    La peor quesadilla que he probado en mi vida .

    Pedí una quesadilla de asada para mis niños y me trajeron esto! Decepcionada , el servicio bueno peor la Comida no pasó .

    Con el Guapito

    Food is really good. I had the chilaquiles the first time i ate there. The second time I had the pozole. Both were a good size plates well served, really good flavor and prices are affordable. The cafe the olla is really good and they have refills. Service is great, all servers are really nice, and they ask often if you need anything or refills. The owner is really nice , he makes sure you are well served. Ambience place is colorful, Mexican theme, open, clean. I like the place and they have a lady that will sing and play any of your favorite songs. I really recommend this place.

    First time at this restaurant. I'm an early riser, so it's hard to find good restaurants open early. This place opens at 8am! Service was excellent. The waitress was attentive and made suggestions. I ordered the chilaquiles rojos and my husband ordered the huevos rancheros. Both dishes were plated with beans, home potatoes, a chile "toreado" AND a quesadilla! My husband's also came with tortillas. First of all, the chilaquiles were crunchy and delicious! The red sauce is tasty and not spicy! The beans taste homemade and NO LARD! The quesadillas are filled with Mexican cheese, tasted like machengo cheese and seriously the tortilla was a little crunchy which made it even nicer with a little crunch. However the star on my plate were the potatoes! And for the record, I'm not a big fan of potatoes. Most places under season or under cook them, but these potatoes are PERFECT! They are covered in a savory tomato base salsa that's rich and peppery. I can't explain it, but please try them when you visit. For drinks we had cafe de olla and a chamomile tea. Love that they have these too options. We don't live in the area but will be making the trip to go back!

    Riquísimo! Vibe: comfy, casual, Mexican, authentic Service: 5/5 very attentive Food: 4.5/5 Courtesy chips and salsa started off well because the salsa was goooood.. we finished it quickly My plate was the chilaquiles and they were fire. Love that it came with a quesadilla Cafe de olla great Points taken off because the syrup was really thick it took awhile for it come out of the bottle *my mom came back the following Sunday and ordered menudo.. she said it was so good like if she made it* Overall, really great and delicious! I recommend!

    We had a really pleasant experience in our first of many visits we will be making. We walked in and were greeted by very friendly and attentive staff. The decor and ambience made us feel like we were visiting family in Mexico, and the food tasted homemade! We each ordered orange juice with our breakfast and were pleasantly surprised it was freshly squeezed, adding to the homemade taste of our breakfast. We had the chilaquiles rojos and costillitas de puerco en salsa roja.

    Such a lovely restaurant with good service, food and atmosphere. They even have a stage for what I'm guessing is some performances. So cool. The parking is in the back.

    Cafe de olla

    Came here on a Saturday morning for our first time. The place is a little hole in the wall but they offered great service and amazing authentic Mexican food. The cafe de la olla was delicious.! The pozole was sooo tasty.

    Food is very good and portions are very generous. El agua de pepino/limon con chia is so fresh and tasty. It doesn't taste machine-ish it tastes freshly hand made. The green chilaquiles were spicy, tasty and satisfying. The pancakes are def better than ihop and dennys. The male server was very nice too. I love that they have GRADE A which means The restaurant is clean, up to code, and free of violations, seeing that makes the place more inviting. Oh and who ever makes that salsita they serve with the chips it's top notch. Bien picosita. Leaving with a full tummy

    Went in for Mother's Day with the family. They had karaoke so it was extra fun. The plates are served generously. I ordered the costillas and chile relleno plate. It was delicioso! Will be returning very soon

    If your on a budget or wanting something quick and easy I can recommend this place a thousand percent the staff are so friendly and the restaurant is always clean and the workers make you feel at home and treat you like family. I've been here so many times and the food never gets old and always taste so home made and great. The ambience is so nice and you don't feel cramped or stuffy and your always treated with respect and I can say this is one of bell's hidden gems, such a small city and yet rare places like this that are so great. Si tiene un presupuesto limitado o desea algo rápido y fácil, puedo recomendar este lugar al mil por ciento, el personal es muy amable y el restaurante siempre está limpio y los trabajadores lo hacen sentir como en casa y lo tratan como a una familia. He estado aquí tantas veces y la comida nunca pasa de moda y siempre sabe tan casera y excelente. El ambiente es muy agradable y no te sientes apretado o sofocante y siempre te tratan con respeto y puedo decir que esta es una de las gemas ocultas de Bell, una ciudad tan pequeña y, sin embargo, lugares raros como este que son tan geniales.

    The menudo is so delicious I want more ! Not fatty whatsoever and smelly . One of my favorites of all time . I also tried the birria which was just as great . The service was outstanding - warm genuine welcoming smiles all around . Thank you guys for making us feel at home and wish the best .

    Another Eat the World LA Find…read more La Casita Mexicana -- another Eat the World LA find that did not disappoint! I first visited while I was in the area with my best friend, who is also half Argentinian like me and does modeling as a hobby. She had just finished another successful photoshoot on the Eastside of Los Angeles, made great connections, and got some amazing content. It was getting late, and we wanted to start heading back home toward the freeway, but we were starving. We both love food and get the munchies now and then, but we also wanted to celebrate her latest milestone, so I suggested La Casita Mexicana. The ambiance was like stepping into a little casita in Mexico -- bright, colorful, vibrant, and welcoming. The staff were friendly, too. We tried an appetizer and shared the Enchiladas Tres Moles. Granted, I've never had truly authentic mole, but I've had versions of mole that were not good. The mole here, however, was out of this world delicious. Even the mole that came with the dinner chips as their "salsa mole" was fantastic. I remember thinking, I feel like I'm experiencing Michelin-star-level food in the middle of the LA barrio. And honestly, that's the beauty of the barrio. There are culinary diamonds all over Los Angeles -- you just have to give them a chance and be willing to try somewhere new. I've since returned with my boyfriend, and the food has never disappointed. For a little personal context, I'm half Argentinian and half Mexican. Although the Mexican side of my family is from Guadalajara and Sonora, I didn't grow up eating Jalisco-style cuisine, so exploring different regional Mexican cooking has been especially fun for me. It's always interesting discovering flavors and traditions that are part of my own heritage but weren't necessarily part of my upbringing. La Casita Mexicana is definitely one of those places I'm glad I ventured out for -- and another successful Eat the World LA discovery.

The chorizo was a bit too salty for my taste, but the cecina more than made up for it and honestly was my favorite of the three. The carne asada was solid too, cooked just right and full of flavor. Before the food even came out, they brought us chips with mole, and those were perfect on their own, a worthy palette opener while we waited! Service was great the entire meal, our server checked in often without hovering and made the whole experience feel special. For a birthday dinner with the family, it was just right.

My favorite appetizer are the Molletes which are toasted bolillos with chorizo and bean spread topped with cheese and pico de gallo. My favorite plates are the Carne en su Jugo, which is pork in green chilli sauce, and the Albondigas beef meatball soup. The soup is plentiful and doesn't disappoint in flavor. The meatballs are tender and have a perfect flavor profile of herbs and spice. Honestly, nothing disappoints here. The Pollo in Mole is also delicious. The tortillas are fresh and hand made. The Pollo con Rajas is creamy, cheesy, flavorful and the chicken has always been juicy underneath all that sauce, cooked perfectly. I've also had the teak tacos and they're filling, tasty, and a perfectly compliment to anything you will order. The sides are usually rice and beans and they've always been perfect. The rice is soft and the beans are addicting. Javier is always warm and friendly, he does an amazing job with his restaurant. He tends to his patrons wonderfully and deserves all praise, as well as his staff. They compliment the small dining area and make you feel like you're eating at home or with family. I'll gladly continue to eat at Rajas con Crema every time I'm in town. Parking is street parking so it can be iffy. Thank you so much for the fantastic experience!

The meal started with complimentary chips served alongside both a sweet mole and a savory, tangy mole sauce. It was something I'd never experienced before, and it was incredibly delicious.

Service is attentive, the food has its charm with in-house made tortillas. It really was a hard review to write because all the elements of a great restaurant is embodied in this hidden gem. I chalk it up to ordering the wrong items. The flavors did not pop for me. Hubby opted for the chorizo and he said it was decent and he described it as "diet chorizo"--that he'd probably needed to go back to Sinaloa to capture the true essence of "real" chorizo, the way it's meant to be. The star of his meal was the in-house made flour tortillas-now that's authentic! This is/was the reason that it leaned towards a 4 star. These looked and tasted phenomenal. The aroma took me back to the times when we visited Rosarito's Puerto Nuevo, as the lady made the tortillas by hand & pressed them in the comal, ahh, good times. I ordered the vegetarian omelette with beans & potatoes. The omelette was decent with fresh bell peppers & onions but the seasoning was so mild that I requested for salt & pepper. The potatoes appeared well seasoned in color but lacked that oomph that salt & pepper couldn't fix. My apple pancakes were average. While I appreciated the strawberry compote, there was no apple or apple taste in them. To wash everything down, I had cafe de olla, that was good. The aroma of the brown sugar & cinnamon was ever present. Estrella, our server was very welcoming, attentive and friendly, she gets 5 stars for her service with a smile & hospitality. Their lunch & dinner menu looked very appealing but we wanted breakfast items. We wish we were both molé enthusiasts then perhaps we would've better appreciated & enjoyed those offerings. Both indoor & outdoor seating (front & rear), parking is free & shared with their liquor store at this corner small plaza. Beware, no restrooms available. I'm glad we gave this little shop a try.
