Restaurants in Maywood

“Despite reading some negative reviews from a long time back, I took the gamble of visiting this restaurant and giving it a chance. This was my experience. Service was excellent, food came out quick despite attending a big party celebrating a birthday.

If you're looking for somewhere tasteful, cozy and welcoming that will provide you with quality delicious food and excellent customer service. Look no further if you live or are visiting the South East area in the city of Maywood.

This is my 2nd time visiting this overlooked hidden gem; which I still can't believe it's been here since 2019 and stopped by until now. I have NO regrets visiting and dining at "Rajas con Crema".

This restaurant was welcoming, cozy, ambiance was delightful, customer service was on point!. Thank you for the awesome experience Javier and Staff.

On my first visit, I had their rib eye steak and garlic shrimp with seasoned veggies and mashed potatoes, and delicious warm soft toasted bolillo bread. Also had their (Mollete) which was soft, beans were very homely made and chorizo sprinkled throughout.

Today's visit, I came for breakfast and had their steak and eggs, Cafe de ollá and my partner ordered chilaquiles con carnitas. Both dishes were exquisite, Cafe de Ollá was delicious, customer service was awesome with attention to customer.

I am definitely coming back, not overhyping anything but, usually it's not common or typical to visit a restaurant and have a great all around experience in customer service and food quality tastiness ??.

If you're in the area, definitely check this hidden gem out and give them a try, and try their various delicious dishes, no regrets!. ?”

“We first found Big Al's Pizzeria on IG. All of their pizzas caught our eye because of the unique flavors that they serve. We know that often times when you see something on IG and go experience a place in person it may not be as expected. That was NOT the case with Big Al's Pizzeria. WOW!! Can't even tell you how much they exceeded our expectations when it came to the flavors and textures that they deliver. You can tell that they use High Quality, Fresh Ingredients and take pride in their creations, especially with everything being homemade!! I know a lot of people say that it takes a while to receive their pizza but we can tell you IT IS WORTH THE WAIT AND CALORIES!! The combinations on their pizzas are next level and so fun and unique! The pizza dough has the perfect fluffiness, chewy texture and flavor. The wings WOW! Definitely in our top 5 of favorites! So crispy and flavorful! OOh plus the Brisket Sandwich and the bread they use... ufffff!!! Don't forget about Dessert! Even if you fill up on pizza you better at least take a slice home with you because IT IS WORTH IT!! They are large, creamy, flavorful and just AMAZEBALLS! We got the Tiramisu and it was NEXT LEVEL! Everything is OUT OF THIS WORLD and we can't recommend them enough!”

“The chicken is amazing. Brought out by a great, friendly staff who's always on top of their game. I highly recommend the Nashville. Great food at a reasonable price. Two thumbs up.”

“Compramos menudo para llevar bien servido con mucha carne buena apariencia y sin el tipico olor del menudo hasta que lo probamos ? hot as hell muy enchiloso solo dos adultos pudieron comer y con mucho dolor porque o se les paso de chile o se les callo todo el chile ala pot imposible de comer para los niños y para mi que no como tan picoso. Deven de decir que su versión es muy enchiloso”

“I started eating here many years ago when I lived down the street on the 80's. Food has always been consistent and the counter staff have always been friendly. Whenever I visit Los Angeles, I live in the Bay Area, I must stop here for some Al Pastor. A plate of Al Pastor or in a burrito, El Indio Azteca is my favorite place to eat Al Pastor anywhere on the planet.
They also have good carnita and asada tacos.”

“(Translated by Google) When I tried that delicious shrimp broth, I looked for my mom all over the kitchen of the restaurant because I was sure that she had made it, with a good seasoning and I recommend it.

“Came here to try the pan dulce and I have to say its better than another bakery I go on Gage Ave. I didn’t like the service though, I bought the pastry cone with the bavarian cream inside and the cashier just threw it first in the paper bag and once I got home the cream came out because the way the lady put it in. I would have put that piece of bread on the top and not the bottom of the bag. But the bread is Delicious!”

“I have been coming to this place for years and I quite like it. The only bad thing is when I am served by a waitress who always has a bitter face and the service she provides is terrible. I think that lady should be in the kitchen so she can get bitter on her own and Don't spoil the tasty pupusas, sir, owner of the restaurant, think that you will be losing customers because everything is excellent from there on out.”
