Restaurantji's Hawthorne guide: Where to find the best Mexican flavors.
“What a great place, we flew in from Mexico & we felt like we didn't get enough Mexican food. So we came here & this place did not disappoint. We got chilaquiles, machaca and eggs, and huevos divorciados, and two cafe de hollas ? I got the huevos divorciados & would have liked them a bit spicier, but that's just me. The machaca and eggs might have been a little dry according to my husband, but delicious. The portions are pretty big, we took some chilaquiles home. The place is super welcoming & I loved all of their attention to detail. Great place to enjoy a wonderful breakfast.Vegetarian options: Lacto-ovo vegetarian friendlyWheelchair accessibility: First floor, wide space to maneuver between tables & chairs can be arranged for wheelchairs“
“I have eaten here at least ten times over the years. My favorites are the barbacoa torta and keto tacos.The place is small. I have never eaten there which why atmosphere is only four stars.Service is usually good but there was a couple times they made me wait after calling in an order. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place.“
“Tried this place for the first time on my way back to Long Beach from LAX… this place was great! Friendly service, amazing food, mom & pop atmosphere. All the food was good and I’d definitely go back.Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere“
“First time here. Service was great and food was delicious! I enjoyed an “el diablito” cocktail with my enchiladas. Overall my husband and the other couple we came with had a great time and enjoyed some very delicious food and cocktails. We also liked the plating of the food, it was appealing.“
“The BEAST Mexican restaurant ever. Family owned and operated. Been coming here for my whole life. Salsa veries in spiciness because it is made by hand everyday. The protein is always packed with flavor but not spicy. The burrito Supreme is my favorite, served wet. Please do yourself a favor and give this place a try!“
“I was craving for some tostadas de pulpo, so I google a restaurant and found this one, oh boy, it is good, the abuelito is very helpful and always asking if you're okay or if you need anything else.I highly recommend it ? ? ? ?Parking: Parking in the back“
“Whether it’s a quick order to go, or you plan to stay and relax, perfect spot for Mexican food. Friendly team, who is bilingual and will explain the menu, too. We love the lunch specials. Also, check out the cool mural in the dining area.. Order ahead, order at the front, or stay and relax.“
“Had the waiter paid more attention to his customers than his friend at the bar, I would have given more stars.Requested Coke, got Pepsi. Asked for grilled shrimp, got fried shrimp. Asked to hold the cabbage, guess what ? Tacos arrived covered in cabbage. Food was very good despite server messing up the entire order. Look after your customers not your friends sitting at the bar.“
“If you get anything here, get the Mulita. Get two of them. They're bigger than the size of your face and made with homemade tortillas . Besides the Mulita, I ordered 3 tacos - salsa on the side (too spicy for me). The carne asada was my least favorite, it was not as juicy as I like my steak to be. The shredded beef is so flavorful and juicy! Omg I'm drooling just thinking about it. The adobada was my second favorite meat option. I really want to try more dishes here!“
“Hoshi Moshi is a unique hole-in-the-wall place. They serve multiple different types of food, and everything we had was excellent despite the restaurant being empty. Had a good conversation with the owner and he is very personable. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.“
“Decor is pretty basic, but the food's really good. I had a tender, delicious octopus dish (and we all know how rubbery poorly prepared octopus can be!) with a flavorful sauce. My family each had a different dish, and everyone was happy with the shrimp, the fish filet and the side dishes. Not fancy, but satisfying and tasty.“
“No new fangled technology here for this authentic Mexican food. The servers work hard and do a great job making sure you are taken care of and delivering hot food. If you don’t see something on the menu you want just ask (e.g breakfast burrito).“
