The front parking lot was clean. There's multiple parking spots, we can also park on the street if needed. They do have handicap parking. The staff is friendly. Their Chilaquiles don't normally come with chicken, but they added chicken for me for an additional fee. I was happy. Chilaquiles is one of my favorite dishes and I get them all the time from different locations. By the way, the Chilaquiles are so good Like I mentioned, I've tried them from several different locations. And these are delicious. They are spicy and I like them like that! I'm very happy right now. I don't want to stop eating. Lol the rice is tasty. The beans are good. The egg is good. Chicken is good. Everything is good. I really like this plate. Even my cat is trying to eat my food.

I drove by this place years ago when someone I knew lived close by. I noticed the sign and said…read more"who has taco specials on Wednesday?" but I was intrigued and hear 6 to 8 months later I was in the area and decided to stop by. It was a good call, the tacos were delicious and so were the chilis sauces. I got two meat tacos [cabeza and lengua] and both were really good. They have a birria special and I asked if it was for weekends only and the owner replied that they have everything every day. I will be back for both the birria and the taco Wednesdays??? They also have a Friday special for Fish Tacos. My wife had a fish taco that she divided up into two tortillas and split it. She couldn't eat the second one because she was too full so I helped her out :) The only complaint was we got an horchata and it was watered down. Had to leave it and at $4, it is not cheap. They do have a $0.75 credit card fee.

Friendly service, lots of selection, I enjoyed a chile relleno, pozole, frijoles, rice,…read morechilaquiles, some fruit. The food was home made. Delicious. Only thing I think they could use is a bit more seasoning or a thicker consistency in the salsas/pozole. A little salt goes a long way! Will be back. I will say for someone who has been to Guadalajara grill , this tops that. Guadalajara grill's buffet is over rated and not good.

Another great hole in the wall in the city of El Monte! I was first introduced to Viva Zapata by my…read moreboyfriend and loved it since. I was pretty much sold after finding out they had posole :P keep in mind I haven't had a hearty bowl of authentic soup since my Hispanic neighbors moved to Fontana :( As I was saying.. Viva Zapata had me at "yes, we have posole." Lol. The soup was rich in flavor and large enough to share between two people. I like that they don't try to rip you and give you just soup and hominy. I got three large chunks of meat in my soup, and caught myself sucking the bone trying to get every ounce of meat off LOL. I also ordered their carne asada tacos which cost...... *drumroll* .......... Wait for it............ $1. Yup, you heard (or read) correctly. Each taco will only cost you $1. What a deal! Especially since they don't try to cheat you and give you petty amounts of beef. And an even better deal considering the fact that King Taco charges a whooping $1.25/taco. Although the tacos here are a little on the greasy side, I don't mind :) Viva Zapata is seriously a hidden gem. If you're ever in El Monte, do yourself a favor and check out Viva Zapata!

They serve with great hospitality and respect and as far as i see it they have always been clean on both aspects of food and location. I drive out from upland for this food so that should suffice to say how consistent and tasteful the food is here. Im salivating just thinking of it! Lol. The eating area inside it's quite small But nevertheless worth it in the taste of food. The closest resemblance I could describe the restaurant in is a "hole in the wall" type of look with outdated decoration and decor with great and extraordinary performance. The restroom is in desperate need of the facelift. The staff has been by far the most respectful and polite people you can meet. they are always so patient and serve with a smile. They have messed up ounce or twice, only small things like forgetting napkins or forks. The food is greatly consistent. The taste is always on point and always served fresh in my personal experience. Thank you for making me feel at home every time I come here to eat. Thank you for bringing back memories of childhood, every time I eat my favorite meal. Thanks you for staying consistent. I couldn't show the amount of appreciation i have for this restaurant. :)

After 6 PM, they cook food outside the front of their restaurant on a plancha. I absolutely love their tripas! Whenever I get it, they ask how crispy I want it and always check if it's crispy enough for my liking. They have three salsas available for self service: green salsa, red salsa, and avocado salsa. The toppings, like onion, cilantro, radishes, and limes, are also available on the side for self service. Their food is always top notch and delicious and their customer service is excellent as well. The only thing about Los Chanfainos is that it's CASH ONLY so be sure to bring some cash for some sweet tacos!

I guess it is a truck it just was not there and then came here and this was quite possibly the best Mexican food I've ever had and I have had some Mexican food. They have lots of vegetarian options and I got the veggie Asada taco and the mixed veggie taco and soy chorizo taco one of them was amazing. The tortilla was pillowy soft and tasted handmade and not like the usual tacos that we get the Customer Service was really very friendly and they brought the food out to me. They also recommended salsa to me and I loved the chipotle salsa. The Roja salsa is a little bit spicy. FYI, the ambience is casual and it is located in a parking lot that they share with an auto repair company. I would go to this place every day if I lived in the area, that's how good it is. Check this place out.

Beatrice always greets us with a smile and provides such helpful, friendly service every time. Since it's a street stand, the ambience is open and casual.

On my second visit, the total seemed wrong, so I asked the lady to explain the charges. She hesitated, then gave individual prices for each dish, and we realized we were overcharged by about $5. On my last visit, they changed the taco price again after ordering and asked for more money. I'd rather go to the red tent taco truck--the food is good and at least they are honest about their prices, $1.5 per taco.
