Carnitas El Veneno

Yum yum! Carnitas and Buche are awesome. Totally recommend them. They are so welcoming and fun. Didn’t take long to get my tacos. Tacos served hot and fresh. :)

Best carnitas tacos and asada tacos, the beef tacos you see a men cooking the meat outside in a grill and they add guacamole to your tacos love the tacos

Horrible costumer service by the owner. I asked if he was the only one there cooking and as a cashier and he took it personal and started lecturing me. The place was empty. They don’t have tripa which are my favorite tacos.

Cool little spot. What I had was delicious & filling! I’ll be back for sure to tackle the rest of the menu :)

I ate there two times first time was good the service inside was cool my wife had the mole and I had tacos they were good the second time we went back to eat tacos and we ordered from the stand out side when I went to pay the cashier said the price went up from 1.50 $ to 1.80 $ because now they have to charge tax I said what I was just here about a week ago the tacos are good but $ 1.80 for a LA street taco is out of line especially when you have taco stands on every corner ??? It’s hard to pay $ 10 for 4 tacos and a drink I won’t be going back

Tasty asada tacos a bit fatty but still very good. Very nice atmosphere and great service.

Amazing Tacos very similar to TJ tacos … Hand made tortillas & guacamole asada tacos are the best!!!

The reviews were right!
These tacos are good! I highly recommend the Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos! I tried the asada taco and it was good too. The chicken taco was not impressive but okay. The hot sauce there is spicy too, just the way it should be.

The Jamaica here was one of the best I’ve ever had. Good job. I ordered the huevos rancheros. They were delicious a little on the spicy side but very tasty. They also gave me handmade tortillas which were insanely good. I really loved this place. Come check it out.

Good tacos. Spicy sauce. Good prices. Friendly staff. The weekend al carbon tacos are great!

Tacos were ok
Horchata ok
Platos and tortillas good
Only Damm flaw was the beans as they tasted spoiled

This place is great!
I grew up and still live down the street 22 years and counting, and I finally made it over. After reading other people’s reviews I decided to order 3 Tacos Mixto and on my own I ordered 3 more tacos de Chicharon and the Wifey had a torta de Carne Asada without refried beans.
All their plates and platters looked amazing. Especially the Molcajete de Mixto, however we decided to keep it simple due to it being our first time.
Food came out relatively quick, same with the drinks. However, when my girlfriend bit into her torta, she found no avocado, which we were specially told would be in there. It was a bummer for my GF, but she decided not to say anything. As for my tacos? BOMB. The Chicharon tacos were a bit difficult to eat being that the chunks of Chicharon were quite big, but they were dealt with accordingly! The MIXTO tacos were something else! The meat was made of pork, but it wasn’t just Carnitas. All those little bits and pieces just melt in your mouth! The tortillas were also handmade! A HUGE PLUS HERE!!!
The service was a little shotty, but we did get in just about 30 minutes before closing, soo can’t really complain about that.
CAUTION: El Veneno, or Poison/​Venom, is their delicious Salsa Roja. ITS FUCKING HOT! I made the mistake of drowning 3 of my tacos in this salsa, but it was all so good I couldn’t stop. My stomach’s going to be dealt a number for sure.
4 stars easy, stop in!

Carnitas plate all the way! Their chicharron tacos and their handmade tortillas are pretty tasty too! We even took half a pound of it to go — heart attack city!

This place has the best carnita tacos. The tortillas are made in the resturant to order. and the carnita is always tender never dry. Every time I go there I want to order something else because they have a full menu, but I ways end up ordering the carnita tacos. Yummy!

This place is definitely on point with their Mexican food, since I started working down the street from this place I come here often and I’ve always ordered something different and everything that I have ordered was simply perfect. My favorite thing so far was the Cemitas!!! I ordered the Carnitas Cemita and it was simply amazing, the Tijuana tacos are so good too I recommend these to anyone who loves tacos. The inside of this restaurant is also pretty cool they have nice setup, it’s not too big which I like, it give me are more cozy home kind of feeling. Overall everyone needs to give this place a shot and they will not be disappointed

I’m a lengua fanatic that’s often searching for the perfect taco. I found this place right before setting out to stargaze. Usually I enjoy lengua for it’s soft texture, but this place has a good cooking style. I’ll warn that the salsa is too damn spicy for my taste buds. I’m just a wimp. If you’re looking for good tacos, look no further.

Excellent tacos Tijuana style. The tortillas are made while the meat is being cooked. The flavor is excellent and the meat inside each taco is a good serving. I got full with only two. Try the carnitas with their special carnita sauce.

There are tacos… and then there are TACOS!!!
This is definitely the latter. My friends took me here for two reasons: Pork cheek tacos and mixto tacos. I was not disappointed!
All my friends know how I like to ‘get cheeky with it’, so they brought me here for the good stuff. And good stuff it was. The cheek meat was cooked just right and the flavor was on point. They had the normal toppings on the taco (onions and cilantro) and it definitely added texture and flavor. Not an abnormally large or small taco, but the normal size ‘street’ taco you would see. It is easy to eat many, many of these.
The mixto taco was my favorite. They take all the parts of a pig, and put it in one taco… brilliant! The best part of the taco is the hidden piece of chicharron at the bottom. You bite the taco and get that meaty and soft flavor from the pork, and then at the end you get that crispy crunch from the chicharron… absolute perfection. I am always on the hunt for the perfect bite, and this is as close as I have come in a long time.
No brainer… go here…4 stars

i’ve driven by this place many times and always wondered about the line at the outside taco stand… last week I stopped and grabbed tacos carnitas…
tasty meat, hand made corn tortillas, fresh cilantro and cebolla, ridiculously good chile rojo. and to top it all off, they got Jarritos too!
don’t drive by… stop and eat here!

I’m student-​teaching at the middle school down the street from here, so my teaching partner and I have been trying out the local spots whenever we have the time and money to do so. We’ve been to this place about four times and each time the food and service have been spot-​on. What is surprising is that both times that we’ve gone in, the place has been practically empty. Maybe they make most of their business on the weekends or with the truck. Anyway, both times the food was exceptionally fresh and tasty. The prices are pretty cheap for a sit-​down restaurant, but my teaching partner thinks it could be cheaper, although he’s comparing it to the 2 for $ 1 taco truck up the street (which is surprisingly decent, but that’s another review). Apples and oranges, I say.
Anyway, what stood out to me about the food is that they pay attention to the details. I’ve been to countless places where the main dish is fine, but the rice and beans are an afterthought. Not so here – the rice and beans were delicious. And the corn tortillas they use on the $ 1.50 tacos were fresh and handmade. Can’t beat that! The service was also wonderful. They didn’t mind that we hung out and graded papers for a while after finishing eating and kept checking up on us without rushing us. I’m definitely coming back here when I get the chance.
