The Best Jonathan Gold Reviews, From Food Writers He Inspired | Eater

"Home to a notorious, internet‑famous oversized 'Super Burrito'—a foil‑wrapped, forearm‑sized, oozing behemoth nicknamed the 'porno burrito'—alongside a celebrated potato taco; the place balances playful excess and hearty street‑style Mexican fare that inspires both laughter and appetite." - Daniela Galarza

A friend recommended this place and it didn’t disappoint. They charge extra for credit card, but that’s ok. If you cash you are good. Food is good. Plenty of dine in space too. Has games for kids and adults. Parking is ok.

I love this place, I grew up just a block from here and would always come and eat when I had a little money. The meat nachos are amazing, the asada fries are just as good, and the horchata here is the perfect blend not too sweet, not too light. They have Marvel vs. capcom and a pinball machine along with a few other games. Portions here are big, and prices are fair. I now live out of state but make it a priority to visit here every time I visit. Update visiting again one year later, and still all is good like always, we had a super burrito, and it was huge and tasty only 15 bucks. Cash only as of this review.

Pinball machines! And delicious burritos and chilaquiles. The refried beans were particularly flavorful. Reasonable prices and friendly service as well.

Great popular local spot to stop in a grab a casual, and very tasty, bite. Be aware, however, it is cash only! We went on a Saturday during a lunch rush and were served within about 10- minutes. They also had plenty of booth seating which was nice. The birria plate was incredibly delicious. If you’re not sure what to get I would just order that. It’s tender braised beef on the bone with sides of refried beans (also very tasty), rice, and corn tortillas to make your own taco. It also came with a side of salsa, lime, cilantro and pickled veggies. You can get guac and extra salsa in 1oz containers for .50c extra. The chicken quesadilla was also very good and was filled with marinated shredded chicken, cheese, crema, lettuce and tomato. They do not hold back on portions and the prices are very reasonable. If nothing else convinces you, they have arcade games as well if you need some entertainment with your meal.

Ok let's see....hum......it used to be better or maybe I used to drink more often....lots of lettuce mixed with sour cream the meat had bones (asada) and it wasn't fresh .....it's easy!!! Grilled beef cut it in chunks (bite size right? Beans rice don't over do it!!!  Hold the vegetables unless specifically requested.....n NO SOUR CREAM OR CHEESE NONSENSE. Then I might give it 4 stars maybe.. I like the hot sauce containers...but not the hot sauce. Super burrito more like bizarro burito.

This place in this part of Gentrified LA is a GEM! Authentic tasting ceviche like in costal Mexican regions! The cooks have that sasón! No gimmicks, no fusion, good old ceviche and fired Tilapia and mojarras! The tostadas are fiend in house and that makes them taste fresher! Even my Mom who is an old school Mexican lady - loved it! Friendly, reasonably priced and very generous with avocado and lemons. Not a fancy place but it makes up in flavor, service and cleanliness.

I came in here for a quick bite to eat after a grueling work day, a few weeks ago. What's that they say, the best food in LA can be found in strip malls? Believe it, buddy. I ordered a tostada with ceviche and a fish taco. The guy behind the counter was super cool and everything was made fresh to order. There are only a few tables in here, so I ended up chatting with another patron while he waited for his mojarra frita to go. Damn, that mojarra looked incredible. I'll have to order it next time. Anyway, so my food arrived and I was blissfully happy. That ceviche was perfectly briny, limey, and fresh with no hints of old seafood funk, whatsoever. It was a giant portion, too, with two tostadas and a massive mound of avocado. The fish taco was pretty good, too! It had lettuce on it and not cabbage, but the size and the freshness of the fish made up for it. After all, this place seems to do takeout on the side - they are mostly a market. And for well under $10 for dinner, you really can't go wrong. Next time I feel the desire to try to make Baja style fish and shrimp tacos from home, I will be buying the goods from here, for sure!

Wow, I am so glad I found this place on yelp. It's not the nicest looking place but it sure as heck is DELICIOUS! Again, don't let the appearance of this place fool ya. Yes it's very small, and yes, it doesn't look "fancy" however, they have an A rating from the health board and that's what I look at. Let me start by saying the customer service is AWESOME. Young man up front helped me out and was very polite. I ordered my food to go. I ordered the fish Ceviche (very tasty) and the Mojarra with fries... oh boy... the Mojarra.... so flipping phenomenal! Fried and seasoned to PERFECTION. I must say, for a small spot, and the great prices, I'm surprised this place is not busier. If you are looking for a good Mojarra, and some tasty Ceviche, I highly recommend this little spot. Don't take my word for it, go on down and try it out!

Not too pricey but it is surely super delicious! I always order the fried fish with a side of rice and fries. They have Mexican made coke which I think tastes so good with my food. Surely the best pescaderia around!

The perfect lunch spot. Fresh, affordable, generous portions. Awesome service & food by Jesús who runs the shop pretty much single-handedly. I'm here with my coworker like once a week. My usual go-to's: - Shrimp Burrito - Fish Tacos ($1 on Tuesdays & Thursdays) - Fish Ceviche tostada - Shrimp Ceviche tostada - Fried tilapia (mojarra frita) Bombbb.

Delicioso! Yelp reviews never seem to fail me. Good portions at a reasonable price. $3.25 for fish taco and $3 for fish ceviche tostada. I really like that they were not stingy with the avocado.

Great customer service going way back since the mid 90's when he worked at a seafood market on San Fernando n Fletcher (can't remember the name). Guero now owns his own place and has some of the freshest seafood in Northeast LA... The Oysters are always delicious and awesome deep fried delights like baby octopus Mmm!!! He'll actually fry up any seafood your little heart desires! Just ask and you'll gladly receive. aHHH yEEAH!

I was very satisfied with my shrimp burrito. The flavors where there, the portion is huge and I flushed it all down with a bottle of coke. The service was friendly and very attentive.

Great for a fresh seafood meal. Generous portions. Generous w the avocado and limes too. Friendly service. Super cheap. $1 oysters, $2.50 ceviche tostada. Yum. I didn't try the fried shrimp, fried octopus, or the whole fried fish. The family after me got the whole fried fish and oh boy did it look good. They also have mexican coke and a bunch of other sodas. Easy parking in the strip mall.

A-May-Zingggg. Prices are so affordable and everything taste so darn good. The guy that works there is so friendly, humble and attentive, he definitely cooks everything to your liking. Best fish tacos I've ever had, and the oysters . You have to try this place, you won't be disappointed.

Really good fish. Had the fried rainbow striped bass. They scale and gut the fish there, and then drop it in the fryer. Very simple, very good. And very affordable. With a bag of sliced pepino and lemons on the side. Very good service too. But may have to get the food to go because there is only 1 table.
