“ This taco shop was authentic and the food was top notch. Pedro shook our hands and said he made my mom’s chili relleno dish himself. I said to my mom, “these are the best rolled tacos I have ever had.” She loved her chili rellenos and was skeptical that anyone could match hers and they did! Be sure they add the fresh tomatoes! They tasted home grown to me! ”
“ I ordered lunch here two days in a row. They have delicious fish tacos, menudo, shrimp burito, California burrito, 7 seas soup, beef burrito. I'll eat here again next time I'm in the area. ”
“ Every time i come to erikas i try something new and im never disappointed. Place is clean and they give a welcoming vibe. Food taste like its home made ”
“ It was a lil loud outside, due to some city workers recycling some bottles. The atmosphere was small, it's a small place, maybe fits 10 with people waiting. I waited in my car after ordering. I ordered a machaca and ham burrito with guacamole and sour cream. As well as a separate machaca burrito for himself. I had been given a business card from a coworker, that had allowed me to get a free crispy taco, so I ordered one for my dad. After ordering, Clerk- gentleman, said it would be about 10 minutes. I went out to wait in my car and enjoy the morning air. ((They're open early)) I looked at my phone to check the time, and only about 7 minutes passed by, so I got out of my car to head to the door. The same gentleman was there, at the door, delivering my food to me. He even said he added one of each of their sauces so my dad could try it, and if I'd need anything else, napkins, etc((I didn't order a drink)). Over all:: delicious food, may have to mix a lil bit of the light red sauce into the dark red, it's a lil liquidy. But that helps the overall flavor of the darker red sauce. 9/10. The crispy taco for dad had cilantro on it, and I didn't know that. He's one of those, "it tastes like soap". Regardless, I will definitely be stopping by again. And, they also label the burritos. No mixups once I got home. _ ”
“ I've been driving past this place for the last 10 years. Finally gave it a try.... now it's one of my favorite spots for Menudo and Michaladas. Fresh salsa and chips on the house. The employees are extremely nice and respectful. ”
