El Chato Taco Truck

Finally got around to visiting this truck -- tough for us since they don't open until 9pm. Family life not conducive to the late-night eats.
Glad we had the chance to check it out. The pastor was super tasty, the chorizo had a true "sausage" type consistency, which was great. The carne was really good, but ranked 3rd of the 3.
The rice and beans on the side were just OK, nothing special, but worked to round out the meal.
They were quick, and cheap -- got out of there with a grip of food for $10. We'll definitely be back.

Super duper. I think the one thing they could do to push it over the top would be to allow ordering on-line. Other than that, being able to place a call and have the food waiting on the porch when I get home is super convenient. Good selection of pet food, and the employees know their stuff.

One visit in, so I'll be back to evaluate other menu items. But for now, it's good, not great.
The shortrib sandwich was smallish for the money, particularly when compared to the masterpiece of a shortrib sandwich at Joan's on Third. And I was bummed by the house-made potato chips not being nearly crispy enough.
As for service, I would say it was neutral.
As I said, good enough to return, but it's a long walk, so I'm hoping for something better the next time around.

Great espresso, luv their cappuccinos. But for some reason they can't make an Americano worth a nickel. They *always* use too much water. I've tried 3 times and I'm giving up.
Otherwise a great place for a latte or a cap, and some tasty snacks to boot.

It's early... as a matter of fact, Goal's official opening is today, after a soft opening earlier this week.
The good is that there are plenty of flat-screens around the place, and the decor, by Spacecraft, is all leathery and woodsy goodness.
The bad is that nothing on the menu jumped out at me, and the service at the bar was... lacking. Additionally, drink prices are just North of reasonable, so a bit more attention would have been great. The juice in the mimosa was sour, and they were already out of Hoegaarden. And the beer selection is weak.
I might give them a week or two to get settled, and I'm hoping I'll be able to add another star or two to their rating. The place is beautiful, and I'd love to have a reason to return aside from the decor.

Better than average treats, like brownies and cookies, and the coffee is good to-go. But the service is dismissive and the food is boring.
Grab a latte and a cookie before a movie and take it into the theater with no problems. There are far better places to sit down and eat, however.

Great for lunch and dinner. Super beer selection, communal vibe and consistently good food. Service without a hassle. Frequent beer-themed events and limited edition brews. Worth "fanning" on Facebook for the updates.

Setting up a little starter for my toddler, as he's way into fish right now. Not looking to make a huge investment. It seems to me that someone that is serious about fish and knows what they want might do well here, but I felt as though my questions were a nuisance. Now, it's not to say they were rude, but they certainly didn't go out of their way.
If you're looking for service and guidance beyond 2-3 word replies, try someplace else. Based on what I've read here, I probably should have went the extra mile-or-so up Sepulveda to "The Aquarium".

My First ConcertQuiet Riot. Really.
I was ordering the part online immediately and had the TV working within a week.
They could easily have taken the same approach as the other service centers, but they were open with their expertise and happy to talk me through how to take care of the issue on my own.
Thank you Johnny's!
