My favorite Mexican restaurant in Downey. The food is delicious and the staff is great ! Huevos Rancheros are my favorite and the chile rellenos. read more

I was craving Mexican food last night and started looking on Yelp. I've passed by Yoly's plenty of times and always told myself, "I'll try it one day." Well, today was that day, and unfortunately I was very disappointed. The meat tasted like it had been sitting since the day before. I couldn't even finish half of my food I honestly had to force myself to eat what I did before eventually throwing the rest away. And for $20? That was insane for the quality of food I received. I will say the customer service was great. The lady working there was very friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations, so I have nothing bad to say about the service. Unfortunately, the food itself just wasn't it. Definitely won't be going back. read more

I'm a regular here for the many reasons of we always get seated promptly when we visit, the staff are always so friendly, greeting you with a warm smile. The food is tasty and never disappoints. When I'm here I feel as if my family is in the kitchen making me my food, it's so cozy and welcoming(: I come for the chilaquiles and freshly squeezed OJ! I will say the only negative thing I have to say about this place is they don't have public restrooms but there is a mc Donald's right when you walk out where you can go if really needed (: read more

Been eyeing this place tucked in behind Mickey Ds Right on the side of the road. Small and cozy not exactly for big parties but for a small family or coupled. It's the ol' school form bed and breakfast style. Music flowing through the air as you walk in. The proprietor asked us to find a seat and someone will be with you. Now I noticed some reviews complaining no prices on the menu, well on Yelp the run down of the menu has the prices. The wait staff was friendly spoke Spanish at first but completely bi lingual the chips and salsa good chips Okay not stale salsa taste made in house nice kick. My wife ordered tosada cevieche and hard shell potato tacos I got wet Verde carnitas burrito and a carne asada taco. Potato tacos were good my side taco bigger then a street taco size meat dices but cooked well with pico with it. Cevieche barely passed tmy wifes test it was my wife is picky she said it's a little blan not a usual comment from my wife, unfortunately my wife doesnt recommended this. I did love the Plating. My burrito was well plated and a good size well covered in sauce. Well packed and flavorful good amount of meat. Satisfying. Establishment is clean and has anemiities like high chairs and Sanitizer on the wall. A air unit above the door to keeps unwanted friends away. Wall is brick decor. Wickered chairs Nice cozy mom and pop Atmosphere = 8 Plating = 8 Price to product = 7 Customer service = 8 Menu = 8 Will return to have other things on the menu read more

If you live in Downey or surrounding areas and have not been to Yoli's, you are surely missing out. The authenticity is why I continue to come back. Their cafe de olla is a great way to start the day! read more

Started walking recently and walked by Yoli's and decided to try this little place out. It's a small building in the Ralph's parking lot. First time we were there, I decided to try the chilaquiles. When I saw they had mole chilaquiles, I had to have them. Mole is so good-- little on the sweet side but chocolaty and well seasoned. Husband had Huevos Divorciados and the sauces were tasty. Came back a few weeks later and he had for ham and eggs breakfast and I had the huevos a la Mexicana breakfast trying to be healthy, ya know? The potatos were not greasy at all well seasoned in a red sauce that was a pleasant surprise. Today, husband had the chilaquiles divorciados and I ordered from the More Healthy Breakfast and got the egg whites, frijoles de la olla, and chicken for a high protein breakfast and it was good. The salsa is so good, too. What is underrated is the coffee. It's got cinnamon in it adds that touch of nostalgia and warmth. I ask for it over ice because I do walk to Yoli and is still so good! The food is flavorful and hits the spot every time. The service is superb! Yoli's is a secret gem that has amazing food. Highly recommend. read more

This is one strange restaurant. First of all, no pricing - anywhere! Not on the menus, not at the menu board above the counter - nowhere! Naturally, this type of behavior would lend one to think pricing depends upon mood. And, a three percent fee on all orders. Not just on credit card orders (which is still unacceptable), but on all orders. Explanation for the fee? Not really. (I guess they just want to add three percent to the nonexistent menu prices.) I had a couple simple requests that were unmet. Double rice, instead of rice & beans? No problem, until the plate arrives with rice and beans. I asked for change for a 20, requesting some singles. Two 5s and a 10 show-up. Minor things, but annoyances just the same. Now, why am I giving a fairly decent rating with all these faults? The food IS good (I had the Steak Picado), and the service was friendly. The atmosphere is typical of a small mom-and-pop. Would I recommend? Maybe, once they get a little more transparent with the way they do things. Until then, I wish Yoli's the best, but I'll be going elsewhere. read more

Delish...very authentic. Got to taste everyone's food and they were all very authentic. Service was great. Nice ambiance too

The staff was very welcoming from the moment I stepped inside. Even though I came in by myself, the place was cozy enough that I didn't feel lonely. I ordered cafe de olla and a breakfast plate-huevos con chorizo acompañados de papa y Orioles. I topped my eggs with the salsa verde that came with the complimentary chips. It was very good! read more

Went to this spot for the first time and let me tell you, YUM!!! The service was amazing! Very attentive and friendly. I had the green chilaquiles with chicken. It was very flavorful and the chicken was very tender. I was not expecting the coffee to be so GOOOOD! Definitely had to get the refills. Will be returning really soon to try other menu items. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for years. It was great at first and very welcoming. Over the years we noticed customer service started being non existent. Today I called attempted to phone an order in but I was told it would take 45 min to an hour because they were busy. I understand that part , I was only a couple min away so I decided to stop by and just place it in person. When I walked in there was 2 people eating. What were they so busy with exactly? So then I thought maybe online orders... no food was being prepped. Interesting.... So I order my food and they tell me 20 minutes which is fine .. comes time to pay and they don't accept Apple Pay. This place keeps getting worse and worse ...will be looking for another authentic Mexican food place. read more

Great food. It's a weekly spot for us to enjoy breakfast. We have been coming here for a few years now.

Best Chille Rellenos I've ever had. Everything is home made. Service is amazing as soon as you get in. The red salsa is perfect. Add some guaca and you're good to go. I'm coming back to try the other dishes. Don't forget to order their coffee. I like mine black and they put cinnamon on it which is not bad at all considering I'm not a fan of cinnamon . read more

Very delicious food. I had the steak with Chilaquiles very well seasoned and good portion. Also the steak Picado was pretty good. The coffee was on point as well. I will return again.. read more

Yoli's Mexican Kitchen is absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, and the service makes you feel right at home. The food is packed with authentic flavor-- the chilaquiles are next level, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. read more

The food is good but could use a little more flavor especially the salsas. I don't like that they don't have their prices on their menus. When I asked how much something cost I was told she can go check the computer, then proceeded to give me a price range , weird ... fyi there's a 3 % "processing fee" . read more

Quaint little spot...and by little I mean not enough room for public restrooms. Cute patio area, small eating tables and good food. Warning: prices not listed but not too expensive.

Ordered Albondigas to go. The service was pretty good. I had to wait a little bit once I got there but they were attentive to me and let me know my order was being worked on. The Albondigas were okay. I would like to go back and try some other dishes since it's close to where I work read more

My husband Daniel orders his Menudo every Sunday and he is so happy with how consistant it is. The service is also GREAT! THANK YOU for giving this wife a day off from cooking. read more

The food is authentic Mexican and good, the place itself is small. The Food - I ordered the chilaquiles verdes with machaca. Personally I always grade a Mexican food restaurant by their ability execute chilaquiles. Yoli's did an outstanding job. The chilaquiles had some crunch, this is very important, no one likes soggy chilaquiles, the sauce was tasty and the portions were good. The Service - It was okay, the waiter was in a hurry but, he was nice. I'll mention that he was the only waiter and was doing a great job multitasking, they'll do great by hiring one more. From the looks of things they only have one cook, but, he's good, and it's probably why the food gets delayed a bit. The Ambiance - Place is a bit dated, but you're not going here for fine dining, your coming here for a good breakfast or lunch. So don't let that put you off. Overall, good job with the food Yoli's. The three stars are for food, the missing too starts are for service and pricing, it's a bit steep for what it is. read more

The food is outstanding. It's always good to have Mexican food options in So Cal, specially when they are serving good food which is the case here at Yoli's mexican kitchen. The mole chilaquiles were scrumptious. I like the chocolate style mole which is sweet and savory. The tortilla chips where fried and crisp to perfection. The dish comes with two fried eggs and carne asada. The albondigas caldo which is meatball soup had a great deal of piquancy. And the short ribs in green salsa with fried eggs and beans was palatable. The service is quick and they are very attentive and professional and most importantly, friendly. It's a nice establishment from the inside and outside. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Yolys Mexican Kitchen - Chilaquiles & Huevos mole - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Where do I start? Their food is very bland, starting with the chips and salsa. No restrooms for customers, not even to wash your hands. Oh, and the owners make sure you're aware they're Trump supporters , really? look you can support whoever you want but for the owner to be walking all over the restaurant with his red Trump hoodie and MAGA hat is not okay with me, not only that, but he was conducting business on the phone the whole time we were there, speaking very loud, sorry but I don't want to hear your whole business plans while we're trying to eat. Owners should not be wearing Trump supporter clothing if they want customers to feel welcome. Whatever you believe in keep it private! We're not going back and I will share this with family and friends. read more

Excellent Mexican food. Fresh warm delicious. Great people run it and everyone is so. Ice and helpful.
