"I am super impressed with this spot. It has really become a quick go to for me for tacos. They have meat and potato tacos, as well as breakfast burritos. I tend to get the asada with medium salsa. I like the simplicity and freshness of this place. They have added 2 tables if you want to eat in.Now as for the rest of it, this place is well stocked. Almost a mini grocery store! There's a fresh vegetable section, the pastries are pretty delicious with good variety and reasonable pricing. There's lots of treats to be found around here, good selection for tea flavors. There's tons of spices and seasonings for your meats and the deli counter is huge. They do cakes, piñatas, and have a small dairy section. There's seafood as well. Every soda flavor you could ever need including glass bottle real sugar kinds. I definitely love exploring here and finding new things to try or old favorites. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The line is never too long. The food always comes out quickly. There's really nothing bad I could say about it! Definitely everything you need for a great cookout is here. Look no further!"
"The previous reviewer accurately described this as a cross between "The Hills Have Eyes" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." But don't let the fact that it looks like an EZ-Up Shed deter you. The food is delicious, and it earned an A on it's health inspection, so what's not to like? My husband ordered the Chili Colorado burrito, which he said was delicious, and the carne asada soft tacos (which I ordered) were also good--but SPICY because of their hot sauce, which looks like red chilis ground into a paste.The prices are extremely reasonable, and the food is fresh. It's definitely 100 times better than stopping at Taco Bell or McDonald's. Oh, and now they take debit cards. If you're ever in the middle of nowhere and need something to eat, try this place. You won't regret it!"
"I was skeptical when my friends told me this place was good. They set up extra tables and chairs for our group and they take your order at the window and you pay after. It's basically inside a little market and you grab whatever you want to drink from the market area and sit with it. I got the cheese enchiladas and cleaned the whole plate they were so yummy! This is the type of meal you crave and want again and again. Their green salsa is also good. I'm not a fan of how they do their nachos with that fake cheese stuff but I didn't order them I just saw them otherwise they seemed popular."
"I go here for one reason and that's the craft beer selection. They knows their beer and are always willing to offer a useful description and opinion for beer that I've yet to try."

It looks like a mini market in a tiny pass thru town - which it is... But, Don't miss out on this opportunity for a delicious meal. On our way home from visiting Family up north. We stopped in for something to eat. Actually, my Husband had already been here and wanted me to try it, We cut across from the 5 to the 99 - simple detour and so worth it. The ladies who run the small food counter inside the market make the food with love. I had an Al Pastor Burrito and my Husband had a half Chili Verde half Chili Colorado Burrito - wet style. Both were delicious. I admit to stealing red sauce from his plate - scooping it up with chips. Excellent! It's on my list of favorites now. I'll be back! Gracias Senoras - La comida fue buen rico!

Super great food!It may take a little while to make, but just the smells are worth the wait! Ridiculously cheap tacos at $1.50 each. Heck, even the fries were cooked perfectly.¡Muy bueno!

This is my spot, I would rather spend a little extra and give it to a locally owned business than to albertsons. All of the guys that work there are cool, they have a very good selection of craft beer that most people wouldn't think they would have by it being a hole in the wall. I go here just about every other day.

Christmas day miracle lol !!We had a small Christmas celebration this year due to the covid.WE THOUGHT we planned ahead this year by calling one of our new favorite restaurants and verifying with them that they would indeed be open Christmas day, and they assured us they would... Long story short, they were not open Christmas day lol, so we needed a Christmas day dinner solution, QUICKLY.After franticly driving around the empty streets on Christmas, we just happen to pass by this little gem... Not much to look at, in fact, it looks like a regular mini market, but only with a huge grill outfront and that's what caught our attention, not to mention the heavy traffic of people coming and going, so we made a quick turn into the parking lot...They are pretty much a mini market with fresh fruits and veggies and fresh meat (Full meat counter/butcher), with an order counter, we placed our order and watched them prep everything right in front of us, they kept going out to the front grill to retrieve more fresh meat every so often, so its pretty much cooked to order.We ordered a chicken burrito, a chicken taco combo plate and Asada nachos.The chicken is so full of flavor its red in color from the spices and herbs and was super tender, the asada was juicy and has good flavor, the rice was fluffy and full of flavor too and the beans were okay (just regular pinto beans), the tortillas were fresh and the green salsa was thick and just right.The asada nachos were insanely good & THE PORTIONS for everything were ridiculously huge! very generous indeed!Wait time was about 10- 15 mins. People were friendly and welcoming, got 3 cans of soda free with our order and we only paid 23 $ for everything!!Good and cheap and near by, It was a nice find and saved our Christmas dinner!

I remember the days when this was a little taco cart outside of the old Pharmacy. My family use their services quite frequently for catering, as does my work. They do a pretty great job of feeding a crowd for very little money. I love that they make homemade tortilla's right in front of you! If you don't like that soft fresh corn tortilla texture, then maybe this isn't for you. Sometimes the meat is sketchy, and I'm not always sure what I'm getting, but sometimes that's the fun of eating at places like this...as for the next day, you're on your own.

"Very convenient only store around. Lots of liquor, beer, and cider. Lottery, candy, and snacks and it's right off the freeway. Giant parking lot tons of parking. I remember a few years ago when it wasn't there you had to go another 2 miles north to a proper grocery store or east to a ghetto gas station mini mart."
"Never had the pleasure to step into Mercado Y Carniceria La Flor. One of my co-workers ordered us food from here, and it was delivered by Door Dash. Tried their Tri-Tip and their Chicken. Both entrees tasted well along with the sides. Did not get a chance to take photos of the complete meals because I forgot. Do know that the portion sizes were more than fair for the price we paid. Very reasonable. Will have to visit the shop personally one day to check out their ambiance and service. Most importantly, after this first experience, the food I've tried so far is pretty darn delicious."
"If you know me, ordering Mexican food is one of my biggest fear...not because I don't have Spanish-English dictionary installed on my iPhone:PAnyway, I still managed my fear went in again after finishing 3 beef tacos. (yes, I said Beef taco when I ordered it) Turtle: yes I saw it but...I don't know how to pronounce "Cabeza". Frog : Ask for "ca-beh-saw" tacos, head meat.turtle: ohhhhso...2nd time I successfully ordered 5 cabeza tacos.so damn good!!!Totally worth additional 10 miles drive (from I-99)from outside, it looked dark and empty...like those scenes in horror movies that when you walk in, you scared by the suddenly show up employeedon't get wrong, inside is actually very clean and neat. I was the only customer in it at 1pm.The girl who made my tacos was quiet, shy (like me), and fast. It was hot and wrapped in the foil. I never had such flavors before...it looks simple but it left King Taco wayyyyyyy behind....If you travel between LA-SF...its very close to 46 (Famoso Hwy) and to both I-5 and I-99 are around 10 miles. Because it's close to HWY so the driving time is actually not too bad...I got there in 12 mins after exiting I-99NOW I wish I can have more "ca-beh-saw" tacos ...."
"They have nice and friendly staff and good service. I like their hot food here. The gas prices are fair."
