Aguas frescas
Yosmar J.

After about 4 years of not coming back to this place I decided to visit to grab their aguas frescas, a cake, and some guacamole and I have to say this place has drastically changed. The employees are extremely attentive, the place almost looks like a mini Mercado and everything is nicely organized. I thought the aguas frescas weren't really good and had a bit too much sugar for my liking but everything's else was delicious. They offer many fresh and on the go meals.

Gonzalez flour tortillas so good

I love coming to Northgate! They carry fresh sweet bread daily, meals and deals. Now if you are looking for fresh marinated meat, fish and chicken this is the place. I always come here to get my fresh seafood. If I have a taste for fish, haiba or shrimp ceviche they have it. They carry all the salsas you can think of- oh yeah all the cheese can also be chosen at the deli. You looking for tamales they got them! Fresh vegetables and fruits as well for a more reasonable price then Ralphs ( my other fav store) The service clerks are fast but remember that depending on the day it will be packed and the lines are long.

Aguachiles
Page M.

I looked through Yelp for hours looking to see who had the best ceviche / aguachiles that deliver but it was almost 9pm so everything is closing down so I walked to northgate because I've never been failed by northgate, my brother and i grew up going to this market getting tamales, tacos, burritos, agua frescas & groceries. My favorite agua frescas are maracuya (passion fruit), strawberry milk, melon, & piña. The best tamales are carne asada, chile peppers & cheese & chicken (verde salsa). The yellow mangoes are the best ones. I sampled a few agua frescas to check its sweetness because it's usually watered down by the end of the day but all the drinks was bussin. I sampled the camarones ceviche & aguachiles, the aguachiles is more spicy than the camarones ceviche which is more my speed. The ceviche shrimp bites were more rubbery and still grey color. The aguachiles shrimp were pink/red from the lime in the aguachiles and the taste was more tangy, it's so tasty and refreshing. I ate the aguachiles with tortilla chips and Doritos tapatio chips. I eat tamales with sour cream (el salvador brand) and guacamole salsa from northgate. OMFG IT BUSS!!! it was still packed in the store towards closing but the employees are helpful and attentive. Love them so much !

Disappointing! I bought this cantaloupe a couple of days ago and it's not ripe and flavorless.

Disappointing! I bought this diced cantaloupe a couple days ago and when I had a couple of pieces it was hard and without flavor. Unfortunately this is not the first time I've had this happen to me, but from now I'll buy my cut fruit from somewhere else.

Ordered half a pound of carnitas..and got almost half of that of fat! Las cochinadas que venden.

Very fresh and great selection. Good meat hot and raw. Also had hard-to-find specialty ingredients. We will be coming here regularly.

La Villa Mexican Food Restaurant - Chips and salsa

A friend from church shared La Villa's family takeout special with us, and that's how we discovered…read morethis little gem! We decided to stop in after church and give it a try. The restaurant is small, but we were able to get a table in the back corner. It was a little snug, but honestly, our hunger was more pressing. First up--the chips and salsa were THE BOMB! That salsa was so fresh, flavorful, and had just the right kick. I could have--and pretty much did--drink it. They also brought us a bowl of beans topped with crema, and my kids were practically fighting over them. My husband and kids ordered burritos: two steak, one chile verde, and one chorizo. They were a good size and were instantly devoured, which is always a good sign! I ordered their $11 special: an enchilada, chicken taco, beans, and rice. It was flavorful, filling, and straight-up OG Mexican food. I really enjoyed my entire plate, especially for the price. My only complaint was the noise level. We had a speaker directly over our table, so the music was pretty loud, and the table next to us was a little loud as well. It made conversation a bit difficult at times. But all in all, we will definitely be back! I'm so happy we discovered another Mexican restaurant to add to our rotation. Now, La Villa... I just need that salsa recipe! I need a few cups so I can drink it! I loved learning that they've been around since 1969.

We came for the first time and were confused by the menu. We had a family of 4 so wanted to order…read morethe family pack. Was told that was only for to-go. Ended up ordering burritos, tamales, enchiladas, hard and soft shell tacos, etc. - Tamales were the best. Meaty carnitas - burrito was next best. Meaty, not too much filling. I'm from NM so love the wet style. It bugged me that you have to pay extra for Christmas style. Who really likes getting charged for a lick of sauce? How much does that sauce really cost the business? Look, I walked away and I still remember you wanted to charge me some nominal fee for the sauce. I told my friends. Now I'm telling my friends on Yelp. The owner should read up on pricing psychology. He probably doesn't want to be known as the guy who charges for sauce, is my guess. - Chicken taco was a nice size and tasted ok - enchiladas were mid Salsa is only free for the first 2 servings. Even for a table of 4, that bugged me. Again, he's known now as the guy who nickels and dimes. Sigh. Ambiance is dark inside like a pub. It would look more modern and family friendly with more natural light. As most would expect out of a restaurant. We came here during a World Cup game. The game was on. That was a plus We were thinking of coming back to order the family pack. Then no one at home would charge me extra for the salsa. ha!! I read just now in another review that this place charges for hot water. Ok then, the owners is STRIVING to be the nickel and dime people. Yelpers are talking and people are listening. Do yourselves a favor and reverse these dumb pricing practices. You'll never know the business you are losing for the $2 here and $3 there. It's never worth it!

First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me. There are a few handicap parking spots available in the small adjoined parking lot, with easy wheelchair access through the front door. There is also plenty of parking spots located on the street and in the available parking lot located in the middle of Hawthorne Blvd. There is a television with captions on for those that are HOH, hard of hearing. Being a hearing aide user, I sincerely appreciated this. I consider this a hidden gem in Hawthorne.

Licha's is closed Tuesday, open Mon to Sat 9a to 630p and Sun 9a to 5p. Both Yelp and Google have incorrect times.... which is why I could not make it before. Also, look for parking on the street, the parking lot is tiny. Any case, all of Licha's staff (owners?) are sweet and friendly. I felt at home immediately. Now about the food! and coffee, both are excellent. The Cafe de Olla is fantastic.... I almost never get coffee outside my home but when I come here, I WILL! For my first time here, I had the menudo with all the fixing. What I loved the most is that is all meat, no hominy to fill you up. I LOVED IT! Almost like my Mom used to make. The Tortillas ARE HOME MADE. They were excellent. See the pictures.... I finished everything, including the fixings (onions, fresh lemons, limes and cilantro. Btw, the house salsa is good but the habanero version is DELICIOUS but VERY HOT with excellent flavor and texture. Yummm. Because I was do full but still very excited to be here, I ordered 3 Al Pastor tacos with everything. I can hardly wait to eat them when I get hungry again. All in all, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Licha's. Don't miss out. Just remember to park on the street... they only have three spots. And don't blink, the place is tiny.
