    Breakfast burrito (Bacon)
    Anthony L.

    This was my first time here, and it was an outstanding experience! From what I gathered, it seems to be a family-owned, husband-and-wife-run business (apologies if I'm mistaken), and you can truly feel the care they put into both the food and service. The hospitality was exceptional, and the food was just as impressive. I decided to visit based on the great reviews, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere has that charming, mom-and-pop feel, tucked in a mini mall with plenty of parking--plus street parking if needed. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

    Went to breakfast this morning looking for good menudo. Well I was not disappointed. The soup was delicious, the hominy was soft (coulda used a little more) and they offered pata. Also hand made tortillas made it the perfect meal. I'd recommend this lite place and will definitely be back!! My friend had the egg and cheese omelette she liked it as well!!

    My niece told me to try this place.  So goo for here.  OMG new spot

    First of all yumm. If you are into Menudo. Best in Azusa. Clean clean clean. Every time I need a menudo fix.... They are ready for me.

    Bomb! I got a breakfast burrito with peppers, bacon, egg, beans, pico de gallo, and salsa. With a horchata. Would definitely come back and try more items. But the tortilla and the beans were so delicious. Really hit the spot and field me up for a heavy leg workout. Parking in front, to-go and dine-in, sweet employees

    Food is great very friendly people and amazing service. 10/10 recommend. Been coming here for 4 years never disappointed.

    Spanish omelette (added my own salsa since it didn't come with any)

    Everyone was friendly, very attentive and courteous. The food was fine. I can't say it was the most delicious I've ever had but it wasn't bad. I had a Spanish omelette, which was basically an egg omelette stuffed with chorizo and topped with pico, cheese and avocado. It was served with a side of hash browns. I ate it, but I wouldn't order it again. My husband had the red chilaquiles. He felt the same. It was fine, but not the best he's ever had. I might return and try a few other things, not sure though.

    This place is amazing cannot believe no reviews in over 1 yr. I had to come pick up an item at the nearby Costco and decided I needed my Mexican fix. This did the job I ordered the Chile verde burrito $8.99 wet extra with verde the huge size could easily by shared but the meat was done to perfection with rice beans inside it weighed over 2 lbs. my hubby ordered the pescado burrito with red sauce equally large but I have to be honest mine was better more flavor. Employee super friendly love these little authentic places that I stumble across. 2 thumbs up

    Special #1. It was really good and the spicy salsa was perfect on my eggs and hash browns. I will come back.

    After removing the thick layer of fat before warming on stove

    Bought an order of albondigas and rice yesterday since it was a cold day. The place is small and clean. The order came with a side of tortillas, I chose flour they were ok. As soon as I got home to "enjoy" them I was really disappointed with the quality and smell- like a bitter smell I can't explain. I figured it was fat so I just refrigerated them to let the fat clump and I could scoop and toss. The pics prove my smell was correct. The serving had ONE cut of potato little bit of carrots and zuchinni but the chayote/squash sucked. I'm biased because I don't like chayote. Anyway l, I took pics when I opened and after warming up (on stove). They're expensive, the ground meat is not good quality and the serving is small. If they work on those 3 things they will be much better.

    Everybody was very nice. It looks great on the photos, but food was very bland. The horchata was good.

I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.

They do not skimp on their portions and actually care how their food looks at the time of service. This place makes sure their food looks nice, but don't charge you extra for that. Service: 5 out of 5 their employees are very pleasant and professional. They gladly answer all your foodie ingredient questions. They are more than accommodating. You will see, they are genuinely nice. As far as the ambience goes, for certain a stro g 4 out of 5. Nothing can be more comforting than to sit back and relax here. They have hi tables woth stools, as well as the hybrid style booth/table combo. Fans are always circulating and it is definitely not too stuffy. They do have music playing in the background, but it is not too loud like many places do. We have been back to try new and different dishes....all have been very tasty. A smaller and cozy place to have a nice meal. I can tell they cater to the local college students and offer a student discount. ***Hidden Bonus: their café de la olla is DELICIOUS! You can twll they make it fresh regularly and do not let it sit. It is by far waaaaay nicer than what they serve anywhere in the area. We would drive to get a nice cup in Monrovia, but this café de la olla beats it hands down. It is NOT bitter, nor is it over sweetened! So.etimes we swing by for a To-good cup.

I got the breakfast burrito, and it was really good with the sauce. I liked the bacon in it, and it was huge. But without the sauce, it tasted pretty plain, just like a regular burrito with eggs. Of course, I ordered the chilaquiles, but I was disappointed. I specifically wanted dry chilaquiles, and that's what | ordered. I know the sauce usually makes the tortilla chips soft, but these were really wet and soggy. It honestly felt like it had been sitting out for a while because the food wasn't hot. The flavor was good, but I'm not a fan of soft or too soggy chips. Also, they thought our order was for dine-in, so they gave us chips. When we told them it was to-go, they took the chips back. I was hoping they would still give us chip takeout, but they didn't, which was really disappointing. Cmon you already put it on our table and we told them it's to go they took it right away.

There are two Fridays left if you want to partake in the seasonal dishes offered during this time, please bookmark this restaurant. We ordered the two Specials of the Day (Fri., 3/28/25): 1. Tortitas de Camaron con Mole with Nopales and Roasted potatoes (ground breaded Shrimp into small Patties with cactus) $15, served with thick handmade corn tortillas. 2. Capirotada (bread pudding with peanuts & raisins in syrup) $10. We also had Enchiladas in Poblano Mole. Each entree included a cup of Fideo soup, a side of rice and beans. I could not resist the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee brewed with a cinnamon stick), this was served with two cookies in a ceramic mug. This is how you would be served in someone's home. I was stunned when they brought it to me. The food was authentic, delicious, good portions. You will love how the food is plated and presented in ceramic dishes (pottery). We didn't finish and brought the rest home for dinner. I literally was transported back to my childhood, when my grandmother would cook these two same dishes during Lent. The hospitality, decor and service makes you feel like you're home. The food restrictions is part if a religious tradition, but anyone can eat these foods. There are only two Fridays left, mark your calendar now. Enjoy and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

Food has been excellent! My daughter kept saying delicioso (Can you say delicioso? *Dora the explorer*) haha. We've made multiple trips since our first time. Carne en su juego had a great tasting salsa. Sopes had a nice crunchiness to them. Chile relleno was very good and juicy. The enchiladas were all very good. One of the things I've enjoyed are tbe hand made tortillas, it's hard to find now a days. They have aguas frescas and it's actually fresh so they may only have one or two each day. Cafe de Olla was good, sweet but I like it (sweet tooth in me) and comes with a cookie. The baño aka restroom also has a changing table (yes no changing the baby on my lap!). We will continue to enjoy the food, service and Mas despacito. God bless
