Always get the tacos on Tuesday. Their asada has great flavor. Their red sauce is great and the perfect amount of heat. Great price. 4 tacos on Tuesday = 6$

Large variety of options, have only had tacos for late dinner twice but as good as any great taco truck in LA. Lengua was very good. Will be back for breakfast or more soon! Authentic, delicious. Confusing menu initially but have most meat varieties and solid so far.

After a long day of hitting the MTB trails in Santiago Oaks. I stopped by to grab a taco or two. Not gonna lie, I was aww'd of how clean and good the service is. The food is and the Michelada's are as well. Don't be fooled by the outside. Inside is a whole different story!!! (Pictured is a pacifico Michealada in a plastic cup. They serve them in glass as well)

Super worth it for the $1 taco tuesday deal. The red sauce was really good and spicy. Note: the parking lot is hard to manage since it is small and on a slant. If it’s a peak time maybe park at the Del Taco instead. The inside is really nice though, it doesn’t look like much on the outside but the inside is nice. I would only give 3 ⭐ if I had it without the sauce

I bought a breakfast burrito at $12.00, and a coffee, which costs $3.00. I ate all my food contains egg, cheese, ham, rice, and beans filled with a big flour tortilla. This is a good service for the restaurant.

Came a cross this restaurant on a TikTok video and sucede to stop by as it is on my way to work and let me tell you it is a great spot for lunch that’s if you forgot to pack it or your wife/husband didn’t pack one for you lol. They got your back as for $10 dollars you can get two breakfast burritos or a breakfast burrito and a lunch burrito or a torta a soda and chips for that price which is awesome. The food is great and they have options as their menu changes every day. Give them a try.

Got the taco place. Tongue was delicious, but the agua fresca was even better. Will come back and try something else.
