    This place is all in on wrestling! We paid $5 to book the Champion's Booth. Worth the $5 - plus we got the 15% off mask discount which offset that cost completely. They bring out chips and salsa in a giant gold trophy, plus you get table service. We had:
    - California Birria Burrito: delicious and would definitely get again; not as spicy as we thought, which we appreciated
    - Poblano California Burrito: very good; Perfect mix of flavors; could have used a little more sauce - the saucy bites were the best
    - side of corn: just ok, not as much flavor as I'd hoped; glad I tried but wouldn't get again

    Just ridiculously stale food. Sunday evening, not super late, should be ready to serve fresh food. Had no time and had to eat so I thought I try it here again to see if it's any better.

    Ordered 2 standard tacos: steak and adobada. The tortillas were so stale, they were like eating leather. The meat was cold and dry. It was only because I had to run and meet people for a show that I ate the food at all.

    Second time here the food was old and stale. Just unacceptably bad.

    Food is good, customer service is not.

    Was standing in line waiting to order, the only one in line. There were three servers standing behind the counter talking to each other.

    The one who was taking the orders made eye contact with me knowing I was waiting to order then continued to talk with the others for a few more minutes before finally taking my order.

    Doesn't surprise me with today's current state of society. Good customer service is rare nowadays and if you happen to get it, consider yourself lucky.

    Was there today around 12:30 PM for lunch just in case the owner reads this and wants to know who was working the counter.

    A Ray Mysterio themed taco shop.

    Their condiments are hands down awesome, particularly the one with with the peach and the one that is white. If you have nachos, break them into small pieces, add these two condiments with the nachos and eat. (9/10)

    We tried two kinds of tacos - surf and turf and queso birria. Both are delicious. (9/10)

    We also tried the Champion Nachos with Steak  (7.5/10).

    Restrooms are clean and well maintained. Parking to a nearby lot or near street parking (might not be available).

    I haven't been here for a few years now....no line on a Saturday night.

    The tacos are way smaller than they use to be and they are not as tasty as I remembered.  I had the shrimp/steak taco with avocado--and I recall that one was enough but I would have to eat 3 at least to get full now.  It's still delicious with the orange sauce, but way smaller.  

    I tried the pork abodabo spicy version grilled pineapple and it was really good, but again small.

    Same deal with the burritos--the steak burrito is smaller than I remember but not as tasty.  Missing is the light orange sauce that is in some tacos and burritos. Prices have also gone up too -- with the surf and turf about $18 now.

    What has not changed is the amazing cilantro salsa/dressing to dip your chips! Love, love, love the cilantro dressing!

    Kudos for having kids meal--my daughter's taquitos were okay. Came with side of fries, which were okay too.

    You can reserve online to sit in the wrestling booth for $5 -- and it was taken that night.

    Loved the surf and turf taco and the ado haba taco! Shrimp was fresh, meat was flavorful, taco shell was warmed and soaked in the sauce. We also got complimentary chips for every order. Make sure to load up on the spicy salsa and the cilantro crema! Super yum.

    Service was fast, the place had fun decor too. It was pretty packed inside so we sat outdoors.

    There's street parking and a complex next to the restaurant that you can park in. Went on a Saturday night but we were still able to get a spot pretty easily.

    I'll add to the thousands of reviews here.  It wasn't terribly busy which was good.  We had the Surfin California and the Surf & Turf taco.  Those two items were more than enough to feed two people.

    Orders come with free chips and salsa. The salsas were excellent. The red salsa was fire, the green salsa was mild and the peach salsa was sweet and spicy which was my favorite.

    Surfin California was a big burrito and was delicious and super filling. There was a good amount of meat and the ingredients were good. This thing was big.

    The Surf & Turf taco contained carne asada and shrimp and an avocado slice.

    All in all, both delicious and filling. The price of $16.50 for a burrito was pretty high but overall it was a memorable experience!

    So lucky to have stumbled upon this spot! I got the ADO-HABA PIÑA CALIFORNIA burrito and it was one of the most uniquely delicious burritos I've ever had! The pork adobada was seasoned extremely well, the habanero provided spicy heat, and the pineapple provided the perfect sweet contrast. The fries provided a welcomed new texture which made every bite flavorful and refreshing. There is a self-serve salsa bar on the side - double (or even triple) up on the cilantro crema.. sooo good. The size of the burrito was excellent. I only ate about 2/3 on a completely empty stomach, and it was great reheated the next day. The free side bag of chips was a great surprise!

    There's a cute patio in the front and ample seating inside. It's located on a busy street near the freeway - you might be able to snag a street parking spot out front, or definitely can in the nearby neighborhoods.

    Excited to come back next time I'm in town!

    Had to try a taco spot since we're in town!

    We found parking on another street then walked over. It wasn't busy.

    Some of my friends got the mango drink with tequila while I got horchata. Fantastic! Although my friends said they didn't taste alcohol in their drinks.

    Tacos were decent. I got grilled shrimp, surf and turf, and adobada. Didn't love the shrimp taco. Not my fave. My friends got the mahi version and didn't love it either.

    They do give complimentary chips and salsa. A spicy one, a cilantro sour cream one, and a mild verde one. Yum!

    Food does come out quickly which is a plus.

    Cool vibes here too!
