Best Mexican burritos out there in LA. I drive out here at least twice a month so I can catch another delicious bite of their bomb tacos and burritos

This review is long overdue, I've been coming to this place for longer than 10 years and every time I come i love it more and more, it hits the spot EVERY SINGLE TIME, It kind of got to the point where I feel guilty if I go eat Mexican food at another place. El sauz was and is and always will be one of the greatest landmarks in Glendale and we are so thankful and happy have such a place in the area 5 stars is not good enough because they deserve 10 at least.

This is the third time I've eaten here. Previously, we sampled various dishes. Including asada tacos. The food is basic. If the word basic now includes being fresh and conveying a comforting feeling of familiarity. The menu is basic. with a variety of burritos, tortas, tacos quesadillas along with asada fries. I love Mexican food because if one of my favorite dishes is on the menu, it will tell me how the rest will taste. They had one of my top 5 favorites... Pastor The hubby and I had Pastor quesadillas. Our friend had a gimongous asada burrito. The pastor is to die for and the asada is badass. The pastor was grilled perfect. Slightly crispy but still juicy and the marinade was able to stand up to being cooked on what I assume was an open flame. It tasted like it was grilled on an open flame. Not sure what kind of cheese but it tasted very much in the Mexican theme so I'm guessing a mix of Cotija and a soft melt like Queso de Oaxaca. They serve their items with two kinds of delicious homemade salsa as well as expected traditional accompaniments like grilled jalapeño peppers, radishes and lemon wedges. If you couldn't tell, I really liked this place!

This cash-only spot is a gem both in price and quality. I got a taco of almost every kind of meat, and each meat was cooked perfectly and uniquely. The chicken had its own flavor and seasoning, as did the carne asada, the cabeza, etc. I also love quesadillas, but I've never been so blown away by a flavorful, meat-filled quesadilla before! For only $10, I definitely got my fill, and it didn't feel like globs of cheese with some lackluster meat pieces strewn about. It was a good balance between onions, cheese, al pastor,... El Suaz Tacos really knows what they're doing. As I was waiting for my food, I overheard some regulars talking about the restaurant, saying they've been going here since childhood, they trust this location, they love the service, and the people know how to cook. This place is their taco home, and I can see why! They have their own parking lot, so parking was easy, and they have 7 tables that seat 4 people each, but most people were just sitting down waiting for their food. ATM machine located inside as well. Really happy that I stumbled upon this place during my quick trip to LA!

Solid tacos for under $2 at this cash only spot. We got the asada, lengua & cabeza. Partner loved the lengua and cabeza and I thoroughly enjoyed both the asada & lengua but preferred the asada. Good salsas & the prices can't be beat. Food came out fast and service was good. Would def stop in again when in the area.

I want to start off with saying i am really picky with mexican food. Having been to mexico few times and it definitely cannot compared This was a cheap taco/ burrito joint near home. It's not the best taco or burrito place you will ever have but it is cheap and cash only and fill your stomach up. Dont forget to bring cash.

Pretty solid Mexican food! They have been at this corner for many many years. I haven't had them in a while but was looking for a good breakfast burrito in the area and I wanted it with carne asada (instead of ham, sausage, or bacon). El Sauz to the rescue and it was just want I wanted! Burrito was pretty filling with a good amount of meat, beans, eggs, potatoes with chopped tomatoes and jalapeños, and cheese. It was pretty evenly divided ingredients wise. I do wish their salsa had a little more flavor but the grilled chiles seranos made up for it! No picture this time because I was hangry BUT I'll def be back and snap a pic!

This place is incredible. I love that I can place my order over the phone, and I do not have to wait. The food is so delicious and clean tasting. I never have a food coma after I eat here. Everything single food item is incredible there and you can't go wrong. They have spicy green and red salsa as well. Definitely check this place out.

We are visiting from out of town and asked the bartender at our hotel in Glendale where to get the best tacos. El Sauz was one of his two recommendations so we decided to give it a try! After a long day at Universal Studios we were definitely hungry but didn't want to eat at the park so we went to El Sauz to pick up food to take back to our room. El Sauz is situated on the corner and has a parking lot for about 20 cars plus local street parking. It's a small place with about 7 tables for dine-in and there were several people eating there when we arrived at about 7 PM on a Sunday. After we ordered we noticed a steady line of customers the whole time we were there but the line moved pretty quick. They only accept cash but have an ATM right there, I had cash but no biggie either way. El Sauz offers tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tortas with the choice of Asada, Al Pastor, Pollo, Cabeza, and Lengua. I wish they also had Chorizo but they do not. They also have Agua Fresca. We ordered a variety of tacos, an Asada Quesadilla and a Pollo Torta and some Jamaica and Horchata. The food came with radishes, chile asados (roasted) jalapeños and lemons (not limes). The tacos had some onions and cilantro but very little so it would be nice if they gave that in a baggie on the side too. I'm sure you can ask. It also came with red and green salsas. The salsas were both great and full of flavor! The tacos were all great, but we liked the Al Pastor the best. The Asada quesadilla was also really good but there were a lot of areas with just tortilla and no meat or cheese...that was all mostly in the middle. My favorite was the torta, it was delicious and had great flavors from the pollo, beans, avocado and all the other condiments! We enjoyed our food and recommend you give this place a try!
