This is the first time I've ever finished my entire bowl of pozole. I've tried many different places, and they've always been a disappointment--until now. If I'm ever craving pozole, this will definitely be my go-to spot. The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is very clean, and it has such a warm, comfortable atmosphere that you feel like you're eating at home. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Hidden Gem -- Drive Slow or You May Miss It! Let me start by saying that the moment you walk through the doors, the aroma of a home-cooked meal hits you--instantly reminding you of your abuelita's kitchen. The nostalgia is real. The menu offers so many great choices that it's hard to decide what to order. The chips arrived fresh and warm, and the salsa was hands down one of the best table salsas I've ever had--just like homemade. I ordered the Green Pozole, while my better half chose the Aguachiles. The Green Pozole was packed with flavor and had the perfect balance of chicken and hominy. It came with all the traditional fixings and, to my surprise, included three incredibly delicious potato tacos on the side. The Aguachiles were exceptionally fresh, with the perfect ratio of cucumber, onion, and shrimp. Each shrimp was cleaned, deveined, and butterflied, showing the care and attention to detail that goes into every dish. The chile sauce was outstanding and brought everything together beautifully. We couldn't leave without dessert, so we ordered it to go. The flan was something special--creamy, delicate, topped with homemade caramel sauce, and accented with fresh mango. It was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. You can tell the owners and staff genuinely care about quality and the dining experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

We had the Pozole Verde and the Chile Relleno Plate which included a shrimp taco. Both were excellent. Always eat local and support small businesses in my community. The shrimp taco, and the flavors were mild, not overpowering. Also, I tried the ribs on takeout. They were falling off the bone. But I wish they could have used more seasoning. The owners are very kind service is always good. read more

What a great experience today. Found this place through Yelp , looking for an authentic mexican restaurant. It is a smaller restaurant (family owned) and though the parking is a bit tough to find, it is down the side narrow alley next to the establishment with plenty of parking in the back for me and my family of 9. This place exceeded our expectations and is definitely a don't judge a book by its cover place. It was amazing! Clearly 5 stars here is because of the food. But the nice lady, service, and great dining experience was the best. It is a place you want to spend your money. The people were so kind and genuine. It was my brother Jacobs birthday and they helped with the cake and the server brought whole kitchen out to sing with us f The server was very nice and I am really happy my family and I stopped by. Nothing but best wishes for this establishment! read more

Villalobos Kitchen is seriously so good. I'm pregnant, and my baby constantly craves their shrimp tacos with kale slaw. They are absolutely delicious. I also tried the birria, and it had so much flavor. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and honestly, everything has been amazing. Every dish tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff is also one of the best parts. Everyone is so friendly and always says hi every time I walk in, which makes the whole experience feel extra welcoming. It's one of those places you keep coming back to because the food is consistently great and the people are too. No surprise they have 5-star reviews. Highly recommend. read more

Decided to pick a random spot I haven't tried. Great service. Wide variety of options. I ordered the augachile. I'll love some really spicy augachile but it was mild, But very good. Nice small, quiet restaurant. Only thing they can possibly improve on, is the Jamaica. I love some good Jamaica, but this one didn't hit. It's ok though. I would definitely return!!!! read more

We visited this hidden gem in the neighborhood today after our friends invited us for lunch. Parking was easy, with plenty of spaces available behind the restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a sweet couple--who we later learned were the owners. The woman kindly seated us and took our drink orders. I went with the Sandía (watermelon) agua fresca, which was perfectly prepared and just the right amount of sweet. For our meals, my wife ordered the chilaquiles with steak and eggs, while I had the enchiladas rojas with chicken. The food arrived hot, fresh, and in a timely manner. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavors, clearly crafted with patience and love. The establishment was also very clean. Villalobos Kitchen has definitely earned our business--we'll be back! We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing customer service and the food was great. Definitely worth giving a shot. The aquas frescas and horchata are fresh and home made.

My husband and I came here twice in one week! The food is so authentic and delicious. Not greasy and all the ingredients taste so fresh and have a lot of flavor. We tried the chicken enchiladas, they were perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. The steak was so juicy and flavorful. We came back to try the tacos and burritos and would highly recommend both. The service both times was amazing, food came out hot and fast, and the chefs are really passionate and made good suggestions of what to try. The ambiance is more casual and nothing fancy or instagram worthy but its super clean and to me that is better than the hype. The food speaks for itself. We will be regulars here, awesome authentic mexican food in North LB!!! read more
