    My friend invited me to a new place. We ordered the Cali Bowl. Rice, beans, veggies, steak. Side of chips and super fresh salsa. I had the peach lemonade tasted very good. The service was excellent and they had buy one entree and get one free. So 2 drinks and two steak bowls was 30!!! The bowl was huge and will have half tomorrow at home. The taste was excellent. The place was clean neat and had beautiful color Mexican tiles. Great service , we got free refill on the salsa and chips.

    Mothers Day Brunch was delicious & so fresh. Many options to choose from. My daughters & I were in food heaven! Loved the live music as well. And your servers were so sweet & attentive.

    Chilaquiles was outstanding! Breakfast served all day

    If you're local to the area, you would know that this new restaurant replaced Rosarito Grill. It's typically rare, nigh impossible, to be pleasantly surprised when you find out a local spot you used to frequent has been replaced - but Amigas Cafe has proven to be the exception. Now La Habra has no shortage of Mexican food, but good Mexican food is a different story. I was fortunate enough to be served by the owner (and learned that she also runs another establishment in the area). She was pleasant and struck up conversation whilst I looked over the menu and it became very apparent that she cares greatly about the food she serves, noting how she updated the recipes from the prior restaurant. The owner shared more of her personal story and the common theme I saw was resilience. With her experience and dedication to what comes out the kitchen, I expect this cafe to become a new local landmark quite quickly. I've been a handful of times now having had the Chilaquiles and the Breakfast burrito, both of which were delicious! I'll be coming by more in the future - can't wait to try the other dishes.

    Lena, you're the best at taking care of business. This is the best place for chile relleno, real homestyle cooking that tastes like home."

    Our new local favorite! My wife just discovered Amigas and we have been coming often. I've been exploring the menu and everything is delicious! The chile verde, in all of the various delivery systems, is fantastic. Try everything! It is all wonderful!

    My daughter and I were looking for a place to have breakfast- we stumbled across this place- it's right at the corner of First and Whittier Blvd in Whittier. In the shopping center. We walked in and immediately greeted by a waiter- he was very kind and welcoming. I ordered cafe de olla which was very delicious- my daughter ordered chorizo and egg and I had chilequilles with eggs over easy- it was delicious- we asked the waiter how long they've been open and he mentioned a few months however it is the same owner from the green chile in La Habra- however the food will be a bit different- more of the El Paso flavor. I liked that the place was clean- loved the decor and my daughter and I spent quality time a delicious breakfast and the price was average.

    New restaurant in the area, so I went to go try it out. Had a breakfast special burrito $10. Nice size burrito, heavy after 2 bites, this is a great tasting burrito. I would eat here again. No, problem. Other people in the restaurant seem to be enjoying their breakfast plates. Also I would highly recommend this. Try the burrito 10 bucks can't go wrong cheaper than McDonald's.

    Rajas

    Stopped in for dinner on what I think was one of their first days open. Parking was plentiful and convenient. We were greeted and welcomed in immediately. We were hungry, so everything sounded good. Our server was so helpful when it came to offering suggestions or answering any questions we had about the menu. We kinda ordered a little bit of everything and were really happy with every item we ordered. The Rajas were incredible, and it will probably end up being one of those must have items whenever we come. Their red salsa was amazing too, so much flavor and I loved the chunkiness which was the perfect addition to my shredded roast beef taco. I was really happy with our experience here. I was looking over their breakfast menu and will definitely be back soon!

    Shrimp taco
    Sandra N.

    I came in and thought I'd give this place a try since under new ownership. I was very disappointed because the chili on the shrimp tacos was so hot. I couldn't even eat it. I had to wipe off all the chili from the shrimps. I ordered two tacos, rice and beans and it came out to $24. I did call in about it and they said that others had also complained about the heat level. I'll try it out one more time and hope that I just got one bad experience. Hope next dish I'll enjoy more or ask for no chili, the way it's advertised on the menu says "red sauce". It should read shrimp diablo

However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too. It is very loud here with a full restaurant of diners, the live DJ and football games going with loud cheering fans, so if you have sensitive hearing, bring some ear plugs.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.
