The tortillas earn most of the stars here. The facilities are a little gross...sticky tables and seats, flies all over the place, grungy bathrooms loaded with graffiti. It's tough to get a seat; we came in well past the lunch hour and the tables were full. We had to wait to get a table, and there's only 2 floor waitresses and they're busy. The chile verde was only so-so, and the rellenos also were only average. But the tortillas are fresh, hot, and substantial. You can load them up and they won't give out on you. You go there for the tortillas. Kids had beans and rice and quesadillas, they were pretty happy. Salsa and Pico were tasty too. Just too bad they can't make the facilities nicer. They do a roaring to-go trade though...maybe that's the way to go so you can avoid the icky tables and numerous dirty flies. Oh, cash only, and make sure you speak Spanish. :) read more

The menudo here is amazing. Can't beat the whole handmade tortilla thing. Service isn't always up to par, but they are most certainly just pumping out food, I don't recall anyone ever just standing around. If you're craving mom's food but mom ain't around, this is the place to go to. CASH ONLY, no glass bottled soda. read more

It never disappoints. The food is always amazing and the freshly made tortillas always steal the show. If you show up later in the morning expect to wait awhile and the service can be slow but the food more than makes up for that. read more

I feel like I'm eating at my grandmas house ! It's just too good man can't go wrong with the tortillas echas a mano

I've been coming back since my last review and amazingly they have been improving in their speed when it comes to acknowledging customers and taking orders. For the record, I've also had their sopes with beef & chile verde, asada quesadillas and asada tacos which are delicious. Again, everything homemade. Oh, and their lemonade is awesome! Love this place!!! read more

This is a very authentic Mexican restaurant. Always friendly environment. The tables are now bolted down to keep them from moving around the room. The prices are very fair My favorite is the costillas. Yummy!!! The place needs a face over that's why I'm giving them the rating. read more

This place use to be good in the 90's now is just crap! they take to long, and if you go in a group you all will be eating at different times and make sure the lady taking your order doesn't forget about your order read more

Based on their menudo, this place is just okay. The broth was a little bland, the salsa wasn't spicy and they don't have Tapatío. But the tripe was cooked well and our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Overall though, I don't think I'll be coming back here. read more

Not worth the visit. The asada plate was tough and overcooked. The horchata was good though. There was no flavor in the soup dish and the tortilla got cold fast. read more

We moved out of the state about 13 years ago, and every time we're in town we know that we have to stop. Although parking and seating isn't ideal the food is so worth it. The loud sounds inside the restaurant are cut by the señoras making yellow corn tortillas by hand. It's such a beautiful sound. The menu is short- but really you won't miss anything else. Place is cash only, but all these hinge aside you'll leave a very happpy camper and a happy belly. read more

I Love This Place, So Good The Service Is Fast I've Been Coming To Eat Here Since I've Been Small Now I'm 24. Still As Good As I Remember. Thumbs Up. read more

The service takes a long time but the food is great. My family swears by this place. The serves are not so friendly but I get it some customers can be rude. read more

Love the Chile verde been coming here for years best mexican food in the valley if your looking for home cooked meals Lenchitas is the place to be read more

i know nothing about mexican food but as an asian i'm used to eating just about any part of the animal and a friend from mexico city recommended the menudo here. the menudo was served a slice of lemon, some chopped onion, oregano, homemade tortillas and two types of salsa. following my friend's lead, i asked for an extra slice of lemon to squeeze into the soup to raise the acidity. also added a significant amount of oregano. i thought it was great, but i also enjoyed how the flavor changed with a bite of tortilla depending on the amount of salsa/salt added to the tortilla. go with someone who speaks fluent spanish and you'll probably get better service. read more

This place has it all great food and even a norteño that comes around....make sure to tip the music aint free. Anything you order in the menu is above average Mexican food. Tortillas done by hand you cant beat that. read more

Best Mexican Food around, very authentic and worth the wait. I had a quesadilla that was delicious. My only issue is that they close early! But will be coming back read more

Service here is slow and horrible but the food is delicious! I will definitely come back for the food! You seat yourself and have to flag down the 2 waitresses working on a busy Sunday morning. There's one menu sheet for the entire restaurant's patrons to share so you kinda have to wait for it to pass you by. But like I said, the food is delicious and worth the bad service! Come hungry because you'll definitely need extra space in your belly for the delicious menudo! read more

Whenever me or anyone I know is sick, I always get me/them soup from here. The long wait is worth it.

This restaurant is bad although I don't expect much from a simple mexican restaurant i hated this place the last time I went here I had the same waiter come back 3 times to tell me we didn't have any item I ordered so I ended up eating just s plain quesadilla with chicken because they ran out of steak but still had no flavor the only thing with decent taste is the cheese and handmade tortillas So 1 star and I dont recommend anyone coming here maybe if you want bland and flavorless food but other than that nope. read more

The menudo was off the hook and the hand made tortillas were a perfect pair , the service was good and the staff was friendly . It's cash only so come ready . Also order the agua de piña it's good read more

The most authentic homemade meals they remind me of the ranch back home in Mexico. This establishment has been around for decades and has always provided the most delicious soups and house meals! Come and and enjoy this respectful service and outstanding food! read more

Lenchita's is a good place to buy fresh out of the oven tortillas. They make different varieties of mexican dishes. Good size portions. The place is clean.The only horrible thing about Lenchita's is the service takes a while. So if you are not a patient person I would recommend you to come here to eat. Lenchita's always has parking spaces. The restaurants has specials. Lenchita's been around for as long as I remember is the place to go eat with the family. You can also enjoy eating alone or with friends. Especially the handmade tortillas go well with any dish. You can't go wrong with Lenchita's it even has a pick up food. You can order your food and pick it up. Just remember bring money because they don't except any credit cards. Make sure to ask any questions to the workers about anything concerning you like your health. Don't hesitate to ask the way you want your mexican dish just be respectful when you ask. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant. I have been coming here as such a young age! After all these years they finally have A/C issue I hate is it's not organized at all you have to basically rush to get your own table & the waiters take forever to get your order. Overall the waiting problem the food is delicious read more

Love the gorditas and caldo De pollo. But service is slow and it's always pack in here.

Mexican foods taste so delicious. Also the price for all food and beverage are inexpensive. I've been visit Lenchita's about 5 or 6 times so far, because i live in Bay Area and visit my friend in LA and offer me to attend to the Lenchita's and very amazing good ever I have. Service and servant are very classy and very polite. I am looking forward to come again and eat there again. read more

All I have to say is BOMB food. Always hits the spot! The tortillas echas a mano are just

Hidden gem in san fernando valley. You must try if you are here in town. Everything is simple but delicious.

Food is amazing, service needs major improvements. Other then that this is one of the places in the valley you can eat authentic Mexican food. read more

All the staff were extremely rude, as you walk into the restaurant the workers just walk past you. There's no system, just walk in and sit down and eventually someone will come over and ask what you want. You sit down and like an owl you must turn your neck 180 degrees because the huge menu is right behind you. There is limited sitting and the tables are very small and get cleaned with a wet rag but remain sticky with a weird smell. The food takes a really long time to get to your table. There are 2 bathrooms and they are very nasty, similar to a park's bathroom with a foul odor and there's a lot of graffiti. The only positive thing about this place is the food. Honesty, not worth it. read more

if you grew up in pacoima, or worked in the area...this is the place to stop by & get some grub! i'm not a meat eater, so i always order the veggie burrito, or the quesadilla, and always order a coke! the corn tortillas are to die for! it's kinda cool to order your food and check out the posse in the cooking area whipping up some homemade tortillas. it takes me back to hiking those many miles in tijuana with my family to pick up some tortillas at the tortilleria, and bring them back wrapped up in kitchen towels....awww the memories! i've spoken with a few people who cruised through the area and they all seem to be familiar with this establishment. sooo...if you're ever in the 'hood stop by and fill up, you wont' be disappointed. ~cheers! read more

Firme food just like Abuelitas ! Pakkas !!!Best....the best tortillas a Mano and menudo

This place has amazing food! What beats everything else is the great tortillas, try them once and you'll fall in love. I've tried the pozole here once which they usually don't serve and it was no good. The champurrado is delicious! The service isn't very good but the food compensates for that. read more

This place is Bomb .. if your ever in the PacoimaHills must hit spot .. the Birria with hand made tortillas .. the best in town...

Absolutely love this place!!!!!!! Been coming here since I was in my moms belly!

I'm seriously not lying when I say that these are the best tacos you'll ever have. I have cravings for these tacos when I'm up in Norcal. Homemade tortillas, good meat, and cheeeez. Ugh, kill me now. I want some. Go here. No go to other places. read more

My bf likes coming here the food is okay the service is horrible don't wait to be seated or greeted find your own seat and then wait 25 mins to be acknowledged and then another 10 for someone to take your order .the waitresses are rude and unorganized .i hate coming here the service is the worst and there's always flies everywhere !!!!! read more
