Rayshawn WilliamsMay 26, 2016Not sure which taco to choose? Then the taco sampler is perfect. You'll get to try seven tacos. It'll definitely help with your choice on future visits. Or you can just stick with the sampler.
Caitlin TaylorApril 4, 2016Lots of variety - the individual tacos are awesome but you can also get a sampler platter so you can get minis of more flavors. The made-in-house tortillas are SO good.
SandeepJuly 31, 2016Everything is very flavorful. The sampler tacos are a great way to try everything and is pretty fillling. Tortillas are fresh but I found them too thick which make it rather filling.
Michael CMarch 17, 2022The chicken mole taco was amazing! Next time I will order the taco sampler platter and try them all. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Super nice people.
Joe ViseurFebruary 28, 2016This place is authentic, affordable, and has the best mole tacos I've maybe ever had. The only ones that come close came from a family in Tecate, Mexico, who home made something similar. Eat here!!!
As folks say, get the sampler if you can't figure out what you want. Some tacos are spicy so be sure to check before ordering if you're a bit of a wuss. Quesadilla with chorizo is really good.
Laura CovingtonJune 27, 2015The quesadilla, tinga, bistek, and cochinita pibil were the winners, but everything is outstanding. Do yourself a favor and grab a horchata to wash down the burn.
Ricardo HernandezNovember 3, 2016Delicious taco place, ideal for a late night bit. They have a sampler plate where you can taste 5 different tacos for around $8. Delicious tortillas as well, pure corn.
Jussi HäyhäJanuary 7, 2016If you wanna cry, try the chili taco. Btw there's an ice-cream parlour few doors down. That might easy the pay today. Tomorrow your on your own buddy. If u gonna be dumb u gotta be though.
Eve ParadoxNovember 22, 2014Most people get the sampler but I recommend getting 2-3 of their signature tacos. You'll enjoy them more. The tinga is spicy and the mole is smokey.
isa belleDecember 7, 2014The sampler is always the safe choice if you're in a bind - but I've to say my faves are the mole pobleano, bistek and the cochinita. The camarones is just so-so I feel. Drinks are good too.
Lucie ClarkAugust 14, 2018My husband & I both had the sampler (a mix of meat & vegetarian) and we both thought it was okay. Expected more because of the great reviews but we still enjoyed it (the pork tacos were the best!)
Daniel GarciaJune 23, 2015Everyone's gonna tell you to try the taco sampler (which you should), so I'm gonna tell you to try the cantaloupe fresca! Best melon drink I've had in a while ☺️
You can get everything on the menu on the sampler except the camarones (shrimp), pescado (fish) and chile toreados
JustinSeptember 20, 2014As a pescetarian, the options are tasty and truly satisfying. Try the Calabasitas, Hongo con Cilantro and Chilea Toreados, along with both of their seafood options. Amazing.
Doug de WetOctober 26, 2015The grilled fish tacos, which also have black beans in them, are unique and tasty; they're great if you want something on the lighter side.- Eve ParadoxApril 16, 2015Been here many times. The mole and tinga are tried and true favorites. Arrive by 11:45 for the quickest service.
Sampler tacos are smaller than a regular ones. say hello to the taco mama or papa in the corner making the fresh tortillas! 😄
Benjamin PalmerOctober 4, 2016best tacos anywhere near downtown. stay at the ace & eat at guisados every other day. shrimp, mushroom, mole, horchata, victoria
Thomas ColtonSeptember 14, 2015Come in the morning for the breakfast taco's. They're all pretty fantastic. Later in the day, sampler is always the way to go
Christy 🍸January 10, 2016Try the sampler to try out the different kinds of tacos they have! And the Armando Palmero is great part Hibiscus part limon
Vivi TaoJuly 15, 2017So freakin good and affordable. Get the sampler if you want to try more. Mole, chorizo, fish are top 3 personally
Vincent OngAugust 25, 2017Guisados in DTLA, can find elsewhere too. Try out The Sampler (6 mini tacos) for different meats and their housemade tortillas.- Kevin TMay 29, 2016Loved their Armando Palmero (jamaica + limon agua fresca). Chorizo and bistek with salsa roja tacos were delicious!
- Stephen PetreyMarch 26, 2019The chorizo is my personal favorite, but any of the tamales are good IMO
Edgar VarelaAugust 11, 2014Get the Sampler, it's the best way to figure out what your favorite taco is. Experiment and discover new flavors.
nikkiJanuary 8, 2017sampler sampler sampler. those tiny tortillas pack a punch, but grab a chorizo quesadilla while you're at it. treat yo self
Diana CapitoniAugust 16, 2014Armando Palmero (1/3 jamaica, 2/3 limon) is the Spanish answer to Arnold Palmer and is as refreshing as it is tasty!
Angel NeriNovember 14, 2015Try the Tinga and Cochinita Pibil if you like spicy. Jamaica and Horchata are great too.
Queenie C.January 26, 2015Sampler plate. Very good and affordable. Watch out for the spicy one in th bunch. You've been warned.
Michael SpinelliNovember 27, 2017All the tacos and homemade tortillas are amazing. This place is the real deal.
Hannah GreiderJune 22, 2016Damn delicious tacos and the best horchata I've ever had. Try it with the cold brew! Yummmmm
Ed PalumboFebruary 9, 2015They don't serve cold brew coffee here. It's horchata that you they can add some cold brew to - but you can't just have a cold brew.
Neil Santo TomasMarch 25, 2016You can't go wrong with any of the tacos. Freshly made tortillas as you order
John KiddeApril 24, 2017Great tacos (duh) but I wouldn't say they're filling. So, get a lot of tacos.
Thirsty JamesSeptember 21, 2014Looks like they might be getting beer, that would just make it awesomer! Rotating artwork is great!
Phu NguyenJuly 9, 2017Sampler is great to try out 6 types of tacos but the tortillas are a little too thick for my taste. Cheap though!
Mole and Tonga tacos are dope. Try the sampler if it's your first time.- Get the sampler! They tell me they are BYOB until they get their alcohol permit.🍻
Peter StreibigOctober 22, 2016horchata with cold brew?! hecks yeah! balances out some tremendous tacos.
