Excellent food here. The chalupa is one of a kind. Very big portions at very reasonable prices in my opinion. I had 2 tacos and a chalupa and I wanted to sleep right away. Very cool servers and great food!

I was craving Menudo and decided to check this place out. Best decision made! I was an early bird so there weren’t many ppl there yet. Got the cafe de olla and menudo with tortillas. I opted to not get pata (feet bone). It was so delicious! Reminded me of my mom’s cooking. The service was also super attentive. It was such a welcomed surprise that the tortillas were handmade.

I found parking right in the front. I wasn’t greeted at the entrance, coming in from the street, (no workers were around and not sure if the entrance is on the back). I did peek in the back and there was a beautiful patio. It was my first time coming here. The staff here on my visit were amicable. I came during lunch and the place was busy. The food was freshly served, handmade tortillas, but took a long wait. I will give this place all the stars because the food was fresh and tasty and waiter had a positive attitude. I will come again during breakfast and update my review.

Alma is the new owner and she is an amazing host. Such a cute authentic Mexican experience with the most beautiful little back covered patio. My girlfriend is vegan and Alma made sure to serve us amazing guacamole and a napoles (cactus) salad that she insisted for her to try… I got birria and we also shared this fantastic cucumber lemonade drink that was so refreshing on a hot day… oh, and the homemade corn tortilla, oh my!

AUTHENTIC Mexican Food. It reminds me of the home-cooking of my grandmother. Unapologetically traditional with some of the best mole and enchiladas I’ve had in Lincoln Heights, let alone Los Angeles.
Cafe de Olla is definitely recommended, always comes with a little cinnamon wafer cookie to dunk in it. Probably my favorite Mexican brunch spot, make sure to eat in the outside patio in the back if it’s not too crowded.

The chilaquiles de mole, Gordita de asada, & cafe de olla were super delicious. Will definitely be back!

Some of the best authentic Mexican food you will find. Every flavor from the coffee, the tortillas by hand, to the meal its self will remind you of eating at your grandmother’s home.

We had a lunch to commemorate my late Uncle who was a frequent patron of La Morenita. Everyone on the restaurant staff came by to give their condolences and took pictures of our family for us. Being from El Paso, Texas, this is definitely one of the best Mexican Restaurants I’ve been to. The hospitality is unmatched! This was my late Uncle’s absolute favorite restaurant.
