El Sauz Tacos — Restaurant in Glendale

My family and I have been coming here since the 90s when the owners used to have the lunch truck across the street. This place has made changes for the worse, unfortunately. Burritos are now much smaller. They are like 75% in size of what they used to be.

As a reference to illustrate the new small size of the burritos, I have added pictures of one of the burritos pictured along with two of the small salsa containers they give you with to go orders. Obviously, very small burritos.

More detail: Some time ago, we noticed the increase in price and the use of a smaller tortilla for the burritos. We were OK because a price increase was reasonable during the times, but we also noticed they started using a smaller tortilla. Regardless of the smaller tortilla, they still put the same amount of carne asada and everything else.

Today, we ordered by phone the usual 3 burritos. When we got home and took the burritos out of the bag, SURPRISE!!: we got the three smallest burritos we had ever seen. Much smaller than what we had become accustomed in the past 30+ years of coming here.

I suggested my wife to go back and complain, but since we live about 20 minutes away, and it was dinner time, we decided to call instead. We tried to speak with the owner or the owner's son who was there when we got our food. I doubt the person who responded to our concern was either of them. He did not appear to care much, and he just said that he was sorry and that what we got today was going to be it in the future.

Hopefully they correct the course they are taking with smaller burritos, higher price (which I am OK with), and poor interest in customer...

By far some of the best tacos that I have ever had in the Los Angeles area!! This place is for sure going to be a new favorite of mine now!!

We were craving some good street tacos, and came across this place as a recommended spot in the Glendale area. We decided to give it a go, and were also pleased to find that they had ample parking available around the restaurant - a rarity around Los Angeles!!

I've seen other reviews complain about the dining area. All I have to say to that is, seriously? This is an authentic Mexican taco spot, it's not going to be trendy or hipster or aesthetic. They have a simple dining area with mostly tables that seat about four people, and is kept relatively clean.

You order at a counter and have to pay with cash, but that's fine with me, because the food here is quite cheap. Tacos are less than $2, which is always a surprise here in Los Angeles. Now, on to the tacos themselves.

The tacos here are amazing. Definitely on par with some of the best street tacos that I've ever had. Perfect toppings, beautifully cooked meat, just the right amount of spice with the salsa. The cool, crisp radishes that they provide with the tacos are a great contrast to the spice as well.

I loved El Sauz Tacos! It will now definitely be at the top of my list for spots to grab some excellent and cheap street tacos from! I'm...

It is agreeable that having so many 5 Star reviews isn't always a good indicator, or maybe it is because of those who just don't know any better.

This place is not the bomb nor is it the best place along San Fernando Boulevard. Although this place is popular in the land of the Kebabs and you will find the local fire engine parked out front, but do beware the locals seem to love the maskless look while waiting for their numbers to be called out.

The portions are on par, but the Asada, Pollo, and other proteins are not seasoned well. You'll get a nicely prepared Burrito or Taco, but you will need the salsa to deliver up some flavor in every bite.

They are generous in the accompanying trimmings. A takeaway order will give you salsa, limes, and grilled serrano peppers.

The service is great and they are opened late if some Mexican-style foods are what you may be craving. Again, there are some better options in this city and elsewhere on San...
