    Outside from the parking lot
    Mike T.

    I was in the neighborhood when I passed by and saw this establishment. They are located in a strip mall, so ample parking. The outside of the building gave me hole on the wall vibes so I had to check it out. The interior matches the exterior but the floors, tables, and salsa bar are all clean. I ordered 2 carnitas burritos with everything. It came to $31 and change. The cashier tells me all the salsas are located in a 2door prep station next to the counter. I lift the lid and find individually wrapped, roasted jalapeños, a red salsa, a green salsa, limes and radishes. Everything is fresh and very flavorful. After about 5 minutes my order is ready. I grab the bag and head home. I get home and unpack a bag of chips with packets of salt, and 2 giant burritos. I cut one in half and take a bite. The avocado and pico de gallo are super fresh. The meat is tender and juicy. It has a nice fresh flavor and finishes with a hint of garlic. Overall the burrito is solid, I think it needs more salt but they did give me salt packets so I can't complain. I do wish the burrito had some cheese. The salsas had nice heat the roasted jalapeño was great. I would come back and try more things.

    Amazing food! I had the burrito asada with Al pastor tacos. It's really rare to find great friendly service with good food. The meat tasted fresh ( I am very picky with red meat) and the tacos were seasoned just right. This will be my new lunch spot from now on!

    Really good Mexican food at this whole in the wall! My bf loves their nachos and I enjoy their menudo. Their tortas are also very delicious! All at reasonable prices and good portions. Parking can be tough, but it doesn't take away from the review. Great spot!

    Nasty salsa
    Patrick P.

    Bad service, over priced, rude, and nasty food!!! Do not go here. I leave a lot of reviews on YELP and always try to give each restaurant the benefit of the doubt, but this place is horrible. 2 burritos for $30??? They were cold and nasty!!! I repeat do not go here ever!!! Shut this place down!!! THE CHIPS WERE STALE!!! just go to chipotle instead!

    A "Carne Asada Super Burrito"
    Miguel S.

    My family and I have been coming to this place for over ten years for a good reason, the friendly customer service and the great food. Well that was until a couple years ago when they began to quickly increase their prices. Today was my first time there in about six months and was not expecting to buy my most expensive burrito ( The price is now higher than many Mexican dine-in chains; e.g. Acapulco and Chevy's). Though the nostalgia from my past great experiences with Carnitas Michoacan told me to go along with my purchase expecting the usual high quality burrito. I was not expecting a burrito composed almost entirely of rice, cream, and beans. Note that my burrito was supposed to be a carne asada super burrito. I'm disappointed, and considering all the other options for better burritos for almost half the price, I probably won't be going anytime soon. Note that the prices on their pictures inside the restaurant no longer reflect the actual prices of the food. Expect to pay more.

    killer torta! (this one with extra lettuce and tomato)
    David W.

    Very nice! Glad I took a chance (based on Lou R.'s review) Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, etc. Big lunch-counter style menu, I got the Asada torta. The chopped asada had a little fat, but nothing bad, and the overall flavor was fantastic! I would recommend anyone who likes traditional (not American-Style mexican) Mexican food to drop by when you are in the area. I will be going there about once a week (near my work)

    Berria! Hearty and flavorful
    Lily D.

    Sunday night cravings fulfilled! Originally we were going to order with postmates but since it was our first time trying Carnitas Michoacán we decided to drive down the street instead. Delicious delicious food and friendly staff. We ordered the Berria- flavorful and tender meat perfect comfort meal for cold nights (too bad it was almost 80degrees outside) also ordered the pastor burrito and a Care asada taco combo plate served with rice and beans. The pastor was perfect crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. We will definitely eat from Carnitas Michoacán again especially since they are on post mates. Yum!

    Nachos
    Charlie D.

    Great authentic Mexican food! I ordered the Nachos Supreme and a 3 taco plate, the total came out to about $13. Everything was fresh, seasoned to perfection, and beautifully presented. The nachos we're covered with just the right amount of beans, cheese, beef, salsa, and slices of guacamole. The Tacos were filled high but not messy, and came with a side of beans and rice. Don't let the hole in the wall look discourage you, this place has top notch food and my new favorite Mexican food spot in the valley.

    Receipt

    If I could give this place 0 stars I definitely would. This place is OVERPRICED for the quality of food you get and on top of that they still charge you $1 dollar if you are paying with a card. I ordered the taco dorado plate and let me tell you the beef has to be extremely old I'm beyond positive Taco Bell gives you fresher ingredients then this place and for half the price. So if you want to pay $17 dollars for an horchata and some crunchy tacos you could get at Taco Bell then this is the place for you. Definitely never coming back here again and would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Delicious Tacos!

    From food to customer service it's all bad. Carnitas are not freshly made and taste old.

    Horrible. It's kind of hard to mess up a burrito. Dry, old meat. Definitely not good and will not be going back.

For food, my boyfriend and I both got chilaquiles with barbacoa! It was the perfect portion size and great flavor. We were both happy with our meals!

They have seating inside and out. I would recommend reservations because the place is not too big. Service was good and fast. I tried their Mexican matcha with rose syrup. Not sweet at all which I liked but I do wish there was more matcha and more rose flavor. I also ordered the chilaquiles divorciados which had both green and red sauce. Both sauces were delicious and I'm so glad they had this option for people who want to try both. It came with an egg on top and you could add a protein for an extra charge. I really enjoyed the dish and it had the perfect amount of sauce, the chips were not dry at all. I would be back to have more.

When I turned the corner into the street next to the restaurant I easily found street parking, just keep an eye on the street signs so you park during appropriate times. We were seated outside which was perfect weather and it was great the tables could be pushed together to accommodate as many people as would arrive (our group fit in 4 tables pushed together). To start, the bean dip and salsa! That bean dip is so delicious and spicy! If you told me they were sold out and all I could eat is chips and bean dip I would have been a happy girl and just sat there eating the bean dip! Yummm! For the main course I went with the Steak Tostada Salad and it did not disappoint! The tostada was fluffy and crunchy, and the inside was filled to the brim and had nice thick pieces of steak on top! I did not feel an ounce of guilt as I gobbled down the whole thing and I even splashed some of that bean dip onto the top for good measure! In looking around at everyone's plates everyone's food looked amazing with very very generous portions. The waiters were very attentive to our group coming around frequently keeping our waters full and refilling cocktails for anyone who had ordered one. I definitely recommend Los Amigos Bar & Grill for a very delicious and authentic experience!

    I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, this is some of the worst Mexican food I have ever tasted…read morein my life! I ordered the Shrimp a la Scampi, light garlic, with rice & beans to go. When i got home, I realized the shrimp was sitting in a greasy pool of garlic-laden oil, which leaked all over everything. Thank God they use a plastic bag; otherwise, that garlic mess would have been all over my car. The beans were so salty & weird tasting (the worst ever), I think the chef must have been in the Mortons family. The rice was okay, but had no flavor at all, so my doggies will love it in their food tomorrow. The chips, which are now in the bin, were completely tasteless. They don't include tortillas(?), so I paid for an order of them, but they had so much grease on them from the pool of oil that leaked, I had to throw them out. The only thing I rescued from this expensive meal was the shrimp. I pulled them from the greasy garlic pool and am planning to rinse them off tomorrow and put lemon on them. Hopefully they will be edible. The young gentleman who got my order ready was a sweetheart, so I will say one nice thing. After the overwhelming garlic smell, the mess I had to clean up because of all of that leaked oil and my disgust with the waste of money, I ended up having watermelon at home for dinner.

    We've been driving by Mex Cocina Cafe for over a year, and this place is ALWAYS packed. We were…read morecraving breakfast on a rainy day and finally decided it was time to see what all the hype was about -- and now we completely understand why it's always so busy! We waited about 45 minutes for a table, which honestly wasn't a problem at all. They're located in a plaza with parking, and there's also plenty of street parking nearby. First, let's talk about the Café de Olla. We ordered two, and WOW. It's their signature coffee, brewed with cinnamon, raw Mexican brown sugar, and spices. We normally drink our coffee black, but this was easily one of the best coffees I've ever had. Seriously, do not skip the coffee here! For breakfast, we ordered two dishes and shared everything. We had the Breakfast Skillet, loaded with country potatoes, eggs, bell peppers, mozzarella, fresh avocado, and ranchero sauce. We also ordered the Chilaquiles à la Bandera -- crispy tortilla chips with half tossed in their green salsa and the other half in red salsa, topped with mozzarella, Mexican cream, Cotija cheese, and eggs. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. And because we needed something sweet, we added the Crunchy French Toast Sticks, drizzled with caramel and Lechera. SO GOOD and the perfect sweet addition to our breakfast. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! The service deserves its own mention. Our server, Liliana, was an absolute doll! She was so sweet, attentive, and genuinely helpful. She helped us decide what to order based on her own favorites and recommendations, and everything she suggested was spot on. Our Café de Olla came out within probably a minute of ordering, and once we placed our food order, I don't think we waited more than five minutes. Considering how packed the restaurant was, we were seriously impressed. Liliana definitely made our first visit even better! Everything was perfect -- the food, the coffee, and especially the service. Definitely recommend Mex Cocina Cafe for breakfast or brunch. We will 100% be back. In fact, we already can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

I didn't look inside , but likely the outside area is similar as the inside as to regards capacity. tortas very good. Moist compared to other restaurants. Chilaquiles . Super good. Only knock - the tortilla chips were already saggy by the time I got the plate. (The chilaquiles came about 10mins after my wife's tortas. ). A few minutes later (After my wife got her plate), a worker (maybe the manager?) asked what were you waiting for ? (I didn't complain) I told him , and about 5 mins later my plate came. I never saw him again. As for the tortilla chips - maybe that is their style . Big portions, I ate about half my plate. Service was above average overall. Not great. Maybe they were short staffed- idk. Didn't bother me. Parking in the lot and street. Don't think there will be a big issue.
