This is the spot for real Mexican food prepared in authentic style and served just right, hot at the table. Family restaurant where tastiness of food matters and service is great. Get their tropical iced tea to compliment the meal. You'll enjoy. ...

Please don't be discouraged for the location. They have valet parking at weekends and the BEST Best Chile en Nogada!! Remember the famous movie called "Como Agua para Chocolate" where they have Chile en Nogada, well here you find them at its best setting! Too bad that I couldn't get the recipe!!!
As a Mexican American I know what is really a good Mexican food and here Ramiro and Jaime really know what they are doing! Couple years ago I visit for the first time with friends and they were very pleased with the food and service. Love to hear that they don't serve burritos and tacos which is most of the non-Latinos know about the Mexican cuisine. The only thing that I don't like is that they extended the restaurant area and a crafts store was added. I am not against our Mexican traditions but when I want to eat I don't want to be distract by the anything else. Love the wall with the pottery pieces and during my last visited I inquired about a painting that was on display but too bad it was out of my reach. I have stopped multiple times to get Enchiladas al Mole which are delicious too! Once I saw a television anchorman there and this is a place to find a well diverse clientele. The Chefs are very charming and once I saw one that waved at me from another table. they serve Cetto Wines which are from Baja. Very acceptable. Try el café de Oya with a cinnamon touch. Delicious.. I am hungry now.. Enjoy Amigos !

A bakery like similar to this is yet to be created. I actually don't think is possible to even come close.
The guaba and cheese is my favorite, some of my co-workers love the potato balls, chorizo and eggs breakfast sandwich is delicious, plantine balls= rellenitos are also a must.

This place will have some dishes you are familiar with and some not so much. It's all good. Clean, good service and a nice outdoor dining patio makes this place a standout in the neighborhood. Try the sweat crepe, it's delicious with the strawberries, bananas, and is it nutella , and whipped cream. mmmm.

Their pupusas revueltas are super yummy, cheese pupusas are the best!! they are just the right size. They have good desert too, I loved their canoas. Also their horchata is delish!!
The food is good, but they take quite some time to get your order ready, so go when you are not dying of hunger.

Juicy BBQ
Reviewed By EL_GQ - Los Angeles
My boyfriend and I were told about this resturant last week and decided to check it out. Upon walking in it's a bit dark but it offers a modern spacious look with a wine bar to the left where one can catch a drink and watch a game. The menu offers may delicious plates and the prices are really affordable. We ordered chicken dumplings, Mahi Mahi, Rainbow Trout and finished off with Bread & Butter Pudding. Our food was delicious and you can tell the ingredients used were excellent. We will definitely be back.

I really enjoyed coming here. Stepping in, it is very reminiscent of a Starbucks - but serving Mexican drinks. Even the counters/colors looked so much like Starbucks. My husband had been raving about this place for years, telling me that there is this delicious horchata coffee that he tried years ago but couldn't find the address.
Finally, he yelped "horchata coffee and found it!" Yey. The facility is very clean. There is plenty of parking outside. The tiling of the bathroom, again, looks like a Starbucks bathroom. lol. The staff was very nice and gave us a description of each different coffee.
I got the honey coffee. It was okay. I know that they put a lot of time and care into selecting each coffee because next to the coffee menu, there is a vivid description of each bean. The horchata coffee was of course delicious. It was a perfect blend of coffee and horchata where it tasted milky. I totally enjoyed it. I wish that more people knew about this place because there appears to be predominately one ethnicity. If people in the community knew how awesome this shop is like, I'm sure business would be booming even more than it is now.

I am an early morning regular customer, the majority of the time the service is great, sometimes I do wish their service was faster since I'm usually rushing to work. One of the morning girl's, Marcy, is awesome. I walk in and she greets me by my name and knows exactly what I want, its nice to have such good customer service. Sadly I can't say the same about the other employees, they should probably get some pointers from her

We've always found the food to be tasty, but the service here is excellent. The manager is not only visible, but is actively making sure that everything is operating just the way it should. It shows in just how well everyone is working cooperatively.
