LA Weekly

At El Tepeyac, the guacamole is always fresh, the cheese is more than abundant, and in the early hours of the morning, the pork shoulder is patiently simmered for nearly half a day. Read more

Tire Shop Taqueria is a magical taco assembly line of grills and folding tables set up under two pop-up tents. The tortillas are pressed to order, and all the meat is grilled right in front of you. Read more

Local favorites include Manuel's Special Machaca Burrito and the equally enormous breakfast burrito , which, yes, you can order with a side of bacon . Read more

Manuel’s Special Burrito is unrivaled in jaw twisting girth. Don’t be put off by the $23 price tag; you’ll need the greater majority of a frat house to take one down in a single sitting. Read more

The veggie burrito is filled with beans, cheese , rice and guacamole , topped with cheese & ranchera sauce. So good! Husband gets the chile relleno burrito , also good.

Lauren Walko

Absolutely the best Mexican food I've had in Los Angeles. The people there are so incredibly nice. Get the green chile and smother your carne asada burritos in it. You're welcome.

Jose Velazquez

The Hollenbek is most definitely my favorite burrito in all of Los Angeles. Not only does it have an amazing taste but there are very large portion sizes

Preston Melbourne-Weaver

Everything on the menu looked good. There's a dine-in Inside portion and a to-go patio option.

Casual Mexican cafe with counter; vintage exterior river rock front & original sign.
