    Nice place for a quick bite while strolling around downtown LA. Had two tacos (chicken-tasty with lots of juice and pork-drier than I’d like), with a generous portion of top notch rice and beans. My friend had an iced cafe leche which was also enjoyable. Omg! Went to the restroom before I left. The most disgusting restroom smell I’ve had to endure in YEARS!

    Very disappointed. I have been eating at this restaurant for many years but had not returned for quite a while until today. I ordered the #3 plate with a taco and tamale and the tamale was hard and dry with a tiny sprinkling of meat in the middle and the carnitas taco was dry. The rice and beans were tasteless. The restroom does not have a toilet seat dispenser so you have to use toilet paper as a seat cover, very inconvenient.
