Besides Mexico, this place has the best tacos around at a great price. The most popular ones are the carne asada and tacos al pastor. However, my favorite one is the chicken tacos. They are the simple street tacos with cilantro, onions, and hot sauce. But be careful, the hot sauce is very very spicy. I always get the medium one, which is the green one, and it still burns my mouth. And trust me, I eat lots of really spicy food. The horchata is very tasty here. Although it's a little drive from my hometown, it's definitely worth it for some authentic tacos.

Our Malaysian friends from Orange County drive all the way to this little restaurant to eat. All the different flavors of curry that I have tried are all flavorful. The portion do not look big but always filling. Since the owners are of Chinese descent, some of the dishes are really Chinese dishes with a Southeast Asian flare, which is excellent for my taste buds. My favorite is the fish ball noodle soup and Malaysian spice stir fried veggie. The coconut rice is yummy! Try the passion fruit drink and the lemon & barley drink in the summer. Both will take away your thirst like nothing else.

This restaurant has moved to different locations throughout the years but continues to serve delicious Mexican dishes in El Monte. I recommend the tortas with extra avocado. Their food ranges from tacos to tortas to seafood dishes and more. Try it out if you are in the area.

Oh my gosh, this place is incredible! The tacos burritos everything! It is all authentic. Their soft-tacos are a bit small (small than the ones from taco bell) but I guess that is how it is meant to be. About 5-8 should fill you up ($1 each, which is fine I guess...). Oh and their hot sauce is just amazing!!!
Anyways, you should definately try this place out!! GREAT FOOD!!!!!!!
I can't stress it enough..

I have been enjoying this restaurant since the 1970?s when I worked at a local business in town. We had all of our retirement lunches here. After that I was sold on their friendliness and eagerness to please their customers. I have a lot of great memories here. This is one of the few places left that are actually happy that you are there. The whole staff is very friendly. They really treat you like you are family. Maybe that?s because it is a family owned restaurant (Which is hard to find these days). I love the fact that they have two ways to order your meal. If you are HUNGRY they have a Big Eaters Menu and there?s a Little Eaters menu for the ones that don?t want a huge meal, both of which are filled with original dishes that were started by the founder, Edward. I particularly like steak and they have plenty to choose from. The side dishes are also great. They have quite a selection to choose from. I would truly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a great meal in a friendly and fun atmosphere.

Nice people, clean restaurant. There was plenty for us to do while our kids played in their fun room, which was clean, bright and (surprise) had none of those violent games inside. The food was hot and tasty - and I remembered the Mojo potatoes from when I was a kid... YUM!
Pros: Good Value, Clean, Friendly
Cons: Needs a bit of a spru

This is a neat little place for take out or sit down dim sum for lunch. They have a limited dim sum menu, all the regulars. My favorite is the shiumai. 5 pieces to the order, made with chopped meat, as it should, not with grounded meat. My kids love the pineapple (does not have any pineapple in it, but have a cookie top that cracks like pineapple) bun with sweet filling. My cousin love the pineapple bun with BBQ pork filling. Because they have such high volume, everything is fresh at lunch time. The place is crowded on weekends for lunch. If you go at 6 p.m., all the dim sum are sold at half price. Then, if any is left, the steamed rice with chicken or pork ribs makes a perfect hot, quick & cheap dinner.For dinner, it has a good menu for a sit down meal. I love the brisket in broth. My husband like the fried brisket with curry sauce, very special. The place is not crowded at night usually. The lady owner always has a smile, is polite and works hard to help--a good model. Many of the servers have worked there for many years, a testament that the owner treats them well. They know their stuff and works energetically.

They have the best stone pot rice. You order it right when you get it so you give it enough time to come out with the other dishes. Their milk tea is too sweet for my liking. The Singapore style fried noodle is really good too, with a slight curry powder flavor. One of the best places in Rowland Heights!
