

    Love the number 1 with asada and love the cook, Pilar. Sweet lady and great food. 10/10!

    Huarache de carne asada.
    Lil L.

    Huarache was so delicious. Nice people and they went beyond service. Definitely recommend it.

    I am surprised that I've never reviewed Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. The food portions are pretty big for me, the meat has always been supper soft. I enjoy the tacos, sopes, nachos, and the agua frescas. They owner and the workers are attentive and friendly. They take a while to prepare your food but it's okay with me because it's cooked well and taste amazing

    If you're on the hunt for a seriously satisfying wet burrito, Las Fuentes absolutely delivers--and…read morethen some. From the moment your plate hits the table, you can tell you're in for something special. The burrito is massive, perfectly wrapped, and completely smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce that strikes that ideal balance between bold and comforting. Every bite is loaded with well-seasoned meat, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of cheese melted over the top. What really sets Las Fuentes apart is the depth of flavor. The sauce isn't just an afterthought--it's the star, tying everything together with a savory, slightly tangy kick that keeps you coming back for more. The rice and beans on the side are just as impressive, clearly made with care and not just filler on the plate. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the overall experience feels authentic and satisfying. Whether you're a wet burrito lover or trying one for the first time, this spot will raise your standards. Las Fuentes isn't just good--it's the kind of place you start craving the second you leave. The inside has a great Spanish decor.

The service and vibe were also amazing. I was so disappointed in the food and service! I ordered a tostada (besides my better judgement of ordering what I typically do, which is a gringo style wet burrito). I specifically asked the cashier if it came in the fried shell bowl. She said yes and that I can choose between flour or corn. I asked if the size or look were different, and she said no, so I ordered corn. It came out as a plate of just unseasoned mess. The carnitas were extremely dry and had no flavor, despite drowning it in whatever sauces were available. My husband's plate is what he normally gets too, carne asada plate. Dry and no flavor. A nearby table received their order and they also ordered a tostada that came with the shell. I asked the waitress (who was the same lady to took our order) what they ordered and she said tostada. When I told them mine came out the way it did, she said that was my fault for ordering corn. I felt that it was misleading despite me asking questions. She said she will bring out a flour tostada. I was fine up until this point because it was a simple mistake on both our ends. However, another waitress who brought out the flour tostada started speaking to me in Spanish, then repeated in English "this is flour, this is corn (while pointing at my plate)" in the most condescending manner. I will never go back here and I understand why the ratings have gone down significantly. They opened another location in Chatsworth, with worse ratings and I can confidently say I will never go back nor recommend it to anyone!

To my surprise, it's definitely worth going in. As you walk in, they have a smoothie/fresh drinks area. On the left side, they have the ordering window.

It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red). It came with rice, beans topped with shredded cheese, and 2 eggs (choice of over easy). It's a small place that feels like home away from home cooked meals. Overall, definitely coming back.

Unfortunately, the prices have skyrocketed. I guess it's a sign of the times like a lot of places. S&B used to be known for good Mexican food at an affordable price. The food is still delicious (I love their beans and bean dip, and my bf really likes their rice). Just not in love with these prices. To get the most value, if you order one of the burritos, you can easily split it into two meals because they're pretty big. Got the chicken fajita burrito and had half for lunch yesterday and today. Suddenly, an almost $25 burrito turns into a couple of lunches for under $15.
