    Original margarita and cochinita pibil were amazing. I definitely recommend trying it. Salsa and chips were amazing but bigger salsa bowl, please? decor and customer service is great. Awesomeness 👍

    The carnitas + steak tacos are absurdly good. As is the watermelon lemonade (pulpy cause it's fresh so don't complain). One warning: there are A LOT of onions in EVERYTHING- listed or not.

    Must: Elote Especial. Recommend: Dirty Horchata (w/ espresso), the Nueske bacon, black bean & mushroom quesadilla, the hot-as-Hades habanero salsa on the Pibil tacos.

    While you won’t find beer on the menu, it’s a bring-your-own brews place, so you’ll find some savings there and a great vibe in which to enjoy a meal with the guys. Read more

    They finally have beer! Highlights of the draft list include: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Oskar Blues Old Chub, and The Bruery Humulus Lager. Yay!

    The night I went they were very under staffed and the waiters didn't seem to know what they were doing but they were incredibly nice and the tacos made up for everything.

    Get a two taco combo - balance the crazy hot cochinita pibil taco with a pork taco. And get a dirty horchata to drink. I should know... I'm the mayor.

    Casual nuevo-mexican food at it's finest. Tastiest tortas that have EVER met my lips. The pork loin torta and kobe beef torta are worthy to be tagged best sandwiches in LA.

    Holy crap, the salpicon torta is ridiculous...good, really good ridiculousness (pork). Elote especial is the best side dish ever (corn).

    Cochinita Pibil is like my step-father's from Mexico City. I think I can eat the rice with crema for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

    Pork tacos and short rib tacos are the best. The corn with lime cream is also amazing.

    The corn side dish is very special. Combination of several tastes - tangy and a bit sweet too.
