El Taco Llama

They definitely stepped up their game after reopening this place. Carne asada and al pastor burritos are delicious.

Asada and the red sauce is amazing! But, they need to keep the tables in the dinning area clean. Every time I dine in its a hunt for a clean table. Otherwise this would’ve been a 5 star review.

Hijos de la chingada! What a let down.
So I love tortas, not just the fly ass honeys with the big boobs and «victory rolls» (pun intended) that love and struggle to
squeeze every pound of themselves into a size 6 pencil skirt (girl you know youz a size 10) you know, the fine chicks with pretty eyes and thunder thighs that wear fake tarantula-​like eyelashes and eyeliner that put Amy Winehouse to shame (RIP) and smell good as fuuuuu…
BTW: Torta:
Victory rolls:
Anyway, I stopped in here because I was cruising down Sherman Way and spotted the joint, figured a torta from a spot located in a primarily chunti ass hood would be bomber than ISIS when they’re on one. Fuck was I wrong.
The meat was tough, I mean tough like an old piece of leather. The beans tasted old and had a metallic taste, the bread was ok, not too soft, not to hard (get your minds out the gutter yo!)
Next time i’ll keep driving a block or so and hit Salsa and Beer. That shit is good.

This place used to be better, now your just better off going elsewhere. The food quality has gone down a lot as well as the service. I’ve had to literally wait like 30mins to get my food, and I would have probably still been waiting had I not gone up to the counter and reminded them. The carnitas are little cubed chunks not shredded, looks like they are boiled too. A few times I have been charged twice for the same meal. I hate to be putting this place down considering how good the food was a few years ago. I’ve been patient and considerate of new staff but enough is enough. Save yourself the disappointment and go elsewhere. I will not be returning.

Horrible establishment. It has a B and you can definitely see why; our food was dry and lacked flavor and the salsa bar was stocked with nasty, wilted cilantro and brown limes. NEVER AGAIN ;(

I had the nachos first off the cheese was not melted and the salsa had ice also the veggies had ice i was like ok… anyways the meat is very poor quality and the restaurant is very old and dirty the sauce bar looks like it hadn’t been cleaned since it was installed anyways waste of money would not recommend this place to my worst enemy

I personally like this place. well their food. lol every time I come here I always get the carne asada nachos by far the best I’ve tried the tacos r good also they r fast at serving ur food.

Flautas were pulled out of a refrigerator possibly a freezer right in front of me and heated up in a pan. I asked for no lettuce and there was a bunch on there. the salsa bar was pretty gross one of the salsas didn’t have a scoop/​serving spoon but a table size soup spoon in it. The entire spoon including the handle was in the salsa. One of the guys behind the counter was staring at me kinda creeper like made me uncomfortable.

I wish I had good things to say. I have been to a taco llama near Burbank and Coldwater. I know they can produce good food.
This, my first and likely last visit to this place, was a bad experience all around. I understand it’s not a fancy place and expectations should be adjusted, but both food and service was bad.
The cashier, a young, short girl was ignorant to the costs on the menu and did not go out of her way to find out what they were. She expected us to order the food and pay blindly. She did not communicate easy ingredient instructions to the cook, and when she handed us the food her face said «I don’t care».
Finally the tacos were mediocre at best. It’s sad to see when this happens. The owner could do so much better. Or perhaps he/​she can’t. Good luck!

The Gordita. One of my faviorite things in my world. Just meat, cheese, tomato, lettece, fried torilla. Its just amazing. Last time i went it was bad. This was not the El Taco LLama i grew up with. I hope they fix it soon because this was one of favorite places ever, but sadly i was disappointed last time. I hope if you try it its magical cause they place was amazing. I would of given it 5 stars but my last visit last month was disappointing.

It is OK. Not special about it but when I need some Mexican food I walk from my house here. Usually fast and they almost every time get it right!

Great tasting food! This is my go to place if I want real Mexican food. Good price too. I always get the Burrito and Taco Combo w/​sour cream for ~$ 6. They cook it pretty fast too. And the salsa is bomb. They also have Marvel VS. Capcom arcade and Telemudo on TV while you wait. Chill staff.

This place can’t touch El Burrito Jr. in the South Bay two in Torrance, Redondo Beach, Lomita, and Seal Beach.
I came here with my dad after picking up supplies at Home Depot right across the street. I thought the place looked kind of shady. As my dad ordered, I sat in the dining area and rested for a bit while watching Tella Novela on TV and understood nothing of it but I was tempted to change it to something else.
As for the food, it is okay. Nothing really worth mentioning. The food my dad ordered had a soft taco, burrito, rice, beans, and salad thing combo. It was way too much food.
I don’t know anything else to say about this place other than the food was ok.

It’s sad, this place is actually quite good but has few reviews. The place has horrible décor, has cash only, and unless you are Hispanic you will most likely be turned off by this little spot. However, if you can get past all that, they have great tasting tacos and nachos.

The TACOS and CHILE REYENOS are GOOD. That’s about all I had, the place inside, ahhhh well it definitely needs a make over, the blue on the wall must go. PS I don’t think they have a public restroom… So Please wash your hands before you come here. lol :)

Ok I agree with the other reviews that say this place isn’t exactly anything special. But when I want some good tacos de carne asada this is my go to spot. They chop up the meat nice and small so you dont get any big chunks of meat in your taco. Also the chile rellenos & gorditas are good. Look people this is no fine dining place, but you can’t beat $ 6.00 for five tacos… And they are tasty. This is coming from a Mexican

I used to love this Mexican hole in the wall restaurant for cheap eats. The portions haven’t been as generous since it went under new management. What do you expect from a hole in the wall spot? With the new Salsa & Beer restaurant now open, this place will still be around for the cheaper afficianados of Mexican food, but go elsewhere if you are seeking better quality.

Great mexican food

I go this place when I need my ‘authentic’ Mexican fix. I agree with the other reviewers that there is nothing incredibly special but that’s not why I go here. For 6 dollars you can get a full plate of side stuffs a good burrito and taco. It is good food which I always enjoy.
But it’s cash only. Eat it.

I used to work by this place so we would get it every now and then. Its nothing special. Nothing there really stood out. The burrito mojado is prolly the best thing there, but I just like those burritos anyways
You can make your burrito or torta a combo, they add another taco, and give you rice and beans on the side, but it just becomes too much food for me.
At least we would go there over the other 2 mexican food places within a block away.
