  By far the best barbacoa salad I've ever had. Honestly don't think I've ever had one but this one was damn good. I actually came to go next door to the coffee shop for a quick bite in the morning, however I saw this spot, yelped it and saw great reviews and decided to come here. So glad I did!
  
  The salad came with fresh mixed spinach that you can tell was not old or withering. It was topped with the flavorful barbacoa and their special sauce with a side of the Cajun black beans and fried Spanish rice. Their grilled onions and pickled veggies made it all that much better. The sauce really changed the game on this one. Can't wait to come back and try their other items. Especially the cotija tater tots!
  
  By the way, great customer service. Love these spots.

  My husband tried the  carnitas, carne asada and barbacoa tacos with the fried cheese taco shell.
  I had the carnitas bowl with the garlic white beans and the fajitas. Both green and red sauces were flavorful.
  It is a clean and comfortable place. Staff was helpful and courteous. Menu is easy to figure out.          
  Food was incredibly flavorful.

  As soon as I read the L.A.Times food review of Chinito's Tacos, I knew this would be good. I had the carnitas bowl, burnt cheese taco with chicken, and the roasted Brussels sprouts. I took photos of the taco and bowl, so you can see the portions are hearty. The meal was savory, succulent, and damn delicious. The sauces that accompanied the bowl were varied and spicy, so be sure to bring a cool drink to complement that. The order was prepared pretty quickly, no matter how many people are in front of you.
  
  From the moment I walked in, the front counter staff was solicitous and welcoming. I really felt appreciated for having driven from Glendale to try it out.
  
  The only down side isn't the lack of parking. I ended up ordering  to go, given that I was parked alongside the 7-11 store.

  Celebrating National Taco day with my good friend Javier Escobedo owner of friziti.
  Cheese tacos was spectacular. Probably one of the best Vegetarian I've ever had.
  Roaster cauliflower with a sweet sauce and  zucchini squash and caramelized onions.
  High five to the chef. From Los Angeles #1 Taco connoisseur.

  A superb treat worth the journey from wherever you happen to be. Read about Chinito's Tacos in the LA Times and was heading to LA from San Francisco a few days later. Recruited my partner in crime from my childhood to head on over, moments after my plane touched down!  We made a beeline to see Beeline!  
  The garlic roasted Brussels sprouts, seasoned in lime and perfectly roasted, are the best I've ever had. Don't forget to try the fried cheese tacos filled with a succulent filling of your choosing. These are the star of the show.  The dipping sauces are not be missed.
  We met Beeline and Tiffany and they made us feel very welcomed and at home.  
  Quench your thirst with a jamaica lychee beverage that will keep you coming back for more.
  Simply extraordinary. Not to be missed.
