Torta Milanesa Cubano ! Add some Red Sauce . Great for afterhours or after work grub. Safer parking . A/C is on full blast at 11:00 pm?? Tacos shrunk over the years. 2 armed security guards inside & out.

Geoff Oki

The torta Milanesa with everything (onions , avocado , crema ) plus cheese is everything to me, doused in their special red hot sauce , and washed down with a cold sugary pineapple drink. Open super late.

İbrahim Demir

Tried all meat buritto with onions and nachos (meet+cheese) Buritto was perfect. Do not get cheese for nachos as it is not a real cheese . Very crowded and they just speak Spanish!!!

Gabriel Kim

They really are the best place for tacos in LA. I always get their Carne Asada Combo Burritos with green sauce and Horchata . Yummy!

Stephen Yee

The guards keep their guns "cocked & locked." Which means you'll get shot if you mess around. Buy a "rioja grande" & keep it to have with other tacos . Tacos are like BBQ ribs , its all in the sauce. ;)

Kenny

had three carne asada tacos with quesadilla and extra onions/cilantro on the side. tasted amazing! will go again soon.

Sirenne Sanchez

If you phone your order in, you'll be asked to go straight up to the window. Don't make eye contact with anyone in line unless you like getting the stink-eye. Ha!

Juston Payne

This a good burrito , maybe the best of the burritos . Eat this burrito . Also, for those looking for a bit of that fabled "local flavor," you'll get it here.

Sir Sal Reyes

If you are in L.A. late at night go to el taurino. It may be in the ghetto but the food kicks ass. Parking is full but its worth the wait. If you can't find parking I.side park at food for less lot

Gabrielle Sibal

Torta with al pastor and the carne asada tostada are the items to beat. The barbacoa taco is pretty good too!

debz

get extra red sauce (you can get it on the side). you'll either love it, or it'll give you the shits. the risk in finding out is worth it.

Daniel Flores

Best taco spot in Los Angeles. Service is very slow. You will be asked to pay extra for salsa . Do not come here on the Weekend. Mixture of Hispanic and koreans hardly any Caucasians. A lil pricey .

Randy Canche

From the Castillas to the nachos everything taste good - love this place been coming here for years

Numwan Wannie

Taco !!!!! One piece is very very small. Hot sauce is good. Try mix with green sauce too.

Jeff Q

Authentic local spot - don't miss the Carne Asada

Erika Scott

BEST salsa in town ,I'm not kidding.However they do have really bad service & they are so freaking stingy with their SALSA what's up with that.Go if you don't care for the service coz the food is GOOD!

Antea Shelton

The chicken burrito with rice and beans AND a side order of beans with Mexican cheese ! !! HEAVENLY!!!

tonyG

Tacos al pastor and the tortas de carne asada are the best!

Corleto Antoni

Chaotic number calling are out of whack,, so be ready to wait at least 30 min for your food... So don't come hungry

Steven Kim

On sundays, get the Consome to compliment your tacos and tamales . It's a soup with garbanzo beans and is great with some red sauce mixed in

Guadalupe Morales

Delicious burritos ! Tacos , tortas !! Everything!

Torta de Milanesa is the bomb

Melanie Castro

Honestly, I'd rather go to King Taco . You can ask other Latinos if you'd like. I should know

Jason Liang

Salsa roja (red) is the only way to go. On weekends gotta come here b4 1:30 am or else you get stuck w/ the clubbing crowd

DrinkCoba

Late night grubbin' is on! The all-meat burritos are full flavored and loaded with toppings!

Ivan Vega

The costillas are the BOMB!!!

Waited 30 minutes to get some carne asada tacos , but absolutely worth it; beware of drunk Koreans trying to speak poor Spanish though if you go late at night
