    Absolutely amazing hidden gem of a restaurant. Food is spectacular and homemade. Got the dry asada burrito, soft taco, and homemade guac.

    Maddy H.

    Little restaurant on the side of the road, very good and the staff are so sweet. The food was delicious and they have a good variety of everything. I got the red chilaquiles with carnitas and it was SPICYYYY a little too spicy for me but I could see other ppl loving it. The chips were also just a bit soggy, but still good. My family liked the michelada and the prices are good. Would come again with my family :) the steak picadillo was really tender and delish too

    Green chilaquiles, beans, potatoes, carnitas (pork meat) and a fried egg on top. So delicious!

    Good food and good customer service; Lots of parking. However they do not take Apple Pay. They take credit card but they charge you to use it. They seem to prefer cash.

    The food here is terrible, don't get fooled by the name, the food tastes nothing like El Tepeyac Cafe in Boyle Heights. The meat and sauce smell like dog food ... i took 2 bites and tossed it in the trash. Beams smell foul cheese was old and the meat was bland. They have no business using the same name and same menu items as the Original Manual's. The Hollenbeck was awful.

    No meat

    Prices too high food not adequate couldn't offer me chicken in my taquitos meat looked burned salsa was watery &8.99 plus tax for two small taquitos

    Cheese enchiladas with rice covered in meat sauce! The bomb!.
    Céfalu G.

    I love coming here! Small hidden restaurant that serves great Mexican food. I've been coming here for over 12 years. I usually get this: cheese enchiladas with Spanish rice covered in meat sauce and a coke. Tastes great and looking forward to my next time here

    a plate of mexican food

    Located down the street from Costco in an area surrounded by industrial buildings, this tiny mom and pop spot has become our go-to for chilaquiles. Red or green, you can't go wrong. Service is always on point and they will refill chips and salsa to your heart's content. Over easy eggs mean no runny whites and tortilla chips still have a bite despite being immersed in the flavorful sauces. The sprinkling of cotija cheese adds a lovely salty bite, the crema has a cooling effect. The sides are just as satisfying. The diced potatoes are well cooked- soft with a good amount of crispy edges and the retried beans are creamy and delicious. Easy parking in the lot or nearby street parking.

    They make the best breakfast plates, I just had a huevos rancheros today it was magnificent, great flavor

    Horchata Ice Coffee
    Caroline E.

    Great Food! Great Horchata Ice Coffee. I usually have the chilaquiles and my boy friend the red wet burrito and we both love it! The portions are good and the price is decent for the portion you get. Green salsa has good flavor. Outdoor eating available but we usually pick up to go.

    Cosido
    Jacqueline T.

    Tried this place out for the first time today. This was the saddest cosido I've ever had. Exactly two pieces of meat, two carrots, and two zucchini. Where are the potatoes or the corn?? Definitely will not be back. Oh, and it was over $12, NOT worth it.

    Ole reliable for after school munchies and post gym fuel…read more I've gone here a few times with friends and myself. Service is standard and generally good, so I don't have much to comment on. My favorites here are their chorizo breakfast burrito for brunch and asada tacos. Their medium salsa is one of my favorites with a good amount of heat that won't kill me. Their horchata is heavier on the cinnamon side, so mix it up reeeal good and you'll have a good time. Thanks Spanglish for the yummy eats :)

    Uh, what pico de gallo??? I did not get ANY bro. If I got it on the side, why would I complain…read moreabout it then. Let me emphasize... i got NADA. I don't know where you packed the pico de gallo at but it wasn't in my take out bag. Also, your boy did not explain anything AT ALL.. he literally said "sure we can do that for you" and did not do that. And didn't even let me know that I'll get double rice. You say that you make your food fresh but not only was my taco dry but it was not warm.. nor was the steak. So either it's not fresh or it was just sitting for a long time. And we live pretty close by so it's not bc we didn't eat it within a certain amount of time. Do not try to make this blame on the customer, please. This isn't just me being bitter. This is me being honest. If you can't handle a few criticism, you shouldn't be in f&b industry. ---- I had high hopes for this place, but man.... they disappointed me REAL bad... We ordered the steak & eggs, asado enchiladas, and 1 al pastor taco. Came out to around $35.. For the enchiladas, I asked for no beans and asked if I can substitute for Pico de gallo. The guy said sure we can do that. But on the receipt, it said double rice which i thought was weird but I wanted to trust that they will give me what I asked. NOPE. It was double rice. I should have went with my instinct and called them out on it. If you can't substitute for pico de gallo, then just tell me the truth. Don't lie about it... like wtf? I will say, the asado enchiladas weren't too bad. But then we see the steak & eggs. Whatever you do, do NOT order that here. They only give you 6 thin pieces of steak and charge you $16. They also don't give you any utensils. As for the al pastor taco, the guy had asked if I wanted any sauce. I asked him if it already comes with it and he said yes. There was NO sauce whatsoever.. i don't know if the guy meant there was sauce for the enchiladas but why would he mean that while I was ordering the taco? And as for the al pastor, SUPER dry.... Idk why it also took like 20min for them to make the food... not even that much food. My bf and i are still hungry.. Gave this place a chance and sorry to say, but won't be coming back. Street taco spots are the way to go!

I ordered a rose pinot wine from the "Whites" section and apparently they did not have that wine so instead of letting me know he brought a pinot noir. It was impossible to get our server's attention so that I could ask about why I was brought that wine and to order a sauvignon blanc which was finally served just before our food arrived. Our meal was tasty and we enjoyed it. However, trying to get the bill to pay was another long wait. I was not happy with the service and so I gave the server a 15% tip. I received my bank statement yesterday and the restaurant added an additional $4 without my approval.

This time, it was a little after rush hour and I had 25 minutes to kill before an event down the block. I also had a mean hunger. It was hot, the event was a performance in a space without AC, and the idea of being hungry and hot was sort of daunting. So Chonitos it was. I asked the host if the kitchen moves quickly, because I needed to be somwhere. He said 'no problem' and seated me. Now I need to acknowledge that my request could be interpreted as annoying. I mean, me being short on time is not the restaurant's issue. But Chonitos was open to the task at hand. The space has a dark sports bar vibe. Plenty of folks enjoying their Thursday evening, drinking, eating and watching the screens. My server was Saul. He had a drink in my hand in less than three minutes and took my order the moment I was ready. Saul was very cool about getting me fed quickly. The food came out in less than 8 minutes, a taco enchilada combo. Just what I needed, homemade for sure, and both satisfying and comforting. A little corn cake rounded out the experience. I wolfed it down, thanked Saul for being supportive, then paid the check, and arrived early at my next stop. Chonitos is dope. Recommended. Good food, unpretentious vibes, and a neighborhood energy that is hard to find these days. Thank you so much.

    Date of visit: May 10, 2026…read more Selections: Enchiladas de Mole Experience: We had called on Saturday, aka the day before Mother's Day, to see if we could make a reservation, but were told to show up early and we will be seated regardless if our whole party was fully there. We were going to be there a bit before 11:00AM originally on Sunday since their website said 11:00AM, but Yelp said 10:00AM was when they opened. So my husband called on Sunday to check and they did indeed opened at 10:00AM. When we got there, there were already three sets of groups seated and they had to rearrange some tables for us since our party was nine people, which only took a couple of minutes to arrange. We were served complimentary chips and salsa as well as water as we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. I had quickly chosen my dish cause I'm a sucker for mole and there were only two options that had it, so I ended up getting the enchiladas de mole. The servers were great and the food was as pretty good too. I ended up taking leftovers home since I had eaten too much chips and dip before my actual food came cause the server refilled our chips on our end of the table like four times. The mole was pretty good and I wish there was more of it and didn't really enjoy that there was veggies inside the enchiladas since I think I was expecting more chicken than veggies inside. Not a big fan of beans, but they were pretty good with the melted cheese on top and the rice was good too. I definitely loved the decor they had and the designs painted on the walls because they eee so pretty and provided good photo op backgrounds.
