Good food but felt bad knowing the previous owner in 1990 or late 1989 or 88 was killed inside.

A Great little hole in the wall for homestyle Mexican food. I had the chicken enchiladas and a Gorditas de res. It's like dropping by to have a tia make you something to eat. But you pay for it. They've got a whole cuaresma menu, deserts, mexican sodas and beers. Friendly staff and chill environment. Very cozy inside. read more

The menudo is good . Serv in a big plate , next time I visit like 2 days later I order 3 sopes to go disappointed at the little meat it was like almost not existent, plenty of lettuce I'm guessing to covering the nonexistent meat. I never order sopes again . read more

A friend recommended this place and really likes it, so we tried it. I thought it was just okay overall. The service was superb. The gorditas were good, the chicken tostada was fine. I ordered the asada quesadilla and the meat was kind of dry and bland. The pozole was the best thing I had. Not really for me, but I can see how someone else might love it. read more

Their menudo is the best! It gets crowded but it's worth the wait. Their Mexican breakfast are so food

I recently moved to South Gate and this place was recommended by the locals. I came for breakfast and the food is fresh and taste is delicious. The service was excellent the waitress was kind and attentive. We had questions and she answered them all. The ambiance is like your eating with family. There's artwork that shows their Latin pride and sport fans. My boyfriend got the torta de jamón which is a fresh bread with ham, avocado, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and onion. He was obsessed. I got the enchiladas de res (pork) and the beans and rice was tasty like if I was eating at my moms house. I recommend this place to come and eat authentic Sinaloa Mexican food in the Los Angeles county area. read more

Cenaduria Gumacus - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Estoy de acuerdo con otras críticas. La comida tarda mucho en llegar. Solamente una seńora atendiendo el día q fui un sábado 2 de sept 2023. Ella constestaba las llamadas tomando ordenes para llevar cuando no podían ni con la gente q estaba en el local. Si sentimos q les daban más importancia a las ordenes para llevar q a nosotros q estábamos sentados esperando. Para acabar estaba muy caliente adentro al parecer no tienen aire acondicionado. 1 por el servicio La comida esta muy rica. Era mi segunda vez manejando 1 hora para visitarlos. Lo peor es q mis invitados se fueron con una muy mala experiencia. read more

Cenaduria Gumacus - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

I'm drooling just thinking about this place... Cenaduria Gumacus is a small Mexican restaurant in the city of South Gate. If you drive too fast you just might pass it. It's located on State between Firestone and Ardmore. When I visit any Mexican restaurant, I always hope I don't end up consuming a gut bomb. You know, when you eat something and it tastes great but then your stomach bloats because of all it's fiber and fried-ness and then eventually MORE happens...You know what I mean! Hence: GUT BOMB. This place is gut bomb free! Food was amazingly fresh and delicious. I walked away feeling satisfied and sated. I had the traditional Mexican fare of rice and beans, a shrimp taco and a potato taco. My friend frequents this place. Her and her family are from Sinaloa. If you're not familiar with Mexico and it's states, Sinaloa is a state on the western coast of Mexico. It is home to Mazatlan. Every state in Mexico has their distinct way of doing things, and according to my friend, friend potato tacos are just one of their specialties. Funny thing is, my mom made potato tacos the same way and she's not from Sinaloa. They tasted just as good as my moms and that says A LOT coming from me. I tried my friend's chilaquiles and they burned a new hole in my tongue. Just kidding! seriously, they were spicy. I don't do spicy. Consider that a fair warning to those of you who can't handle the heat like me! I will definitely visit this restaurant again and if you're looking for real, genuine, Mexican food consider this it! read more

Cenaduria Gumacus - Delicious!!!! - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

I'm Mexican and never had Sinaloese food and didn't recognize some of the items on the menu so I got the traditional breakfast not knowing what the flavors were, and it turned out to be a culmination of divinity. The salsa is mixed with the meat and elote are well balanced with a jab to your tongue. read more

Comida Sinaloense. Too bad is only too go. Hopefully not for long. The food is good. Mejor que la de tu mama. The machaca con verdura is the best. My baby loves to eat frijoles puercos con tortillas echas a mano, and drink chocomil. read more

Food was great... place is clean and cool. But the waitress needs to remember she is works in a restaurant and with people, so please smile and be nice to people! Remember if you don't like your job find something else. We go to have a nice pleasant time not to bother you and look at your unwelcoming face. Plenty of places to go eat. La Comida esta sabrosa! El lugar limpio. Pero la mesera tiene una cara como que le molesta su trabajo. Porfavor sea mas contenta y agradable. Con la mala cara no da ganas de regresar. Dueño porfavor aregle este problema. read more

This place is under new management. Nothing of what it used to be. The food tasted the same but the services is really bad, they take forever to bring your food even if there's no other people waiting. I've been coming here for years but it's just not the same. I'm not coming back. read more

The only reason reason I'm giving them a 5 star is because their menudo deserves it. All the other food I have tired is basic.

Pesimo servicio duran muchidimo tiempo para servir la comida casi una hora y la escusa ke dijeron fue ke Era porke tenian pedidos por telefon. Asi ke si ban a ir hablen y ordenen al.pareser les Dan prioridad. Si preguntan si esta buena la.comida la.verdad nonse porke me sali a buscar otra parte donde kmer. Muy mal servicio no lo recomiendo para nada. read more

The motherfu*king beans are infused with pork? Handmade corn tortillas? They serve spicy shredded pork? Cold ass tecates? Need I say more? I don't.....but I will. CHILORIO http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cenaduria-gumacus-south-gate?select=rSytvG6l1lWH1VoFPnTElw#_Fi7DfgEeUSU4wur6lyH5g Perfectly cooked and marinated pieces of shredded pork with onions and peppers.

Traditional, at-home-style Mexican kitchen serving up all your favorites! My favorite are the Chilaquiles! I usually order mine with eggs sunny side up and they come with house-made refried beans and Mexican rice. I love my Chilaquiles crispy and at Gumacus, they get it right every time! The salsa smothered over them is a tasty tomato based red salsa with a smoky, peppery finish.They sprinkle it with savory queso cotija and shreds of red onion! Yum! They have a great selection of drinks as well, including Sangria and they make they're own "Licuados," or milk base fruit smoothies! They're assortment of sweets is gret too, Cocadas, Capirotada and super bomb Choco-Flan! The owner, Paola is from Sinloa and as a true and proud Sinaloanse she offers up some of my favorite Mexican sea food dishes; Agua Chile for you raw seafood lovers and camarones a la diablo, a savory dish of cooked shrimp in a tasty, spicy tomato sauce! Viva Sinaloa! Go Paola! read more

Great service and very delicious food! Chips and salsa were delicious! Machaca with eggs and beans were soooo good! Homemade tortillas yum!! Horchata! read more

The chilaquiles have a nice crunch with a subtle tomato sauce that ties in well with the queso fresco and red onion. The two eggs were nicely cooked to a nice over medium. Chilaquiles are served only with beans which was nice, but I thought they were just ok. A little runny and bland. I enjoyed the chilaquiles and would return to try other items. Prices are very reasonable at $5.99. Service is straight forward, nothing fancy. read more

ALTHOUGH ! The ONLY downfall of this service or should I say one of the waitresses that works there is very unprofessional of her to be disgusted by our personal order or preference. You walk in and she doesn't greet you and her attitude is very noticeable. She keeps rolling her eyes as she's taking the order and just walks away and mumbling things about tables. VERY STRONG PERSONALITY ! Other than that Totally recommend the food ! The Lady cook is Amazing! Love her deverian de Aprender! Anonymous Joe and Cabby read more

I love this place. Prices are great. Street parking. Small location couple booths feels like your eating in a restaurant in Sinaloa. Walked in on Sunday around 1 pm and there was no wait. We were greeted by the host who informed us we can sit where ever. We quickly ordered and our food came out fast as well. I ordered machaca w/ frijoles puercos and my bf ordered carne en su jugo. The food was great loved it. Can't wait to be back to try something else in the menu. read more

We love coming here really homemade food love the menudo and my fiancé likes the machaca

The food was delicious, the torta de cochinita pibil was pretty authentic and delicious. Everything I tasted was good and it's as close to Sinaloa style as it gets (obviously the food in Sinaloa is better) but for being in LA it's pretty good. The location itself is tiny and it has an old dirty diner feeling to it. It's not a nice looking place, and the parking is limited. Again it feels like a small "Cenaduria" in Mexico so in that sense it works. There was only one waitress working and she did manage to piss me off a few times, her customer service needs some serious work. I even heard her yell at the kitchen ladies because they messed up on one of my orders. I had read reviews prior to my visit and there was a lot of mention of this rude waitress and I was really close to telling her about her terrible reputation but then I noticed that she was running around like a chicken with her head cut off, cleaning all the tables, taking everyone's orders, serving all the food, it hit me! If I was the only waitress and I had to do all that work alone, I would be upset as well. Needless to say if I return and she happens to have help and she continues to be rude, that may be enough to keep me away. For now all is well and I will continue to eat at this delicious restaurant. read more

Great Mexican food restaurant. Authentic and very nice people working Will definitely come back. read more

The food here is so good but it's not enough for me to go anymore! Why because they have this older lady like in her late 40s as a waitress and only her and let me tell you she has such a bad vibe. I will go and try to ignore her but it's like she's miserable so she wants everybody to be miserable with her. She only has a good attitude with men sadly!! I hope they do something about this because they are losing costumers and it's unfair because their food is actually pretty goof read more

Food is good but pozole & menudo is nasty and old The waitress in the morning sucks But the service with the waitress in the after noon is excellent . read more

The food is flavorless. The beans were uninspired and the mole tasted like it came from doña maria. The tortillas de harina are guerrero store bought. The worst part is the bitchy ass waitress that acts like she has a stick up her ass. She should not be in customer service with that attitude. read more

ruda al momento de llegar. no nos permitio ni sentarnos.

Went do dinner with a +1. We ordered the following: camarones en aguachile, camarones a la diabla, taco de camaron estilo ensenada, orden de capirotada, a sidral, and a diet coke. Total: 30 dollars. Gumacus is hidden in this street block. You have to be actively searching for it or else you will miss it as it is squeezed in between store-fronts that look like homes. The complimentary chips are great. The salsa they provide has a definite punch to it. Camarones en aguachile: prepared correctly, plentiful, and good presentation. Not over-seasoned like other restaurants tend to incorrectly do. Camarones a la diabla: comes with a side salad, spanish rice, and three hand-made tortillas. Executed well. The sauce on the camarones is a little thick, mild, and with some sweet aftertaste. This is camarones a la diabla in top form. Taco de camaron estilo ensenada: I worried that they would over-batter and fry the shrimp to death or only give me one shrimp and a ton of lettuce. I was surprised by their lightly battered, three huge shrimp in the large hand-made tortilla. Dressing was lightly done over shredded cabbage and diced tomatoes. Capirotada: warm, with a good amount of nuts and raisins. Sizable portion that could be shared by two people easily. Extremely great service. A gem in between nondescript buildings. Definitely coming back. read more

The food is great, I had the Chilorio with egg and pork beans super yummy, my fiance had scrambled egss with chilaquiles and my future mother in law had 2 sopes and a side of chilaquiles. My only problem was our server was not very nice we asked her what a plate was and she would make a face, I asked for water but it never came no big deal i didnt complaint. read more

Like some ppl mentioned the food it's delicious!!! It's so yummy , that's why I keep coming back. But the service is horrible , you wait for almost 1 hr to get serviced especially if it's the gentleman doing the orders, he never writes anything down and always forgets everything , if you're in a hurry don't bother coming here, you're not getting out on time. When you have one of the female waitresses, she is soo rude. But the food is good and feels homemade . As for the diner, very very little and dirty looking. I might try to phone in an order and ask for it to go next time. I've been here too many times alrd and just about had enough of the long waiting times and bad customer service. read more
