    This is not 7th and Termino, they're outside the ex-Firestone in DTLB almost every day, too (i.e. they run two locations now)
    Adam F.

    So, I haven't ever actually been to their primary location, currently their only one - but until about a month ago, they also operated a second popup location with all the same food, setup, prices, etc, a couple blocks away from us, and we were there ALL the time. Sadly, they seemed to have paused that location indefinitely, and I miss the absolute heck out of it. I really hope they come back. But I figure given it's the same people making the same food, I can review their current location, anyway - and given they're across town instead of down the street, I don't have to be conflicted whether I want word to be out about how fantastic their burritos are, vs worrying that it could cause there to be a line to get one. It is funny that they call themselves "Tacos Uziel", though, given their tacos are... fine. They're not bad tacos. I'd even go so far as to say that they're good tacos. Not huge, though, for the price, and while their meat is quite good, as are their salsas, after trying them once, I never got tacos again, because their burritos are literally my current gold standard for what the absolute best possible burrito looks like. I also tried their torta once, a while ago. Their tortas are also good, but they also aren't their burritos. Their burritos might well be the best burritos in California. Certainly the best *value* burritos in California, given in addition to being wonderful, they're also *massive*. You have to be pretty hungry to eat a whole one in one sitting, which I usually do and then regret it slightly. Anyway, reasons why this is the best burrito ever, other than being massive: 1. Their rice and beans are great. 2 2. They have suadero! Stewed in a big pot, just like the first and best suadero I ever had, from a famous taco stall in Mexico City. (La Brasita *has* suadero, but while they may make the best al pastor in the city, their suadero is bland and dry. The suadero here is almost too decadently rich to eat on its own in a burrito. 3. At no additional cost, you can get a burrito that's half and half of two meats. Their asada is also my gold standard for what great asada should be, and mixing their suadero and asada together is a... life-changingly good combo. (And each of the two halves are still more meat than I've gotten from some, much more mediocre burrito merchants in the past.) Their carnitas is also quite good, though I pretty much always got asada + suadero, once I discovered how wonderfully they went together. 4. At no additional cost, they'll griddle cheese *onto* the inside of the tortilla. Until I had the burritos here, my favorite burrito *had* been the breakfast burrito Lowkey used to make (RIP Lowkey :(), which griddled cheese onto the *outside* of a giant tortilla. Griddled cheese in a burrito is great, it turns out it's way less messy if it's the inside, though. These burritos are also way less money than Lowkey used to charge for his, and he charged extra for the cheese, too, lol. Super good. 5. After putting in the rice, beans, meat and cheese, they hand you the open burrito so you can add your own toppings to it directly, before they wrap it. Toppings include several salsas, ranging from hot to very hot, all very tasty, which it is nice being able to ladle directly into the burrito directly. They *also* include cooked/sliced onions as well as the traditional raw onion/cilantro mix, and on top of that, grilled nopal! You can add as much grilled onion and nopal as you want as well, also at no extra cost. (Though I did learn my lesson, if you add too much, your burrito *will* become top-heavy and fall apart.) 6. Assuming you don't do that, for how much they stuff these burritos with, they are *pros* at structural engineering. These burritos look like they'll fall apart, but they *don't* fall apart. 7. They're $10. ($8 on Wednesday.) That is a *steal*. Uziel, please don't change! (Except, come back to downtown. Please do change in that respect!)

    my fav taco stand in lbc!!!! everyone raves about al pastor but imo the goat is their carnitas. i only get that from them. their burritos are huge and filling, salsas and fixings are on point. they have mulitas too!!! you see a huge line on tuesdays but i usually go on off times and days bc i don't want to wait in a huge line.

    Papa Rellena and it was fantastic

    Yummy street corner food with good prices for the amount of food given. I got the potato with sliced meat (sorry I can't remember the name). Definitely will go back to support this small business. PS don't forget to bring your cash as it's cash only

    Al Pastor burrito $10
    Diamond G.

    Found this spot off of FB food scene group. We had two burritos, one Al pastor and one carne asada. Both hit the spot. I would say so far this spot is Better than Jolizas and cheaper! CASH ONLY, next to a parking lot so easy parking.

    About two years ago, I regularly visited this place every Friday and occasionally on Saturdays,…read moredespite the roughly 20-mile drive from my home. At the time, I enjoyed the food and considered the drive worthwhile. However, after the restaurant changed cooks, I noticed a decline in the overall quality and stopped returning. Today, I decided to give it another try and stopped by for a small bite. I ordered the vampiro, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The meat lacked noticeable seasoning or flavor, which was particularly disappointing given the restaurant's claim of cooking with mesquite coals. The tortilla topping also appeared to be more like a pre-made tostada than a tortilla toasted over an open flame. Traditionally, I would expect a lightly charred tortilla, which adds flavor and texture to the dish. Based on this visit, the quality has not returned to what I remember from two years ago. I was disappointed with the food and do not plan to come back to this location or any other for that matter.

    El Sauz is THE late-night munchies spot!…read more I've been coming here for years, and one of the things I love most is that they're open late. I've ordered food here as late as 2:30 AM! They have a sit-down restaurant, a karaoke room, and even a walk-up window outside if you're just looking to grab something quickly. They're known for their tacos and their spicy habanero salsa, which definitely is spicy, be warned. LOL If you're dining inside, the chips and salsa are top-tier. Sooooo good and addicting! My personal favorite is the shrimp quesadillas. They're tiny, but mighty when it comes to flavor! I also like ordering their oysters. So far, they've always been clean, fresh, and hit the spot. They also have Micheladas, both the traditional version made with alcohol and a non-alcoholic version made with mineral water. Both are really good, and I highly recommend giving them a try! And for dessert, the rice pudding is served cold, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Everyone I've brought here has been happy with their food and their choices, which says a lot because I've brought many friends and family here. As far as parking goes, you can usually find street parking, there's a parking lot, and there's also parking behind the restaurant. I will say the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you're local, it's really not a big deal. If you're coming from outside the city and aren't familiar with the area, I'd recommend just dining inside. There's a lot of homeless and liquor store activities across the street. It's usually not a big deal, but again if you're not used to it, you may freak out. Overall, El Sauz is one of my go-to spots for the late-night munchies, post concert, club, bar etc.

    Del Real Foods Birria is premade birria that tastes better than this, and you can buy it along with…read morea premade bag of diced onions and tortillas from almost any grocery store. We were so excited to try this place but left very disappointed. It was about $2.7 per taco considering 6 tacos were $16.5. So yeah, given the price, there are higher quality options locally. These unfortunately were crunchy, chewy, premade tortillas, cheese not grilled in properly, birria and chicken so dry and stringy and also tasted premade (you can tell when the meat doesn't retain the juice and is dry, and the flavor is stale), and pickled vegetables that somehow didn't taste pickled. The other problem was the portion of the consomé size, which was way too small. The best thing was the grilled onions and consomé because you literally can't possibly fk that up. Although the consomé was a bit too gravy-like, and thick which considering the quality of everything else...was off putting. Ambiance felt fast paced, cramped parking, and a little dirty from being dated but it also had a fun, casual nightlife vibe. The service was fast and kind. They answered questions quick and politely without rushing us out of line. We had really high hopes for this place. This was not a first time either, we tried these guys years ago but even then it was mid. Now it just confirmed it. We do not recommend coming here unless you are craving tacos you can't make at home with premade ingredients, or find at another restaurant.
