Best fish tacos in LA
by nicolewest at Citysearch
Armando's fish tacos remind me of the baja style fish tacos I used to get while living in San Diego. There's something different in this batter - it's crispy, flaky and deliciously savory! Freshest, tastiest fish tacos I've had since my San Diego days. Only thing missing is the tangy white sauce. Will be back again... and again.... and again...
- Pros: Delicious

Good, Not Great
by exilekiss at Citysearch
I tried Armando's based on the positive reviews. I went 3 times to give it a fair shake, and:
* Armando's is Good, but Not Great.
The simple things are the best here: Their Chips & Salsa (free) are fantastic. The Jamaica is the best I've ever had (and that's saying a lot).
However, their meats, or rather the marinade and flavoring of the meats, left a lot to be desired. Most of the time they were all very bland, as if to allow different sauces to be poured on quickly to "flavor" it to a certain style. The Carnitas (pork) I had was too greasy and dripping with fat. The Lengua was tender, but not flavorful.
But the SIZE of the burritos was awesome! For $5.95, it was worth every penny! You come to Armando's for stuffing yourself on authentic Mexican food that's "solid" but just not "great."
- Pros: Solid Mexican food, Cheap
- Cons: Not flavorful enough, Too greasy at times
