I’m an old white guy that grew up in Salinas, Salad Bowl Of The World, when it was much smaller than it is now. I had the privilege of eating Mexican food from an early age. At the time I didn’t realize how much time and effort went into preparing such delicious dishes. Always loved Taquitos but I must admit, seeing those refried beans being added to the plate really brought back memories of delicious food.

This place holds a special place in my heart. Starting eating here in the late 70s with my Dad. It was his favorite, also my first experience with real spice of that unbelievable quacamole sauce. I will never and I mean never travel to losangeles without stopping in to get the best Taquitos in the world. This is true example of real love of cooking.

My Mom took me and my siblings there starting in 1968! Best taquitos ever - and the scent of all that cooking - incredible!

Wow, I didn't know they made those Taquitos from scratch. So Many Memories I have of that place since I was a Child (And I'm 54yrs. Old already)... 👍👍👍👍👍

This the first meal we have when arriving to LA and the last meal before leaving. I have traveled across the globe and have yet to find a better meal. Muchas gracias mi amigos!

I was dating a man in LA back in 1975 that took me to Olvera Street to get Taquitos and I have been hooked on them ever since. My son always says to me when we eat at a Mexican restaurant "Mom, that is all you ever order!" Oh well, I love them, that's why I always order them. 😁

The Mexican food in L.A. is the greatest. I grew up in East L.A.
I hated the place but I do miss the cuisine!

[HellosunshineUSA]

I love to watch how good is cooked.

I love Mexican food, it’s just my favorite and I wanna make some now

This is like homemade just in production mode. Simple ingredients, labor intensive and love. Mis respetos. I live in Fontana and will definitely check it out.

The real deal!! hats off to those hard working employees!!!!

[stevenotero]

Simple recipe. Labor intensive. Detailed. Worth it. It's the reason why the taquitos are so good and famous. A testament to how long they've been doing it. PREVECHO. CALIFORNIA LOVE 😎🎭✌️

Cielito Lindo is great. There are several other taquito stands at Olvera Street with different guacamole sauces. Olvera Street has some great eateries including La Luz del Dia at the beginning of the street with its signature carnitas, nopalitos, champurrado and tortillas de mano.

This place is amazing. Been going here for years. The green/Guac sauce is so good I can literally drink it.

[tgurlamber]

OMG!! It has been decades since I been there. No joke people. Must try. ❤

[DistractedDaisy]

I love these taquitos and didn’t know this is what it takes. I appreciate them more now.

[christophere.herbert]

As a child my dad would take me to this Taquitos Restaurant, where I grew to love these rolled tacos, along with the green sauce and cheese. And now 60 years later, this is where I go if ever near LA, besides Knott's Berry Farm Chicken Dinner and any Bob's Big Boy.

Came to see food but stayed because of the amount of work that went into the process. In world of speed and automation, it was a blessing to see people connected to the food. Also people have work because the owners dont want to skip steps and worry about money.

[richardmartinez]

I grew up on them, friday and sat. Coming from O.C. to L.A. can not find no other better!! Thank You 😊😊
