A real authentic Mexican hole in the wall. A real diner atmosphere inside with porcelain objects on every space available. Friendly service. It may not look inviting from the outside ( windows and doors barred up) but quaint inside. It may not be for everyone, but we'll be back. Mainly pork dishes.

The only drawback is they only accept cash.No digital payments..Other than that,this place is one of my all time favorites..The staff,and owners are the absolute best...I'd go every month,if I was closer.It has that down home vibe to it.

I stumbled into this no‑frills taco counter known for only one dish: red‑ or green‑sauce stewed pork tacos. It’s cash‑only and closes by 2 pm, so I arrived early—and they ran out of sauce before noon! The tortillas smelled impossibly fresh, and I added crispy chicharrones for that extra crunch. The beans were silky and well seasoned without being overly salty. For such simple food, it packed a punch—the locals practically treat it like a secret. Just make sure you bring cash

I've been going here since I was a small child. I know the whole family, and they treat you just like that, family. I am not giving them high ratings for this, but wow! The food has always made this small Mexican restaurant the best place to go to. The Embarradas are just out of this world. Even better and so glad Mari brought them back are the Gorditas. You may also choose a burrito from the menu with the ingredients below. There is Chicharron (green or red chile). The beef also (green or red chile) Saturday's Menudo. There are delicious combination plates. I highly recommend this establishment, and one last thing the prices are within anyone's reach. A little bit of Michoacan, Mexico in Atwater Village. You won't regret the trip here.
Hole in the wall type of place. Not very eye appealing so to speak. Simple menu with burritos, plates and taquitos. I tried the pork Chile Verde with beans burrito. The tortilla was a fresh homemade style, which was good. Although the filling was missing something, maybe a little more chile Verde. Seems like a local favorite type of spot. It's worth a try.

It’s literally walking into abuelitas house. Home made tortillas are amazing! Embarradas chicharrones are great. Beans are refried in manteca and the rice is perfect.

10/25/24: Excellent authentic Mexican that specializes in embarradas and gorditas. I had the embarrada with chicarron and chile verde. The inside is refried beans, chiles, and pork that is partly soft and partly crispy (how they do the chicarron here, it seems to vary in Mexico). Family owned place for 60 years. The outside isn't particularly inviting with a solid metal door but the owner's daughter is friendly!
