Reviews
Review in English/Español I have only had the tacos de requesón (with shredded meat) at this place, the reason being they are probably the best ones I've had as far as mexican restaurants go. I am not a picky eater and usually like to try different things even in places where I have favorites, but it would be a crime punishable by execution to visit this place and not order these every time. The service is great, the wait is a little long when it's full but well worth it, and usually there's something to watch on the tv's. Friendly staff, good food, and a generally lively place. It will definitely remain as one of my favorites for a long time. El dia que me di cuenta que si vale la pena seguir viviendo es cuando me comi los tacos de requesón de este maravilloso lugar por primera vez. Solo hay 3 razones por la que le sigo echándo ganas a la vida: mi familia, mis amigos, y los tacos de requesón de La Chiva Loca en Downey, CA. Me da un grandísimo orgullo ser mexicana cada vez que me chingo unos tacos de aquí. No tengo duda que Dios ha bendecido las manos de los cocineros. Que tengan mas años con aún mas éxito, y que Diosito me los cuide. Arriba Guadalajara, y que Viva Mexico!
I've been coming here for years and could never go wrong with the Tortas Ahogadas! Such friendly staff and always feel welcomed. 100% recommend
The hours posted on Yelp are inaccurate. On Monday they close at 6 pm as listed on Google. I placed a phone order for pick up. They said it was cash only and it would be ready in 25 mins. The place was almost closing so it was fairly empty and clean. There is parking on the side. I went with the requeson tacos with carnitas. The salsa is very flavorful and spicy. The carnitas were very soft and tender. The onions on top gave the taco a nice crunch and added flavor.
My to-go place when I'm craving tacos dorados doblados de requeson (ricotta) o papa. Imagine 1, 2 or 3 tacos dorados bathed in a perfect tomato sauce topped with a gentle amount of beans, carnitas, shredded cabbage and seasoned red onions. Just like the torta ahogada Guadalajara style you Can make them as hot as you'd like. The salsa they serve with the chips squeeze some lime to it before you dip in. The staff is always on cue. They only take cash. If anyone knows the best Tejuino spot in L A please lmk.
We ended up here because of the funny name and food was on point! Service was quick and easy.
