I had high hopes for this place from all the cool social media videos. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. The French toast was ok 7.1/10. I got the steak and chilaquiles and order the steak medium rare. It came well done and chewy. If you go try to be very specific with your order. I also noticed the waitress came in around the time we were leaving. Maybe we got there too early. They did have the football games on. read more

1st and last time. The service to a Long time, chips n salsa are $5.00, we never got water, they ran out of Modelo & cucumber Fresca drink. Some of the food was Luke warm/cold, like the beans and mole sauce was cold. Bathroom had no paper towels and when we told one of the girls she said "I know"‍‍.... We got there around noon, by the time we left at 2ish no one else had entered read more

Saw a couple of posts on Tik Tok so decided to try this local spot. Small place, parking lot is tiny so parking is an issue. We sat at the bar, not the warmest or friendliest welcome. We ordered nachos with arachera, huevos rancheros and papas con chorizo. We also had the Jamaica margarita and another drink with mezcal and OJ. Food was all good. Drinks were excellent. Place was clean. The only issue was the service. Not friendly, not welcoming and there were gaps. Because the food and drinks were so good, we may give it another try. read more

Really enjoyed the service and food, Atziri great customer service, great music!!! I highly recommend this place

By far the worse experience I have had. First it took 7 minutes for the hostess to acknowledge us, then 20 minutes to sit down to a half empty restaurant. The server was not helpful, after asking about the status of our food he never came back with an update and walked past us about 5 times. 1 hour in and still no food, no apologies for the delay the server was just standing around. Half empty restaurant, 3 servers and 4 staff in the bar area and yet the service was bad. Too much standing around and not enough service. Will not be coming back to this place ever. Do I recommend?, absolutely not. read more

We arrived Sunday morning, waited to be seated. Then waited another 10 minutes for our waitress to finally arrive. We were starving so when she finally arrived to ask for our drinks, we also wanted to order our food. However, the waitress said, "No, you have to wait until I bring your drinks first". I literally responded, "but we're starving". She said "You would still have to wait until I bring the drinks". I have NEVER been told at a restaurant that I couldn't order my drinks and my food together. She then took another 10 minutes to bring one coffee and finally place our food order. Also, I ordered the Dubai French toast and they were completely dry and burnt from the bottom side. I ate them because i was starving, but they were not good. The place wasn't even that crowded to neglect their customers this way. We will not be returning. read more

I came here on a late Friday afternoon and it was luckily pretty empty so parking wasn't an issue, and neither was being sat down! I tried the mango con piña agua fresca, it was really good and I felt like a great value for the price! As far as the food, I ordered a carne asada plate which was good! The only critique would be the size because I felt the portion was too small since I left still being hungry. The Dubai French toast looked really good though! Lastly, the service was pretty good! Overall, I had a good experience here and would come back! It had a calm and chill vibe, more casual. read more

Service was good very considerate it was a guy with glasses forgot his name . The queso fundido bomb the belly pork bites were good . They should add a wedge a lime to them . The steak and chilaquiles look better than they taste . I ordered chilaquiles divorciados and the taste was mediocre. The sauces should be thicker to give a better taste read more

We got here a bit too early as soon as they opened about 10:05am ish :D so things started slowly. Service: 4/5 server was great because she was knowledgeable and was very nice (said she was from Monterey) Vibe: brunchy AF and may be more for the drinking crowd since they do offer various deals Food: 5/5 so good, portions are generous, benedict egg yolk was perfect bc if you know you know, and free coffee refills!! Music: not too loud and great mix of banda and reggaeton *wish they offered a mixto of the cafe de olla & regular coffee because the cafe de olla was a bit too sweet according to my aunt* Overall, I'd definitely go back! read more

I visited tonight with girlfriends for Bolero night a musical group that played and although we didn't have reservations we got lucky with a table. Unfortunately there was long delay to take our order waited like 25 minutes then to actually get our food and drinks another long wait our serve explained they had an issue with a bartender calling out so hence the delay. Food and drinks where good. My overall rating is for our server Emmanuel he was very apologetic to our long wait and experience and he was very kind and attentive once things became manageable for all staff, we where very patient but heard and saw other not be so patient! My suggestion to owners is have sufficient staff on hand to attend to your customers especially if you are hosting an event Like today valentines bolero night, the price of our food and drinks should also reflect the experience we receive. read more

Food was alright. Menu for breakfast very small... Presentation 10/10 but taste wise was not good.. chicken was very dry.. beans & rice good & chilaquiles.. Service was okay our waiter forget several things including getting a full meal which the person in our party directly ordered to him... mind you it only had 2 other party's when we arrived.. wouldn't come again. read more

Walk in only to wait for 10 min before anyone takes your name on the list. No hostess so you literally stand there till they take your name down. Very un organized. I believed the hype was a bit disappointed. Order the chilaquiles it was ok nothing special from other chilaquiles. The cafe de olla was not bad. Only to be told they ran out of it and they dont do refills so i would have to purchase another one. Been to many places that serve cafe de olla and never charge for another coffee. I did enjoy the vanilla late that was brought to me as ordered that. Waitress literally had us waiting for the bill only for someone else to bring it to us. Try it for yourself I wouldnt go back any time soon. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We came here for my friend's 21st birthday and it was hands down one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. First, my friend called ahead and made a reservation for 21 people. We show up, and they only had room for 18. Instead of accommodating properly, they threw together a makeshift L-shaped table that was cramped and uncomfortable. This place required a $25 deposit per person and a pre-selected meal--we followed all of their rules. But before we even got to order, they demanded an additional $48 per person UP FRONT just to eat. What kind of scam is that? When we finally did order, a few people (only 3!) changed their meals. Instead of communicating with us, they blindsided us at the end with a full extra plate charge per change, which added up to almost $80 for food that wasn't even served. They charged for plates that never came! The "bottomless mimosas" and chips/guac couldn't make up for how terrible the food was--bland, unseasoned, and absolutely not worth the price. I've had better brunch at a diner. To top it all off, one guest threw up near the bathroom (because there's only one bathroom per gender and it was occupied). The staff immediately tried to charge us a $200 cleanup fee, which we negotiated down to $100. And here's the kicker: as we were leaving, a few of us went to use the restroom and saw that a worker was already disinfecting. So essentially, we paid $100 for nothing--they already had an employee handling it as part of their job. In the end, they squeezed every last penny they could out of us, ruined a milestone birthday celebration, and treated us with zero respect. Do NOT book this place if you have a large party. Do NOT book it for brunch. Do NOT waste your money. There are far better restaurants in LA that will treat you with respect and actually serve good food. read more

We came here with a large group of 20 people to celebrate a coworker's birthday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Despite paying a $25 deposit each in advance, our table wasn't ready when we arrived. The staff tried to seat us at 4 small tables that realistically only fit 4 people each, leaving us cramped and uncomfortable. Our server was rude throughout the time, and when a few of us changed our orders, we weren't informed of any price changes. Instead, we were surprised to find $80 charges added for each additional plate, without explanation or consent. On top of that, one person in our group wasn't feeling well and unfortunately got sick near the restroom. We tried to clean up and take care of her ourselves, but the restaurant still added a $200 "cleaning fee" to the bill -- which felt unreasonable given that they serve bottomless mimosas and should be prepared for situations like this. At the end, the bill was already $48 per person, but we were charged an additional $300 in unexpected fees that were never communicated to us upfront. Overall, the lack of transparency, poor service, and hidden charges made this a very negative experience for our group. We won't be returning and I wouldn't recommend this place for large parties at all. They cannot handle big parties and need to be realistic with what they can serve. There's no issue if they can only do parties of 10 or less but it felt like a money grab and scam at the end. I paid a total of $73 for chilaquiles and bottomless mimosas, and potentially an additional $27 just for switching it from their classic breakfast plate which would have made my final cost $100. read more

Maclovia - Dubai French Toast - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Got here and stood at the front. No one greeted me, I asked for a table, was given and told to wait. 15 mins pass. Still not acknowledged. My friend asks, and also told to wait. Shortly after our 15 min wait we are seated. Told we could only order drinks initially and they will come back for food orders. Told café de olla is out and will take 10 mins. Then order food. Given apps, no silverware, no napkins. Given these undercooked potatoes. Immediately said, these are not cooked, please take back. They return after they appeared to be lightly tossed in the pan and returned to our table, still uncooked. I understand being short staffed, but you can still be polite, acknowledge, apologize, something. read more

How I am barely running into this place so close to Home beats me. Came here for the first time on Friday and was greeted very nicely by the server and owner of the place (I think) beer was nice and cold, wings were night and hot! The ambiance inside is nice and welcoming, they have TVs all over the restaurant for sports. Live music on the weekends. They also do brunch so you will definitely see me back soon! Prices are more than generous. Small parking lot available but a lot of street parking is also there. It's on a main street. read more
