El Mariachi Loco Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Food is authentic and DELISH! Fair prices and portions. Lengua & carnitas tacos, meat was tender & tasty. Carne asada burrito & chicken sopes. Both good in taste & size. Fresh salsa bar was clean with a nice variety. Special guac sauce is spicy.... but oh so yummy! Bottled Mexican sodas in refrig case. Roomy dining area inside with some outside sitting as well. Great family place even has a couple video games & a TV. The night cashier was a bit rude. He could learn from our server, who was a fantastic & friendly guy.

They all lack...

Service is friendly, even at Sunday 9:30pm! Food was awesome. I ordered a birria soup/stew w goat meat and a lengua taco. Free chips, awesome salsas, housemade hot sauce, pickled carrots and onions. My brother got some green enchiladas w cheese.

I loved all the food. I will definitely be going back here more than once. This is one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants I've been lucky enough to try in the area.

I'll try the pastor tacos, sopes, and whatever else they recommend. Maybe...
