El Michoacano

Went here one morning and ordered a breakfast burrito for my husband and a carne asada burrito for myself.
Ended up waiting 20min instead of 10min (the amount of time I was told) and it wasn’t very busy at all (3 people outside including myself). But I thought it will be worth it. There was a man outside grilling meat that smelled amazing… So I mentioned/​asked 3 times for Red and Green salsa on the side… I get home and to my dismay the bag is full of green salsa and my carne asada burrito is nothing more than a sloppy watery extra bean burrito with the tiniest bits of meat imaginable. Like extra chopped to bits.
Probably the worst burrito I have ever had. I was sooo looking forward to a nice hearty carne asada burrito with red sauce.
My husbands breakfast burrito was good, so guess there’s that. But I ended up going right back out to Los Campadres on Foothill and they fixed everything.
One star for the breakfast burrito and one star for how delicious the meat SMELLED can’t tell ya how it tastes…

Awesome grilled chicken on the weekends! Really good prices with hand made tortillas! Recommend this for anyone around the neighborhood.

Love this place. Eat here for lunch once a week for a good 6 months now. The old school
Taco stands in Los Angeles Are everywhere, and some do things better than others.
With this place, everything I’ve had is really good.
Now, that out of the way, let’s get to the excellent.
Their carnitas is some of the best I’ve had.
They do it proper. Juicy in the middle. And a bit crispy on the edges.
Their chile verde is spicy! And delicious if you can handle the heat. (You’ve been warned) one of my favorites here.
Their horchata is without a doubt my favorite in town.
The quesadilla al comal is a handmade tortilla fried like a soft hard shell filled with whatever. Honorable mention to that.
Workers are very sweet. If you love old school LA taco stands, it’s worth a stop.

the food its so good !!! also. they change the whole restaurant and its also remodeled and new people is working there its completly different !!!

BEST CHILE VERDE/​GREEN CHILE int town !! Been coming here for years and years and always get the same. A green chile burrito! Yeah the place is ugly, yeah the location is guetto, but the green chile is amazing !! SUPER HOT AND SPICY! Good Carnitas also. Stay away from their burgers and fries, you should not be ordering those in a Mexican Joint anyways… Oh and their Horchata is watered down. Just writing about this makes me want a chile verde burrito now !!

When this place is on point, it’s on point! Unfortunately, it’s not consistently on point. Their carne asada tostadas are HUGE and are loaded with beans and meat. The only downer is that usually they get sloppy with their meat and you will usually find huge chunks of fat within the meat. Some people like huge chunks of fat, I am not one of them. Also, their tacos are pretty good and the hot sauce used on it is spectacular! The carne asada burritos are also pretty good and the cheese they use on the inside is amazing. What’s nice is that their servings here are gigormous and their mozarella here is fresh and so tasty!!! It’s a pretty good place, not amazing, but worth the experience.

Needs an image. I have been coming to this place for years because I love their green and red salsa tacos. The tortillas are like every taco place. Thee green and red slasa that the tacos come with are similar to the texture of tamales, well in my family we make green and red salsa tamales, think of it as tomato paste, but in chilli flavor. Accompined with beans that taste like El Pollo Locl beans. Iv’e always orderd them with pork meat and they don’t just put the shreaded pork, they leave small chuncks of it. It’s a lot of meat that they have to serve it with two tortillas underneath. Iv’e also ate their burgers, they are not the best or the worst, but the taste are like ones you can make in your back yard. The fries are like they have been cooked off of a frozen food place.
Now the gorditas are really good, I do reccommend you try them, they are fat and you sometimes, if not experienced, have to use a fork to finish it. That’s all iv’e ate there that I can remember. Standard mexican drinks, no alcohol, I think this place only takes cash. You can eat outside, or inside. The outside is ugly there are holes on the middle of the tables because I guess they used to be able to provide shade using a umbrella. The table is concrete and so are the seats aboutside. The inside looks old has a salon type feel inside especially when you get your order inside. Juke box too.
I don’t know how you guys feel about looking at the cooking area, but… kinda looks dirty so watch out for roaches lol, just kidding maybe… It is in pacoima so the location blows because across from them they have a nasty looking pool place and right next door to them there is a slezzy bar. parking blows too. It’s in a poor neighborhood, plus no light to be able to turn. tuff to turn to the left so turn right, or take the back streets. It’s been here for years so It can’t be all that bad.
