Small hole in the wall restaurant that's hidden. I got the carne asada burrito which wasn't bad. Although $14 for a burrito seems expensive from other big burritos I have had elsewhere that tasted better. The bathroom was in the back of the restaurant with the women's only having 2 stalls. You can't open the bathroom stall doors to get in or out if the main door to go into the bathroom is pushed in. I'm short and when you sit on the toilet, your legs hit the bathroom stall doors. Very crammed and the stall next to you had holes in the walls so someone can peek through so be careful. read more

The albondigas had a soft texture but were a little salty to my liking. Still a solid choice but next time, I would try something else -- maybe one of their Salvadoran dishes (pupusas, tamales). The side salad added freshness and cut the heaviness of the albondigas. Rice and beans were standard and done well. The chef likes to come out periodically to check on folks which isn't something I see often nowadays, so I appreciated that. It's a very lowkey spot across Grand Central Market, near Maccheroni Republic. Overall a cozy spot for a bite to eat. read more

A very small hole in the wall that makes me feel right at home. Their amazing staff always makes sure that you are taken care of always. It's a very family friendly type of restaurant that needs a bit more recognition in my opinion. My husband and I would got here at least twice a week when we lived in DTLA. read more

Had the Carnitas burrito and some chips...it was pretty big and filled me up. But, that's as good as it gets. There was nothing special here, the burrito was lacking flavor, the hot sauce was not as good as Tapatio, the chips were nothing special as well. With all the options in DTLA and with Grand Central Market across the street, there is no need to return here. Note: This was part of my MealPal experience. Check out my Mealpal DTLA collection if you want to follow along. If you are scratching your head about MealPal...google it. The meal was not ready for pick-up, there is seating available, but it's not that inviting. I went to Grand Central Market instead. read more

They've been in business for quite some time, buy why no new reviews since 2016? I had to find out and headed down to add my review. People always seem to fall into a pattern of cycling through their same food places over and over, but I always like to venture out and try to the 'hole-in-the-wall' locations hidden in plain site. Once you step inside, you feel like you're in place that you'd walk into in a place like Tijuana. There are 2 sides (and 2 entrances), with one looking like a little store that's half stocked and one side looks like a cafeteria. I didn't see a menu at first, but then was shown where it was; It was limited in nature and lacked prices and was located on the left store side and then you went to the cafeteria side to order. It's not a place screaming out for you to walk into, it's not really 'welcoming' in appearance (and I immediately got the vision that this was a location that Robert Rodriguez would have Danny Trejo running a vampire cult in the basement). It's as basic a place as they come, but fight against the urge to leave, order, have a seat, and enjoy some decent home-made style food. Anyhoo, the staff was pretty pleasant, the food was good, although a bit slow because it's more like a home-made menu, as opposed to being completely ready to grab-n-go. Prices aren't as cheap as you'd expect, but you're definitely supporting a local small business. read more

Hole in the wall, does the job- late night tacos and burritos. Was stunned, when I asked for the check, and the sparkling water (mineragua, not topo chico) was $5 each. $10 for water and $9 for a burrito? Unbelievable. read more

There is a food snob in all of us. We turn up our noses at a dirty looking spot or some place that might look too beneath us. I think it's important to always have an open mind to discovering new spots, no matter what they look like on the surface. On a day I was feeling very ravenous, I wanted to try something new or untried near my office. I didn't want normal or anything chain based. I knew there was a string of Mexican food stores along Broadway that I usually scoff at when I pass by. Café India was one of those store fronts that I would usually dismiss on my way into work. However, I would always notice the window that looked into the kitchen area and I would see a little abuelita cooking away at some big pots. I really had no idea what I would be eating. I didn't know what to expect. I assumed I would be laid out later with some kind of stomach ailment from eating at a place with a low health rating. (I still don't recall the letter rating). I just pretended to be Tony Bourdain and dived right in. It was a pretty telling sign when I walked in and the place was sparse with seating and décor. Just some bare walls and linoleum floors. It made me grin to see a drunken guy already passed out at a table while another couple fed the jukebox and danced loudly in the middle of the eating area. Also charming was trying to order with the gal behind the counter, as well as the abuelita, who both did not speak ANY English. Ordering was basically made by pointing and nodding. I opted for a chicken mole and another item that just called out to me, chicharron pupusa. It was a nice surprise to receive some handmade corn tortilla chips with salsa. The salsa was toxic. It was basically some tapatio with some herbs in it. LOL. My food finally arrived, served up by the abuelita that prepared the meal. It made me smile. I pretended I was a guest at a house being served a home cooked meal. I sneaked a peek at the tortillas that came with my big plate. The tortillas were definitely hand made. I am not sure if they were made on the premise but you can tell they were had made. A nice touch that they were toasted and warm. The mole was very good. Better than I would have ever expected. I didn't expect a Rick Bayless mole, but this one rivaled any of the good moles I have had in the past. Nice sweetness and touches of spice you would want and expect in any good mole. I was completely confused how tender the chicken was. I admit I was nervous that the chicken was cooking in the pot all day or something? I still can't figure out why and how the chicken was that tender. The pupusa was very nice as well. A little larger and a little thicker than I am accustomed to but it still made me smile as I ate. You might find a more delicate pupusa at Saritas across the street at Grand Central Market or a Jaraga in KTown. I still enjoyed it very much. I was glad to have gone outside my range of eateries in my local area. It reminded me all of us should try out the places you might not normally try. You will discover some good authentic hand crafted food. Don't get me wrong. Its a hole in the wall. If you have a weak heart you may want to wimp out. But if you're in the area for a Devil's Night, Grand Performances, or pubcrawling on the Bar-Muda Triangle, then I would recommend checking it out. read more

Since I showed up without a picnic basket to the Devil's Night Drive-In, my date and I decided to grab a bite before the movie started. I loved how we were the only non-Hispanics in the restaurant. And I loved the impromptu dancing that occurred in the dining room. There wasn't a dance floor, but the music was blasting and the diners were a groovin'. I ordered two pupusas with chicharron and cheese and my date ordered two chicken tacos. The pupusas were phenomenally good! The chicken tacos were uber fresh and delicious and served on flour tortillas. However the language barrier posed a problem and I think it impeded me from paying with a credit card, so I had to blow some popcorn money to pay for dinner ($10). This place is a total hole in the wall and I really liked it. The restroom situation was atrocious so I have to deduct a star for that debacle. But when ya gotta go ya gotta go... read more

I wished I had read the review. Price was outrageously expensive for a chicken stew kinda meal. It should have been a sign when there's no food with price. read more

The food was good but I thought it wasn't worth the price. I was surprised at how high the price were. Make sure you ask how much each item is, so you're not surprised when you get your check. read more

My boyfriend brought me here for the first time and now we're basically regulars. The pupusas are delicious and rich in flavor as well as the sauce and the curtido. I always get bean, cheese, and jalapeños and it's sooo delicious! I love cheese and they make their pupusas very cheesy. They have delicious Central American beer to go along with your pupusas. I love how lowkey this spot is and I hope it stays that way so they don't lose their touch, but I definitely recommend this spot ! Customer service is great too read more

I tried Casa India through MealPal and got their vegan burrito. It had rice, beans, cucumber, pico de gallo, and avocado. The pico de gallo had a ton of liquid from that tomatoes and made the whole burrito soggy and overpowered the rest of the flavors. I did like the salsa that came with the chips and the staff was friendly but I would not come here again. read more

Awesome food!!! great vibe with people dancing, beer in ice buckets on the table, beautiful paintings on the wall, and Delicious pupusas!!

I love this place even though have had their share of problems that were exposed on the News....that is all I am saying they are okay during light hours I have lunch in there many times you know when a beer or margarita is calling our names. The margaritas are too weak the beers are ice cold. The fresh squeezed juices are great...they have many kinds of fresh fruit waters called Auja freshcas...I think? We like the hand made papusas and enchiladas good the chips are good the salsa too hot for me. I will go for lunch this week. read more

Best burritos in town! Amazing deal through meal pal. Amazing staff, price is unbeatable. Place has been around for over 30 years, so they must the doing something right. read more

I don't think this is the right place for vegans. Cucumber on a burrito? They just don't get it.

Totally recommend this place. It's kinda hidden but the pupusa are great and it come with a really good sauce and pickle cabbage. Every time I feel like I'm getting sick I get the Caldo de res and it picks me right up. If you ever just want to break from the routine come in and try something different. read more

Great food but very slow service. I absolutely loved the chicken tamale, it taste just like a belizean tamale. The pupusas are a nice size and the curtido was fresh not sour. It was a long wait for our order to be taken, the food to come out, and the waiter to ring us up when we were ready to go. Aside from the slow service, there is no restroom. I will get my food to go next time. read more

Made-to-order pupusas, a variety of cold beer and all the futbol and Spanish-speaking that you could ask for. This place is no-frills, but LEGIT. Seems like it's a party- even at 11am on a Monday. The pork and cheese pupusa is my go-to (Chicarron Con Queso). Perfectly cheesy/doughy rich and nicely accented by the curtido (fermented cabbage relish). Bring your cash and see you there on a Friday night when I'm sure it will be a fiesta. read more

Another reviewer's mention of chicken mole motivated me to try this place recently. Unfortunately, they didn't have that when I got there. Opted for some chili verde instead (chunks of pork in a green sauce). It was pretty good. Huge plate of food, with rice and beans on the side (and hot corn tortillas). The refried beans were particularly tasty. Chili verde was decent... it was a really good sauce but the meat was meh... half was tender and half was just plain chewy/tough. The restaurant itself: looked pretty clean inside, very plain decor. Group of guys at one table watching World Cup and nursing beers. Three ladies in the kitchen (which is right up front near the entrance, and open so you can see what's going on in there). One of the chefs was roasting peppers on an open flame when I walked in, which tells me they're making their own sauces from scratch, which I'd say is a good sign. Although the chili verde meat was so-so, the delicious sauce and tasty refrieds have got me curious to see what else they can do. Definitely will be back for mole. read more

Hole in the wall place with awesome food and great service. Highly recommend. Pupusas were good but tacos were out of the world! Tried a taco each of carnitas, carne asada and pollo. Each of were a gem! Glad they were open on 1st Jan and I stopped by. read more
