Campos Tacos

I wish I could give 0 stars, because of the poorest customer service I encountered. I called and the worker answered the phone and just sat it down. Mind you I hear the conversation he is having with a customer. He eventually picked the phone back up and says «how can I help you», I said «yes, what time do you close?» He replied «That’s it!» I then hear a dial tone… I was baffled by the RUDENESS… I will never patronize them again and will also spread the word to my co-​workers who patronize this place on a daily basis… My recommendation is !!!

Disappointing at best with the macho burrito. No flavor what so ever. Has to drench it in salsa and sour cream hard pieces of fat in the beef. Very sad to say, you know I really had high hopes
For a authentic Mexican joint very Americanized bland Mexican food similar to TITOs tacos. Nice staff and good prices. Poor food.

As unappetizing as the array of antiquated dust is, clinging to the tiny clay pot garland and faux cantina support beam; the prices are exceedingly low «3.50 for a bean and cheese and lettuce burrito» is unheard of. It tastes exactly like all the other Mexican food in LA.

Best fast food Mexican in Los Angeles. Enchiladas are superb as are the hard shell Tacos. These guys are friendly and fast with great food and prices. Love this place.

Great beef and chicken tacos, rice and beans.
The chips were too hard. not a place to go for good chips but the regular food menu is great! Great service and clean with big booths to sit and eat there. Highly recommend!

Wow what has happened to Campos?
We’ve been going here for over 15 years as we live in the neighborhood and have always enjoyed their food n service
Well today we were trying to order 3 Carne Asada burritos, 2 of them with NO RICE and one with NO BEANS plus all 3 with red sauce on top and lastly the 2 with NO Rice we asked to Add on Avocado… The guy at the cash register taking the order got all confused… First saying We Can’t get the red sauce on top UNLESS we get a Macho burrito… NO I’ll pay Extra and get the burrito how we’d like it and NEVER EVER had this problem in the past… Secondly he stated they don’t have Avocado only Guacamole… My wife asked well what’s on the Avocado Burrito or Avocado Cheeseburger then?
He stated on the Avocado burrito it’s just pre made guacamole but on the hamburger its cut pieces of the Avocado
What Da Heck? So I said well PAY EXTRA FOR THE CUT AVOCADO… His answer was NOPE we don’t sell it for the burritos u can only get the Guacamole
After going these few rounds w the cashier it was obvious we weren’t getting anywhere so my wife said Fine the Guacamole will work
We stepped to the side and he started telling the cooks in Spanish NO BEANS IN ANY OF THE BURRITOS… Again What Da Heck??? My wife speaks fluent Spanish and quickly Corrected him and said NO it’s beans in 2 of them none in the 3^rd one…
Once at home the burritos were pretty good BUT THERE WAS NO GUACAMOLE PUT ON THEM even though WE PAID EXTRA FOR IT… UHGGGG
EDIT…The 2^nd burrito had NO BEANS OR GUACAMOLE. JUST MEAT ONLY Doh!!! Would take another star away if I could
I don’t know if these guys are new or weekend shift but I sure hope the manager or owner looks into it and fixes the problems
If the amount of negative reviews can’t show you something is wrong or your past loyal customers not coming in anymore well then this business will continue going down hill even further
I give it 2 stars because the burrito was pretty good even though not 100% how we ordered them… But it loses 3 stars due to the service n cashier not knowing what he’s doing… Please Hire some people with restaurant n cashier experience who know how to take orders correctly
EDIT…The 2^nd burrito had NO BEANS OR GUACAMOLE. JUST MEAT ONLY Doh!!! Wou

Decent authentic Mexican food. Affordable. I like their chicken hard tacos. Their fish tacos aren’t too shabby either. Their beef tacos are a hit or miss for me… But I keep ordering them so I guess they must be doing something right. Handful of chips come with your order.

0 stars…
Ordered 4 asada macho burritos got instead 4 beans burrito with lettuce, 2 or 3 pieces of beef, burrito wasn’t even warm
Not going back ever again
Stay away from this place

Incredible food — fantastic fried tacos, and their al pastor burrito is amazing, especially wet style.
Wish they’d give you more chips with your order, but that’s not a deal breaker for me

I am typically a loyal costumer but this place really has just let the ball down. I’ve been going to Campos for decades and the food has always been pretty decent.
However, more recently they have started microwaving food and the staff can be seen not caring and just joking around in the kitchen area while neglecting & being rude to customers & messing up orders.
Last night was really my final straw, when the 2 people working there for the night were horsing around in the kitchen obviously not caring for the restaurant or its customers at all. They were speaking in spanish and talking extremely harshly about the person behind me who had just ordered his food. I guess they didn’t expect him to know spanish because when he informed them he understood they were calling him racial slurs, talking about, and laughing at him they seemed pretty caught off guard. Rather than apologize, one of them simply said «well who cares I don’t know you.» These same two people, messed up my billing, messed up my order, and really just seem to not care about anything.
So if you would like to go to a restaurant and have your microwaved food overbilled while staff racially harass you (while trying to hide it in another language) and get your order wrong… by all means — go to this place…
Until I see those two employees gone, I won’t be back.

Food was so disgusting. Ordered for pick up and as soon as I got it went right to the trash. Apparently Campos on Robertson just stopped trying. Place needs to be shut down.

Wow what a great little spot. First, prices are great. 2 tacos $ 5 (big tacos) and you should be full, lots of choices. Second, great staff and lots of seating.
This is my new go to spot!

Diahreaa CHA CHA CHA!!! This place is DIS-​GUST-​ING. Stay away! The guacamole is like soup. Gross. The diner is never clean and the burritos are so sloppy and poorly made that it doesn’t even stay in the tortilla. The quality of tortilla is like if I put hot meat and beans in a Kleenex napkin. You’ve got like 30 seconds to the pile of slop and then you’re covered in the stuff. You end up looking like a 10 yr old fat kid with no napkins at Baskin Robbins. Ok, enough ripping on this place, it needs a serious overhaul.
For now, go elsewhere…

If you want real Mexican food this is not it.
It’s only around due to high volume of young
Teenage kids from Hamilton high school that don’t know what real Mexican food should taste like.

This was one of the go-​to places when I was in high school. It didn’t seem packed with peeps and peepettes as in my day but that may have been because it was way after school let out or the whippersnappers just don’t like their burritos anymore.
I had the All Carnitas Burrito. Not at all what I expected. It tasted a-​ok but I was expecting more along the lines of fried pork chunks and not shredded porn chunks. My mom and cousin enjoyed their sopes but my brother hated their mealy fries (though it’s a Mexican restaurant, he shouldn’t have been eating a cheeseburger and fries. He’s super basic).

Take me back to my high-​school days when we were restricted from straying too far from campus for lunch, turn me into a L.A. Hammy High student and put a Campos Tacos three blocks away, and you’d have yourself one happy camp (os)er.
But I’m not in high school anymore, and I can drive or walk anywhere I want to get whatever lunch I want, and I don’t even care (much) about what it might cost.
My last visit must have been sometime in the ‘80s when I had business at the former Palms Teen Post across the street. Campos’ wasn’t memorable, so it was time to give carry-​out another try, now that I have a tonier customer north on Robertson Avenue, routing me past the restaurant on the way home.
Shredded beef crispy taco was the first victim, a lot like Culver City’s Tito’s with tomato chunks added, but a disturbing dearth of shredded cheese and lettuce. Three beef taquitos are served on a bed of shredded lettuce, and are kept crispy by isolating the guacamole in a sealed cup inside the order’s styrofoam container.
Three vessels of salsa are plunged into a bed of ice at the salsa bar: mild red, medium red with onions and cilantro, and jalapeño made with sliced carrots and chopped, not minced or diced, chilies. It’s a spare selection, but just might be the restaurant’s strong suit.
That is, until you try the carnitas, beans and rice burrito a la carte for $ 4.95. Stuffed with chunks of shredded pork, plus cilantro and red salsa, it’s a carnivore’s delight that keeps on giving. But, for me, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. The Campos chain’s traditional specialty has been hefty burritos and fundamental, no-​nonsense salsas.

Came here during lunch time because I was craving tacos. Their taco prices were alright it wasn’t cheaper than other places I been and I read a Unilocal review that said their nacho supreme is good. So that is what I ordered, and I ordered an horchata as my drink.
The horchata was pretty horrible. It was like an American packaged horchata from milk cartons. It wasn’t nt grainy with rice and it seemed to lack the sweet cinnamon taste that I was craving for (that I could have gotten from other places). At least the price was relatively cheap, with a large one it only costed me $ 1.87+tax for that.
My super nacho was alright. I got everything on top that included your choice of meat, salsa, sour crème and guacamole. I chose al pastor as my meat and given the circumstances I couldn’t really taste it because of everything else on it. The meat wasn’t bad, therefore I have no complaints. The problem that I had was that the sour cream and guacamole was really flaccid. The texture of it was watered down, and the same can be said about their guacamole, which came out less green than than fresh ones.
I didn’t really expect this place to perform up to high standards but I didn’t understand why sour cream and guacamole were soft and browning.
Besides that their sauces were pretty good, and I enjoyed their spicy green sauce (with a lot of pickled jalapeño. If I am in the area, maybe I will come back if I am really hungry. I wouldn’t come back to this place because I want to though.

In terms of bang-​for-​the-​buck, Campos is one of the best fast-​food Mexican joints in this area of West LA. I’m conscious of the fact that LA has amazing Mexican food — but the particular area where this Campos is located does not have a wealth of good Mexican restaurants. Campos is one of the best.
Prices are cheap — about $ 8 a person all in, or less. They serve good horchatas, and make great burritos. The chicken they use, along with the guacamole, are very good.
The restaurant has a couple TVs that broadcast soccer games or Spanish soap operas, which are always fun to watch while you eat. Otherwise, the décor is very blah, with a few Mexican murals and accoutrements on the wall — but I wouldn’t expect any better from such an inexpensive place.
You order at the counter and are given your food quickly. The place could be a little cleaner at times, but I recognize Mexican food can be messy to eat.
Overall, this is very good Mexican food for the price, and the best Mexican food in the area.

I’m would say this is a three star place with ok Mexican food for a chain. I wanted to rate them higher based on the pickled peppers at the salsa bar, but when I saw the cook microwaving my food on styrofoam, I had to take back that extra star… don’t they watch Dr. Oz?
The guacamole was kind of runny, like I think they used those cheap avocados and not the haas. But it tasted ok. The enchilada was tasty. The beans were standard.
Overall, this is a post drinking kind of place. Divey looking and in need of an overhaul.

It’s alright, it’s okay. It’s okay, it’s alright.
It’s good, but it’s a little on the divey side. For a Campos, it’s larger than normal. The salsa bar is good, and the food is what you expect for a quick taco/​burrito place. But it’s far from places in the same category: Chipotle, Baja fresh, Poquito Mas, Rubio’s, and Qdoba, but better than Taco Bell, Del Taco, and Green Burrito.
What do I like? Big drinks, and they got’em.
