Order the food to go.

Definitely not the place you want to dine in. This is a fast food joint with great food but poor customer service. My family goes every Sunday and orders carnitas and flour tortillas to go. The carnitas are cooked in lard, have just the right amount of salt, and I think they add an orange and maybe brown sugar when cooking cause there's just a little sweetness and stickyness to them... Not... more

Sweet Tamales are really good but the the beef ones are very grissely. The customers service needs to improve, nobody is friendly at all.

Pros

Cons

- bad customer service, very grissely meat

Best green chile burritos around

I would recommend that if you are passing through the lovely city of San Fernando nthat you visit this small but wonderful place. It may not be the best for sitting there and eating, but the taste of the food will more then make up for the lack of accomadations. So when you stop by, make sure you order your burrito wet.

Pros

+ Great food

Cons

- Below average service

Best chicken toco in town

Well, I see how people beef the place about service and the attitude of people that work there, but that's not why you go here. You go there for just about the most authentic Mexican food you can find in a fast food setting. The toco shells are hand made and cooked to a slight crunch which makes the toco's unreal. The chicken is all white meat and very tender, the beef is better than average,... more

I'm not so impressed

So after reading the reviews here I set off for Carillo's and was looking forward to an amazing lunch. I ordered the George Lopez Special, and it was seriously huge. It was a good deal for your buck and it was ok, but there was nothing particularly special about it. The tortilla was alright, but other than that I might has well have ordered an extra large Taco Bell Burrito. I got the Carne... more

Exellent Tamales & Tortillas

WOW!!! The food was fantastic. The fresh/homemade taste of the tortillas and tamales is outstanding. The Burritos are big but trust me, you'll will finish it. The people are friendly. It is a little whole in the wall but you have to admit, "sometimes they're better than big stuffy restaurants. This place is fast, great tasing and reasonable prices.

Pros

+ fast, tasty, price

Cons

Best Tamales, Tortillas and Carnitas

This is the absolute best place to go for tortillas, tamales and carnitas. The people are nice and friendly. We have been going since I was small and I still can't get enough. Try it once and you'll be hooked!!

Love Me Tender

Carrillo's fresh handmade tortillas and tender carnitas is truly the BEST in the Valley. I don't know if it was the hot salsa or just the moist, delicious taste that got me all teared up. Honest people! Eat this food!!!

Pros

+ Very Reasonable, Take Out, Outstanding!

Great Tortillas & Meats

We have been going to Carillo's for many years, both San Fernando as well as Canoga Park locations. One of the few places that still make their tortillas completely by hand - NO presses for the dough to flatten it out - all hand made. The toasty/corn taste is worth the wait - we suggest you stop in and pick up some FRESH tortillas as well as prepared carnitas for a treat. Nice people too.

Sooooo Good...

This is the best place for menudo, homemade tortillas, tamales and burritos. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I can't get enough. You have to try the Jorge Lopez special it's huge!! Al Gore visited when he was in town.
