    Breakfast Burrito (sausage and bacon mix)
    Lauren L.

    If you're looking for true authentic Mexican food, you've found the right place! It was my first time trying Cafe Tizon. When I came in with my dad, we were greeted by our server and she asked if it was our first time visiting. When we said yes, she gave us 2 tamales and 2 drinks free of charge. It was a very kind gesture that we greatly appreciated. Our server then told us the history of the restaurant and how all the people who worked there were her family members. This is truly a small family run business through and through. It's definitely a restaurant that makes you happy to put your money back in the hands of the community instead in the pockets of big franchises. Here's a review of my experience: Pork Tamale: Very delicious and authentic tasting! I've never had a tamale that gave the tamales my grandma makes every year a run for her money! The masa was delicious and it came with a lot of meat filling. Breakfast Burrito: I bought 2 to share amongst 4 people. The burrito was pretty big and there was a generous amount of the bacon and sausage put into it. Definitely satisfied my hankering for a good breakfast burrito. Ambiance: clean establishment with a homey feel. Overall, this place is a hidden treasure that I'm glad I found. Please give this place a try next time you want some authentic Mexican food!

    Breakfast burrito is 10/10. I asked for chorizo, beans, AND potatoes. One of the best i've had!

    Good flavor, honeycomb tripe.

    Very good menudo. Small hole in the wall, reasonable prices. I want to try the tamales but I'm too full.

    Rajas, puero, pollo verde, chicharron tamalitos

    Người việt đây. Each tamal $3.00 and they are HUGE! Personal favorite is the rajas of course They had chicharron that day, recommended if yall never had that. Service is quick, small and cozy restaurant. Salsa comes in small cups complimentary.

This is the kind…read moreof small business you feel good supporting--deeply rooted in tradition, made with care, and run with heart. Deborah, the owner, is incredible and truly passionate about sharing Oaxacan cuisine the right way. You can feel that intention in every dish. The guacamole is fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced--simple ingredients, done right. Their Oaxacan horchata deserves special recognition: lighter, more nuanced, and less cloying than the typical version, with a flavor profile that feels thoughtful and refreshing rather than overly sweet. This was also my first time trying chapulines, and it couldn't have been a better introduction. Knowing they're sourced directly from Oaxaca adds so much meaning to the experience. Earthy, savory, and surprisingly approachable--an authentic taste of regional tradition that you don't find easily. El Ruizenor Grill isn't just a restaurant--it's a cultural experience. If you appreciate food with history, integrity, and soul, this spot in Temple City is a must-visit. I'll absolutely be back.

The only bad thing was that it tasted more like a can of tomato sauce. It wasnt spicy at all. Very bland. The chilequiles with rice and beans were good except that the cook made my eggs well done instead of sunny side up. They looked like pancakes on the bottom of the egg. Anyways, loved tge chumpurado. The best I've had in a long time. They serve it in a cute coffee mug. Overall, not bad. I may go back for the presentation and price
