“ I had the pozole and my husband had the tacos dorados and both food were great. I don't think it's pricey being the amount of food given and that its a hardy home made type of food. Great taste will be eating here when I am over on this side of LA county. ”
“ Looking for typical Mexican food, I came across this place online. The reviews were good so I decided to give it a try.. I m pleased to share that my experience was good! The service is great and so is the food. My boyfriend got the chicken mole enchiladas which were delicious and I got the green chilaquiles with eggs. Bomb!! I highly recommend. ”
“ Orderd the molcajete mixto through Doordash. First time I tried this place. OMG!!! My tastebuds are dancing with culinary delight!!! The shrimp is amazingly delicious, the chorizo is just as I remember growing up in my pueblito, the carne asada and chicken are off the chart tasty. I have lived in LA for decades, always looking for authentic places that reflect el sabor, el olir, y el color de mi Mexico lindo y querido. In that time I have found a very short list of dining locations, as my standards are pretty high. Today I am adding this place to the too of my list. Felicidades a la familia and know I will be back again and again going forward. In these tough times it is critically important that we ensure family owned restaurants in our barrio make it through beyond the covid era. God bless you and know I will do my part to spread the word about your culinary excellence ”
“ This place has been a staple of the community my entire life. It was a bustling business when I was a kid. I'm happy to see it's still open but it's not thriving like before. The parking lot was dark. I'm not 100% sure if we're allowed to park in the back. The sign said to park across the street at Wengers. I loved to see the two women near the door, preparing food. They should showcase themselves making tortillas. The restaurant is a little tattered and outdated. There was not much thought put into the decor. A bunch of random, cheap framed posters line the walls. The hallway that might have lead to the restroom was unlit. I ordered Camarones Mojo de ajo. My food was delicious! My shrimp were butterflied and grilled. The salad was fresh and crispy. My husband got the Carnitas plate. The meat was tender and juicy. I would go order carnitas by the pound if they offered it that way. Yum!!! I didn't like how my Michelada was served. They brought me a huge mug halfway full. I don't think there was one full beer in it. I had to order another beer to add to the tomato juice they served me. It didn't taste good after that. We paid with a credit card. I would have tipped them, but they didn't bring me a pen to add a tip, or to sign the receipt. This place needs a little more love. I hope the owners can manage to upgrade soon so they can attract more customers and keep these doors open another 6 decades. They should wear uniforms, light up the windows and the parking lot, and choose a theme for the decor. ”
