Great homemade mexican food. Chef Juanita's special highly recommended is you can deal with the heat! Cute over the top decoration, cozy atmosphere. Well be back here some other time für sure!
Hands down some of the most delicious food I've had in a long time. Pobalno De Enchilada Chicken. Loved dining inside this restaurant too. Thanks for a great meal and a great experience.
Great ambiance and very colorful. The food and service are respectable. I appreciate having the opportunity to eat and enjoy lunch here. I'm sure it's more busy during the weekends but I went on a calm friday afternoon.
Such a great restaurant to come and eat that make hand made tortillas, the food is super delicious and always have enough to share with another person. Always hot. Gives you a side soup to eat as you wait, they also give you some good chips and salsa to eat as well. The salsa is kind of spicy though. There is no refills on drinks but all the drinks are great. Staff are nice and kind and always check up on you a lot if you need anything. The place is beautiful and welcoming with so much decoration. I love comingbhere at night for dim it looks and so romantic with hardly any lights. Definitely come here.
Delicious food and wonderful service. Their enchiladas are incredible. Will be coming back!! Might become my favorite Mexican restaurant in LA
I wish I'd tried this spot sooner! It's a little hard to notice from the street but inside it is super cute with paintings, lights and decorations everywhere. The service is friendly and it feels like you're at home. Very comfortable and low key. The food is well priced and delicious. We were greeted with chips and shared the azteca molcajete for two which came with soups and individual plates of rice and beans along with the molcajete of meats, panela, and nopales with a delicious sauce. The tortillas were delicious, we had corn, but there is a choice of flour as well. It was a really good value for $41.95 considering we both left full and with left overs. We had beer and it seems like it's very/wine, no spirits. The only thing that would make it better is some music, but there are musicians that come through and ask if you'd like something to be played. We were happy to check it out and support a local business with almost 50 years! I will be back.
