This Mexican restaurant at Don Zarape deserves every one of its five stars. I absolutely adored my experience here; it was our inaugural visit, and it exceeded our expectations. Despite the early closing time at 6 pm, we managed to arrive at 5 pm, giving us a satisfying hour to enjoy our meal. Next time, I'll be sure to arrive even earlier. I savored the fish soup, caldo de pescado, paired with horchata, while my wife delighted in the shrimp Coctel with a refreshing jaimaca drink. The flavors were outstanding. For your convenience, I've included the menus for you to peruse.

I ordered a carne asada burrito and I could not take a bite without having to remove fatty pieces that where in there. It was not a pleasant eating experience. I left half of it because I was so tired of pulling out pieces from my mouth. Terrible carne asada! ?

The plusses, salsa and homemade corn tortillas, these are delicious.Huevos was very tasty, but the chicken taco was dry with very little flavour. Guacamole was very chunky and expensive.

I was looking for street tacos on my way to an appointment while I was in Valley Village area and I came across this place as they were on the way to the appointment. Now I have been to several taco places all over the valley, (please check my yelp for reference), the East Coast Mexico, etc. and hands-down LA has the best Mexican food I will start with that. I ordered two Asada tacos and one pastor taco -- I was not happy with the yellow corn tortillas as they tasted stale on one of my tacos, it was about 1030 when I went so this could be a true thing, but in my opinion, the Asada meat tasted like it was left over from yesterday and reheat it today, which I am not a person to eat leftovers that's just my personal preference I make food at home I eat what I cook -- I order food out I eat what I buy so it was quite disappointing and I get it everyone is going through hard times, foods expensive for the restaurant industry. I can see why they would not either discard of the meat or take it home with them what their dynamic would be but to reuse it and you think your food is going to be fresh was very disappointing. I'm not gonna say I spent a lot of money on my tacos because I didn't spend a lot of money I think the tacos were three dollars each but even still give quality food for people who are ordering from a restaurant. I will give it to them. The Pastor taco was amazing. I should've just got three of those but I don't really eat much pork and the salsa and chips were good. The restaurant was a cute restaurant although I don't understand why having a full grown pitbull dog I guess it is trained sitting in the restaurant with one of your family members or friends hanging out is appropriate, but hey, that's just me I could understand if they had a back patio but they don't. The staff was very kind and friendly. But I must agree with one of the other yelp reviews that was recent the tortillas were not good at all and if you're going to buy store-bought tortillas, there's some great places that you can get them from to make authentic street tacos because that was not an authentic street taco or good quality Asada.

Great authentic Mexican food. I like cooking and this place has a great sazón. Everyone is always welcome by the staff. Overall a great experience, we always come here with our construction crew to refuel. Thank you Cesar for being so attentive all the time Sir.

Place is a good spot, we had their mole on their tacos that they are known for and was not bad for the area. We had also tried their burrito and the salsa that was in it seemed like it was watered down or needed more of its green pepper. Aguas are good an not over sugared.
