    Large horchata = pitcher
    Nikky B.

    Good: big big big portion! Big menu with various selection. Fun Facts: 1. I wanted horchata. I was asked big or small for horchata, so I said big and I asked the waiter if they made their in house. He asked me again small or big, I said big. And he brought out a pitcher 2. The fish ceviche was already cooked so I'm not sure if that's their style. 3. I always ask for tons of lemon for my Mojarra Frita and ceviche so we went back and forth for a good few minute clarifying if I wanted 2-5 pieces of cut lemons or 2 whole lemons The food quality was okay. My 5 stars is mainly for big portion for food, 2.5 whole lemons, and pitcher of horchata for large drink!

    Mole con Pollo

    This place is a total dive with great Mexican food! I don't know how many times I've run into this but the hole in the wall restaurants have proven to be some of the best food experiences I've had. To be 100% honest I was surprised to pull into a strip mall parking lot just based off my first impressions of their website because it was super well put together and Yelp pictures. I ordered the mole con pollo (chicken in mole) and holy guacamole was that sauce FIRE. Very flavorful! The rice and beans were a great compliment as well but my favorite were the tortillas. They definitely felt and tasted homemade! I got a melon agua Fresca as well which was sweet and refreshing. I'm docking 1 star because the ambiance is definitely dive-y and service, while very friendly, was just so-so. Great prices, fantastic food.

    The thing I am pointing at is the bone

    I went here tonight and was frustrated. I ordered a big guac and instead got charged $6 for a guac container that was maybe 4 bites. I ordered the large and they gave me a small. This was whatever. I started eating my burrito and it tasted very good. Until about half way through I bit into a giant bone. I'm thankful I didn't bite wrong as this thing is very hard. Ruined carnitas for me. Will not be back.

    I absolutely love El Angel! It's a restaurant that can be easily missed if you're passing by and isn't promoted very much. I'd consider this a Mexican restaurant "hidden gem" in Springfield. Their food has always been delicious and their prices are very fair. Service has always been friendly and welcoming, although it can be slow. I think it can be slow because they take their time to prepare the food. I'm fine with it if that's the case, but I would like to see them come around the table a little more often just to make sure we don't need anything else (like a refill on something, condiments, more napkins, etc). We never come here if we're starving, because we know that it'll be a bit of a wait. With that being said, we keep coming back because it's worth it for the great flavor and quality of the food. I'm a bit picky with Mexican food, but I can say this has to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area, at least for breakfast. I haven't had anything off their lunch menu yet. One of my favorite things here is their coffee. It's "café de olla" and served on a traditional clay mug/cup. For those that don't know what café de olla is, it's basically "house coffee" that's traditionally brewed on a clay pot. It's supposed to be mixed with cinnamon and sugar. I'm not sure how traditional/authentic they prepare this coffee at El Angel, but it's good and hits the spot. Last time I went, I ordered the chorizo and eggs, which comes served on a big plate with beans and rice. The order includes a side of handmade flour tortillas as well! My wife ordered the chilaquiles and they were bomb! Although, pretty spicy. As you can see from the picture, it comes on a plate with refried beans and bistec (which is basically beef steak). Both plates were delicious! Everything I eat here feels home made as if someone's abuela made it....and most abuelas get down. I really recommend this place for anyone looking to have an authentic Mexican breakfast! Give them a try and see if what you think! Leave a review as well and let me know how good their lunch is! Things I Like/Recommend: - Breakfast plates - Handmade tortillas - Coffee ( café de olla) - Chilaquiles - Eggs and Chorizo or Eggs and Ham scramble - Friendly staff Things I'd Like To See Improve: - Service can be slow at times. I'd like to see them pass by the table more often to check on customers. - Carne Asada with breakfast is good but it's not "grilled" like carne asada should be. It's more like steak cooked on a skillet or on a pan. Still good though!!

    Yummy home style meals. Loved the chili oil and dried oregano on the tables for adding extra flavor.

    Everytime I come to Springfield, I stop here and have a couple street tacos,or I'll get a yummy…read moreburrito to fuel myself for the day. It's not much when you walk or drive by, but it's really the quality of the food that comes out. The employees that are there are nice and friendly, and they're super quick when making an order. I love this place and always look forward to coming for a visit.

    I came here with a friend last week. This place has been here forever, but it's the kind of place…read morewhere if you blink, you miss it. Parking is on the street only. There is no dedicated lot. I wasn't even sure they were open when we stopped by. It took a few minutes to find an employee. Once we did, he was kind and helpful. I ordered four tacos, and I forget what my friend ordered. But it wasn't an expensive lunch. We waited for what seemed like forever for everything to be ready. Walking around outside, the building looks like a shack. I'm not even sure there is running water inside. It has the same siding as the apartments behind it, so I wonder if it's ran by someone who lives there? Or if they cook in their home and bring it there? I have no idea. This seems very similar to Joey's Pizza in that as long as you close your eyes and don't pay attention to where your food is coming from, it'll be great. Food itself was quite tasty and enjoyable. We took ours to-to and went home. Seating is an outdoor table only. Which seems more appropriate just for waiting to get the food than to actually eat it there. Would I return? If I happen to be driving by and they're open, yes. I can't say I'd go out of my way to eat here though. But it was certainly tasty for a tiny little dive.
