This place is awsome. My friends from Mexico told me of this place that reminded them of home, so i went here and was impressed. The carnitas and tamales are good.

This place is grade A doo-doo caca. La huerta- the restaurant/market & El Riconsito (both are closer than a full block away) are more authentic, taste better, and have FAST service. I grew up in L.A....
