Pleasantly surprised and happily full. I had the chilaquiles and they were so so good. The staff was very kind and accommodating, the restaurant is quaint and authentic, and parking was easy too. Will definitely be returning whenever I am in the area again read more

On Mondays they have a burrito special for $7, so I decided to try it. I got a Carnitas burrito, since carnitas is one of their specialties. I took it to go. It was really, really large. So I cut it in half, and that was plenty for me for lunch. I must say, I did enjoy the first half. The next day I warmed up the other half. To my surprise, there were large chunks of carnitas (more like strands) that we're super dry and hard. In fact, some of the carnitas I wasn't able to eat, because it was so tough (but there was a lot of it). Interesting how the burrito filling was so unevenly distributed. Although I would not order this again, aside from the super tough carnitas chunks, the good bites of carnitas were very flavorful. The beans and rice.. the overall burrito mixture was good. In addition, it was a great value, considering that I ate it over a two day period. The service was fine and interior decor is bright and colorful. There are nice tables inside where you can eat and enjoy your meal. JJ's son loves the chicharron plate (which I have never tried) and he drives quite a distance just for this plate- he dines in. I'd be open to trying a burrito with a different meat some day in the future. read more

Was looking for some tasty carnitas and chiccarones sp) so decided to give Zamora Bros a shot. Good but not exceptional. Most Mexican carnitas come with two tortillas due to the intensity of meat, however their prep was one tortilla. In addition to food prepared on site, they also provide veggies and other items for sale. read more

Very disturbing business practices here. Need to learn how to clean and keep food safe to eat. Avoid at all cost. The health department definitely needs to visit. Was a big mistake to eat the food. Was throwing up all night read more

Food fresh and carnitas tacos my favorite. Must try!!! Great customer service Chocharron was bomb fresh out the CAZO read more

Maybe visited on an off day or time for to go? 830amish Friday, which gave us the opportunity to self clamp pick the best meat cuts and such. Then you pay per lb for it. You can pay for a number of tortillas. $7.99 for their homemade mild sauce. Meats were either very dry hard, more oily than what we are use to, overly salty in many parts. Maybe we picked the wrong cuts of each meat? We visited early too. Unsure if there's a better time to really get fresh cooked meat per lb here. Sorry due to this, we are not interested in trying this place again. Not one meat piece we got was good to try again. Tons of great places nearby to still explore. read more

The carnitas (if you want to call them that) are not how they used to be. You better find another carnitas place.

I've ordered quite a few times from here because it's near my work, and all times have been different experiences. The quality of the food is inconsistent. Sometimes good, sometimes bad (and stomach aches for later). The service is friendly BUT their wait times can be long because it's one person taking orders and then making the food. read more

Where do i begin? I came in to buy some chicharron. I picked my order and handed it to the lady behind the counter. It weighed .50 lbs. The owner came from outside as she was weighing the order. He was going to charge me for the. 50 lb when the lady stopped him to add more weight and clearly told him in Spanish wait "por cobra mas". I looked at her and said that's wrong. She looked at me knowing I understood what she said. Never again. So much for helping the"gente". read more

Service was unprofessional, the lady cooking did not stop talking on the phone the 20 minutes I spend ordering and waiting for my food. Not even to take my order did she put her phone down. Messed up my order. I odered 2 burritos with mixed carnitas which have no mixed carnitas and had no rice pure beans. Out of all the bites i gave to the burrito only 2 of those bites had carnitas, the rest was pure beans. Smh the burritos were so small that they just looked like flour tortilla tacos. I also ordered 2 tacos of carnitas mixed and those had pure carnitas which were very hard. The restaurant was a bit dirty it could sure use a little sweeping. read more

been going to them for many years.....buy it by the pound or stop in for.a taco lunch either they're its yummy...the carnitas tacos are my favorite ones here but its all good!...supply your party and tell em you made it LOL... read more

The lady today took a little too long to come help us. And when she did , she wasn't very welcoming. We decided to leave. I wasn't feeling her vibe. I'll come back another day, not so early. read more

AUTHENTIC homestyle Mexican food. This place is what hipster places try to mimic. Good old fashioned mexican cooking and charming atmosphere. I had the Chile verde plate that's served with rice and beans, and as always it did not disappoint. We also ordered the menudo, and it doesn't get any fresher than this. The meat is super tender and clean, and the flavors are nostalgic just like grandmas. If you like spicy, try the red salsa, it's a good kicker. Let's not forget the fresh made tortillas. Yes, freshly made. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed and you will be back. read more

Horrible service, thank god I learned math in class because the young guy cashier with the beard gave me 20cents change when it should have been 90cents change back and when I told him that is not 90cents, he took the time to count change as if it was going to add up to 90cents, then he doesn't know what to say or do so he then tells me that's all he has in change, is that okay?? it would have been fine if he would of told me they are out of change instead of thinking I'm dumb enough to not realize it's was off about 70cents, not being honest to a customer and thinking ur customers can't count... I will no longer support this family owned business... I would go at least once a week but no longer... also wasn't the first time he messed up my order... read more

Tried them, but the carnitas were dry. Not the best carnitas I'm town for sure. I'm picky when it comes to food and this place did not meet my expectations. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Enjoyed having a bite here. The restaurant is nice and open, I ordered a California burrito "de lengua," which did not disappoint. I order in Spanish just to get my reps in, but the cashier responds in English (guess she doesn't approve of my workout style). I speak in tongues, I'm a linguist, numbers aren't my thing, I'm adept with arithmetics though I don't do well under pressure. Given enough time and space, the calculations will be deadly accurate, but mostly I stick to words and letters, to each his own, right? Strengths and weaknesses, it takes a village to raise a child, variety is the spice of life and all that. The news is on and none of it is good, but it's in Spanish and I appreciate that. I'm reading the headlines, reading the lips, taking the temperature, figuring the facts versus the fictions, nothing is alright, but that in and of itself is going to have to be OK. The supervisor fingers the enter key and generates the report that will describe a situation that does not match the services rendered. Take it anyways, my fellow man, take it all, it wasn't mine to begin with. Speed metal blaring from tiny tubes made of cheap tin, no comment, no insight, no help with empowerment, but the numbers look good. Fraudulence is rampant and the world would like it fast. Finish before even starting, quickly running out of gas. As for me I cannot do without my constitutionals and so I'll walk on home as always. I'm grateful for a well made burrito though, so that I can go on thinking as clearly as the center of a Belgian fry. read more

Zamora Bros - California burrito de lengua - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was very surprised that donate those are $20 a pound and also charge $20 a pound for Chicharrón. I think that's over priced. I was disappointed with the beans as they were supposed to be refried and they were just water. It's quite a disappointment as I used to go quite often. I don't know what has happened. read more

Good food not so good service! Lady taking orders has an attitude like if she doesn't want to be here. Gives more attitude when adding more items to order. Like i'm paying you for the food its not like you're making it for free. Please if you know somewhere with better customer service and great food go there! Avoid coming here because honestly there are much better places than here. read more

Zamora Bros - And they work without masks. Please don't sneeze on my food please and thanks. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The carnitas tacos are amazing. No other way to describe them than gifts from God, sent to this small family run meat market and restaurant in East Los Angeles, where he allows you to buy them. They even come in 3's to remind you of the Holy Trinity. See how he works? They speak and understand Spanish, English and I can now attest to Spanglish as well so there is no reason not to stop in. It's not fancy but a very humble place that welcomes you in with their amazing food. There was a small line that went quickly and after placing my order, it was a mere few minutes before I was back in my car enjoying them. Simple food with amazingly complex flavors that washed down nicely with a Mexican Coke but are probably even better with a beer (just not while driving). Certainly worth the trip if you're in the Valley and unforgivable if you are in DTLA or closer and don't stop by. read more

Some of the yummiest tacos I've ever had! I had to come check out a driving route in this neighborhood today and decided along the way that tacos were a must. It was super early, so not much was open - but thankfully Zamora's was open. This is such a cute little place. You can tell there is MAAAAAAAJOR history in this place. From the memorial on the wall to whom I assume was the patriarch of this place. To the really cute display for one of the younger family members who graduated 'SC. There was a woman in the corner who was making fresh food and there were chicharones fresh in the window (I don't even like chicharones but these looked great!). They also sold fresh homemade sausages, various cuts of meat, and flan and puddings. There was a little bit of a language barrier between myself and the gentleman at the counter but it all worked out. Although we couldn't communicate too greatly I felt totally welcome by his beaming smile and politeness. We did our best to work together and I had an order of 4 tacos (2 chicken, 2 carne asada - under $2 each) and a chile relleno for just over $11. The tacos were ahhhhhmazing! And I drove home before eating the chile releno but even stone cold it was amazing. The homemade red chili taco sauce was some of the best sauce I have ever had. Zamoras doesn't scream fancy; but if you are looking for a great authentic meal at a great price you have come to the right place. read more

Amazing!!! Amazing!! Amazine! Zamora Brother's is 1/2 meat market (they make their own chorizo and sausages) 1/2 restaurant. The restaurant part serves up amazing authentic and tasty mexican food "estilo Iripuato". What;s more, this hidden treasure in the heart of East Los Angeles serves God's gift to Pozole. I can't sing the praises of this little family-owned restaurant enough. read more

This place is the best! Fresh meat and tortillas made by a woman right where you walk in the restaurant part. Family owned. The woman who's one of the owners is so nice and sweet. She always gives us samples of stuff before our food arrives. I usually don't like flan but this is the best flan ever...doesn't have the jello consistency. The huevos rancheros are amazing and the carnitas are too. It's about as fresh and friendly as you can get. read more

These are my dad's favorite chicharrones in all of LA! (He has persistently requested for me to buy some and deliver them to his new home in Ventura County.) He was very happy and pleased on Sunday my fiance bought him these delicias to take over for our weekend visit! read more

Burrito de chicharron verde is very tasty and delicious. I'm sure chicharron rojo is just as good. In the past ice also had the carnitas burrito key me tell you they do not skimp on the carnitas well served! read more

Zamora Bros - Chicharron verde burrito YUMMM - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

On a business trip in East LA, I found this spot using yelp reviews and they were spot on. I had a simple plate of asada, rice and beans. It came with warm hand made corn tortilla. Just fantastic. Greeted warmly and left content! !! Give this humble place a try! read more

No stars, will never go back, the only protein that's ok is the asada, that's it. They need a new authentic mexican Chef.

Im a fatty and love fried anything but damn i came here twice just because i was in disbeleif on how crappy the food was... The first time i went i got a chicharron and I LOVE chicharrones so when i bit into it i was sooo grossed out and in shock that i tasted a bad chicharron because in East L.a we only know how to make good Chicharrones i got 2 homemade tortillas they were decent but ive had better... tonight i went to try their tacos just so i gave them an honest review... WTF it was HURENDOUS!... eewwww... the Asada taco was like a turd in a tortilla... it was just awful flavor was off and the meat was dry and tough it was a decent size but at a $1.75 i would never go back... The taco de Carnitas... GEEZ... it was Super dry and no seasoning and it was just bad i didnt finish the tacos i just pulled off the tortilla and ate it... if i could give a 0 star i would but ill give the 1 star cuz i have no choice and well the tortilla and the cilantro were decent on the taco so they get one star for that!... people only come here because they are reminicent of the old times when Zamora was actually good... Oh they have the best customer service and i really appreciate that... so i go recommend you buying your meats but taking them home to prepare them yourself. read more

Pretty tasty for what it is. Do not come expecting fancy...come expecting tasty! They have various selections of meat in heaters that you can choose and put on a tray, you can order at the counter, and you can sit and also order from the menu. The tortillas are hand made and w a side of queso fresco waaaay amazing (add a bit of salt and salsa and go to town!). read more

Try these carnitas, they are so good!! I love getting a pound of this stuff with some bolillo bread and just go to town. You will not be disappointed! read more

There is a King Taco nearby this place but I'd much rather come to Zamora Brother's. Their Tacos de asada are amazing with a little squeeze of lime juice (which should be standard at all Mexican joints) They also have a healthy sized burritos. If you want good Mexican food for cheap, it doesn't get any better than this whole in the wall! read more

I drove from Mid-Wilshire to try the carnitas. They are better at 1) Zamora on Pico and 2) Los Cinco Puntos
