This my first time coming here with my boyfriend he been here a few times, and I really like it and the food was very fresh and clean and the rest room is well taken care of. I really love the staff and how fresh the food is. It's amazing to be able to come to a place and they remember your name and everything I love that honestly. I really cant wait to come back and bring all my friends. Definitely will recommend to friends and others. By far the best I have ever been to! The food is amazing Thank you so so much. Thank you guys for everything.

Can't believe no one has written a review for such a great place. It's a little cart out in Compton, but for tasty and cheap tacos on a weekend this is the place to go. Definitely a must! Their food speaks for itself, because it just has good flavor. But don't get me started on the condiments that accompany the food. The salsa... One of them is too hot but I don't care because I pile all of them on. "Bring on the spice! I'm trying to get spiced up". The guacamole, you better hope you stop there at the right time before its gone. The cabbage is pretty awesome on the tacos, although its kind of new to me. It must be a Sinaloense thing, after all, it does say estilo Sinaloense, but it works for me. Overall this is just an amazing stop for tacos or whatever else they serve, and its pretty much the only taco spot I think of when I'm craving tacos during the weekend on a late night.

My friend was craving some tacos and said we should go here and it was actually really tasty! We had tacos, vampiros, and a quesadilla with carne asada. The tacos were super fresh, not too oily, and they had a lot of salsa and chile options that were super yummy. The vampiros had cheese and your choice of meat. The carne asada was flavorful and the cheese was melted thoroughly, but the top of the corn tortilla was a little too fried for me. Then we saw the Quesadilla with carne asada and had to try it. It was made with a flower tortilla instead of the vampiro and was way more delicious. Not too much space for sitting unless you get lucky and there's not too many people.

Someone once told me you can't go wrong with a taco spot that has "Poblano" in the name. After…read moretrying this place, I'd say it's decent, but not somewhere I'd drive out of my way to visit. The biggest draw here is the handmade tortillas, which are definitely a step above average. However, this was the first taco shop where I actually watched pieces of fat being added to the asada tacos, something I've seen other reviewers mention as well. The al pastor wasn't carved from a trompo; instead, it was served as chopped pieces of pork in sauce, which wasn't my preferred style. The birria was good, but nothing particularly memorable compared to other places I've tried. That said, the restaurant seems very popular with locals, and being open past 6 p.m. is a plus in an area where many restaurants close early. Prices are lower than what you'd typically find at a brick-and-mortar taqueria, which may reflect the local market. One thing to note is that there is no customer restroom, so it feels more geared toward takeout than dining in. Most of the customers I saw appeared to be picking up food to go. Overall, it's a solid neighborhood taco spot if you're already in the area, but not necessarily a destination-worthy stop.

Another Eat the World LA Find That Delivered…read more Weekday workday, only an hour for lunch, and I was craving soup -- so I decided to try another Eat the World LA find: CH Y La Birria in Compton. As usual, it did not disappoint! Since I don't normally make my way to this side of town unless I'm working, I've been making a point to explore restaurants near work. I ordered the Birria Ramen online, and pickup was super easy. My order was ready promptly and ahead of schedule. The staff was friendly and even gave me a helpful tip: ordering over the phone is actually cheaper than ordering online. Definitely good to know for next time! I brought my ramen back to work and enjoyed it there. They also offered chips, which ended up being the perfect addition. I used them to scoop up the birria and consommé first, then went back to the ramen. The 16 oz serving was generous enough that I even had leftovers for lunch the next day. I'd definitely order the Birria Ramen again, but I'm also curious to try some of their other offerings next time. Another successful Eat the World LA recommendation!

Located next to 76…read more ********I THINK IT'S CASH ONLY!!!******** Ordered 4 tacos. I got the carne asada, cabeza, and labio. They come HOT which is perfect. Tortilla super hot. Caution. Honestly, I had no idea which one was which when I got the order. Didn't matter. They were all super tender and delicious. Perfect flavor and they give a lot of meat. So much meat you can't fold the taco and the meat falls out. Then you have to scoop up the remaining meat with your hands. Delicious. Wish I got more tacos. They have radish, onions, and cilantro for self serve. Hot sauce and verde sauce. The sauces are not too powerful and has nice flavor balance with the tacos. The hot sauce was pretty spicy. They're a creeper. They have a bench in front to sit but no tables. Eat those tacos on the spot. They should be eaten hot and fresh. If you're in Compton, this place is a must.

What bothered me the most was that this guy just got off his bike and went to the grill and started flipping items over without washing his hands or anything. Nasty! I ordered some quesadillas and they take so long even with no one else there. I was here previously and like others have said they have also skipped my order. The meat in the quesadillas is salty, I thought it was just me the first time but this second time I confirmed it's very salty.
