Reviews
Driving from Chino early morning on a whim can be a disaster, especially after circling the seedy streets of Boyle Heights to find parking. Once I parked, it was a short 1 block walk through the shade, stepping over someone sleeping on the sidewalk. Their neighbor Guisados looked appealing, but I continued.
Got there and was served very well. I had a menudo that was perfect. Not an overbearing flavor. Good mix of broth, meat, and hominy. Oregano wasn’t immediately served with it buy I asked and received. My son got the Tapatio Plate. Good chorizo, cheese, nopales, pollo, and beans to accompany the homemade tortillas. We each had a Mexican hot chocolate that was perfect. Total bill a little high at $50 (it was about $6.50 for a tiny side of rice and sour cream). I’d go again.
On one hand, they have a really good salsa. The salsa seems to be made by hand, and not one of those nasty salsas that taste just like a tomato puree. The chips were also nice and crispy and not overly salty or overly greasy.
The service was great, the staff were very attentive and the food did not take long to be served.
My friend got their Huaraches, I myself got the red salsa enchiladas. The huaraches seem to have been made from scratch. Both the al pastor and asada were cooked well. And every topping seemed fresh.
Now, and this is the only reason why I am giving this place a 4 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, the salsa roja used for the enchiladas, lacked a bit of salt. This is not a huge issue since they do provide you with a salt shaker. But, my biggest complaint is in regards to the rice. Unfortunately, although the rice was cooked very nicely, it lacked flavor. But other than that, I have no other complaints.
Please keep in mind that this restaurant is in a really busy street, and parking is very very limited.
They also sell aguas frescas, but I think that they’re horchata and Jamaica aren’t made there. I think those two are store bought.
Would definitely return to try other things.
