I don't live far, but somehow it's rare for me to drive by over here and today my friend said she…read morehad the same experience and we should go for lunch. The last time I was over here was when it was a kbbq taco spot back in the day. We arrived a bit after 1pm and the small parking lot was full, much easier to find street parking. Especially since a lot of people mentioned in their reviews a lot of take out orders. We sat in their outdoor patio area and recently it's been windy so be sure to bring a light jacket or sweater. The food took a while, but it came out hot and fresh. The owner said hi and asked if we needed anything which was a pleasant surprise. She was super welcoming! The food was delish. My friend ordered the albóndigas special she saw on social media over the weekend - so it's not always available. I got the Egyptian nachos which was beautifully played with a jalapeño cilantro hummus, chips decoratively fanned out and nice pops of color from the pickled red onions and sliced cucumbers. I am sooo full and didn't even finish my food. Gonna put the extra meat in a tortilla at home! I would recommend and will try to make it out again soon.

I went for the burrito with tahini and galbi chicken, and while it was good, I'll admit I probably went a little overboard with the fusion combinations . What really stands out is how everything feels cooked to order and made from scratch -- fresh, intentional, and clearly crafted with care. The frescas were really refreshing as well. Prices are on the higher side, but that's just the reality of the times, and the quality shows. Overall, Tirzah's is an exciting addition to the neighborhood, and I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Questionable on cleanliness as it's street food, but wow their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite. Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside. Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure! Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

The beans were flavorful, the cheese was just right, and the whole thing had that simple, comforting deliciousness that makes a great bean and cheese burrito so special. Being from Yuma, Arizona, it immediately reminded me of the bean and cheese burritos from Chile Pepper and Mr. G's, which is about as high a compliment as I can give. I also tried the shredded beef folded tacos. They were good and I enjoyed them, but they didn't quite reach that extra-special level for me. I'm still searching for a folded shredded beef taco that can match or beat Tito's Tacos, and while Al & Bea's makes a solid one, Tito's still holds the crown in that category for me. The red salsa was excellent and went great with everything I ordered. It added just the right amount of flavor and made an already very good meal even better. Al & Bea's is the kind of place that does simple, comforting Mexican food really well, and that bean and cheese burrito alone is absolutely worth coming back for.

Lately I've been on a food tour of Los Angeles and my latest fixation is burritos. Of course I had…read moreto come and try Al & Beas. They're on every list. It's a small shop, very limited indoor and outdoor seating. There was a line even at 2pm. I was chatting with my fellow line mates and most of them have been coming here for years. They said the cheap prices, consistent quality, and familiarity keep them coming back. After trying their chile relleno and green salsa burritos i can agree. Simple food, simple recipes. I felt like i was eating my grandma's food. It tasted like the food I grew up on. Don't be shy, ask to share a table with someone when there are no seats. The patrons are friendly. I can't wait to go back. Tip: don't come here expecting to be in and out. They have a sign that says it perfectly "We don't make fast food. We make quality food as fast as we can".

I just never had the opportunity or time to stop just there my way home or when I passed by. Today I was off work, in the area and I was like yes !! I'm going togo there today. First off congratulations to them standing out there committed to doing what they're doing in this ridiculous heat. As soon as I pulled up curbside, the aroma in the air was just intoxicating. I'm not sure what wood they use, I did see it was charcoal as well. There was grills lined up with beautiful grilled chicken going down /. Ribs being kept at temp on a flat top. It was just awesome , with music , like a little mini fiesta . A couple ladies were working the other side, serving drinks and one making handmade tortillas that were delicious.. I got a whole chicken , knowing i'd ear some for lunch, rest for work tonight The flavor is definitely spot on. I absolutely enjoyed it, but it was just a tad dry. I definitely would still order it again. The ribs were beautiful -delicious , tender / had a nice chew to it. I'm not a fall off the bone kind of rib guy so I liked that it has a little pull; nothing that would make you think tough.. it was also lightly brushed with a barbecue sauce, but nothing heavy, which is just the way I like my ribs. It was a rib plate and it came with two sides which was beans and rice. I haven't even tried yet. I'm kind of doing low carbs right now, but I was gonna take a bite just so I could review it but I've already packed it up for lunch tonight so can't tell you about that but I'm sure they're they're good. I mean they look good.. Overall, 8/10

Sadly we do not recommend this place. We were highly recommended to this home "local" business, but…read morenot satisfied at all. I'm Italian so, it's going to be tough to beat our at home pizza, but we give everyone a chance. So let's start off with the crust. It tasted like thin paper that was totally burnt. The margherita pizza had bell pepper on it. I'm sorry that is not a margherita pizza at all! And zero basil. Price was not bad, but for an at home business it seemed over priced. When we went, he was not at all together and we had to wait for someone to come help us finally. The service was ok, no where to sit and eat and it's Soto street which is a Main Street and I wouldn't sit on that street anyhow. Too many fast cars flying by. All in all, we have it a shot, but won't be back. There are several local pizza spots not too far away that are way better. Sorry to give a not so good review, but it was not good at all.

But the ingredients is where it kinda fell flat for me and I guess I was expecting more of the wood flavor in the pizza itself. But for $14 for a 14" pizza it's a good value. Service was fast as my pizza was made within 10 minutes. The pizzeria is actually at a residence so it's a little difficult to see. Hugo was friendly and generous.

They didn't get soggy at all! The flavor for both chilaquiles sauces is 100/10 & not super spicy where you can't enjoy your food! If you wanna add a little more spice, they also make a salsa on the side that they give to you and it's so spicy and yummy! One thing about the cook is his flavoring is A-1 Not to mention they over pack your plate to get you full. It's so hard to find places like this where they are not stingy when it comes to portions. It's always nice to have a little extra to share or even save some for leftovers later when you crave them again! The cucumber limon agua Fresca he made was also so delicious!! It was the best one I have ever had in my life! So sweet, tangy, and refreshing all in one. Service was amazing. They are all so kind and were fast with making the food. They have a little seating area off to the side you can sit at also if you want to eat right there after you receive your food. Overall, this little pop-up is 1000/10 and I highly recommend. Give them a try, you will not regret it. Also, on a side note....they have two other people selling next to them and they serve michis and Mariscos. Get the best of all three in one stop!
