My favorite taco spot in LA. Best tacos. Best quesadillas Chill vibes. HIGHLY recommend.
For 26 years I've been coming to this place, folks. 26 years. More than most of you have been around. I've tried a million places, but this is still the OG taco spot for me. Quality has been consistent this whole time. The tortas, the burritos, the fish tacos, it's all good. And now they accept credit cards, btw. Enjoy!
The tacos are just really good. Service is great and it's easy to order. This is our go to place for good Friday night food!
Delicious affordable Mexican food. We got the cabeza, buche, al pastor, & lengua. They do not skimp on the meat, and have self-serve lime, radish, & roasted jalapenos. Been here since highschool and the quality is still the same, hits the spot!
One of the best spots around. The pastor burrito is one of my favorites, chicken tacos are also great, loaded with onion and cilantro and juicy chicken. Can say with confidence that their quesadilla will not leave you hungry (that mf is a unit frfr). Both salsas (red and green) are top notch. Red is the spicier of the two and the verde is way mild but flavorful. They provide fresh cut radish, lime and whole roasted jalapeños as sides and you get these yourself and pop them in a provided plastic bag while you wait for your order. Service is always matter of fact, straight business, no frills and professional. Food comes out super fast, I've never waited more than 5 mins for my order. A few spots to sit outside, maybe 8-10 total seats. I've seen a lot of first responders come here to eat, this place is a true neighborhood staple and I'm glad to support it. I don't always carry cash on me so I wish they had a tip option on the receipts for card transactions, as I'd always like to tip these guys and continue to support this Glendale establishment and its staff every time I visit. This place had me at hello. Total comfort food.
