I have been coming here for the past 14 + years. I always enjoy the food every time. Sorry about the photo but yeah I ate all of my BREAKFAST!

Dude.. I had this place starred on my Google Maps for whatever reason, so when I was in the area, I tried it. It was worth it. Driving from Chino early morning on a whim can be a disaster, especially after circling the seedy streets of Boyle Heights to find parking. Once I parked, it was a short 1 block walk through the shade, stepping over someone sleeping on the sidewalk. Their neighbor Guisados looked appealing, but I continued. Got there and was served very well. I had a menudo that was perfect. Not an overbearing flavor. Good mix of broth, meat, and hominy. Oregano wasn't immediately served with it buy I asked and received. My son got the Tapatio Plate. Good chorizo, cheese, nopales, pollo, and beans to accompany the homemade tortillas. We each had a Mexican hot chocolate that was perfect. Total bill a little high at $50 (it was about $6.50 for a tiny side of rice and sour cream). I'd go again.

This place is amazing! There a bunch of Mexican restaurants on Cesar Chavez but this place is the best from all. It definitely has the feel of a hole In the wall, but the taste will blow you away. I recommend chilaquiles con huevo and the memela. The chilaquiles may be a little spicy for some, just be aware. The prices are modest and the portions are generous. The only downside is the location. Being on Cesar Chavez there is never any parking and you may have to park at least 3-4 blocks away. But it is worth it! Try it, you will not be disappointed!

A hole in the wall family run Mexican restaurant that offers flavorful dishes without breaking the bank. If you want homestyle cooking this is the place to go.

Small family owned business. The server and waitress were pleasant. I had the birria de chivo and my boyfriend the enchiladas de pollo en salsa roja. Both plates were delicious, you can taste that everything was made fm scratch, none of that canned stuff. Their salsa was bomb too.

So fantastic. I got chilaquiles, it was the best hang over comfort food. I love supporting my Latina Mami, they are the best. They treated me like I was a cousin visiting.

This was our first visit, but it won't be our last! Menudo available 7 days a week! O enjoyed the chilaquiles. Small and intimate space. Love the framed puzzles on the wall!

Very good I been coming here since I was 5 I stop coming after a while but they still remembered me I would recommend only problem it is kind of small but the food is very good I would give it a 5/5 stars

I have been here several times and have had a great experience every time. The waitresses have always been nice and courteous, I jave never seen one of them have a bad day, they always have a smile on their face. The food is cooked to order and the tortillas are hand made. The food is delicious and the prices are fair. I recommend the Caldo de Res and their Cafe de oya

Ive only tried one thing and I'm giving it 5 stars because not everywhere they sell Carne en su Jugo. if your asking your self "what's that" TRY IT. Last I tried this soup that was well done was in Jalisco Mexico, They nailed it.. hand made tortias, great salsa. This place is hides right behind a big tree. I've been here 5 times all for the same dish and everytime they get it right. Keep up the great work 👍

What a hole in the wall. Easily overlooked due to the location, I can't believe I've lived near this restaurant my whole life, and just tried it this month. It is super delicious, traditional Mexican dishes with its own kick to have it stand out from other restaurants you may have been to. Service, staff, and food were great!! Chilaquiles stood out for me, will definitely be coming back as a regular now.

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this place lol. On one hand, they have a really good salsa. The salsa seems to be made by hand, and not one of those nasty salsas that taste just like a tomato puree. The chips were also nice and crispy and not overly salty or overly greasy. The service was great, the staff were very attentive and the food did not take long to be served. My friend got their Huaraches, I myself got the red salsa enchiladas. The huaraches seem to have been made from scratch. Both the al pastor and asada were cooked well. And every topping seemed fresh. Now, and this is the only reason why I am giving this place a 4 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, the salsa roja used for the enchiladas, lacked a bit of salt. This is not a huge issue since they do provide you with a salt shaker. But, my biggest complaint is in regards to the rice. Unfortunately, although the rice was cooked very nicely, it lacked flavor. But other than that, I have no other complaints. Please keep in mind that this restaurant is in a really busy street, and parking is very very limited. They also sell aguas frescas, but I think that they're horchata and Jamaica aren't made there. I think those two are store bought. Would definitely return to try other things.

Had lunch here on Thursday I got the chilaquiles 9/10. Husband got the birria w/rice and beans 5/10, he wasn't satisfied with the fatty meat. MIL got a fried mojarra 8/10, was on the small side. Waitress was super friendly and made sure we had tortillas and our drinks. Definitely recommend for a quiet and home feel atmosphere.
