Best cookies in downtown LA, I've never had the food tho or been here in my life. My uncle just brings us the cookies.
This place is delicious! If you like real authentic poblano Mexican dish . Come here ! Everything is made fresh and super good . You won't be disappointed. Prices are fair and service is spectacular! The place is small and limited parking, but that is Not a problem for me when food, service and prices are to die for . I had a camita with milanesa and chiles chipotles , a Taco grande witch is a full plate and a memela bandera (two sauces )
Came here for my birthday with my in laws and it was way better than I expected ! It's a family of women running the restaurant. I love family restaurants and this was a great place to come for lunch. They enjoy it here and they wanted me to try their food from Puebla Mexico. They make all their bread and tortillas fresh in the restaurant. Their quesadillas are huge! It's made with black corn and they don't skimp on the cheese. I got the flor de calabaza which is zucchini blossoms. They ran out of the mushroom one I wanted to try, but this was just as good. Nothing was too salty but definitely flavorful. I also got the cemita de milanesa and they did not skimp out on the avocado inside the sandwich. My goodness. It's a hole in a wall kind of restaurant but their food is very good. They only have a few tables in there so I hope you're lucky to get one. Definitely give this a try if you're in the area! I'd come back.
The wait was a bit long BUT the food is delicious. The mole has a great flavor it's not bitter or too sweet it's perfect. The cemita is packed ! I really enjoyed it. I like that they have purple tortillas .
I had a very good meal, my tacos were tasty I truly appreciate that thy took time to make sure my food was to me liking. I will definitely try it again and explore the menu a little more.
