“ Anything walking distance from my house will get a try out of me. The barbecue here is delicious. Very well seasoned and flavorful. The sides were very good. The agua frescas were so good and refreshing also. The service was great! They gave suggestions and explained the menu amazingly. For the price, everything was worth it. One thing I hate is buying barbecue and being disappointed. Daniel's didn't do that at all. ”
“ Great spot to get a burrito. The all meat burritos is bomb . Well worth the $25. If you don't look for it, you will miss it. It is a pop up text next to a market. ”
“ I have eaten there about ten times, I love this place!! Service is always super friendly. Call ahead it can get super busy. ”
“ I have had the all meat breakfast burrito on my radar for a minute. It was pretty damn delicious. I subtracted the ham cause I feel like it really doesn't add much. This burrito is huge and for those saying it's overpriced, you can get $14+ breakfast burritos all over LA that are small for the price. Like Sundays by Wake n Late. This burrito packs a punch. Plenty of tender brisket, breakfast sausage and bacon. I had reservations about their potatoes when I've seen them on Instagram, but they were perfect. Almost like had made tater tot's. Nice crispy outside and creamy inside. I knew it was gonna be good by the number of thick necked men hanging around. Service was quick and easy. Food took less than 5 mins to come out with one order ahead of mine. I will return. ”
“ I saw this on instagram so what the heck gave it a try. It's a pop up type of eatery no where to sit so grab and go. We ordered the breakfast burrito #3. The burrito was 22.00 bucks with tax. I think it weighed two pounds!!! Absolutely delicious!! You will not go away hungry. We were givin hot sauce which is spicey so be careful if hot is not your thing. We were not offered bbq sauce so not sure if they have that. All in all pretty good value for the money. ”
“ So me and the wife went to the long beach location. It was snuggled in the corner of a donut shop parking lot, but don't let that stop you! Get out and buy food..it was so freaking good!. Portion size is huge from tge plates to sandwhichs. Everyone under the tent was super cool, and the wait time wasn't long at all. Ok, ok..the macaroni and cheese was fire!..yes.. it's good. These Latino dudes got it popping!. I'm going back very soon. ”
“ So I had originally saw his post on someone else's OG page.... And then I saw his breakfast burritos. I'm a breakfast burrito guy and trust me..... I don't promote what I don't like and enjoy. Before I could go and visit his spot, I went to an event he was catering, and let me tell you, he was the talk. I walked up to the window and was going to ask for a small plate and he said." Stop, you have to try Dino rib,sausage,..... I'll just load you up", next thing I knew I was enjoying hot delicious plate of heavenly goodness. Thanks for catering and the recommendations. We will be going to your place and supporting your business ”
“ This place is good, but here is real review, remember every part of your restaurant is watched not just the food. I would have given it 5 stars, but.... there were no napkins in the bag besides the 1 that came with the fork,spoon, and knife ( which these utensils are not strong plastic. You need something a little stronger for barbeque, just saying) There were only 2 sauces for the entire meal, which barely was enough. The mac and cheese was a little dry. The kid taking the orders ( which I'm sure is family) was not friendly at all and probably unhappy he had to work on a Saturday. He needs to be a little friendlier and learn to smile. Besides all that ribs were great, fall off the bone. Trip tip could have been a little softer, the loaded beans were great. Great amount of food for the price. ”
“ Bruh.... There's something that makes me extremely happy about finding random businesses. Like, I saw them on Instagram, and I rolled up and saw them cooking under a tent. I was like, " I just know this is gonna be good" While I waited, I had small talk with the two guys working there. Super cool guys. Very personable. I got the brisket grilled cheese that had mac & cheese inside. First of all, that was amazing. Second of all, there was so much food that I was full, brought it home to my boyfriend, he was full, and he had a snack later. Another day I brought my mom for the ribs. And she liked it. That day they were sold out of the brisket and I had another meat in a Hawaiian roll... it was decent, don't get me wrong, but it was not the brisket. I see why they sell out of the brisket. I stole some of my mom's mashed potatoes. They were excellent. ”
