When you're lazy to wait in line at king taco and just want some quick tacos or burrito, give this mom pop shop a try. This place changed owners a couple years back but they're just as good. I stop here once or twice a week for my daily fix of tacos. Prices are cheap and very generous on the portions. Free radishes as well. Carne asada are just right, not too dry or salty. Call ahead before coming. I dont think they have a fix schedule due to Covid. read more

Ordered an asada burrito. Seems like heavily salted ground beef. Maybe to hide the cheap quality and sourness of the meat. Dry beans and rice. Salsa seemed store bought. Sad this place was edible not anymore. $15 for $1 worth of food. read more

Antojitos Mi Amor - Large menudo - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

It's not our first time here, but definitely our last. Purchased Menudo today (Sunday). Tasted old or as if not stored correctly, then overcooked/heated/burnt, with a bitter taste. It was a full loss and thrown away. Can't take the risk with tripe. I believe for 2 large it was $34 or $36. If you decide to try it, make sure to ask for extra chile and for some lime or lemon if you like that in your me u do (they didn't add any to our order). read more

el menudo blanco , es mas chingon !! y la con lentes esta hermosa ..... best service very nice and welcoming definitely recommend

This is a small booth. There was outdoor space for you to sit down and eat. However, most people just came and picked up the food to go. I saw people bring their own pot to pick up to go food. I did my research. It stated that this place has the best menudos in Los Angeles. I purposely came here super early on Sunday, and it was raining to pick up some menudos because people said that there will be a line and menudos tends to sold out early. It was not cheap. I got a large one with corn for $10. I asked for to go and took it home. Unfortunately, the menudos spilled because the to go container material was not strong enough to hold things together. It comes with chili pepper, onion, lime, and cilantro. Taste was decent, and it had some weird after taste as I was eating more and more. A little disappointed actually. I would not want to wake up so early and come line up for menudos next time. Recommend to bring your own container or pot to get menudos to go. Not fun to spill $10 worth of menudo in your car. read more

Does not open at 5am Saturday from my experience. Please change the hours so people don't waste their time.

Love the breakfast burritos. Reasonably priced without shaving on portions. If you blink you may miss it. Small hidden gem.

Food was great: got three tacos: asada (beef), pastor (pork), cabeza (head of the cow), really had the twice-grilled caramelized taste that I remember from Mexico. Radish could have been a little fresher. read more

A little restaurant over in El Monte. Came over for a carne asada but decided I'd love to try a sope so I went with a Jr carne asada burrito. Great choice as it was the size of a regular burrito. Like many burritos with all the fixings, it was a little uneven more meat on one end and more rice on the other. Not a big deal for me because all the ingredients were delicious. The carne asada was rich in flavor as it was perfectly seasoned. The sope had a bit too much lettuce, but the same delicious carne asada. I'm usually a green chili man, but the red one was so good. Pricing is about the same as most other places. I'd definitely recommend it as it hits the spot. read more

stopped here for menudo (which wasn't the greatest) and ordered 4 lengua tacos.The lengua appeared to have some type of wart like looking spots all over it. When I took it back to the window to address the issue I was greeted with an attitude and told "if I don't like, don't eat it!" As well as, "don't ever come back here!" I hate to believe it was my dark complexion that fueled her rage but clearly there was some prejudice vibes given. I paid My full tab and left witho further escalating the situation. I was given disgusting service along with disgusting food at Antojitos Mi Amor and would give this place a NEGATIVE 5 stars if I could. read more

Better than king taco. Better than chiptole. Better than albertos. *0*...... best authentic mexican food i've ever tastedddd ! thanks to the bf:) So we took 2 burritos to go, the bag felt like a baby was inside.. its packed with yummy goodness P: it is a definition of a REAL BURRITO. kek, drooling as i speak.. it is 12:00... midnight cravings are attacking as i type! That reminds me, the place closes early and I always forget to remember the time it closes at -,- cash only btw! Totally worth the heaviness and guilt that ensues after the burrito is demolished.. I've tried the carne asada and the carnitas so far, its so scrumptious! Mom and pop shop i think? read more

This place is supposedly one of the best places for menudo. I was encouraged as I pulled into the parking lot of the shack that they are in and saw many customers. When I saw a guy with his own pot, I was convinced it was legit. I ordered their menudo and asada burrito to go. The burrito was good. They gave an ample amount of meat. The menudo? The soup itself was flavorful. It was full of tripe and hominy. It could've been a winner. But, where was the pata? Did they think that I didn't want the pata? Is the pata by request only? Did they racially profile me and think I didn't want it? Did they forget? Menudo without pata is blasphemy! Unacceptable! I want my pata! read more

5 stars EVERY TIME! This place is the best Mexican place ever!!!!! You ever in the mood for something delicious and fast, this the place to go!!!! read more

Came here to get menudo, tortillas, and rice. Nice little shack with outside seating. The food was really good. Husband really wanted menudo and it did not disappoint. I got rice to go and we got tortillas to take back to Taiwan. ONLY DOWNSIDE is that the place was swarming with bees. And they follow bright colors and sweet food ( I was drinking a Starbucks coffee). I've never been stung before and didn't want to take a risk so I was pretty freaked out. I ended up having to stand far away while my husband finished eating and the owner was swatting them. read more

Good food, great service is my review. Very nice ladies who work here and happy to give them my business every now and again. The food is good, don't get me wrong, it's just not special enough to drive the extra miles with so many amazing Mexican restaurants so much closer to my house. What I really wanted to try was their menudo, but they were already out around mid day Saturday. Good news is, it's likely made fresh daily since they needed to make a new batch for Sunday but the bad news for late risers like me and don't live in the area is that I will likely never taste it :(. I settled for the Carnitas burrito, which was huge and tasted good enough, but Like I said, there are several places closer to me with food just as good. The al pastor taco was the best tasting of the bunch, but yet again a bit of a drive for something I can get closer to home. The ladies gave me plenty of extra salsa and were so very nice about everything I will have to go back and try them again and hopefully get to try their menudo one day. read more

We've been living in El Monte for over 40 years and never had tried this place. This place is not the prettiest, or the most welcoming look. It's a hole in the wall.. So we decided to try it for the first time. And were craving menudo? They actually let my husband try a sample of the menudo juice. ( by the way the young lady had excellent customer service). And the menudo was bomb!!! Totally recommend it. read more

I love family owned businesses they play an important role on Yelp! I came across this place by accident. I was hungry and sitting at a light I looked over and saw this little shack and pulled over. This place was ran by a family a little family which I loved. Parents and siblings were working there together. I got several types of tacos and a torta. The food was really good and so was their salsa. I love me some good salsa!!! The quality was not missing one bit. The reason for the 4 stars is its cash only and the hospitality wasn't there and maybe its because it was being ran by high school boys and they probably didn't feel like being there so I get it. I'm big on hospitality, bathrooms and quality. Overall this place was a good find and most importantly I was happy with my food. read more

I was lured here by the good reviews and a few tasty-looking pictures, but I was ultimately disappointed. Another user's photo of a Ham Torta looked really good, so that's what I ordered. Unfortunately, it was lacking in quality and flavor. I tasted more beans than ham, and the bread was so thin and soft that the whole torta got soggy right away. It was really lacking in flavor. The torta was pretty long, and they didn't even cut it in half. Luckily I had a plastic knife in my car and I was able to cut it in pieces. Considering how soggy the torta was, picking it up as whole wasn't really an option. I really wish it had been toasted more, and I wish it had more ham. The cheese quesadilla I ordered was also a disappointment. Thin, greasy, and soggy. I love when restaurants toast the tortilla enough so there's a little crisp to it, but that did not happen here. The cheese was whatevers. The whole thing was whatevers. I didn't think it even looked good enough to take a pic. lol My husband ordered an Al Pastor taco and I have to say that's the only thing we liked. It had a pretty good flavor. Is the food decent enough to try? I guess so. Will I be back? No. read more

Craving for some menudo? This is the best place to get it!! I've had my fair share of trying menudo in different places, and I swear by the menudo at this restaurant. They give you your money's worth for sure! Also ordered some tacos, and if you're a fan of lengua, then you have to try them here! Not the nicest place, but it's true when they say that the best restaurants are always the hole in the walls! read more

Dry food do not recommend, rather go to King Taco. Customer service not all great they sold me sour cream for my tacos for $1!!! Their menu prices aren't accurate and can use some cleanliness. read more

Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen here in Socal, it's hard to choose and it's impossible to try them all. The main reasons (besides great tacos) I like this place is that it's a very small mom and pop Taco stand, the owners are very friendly even if your not a Spanish speaker and there is only outdoor seating. That's right there are only 2 picnic tables out front and some side counter space. It's great to sit outside even when raining and just enjoy a great Taco. If your into menudo you are going to love this place (only served on weekends). Drive by on a weekend and there's always a line for the menudo. It looks like a shack but its got an A rating so don't be fooled. Mi Amore... read more

Move over King Taco! I just found my new favorite taco joint in El Monte. Well kinda sorta. Food: Tacos were fresh and tasty. I dislike King Taco's excessive use of lime to marinade their carne asada. This place made it perfect. Service: Order at the window and pick your food up. Environment: I'll eat here! Uhh...I have to sit in this nasty bench...okay....flies everywhere...okay....Cadillac Escalade driven by a guy who has his face tatted up....ummm...yeah I think I'm going home. Price: Cheap Can someone tell me why people line up on the weekends in the morning?!?! I see people with their own pots at times too! Food: 5 Service: 4 Environment: 2 Price: 5 read more

I didn't get to try there menudo! But for it to be out by 10 am means it must be really good! I did try there asada torta, tacos, and burritos! All so really good and there meat is so tender and flavorful!! Portions are also very big good to share.. read more

They might not have the biggest menu http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pGlOlYUtDsgQ56z9HMFC_Q?select=A_O7IUB4P_FH66SgorAfqg#5i62ov1izztIRgzZdY1AlA but they do serve up some good food at great prices!. Yet another reason I love these little places they didn't have any breakfast items listed on the menu so asked if they happen to have a breakfast burrito and without hesitation the friendly gentleman said we can make you one, would you like Ham or Chorizo? Uhh do you have Bacon? No, Sorry! OK, I'll take Chorizo, then he proceed to ask what I wanted in it, so below is my custom made breakfast burrito. Breakfast Burrito - Chorizo - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pGlOlYUtDsgQ56z9HMFC_Q?select=H1nTQRrPujQjoZ5Y666P7w#PHLtBinBYZFwIRlIjAD8iA Chorizo/Pork, Eggs, Beans *(refried), Salsa, Cheese, Onions and Cilantro... A couple minutes later my burrito was ready and although it was Baconless it was a beautiful sight http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pGlOlYUtDsgQ56z9HMFC_Q?select=H1nTQRrPujQjoZ5Y666P7w#qanBMlRnXiBOTgm_cVChag the ratio of chorizo to egg was spot on to me, just a touch of jack cheese, onion and cilantro was a good add, the frijoles refritos were real good unfortunately it was just a small amount, I wish their were more! Salsa - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pGlOlYUtDsgQ56z9HMFC_Q?select=H1nTQRrPujQjoZ5Y666P7w#H1nTQRrPujQjoZ5Y666P7w Although it had salsa in the burrito, I had to have more the stuff is pretty good. Bottom line NO BACON, but it was a real good Breakfast...... a place I'll definitely return to try the Tacos! read more

This place was recommended by Philip L. He claimed that they have huge burritos for $5. So one day we started getting lunch here. And the burrito totally exceeded my expectations. The burrito is huge. I usually get the burrito with the lengua(cow tongue). Add a little bit of hot sauce, and we are in business! Great place to grab some cheap mexican food like tacos or burritos. Their menu is very limited, but it gets the job done. read more

Good stuff! I should've ordered better, so I feel bad not giving Antojitos additional stars. I ordered some sort of a carne asada plate. It was good, but in retrospect, I should've ventured into tastier territory by trying a menudo or something, or at least a burrito. The meat plate was good, nothing spectacular, but it did its duty. If it's a sunny day, position yourself under the canopy. read more

I stopped here because I had heard this place was small but very busy. Usually places that are small and are very busy is because they tend to focus more on the quality rather than to own a big place and not provide good quality. Well this place amazed me. The first thing that made me feel good was looking at the menu and I wanted something from there but that I cloud not eat, the owners went out of they way to give me almost an identical meal with all the ingredients I asked for. I not only felt special but I enjoyed every bite of my meal. Considering that I asked for something special the price was even better I wasn't over charged for my special I was treated like any other client. I give this place my approval. A++++ Great Food Great Taste Good Price Nice Owners I will definitely come back to this little place. read more

Antojitos Mi Amor - Torta with Ham, Mozzarella Cheese, Beans, Tomatoes, Mayonnaise and their specialty Salsas - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

The menu does not state the prices, but I believe their prices are reasonable. The menudo was $9 for a large and the carne asada wet burrito was $6.49. Menudo -After having gone nearly two weeks of not eating any meat, I was really craving menudo. The last time I had it was nearly 15 years ago, so I don't really know how it compares with other restaurants. There are huge chunks of tripe and hominy. It also comes with a side of onions, cilantro, lime, and 4 corn tortillas. I remember that 15 years ago I drank a oily red soup with tons of tripe and beef parts, and I have been craving that soup ever since. I am not sure if menudo was that kind of soup, but in my opinion, this soup did not bring back those delicious memories. Carne asada wet burrito- there was no way I could finish the burrito by myself. The burrito takes up about half the size of a to go box. Although it was a wet burrito, they did not seem to put much sauce. The inside of the burrito was quite bland, but it earned it's redemption when mixed in with the mild green chile sauce. The carne asada was a bit dry, and it would have been nice if I had more green chile sauce. Overall, I would order burritos here, but maybe not the menudo. Maybe menudo just isn't for me. read more
