    My friend and I checked out Antojitos Como en Casa on a Sunday morning for brunch. The dining room was completely full which is a great sign--very popular among locals. However, the waiters were swamped and took three asks to finally get the menu and water. I highly recommend checking out the Plato Huatesco. The arrachera asada is legit! Very well marinated and tender. The quesadilla is also delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Mexican food. I will come back hopefully on a less busy day.

    Chilaquiles
    David R.

    On our way to Arizona we stopped here for a quick lunch based on the good Yelp reviews, and the reviews were right. This is a great 5 star casual restaurant to stop by in El Centro. I had the chilaquiles with 2 eggs over easy and they were the best I have had. I think what really made it great was the home made chips which stayed crispy and delicious throughout the meal. Usually chips in chilat most places quickly get soggy but these stayed pretty crisp I think because they were home made thick chips which tasted like they were just made. My wife and son had the enchiladas (one had the green sauce and the other the red) and both really enjoyed those as well. Service was pretty good as well, though it seems that they all take turns coming by the tables. We started with one person who took the order, but then had 2 or 3 others people either bringing the dishes or the check so you just have to ask any of the servers around you if you need something, but they are nice and responded quickly to anything we needed.

    Mixiote de borrego (Sheep Slow Coked), marinated tortillas, cafe de olla ( coffee with brown sugar and hint of cinnamon)

    Amazing food great prize and THE TASTE ON GRANDMAS COOKING!!!!!!! Food 10/10, service prompt, friendly, accommodating and filled with gratitude, ambiance has good musics, great lighting, and configurations for all party sizes. The mixiote was so good the meat fell right off the bones. Coffee made me think I was back in Mexico enjoying the good life. And as far as my families plates the Menudo on point and eggs were finely cooked with great quality ingredients. Definitely recommend to anyone in el centro or passing by like we were on our trip from San Diego to Yuma.

    El sazón de el restaurante fue muy de agrada mio y de mi familia. Definitivamente volveriamos a ir si tenemos un antojo de comida mexicana. El unico detalle fue que la carne no tenía practicamente nada de sabor. Pero volveria sin duda. Muy agradable servicio

    Enchilada

    We came in here late evening and were graciously accommodated. Our server was fantastic. We had the cheese enchiladas which were quite good. The kids had quesadilla which was also tasty. They even sent out a nice desert from the chef for the kids. Very kind. It is right next to the courthouse which makes for a nice after dinner stroll.

    Let me just say that if you are craving some Mexican food and you are from out of town, this is the right spot. Feels cozy and in my opinion very authentic location. Lets talk about the food now. Food tasted as authentic as can be. However, the rice is not to my liking at all. Other than that all was tasty. Food came out warm, not alot of waiting. We did visit on a Tuesday morning. To the local crowd; let's support local businesses!

    Chicken enfriojoladas plate

    Coworkers and I stopped by for a late lunch before driving back to San Diego and the main seating area was full! It was a good sign that this restaurant was popular and turned out good food as well. They were out of agua fresca but the ice teas we ordered instead almost had to be two handed as they were so large. Food was authentic and filling. Chicken enfriojoladas were just like an enchilada but covered with a bean sauce. The green pozoles, only served Thursday's, were a hearty stew that my coworkers raved about. Now that we are traveling again this will be one of our go to options on the way to/from Mexicali.

    Bean Sope
    Marc B.

    Stopped in for a quick snack, and it was very pleased. They were out of the Tlacoyos so I got a bean Sope. Not much for presentation, but the taste is really all that matters. Lettuce, tomato, onions and cotija cheese on top, and beans, sour cream and special sauce in the crusted tortilla. Yum! Next time I'll try to get the potato Tlacoyos.

    The food is average. I didn't take a picture of my chilaquiles plate but the tortillas were soggy, not enough salsa. Very disappointing.

    Today I returned to the wonderful D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer in El Centro where my epic hiking…read moreexpedition ended in failure, disappointment, and embarrassment a few weeks ago. I intended to travel the entire 2,600-mile length of the Pacific Crest Trail, but my adventure unceremoniously ended in El Centro under a tree about 60 miles east of my starting point. The paramedics told me that hiking is not for everyone. After a desperate two weeks of hiking with little food and water through BLM land tracks, old service roads, and desert washes, as best I can recall, I finally set up camp in El Centro under a farmer's tree near his washing line. Soon after the farmer called the police about my campfire, the authorities and my ex-wife found me in a state of delerium hosting a tea party under a large avocado tree wearing the farmer's wife's plus size nightgown while serving "cups of chai tea" to a sizable pile of rotten avocados and a rusty shovel that I thought was "Jan" from those Toyota commercials. My first real meal after being found by the authorities and my ex-wife was at D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer. D'Poly was the perfect welcome back to civilization as it has a spectacular menu full of delicious Mexican cuisine like street tacos, flautas, sopes and empanadas. The Lineman burrito is my absolute favorite. And they have a wonderful breakfast menu! It's fast casual dining, but it has a sort of classic and moody vibe that gives off a more upscale feel. Love it! A wonderful place to break free of your delusions. My ex-wife tried to tell me that hiking is not for everyone. Thankfully, the paramedics found my emergency contact list and phoned my ex-wife who showed up and broke me out of my stupor by making me drop my emotional support avocado, taking me by the shoulders and shaking me vigorously while yelling "it's over, it's over!" Ironically, that was the same way she told me we were getting divorced. I'm not a quitter, so it takes a while for me to give up. I've since tried many items on the D'Poly menu and everything is exceptional, though I do avoid adding avocado. It's just too soon. Thank you D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer! Five stars.

The food took about 15 minutes to come out (we visited on a Friday evening). Everything was hot, tasted freshly made and were a good portion. They didn't have a few items on the menu including beans. The reason for the lower rating was related to their service. This is a big factor in whether someone will come back and should be a high priority for any establishment. The waitress staff didn't give off a welcoming feeling that you would expect from a restaurant wanting to build their clients. They were not rude or inattentive, but rather made you feel they were annoyed by having customers present. I don't believe it was intentional or that they realized it but if this were improved, I would definitely have rated this higher. The restaurant is small but I felt it was the right size with nice decor. Music was playing, for background, at the right level. I'll end my review by mentioning that their prices were very reasonable. Our bill came out to just over $40 for a party of four. We liked the food and will probably eat it again; however, we may consider takeout.
