Homemade tortillas and the horchata was awesome and small spot can serve maybe up to ten people. Everything $15.73 and can't beat that. Remember cash only spot. The service was great it feels like home kind of thing. I was here during my early lunch break for work. Great spot and menudo is not heavy or greasy just perfect. read more

My very first Huarache. That's not pronounced Orache, not Arache but Wa-rache. So says the dude I ordered from. It's an oval sope, about 1 1/2x bigger. And pretty awesome with al pastor. The carne asada was fine but the al pastor was much better. My niece kept interrupting with comments like, "I love Mexicans", "These things are just amazing", "My dear, sweet uncle. I wish I was a fat as you so I could cram another half dozen of these awesome tacos down my throat'. Well maybe I invented that one but they were pretty terrific. Friendly service, VERY low key vibe. A cool, off the beaten path hole in the wall. read more

We eat menudo from this place every weekend! It's so delicious! The handmade tortillas and the frijolitos mmmm mmmm mmmmm

This place has decent food and accepts credit Cards (which is a plus). They made handmade tortillas (which is always a plus ). Down size it's really small (not good for kids). No bathrooms (poor sanitation). The workers DONT NOT wash their hands (the lady who took my money, cooked my order) which our washing her hands. Not sure how fresh their hands are. read more

El Jayamitla - Poor sanitary environment - Mexican Near Me - Sylmar, California

What a rip off. Food is ok. Only reason I go here is because I'm lazy to go down to Foothill and look for a good place. Ordered a burrito mojado. Had maybe 4 bites with meat on it. Got charged nearly $10 for rice and beans. I gotta stop being so lazy. read more

I've only been here once, ordered a burrito de chicharron. The lady that made my food heated the rice by putting it in a plastic shopping bag and throwing it in the microwave. I tried the food anyway, but I should have known better. Chale! This place is terrible! Don't even bother. Even if you're too lazy to go anywhere else. read more

This is my favorite place to go for a homemade style meal when I'm missing home!! The food is so fresh and rich every single time and not to mention how kind everyone is. I first discovered this place when I was walking home back in 2016. I haven't gone anywhere else for Mexican food since. When my family comes and visits it's our tradition to eat here. Thank you guys for being awesome! read more

Great little place to eat. Good Mexican food!! Have been eating there since they opened. read more

Sorry but this place lacks flavor. I was not impressed the first visit. Went back two more times and got the same results. Nice employees but the food just doesn't do it for me...& IT'S WAY OVERPRICED for the quality. read more

Had a chicken and steak burrito. It was pretty good but its a bit pricey @ $5.50 for a average sized burrito. They only take cash! also, I was there last week and it was so hot and humid inside, I dont know if they have AC. read more

Gave it a try for the first time last month for their Menudo best I ever had. Since then we been coming back for the menudo every Sunday. Nice little restaurant.

El Jayamitla - Sunday morning menudo Worth the wait !! - Mexican Near Me - Sylmar, California

I hate to give them only 3 stars, but that's all they tasted to me. It's totally off the beaten path, so right away, i'm excited to see a bunch of people inside. People seek it out, so it must be good. They advertise tortillas made by hand...and they do...with the help of a machine...so it's not totally by hand, but it'll do. Great, i'm thinking, this place is legit. I ordered 2 tacos al pastor and 2 tacos carnitas, paid my $6 and waited. Didn't take long to get them and off i went to trek home and chow down. I'll start with what i didn't like first, which is the al pastor. It was large chunks of pork and they weren't that tender, so i was feeling like i was choking on them. The pastor flavor was weak, too...although there were nice stewed onions throughout. It just didn't taste authentic to me. The carnitas, on the other hand, were good. A little dry as they were reheated on the grill top, but very tasty. The tortillas were good, the tacos themselves were a nice size, they gave me chips and a couple cups of hot sauce which were good. I wouldn't go by here on purpose again, but i wouldn't drive past it if i were in the area...although i would avoid the al pastor. read more

I love this place it is such great customer service, always very clean and friendly. The food is amazing and great quality, in my 15 years of coming here never have I experienced anything bad with their food, service, or prices . Highly recommend this place if your craving Mexican food ! read more

Found this piece of steel wool in my overpriced menudo. So very disgusted who knows how much I've already eaten and if i have this to my child read more

This place is terrible, I ordered two combos basically rice and beans and a Chile relleno. How do you charge $25 for rice and beans is beyond me. So I paid a sat in my car and had to think about it. No meat at all and $25. Is way to much. I waited about 15 mins I was their only customer. Now I know why. Customer service is not what these people are about. I had tri tip and ribs with two sides and bread the night before at Rosies and it came to 20. 67 . So I went back in after waiting quite a while to pick up this expensive food and it still was not ready. So I asked why rice and beans were so expensive, no meat at all was ordered. How could it cost this much, I understand we are all going through rough times but not to the point of ripping people off. If I cooked it myself it would come to about $10 and I would have feed a lot of people. Anyway the woman behind the counter got an attitude. At this point I just asked for my money back. I did not want to wait anymore than what I have already waited. And decided I wanted my money back so I could leave. This woman told me no money would be given back to me. SHE TOLD ME NO REFUNDS. She said they had cameras. I told her good, you have not given me any food and I want my money back she said NO. At this point I said I was going to call the police. That's when she decided to refund me. THIS PLACE WAS DIRTY, NO PRICES ON THE SIGNS! BAD ATTITUDE BAD SERVICE I eat out everyday. This is unacceptably wrong all the way around from prices to higiene to service. Beware! read more

Their hand made tortillas are the best! I highly recommend their menudo as well. However, I haven't tried any of their other food..The environment is ok & the staff is super nice. Definitely plan on going back. read more

this is by far the best menudo in town!! ive tried literally all menudo in town! tortillas hecho de mano also!!

First time in there, food is disgusting customer service terrible, so expensive and restaurant looks old I won't never go back again!!

I don't get why a majority of the reviews here say that this place is homestyle Mexican food or one of the best places in the 818. this place is fricken horrible! no flavor, bland, and it's hotter then hell because lack of A/C. this is not traditional Mexican. if it were there would be tons of Mexican flavor. there food is Mexican Irish. read more

6$ for a quesadilla, I think not! Eat here three years ago and didn't like it. Walked in and ordered 2 cheese quesadillas and the cashier said 12$. I said that was ridiculous and walked out. If the food was any good I would of aid it. Will never set foot in this place again. read more

Great authenticate "Hole in the wall" Mexican food Love their Menudo with hand made tortillas!

This is really hard for me to admit but I've eaten here three times this week, I don't think my body can take it. The first time I ate here I was looking for an easy breazy burrito fix which I got until I visited recently and spent nine bucks on a burrito. 9$ on a burrito in sylmar?! Oh hell nah! (Even though it had cream and guacamole sauce on top, still) I wrote this place off until I tried their huevos rancheros, which is my favorite meal in the whole world. The beans are too greasy and the rice not the greatest but I'm willing to overlook it all because of huevos and ranchero sauce, they nailed it. For that alone I come back even though cash only is such a pain. read more

This is the Best menudo, Hand made tortillas are included and make the meal that much better.

Best menudo ever, served w/hand made tortillas. It's the bomb with their spices. My family's favorite menudo spot

This little home style restaurant is awesome. The people who work there are nice too. If you are in the area stop by for some authentic cuisine. read more

This has been the best restaurant I've gone to in ages I recommend this food to anyone. The food is Mexican and it's so good. The waiter name Gloria is so good and she takes care of the costumers and the owner is smart for hiring her. From now on I'm gonna eat there if I want Mexican food. Eat at this place it's the best. read more

This place is good. I tried their burrito mojado and it was delicious!!! The salsas are soooo good!!! Staff is very friendly, welcoming, and they prepare your food right when you order it. I hate that they only take cash but nonetheless, I will be coming again :) read more

My son was buying asada nachos and this lady who was preparing then was licking her fingers so my wife was watching from the window and she went to the lady and tell her that she saw her licking her fingers and preparing the nachos and she say yes but it was only the cheese what I was licking stupid lady read more

This place is HORRIBLE!!!! Not only is it over priced but the food sits there all day long in food heaters. I've been there a couple of times because of the convenience with the location. Both times I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and both times was charged different prices. Usually around $6. Kinda pricey for a burrito without meat. Anyways, the second time I ordered my burrito to go. I got home, opened the salsa they gave me and poured it all over the burrito. I took a bite only to realize the salsa was spoiled. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. I wrapped my burrito up took it back to the restaurant and gave it back to the lady explaining what had happened. She said she had just noticed and had already thrown out that batch of salsa. I was so pissed. She didn't apologize or give me my money back. I will never go there again. STAY AWAY!!! For the mission college students looking for good Mexican food in between classes there is a much better place on Hubbard and Gladstone in the yum yum donuts parking lot. Food there is AMAZING. read more
