Went to the location for a 2nd time in hopes that the service would be better.... unfortunately not. Once food was served, no one came back to check in on us. The table next to us was dirty when we came and was still dirty when we left. The meat was dry. Rice and beans was good. The bathroom is dark, and there's no paper towels. Please note that we were the only customer's there and there were 4 employees. To top it off a lady with her daughter came in and no employee reached out to her so she left. Definitely need to work on your customer service and work on serving meat fresh not dry. Not coming back.

i tried the steak tacos and the chicken tacos, i don't mind paying for quality, the meats are tasteless the salsas or awful and the water down avocado salsa was hidden, how can this be a taqueria when the authenticity is missing, taste like the meats are from Vons Supermarket i think the steak from Norms would make a better taco, i was embarrassed to ask for a refund.

OMG - the food are amazing! It is NOT your typical taco restaurant. This is for the adventurous ones! I love it. The Tablita option is WOW!!! Head, cheeks, blood, etc...for the adventurous people! I love the head! I ordered the pork belly taco and it was literally a slap of pork belly for my one taco! Definitely recommend for anyone who loves food and unique food. The parking lot is big, but not enough to accommodate during lunch hours, so watch out for that.Parking: can be very crowded during lunch hours and everyone is vying for space

Ordered some tacos with different choices of protein (asada, birria, adobada)and the flavor was lacking. They are small street style tacos but the meat did not taste marinated. The salsa and toppings didn’t taste super fresh. This is your basic sidewalk vendor style taco but with a nice atmosphere.Speaking of atmosphere they really need to lower the music. The tunes were good but the volume was overwhelming. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant is clean with nice seating options.Overall it wasn’t a bad experience but it wasn’t great either. There are much better tacos in Downey a short distance away (Teddy’s, Raul’s, Senior Birria, Tacos Don Goyo). I was really hoping to love this place but I’ll be skipping it for the other mention places.3/5

Me and my wife came here for valentines days tacos and the food was so bad we ended up agreeing on a divorce. Would not recommend

Absolutely no customer service. Walked in for the first time was not greeted, even after they seen me. Owner or manager (Latina), no greeting either. Waited 5-8 min. for food to go. During this time noticed a couple of tables full of empty glasses and trays, no one in any hurry to pick them up. Left with my order manager along with other employee just watch me walk out no farewell greeting or come back soon or at the very least a thank you. With some much competition you would think they may want to stand out from the rest but, not like this they won't. Tacos were not bad, but no customer service. At least watch a YouTube video to help you out if you lack social skills. Looking forward to next business that leases this place.

Best Taqueria in TOWN. The chilaquiles Verdes are to die for!!!! The atmosphere is great and you can watch your favorite team while enjoying the great food!!

Came to this place for first time, unfortunately they have completed a menu change so don't expect to have all of the options that are shown in the pictures here. Anyhow, the food is tasty, the portion sizes are generous and the place is pretty clean. That being said, the chilaquiles could use less sauce as they become really soggy in the box, and the pork belly, I prefer a bit more crispy, but it was tasty. I would recommend this place.

Tried this place out today. Service was fast, nice presentation and good flavor. The ambiance was laid back. We rate it at 8/10, alittle on the pricy side but it was good. My favorite was the Mar y Tierra taco.

I think it would be more beneficial if the person working the register spoke English. She only spoke Spanish, and that in itself was an issue since we only speak English. Beans were ok as far as canned beans go. Tacos were great!
