Super cute restaurant good luck finding parking though. I was lucky and got there as someone was leaving. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very comfortable. We got the tacos al pastor and they were delicious, so much flavor. The enchiladas were delicious too, I just didn’t really like the rice but I’m picky with Mexican rice. Can’t wait to visit again and try something else on the menu! Oh! And the chips and salsa were fresh! My mom loved the salsa and she’s usually picky too lol

Been going here for years, so a bit biased. Pretty much a 3 person show. Salsa is hot, fresh every day, little different everytime. Meals are delish and everyone I take there wants to go back. I often get a combo plate with taco, enchilada or the big avacado salad. It is truly a small mom/pop place, tho more just a pop place. Outdoor and indoor seating.Kid-friendliness: I see families in there at night. They can put tables together for bigger groups.

I just ate the greatest breakfast burrito of my life. I'm in awe. Get it with the potatoes on the outside. It's a transformative experience. Bravo El Carpintero. Wow. Also, great people run this restaurant. That's all.

This place is has become our favorite Mexican restaurant in town. The menu is priced super inexpensive and the food is absolutely delicious. By far the best rice and beans in town and the entrees are some of the most delicious Mexican dishes we've ever had! We have lived in Burbank over a decade now and can't believe we hadn't tried it sooner!

Such a nice find! Located across the way from WB Studios, this is an authentic small business and Mexican restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed. A couple of things: - Parking was odd, we couldn't find where to park but there is sidewalk parking directly in front of the restaurant for three cars; we thankfully were able to snatch one of those - The restaurant is small and definitely quaint and actually seems to be like a converted house? We came on a chilly night and the restaurant was cold but there were multiple heaters set up for patrons as needed. - There is a single server who was nice and helpful when answering questions about our food selection - Food was really good, not only were the enchiladas perfectly stuffed, the Chile Verde Burrito had excellent balance of meat and cheese. Lastly, the price you simply cannot beat. For the quality of food, you are definitely getting a high quality meal for seemingly fast food prices. I'd highly recommend visiting!

Came in Tuesday at 5:30 for my daughter's birthday and the restaurant was closed. Please update your hours on Facebook. It says here hours are 8-8. Would have loved to try the food.

Monday night. Parking is severely limited to the street or closed bank lot. Food is delicious! From beginning to end, everything was full of flavor. It seems there was one cook and one waitress; our service was fine. It's a small restaurant but cozy.

It's not bad at all. I was a little disappointed when I ordered the fajitas. They were good, a little dry and lacked flavor, and they don't bring you the fajitas to make your fajita, just the filling.
