This spot is a little hidden but SOO GOOD. the tortillas hechas de mano are amazing and their meat is always perfectly cooked. The service is quick and they're on top of everything. Definitely one of my go to places for bomb Mexican food

Bomb bomb BOMB Mexican food. Hardworking and kind team existing here. Authentic taste and feel like my grandmas kitchen. I'd come here again when my grandma doesn't feel like cooking or I'm in a quick pinch for food on the go, and that's something I never say because she cooks the most authentically. Carne asada plate was perfect with my lunch, plus tortillas de maiz. You can find Mexican food everywhere, but not all of it is good. Here is it. I'll be back!!!

Was looking around for solid burrito place in Culver, and I think I've found one! Tacomiendo is a small hole-in-the-wall with limited parking outside, and Mexican music playing inside at the just the right volume- good vibes, but not overly loud to dissuade conversation. Ordered a carne asada burrito (which came with chips), and a large horchata. Service was very quick, polite, and they brought my order right to my table within 10 minutes. The chips were a little bit stale and slightly above room temperature. The horchata was more watery, with less flavor than I prefer. The star of the show, however, was the carne asada. Lightly toasted tortilla on the outside, just the right amounts of ingredients (and guacamole!) inside, and the carne asada was moist, seasoned, and tender- cooked just right! The complimentary salsa bar had a tasty green salsa that balanced the heavier burrito well. All in all, the meal was around $16, and I would definitely return for the carne asada burrito!

My burrito was EXCELLENT! They have a condiments bar for us customers to get our salsas and garnishment together ourselves for togo or for done-in. The parking is HORRIBLE - which I hate because I VERY MUCH liked my food. I did order ahead of time (called it by phone). I thought it would be a quick pick-up but it turned out to be an ordeal. It's a busy street, and the parking in front is for two cars. The street around the corner (also a busy street) has no parking signs.... So I had to keep going g around and around until I found a place. If you are not in a hurry... try it. You will enjoy your food.

Amazing food. Always consistent. Cheese enchiladas are amazing. Chile rellano is super good. I forgot what the tacos are called but they have shredded beef and lettuce and queso fresco that are no joke so good. Salsa is out of this world. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Really good. Nice spot on corner . Parking is tricky because it's on busy intersection and you have to be careful backing out because back of your car will basically few feet from traffic. But I can dig it (with a shovel)

The food here is phenomenal. Tacos al carbon, homemade tortillas, great salsas. Go early, parking is NOT accommodating.

I have been coming to eat here at Tacomiendo for over 10yrs and it's about time that I share my input in regards to my favorite dish (considering that there are a lot of choices that you can eat). I love TACOMIENDO'S Chicken Tostada, the greens , cream, guac , non-spicy salsa and their "fresh" grilled chicken are DA BEST! I always encounter Mr Ismael (I call him the "Big Man") who knows exactly how my "chicken tostada" is prepared. They have the best array of condiments and hot free "frijoles"! Tacomiendo was featured in Los Angeles Times Restaurant Magazine (a few years ago) They do a lot of "take out" orders. (Caveat: place not so big, parking is a pain) "Enjoy your meals at TACOMIENDO!"

I've ordered from Tacomiendo a few times. Based on what I've ordered I give the food 3.5 stars, but the salsa bar gets 4.5 stars, so I'm rounding to 4 stars. Last time I went, I got the taco plate with a side of guacamole. I didn't know until I got home that the tacos did not come with onions. There were onions at the salsa bar, so next time I need to load up on those. For me the green salsa was just the right level, and the marinated carrots were delicious. The guacamole was just okay. Nothing special. The taco plate comes with sour cream and guacamole, so next time there's no need for me to order an extra side of it. A few people have mentioned that the place is small. It is, but there are at least 6 or 7 four person tables, so it is possible to eat in if you like.
