El Kacheton

Best authentic Mexican restaurant in the city! Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that they have awesome prices too! The place is a little small if you’re eating in, but that’s about it… very deelish… check ‘em out!

Terrible food. Terrible service. Avoid at all cost.

How long have I search for the perfect mom and pops mexican joint? Ever since I left LA, I’ve been trying to find you EL KACHETON!
Pros
Chips — Warm and crispy, with their home made salsa? match made in heaven.
Salsa — Choose between green and red, regardless of what you choose, it’s got the right amount of heat and taste. I think they sprinkled «crack» on them because it’s so addicting.
Burritos — probably around 2lbs, I’m pretty big dude, but i can’t even finish their burrito, their carne asada is marinated and cook to perfection, with perfect combination of fresh lettuce, tomato and sour cream? It’s ORGASMIC.
Tacos — carne asada taco for $ 1.25? come on, where can you get a taco with that price? portions are huge, i get full with just 4 tacos. Again, the red salsa is the key. it brings heat and compliments the meat, cilantro and onions perfectly.
Also, every table has a roll of paper towels. Good thing because i was sweating after i downed half ketchup bottle of red salsa.
and big thing of pickled jalapenos and carrots on every table? come on! I LOVE YOU!
Cons — Not really bad if you ask me but for some people these might be a turn-​off
It’s pretty small restaurant, so big group is not recomended. tiny bathroom (unisex) but it was very clean. décor is non existent. might have few flies flying around but it’s mom/​pop joint. so «shut up, sit down, enjoy your whooping portions of food and get out»
