  • 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.
  • 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)... 👍👍👍👍👍

    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.

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

    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.

    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. 😁
  • 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 😎🎭✌️

    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!
  • I love to watch how good is cooked. I love Mexican food, it’s just my favorite and I wanna make some now
  • 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.

    Let's all appreciate the time, patience, hard work and dedication that these awesome people do to bring good food for the masses.🙏🏻 Now where's my taquitos cause this looks delicious , and I'm hungry!😋
  • 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.
  • I love these taquitos and didn’t know this is what it takes. I appreciate them more now.

    Angelinos know where it's at when it comes to taquitos and Cielito Lindo is what it's at! The taquitos are so good that the restaurant features the recipes on their site knowing that it will not reduce their business one bit. Advice—Go early. Once the lunch hour hour hits the line gets long and there are very few tables at the restaurant.
  • I love this Cielito Lindo! I can't get enough of those taquitos and that salsa it's even better when the taquitos are in the salsa, it's one of a kind. When I go back home I always need to eat there. Placita Olvera is part of my childhood and I loved getting my cucumber with lime, salt and chilito wrapped in plastic wrap, 😋 mmm unpeeling it and taking that first bite was incredible. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
