If you're looking for an authentic taste of Mexican food, this is the place to try! From simple…read moreasada tacos to delicious wet burritos and everything in between, you really can't go wrong. They even offer some keto-friendly options, which is a great bonus. Hands down, this is some of the best Mexican food in the Palmdale area, and I highly recommend giving them a try! To start you off, they serve complimentary churritos and/or house-made tortilla chips. Their red and green salsas are both packed with flavor and are some of the best! My go-to order is the wet burrito with either asada or cabeza, but honestly, all of their proteins are delicious. Everything tastes fresh, authentic, and made with care. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, from the owners to the employees. You can tell they take pride in their food and making customers feel right at home. If you haven't tried this place yet, give it a shot--you won't regret it!

We had visited once before for dinner and loved the food, so when we needed a quick breakfast before work, we knew exactly where to go. We arrived around 9 a.m. and were greeted right away with friendly smiles. The restaurant was very clean, and we were told to sit wherever we liked. We ordered the menudo, a sopes plate with rice and beans, and a breakfast burrito. They also brought complimentary chips and salsa to the table. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The menudo was especially delicious and was served with fresh cilantro, onions, and lemons. The sopes were excellent, and every dish tasted homemade and well prepared. What really stands out about El Mora is the service. Everyone who works there is friendly, upbeat, and welcoming. Our waitress checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, and we never felt rushed. The atmosphere was pleasant, with great music playing overhead. Although the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, within about 15 minutes it had filled up, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Excellent food, excellent service, and a very clean restaurant. We will definitely continue coming back whenever we're on that side of town. Highly recommended!

After spending the day at Willow Springs Raceway, it has always been a tradition to eat at Baracoa afterwards for the past couple of years now. We all love their dishes. The oxtail is raved about, service is always excellent, vibes are great esp on live music nights. This time around, we had a slightly larger party since there were more of us at the raceway this day and we were excited for our friends to finally try Baracoa. We've always had maybe 1 or 2 dogs with us and so we'd sit out on the patio. These dogs are quiet and obedient. They just lie under the table at your feet and are never restless & never beg/bark/whine. Since we had a larger party and now 3 dogs with us, maybe it drew more attention? Our waiter said that he will have to ask the boss if it's okay that we have dogs since usually it's policy to not have dogs on the premises. We were so confused since we've been coming here. The boss/owner/manager, I can't remember exactly his title, came outside and let us know that unfortunately, pets are not allowed, even on the patio. We were all taken aback with nothing to say except having dropped jaws as he was walking away. Before he completely left our sight, we asked when that became a policy since we have always been here with dogs. He said it's always been a rule and cannot speak for his employees and the decisions they make when he's not there. He goes on to state that the pets are unclean and that he has customers. In that moment, I thought, "What are we then? Have we never been customers?" With a firm tone, he asked us to cooperate. It would have been a different kind of feeling if this boss had said ANYTHING along the lines of, "We would love to have you back to dine with us, but please without your dogs." This interaction felt like major rejection, hate towards pets, and to just get out immediately. We had already ordered 3 cortado frios, which I always think is to-die-for here, and that will be our last sips from them. It was also way more sweet than strong this time, sadly. We will not be returning to this establishment.

I guess now chips will not be brought out until an order is made. Okay fine. After we ordered we were given 2 small chip baskets and 4 salsas. We asked for more chips and were told they no longer give chip refills, we'd have to pay. Our server told us no other Mexican restaurants in the AV give chip refills, which isn't true. The chips wouldn't have been such an issue but we were only given 2 small baskets for 10 people (7 teens and 3 adults). Anywho, the experience, tension and how we were talked to just left a bad taste and made it so we don't want to go back.
