Alma's Place

We tried Alma’s after a review from Tik Tok and it did not disappoint! I love that the restaurant is family owned. The server was so helpful and amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection. The macaroni was delicious. I wasn’t the only one who thought so because my husband and I bought the last two. I was craving more 🤤. The chicken was crispy and to perfection as well. Even though the chicken and the seasoning of the chicken was good, as a Louisiana woman I wish the cook was a little more heavy handed with the chicken seasoning, but that could be a matter of preference. The strawberry cake and the tropical koolaid were sweet treats. I like how the koolaid was the right amount of sweet and not watery or diabetic coma like. I also had the red beans. The flavor in the seasoning was a nice take on what I’m use red beans tasting like. Because I was so full, I saved some of the red beans for the next day, and they were even better than the first day.The greens and the cabbage didn’t have much flavor which is why the review is a 4 and not a 5. Overall when I visit Compton again, Alma’s is definitely a first stop!

Food is good when in stock

Small menu. But they flavors pack a punch. My favorite is, Mac&Cheese, potatoe salad, pork chops, and the fish.

The greens and yams were not fully cooked. When I called to complain the restaurant stated this is how they prepare them. Never had crunchy greens and yams!! This place also gave me the large hormone injected chicken wings!!

Had great experience will be coming back soon 😁

Thank you Ms. Alma for the donated cookies to the kids at our “Kids For Christmas 2024” event at Carver Park, Compton, Ca in December!

This was like pulling up to your grandma house the place is lovely the staff is too.
I got the shrimp and grits the whole thing was balanced. cheese, shrimp, bell peppers, onion and spices. A side of eggs completed it. For dinner I got turkey chops red beans n rice, greens, mac n cheese, and yams. I feel sleep in my chair with a full belly like a grandpa? it was a truly great experience even the customers feel like cousins. Ill be back Sundays at least twice a month got my next order written down. Go by and show your love. Don't sleep on the drinks and deserts. Truly food for your soul.
