Love this place!!! Feel right at home! Vendors are friendly and if you shop around you can find very good prices. The food is great. Come with the whole family and with plenty of time. Bring the little ones so they can learn about their culture and their people. In a time of online shopping and big retailers, it is a blessing to have places like this still open. Please support your local vendors, you might pay a little more but you will contribute to extending this wonderful experience for future generations. Also, be mindful, these vendors probably were closed during covid but still had to pay for their spaces, so please don't be a lemon.
Love the food at this place and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Ordered a steak cooked to perfection and all the food very yummy, would definitely come back to this location❤️
Love this place!!! All the Mexican Items that are good for gifts and the ingredients that you can buy to make your own food at home. I drive 5 hours to get the delicious drinks
Parking on the weekends is a little crazy but your trip will ne worth it if you want a little taste of Mexico. You can get esquites (corn in a cup), raspados (shaved ice), aguas frescas (natural fruit juice water), mexican food, and seafood. They also have a bakery, cold cuts and meats, desserts, plus other items you won't find anywhere else. We ate at a place called El Gallito Restaurante and the gorditas here are bomb, the guacamole is made to order, and the chips and salsa are very good. However, a very tiny shrimp and fish taco are $3.59 which is a total disappointment. You're better off eating something else. But if you want to see the live Mariachi go to the restaurant upstairs, I highly recommend it
Food was okay, not a lot of flavor on foods we got. Plus our orders took long to receive, other tables who got there after us received their food before us and by the time we got ours it was cold. Service was slow, waitress didn't come to check on us at all, and forgot part of our order which she tried charging us for. Over priced IMO for mediocre mexican food.
It is a special place in the heart of East Los.
You can find from fresh tortillas, and bakery to shoes medicinal herbs. Alongside traditional Mexican food, seafood, Central American delicacies. You can also enjoy Life Mariachis. It is an incredible place.
Highly disappointed to be honest, food looks amazing, but the flavor was not good at all. All the meats had a tangy lime flavor which was very off putting. The price was honestly ridiculous, for two fluatas, 3 taquitos, one gordita, a quesadilla and two enchiladas de mole, we ended up paying $63. I honestly wouldn’t mind the price if the food was delicious but it honestly wasn’t. Also server was not the nicest.
I was raised in Mexico and was pleasently surprised with the taste and quality becaie this is Perhaps one of the best Mexican Restaurants in California. Their menudo was amazing, and the service was superb. I also enjoyed the live music which was also very good quality.
The one thing that really tops it off, that really drives it home is the price. The price is quite decent for the high quality that you get.
On personal note. It has a very nostalgic vibe to it. It somehow feels like a restaurant that my parents would take me to when I was a child,(except they never did because we were poor.)
