He made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit and was especially attentive during the birthday celebration. We really appreciated his great service and kindness. The mole was absolutely delicious, and the handmade tortillas made it even better. The combination gave the dish such a special flavor! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back. Thank you, Alex, for taking such good care of us!

This place is only good for pictures TRULY. Asked for a limonada "lemonade" and an horchata and let…read moreme tell you HORRIBLE. Lemonade was acidic and maybe even expired to be honest. The horchata was just evaporated milk. We returned both and they tried charging at the end when the bill was asked for. We weren't the only table returning drinks either. Food was bite size for full price. DO NOT RECOMMEND. On the bill they up charge EVERYTHING! I got quesabirria tacos (4 count) they give you the smallest tortilla ever for one and second the plate comes with a side bowl of consome and they tried to charge me $4 for it even though it was never disclosed on the menu or myself when ordered. My brother in law got enchiladas and asked for chicken as the meat and they charged $22 for the plate PLUS THE CHICKEN ($4) when I confronted the waiter, he just said "oh I can just remove that" ??? SO HE WAS AWARE OF THE CHARGE AND ASSUMED I WOULD NOT NOTICE? DO NOT COME UNLESS YOU WANT TO EAT HORRIBLE BITE SIZE FOOD FOR FULL PRICE!

They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

My stomach was growling while my left hand was holding the pump. I made complete eye contact with the taqueria straight ahead. I started drooling on my pump, and had to use napkin to wipe myself up! I knew I was destined to go there!l lol. Going in, it was a MEGA sized menu running literally 15 x ft wide. I swear can see the words even if you're blind! They have lots of options but the one that sparked my interest was the Gringa De Harina! First of all, I've never heard of a Gringa in a Mexican menu, only just gringo lol so I knew I had to try! Gringa is basically a large ass quesadilla, harina is the flour tortilla, not to mention made from scratch! I ended up picking the carne asada option. Figured you can't go wrong hahaha. Food was quick, it was ready in less than 10 mins. It came with red and green sauce on the side. First bite - omg EPIC!! Flavors of meat and cheese exploded in my mouth, combined with the softness of the homemade tortilla = Heaven!! The sauces made it even better, with a kick! If you have made it reading this far, give the gringa de harina a shot! You are welcome!

It comes as part of an entree, but never found out which one. Turns out the cook/owner was once the executive chef at Angel Stadium. So food was solid, traditional and nothing fancy nouvelle or la de da...nothing crazy experimental...just good solid Mex that will satisfy a craving. The Jamaica was not too sweet not too sour....not watered down...light and refreshing....wish I had asked for a refill or maybe they don't do refills on agua frescos, I don't know. Very nice extensive menu. Plenty of free parking. Tucked in the corner of a strip mall on Roaemead Blvd. Not easily visible from the street in any direction. So pay attention to your GPS.

We came for Friday night dinner and were unfortunately disappointed with the food. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive that set the tone for a potential great dinning experience. This was our first time here and our server went over the menu, which added another layer of enjoyment to our evening. This night the restaurant had live music and the singer serenade my wife since it was her birthday and so did the staff. Now let's talk about the heart and soul of El Chlito, the food. The menu boasts an array of authentic Mexican cuisine that fell short of our expectations. Unfortunately my wife's dish was rancid and unpalatable but my dish was delicious and mouthwatering. We decide not to complain since we were enjoying our drinks snd live music. So this was definitely a hit and miss dinning experience when it came to this food. However the restaurant was festive and décor esthetically pleasant. We so wanted all the components of the restraint to shine but unfortunately the food fell short of our expectations!

We were coming back from DTLA after a morning errands and the restaurant is conveniently located off the 5 in Santa Fe Springs. Upon arrival, we could already smelled the delicious aromas of pescado dorado, though we weren't looking to get deep fried seafood, but the smell was so appetizing. Pescado Dorado is a family owned business and Victor was such a wonderful and attentive in taking our orders and helping us! We ordered a variety of items, grilled fish taco, mixed seafood ceviche, and the dual grilled protein plates with mahi mahi and beef. We also had the seafood soup that they offered on the menu and I was most excited about this! The flavor was rich and with a bit of lime, it was perfect! The grilled fish taco was probably the best highlight for me! Full chunks of perfectly just right grilled white fish, grilled peppers and pico de gallo in corn tortilla. It was soooo good and full of flavor. The seafood mixed ceviche was also rich and full of sabroso and you really don't need to add any salsa or hot sauce at all! The grilled protein plate was also very good though I did like the mahi a lot better than the beef. Overall, one thing this place offers is that all their food are packed with tons of flavor and the best is their seafood! Service was awesome and the restaurant is super clean and so tropically decorated! They had quite a few recognitions over the years and I hope they continue to receive lots of customers who can come to appreciate what they have to offer! Highly recommend!

However, the burrito was so cold that it seemed as though it had been sitting in a refrigerator or freezer. I understand that mistakes happen, but I think customers who support and spend their hard-earned money at a business should be treated with more kindness and understanding. There is no need to become upset or defensive when a customer brings up a legitimate concern. Listening to customers and addressing their concerns respectfully goes a long way.
