“A beautiful date night spot where you can sit beneath string lights nestled in an alleyway, listening to live music (plus, they have outdoor heaters!). Plates are tapas style and the bar is full, with an advantage for mezcal enthusiasts. Bonus- The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They recommended some drinks for us to try and gave us some suggestions on the entrees. The drinks were great and we recommend the sea bass! Nice atmosphere with good service and lots of mezcal.“

“Food five stars, service five stars...The food is good, I like spicy but they have a good balance of flavor that made the extra spice I usually like unnecessary, the portions are generous. I don't really like mole but after trying some of their mole, I don't think I can continue saying that. The restaurant is cozy, clean and has good/attentive staff. Our server was Rene and he is courteous and attentive, next time I will try their desserts I just wasn't ready for their portions and got full / was left with no room for dessert. The four stars on the atmosphere section is only because, for me to truly judge a restaurant's atmosphere you need to experience it during its busy time when it's buzzing with people and all the staff is present. I love that it is cozy, it is and feels like an authentic family restaurant. I don't like taking pictures of my food as it gets in the way of fully being present and enjoying the experience so go see it and taste it for yourselves. I recommend it.“

“Food and service were terrific. You HAVE TO get the nachos. It's HUGE and loaded with toppings, including a large portion of sour cream and guacamole. Our family of 4 devoured those nachos but were SO full after eating them that we could hardly eat our dinners!! We basically took our entrees ToGo because we couldn't eat anymore. I took off a star bc they were out of horchata and Jamaica drinks and the fountain orange soda tasted weird, almost soapy?? Other than that the food and service were top notch. If we're ever back in Pasadena we will definitely be back. Also, the complimentary chips and salsa are very good too.“

“What an unexpected delightful surprise! So glad my better half and I came here for dinner. Went to Dollar Tree to pick up some holiday decorations for work. All that browsing through Dollar Tree made us hungry. So pretty much our decisions as we exited the Dollar Tree parking lot were El Pollo Loco, Taco Bell or this place, Birria Masters. We decided we wanted to try something new and went with Birria Masters. We are so glad that we did. So here's the rundown: For ambiance, it's a food stand in a parking lot. Unpretentious, simple tables and benches. Does its job. Don't let it's appearance deter you from going. For service, there were three gentlemen. All were nice and inviting. Excellent customer service. We ordered the enchiladas queretanas and taquitos dorados. Food presentation and taste was unexpected. Both dishes were beautiful. What got me with the dishes is that they were elevated but in an understated way. They used microgreen sprouts. I love sprouts and if a place uses them in their plating, in my opinion, they are fancy fancy and they know what they are doing. The taste of both dishes were delicious as well. The meat was seasoned and cooked well. The produce they use was fresh and again, they used microgreen sprouts. I don't know any other food/taco stand that uses microgreen sprouts...do you? I don't think so. I think that if you are deciding on a place to go and have dinner, please give Birria Masters a try. I hope that when you try their food you will be pleasantly surprised as we were. Birria Masters is definitely a diamond in the rough.“

Fries are very good, next time I'm going to get the fries without chili & cheese. All in all it's ok, I will definitely come back and try the tacos and Chili Verde and I'll update.“

Everything was so delicious. The tacos came on blue corn, and the burrito had just the right portions of each of its ingredients. Even the green and red salsas that came with the burrito were so flavorful that we used all of the salsa cups they gave us to go.The chips and salsa were also insanely good. The tortilla chips were cooked fresh - light and crispy. The pico de gallo was so flavorful, it was likely the most flavorful pico we've ever had. We wiped our plates clean, and look forward to coming again. For anyone interested, yes they sell tortillas in their store.“

I've driven up and down Orange Grove Blvd HUNDRADS of times and never knew Mendez Restaurant was there until today, it was a HOT day and I was thirsty so I saw "Super Liquor" and decided to stop in and grab some water, what do I find inside of this Liquor store tucked away in a back corner.... Mendez Restaurant. Restaurant might be a stretch they have two tables and a few chairs, but a pretty decent menu including Barbacoa de Borrego! I ordered food to go. Tacos ($2.25) Asada Nice lean and tender beef, but lacking in flavor, it was most likely cooked on a flat-top grill and not well seasoned, corn tortillas fresh but out of a bag. 3-Stars Al Pastor Another taco that was just ok, not bad just not the bold flavor you should have with al pastor. 3.5-Stars Torta Barbacoa de Borrego ($9.00) Look at the size of that Telera roll, not only is it big, it's soft and fresh, filled with plenty of Barbacoa de Borrego "Lamb" Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Jalapenos fantastic torta. 5-Stars“

“I have walked past Yahaira's Cafe on many occasions when I was in the Pasadena area, but never once did I walk inside. I was informed it served Mediterranean foods, but it turns out, they serve Mexican and/or Yucatan foods. I finally took one big leap forward and decided to check them out for the very first time last weekend. I am so glad I did! This cafe is so beautiful and colorful inside... the decor is lovely and quaint! Lots of bright colors on the walls. I found out this cafe is named after the lady owner's daughter, Yahaira. How sweet and loving is that! There is a black and white painting of gorgeous Yahaira on the wall. There are two door entries; one door on the Colorado Blvd side and the other door is slightly adjacent to it. They have outside patio seating and indoor seating. I was greeted right away by the lady owner upon my entry. Muchas gracias senora! After looking at the two menus (each had different items on them), I knew exactly what I wanted to try. Let me tell you, when I go big, I go big especially when it comes to food LOL. I ordered the Shrimp Tostada... OMG, huge and amazingly delicioso... 6 big tasty shrimps (8 would have been better because I love shrimp LOL), 1 shrimp taco (this one was the #1 best tasting... love the 4 shrimps!), 1 fish taco (this one was #2 best tasting... tons of blackened fish by the way), 1 chicken taco (this was my least preferred... chicken was a tad dry IMHO), 1 order of fries (nice, thin, and crispy... yummy!), and 1 vampiro drink (good and very healthy). One thing I loved about the tacos was the tomatos and onions were not diced, they were in strips (first time ever seeing this form on a taco)... this gave it more depth in taste. Everything was served hot on vibrant and colorful plates... they were just delish... the foods not the plates LOL! My server was really nice and pleasant. The overall service was impeccable from the time I entered the cafe until the time I left. Thank you everyone! Yahaira's Cafe staff, keep doing what you do best at your craft! Thank you for sharing your passion in cooking up some amazing Mexican foods. I appreciate your warm and welcoming hospitality. I'll be back for more of your excellent foods and service!!!“

All I can say is if you're hungry and happen to be nearby, park on the street because the parking in back is minuscule, then sit in the bar, order a drink and whatever tamale you like.“

It was so good that after my first night going, I came back the next night and ordered the same thing (which was the fish burrito). The people working there are friendly and pleasant, and definitely seemed happy. The horchata was also definitely good, and I order horchata a lot.I liked how they had a dedicated parking lot and the outdoor seating + window setup. It's perfect for a casual, quick meal and it's easy to manage when you have a dog!Parking: It's enough space for maybe around a dozen cars.

“So we all know that I love love love Burrito Express. I've been going there for the same beef, bean, and cheese spicy burrito since the 80's. They are sooo consistent and the flavor of that burrito is exactly the same every time I have it. The best part about it is the deliciously seasoned machaca beef. Sooo yummy. But now it looks like they're trying a smash burger on a flour tortilla. The jury is out on that. While my 5 yr old grandson loved it, I was only mildly impressed. It had meat, pico de gallo, and I think cheese With 1000 island dressing. The flavor of the patty was good. But I'm not sure if this concept works. Glad I got my burrito though. It was AMAZING as always!!“

“This is our comfort food. It's been awhile since we have been here but the food quality is still on point. We ordered the guacamole and chips, taquitos, and the super burrito. Always taste fresh, great salsa bar, and the guacamole is delicious. Will try and come back more often to this small taco shop in Pasadena.“

“I was driving by town and I was in the mood for some chicken. I stopped by and decided to try some their spicy chicken. It was really spicy and delicious. I recommend this place to anyone who loves spicy chicken and is in town. They had good customer service and it was very nice and detailed inside representing the Mexican culture. They’re open Monday-Sunday from 10:00am-9:00pm.“

Wet Burrito

“The food was so delicious that I couldn't believe there wasn't more people there while we ate there. This place should be much more popular as the food was absolutely top notch! I wish I would have stopped in and checked them out before. I highly recommend this awesome home cooked food being served by the friendliest, sweetest, kind people. This place is a well kept secret that should be in the spotlight. Birria and chimichanga were to die for.“
