I'll repeat what so many have said, this is a (somewhat) hidden gem! I say somewhat because you could drive by this place without every noticing it, but the Metro E line's Pico/Aliso station is right in front, so it's very easy to get here. Prefer to drive? There is plenty of parking in the private lot! If you're in Boyle Heights, and want some fantastic tacos, you GOTTA try this place. All the meats are cooked to perfection, and the tortillas can barely hold all that goodness. Always generous with the guacamole and salsa, Claudio and his wife are making perfect tacos and will make sure you are completely satisfied. I highly recommend the asada, and the carnitas, which has that perfect crispy outside!
wettest burrito I’ve ever had 10/10
Order the shrimp burrito!! Sooooo delicious!! Their green salsa is tasty. Your food always comes with chips...always crunchy never stale. I order here once a week. Its a nice mom and pop joint. Support small businesses. They charge extra for using your card so Take cash if don't have to pay a few cents. Their prices are reasonable. Their parking lot is not so great, be very very careful very bumpy and a lot of potholes. Whatever you order is good. I just like the burritos
The best al pastor tacos I can have in this area. Carne asada is good.
Great service! Yummy food! Up there on the homestyle eats!
A chill low key taco spot. Margarita provides great service. They have an expansive menu that also includes burgers, fries, as well as vegan options.
Great service, good quality food, kinda old school burger/taco stand. Cash only currently. Unfortunately, only open Monday thru Friday
The asada torta was very good. The place is old and ugly but don't judge this book by its cover. The food is made with love and you can taste it in every bite. It's cash and zelle only. Give this place a try and you won't regret it.
