Always order the guacamole and a margarita. Best deal in the city and always hits the spot.
The pork, fish & lamb tacos are off the hook...and like California's awesome tacos. The horizontal taco is super greasy. Avoid.
Pork and fish tacos can't be beat. Tortilla soup is surprisingly good.
Bastian BeyerMay 1, 2012Cool place! Great guacamole! And they play a mix of metal and mexican folk music ;)
Sangria +Guac + Carnitas Tacos = YUM! Flan is also pretty good considering it's flan.
Emily YuOctober 7, 2014The tacos are amazing but the guacamole is only so-so. Definitely going back for tacos.
This place is superb! Yummy, inexpensive food, great movies and music while you hang out, and Paul is the best!
BettyMarch 16, 2013There's a lot of grease in the tacos but in this case the carnitas as well worth it.
Amanda LenSeptember 17, 2011The best guacamole that I have ever had in a restaurant. Or even ever- Which is bold of me to say.
Uday PalledJune 21, 2013The only place I've been to in the last 15 years that is running through 10...first pearl jam album
Vin HamiltonMarch 23, 2012The service is as good as the food... and the food is amazing. Fish tacos...
Great Tacos and Quesadillas ... also Lakers all over the walls
Steak taco + chorizo taco + pork taco. That's all you need. Amazing!
Margaritas are bomb. So are the chicken flautas and sopes. Dirt cheap prices.
The carnitas are fantastic. Well worth coming here just for that.

mahsa hojjatJune 9, 2011Fish taco and Pork tacos are the best but as a warning the fish taco is quite spicy
The chorizo taco and the cesina taco with a side of crema. Perfection.
Guac 'n chips, three tacos (fish, carnitas, cactus), and a margarita on the rocks... done!
Herminio TorresMay 22, 2012Insanely good margaritas and hey! Don't go against the Ten Commandments of Taqueria LES.
