The Best Kept Secret

by LikeToShop at Citysearch

Fabulous food, prompt and friendly service, warm atmosphere: this is what I look for in a dining experience. I have been there several times and always walk away happy. I wish they had more space becuase you do have to wait most of the time, but it's well worth it!

• Pros: It's the best Mexican cuisine you will have in LA
• Cons: Restaurant is so popular it needs more space. Too crowded for a large group

Authentic Mexican

by macster15 at Citysearch

Do not expect a huge space...this is literally a hole in the wall....an orange one at that! But the food here is really delicious. I have tried their breakfast as well as their lunch/dinner and have never been disappointed. Their cafe de olla is to die for...have it with the chilaquiles divorciados...you won't regret it.

• Pros: Delicious food at a very reasonable cost
• Cons: Can be crowded and so there may be a wait

Well prepared specialties from Guadalajara region

by zelaznog at Citysearch

This is not just another taco joint. The food of Guadalajara and nearby regions is featured. A must-have: one of the three types of moles (a red, a green, or a traditional brown mole) on enchiladas or with chicken. Be sure to start with one of their delicious appetizers, including one with fresh cheese, mushrooms, and roasted peppers steamed in a banana leaf.

You'll be surprised to find such tasty and complex food on this stretch Gage Ave, but it is certainly worth a drive. Service is bilingual and friendly.

• Pros: Wonderful moles, colorful room, cheesy appetizers
• Cons: Middle of nowhere, can get crowded on weekends
