La Bufadora Baja Grill El Monte — Restaurant in El Monte

Overall : Solid food spot.

Pros: Food tends to have amazing flavor new price options are great varied food options, mostly all tasting delicious decent food portions sizes (minus the fries and nachos, when compared to a few months ago, but inflation has hit everyone so not really something that hinders the review)

Cons: inconsistent food flavor (most noticeable in the tacos) -- ex#1. Tacos de birria won't be the same from one week to the next -- ex#2. Asada and al pastor also have major fluctuations in flavor orders being incorrectly provided (I don't always check every single item when my order is ready and when I don't I tend to have incorrect meat substitutions in the tacos, other food items are usually spared from this mistake)

Final thoughts/suggestions: great food choice diligently check your food when picking it up be flexible with fluctuations in taste (most noticeable in the taco options) overall they are amazing

The shrimp quesadilla is my go to because it's huge and the cheese is perfect inside. I don't like how the quesadillas don't come with sour cream and or guacamole though .... (they are .75 each for a small side) The service is standard and friendly. The ambience is a busy taco shop with seating that is usually...

Place is well known for their potato & fish tacos. Shrimp cocktails & asada sopes are good as well. They incorporated a few new dishes to their menu. My daughter loved their new grilled chicken salad. Chicken meat was soft and with an outstanding flavor during our visit. Their grilled onions order used to go well with their potato tacos but they are not part of their menu anymore. Flavored water drinks have less flavor than other places so bottled sodas are a better option. Food and customer service were great during our visit but their only restroom needed some maintenance. Also their automatic soap dispenser was not working and they did not have an alternative soap dispenser that does not relay...
