    They just opened up three weeks ago. There's a daily special Monday-Thursday featuring tacos at $1.99. We tried the fish tacos and one taco de papa. They were so fresh and generous with the portions. I was left wanting MORE. Simple menu with two salsas, i liked the red best as the green wasn't spicy enough for me. The place is small and super clean. All were welcoming and friendly and every one on the restaurant seemed to be enjoying their food. I look forward to trying their shrimp tacos next. We parked right in front.

    On a Thursday morning in August, I came here for their lunch special - burrito with soda can $8.25. It's next to Vittoria pizza and chevron gas. The staff are nice and friendly and inside is very clean. I ordered carne asada burrito with no beans. As I was waiting the ambulance workers ordered their lunch here too so it must taste good. There are plenty of tables to sit and 2 free sauces available -red and green. The Asada burrito tastes good with bite size pieces of Asada, Spanish rice and pico del gallo. I also ordered al pastor taco which has lots of filling. Next time I will try their other items.

    Shrimp tacos I took picture after already eaten one of them.

    I'm very happy this mom and pop with son place opened up a few blocks away from me. Got their Tuesday special Shrimp tacos and they were on point. Everything was fresh and they have a self serve salsa bar. Looking forward to trying their fish tacos and other items from their menu. I was told this is their second location and first location has been around for over a decade so they know what they are doing. Everyone was friendly and it was nice to have AC. Definitely recommend this place. Also they have daily specials!

    All I can say is wow! The camarón enchilado taco is amazing. The Baja fish taco is second to none. Brand new spot with great AC ( currently 100 degrees) amazing food and welcoming staff. Family owned with great salsa! The red is pretty spicy. So good I had to call my Dad to come get a plate. Definitely will be a regular here!

    The best shrimp tacos in Alhambra!!  Come visit the second location it's on Valley and Fremont.

    Culinary adventuretime. I happen to be in the area visiting a friend post surgery. After I dropped…read moreoff some cookies and good cheer for a quick recovery, I turned to Yelp abd my fellow Yelpies for a mex place near me. Omg a true mom and pop place, hole in the wall....just 5 min away. I loved the name The name, Little Cowboy. It's in a small mini mall hidden by metal bars and next to a barber shop...but its here...got lucky at 3 pm on a Tuesday and slipped unto a free parking spot but I bet this place gets busy...Because it's gooood!! I ordered the #2 taquitos, but it came as the #1...no matter, i loved the flauntas,, they were huge, crunchy, and I had them with the fixings which was lettuce guacamole and crumbled queso...5/5. It was preceded by chips, they tasted fresh and crispy, nearly all were, except for that first one...but i used the chips to scoop up the awesome frijoles, the frijoles were da bomb 6/5, just traditional fijoles, nothing fancy...perfection. The Jamaica was refreshing and not too too sweet. Nothing was overly salty, and it was all reasonably priced. What's a hidden gem. Don't be put off by the exterior of the place...its good here. I'll be back to try everything... especially the chile relleno. I love it when I can support a mom and pop place. Especially when it's so yumm!! Oh and shoutout to Diane for the friendly accommodating service. She made the in-restaurant experience lovely and comfy for this single diner. Thanks Diane.

    The food here is great. My favorites are the torta ahogada and the tortas. The food portions are…read morereally good, and service is quick even when it's lunch time.

    I came here for lunch and had a really nice experience. The restaurant is located off Colorado…read moreBoulevard, and when I arrived around lunchtime, it wasn't busy at all. There was plenty of seating. Our server was very nice and attentive. I didn't catch his name, but he was constantly refilling our waters and making sure we had everything we needed, including chips, napkins, and anything else we asked for. My friend ordered the chicken mole enchiladas, and I ordered the chicken fajitas. The fajitas were super flavorful and delicious. I also really enjoyed the rice, although I wasn't a big fan of the beans. The chips and salsa were really good as well. The one thing I found a little odd was that they didn't have a red salsa or something like pico de gallo to have with the chips. That was a little disappointing. Overall, though, this was a solid experience. I'd give it 4 stars. I would definitely come back and would recommend giving this place a try!

    Respect to the beauty of the So Cal neighborhood Mexican restaurant…read more I'm in the area a lot, but usually for Chinese / Vietnamese food. This time, it was a little after rush hour and I had 25 minutes to kill before an event down the block. I also had a mean hunger. It was hot, the event was a performance in a space without AC, and the idea of being hungry and hot was sort of daunting. So Chonitos it was. I asked the host if the kitchen moves quickly, because I needed to be somwhere. He said 'no problem' and seated me. Now I need to acknowledge that my request could be interpreted as annoying. I mean, me being short on time is not the restaurant's issue. But Chonitos was open to the task at hand. The space has a dark sports bar vibe. Plenty of folks enjoying their Thursday evening, drinking, eating and watching the screens. My server was Saul. He had a drink in my hand in less than three minutes and took my order the moment I was ready. Saul was very cool about getting me fed quickly. The food came out in less than 8 minutes, a taco enchilada combo. Just what I needed, homemade for sure, and both satisfying and comforting. A little corn cake rounded out the experience. I wolfed it down, thanked Saul for being supportive, then paid the check, and arrived early at my next stop. Chonitos is dope. Recommended. Good food, unpretentious vibes, and a neighborhood energy that is hard to find these days. Thank you so much.

    brunch buffet Not sure why the front door is the exit so…read moreyou gotta go through a side door. Walk in and grab food and pay after. Food is decent. Enchiladas, chicken, eggs, etc. The selection is limited, like 20 different items. but definitely worth trying once. I asked for Horchata Drink and a staff handed it to me. It was filled to the brim with ice. It wouldn't have been a problem but I wasn't sure how to get a refill... they came to pick up my plate but not refill my drink. ($5 drink btw) I like their selection of spanish music, music that is well known. Friendly staff I suppose.

    Date of visit: May 10, 2026…read more Selections: Enchiladas de Mole Experience: We had called on Saturday, aka the day before Mother's Day, to see if we could make a reservation, but were told to show up early and we will be seated regardless if our whole party was fully there. We were going to be there a bit before 11:00AM originally on Sunday since their website said 11:00AM, but Yelp said 10:00AM was when they opened. So my husband called on Sunday to check and they did indeed opened at 10:00AM. When we got there, there were already three sets of groups seated and they had to rearrange some tables for us since our party was nine people, which only took a couple of minutes to arrange. We were served complimentary chips and salsa as well as water as we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. I had quickly chosen my dish cause I'm a sucker for mole and there were only two options that had it, so I ended up getting the enchiladas de mole. The servers were great and the food was as pretty good too. I ended up taking leftovers home since I had eaten too much chips and dip before my actual food came cause the server refilled our chips on our end of the table like four times. The mole was pretty good and I wish there was more of it and didn't really enjoy that there was veggies inside the enchiladas since I think I was expecting more chicken than veggies inside. Not a big fan of beans, but they were pretty good with the melted cheese on top and the rice was good too. I definitely loved the decor they had and the designs painted on the walls because they eee so pretty and provided good photo op backgrounds.

    First time here and not impressed. Service was pretty good. Not great, but not that bad either…read more But the food? Not good. For the prices they are asking, wife & I expected some pretty good food. We were fooled. The food was below average. We've had tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. at half the price of this place, and they tasted twice as good. The chicken here was a mix of white and dark meat. Which is fine. But how is the dark meat so dry? White meat also pretty dry. And was there any seasoning on the meat? Didn't taste like it. Enchilada sauce was very minimal in amount and flavor. Taco just ok. Drinks tasted fine, but overpriced and weak. All in all, if we are going to pay these prices, we expect very good food. This food was not worth coming back for, even if the price was less. I will say one thing, their beans are good.
