“Unfortunately the meat was very chunky, didn’t have enough seasoning, had to add some lime at home to make up for the extensive cilantro and onion added to it”
Great food!. And can’t beat the price. The medium green salsa 🔥.
Visited Iztatl a couple of months ago and it was worth a visit or two. I got their chorizo torta dinner with some tea.
I have catered a handful of events from Iztatl and their food is ALWAYSdl delicious.
The food is fresh and delicious, full of flavor.The cook and front staff provides great customer service.
Hours need to be updated.
This place is right up the street from my home, so we were ecstatic to find something so close.
Food: Put 2 stars only because my bf liked his chicken tacos. I ordered Al pastor tacos and they were awful.

“Visited Iztatl a couple of months ago and it was worth a visit or two.”
Visited Iztatl a couple of months ago and it was worth a visit or two. I got their chorizo torta dinner with some tea. Service was exceptional and the employee at the location couldn’t have been nicer. The portion of the food is very filling and great if you are really hungry. The taste of the torta itself was great, but could use a bit more flavor. The salsas on the side were great as a companion alongside the rice and beans. I would definitely come back and try something else from the menu and recommend checking it out.

“Great casual Mexican restaurant.”
Great casual Mexican restaurant. My only disappointment is that they have Fox News on the TV.

Just discovered this gem in my neighborhood, and if you want fresh, healthy, and excellent service, I highly recommend it! The taco dinner was so fresh and full of amazing flavor. The chicken was tender and seasoned perfectly! The chicken burrito was also full of delicious flavor, and the beans and rice were perfectly cooked as well. Highly, highly recommend 👌

“Loved these steak tacos.”
Loved these steak tacos! Meat was tender and well seasoned, not chewy or with any fat trimmings. The green and red sauces, however, rival my mom's! Very savory sauces with mild to medium spiciness, not overwhelming, an excellent addition to the tacos. The complementary chips were well cooked, golden and crispy was a plus! The price was decent and well deserved, and service was friendly. Overall a great experience for those wishing to take a break from their errands on an off day. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area!

“One of the best carne asada burritos I have had in a very long time.”
One of the best carne asada burritos I have had in a very long time. Very affordable prices and also convenient location with just a short walk away from the blue line station.

“Food is so good!!!”
Food is so good!!!! Burritos & tortas amazing! Even the chips and salsa are the bomb... Parking isn't great but worth walking a block for sure for.

“Food was delicious, hot and reasonably priced.”
Food was delicious, hot and reasonably priced. It's amazing what a difference it makes putting the cheese on the tortilla side of the burrito instead of cold in the middle of it. Shrimp taco was amazing as well. I will definitely go back. Parking is non-existent unless you're willing to walk a quarter of a block. I think that's the only bad thing I can say about this place and that's not even their fault.
