"I got the 3 carne asada taco combo. To start, all of this food for $13 in LA is incredible. I've never had such well-cooked carne asada. I would've posted a picture of the food, but it didn't stand a chance. I ordered from a distance, and the food arrived to me as if it had just come out of the kitchen. I will 100% be coming here to eat again and loved every second of the meal. "
"Asada Nachos- con todo! You can get nacho cheese OR melted shredded cheese. I like the fresh, crispy chips and it was not overloaded with cheese. Asada was flavorful and the avocado salsa was excellent. I would definitely order again and it's big enough for 2 to share."

"Still the best Horchata I've ever had. I love that the Crispy Tacos are fresh, delicious and fully intact because of the way they wrap them. The Chimichanga with meat is always more than 1 meal for me. This place is fantastic."
"The meat burrito, carne asada was perfectly marinated. The spicy red salsa can be spicier. The green salsa taste like the pickled carrots. I also ordered flauta shredded beef. The flauta shells were more like an wonton, almost like a chimichanga than fried tortillas which was definitely unique. Overall the seasoning was spot on, not too salty."

"This has become my new favorite spot to order Mexican food from. My sister ordered their California burrito yesterday and I tried some of hers when I tell you guys it was so good and flavorful. Truly the best burrito I have had. Today I decided to get my own as well as a few of the Al Pastor Tacos. Not only were the portion sizes of those tacos amazing but again they were so flavorful and so delicious. I would not only order from here again but recommend everyone that I know to come here."
