    This establishment used to be in the city of commerce. This new location is bigger and great for special events, perhaps a birthday or anniversary party. They do not have their liquor license just yet. They will be serving pulque soon. Food was good and you get large portions. The boy enjoyed plain asada and al pastor tacos. They have al pastor without onions or pineapple just like the boy likes it. My favorite part of the lambs head was the brains it had the most flavor. I ordered the Gordoniz plate, it also had a lot of flavor and paired well with the salsa it comes with. The girl tried huitlacoche tacos which she enjoyed. Will be back.

    Lamb barbacoa
    Nick C.

    This marvel of a restaurant just recently opened in my childhood neighborhood and I couldn't be happier for the community. The diversity in flavors and tradition in preparation is unmatched by anything in the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and offered pro tips and suggestions for ordering and consuming. We were waited on deftly and never wanted for anything. I highly suggest the lamb barbacoa (cabeza) and you should absolutely get the flautas. The huitlacoche quesataco is incredible and should be tried by all! All of their salsas have their own unique flavor and offer so much to the dishes they're intended for. Can't wait to come back and pig (lamb) out again!

    Agua de tamarindo - DELICIOUS!

    I returned to try more things. The last couple visits I've tried their tacos. I've tried tacos de cabeza, pancita, asada and a quesataco de barbacoa (lamb). It was hit or miss, honestly. My least favorites were the cabeza and asada. The cabeza had a really strong game flavor. It almost tasted like blood or like ... bone marrow. I didn't enjoy it. The asada was kind of tough and had a strong beef flavor. The pancita was maybe my favorite. I liked that it was tender and a little bit sweet. I'll say that by itself it had an off aftertaste I didn't really like but with onion, cilantro, lime and salsa it was very good. It covered the aftertaste. The quesataco de barbacoa was excellent. It was a nice big size. I loved the crispy cheese. The barbacoa was very tender and juicy with great flavor. Oh, I also had an agua fresca de tamarindo and that was EXCELLENT. It was refreshing, made fresh, tart and sweet but not overly sweet. Perfect drink. I do still intend on returning to try more things. Their menu is unique for sure and I appreciate their food is fresh and I can tell their food is the real deal. I'm just not a fan of those very gamey flavors some of the meats have. Oh! I LOVE their consomé with the garbanzo beans. It's DELICIOUS and hot.

    Wow! That's the first word that comes to mine when I think about Aquí Es Texcoco. this restaurant is a gem to Whittier and has only been around for a few months. my boyfriend and I came in very hungry and left very satisfied. We ordered enough food for a small family four but it was just us two. The service was immediate and the place was empty. The environment was great for family's and very welcoming.

    Barbacoa enchiladas in mole sauce
    Paul E.

    I heard about Aqui es Texcoco listening to a podcast with Jonathan Gold, where he raved about the restorative effects of the restaurant's lamb barbacoa. So I made the drive out from Whittier to this new-ish branch of the small restaurant chain for a comforting lunch on a gloomy, rainy SoCal Friday. This restaurant is large with plenty of seats, suitable for large groups and parties. Since I was only picking up to-go, I immediately dove into the menu looking for something to bring home and share with my wife. I ordered two items: the barbacoa enchilada in mole sauce and one quesataco with huitlacoche. Both were delicious and survived the ride home, though I imaging the quesataco would be better if eaten at the restaurant before it loses its crunch. The enchiladas were delicious in the mole, and I can't imagine having the enchiladas in any other way. If I had to order again, however, I probably would want to sit down in the restaurant and have the family size barbacoa or the quail, which look great in photos!

    Costilla, cabeza yum :)

    All I got to say is I've never heard of a Mexican place where they don't serve alcohol. Food was ok, service not the best.

    Best barbacoa de borrego in town. The meat is juicy and savory. The tortillas are made just right and the horchata is really refreshing!

The sourdough bread they bring to the table was soft and really delicious. I had the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, which was very good. My friends shared the Short Rib Pappardelle, which was a generous portion for two people. We didn't realize it was prepared right in front of you, so getting to watch it being made was such a special treat! The only small downside was that my friends felt the Short Rib Pappardelle needed a little more flavor. They ended up adding some salt to bring out the taste. I have to give a huge shoutout to our waiter! He overheard us saying happy birthday to our friend, and without us even asking, he brought her a complimentary dessert. Such a thoughtful gesture and definitely made the night extra special. Overall, we had a great time and really appreciated the attentive service and little touches that made our dinner memorable!

    My sister took me to Clearman's today and I had a phenomenal experience. The place is very historic…read moreand gives old school but modern dining. It's very dark inside but I like it. I love the ambiance and decor of the water fountain in the main dining room. It's set up with menus already on the table in big font which is good!!! They have really good lunch, drinks, and dinner menus with great prices. I ordered the grilled salmon with salad and baked potatoe, and subbed my onion rings for broccoli. Everything was amazing!!! My food was so good and made fresh. I also like how they put the salad dressings on the table and baked potatoes sides so you can get what you want. They also make a mean homemade sour cream that is scrumptious!!! The presentation for the lobster and baked potato is impressive!! I was definitely intrigued!! FYI: they also give you unlimited salad !! You love chocolate cake? Well this is the place to get it!!! I had the chocolate layer cake and it was greaattttt like Tony the Tiger would say!! It was warm soft and melted in my mouth!! I'm not a dessert girl but like I said I wanted to all I could since it was the weekend...you know, work hard play hard :) For my drinks, yes I said drinks lol...it's Saturday!! I tried the espresso and raspberry lemon drop martini and they were great, not too sweet and you can definitely taste the alcohol. I highly recommend their cocktails and they have so many and they get a lot of new ones so ask your waiter which ones that they do have for that day you go. Also, which is very imperative, the service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of having Alberto and he was beyond perfect. He was very attentive, came back the whole time didn't mess up our order and was very patient and had a really good heart. He recommended great suggestions on the menu. If you come ask for Alberto, he will not disappoint you. It's also a lot of parking in the back of the restaurant and easy to find. I cannot wait to come back to go to the bar to watch a game, and come back to try more food options and cocktails. -Marshay D.

It's…read morebetter to access the parking lot off Gregg Rd instead of the "main" entrance on Whittier which is easy to miss. Food is reasonably priced and tastes good. Obviously steaks but chicken and seafood are also ok the menu. We did the Sunday brunch for $49 which included bottomless mimosa, champagne, or fruit juices; a starter salad or parfait and a breakfast entree of your choice. I chose the sirloin steak and eggs. Very good value! Our server was excellent! She kept our drinks full and explained everything on the menu! She also went out of her way to meet all the requests from our large group (including our bill splitting request). Ambience is best described as dark. Not spooky or gothic; just no windows and lighting that requires you to use your phones as flashlights. For good food at a reasonable price with great service - highly recommended ; just bring a light with you.
