    Carnitas y cueritos

    The food here is always always!!! On point and delicious no matter what meat or dish you get you won't be disappointed. Service is great kind of chipotle style set up but delicious selections. They make you feel at home when you hear one of the cook ladies yelling asking you what are you taking so they can warm up your tortillas by hand! Definitely my top three places to get definitely! On my once a week spot

    Inside

    Went on a Saturday morning and there was a line out the door. The people were very nice and the line moves fast. Decided to try the Chile Relleno Burrito with asada and the Chile Rojo Burrito. Both were great! They definitely pack the burritos and they are big for a reasonable price. I will say it's a bit greasy but the flavor is amazing. I added yellow cheese to the Chile Rojo Burrito and it reminded me of Romonas which is great because it saves me the drive. The salsa that goes inside is good so next time I'll definitely add more. The salsa given on the side is not good at all. I definitely felt like more of the salsa inside the burrito was needed or they need a different side salsa. Will definitely be back for burritos, just with extra salsa!

    I'll be honest -- I never would've come here if my clients hadn't insisted. They told me, "It's a hole-in-the-wall," and I said, "That's fine, as long as the food's worth it." And wow... it's worth it. This place serves some of the best burritos I've had anywhere in L.A. County. You'd never guess it from the outside -- it's hidden away and totally unassuming -- but that's what makes it special. It's the kind of spot you only find through word of mouth. If you're a fan of Burritos La Palma, you'll probably love this place even more. The burritos here are huge -- easily three or four times the size. Since the restaurant's named after Uruapan, I wanted to try their carnitas, but my client swears by the chile relleno burrito. I couldn't decide, so they topped my chile relleno with carnitas. Best decision ever. It was around $18, but the burrito was massive -- enough for two meals if you have self-control (which I didn't). The tortillas have that soft, stretchy texture like Burritos La Palma, but the flavor combo here is next level. If you're ever near Compton, don't skip this spot. Their carnitas and chile relleno burrito is my new favorite in all of Los Angeles County.

    Had a fly in my burrito which was very disguised had to go back to the owner saying it's okay like no it's not okay to eat a fly this place is the most dirty place

    Old school authentic food. We had the chicharon, buche, asada and chorizo tacos. The food was bomb!! Something your family would make. I hate when people complain about prices at these small places but are fine with crazy places at higher end establishments. Prices were decent for the amount of meat that was piled into our tacos. We saw them making the burritos and those things are massive. Easily could be three meals. Service was fast...there was a small line when we got there and bigger one when we left. Enough said.

    The food is great but area is shady. And pot holes in every other street. So be careful when you are going there.

    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.

Carnitas taco- the meat was really tasty. It was soft but still crispy with texture. A little excess oil. But was really good. Could be seasoned more. Asada- meat was soft.
