Wonderful food and truly good service, also very reasonable prices. I had the burrito de camaron al gusto 13.99, with spicy shrimp, enchilada style. Very good. My wife had combo 29 with two chicken enchiladas and beans a rice for 15.99 Also great. The selection of salsas was also wonderful and the atmosphere was clean and friendly. Wish we were closer so we could come here more. Recommend highly. read more

The food at this location is terrible! My girl ordered a Molcajete and let me tell you it was pathetic. The sauce in the molcajete was juice from the olla de Frijoles ! The meats were visually old and dry , the queso fundido was not even the slightest bit melted . My daughter ordered the chicken breast and it was so dry it cold have been chicken jerky . Beware before you chose to eat here read more

There is an old adage in food criticism that the best flavors often come from the most unassuming places. Mi Querido Apatzingán fits this mold perfectly. It is a restaurant that demands a compromise: if you are willing to overlook parking situation, you will be rewarded with some of the most authentic, handmade Mexican comfort food in the area. ​ ​The kitchen here is clearly operating with pride and tradition. The standout of the meal was the Chicken Mole Plate. Mole is a notoriously difficult sauce to master, often leaning too sweet or too bitter, but here they have found a beautiful equilibrium. The sauce offered a complex interplay of sweet and spicy notes that coated the tender chicken perfectly. ​Similarly, the Camarones a la Diabla (Deviled Shrimp) lived up to their name. They packed a punch with a heat that was assertive without being punitive, maintaining excellent flavor underneath the spice. ​However, the true heroes of the meal were the handmade tortillas. Thick, warm, and fresh off the comal, they transformed the accompanying rice and beans from standard side dishes into a memorable part of the meal. Using a piece of a fresh, handmade tortilla to scoop up that mole sauce is an experience worth the trip alone. ​The Atmosphere: ​While the food warms the soul, the environment leaves a lot to be desired. The dining room is on the smaller side and feels very intimate. This closeness is exacerbated by the acoustics; the music is played at a volume that makes conversation nearly impossible. If you are looking for a quiet place to catch up with a friend, this isn't it. You come here to eat, not to chat. ​The Logistics ​The struggle begins before you even sit down. The parking lot is exceptionally small, turning arrival into a tactical maneuver. I would strongly advise against bringing large groups or multiple cars, as finding a spot can be a headache. ​The Verdict ​Mi Querido Apatzingán is a destination for purists. It offers authentic, high-quality plates--anchored by those incredible handmade tortillas--but requires you to tolerate a loud, cramped dining room and a difficult parking lot. For the mole alone, I'd argue it's a trade-off worth making read more

I'm a usually like coming here but after this I stop coming here. I don't trust this place anymore. I warn everyone who comes here to inspect your food very carefully. read more

Wow mi Lindo Apatzongan! I was pleasantly surprised as a person born in Michoacan! The Chilaquiles Michoacanos were crispy, saucy and delicious. But their Aporreadillo left me speechless. Perfect meat scrambled with eggs,drenched in a spicy bold red sauce that had just the right amount of heat. Beans and rice were solid. Camarones Empanizados came with a spicy mayo sauce that had me asking for more. The Horchata was perfect as it was not too sweet and it just hit perfectly after every bite. Chips and salsa are complimentary. They are good though the Salsa lacked a kick but were still good. The Ambience was like a cozy Michoacan family gathering. The place was tricky to find not gonna lie. If you drive too fast you will miss it, so slow down both on the road and in life in general, and chill here for some real Michoacan flavors. I will definitely be going back! read more

My first time here for breakfast! I came here for the Menudo soup but unfortunately they didn't have it. So I went for their chicken soup instead since I was craving for something soupy. Service was great, however , what bothered me the most was the flies! I couldn't enjoy my meal because of the flies! The flavor of the soup was just ok , I probably won't order it again. I also ordered their tacos since it was taco Tuesday. The asada tacos were my favorite! Overall, I hope they will have their Menudo soup again since it was one of their popular dish! (And please fix the flies issue!) read more

First off, where has this place been hiding?! Seriously I have driven back and forth on Magnolia a ton of times and never spotted this little hole in the wall place. Very small lot, handicap spots in the front and then regular spots hidden in the back. Friends and I walked inside, waitress behind the counter told us to grab a seat - we picked a nice booth/chair table combo. She came and brought us chips and salsa and grabbed our drink order real quick. We got a chorizo breakfast burrito, chile verde con huevos, chilaquiles w/ rice instead of beans (which it says only beans on menu but they are nice to accommodate!) and a kids chicken tender meal. The waitress also served all our food with 3 bottles of house salsa , very spicy creamy green (jalapenos?), house red (mild), and tomatillo (not spicy). Prices are on point! Food was delicious and we were full for pretty much the rest of the day. We will be regulars for sure, this place captured our hearts !!! read more

Really recommend a lunch special. and whenever i'm in the south riverside area, always a good place to go.

I ordered the fried tilapia (mojarra) during Lent at Mi Lindo Apatzingán, and OMG it was so delicious! Crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The homemade tortillas were an absolute chef's kiss ...soft, fresh, and the perfect addition to the meal. The servers were super friendly and totally on it. read more

First time here, wanted to love it but my expectations were too high. The food was great. Tasted like authentic Michoacan plates. We first got there it took like 5 mins to someone to even sit us down. This waitress finally sat us down, I had a stroller so ofc we asked for a table and not a booth. We were tryna figure out how to set the stroller so it wouldn't be in anyone's way. Here comes the waitress with highlights, saying with an attitude "you can't put the stroller there it blocks the way " like we were tryna figure it out I'm a first time mom and this is why I hesitate to eat out. She removed the chair and looked so irritated so I asked my husband to switch the bassinet and put in the car seat in the stroller instead. My poor baby couldn't even napped comfortably. Then comes this other waitress with black hair and she was attentive to all our requests and did it so nicely. Really small place as well. Well while we're eating the women with highlights comes to the table and takes the salsa matcha and says it's not supposed to be for these plates basically and Walks away. Like what if we like it? Which she probably made it cause it was bitter af. At this end this elderly man came and started playing with his guitar he played baby shark for my 5 month old. Best part honestly . Highlights waitress needs some better skills read more

Ate twice in one week. I get the #7 combo. Two taquitos, cheese enchilada and chili relleno, with rice and beans. Whether eating in or taking out the portions are large and I usually get three full meals out of it. For the price, it's a really good deal and exceptionally tasty. To go orders come with a small bag of chips, salsa and a few chili sauces (red, green, etc.). Each entree has a distinctive flavor. The enchilada has an earthy smoky flavor, the chili relleno a fresh tart, the beef taquitos are hand rolled and filled fat with moist seasoned shredded beef. The rice is typical but the beans are really yummy. With fast food prices rivaling restaurant prices now, it's a much better deal to get the lunch specials or combo dinners to share here. Their quality is consistent. read more

This place is hopping busy with locals on a rainy Saturday morning! Our house was full of people so Mrs. Yelper decided to import some Chow for breakfast. Most of the tables were full, The waitresses were busy going back and forth to the kitchen bringing some great looking chow, and we got to watch all of it while we waited for our haul. My breakfast burrito was more like a potato sandwich, but everyone else loved theirs. So in the spirit of populism, five stars. PS. Apatzingan is about 10 minutes from my wife's home town in Mexico. Mrs. Yelper approved. read more

I went for lunch with my wife after raving about the Chile rellenos for weeks. I had eaten the perfect one when a group of us went weeks earlier. This day and not a busy day the food was disappointing. The chile was not cooked. It was hot enough to melt the cheese inside but otherwise it was raw. Crunchy, hard to cut or chew. Hard to explain the disappointment and embarrassment to my wife. Even the enchilada had a sweet sauce that wasn't savory or interesting. I still give four stars because the food has been so good in the past. I waited to send this review, hoping I might find better words to describe my experience. I still love the place and the service is top shelf. I'm certain I will be back but needed to tell the truth! Service-5 Food-4 Value-4 read more

The food has always been good at this location, but unfortunately, the waitresses are rude all except for one.*the girl in the morning is nice and helpful but they other two two girls literally so rude. I had to put her in her place and remind her that her job is to have customer service and if someone needs help with a menu, she should be able to explain it without laughing in their face and looking the other way rolling her eyes and throwing a menu on the table and leaving and saying she'll come back when you're actually ready and know what you want . I know that if I worked in customer service, especially as a waitress, I would make sure that I do my job correctly and not think that I'm better than others.. yeah I was a little petty and left her a $.69 tip so she could F herself. How are you gonna be rude disrespectful impatient, but expect everyone to be patient towards you not speaking English smh .. read more
