“ LA Style Tacos and the BEST margaritas! This was my Thursday night happy place. I am originally from SoCal and this is the only place that understands shredded beef crispy tacos! I'm now in Colorado and still can't find anything quite like them. ”
“ Fish & pork & chicken & beef Tacos & burritos are outstanding.....the margaritas are exceptional too .....the 95% miserable liberal white privileged patrons are the only problem due to the heinous location in Del ray Alexandria.... The depraved & Marxist mayor (Justin Wilson) of Alexandria is a disgrace to he/him/his race & gender & all Americans....Make America great again.....'the border is secure' - Kamala Harris ”
“ The food was really good and filling. The staff were nice and helpful. The interior was clean and cozy. ”
“ The staff here are very nice and pretty attentive. I've been here in the past but it has been awhile. The food is not your typical Tex Mex because it's not a straight Mexican restaurant. I got the enchiladas and my boyfriend got a taco and the stuffed pepper. They were good however there was wayyyy too much cheese. We sat outside since it was a nice evening. I would like it even more if they upgraded it a little bit for the outside seating. Still a great option in DelRay. ”
“ Stop what you're doing and order the tres enchiladas. They are so authentic, cheesy, delicious and consistent. I really can't recommend this place enough. The only downside is that the space is small, so we typically order for take out. Just went to pick up on a Sunday at 6, and the place has no empty seats. The food is 11/10 but so are their margaritas. Don't forget to give them a try and see why they have won awards for the past several years. You won't regret coming here. ”
“ Came here to celebrate an early birthday. We tested out their brunch menu. It did not disappoint. Both mains and the appetizer were delicious! I would highly recommend either of the three items that we indulged in! The service was slow in the being (they just opened) but picked up towards the end and was great! The decor of the place is super cool! It's definitely a small joint but has enough tables for a good amount of customers! We will return! Food was delicious! ”
“ Ordered take out late last night, and the service & food were greatly improved. Everything was correct and well made. The Shrimp tacos were excellent, the chicken taquitos were crisp and had good flavor, and the guacamole was flavorful and luscious. I'm extremely pleased that my local restaurant has turned the corner and doing far better in service & food quality. Will definitely be back more often. Cheers! ”
