    Walnut and limón/lime
    Hugo S.

    Honestly guys what's not to like. The ice cream is good, and the paletas are good. For people talking about the stronger flavor of ice cream, keep in mind this is inspired by Oaxaca. The owner is from Oaxaca so for example the chocolate is more of a richer flavor. Matter of fact it tasted like a brownie with small chips. But the flavors are there. And dare I say just as good as any michoacana location. The service was quick and immediate. They recommended pairings for their ice creams. They also told my wife that they would advise adding the limón/lime flavor ice cream on top of the walnut ice cream as it's softer. I mean the attention to detail by the staff is unparalleled because they take a lot of pride in their product. There's ample seating inside and quiet during the week. Not sure how busy and noisy they may get during weekends or busy hours so keep that in mind if you don't like noise lol... they also have parking behind the building and overflow city parking in the middle of the street and side street parking. So parking shouldn't be an issue. It's better than having to pay for parking like Inglewood and Hawthorne. So if you're in the area stop and try them out you won't be disappointed.

    Nasty tasted rancid

    ordered a piña colada milkshake, and unfortunately it tasted old and almost rancid. I wasn't sure if the ingredients had gone bad, but I couldn't finish it because the flavor was so off. I've noticed that their smoothies and milkshakes are very inconsistent--sometimes they're good, and other times they're disappointing. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend them.

    Was excited to finally try Mateos and it was so yummy. Me and my friend enjoyed treats with way better prices than Michoacanas. Service was great and the location was clean with beautiful decorations.

    It's a classic sit down place with multiple tables and bench seats which gives the place a very…read morebeach sandwich shop vibe. Exactly as advertised on Google Maps I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwhich and a Diet Coke. They give the soda in the can so I recommend asking for a cup with ice. The food arrived pretty quickly and it looked stunning. The bread was toasted and had a nice brown color. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the crust was not flaky or falling off. The tomato sauce was served in a cup to the side. Which I really loved. The cheese was melted and mixed with the chicken so you tasted the sauce, chicken and cheese with every bite. I would come here again. P.S. I am always wary of getting chicken Parmesan sandwhiches because of the sogginess. Sauce on the side allows you to add it as you need, preventing the sandwhich from becoming soggy.

    We chose to eat at this sandwich place before heading to the beach, ordered two chicken salad…read moresandwiches, one lemonade and a chocolate chip cookie. I sadly never got my lemonade as they didn't give it to me and by the time we got our order I completely forgot about it. The chocolate chip was good it is topped with sea salt. The sandwiches though were not as good as I thought they were going to be. We did add in provolone cheese, but I didn't enjoy the flavoring of the apple butter and that the chicken was chunky. I'm wondering if I'd like a tuna sandwich from here instead. This place has indoor and outdoor seating- I did notice most people chose to sit outside. The customer service was alright. We would not be getting that sandwich again and possibly not visit again especially for the price.
