One of the best taco stands around. I always come for the Al pastor. Prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. So much meat is dumped onto all the items. Nice spread of condiments and more unique meat options available too.

What does this place not have? Amazing tacos. Burritos are also great and mission style (rice, beans, meat, optional cheese), which you don't see as much in LA. Very reasonable prices compared to other LA places for very generous meat portions and double tortilla. Tortillas must be home made - they're soft and fresh even if not. Authentic pastor spit. Friendly staff and convenient payment methods. Several salsas to choose from and short wait times. They also have not only mulitas, but tacos with cheese at a price point in between tacos and mulitas, which I've never seen in LA but is very authentic to where I come from in Mexico. Easy parking in the Vons lot. And kudos for a proper Mexican business name. Incredible overall. Keep it up!

Solidly some of the best food you can find in LA - great tacos, burritos & mulitas. The meat tastes incredible & the tortillas are handmade. PSA: they have champurrado and it’s phenomenal.

Hands down! The best tacos I have ever had! The tortillas are hand made and in all the multiple times I order their asada, there is no gristle! The tacos are filled with tender meat which packs a ton of flavor, not to mention the condiments are just as delicious! Also, try their al pastor and burritos!

I wish I hadn't waited so long to see why this place always had a line. The food is so, so good. I love the pastor, my wife loves the chicken. Just very, very flavorful. They really fill their burritos. I'll be back again and again.

Great neighborhood taco stand! Tortillas are hecho a mano and the single tortilla taco can maintain structural integrity while holding large portions of meat/juice. Red salsa has spice and green sauce got good flavor. Prices are very fair, $2/taco. Service is quick but lines can get long cuz locals know wassup. Remember to tip.
