Big flavor, small prices... But check your food to go if it is a BIG order!
Been visiting here for the Wednesday taco sale ($1) each, however we ordered 14 tacos, and was a total of $15.40 (because of sales tax) and came home and it was missing 3 tacos, quite a lot. I can not imagine if we ordered more. The sauce section is always low and missing cups, so you can take sauce to go. Order to go usually takes 30 MIN, so be ready to wait some time... Lots of areas to improve here. They often confuse your order with somebody's else.
Check your order before leaving the restaurant.
Lots of meals they have here: burgers, burritos, seafood... Our favorite meal so far is the shrimp tacos. They are the best we tried in El Monte! The dressing tastes great, and it is not covered with an abnormal amount of bread. Also, take advantage of the offers, such as tacos, Wednesday for $1 each, and fish tacos, $1.5 each. Atmosphere could improve a lot, the inside can look quite outdated, and there are no public restrooms, which it is a letdown. However, the prices and the taste you get here will make you visit this Mexican food restaurant again! There is plenty of sidewalk parking. They also have a cattering service (taquizas) if you have a party and want to enjoy it.
The Wednesday tacos are delicious... And only $1, we tried asada and chorizo tacos, but the chorizo was burned out, so we got a bit disappointed. Other meats are worth the price!
Well it was Wednesday 1$ tacos .I ordered 5 asada tacos to go .when I got home omg they were cabeza I didn't go back cause it was raining .the next day, I told the same man who took my order was also the cook .he did not care not even an I'm sorry or offer 1 taco. Always check your order .
Amazing looks, taste is fantastic and what can I say more ? Just look at the picture. Nice and friendly staff.
Very reasonable price.
Just go and enjoy peeps. Must suggest.
Honestly, what more could you ask for? From staff to ambience. Small and quaint. All you could expect from an unsuspecting place to bust the BEST small tacos. The pickled onions kill it. 4 tacos $3.30 Sundays. Byob and its dinner at home! If you dont try this place at least once in your life..... Your loss! Right-up the street from El Monte Station on Ramona @ Tyler, a great field trip destination from L.A. for those missing OG SGV home cooking! Stay tuned for more of my CisGoes reviews! I try it so you can enjoy it!
Fish taco Friday was fire had 3 of them hoes… y’all make sure to come and check the out place was clean fast and friendly.
I hadn't eaten all day today when I came here to grab some fish tacos! I love tacos and I'm always looking for the best authentic reataurant. But I feel like I e been let down..
Food: Now, don't get me wrong, thr fist tacos were flavorful. They had plenty crema and the fish tacos had salt. Very tasty. But one of my tacos had barely half a fish. I ordered it woth tomatoes and onions and there was so much cream on top of a pile of tomatoes. The piece shown in pictures akrh tomatoes, you will see a small part sticking out from the blanket of to.atoes and cream, os the only piece. The size of half of your pinky. Compared to the other one on the plate it was fatty and plump. The consistency is definitely NOT there. Even with it being on special. They should make them extra juicy and sellable. I'm just speaking my mind, and mean no disrespect.
They also have a salsa bar but it looked sad and although they had plenty of salsa filled, their guacamole sauce was mostly empty with chunks of pieces of vinegar onions. The lemons were gooey and their salsas were super watered down. There was no spice in the green one and a bit spicy the red.
Service: The lady was understanding as I requested no cabbage for a pair of fish tacos. But they failed to give me full fish in one of my tacos.
Also, they accept tap. they do charge a 75 cent fee. There was no sign to indicate.
Atmosphere: upon entering, it really was dusty and at first it seemed clean. But the chairs were very very dusty. I could smell the dampness. Although they have an "A" which I commend them, I didn't feel comfortable sitting in a dusty sticky chair and eating.
Perhaps it wasn't a good day, but still. It should be clean and on Parr. Like the A They have hanging for all to seeeeeee.
Overall, I think their restaurant can fist these issues and make it better for customers to want to come back a second try. Good luck!
Really great food and awesome service! Love it here
Great tacos - all 99 cents on Wednesdays. Green guacamole (though it doesn't taste like avocados) is the best anywhere if you like very hot hot sauce, I love it. Staff is friendly and have no problems with me ordering my tacos special, and they don't skimp on the meat. Very good food.
