I was craving some carne asada and well this little place had some good reviews so we decided to check it out.. this is a small location located in a shopping center.. The cook took our order and was really nice.. I wanted tacos but decided on a carne asada burrito let me tell you this thing was huge!! The burrito was good and the 2 salsas they gave me on the side were good.. if you like little hole in the wall places with good food then this is right up your alley..

Al pastor , lengua , and chicken taco
Fernando M.

Was invited by the owner to try their food , I took him up in his offer and was very surprised to how good the tacos are . Great flavor , great portions , and fantastic family business. Come support !

Bomb pastor tacos
Santino P.

Bomb ass taco's, Great spot to come to at night after drinking or even in the morning anytime tacos are phenomenal and taste like a fresh off the grill Pastor is exceptionally good with the pieces cut it's a bigger slices not grounded the carne asada is made to orderAnd has the texture, look. I seen people order other meats and they were good as well . Must try

White Menudo
Alex M.

White menudo with no hominy and hardly any meat. I waited for 20 min and was the only customer in the store. Menudo is bland and was boiling hot while all the staff were just standing around laughing. I'll never come back here, this was a waste of money and also disgusting, had to cover it up with lime and tapatio

Chicken Torta
Krishna C.

One more joint that I had not dined at previously. I ordered Chicken Taco Asada Taco Pastor Taco Free Chicken Taco with checkin Chicken Torta. Total with tax came to $10.90 Pros: Mom and Pop shop. Cons: Meat was not good at all. Steak was downright inedible. (-1) Expensive for the taco portion. (-1)

This place is awesome. I got 2 asada, 2 pastor & 1 shrimp taco! I couldn't believe how good it all was. The shrimp was breaded & fried then chopped up, it was delish. And the avocado salsa was spicy, I couldn't stop eating it. Less then $10 for 5 tacos and that included a $1 tip in a the jar. Definitely worth going here. It's a tiny shop with a few tables, I got mine to go.

Burrito
Hugo N.

Asked for a Asada burrito.. looks like it's pure rice and beans.. definitely not going there anymore

Hanging with owner, Oscar Sanchez. He's super friendly
Sean S.

Loved eating here and spending time with famous taquero from Colima, Oscar Sanchez. Great value for what you're getting, only $1.50 per taco!!! A MUST is the house speciality, taco de al pastor. If you are feeling adventurous, get the Lengua. Will come again!

Al pastor torta. Tender meat, crispy ciabatta.
Mari M.

I barely see taco places with the spit fire grill so I had to try it. I ordered the al pastor torta. The meat is delicious on its own, but the limey green sauce truly is a total game changer. My friend tried the shrimp and pastor tacos, and agreed this taqueria's strength is definitely al pastor. So in case I wasn't clear, Al pastor + guac sauce + onion + cilantro = flavor packed/why didn't I find this place sooner/just do it.

I kept calm: but I got my torta on!
Marc L.

I have had, lunch and dinner here multiple times. The green sauce is epic. The people were extremely friendly. The food! I love their al pastor tortas. The tortas are the most authentic I have ever had!

Wall art
Lala J.

Tacos are pretty good, nice little whole in the wall spot. Good size/portion and the best part was home made yellow corn tortillas! I don't know if they do it everyday but they were bomb.com! And the Art Deco is so cute. And on my tacos I had to ask for the grilled jalapeño, FYI, doesn't come like that.

Literally subpar tacos for the price. Greasy af. No flavor. The salsa is at minimum ok.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

We came here because my cousin DJSP was the featured DJ this Sunday, so I did my Yelp research and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect because the most recent reviews were a couple of months old, no recent food photos and menu photos were outdated. However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too. It is very loud here with a full restaurant of diners, the live DJ and football games going with loud cheering fans, so if you have sensitive hearing, bring some ear plugs.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Great food! Staff was wonderful. Definitely worth it…read more Burria was fantastic. Not tons of seats, but good enough.

I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

I told her an iced tea with lemon. She said they only had the sweetened raspberry tea because they ran out of tea bags. I'm not a soda drinker so I ordered a water with lemon. Then I had to ask her for the lunch menu. She saw I didn't have one, only the regular menu. She gave me the one in her hand. It took awhile to get my water, and I had to ask for chips and salsa, because I guess they don't hand them out unless you request them. I ordered my food the two taco lunch combo. It looked good, however, the food was pretty bland. Even adding the salsa really didn't help. Also the hard taco shells looked like the kind you can get ordering tacos at Taco Bell. Lastly, when getting the check, I noticed that they add an automatic charge if you pay with a credit card. Even though it wasn't much, I paid with cash to avoid that. I usually give places two chances before I don't return. However, I'll probably not return. I know other Mexican restaurants in Uptown that are much better.
