    I spotted this coupon at Food4Less--free taco and a drink with any purchase? Had to check it out. Glad I did! These tacos are straight fire! The guac was fresh, the meat was tender and juicy--honestly some of the best tacos I've had in CPT. No need to make the trip to TJ for that authentic flavor--these hit the mark. Shoutout to the manager, Antonio, for being super friendly and making me feel right at home.

    Some of LA's best Carne Asada Tacos

    Dead ass some of the best Carne Asada Tacos in LA. The smoky carne asada al carbon, the handmade tortillas, the avocado salsa, and their spicy red salsa omgaaawd. Legit taste like Baja Tacos from TJ/Ensenada style. They got the trompo Al Pastor. Pass on the Birria, personally didint like it.

    Quesadilla de asada with hand made tortilla
    Gladys N.

    For anyone who is craving carne asada tacos from Tijuana but refuse to do the drive down south, this is the place to get your fix at. I had the quesadilla de asada with hand made corn tortilla and it was delicious. The food taste so good here, we also tried the tacos de pastor and tacos de asada which were good. It's in the middle of Compton, I don't recommend eating since it's more of a pick up spot with a few tables outside. The service upon entering is welcoming and very nice staff.

    Order this on Uber eats and was extremely pissed ! I ordered 4 goat tacos with everything and salsa on the side and then 3 asada tacos plain for my autistic son. When opening our food none of the directions was followed the Asada tacos had hot salsa my son couldn't even eat the tacos even after I tried to pick through it. My goat tacos had salsa on them when I asked for it to be on the side and even checked the boxes for all of this. Waste of money and couldn't enjoy the food ! Top it off Uber won't give me a refund of $30.78

    They give tacos full of fat with out meat

    Ordered the carne asada mulita and it was incredible. Homemade tortillas, super flavorful carne…read moreasada, and the cheese was delicious. Portion size was HUGE and totally worth it. Seating is outside, perfect for a nice day. Oscar and the team are amazing -- they genuinely treat you like family and make the experience even better. You can feel the love they put into the food. Highly recommend. This spot is a must-try and I'll definitely be back.

    It's always taco time so I wanted to give this place a try. Decided to stick to corn tortillas…read moresince they make them on site (but still a fan of flour tortillas). Wound up ordering a birria quesadilla and 3 Al pastor tacos. All with corn tortillas but they charge you $2 extra for corn tortilla on the quesadilla but they didn't charge for the consume which was good. The corn tortilla for the quesadilla was a bit thick for my preference but I think that's the only way to keep all the meat inside and not break. I suggest getting the flour tortilla on quesadillas. But, the birria meat and consume were really good. And, you get a lot of meat in a quesadilla. It's big enough for 2 people. Al pastor was good too. Still need to try the carne asada. They charge 2% fee for credit cards so bring cash unless you ordered online. No parking except street parking which can suck around dinner time as they get busy. They also have few seats inside so you see people order ahead (online or phone) and double park to pick up. And, it's best if you speak some Spanish to communicate. Having said all this, perhaps a 3.5 is my rating.

The carne en su jugo tastes just like the one in Guadalajara, Mexico; fresh, comforting, and full of tradition. You can tell everything is made with care and real authenticity.

    Greetings, Flavor Budz!…read more I wanted to share a review for Wendy, the owner and operator, regarding her welcoming establishment. She was incredibly hospitable, especially since my husband and I were new patrons to her eatery. Naturally, I was craving tacos, as I often do. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this family-friendly eatery so close by. As you may know, they specialize in Birria, which, incidentally, is an impressive rendition of a traditional home-cooked meal. What I found most enjoyable about my dining experience was the grilled shells, which provided a delightful crunch. I appreciate various textures in my food, so I have specific preferences for how certain dishes are prepared. The flavors and seasoning combinations were also quite complimentary. I ordered the tacos, ramen, and quesabirria, and everything was delicious. The atmosphere is inviting, the food is prepared with care, and it is a family-owned business. They have now become a cherished part of my inner circle. Wendy, you and your family are truly gems, and I thank you for your hospitality.
