Why Cook When Altadena Fries?

So how about Mota's? In business since 2001, Mota’s Mexican Restaurant dishes up all the usual suspects – burritos, tacos, quesadillas – but also some seafood entrees as well. And let’s just say, the portions aren’t stingy.
One possibility is the pork carnitas and rice burrito with hot salsa. The hot salsa lives up to its reputation. Perhaps even exceeds its reputation.

Eat-in or take-out; fast and very friendly counter-service.
