I ordered a molcajete, but the meat was a little dry, the only thing I liked was the sauce and the corn tortillas, the chicken also seemed dry to me! Not one to go back to!Parking: I think there is enough parking.

The waiter is despotic, he brought my one-year-old son and he just stared at us as we asked something and answered rudely, he wouldn't come back.

Love coming here! We've been coming here for years now! The Molcajete and the chicken tacos are the way to go! The food is flavored very well and the salsas are ! It's worth the money!

Terrible service. The waiter, who apparently is the owner, treated us as if he were doing us a favor. Very despotic. I can't comment on the food because we didn't even get to order it.

This restaurant is my favorite to go eat at , the vibe is very vintage and mexican inspired . The food is absolutely amazing and it seems like everything is made by hand . I recommend the Molcate and the chilaquiles! The old man working there is very friendly and talkative , and works fast . 5/5 stars

Good food whe you order tortilla is $3 for 3 tortillas
Delicious food, great taste. Starting with avocado salsa & chips ??2nd, I had the chilaquiles rojos with carne asada & scrambled eggs, ??yummy. Very flavorful ? The tamarindo water was very fresh, not overly sweet. The red spicy salsa is wowser spicy, but very well made. Te saca mas ambre ?? Service and cook which are the owners are very nice n friendly. Dont believe other reviews. Some people just like to complain....Try it out and be wowed. Good calm atmosphere n the sazon is 100 ??? Try them out n you'll keep going back. I will..Thank u lorena & husband...?????Parking: Lotta space, street or lot in front.

Like someone said, in the previous post, I wish there was a zero*option. When we first walked in there was not a greeting from the waiter just a stare down no smile. My husband went to the restroom to wash his hands when I heard the waiter, talking to the cook in Spanish say that we're only there just to use the restroom. As I waited for my husband to come back I had an Erie feeling I looked like over to the rude waiter and noticed him just glaring at me and made me feel uncomfortable. At that point that's when I felt that we needed to leave. I told him we would be leaving. He went to the back door locked it and said we cannot go out that way. For my understanding I don't think either one of the doors should be locked during business hours. As we proceeded to walk out, he asked me if I spoke Spanish I said no very little. I then proceeded to ask him if he speaks English? He said no this is a Mexican restaurant we don't have to. I do understand Spanish and speak a little bit, so that's how I know how he was talking about us. The worst part is that a nice family was walking in. He did not greet them one of their children went to the restroom and he accused him of just going in there and using the restroom. The reason we know this is because they stopped us as we were leaving and told us this horrible story and experience they had please don't go to this place it's overpriced and very rude, male waiter. The only thing that came out good for this experience is that we were led to a great hole in the wall restaurant in El Monte not far from a horrible restaurant we just left. I am going to post a picture of the good restaurant we found after our horrible experience. Once again, the card pictured below is a great place to go try it.

We decided to eat at this restaurant after running some errands since it was close to where we had parked our car. We went inside and had a drink in our hand. The waiter was extremely rude to us and told us we couldn't come in with them. I understand that many restaurants do this but the way he told us was terrible. We gave up the drinks and after sitting down his attitude was still so rude we just couldn't take it and we left with out ordering.
