        The food is truly excellent, with something to cater to all spice palates. It is presented well and the staff team are very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The outdoor seating area is a lovely place to sit quietly in an evening. I have visited several times and would recommend a visit. The Baja fish taco, and the spicy shrimp burrito were my personal favourites. The lemonades are also excellent.

        Being from Chicagoland, I was curious about this place if it was hype or legit good food. I'm a Danny Trejo fan, so this place was a destination for me. What I can tell you is the food was outstanding. I had the two taco dinner and ordered the beef barbacoa and mushroom asada. While the beef barbacoa was a signature item (had Danny's face next to it😄), the mushroom asada blew me away. I can't remember ever seeing mushrooms on a taco menu, so I had to try. Absolutely phenomenal. The beans and rice that came with the meal were good, but nothing overly special. Salsas were also good but not necessarily as memorable as the tacos. Another pleasant surprise was the beer. I had the Trejo's Cerveca, which is a Mexican style lager. It was similar to Corona and the perfect compliment to the tacos. Get it. Loved the food here. Next time I'm in LA I'll be back. 4 stars for service/atmosphere but not a complaint, just tough to get 5 stars on such a busy, noisy street when most of the seating is outside. Great place, great food. Go, you won't be disappointed.

        Finally tried LA tacos here. I got the 3 vegan taco options, mushroom, jackfruit, and cauliflower. I enjoyed all 3 but the jackfruit was my favorite. It was a flavor bomb 🔥. They all had a unique flavor. I would highly recommend tr try one the trio. I also got a side of beans. They were “ok”, not tender or tasty enough for my preferences but I did finish them all.

        Good food but small portions and pricy. Guy behind the counter was zombi-ish and didn’t get my order right. Place looks really good and clean but the surroundings need to be shut out at least.

        Food was way over priced, one of the things we ordered was the two chicken taquitos for $10. It didn’t taste bad but was not at all anything like taquitos I have ever ordered from a restaurant. The presentation was terrible, no sauce beyond the chipotle sauce cup and avocado sauce cup, and there was no cotija as described in the menu. The two spicy shrimp tacos were tiny and cost $13. The “plain fried chicken taco was basically a few chunks of deep fried chick on a single lettuce leaf. The only thing anywhere near acceptable was the burrito but that is a stretch. Just overall super disappointing given the number of reviews it received.
