EL TACO YAMA

Had a hard time finding this place due to construction in the area. The big blue building was slapping me in the face. Can't miss the big blue building. The ambiance reminded me of a few wholes in the wall in Mexico. The staff was so friendly and kind. Very attentive to our needs and made sure our waters were always full.Being our first time we order a few different items off the menu. Shredded beef taquitos, wet verde beef burrito, super burrito, as well as some tacos. The food came out quickly and hit the spot. Our only complaint was the asada was almost ground beef, it would have been nice to have larger pieces of beef but would come back again.

Food was great! Service was great! Ambiance was great! I ordered two breakfast burritos thinking it would be small but no! Burritos are great size and they are fresh! I ordered the asada sope and breakfast burritos. The pina (pine apple) agua Fresca was refreshing and a good size!

Their Menudo has never let me down and I keep coming back for more. I can't post a picture of an empty bowl.

Our server was great, the food was amazing, everything about this place was perfect. Got the torta with a taco plate and had to be the best torta I've had my whole time in Cali. Will be the only Mexican food spot we go to from now on. 10/10

This is a hole in the wall, that is AMAZING!! Service is great and the food is even better.

This place is a diamond in the rough. Quite literally. We were struggling to find a restaurant and came across this one from Yelp. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It is extremely spacious, colorful with a TON of personality. PLEASE DONT BE PUT OFF BY THE LOCATION, they deserve a shot. Trust me. The beer was cold (for my guy) I got a pina'nada and it was so delicious! We got the sope, Taco combo, ceviche, and my guy got a torta meal. Everything was amazing. The salsas were delicious, the meat was very good. The tacos were very small but we didn't go for the tacos. We will definitely be back The ONLY reason they get 4 stars is bc unfortunately the area has some bad passerby's that could definitely deter people with young children but give it a shot! You won't be disappointed. Not to mention it's extremely reasonable! Check out the menu prices I posted. They ask have an extensive list of protein options!

We decided to eat here after seeing it on our way to another place the other day. It looks so festive and like it would have some great food. So the very next day we made it a point to give it a try. It's got some great reviews so it should be amazing. As I said it is very bright and festive on the outside and it flows on into the inside. It's a very open space type establishment. With table seating and a few booths. There is a huge menu behind the counter so you can order food to go. We chose to sit at one of the booths. We only saw one person working the counter and she brought us our menus. As I said it wasn't busy so I could understand not many servers working the floor. We looked over the menus as the young lady brought us chips. But no salsa. I thought that was strange. Most place bring chips and salsa together. I'm saying this because this type of thing continued throughout the visit. We had to ask for the salsa and it seemed like she forgot. Ok no problem. It happens. We looked over the menu which was really nice. With plenty of great choices. My wife opted for the enchiladas with beans and rice. But wanted green sauce on the side. Not on the enchiladas. I mean she had to repeat this several times before the young lady understood. Not sure why. But she just wasn't getting it. I ordered carnitas tacos with beans and rice and a Modelo Cerveza with lime. The Cerveza arrived promptly. No lime. I'm like wow really. Our food arrived before the lime. Which did get to me by the way. The food looked delicious. However my wife asked for green sauce on the side. She was brought red sauce. After repeating herself two or three times. It still didn't register with the server. I told my wife to say something. But she was like no it's ok and soldiered on with her food. Which she found to be bland. Void of any kind of flavor. I felt bad bcz she really wanted to try this place. My food tasted pretty good. The carnitas looked to be precooked like they got it from Grocery Outlet and just warmed it up. But it did taste good. The beans and rice were pretty mediocre at best. It wasn't horrible. But just had a weird taste. Maybe it was a bad day. Idk. But we won't be back. I hate to say that. Bcz this is just our experience. I'm sure other have had a great experience. I won't ever tell someone "don't eat there". Bcz they may like it. But again we won't be coming here again.

Asada tortas, Burritos, breakfast burritos. This place was our go to spot after the water park at adventure park during the summer. Now we are making a special trip across town just to get the goods. Salsa red also, it's great if you can handle spicy.

I've had several items here and all have been good. The food has great flavor and keeps us coming back. At times, service is slow because one waitress is working tables. Other times the service is pretty decent. Give it a try and you might be pleasant surprised and have a new place to add to your rotation. Staff is always friendly even when extremely busy.

I couldn't find them. I placed an phone order for pickup, and according to the Yelp map, it was right around the corner from where I was staying. I opened the address in Apple maps, which tried to direct me to a hotel that was under construction and fenced off. I then parked, checked my map, which was now directing me to make a big loop to pull in from a one-way road around the corner. Tried that, took me to the same fenced-off under construction hotel.I drove to the shopping center next door, called the restaurant, and they said they were near Chuck-E-Cheese, but across the street from 7-11. I found Chuck-E-Cheese, but never found a 7-11. There was a Valero that according to Apple Maps used to be a 7-11, but there was no restaurant nearby, other than New Star Chinese.After spending at least 30 minutes driving around, I gave up. Without proper signage or directions, good luck finding this place.
