    Ceviche de camaron
    Manny D.

    Came here for lunch today. This was a local yelp find from work. It's a nice little clean restaurant. There wasn't very much people there at 11:30am so service was good. As you may have read from other posts I'm not much of a seafood person, but my wife loves it. So I settled for their very limited turf items. I think they only had carne asada tacos. They were decent tacos, tasted like homemade tortillas and flavored chuck steak. Def not worth $4 ea. My wife enjoyed the ceviche she said it was fresh, flavorful and as u can see plenty of it. They also gave us a bunch of tostada shells to go with the ceviche. We will def come again.

    Shrimp ceviche, agua chiles en salsa negra the best 10 /10

    I really recommend this restaurant. I have tried few dishes. The ceviche is really delicious and the camarones rocas are too. The micheladas are the best! Best Mariscos in town. Very nice staff very good customer service. I really recommend it.

    Oysters, Camarón ceviche
    Shirl S.

    Had a nice lunch here. Ordered the camarón and pescado ceviches and Micheladas, it was delicious- fresh, tarte with generous portions! Several salsas was served to us, all had great flavors with different heat to your tasting and complimentary. Great homely place.

    They let us get one for free so that's a plus

    Food was ok people were the same,they let us get mints for free so that's a plus. Quesadillas were good but oh boy, very small. The music is ranchera and loud which makes me feel uncomfortable and I think people that wants good sea food shouldn't submit to listening to music that's not for everybody.

    $3 salsa negra

    Spent $75 on 3 tostadas, asked for a side of salsa negra.... waitress said it was an extra $3... we paid it and got this tiny thing. Definately not worth it, considering we had already spent as much as we did. Oh yeah and pay over the phone if you want your order to be prepared ahead of time.

    Delicious miches

    Bomb food.. I recommend their michelada recatada... soooo delicious. Will come back soon

    El Mitotero

    Good clean and music from the musician who walk around the tables asking if you want a song.. the service was good and fast. The food was good and fresh. The portions are a good size

    Campechana!

They have great music playing and art thru out the restaurant. They also have a patio in the back for bigger parties. It's a cute open patio. Thank you Ashley for such great service, attentiveness professionalism. The owners were very sweet, polite and attentive. Great and humbled owners. One of them who is the chef also came out to take a picture with us while the other owner shared a story with us of one of his paintings. Great Mexican gem.

For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful.

We ordered the food and we got it fast! I was surprised how quick it came! It was good Mexican food. Not great but good. All in all, it was a good place for a sit down dinner with drinks.

My favorite appetizer are the Molletes which are toasted bolillos with chorizo and bean spread topped with cheese and pico de gallo. My favorite plates are the Carne en su Jugo, which is pork in green chilli sauce, and the Albondigas beef meatball soup. The soup is plentiful and doesn't disappoint in flavor. The meatballs are tender and have a perfect flavor profile of herbs and spice. Honestly, nothing disappoints here. The Pollo in Mole is also delicious. The tortillas are fresh and hand made. The Pollo con Rajas is creamy, cheesy, flavorful and the chicken has always been juicy underneath all that sauce, cooked perfectly. I've also had the teak tacos and they're filling, tasty, and a perfectly compliment to anything you will order. The sides are usually rice and beans and they've always been perfect. The rice is soft and the beans are addicting. Javier is always warm and friendly, he does an amazing job with his restaurant. He tends to his patrons wonderfully and deserves all praise, as well as his staff. They compliment the small dining area and make you feel like you're eating at home or with family. I'll gladly continue to eat at Rajas con Crema every time I'm in town. Parking is street parking so it can be iffy. Thank you so much for the fantastic experience!

Service is attentive, the food has its charm with in-house made tortillas. It really was a hard review to write because all the elements of a great restaurant is embodied in this hidden gem. I chalk it up to ordering the wrong items. The flavors did not pop for me. Hubby opted for the chorizo and he said it was decent and he described it as "diet chorizo"--that he'd probably needed to go back to Sinaloa to capture the true essence of "real" chorizo, the way it's meant to be. The star of his meal was the in-house made flour tortillas-now that's authentic! This is/was the reason that it leaned towards a 4 star. These looked and tasted phenomenal. The aroma took me back to the times when we visited Rosarito's Puerto Nuevo, as the lady made the tortillas by hand & pressed them in the comal, ahh, good times. I ordered the vegetarian omelette with beans & potatoes. The omelette was decent with fresh bell peppers & onions but the seasoning was so mild that I requested for salt & pepper. The potatoes appeared well seasoned in color but lacked that oomph that salt & pepper couldn't fix. My apple pancakes were average. While I appreciated the strawberry compote, there was no apple or apple taste in them. To wash everything down, I had cafe de olla, that was good. The aroma of the brown sugar & cinnamon was ever present. Estrella, our server was very welcoming, attentive and friendly, she gets 5 stars for her service with a smile & hospitality. Their lunch & dinner menu looked very appealing but we wanted breakfast items. We wish we were both molé enthusiasts then perhaps we would've better appreciated & enjoyed those offerings. Both indoor & outdoor seating (front & rear), parking is free & shared with their liquor store at this corner small plaza. Beware, no restrooms available. I'm glad we gave this little shop a try.
