Excellent breakfast tacos and service, all the raves online are right!Not much space to eat in, think it's mostly outside or maybe at the bar next door.

I really meant to include a photo with my review, but it was gone before I could get one. Outstanding BBQ from some genuinely nice people! The brisket was moist and tender and the ribs absolutely fell off the bone. Don’t skip the mac and cheese or the greens. If you’ve been driving by and not stopping, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Eat at AJ’s!

It's not a huge place, but it feels and smells delicious. Always a solid choice for lunch. I'm lucky it's in walking distance, but it also always has parking available.

If you know anything about Texas-style BBQ, AJ’s hits EVERY time. Not only do they serve the best brisket in Los Angeles, but the sides are incredible too down to the homemade pickles. And I hate pickles. 10/10 as a whole.

Just got some catered for work. Man this is delicious. Can't believe I haven't been here before. Definitely going to go again. Mac n cheese is rich and thick. Hot links are just right, not too spicy. Great pork and brisket. Fantastic.

So the first time I ate there the food was great. Tonight I went and it was terrible everything was bland and my chicken had so much seasoning on it I couldn’t even eat it. Will not be coming back and I tipped 10$ leaving thinking it was going to be the same quality.

Food was a bit over priced for the option and combos available for my
I love places like these, unassuming on the outside with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Pam and Ram we're super friendly and fun to talk to you, but let's get to the meat of the story.. I had the breakfast taco that should be known as the taco that just keeps getting better and better. First the tortilla. Insanely good, made in-house and one of the best flour tortillas I've ever had. Then the scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, not overdone whatsoever with the perfect amount of fluff one needs in scrambled eggs. The brisket was tender and juicy and smoky and flavorful and all the things that you want in brisket. Cotija and pico to round it out. Super generous portion and incredibly satisfying. Can't wait to come back and try everything else. Thank you guys!

Some food was great, some was not.PROS:We got the 2 meat plate, a brisket sandwich, and a brisket burrito. The 2 meat plate was great! Their Mac and cheese side is LEGIT!! The brisket sandwich was also great! We got fries with it which were very good. Their BBQ side is tasty as well!The service was good too.CONS:The brisket burrito was not good. It was flavorful, but there were way too many peppers in it- like half of the burrito was peppers! Flavors were good & the brisket was good but it was SO GREASY! The burrito was literally drenched in oil because there was so much oil in it, it was pretty gross.They also have had issues with keeping food items at proper storage temperatures (take a look at their recent health inspection reports). Though, it seems like it could be as simple as fixing the seal on their fridges. Then again, they have had repeated issues with this health violation in the past few years based on their health inspection reports. So they either have been having issues figuring out why their fridges are not holding proper temperatures or they have just been complacent about this issue. It's worth noting, though, that they have maintained an A grade consistently.OVERALL:Great food (with the exception of the brisket burrito) and the quality of the meats seems high! I'm not sure if I would justify the price but then again, maybe I would- the meats seem high quality. Just avoid the brisket burrito...

I ordered on Door Dash and no chips came with their queso. I'm from Texas and I have never had queso delivered with no complementary chips.
