They also have *bolillo con mantequilla🤤, upon request, i did not see it on the menu. The price is resanoble. The only thing is that it is very small, so it fills up fast on Sundays! I would recomend to go early morning on weekends. 😀“

The food is authentic from Jalisco! I loved it so much I had to come back and try their breakfast torta! No mater what you get, you will be impressed by the quality and authentic taste!

The pressure washer is not strong and they have missing tire cleaner that is broken. If they get it fixed that would be a game changer. I would appreciate if they do take action to fix the car wash equipment. Also they should add debit card to accept payment they accept coins only.“

“I try not to review any business unless there are multiple visits, at least three, this is to reduce the possibility of catching a business on one of their less than stellar days. This place however moved me to write this review after two visits, this came to be because after commenting with some of my neighbors about this place (we live a few blocks away from the restaurant) they had the same experiences so here is the end result, a well deserved five star review. My family and neighbors agree that the food is delicious and the service warm and friendly, on top of that there are many items on the menu under $10.00 , which means that a couple can easily have a home styled meal with drinks (agua fresca) for under $30.00 including tip! Give them a try, I don't believe you will be disappointed.“

“Definitely the best spot for fresh seafood if you’re in the Downey/South Gate area and surrounding cities. I was looking for some shrimp for some aguachiles to make at home and came across this place on Google. I stopped by and took a box of their 13/15 shrimp. Very fresh shrimp, it was already peeled and deveined, perfect for the aguachiles! They also had all the vegetables needed to make my aguachiles so that saved me a trip to the supermarket, also very fresh vegetables! I grabbed a special they have going of 2 mojarras and a pound of shrimp al mojo de ajo to try out their food at home and everything was delicious! Very fresh shrimp with great quality taste and their food was delicious..I’ll be back soon for more!“

“Don’t let the appearance fool you. This is one of the best places for tamales in LA, which is saying something. Don’t go if you’re looking for boutique, but if you want the classic favorites, pollo, queso, puerca, this place is first rate. And their elote tamales are The Best! You can order ahead if you want, by why bother? I walked in on Christmas Eve morning and, yeah, it took a half hour before I walked out with my order, but any other day, it’s in and out, and even if you have to wait, there’s that great smell from the kitchen and you can see in where there are a couple of dozen industrial sized steamers chugging away, which is almost worth a visit even if you’re not buying dinner.“
