Really good. We had el pastor and carne asada tacos. Really good prices. Will definitely eat here again.

The best Mexican food in town. Service is amazing! We go a lot when we're in the mood for some Mexican food.

Service is always quick and easy, and the food is always great! Plenty of tables to eat inside, and if you take it home, it's always still warm!

Delicious food their tacos are my go too authenticity Best in SCV Small hole in wall in downtown newhall

Wow! I knew coming in that the food was gonna be good but wow, it definitely exceeded expectations! We ordered Carnitas taco, Asada taco, Pastor taco, Pollo taco and Horchata. Honestly all of them are so good, it's very comparable to the experience I get when I have food truck tacos. I usually prefer food truck tacos because there's something magical about it, in comparison to restaurant tacos. So the fact that I have the same experience eating tacos here at this restaurant, says a lot about how good their tacos are. I did plan on taking photos, but we literally inhaled the food, we were done before I remember to take it. As for the horchata, it was nice and creamy. I did find it more milky compared to other horchatas. Overall I highly recommend this place if you're craving for some tacos. The service was great and the pricing was very good. I highly recommend!

I recently moved into the neighborhood from Los Angeles and I've been on a LONG hunt for my New Mexican joint... thankfully El Pariente did not disappoint like so many other spots in the area. I went on a Saturday night and the place was decently packed, some people were even eating outside the bench. This wasn't a bother because I was planning to to-go my order anyways. Despite being fairly busy, my order only took around 10-15 minutes to prepare. I ordered a carne asada burrito, and assortment of Al pastor, lengua, buche, carne asada tacos. I think their "standout"meat is their carne asada and Al pastor. I also got buche and lengua, but I think I will pass on those next time as I didn't enjoy it very much (as a lengua and buche lover) Their burrito was probably my favorite. The rice in the burrito tasted so warm and fresh which was so pleasantly surprising because sometimes the rice in burritos are quite hard from sitting out for so long. Ps: beware! Their (red) hot sauce is ACTUALLY quite spicy! I LOVE spicy food so it wasn't a big deal but I was just surprised because I know some red sauces at Mexican restaurants don't tend to be too spicy

As soon as I entered I noticed it was a very hole in the wall type pace. There was line to order (same line for phone orders) so that's a good sign right? What we ordered: Tacos: Lengua Pastor Cabeza Carne asada burrito Horchata I'd come back to order everything again except for the lengua tacos, those were a little underwhelming. Cabeza, pastor and carne asada I'd order again. Horchata drink probably not, I've had better.

Very delicious taco spot! It's very hard to miss if you don't know about it. It's always the small local Mexican restaurants that make the best food! The ladies at the front took our order quick and gave us extra salsa :)) It's a small place, with a few tables but they do pick up orders and take out! 10/10
