    Sopes
    Lance H.

    I had to come in for menudo but saw sopes being made. I just had to try them and ordered a asada and carnitas on, oh and my menudo. Well I got home and found out I over did it! The sopes were HUGE! Well now I have food for 2 days, service is always excellent and the restaurant was slow when I got there! Yum, will be back again soon.

    burrito wet green sauce

    Burrito was good and service was really good the chilaquiles mild sauce (green) were good and decent portions ! the burrito wasn't greasy ! it was good and full as well

    Menudo
    Luis R.

    This is the place to go when Menudo is what you're craving, among the vast array of freshly prepared mexican dishes. A hole in wall place west of the city of El Monte. this place offers great tasting food, which most of it is prepared when ordered. As soon as you come inside the restaurant, the kitchen is right in front of you with staff cooking up food and greeting you at the same time. They offer alcoholic beverages as well like beers and micheladas. As well as soft drinks and aguas frescas.

    Menu with new prices. I thought my dinner was supposed to be around $15, my bill was 24.. confused ..how much was that big drink??

    Foodie friends recommended this place Very friendly helpful service from lady at counter. Friendly owner too. It's called El Taquito so I should have ordered the taquito platos combination. But I got the chile relleno instead. I always get chile relleno in every new Mex place I visit...no matter what...the plate was a feast for the eyes, lots of delicious sauce...scary how many sliced jalapeños but no seeds so not spicy....looking under the chile relleno was not whole or breaded, it looked roasted and not clear if it was stuffed...looked to me like the pepper was sliced or shredded but definitely the stem was in evidence. A puzzling dish as the taste of the sauce was good but couldn't tell if the cheese was inside the nearly absent relleno or simply melted on top along with the blanket of sauce. 3/5. The rice was flavorful, fluffy 4/5..I liked the frijoles 4/5 but it was a small portion like the size of my palm. I got three corn tortillas, hot to touch, and chewy which I liked. 5/5. The combination also came with salad with radishes and sliced tomato, cut lettuce. I could tell if there was a dressing or not. 3/5 Next time -- order what my fellow Yelpies recommended...the wet burritos, the menudo, or the tacos....or their namesake.. taquitos. But pass on the chile relleno. Oh - the Jamaica was good, and the cup was gigantic!! Nice balance of sweet and tart. I never got a check so I just walked up to counter. I rang up at about $24 before tip...the menu said the chile relleno was about $15, so just how much was that big drink? Note to self, get a cheque next time, so I wont pay then walk away confused about the prices.

    Best wet burrito in town! Go for the chile enchilada red or the green verde sauce or half and half! Both excellent! This long standing hole in the wall provides regulars and locals some of the best Mexican food at the best prices with generous portions! Always super busy with folks taking out burritos, requires, enchiladas and even breakfast and menudo. Family second generation ran with super friendly service! They make everything from scratch and their flour tortillas are so delicious! They also serve a variety of Mexican beers at Great prices. Counter service with small dining room. Best Mexican in the area!

    Menudo perfect flavor and big portion so yummy.

    Mojarra frita plate
    Mo C.

    I told my dad we can anywhere he wants for Father's day. He picked here because he was craving menudo. He is a regular. They had seating. They came and served us fast. I got the mojarra frita plate. It didn't disappoint. The fish was a great size. Perfectly seasoned. The fries aren't frozen. They're perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was so much food. I couldn't finish it. The rice had great flavor too. My dad and his girl were happy with the menudo. It was a good portion. They give tostadas with 2 homemade chiles. My wife got the popcorn shrimp plate and couldn't finish either. Excellent service, prices, and food. We will definitely be back.

    Burrito
    G G.

    Went over there earlier and ordered a burrito. The burrito is large in size, and the taste is good. The service was excellent, and they were very kind. The ambience and vibes were great.

    Menudo and pozole with agua de piña Food was delicious..

    If you love authentic regional Mexican food, El Ruizenor Grill is an absolute gem. This is the kind…read moreof small business you feel good supporting--deeply rooted in tradition, made with care, and run with heart. Deborah, the owner, is incredible and truly passionate about sharing Oaxacan cuisine the right way. You can feel that intention in every dish. The guacamole is fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced--simple ingredients, done right. Their Oaxacan horchata deserves special recognition: lighter, more nuanced, and less cloying than the typical version, with a flavor profile that feels thoughtful and refreshing rather than overly sweet. This was also my first time trying chapulines, and it couldn't have been a better introduction. Knowing they're sourced directly from Oaxaca adds so much meaning to the experience. Earthy, savory, and surprisingly approachable--an authentic taste of regional tradition that you don't find easily. El Ruizenor Grill isn't just a restaurant--it's a cultural experience. If you appreciate food with history, integrity, and soul, this spot in Temple City is a must-visit. I'll absolutely be back.

The only bad thing was that it tasted more like a can of tomato sauce. It wasnt spicy at all. Very bland. The chilequiles with rice and beans were good except that the cook made my eggs well done instead of sunny side up. They looked like pancakes on the bottom of the egg. Anyways, loved tge chumpurado. The best I've had in a long time. They serve it in a cute coffee mug. Overall, not bad. I may go back for the presentation and price
