Karina's Tacos — Restaurant in South El Monte

My experience in this place was horrible in every way!!!! When we were ordering the cashier had not customer service skills at all, we were getting to burritos and they wanted to charge like $30 for them.....it was ridiculously spensive 😭 While we were waiting for our meal to dine in all the tables were duty. When the order was ready they refuse to gave us the sauce we needed😭 They gave us 1 sauce and they told us if we need more we had to take the empty little cup to the kitchen to get more, this is unsanitary; this people should be trian to work in a restaurant business 😭 The sad part is that the person preparing our food and giving this instructions was the owner of the place, this is pathetic and unethical!!! Our burritos didn't even had meat in them😭 basically we were served bean and cheese instead of asada and buche; it was so disappointed for us😭 It just happened like 20 mins ago.... I will never go back to this money hungry unethical wanna be Mexican restaurant....😭 Shame on you......owner wanna...

My dad lives in South El Monte. I have been coming here for a decades. My favorite thing to eat in the entire world is a good bean burrito with a good tortilla and delicious hot chile. Well I came here because I saw it all the time when going to the $.99 store, but I never tried it. I assumed it was like all the other places in South El Monte that have basic bean burritos I have to say am never not gonna stop here when I come see my dad. The flower tortilla if it isn’t homemade it sure in the house taste like it the perfect texture The beans are just the way they’re supposed to be made. They are freaking delicious and I did ask for hot chili so they gave me a special one and holy moly that was delicious too! You would think that I’m being in El Monte most of the Mexican restaurants here are around by Mexicans and you could get a delicious bean burrito, it is not the case until today! I should’ve took a picture of it, but I pulled over and ate it in my car. I just could not believe how...

The food is great. My favorite place to get tacos from. However, they need better staff. They have messed up my orders countless times. I forgive most of those mess ups mainly because it they occured during a busy time. But today was empty. I ordered SEVEN tacos but only received FIVE. I was the only person there at the time so it couldn't have been that difficult to properly take my order. Luckily I was only charged for 5 (~$8) instead of 7 tacos so I took them and left. You might be wondering why I continue to go there if they keep messing up my order. Well, to be honest, there's are the obly tacos in the area that I like. Except sometimes on weekends there is a food truck (Lonchera) that sells them near a bar my parents frequent so we'll get them there...
