    This was my first time here. The tacos were exceptional, especially the pulpo. It was perfectly cooked, and served with this richly savory squid ink sofrito. This is a must try, even if you are not an octopus fan. The shrimp cocktail was a close second, absolutely packed with big juicy shrimp. I liked that it was thicker than your average seafood cocktail, with ketchup already mixed in. The tostadas were a little underwhelming to be honest. Over salted, and the pieces of uni were skimpy. Still a great lunch overall!

    I think this is worth it. Look how delicious the food is and the ambiance is great.

    I took my mom about a month or so ago without knowing that the restaurant was closed due to renovation and it was only the truck outside. I had been once before (to the restaurant) and had hyped it up. I was stoked to take her. I was a little disappointed that it was just the lunch truck but we ordered anyway.

    We got a taco de pulpo, large cóctel mixto, smoked kanpachi tostada, and I think one more item that I can’t remember plus a lemonade and a large sparkling water and it came out to $70+ with tip. I saw my mom was eating slow and not really into her food so I asked what was wrong and she said that her kanpachi tostada was really salty, so I try it and it tastes like someone DUMPED salt into it. The taco was good but the rest was underwhelming. Overall it was just not worth the price tag at all which made me so sad cuz when I went the first time it was amazing. I don’t think I’d go back.

    Fuck I’ve been looking for a good octopus taco in LA for a minute! Is there a variety of octopus tacos?

    Has anyone ever had Tacos de pulpo Enchilado anywhere in LA? That’s the main dish I’ve been in search of since having it in Rosarito. I hate driving all the way to Mexico for it

    This place is amazing! One of my favorite lunch spots in LA. Next time try the smoked fish tacos, they are insanely good.
