  I am in love with the fish tacos here! The portions are decently sized and prices are not too bad as well! The staff were very friendly!
  
  I definitely recommend trying their fish tacos and their taquitos too! Can't wait to come back soon to try their other stuff like their lunch specials!

  this place is a gem. one of the only really good Mexican food spots in San Gabriel trust me!
  
  its very small, room for about 4 tables inside but there are 4 tables on the outside as well with a bathroom.
  
  food is excellent, menu is huge and plentiful with just about every mex dish u could ask for. staff is friendly

  As a girl, born and raised in L.A., there are just those days you crave some good, SoCal Mexican food. I say that because I've tried Mexican food in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah (the Southwest) and it all tastes kind of different. In my opinion, SoCal Mexican food is tastiest. Is it the cheese? Is it the lard? Who knows?
  
  This is a small mom and pop's shop. The shredded crunchy beef tacos are great. So are the carnitas super nachos with sour cream and a green sauce. You might be thirsty for a couple days after your indulgent meal, but it's worth it. It's a casual, no frills joint to satisfy your Mexican food cravings. Current status: in pain post leg-day session at the gym and salivating as I am writing this review.

  Not a lot of Mexican around this area. I only come here for the carne Assad fries. There's only a small and large option but I think small is a large and large is extra large.
  
  Parking: they have a small parking lot but you can easily find street parking
  
  Seating: there's not a lot of seating inside but they do have seatings outside.
  
  Food: can't say much about it since I only come for the fries. There's no Alberto around here but it does the job. The fries is good. :)

  This is my dad's go to place since it's so close to his job, my fave part are the sopes. Since they taste very homemade there's a lady outside with the masa making them for you on the spot, you can ask her to add carne asada or chorizo . Also I noticed a lot of people ordering Menudo to go, maybe I'll try it next time!
  They have parking in the back,  if not you can easily find street parking.
