    Asada Burrito

    Great service, food came out very fast too! Our server was kind and made sure we had everything and came back to double check our order too. The inside is small but cozy. I got the asada burrito and my boyfriend got the sopa plate. Everything was delicious! Will definitely come back, as well as recommend it.

    Had to go back for some more! This time I bought my kids and they give it a 10/10 We ordered the chilaquiles Verdes plate but added asada and enchiladas plate with chicken.

    Birria Quesataco Plate, Quesadilla Plate

    My boyfriend and I are new in the area and found this little hidden gem recently. The food and service are amazing, they made sure we were well taken care of . We were immediately greeted and tended to, we loved this place and definitely will be coming back here again.

    It was an ok place. My first time coming here, not sure I would come again. We ordered the breakfast huevos a la Mexicana plate, chile relleno plate, a wet burrito and three keto shrimp tacos. Chile relleno was ok. Burrito was great. Shrimp keto taco needs more crunch and more shrimp, they were stingy with the shrimp. The Mexican eggs needs major improvement. It had way more onions than anything else. It seemed like I had a whole onion and one egg. when I informed the waitress she said "oh sorry about that" and walked away then when paying I asked the cashier for a discount she said "but did you eat everything?" I answered "no, we didn't eat everything because it was mainly onions!! We left half the plate." She didn't say anything and charge me full price. Then after she charged me, she mumbled "well. I guess on your next visit we can give you a discount." There won't be a next visit. appropriate thing to have done was to give a discount or some kind of compensation. plus not to mention they charge for chips + a processing fee!! Crazy!!

    My new go to place... been looking for 3 months now for a place to eat when I work in town. I was welcomed right away, my order was taken and food came out quickly. Food was delicious and enjoyed every bite, they gave me an extra side of grilled onions that just made my day. The music definitely brings it all in... allowing you to feel like at home eating delicious food I ordered a taco de pastor, a carnitas sope and lengua mulita and loved it all! It's my happy place

    I'm giving it a 4 but there are a few things that would have made it a 3.5 if that were an option....Positive note! The food was good, i got the Birria taco plate which was really good & my baby got the chicken quesadillas which she liked(and she LOVED the beans and rice from my plate lol). My only complaint is they only offer can sodas so we both drank water(not the biggest deal) but an fyi also no complementary chips and/or salsa...and the waitress put the dirty receipt clipboard inside my to-go container (so gross lol). I'd come again...

    I died and went to birria heaven. It's here. I found it. It's a humble restaurant in Palmdale serving the best damn food ever. I grew up on Mexican food in the suburbs of Dallas and I was almost brought to tears on how good this food is. The portions are perfect and everything is made is love and attention. You won't regret this one, I promise

    My parents are some of the best Uber delivery drivers in the area so they know most of the restaurants in town. My mom suggested El Mora for dinner and I was very impressed by the service and most importantly the food! When the queso birria taco craze hit LA I had a few here and there; including the Disney California ones which are severely overrated and overpriced. I almost drove back to Anaheim to ask for a refund after trying these authentic, savory and delicious queso birria tacos. I was upset that any other business fooled me into thinking that theirs were the best. I should have known better of course, the best anything never gloats or boasts so I knew that this small family owned business was going to be great when I walked in. It's very hospitable, you feel like you're going to eat at your Tias house. The meat is juicy, tender, and very flavorful. They're also huge! So one was enough for me and I saved my second one for the next day. I can't wait to visit again and try something else from their menu.

    We love this place! The owner is the best, she's literally the sweetest lady. And the food here is amazing. My all time favorite is the birria plate. My boyfriend is a huge fan of the burritos and the tacos. The salsas are tasty, the coffee is fresh and hot. The interior design is very cute as well. Parking is also very convenient since it's located in a strip mall.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

It is all made to perfection and there is not one thing we don't love. For about $32 dollars you can get Havana Bites, it is a taste of some of their great items. It comes with Beef & Chicken Empanadas, Papas Rellenas, Platanos Fritos and Yuca Frita all served with Rico Sauce, which is so great. All of their empanadas are great and you can get just one or a bunch. We often get some to take home. The Papas Rellenas is so good and so nicely priced. It is two mashed potato balls stuffed with Cuban picadillo, then breaded and fried to perfection. I love potatoes so I love to get this. We also take these home. They heat up so well. The service is great and they are very friendly. Parking is easy and there is not usually a wait. I am not sure if they take reservations, so call them and check. The place is comfortable and pretty.
