Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Montecito Heights, Los Angeles

Lucky Peach • April 1, 2016Get the potato tacos, or tacos de papas: creamy, airy, whipped potatoes held by a fried tortilla, pinched closed like a clamshell. They’re smothered in crema and salsa verde.

Sigrid • August 25, 2010Enchiladas verdes or the huevos rancheros are my favorites here. Several friends like the burrito rojo (mole). Note: they are closed on Tuesdays.

Daniel P. • January 1, 2019I loved the enchiladas! Delicious.

Jason S. • January 15, 2016Great local spot. Parking is street only and sparse.

T Z. • February 17, 2019papas (potato) & carne asada tacos 🌮 are solid. salsa is too spicy 😬 super long line. free papas / potatoes at the end of the line?
