Birrieria Calvillo Aguascalientes — Restaurant in El Monte

I threw the majority of the carne asada tacos away because the meat wasn’t drained. It had so much oil in the meat that the tortillas wore soggy by time I got home and dripping oil. The meat definitely lacked flavor so I added some of my own but after a few bites it tasted like a mixture of carne asada and ground beef….not only that you can always see the chunks of asada in tacos this has more of a ground beef look, taste, and flavor to the meat so I tossed it out…..seriously a waste of $15. I will never eat here again. The bag of cilantro, onions, and lemons were tossed in 1 small bag but the cilantro had so much turned green that I didn’t feel comfortable adding it the meat. Next time I will stick with El Taco Man they seem to be the only spot to season the meat, drain it, and the condiments are always fresh. I never question their quality of their food. I could have went there and spent way less. SMH...

The cash-only policy, while requiring advance planning, contributes to their competitive pricing. Ample parking is conveniently located behind the...
