“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

El Pulgarcito De America Mexican •
1615 Richey St, Pasadena

“They recommended it to me because it was a place that sells medicine and my surprise was that I actually found what I was looking for. The price depends on the consumer's preference since tablets and/or capsules will always be cheaper than injections, for example. They have a very good assortment of pharmaceutical products ?As something extra to mention, they have 3 branches and if you choose some type of injectable medicine, in the branch that is located on La Scardel and 45 you have the option of putting it right there, something that I see as good for those people who struggle to find someone from trust?“

“For the longest time we have wanted to try the Trumpo tacos place in Pasadena as we have heard good things from friends about it. Finally this weekend it became a reality. We piled into our vehicle and headed to go try these tacos. We even invited friends who had earlier been here to meet us there. The restaurant is simple and the invitation is the big hunk of meats on the outside. We got our drinks and then began the decision of what to get.The Trumpo was a no brainer. We also go with some beef fajita, Tripe and some trumpo with avocado and cheese. That was all we came here to get. The drinks were good. I got the Jamaica (Hibiscus) which was not too sweet and had a different taste. The trumpo was definitely the star of the evening. The plain shaved meat(Pork) was perfect and though I did add the green sauce and lime it was just simple goodness which really does not need any help. The tacos are small but don’t let that fool you, you will be full soon. The other tacos with the cheese and avocado did not add much to the flavor but if you wanted to get more bang for your buck you would get that.Definitely a must-try place.“

“Good place with a delicious menu!Although very not crowded on a Saturday afternoon....Their prices are very fair and according to the size of what you receive...(in other places they give you less for the same price)The only thing I didn't like is that the menu is placed at floor level, I suppose for children, but I think if it were up on the wall it would be better, the menu images are somewhat small and lack more quality and resolution.. ....they could be better and bigger.And also having only 3 tables to eat inside is not enough and I think it scares away many clientele since groups of friends or large families would give up going due to lack of seats and tables.100% recommended!“
