Tamales Veracruz MRV — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I recently ordered delivery and was pleased that the food arrived warm. We selected the green chicken tamal, Al pastor tacos, and carne asada fries. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet expectations.

The green chicken tamal was lacking in flavor and appeared to rely on green sauce added after cooking, rather than being infused with it during preparation. The Al pastor tacos were particularly disappointing — the majority of the meat consisted of large pieces of fat, and the remaining portions were overcooked and burnt. We ultimately had to throw them away.

The carne asada fries were the most enjoyable item, but even they contained fatty and gristly pieces that were difficult to eat.

I was genuinely looking forward to this meal, especially after reading numerous positive reviews. It’s disappointing that my experience did not reflect the same level of quality others seemed to...

Fantastic Mexican spot with real heart. We had the chef’s tacos, a chicken burrito, and tortilla chips with guacamole to start. The chips were crisp, and the guacamole was bright, creamy, and so fresh that we kept going back for more. The tacos were loaded with flavor and cooked just right, and the chicken burrito was generous, well-seasoned, and satisfying from the first bite to the last.

Service was a highlight. The staff were genuinely kind, fast, and more than accommodating without ever feeling pushy. You feel welcomed the second you walk in. The place itself is cozy and cheerful — a sweet little spot that makes you want to linger.

Prices felt fair for the quality and portions, and everything arrived hot and nicely presented. We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop here. Super, super tasty food and an easy, enthusiastic...

I would share a photo but the food is gone. I was late to what I learned is a local favorite and nothing missed.i can’t wait to go back.

Okay so Millionaire Burrito - bomb. The secret is in the steak. Cooked Medium. Also the portioning is perfect. Also toasted? Was it toasted? Idk but wow.

The Mango Juice - to me more like a high quality mango smoothie with no ice. It literally tastes like they picked the mango at the perfect ripeness and they juiced it theirselves

The Churro - admittedly I normally hate the cream inside of a churro, but today I stepped out of my comfort zone and now I’m convinced that homemade churros are the only churros that exist.

Listen, I’m so happy that this is a few blocks away, and that I can try more things. Best Mexican food on this...
