NOT THE SAME OWNER! Try to one across from this place !! It's the same food and better quality.

THE BIRRA WAS NOT GOOD. At allllll! I'm so disappointed, it seems like the birria just tastes like water as well as the rice and beans. Service was alright but the food was just terrible. No type of flavor. read more

Food is delicious, staff is very nice and attentive. Don't get fooled by copycats trying to claim this business by using their name. The original had to move one spot over from their original location, but food and quality remains the same. read more

We decided to try them out this weekend while visiting my husband's family since they're always mentioning this place. The place is spacious, and you can fit your whole family plus your compadres and even the neighbors ... Food is well portion and have a very rich taste. I opted for the Huarache and barbacoa tacos for my kids . My husband on the other hand went with the consome and 1/2 pound barbacoa. I enjoyed my first time here and we will definitely be back. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and I never once had a problem. Today's experience has been one of the worst. Here is not about keeping the customer happy it's about whatever they want and what is convenient for them. They were rude & did not accommodate our needs. We did not ask for a lot it was a simple arrangement of tables and they made a big fuzz and made us put them back. Keep in mind this place is a garage made into a restaurant that has movable tables. After the incident the vibe was just weird & no one wanted to come check on our table when we were just being calm and nice about the situation. Very disappointed, last time we ever come here. So sad since I've had lots of great memories since I was a kid. Update: it was not the waitresses fault, it was the owner who made a fuzz. She was trying to help but owner said no (what we were told). She also didn't serve us any refills throughout the whole lunch. Update update: the waitress was so mad because our flan was hard & we wanted to buy another one. Lol I must say we thought she was very cool but she was actually being sarcastic with us. read more

Honestly this is one of the best hidden gems in souther Cali. It doesn't look like much since it's surrounded by a lot of vehicle shops. The pansa blanca, barbacoa, and consume were delicious and full of flavor. Of course you can't eat any of this without their fresh hand made tortillas. The bathroom is dirty and the place looks a bit sketchy but the kitchen does looks kept and clean. Usually you get the best chow at holes in the walls. And this one did not disappoint. Makes sure you check it out if you are in the area. read more

If you give this place anything less than 5 stars, yo moms and yo daddy is hoeee!! The first time I heard of this place it was under the table. I've watched it succeed until what it is now! I'm extremely overjoyed for their success and I hope this place keeps on prospering. My family is from Morelos, Yautepec. This place brings me back to my families delicious food! They need to make tacos acorazados and then we're really talking! Their consume, mole, sopes, cecina, EVERYTHING is A1!! I remember they use to sell ice cream de limon. I wonder what happen to that. They definitely need to bring those nieves back as well. That was the only place they also sold ice cream like my moms hometown. Ugh I miss it! Other than that parking can be a little hectic especially over the weekend but they kinda improved it a tad bit. Being here gives me México vibes. On certain holidays they have entertainment going on and other times on the weekends as well. Seriously Mexico vibes all over. I LOVE THIS PLACE! If I can give it 100 stars I would! read more

Restaurant Onofre - Consomé y cecina - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

I only gave it one star because it wouldn't allow me to review without it. This place is terrible! If you are looking for a stomach ache...feel free to order anything on the menu. Came here because its close to home and it seemed to have many people looking to park to eat here. Well, thats because they really only have like 10 parking spaces. I ordered the huarache de asada. Boy was i surprised when i got a piece of cardboard with crema and queso on top. It tasted like an old deep fried tortilla. The cardboard looking tortilla was places over a thin piece of meat that looked like beef jerky and tasted very gamy...and salty. Not even my fork was able to cut through either. I didn't end up eating it because it was disgusting. I then thought, maybe i ordered the wrong thing. So, i decided to order the barbacoa. Gross! It was too dry to be barbacoa or even birria. Meat was dryer than $&@t and had a splash of red color on top. I tried dressing it up with the dry cilantro and hot sauce. Epic fail! The cook couldnt even make this taste good. Lastly, the place is cash only, but if u wanna save yourself some money, be able to find parking, and enjoy a good meal...this is not the place for you. Seek elsewhere. read more

Barbacoa, Cesina, and consomé are the main dishes, and they also have the basic Mexican bites tacos & burritos. The barbacoa is really juicy and tasteful especially when you add salsa de mole. The cesina has a flavor that makes you feel like your at home (Mexico). The Consome is really favorable and enjoyable. During the weekends you can eat and enjoy live music outdoors and on certain dates they have shows (imitators). There is a lot of space to accommodate family and friends. The parking is secured and is next to the restaurant. It's a Cash only but there is an ATM. Service is outstanding but always double check your order before you leave and you can call to pre order so it can be ready when you get there. The best bites of Mexican food are here "Onofre Restaurant." read more

While driving south of 105 freeway on Alameda, you may find this tasty gem that serves Authentic Mexican food that is tasty and super affordable.

I came here with my family, food was good we found parking fast which was nice because parking area is small, yes it's cash only but thankfully we had cash. Horchata was delicious! read more

Had the red mole it was delicious. I typically have the barbacoa with the red mole salsa and freshly hand made tortillas.

I remember coming here as a kid with my mom and it is STILL GREAT! My personal favorite is the Pancita although I have had the Birria and it is equally delicious. Super authentic Mexican restaurant that still serves handmade tortillas made on the spot! Also, where else would you try a SALSA DE CIRGUELA !? the only place I've had that sauce other than my home is Here! You have got to check it out get a half pound of each meat and enjoy with some hand made tortillas! read more

What a horrible experience. The food was cold and over priced. I only went to this dump because I seen them on Restaurants.com. They refused to honor my $15 coupon and kept insisting that my coupon was fraud. This place is for ppl who can't afford to eat at a real restaurant. Save your $$$, avoid this dump. read more

Okay, you want an authentic Mexican experience, then this is definitely the place to come. Their food is awesome and it's a very authentic ambience. I had to asada plate and the meat was tender and tasty. The tortillas were made by hand and sooooo good. Wait staff is pleasant. Really like coming here here. read more

This place is like going back to Mexico , authentic mexican food. The slopes are so bomb n fresly handmade tortillas. CASH ONLY. The portions are a good amount n I believe underpriced. Staff are always friendly . The place is also clean. read more

This place is truly AMAZING. I'm from Arizona and I miss my family's home cooking. There's specific things I crave that aren't on the menu. All I have to do is ask if they can fulfill a specific craving for me like green beans with eggs and it wasn't a problem. My wish was granted. It was DELICIOUS and everything I expected. Their service always makes you feel WELCOMED and their environment makes you feel at HOME. THANK YOU ONOFRE read more

My parents have been coming to this restaurant since 2002 when they started the business in someone's home. I love it here! Best barbacoa !!

The food it's great but sitting waiting on my food there mice running around the restaurant that's Nasty I was unable to eat and for my bad luck it was my first time here :( that food made me very sick I had to go to the hospital last night. I told the cashier that there were mice she was like I'll let the manager know I threw away the food but never ask if I wanted to get my money back plus the dont respond nasty restaurant read more

I bought two orders of chicken enchiladas to go that were extremely salty. Side order of rice was old and hard. Refried beans did not taste like beans. Caldo de res had chile. Those of you who like Caldos, What restaurant have you gone to that adds chile to a Caldo without telling you. Never ate at a restaurant who sells Caldo with chile. Who does that. Especially without warming customer. 30 plus dollars down the drain. I've never posted a review because I could understand a piece of the food that might not taste good, but this place omg everything was awful! You been warned read more

Restaurant Onofre - Nasty salted enchiladas going to the trash! - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

I've been frequenting this place for almost 10 years. Hands down the best barbacoa and chivo you can get in LA....ALWAYS moist and delicious. The mole salsa and dinner plate sized tortillas really make it five star eating. I've also had their quesadillas and sopes and they're always fresh and delicious. The service is warm a friendly and my kids love the fountain in the back. Weekends have had some fun Vicente Fernandez impersonators and djs. If you are looking for an all around great authentic Mexican experience without having to take a trip down south this is it. read more

The tortillas hechas a manos are delicious. El consome and la barbacoa...Rica! It gets busy on Sundays but they have enough seating. Clean restrooms and best of all great customer service. read more

My vegetarian fix for the day. The Huitlacoche quesadilla is legit! Had it with red mild sauce.

Consome con carne with hand made tortillas, quesadilla de cecina with red sauce, sope de chorizo, OMG all the plates are good.

Quedadillas de huitlacoche are the bomb!!! I was so hungry when I got here and it satisfied my hunger (it's pretty big). All the workers were really nice too. :). I sat on tables nearest the open parking area, so I had to swat flies away every so often. Food was delicious though, so I didn't care. read more

I love this restaurant. my favorite plate is cecina with handmade tortillas... This is a nice family restaurant.

Over priced food for the low quality restaurant. Doesn't seem very inviting it is in the hood area. Place looks dirty and grimey. Soon as you enter it smells bad, like the sewer. The food isn't anything spectacular, it's your typical Mexican food that you can cook at home. For two ppl I spend 30$. Not worth it considering the type of establishment it is. Health inspection needs to review their health score. Service is fast and the workers are friendly. read more

supposed to be delicious pancakes, they were burn and not fluffy not good the food isn't worth it, the huaraches are horrible they aren't even huaraches. won't be coming here again read more

This best place in town. I recently started working at this restaurant . It my Uncle's restaurant and the food here is bomb. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends and family read more

There aren't many food choices in this part of Compton -- and this place was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the huaraches and enjoyed it very much! Next time I'll try something else. For $4, you get homemade goodness in a setting you might not otherwise find. The food is fresh and good -- and still cheaper than fast food. Seating is outdoors, feels like you're in someone's backyard. Kinda cool -- I'll be back! read more
