Guisados - Burbank

I’ve been eating at Guisados for years. I started eating at the one in Sunset in Echo Park and loved it. I’ve eaten now twice at the Burbank location and it’s fairly tasty food without the soul it used to have. The employees at Sunset were into what they were doing and I could taste it. Burbank lacks this. This is now a pretty big chain, did they forget where they started? Is much of the food now made in commissary and not on location? In any event it’s a pity. Judging by how empty it was I’m not the only one.

Really liked the Chicharron taco in green sauce with handmade tortillas. Not a fan of cheese tamales and the Bistec tacos... would definitely return to taste the rest. Only issue is the parking.

Delicious food! The Chorizo Quesadilla was amazing. Highly recommend. Reasonable prices and good size portions.

Amazing place amazing food!!!! ??? The best guisado tacos!!! ???? I was born in Mexico and this tacos are amazing. I felt in Mexico!! ??? estos si son tacos!!!! ????

34$ FOR NOT ALOT YOU WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR PARKING. The staff were very nice and helpful. The sampler plate is not even worth it. I came here from a tiktok recommendation. Everyone was saying the sampler was 6$ 7$ for that price I'd say absolutely worth it. However the sampler plate is actually 13$ with tax. And for what you get Meh. You get 6 mini tacos on a plate. They are about 2 bites each. Like if you're trying the sampler as like a cheap meal alternative, ABSOLUTELY NOT worth it. Which I saw alot of people online boasting it for. On its own it would not fill you up itd be more of a quick snack. if you're getting it to try everything, then sure. Which Is why I got it because I tend to be very picky about my food and like to give stuff a chance before fully committing. I GOT THE OG SAMPLER (they have 3 kinds) My biggest issue with the sampler is that literally everything tasted the exact same. I would not be able to tell you just looking or even tasting it what each item was supposed to be. Honestly I wouldn't really order a full size of any if the stuff on the OG sampler. The other sampler would be the vegan options and choose your own mix match. For the mix and match one , they basically restrict you from actually trying all of the ones you'd actually probably would like more. So your basically forced to pick the OG which really wasn't anything special or the vegan option. I also got 2 fish tacos which are 5$ each. The size of the regular tacos I would say is worth the price each taco. However The flavor was lacking so much. It felt like they rely on the sauce to make it taste like anything. Which is really dull and boring. the regular tacos aren't bad over all. I just would have liked a little more flavor personally. The hibiscus drink was absolutely amazing and so was the Lemon Limaeade. For as good as the drinks were , the lacking impression of the food leaves so much to be desired. Also side note. If your like me and like to try new spots Tiktok is a great place to find cool spots in LA for good eats. However Just be aware that alot of creators , even the smaller ones are paid or compensated with free gifts for positive reviews and their time and creativity to make content ads that to the untrained eye may not look like a targeted advertisement. So just be aware.
