Excellent quac. Just that hole in the wall type you find and it’s stellar in your belly. Had a perfect chili rellano and a yummy creamy dessert I wish I had right now.

The food was the best I’ve had in a long time. The flavors were authentic. Their salsa was not the typical onion, cilantro, tomatoes with some kinda liquid in it. It was a spicey, flavorful chili salsa served with thin chips with the right amount of salt. I had a chili relleno smothered in cheese and a red sauce and a taco served with delicious beans and rice. Again, authentic flavors, not “rice-a-roni” and “rosarita” beans. The waitress was so friendly and genuine, taking the time to have a conversation and told us a little history of the place. It wasn’t too crowded when my husband and I came around 7:00pm but I’ve seen it crowded and remarked we have to go one day. That day came and we will definitely be returning. I want to go for breakfast next. I wish I took pictures of our food but just got a pic of the quaintness of the restaurant.

Excellent service, yummy food, and cozy. Husband had the carnitas plate. I had the taco/enchilada/Chile relleno combo plate. It’s a nice neighborhood spot in Lakewood.

Considering how popular this place has been over the years, it was surprising to see it empty. My friend and I walked into a warm and pretty stuffy restaurant.

A very comfy local Mexican restaurant. Family run. Service always good. Authentic Mexican food served in good portions. Their soup specials are always a must. A definite go to spot.

Food was flavored well. Each dish was cooked to order. Portion sizes were filling (there were left overs). Prices were very affordable. Service was friendly and attentive. We’ve found a new go-to!

If you’re looking for a place that makes you feel like ur at abulieta’s house this is ur spot. The Chile verde burrito was flavorful. The green sauce alone was to die for with no spice at all but it still gave the homemade tortilla such a pleasant flavor. The meat inside of the Chile verde burrito was actually moist, different from what most places do when they over cook it. So glad I found this place right in our neighborhood.

I love the atmosphere and family oriented and run restaurant. They prepare the food just as you would waiting for grandma to get done with some really delicious food. It’s fairly quick though for what is expected. The family is very pleasant and professional, they serve drinks and chips with salsa before your food and the salsa is very good traditional and hotter on some days. It was a really great lunch we had and I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot.

Small Mexican restaurant, food is good. The only downside is they are not capable of handling a large number of people at times
