Best WLM Reviews
You want delicious tacos to satisfy that craving? Then get yourself over here quick. The place ain't fancy and you might wait a while for your order, but it will be worth it. Whatever taco you order it will be delicious. And their selection of salsas are very spicy but really take the taco experience to the next level.
I have noticed their prices have gone up and so these tacos are not going to be super cheap but they are still affordable and best of all....delicious. So check it out.
I just ordered four tacos and it cost me $19. They didn’t even give me the toppings for the tacos. They just gave me the meat and The tortilla they wanted to charge extra for limes, and also the pico!!
The prices shouldn’t be that high for four tacos for plain tacos on top of that you get nothing else but the tortilla in the meat they said the toppings were extra. The pico was extra in the limes. It’s a shame.!
This place is not a fancy place to go. They are out of their minds.
This is a true whole in the wall. ????
It’s on a little strip dedicated to worldly food grocery stores (and easy to miss so keep your eye out)
I felt like I walked in to a family’s cookout which was a good thing! (Meaning it doesn’t feel gentrified). I took a quick look at the menu but it doesn’t have prices. I advised the waiter I wanted 4 tacos; 2 carne asada and 2 pastor however I like my pastors to be fatty so she let the cook know.
I waited maybe six minutes before my food was fresh out the window. I loved how they served everything on paper plates (gave me a home-like feeling). They have all the sides you need off to the side for you to dress up your entree how you like.
I sat down and listened to telémundo in the background and devoured my tacos and pineapple agua fresca. I spent $14!
Yup! This is the place for real authentic tacos. They were hot, fresh, and delicious. The service was very welcoming and accommodating. Most importantly... the prices were what they SHOULD be for tacos. Lesser tacos in old town area would charge double!
As a Southern CA native, I spent my early years in the WMA searching in vain for a solid taco shop. Luckily I stumbled over Costalilla, and now it’s a regular stop for me. Depending on the crew working they’ll sometimes make carne asada fries (off-menu), which guarantees my returning and suggesting to friends.
The Flautas Platter consists of 3 rolled corn tortillas filled with chicken breast and cooked, or rather overcooked, so that both ends of the chicken are crunchy and dark brown or burned, while the chicken in the center is white and moist. The flautas were evidently unseasoned, as they were flavorless. So it's just tortillas filled with small rolls of plain unseasoned chicken and overcooked. The thin, watery sauce provided with the meal added some moisture but very little flavor. The whole mess was presented under a thick camouflage of lettuce so you can't see that it is burned. To add salt, you have to open up the flautas, which defeats the purpose of ordering food already made. Might as well just cook at home and season to taste! (and you could follow a recipe, that is, add onions and peppers and spices, which will make the plain chicken taste much better!) The beans and rice were better but nothing special. My companion reports that the burrito was large and tastes ok. Aside from dismal food, my complaint is that prices posted on the menu are not correct, which fact is noted on the front of the menu. I guess you find out how much your food costs when you are handed the receipt. That's how I found out. Wait staff are friendly and explain that prices will be posted when the owner deigns to do so. Good on me for trying something different in the neighborhood, but we won't be back for overcooked, overpriced food with no flavor whatsoever.
Oh my goodness! One of the best tacos places I’ve had in a while! I placed my order of 2 lengua and one Al pastor tacos to go and they were priced pretty cheap especially for the beef tongue. It came out sooo fast! They have a bar where you can dress your tacos yourself so if you’re not a fan of onions and cilantro, you won’t have it. The tacos were so hot to the touch which made me happy knowing they were FRESH. The beef tongue was so tender, they did a good job of cutting off the fat. Would HIGHLY recommend coming here. I will definitely be coming back to try some other items on the menu. Y’all did an amazing job!
Am I being punked? I saw all the raving reviews and was so excited to go here. I ordered 3 carne asada tacos and 2 sopes. The tacos came with nothing on them. Just tortillas and meat, I added cilantro, lime and onion and carried on. The meat was so chewy and flavorless. Even lacking salt. Then the sopes. The sope itself was good but the meat and beans were flavorless and the serving of cojita was so tiny. So disappointed. Had such high hopes.
