    Birria Burrito with Red sauce !
    Ronald D.

    One of my favorite places to visit in Lakeport! The food is the best Mexican in town. The service is awesome and very personal and aim to please everyone. Love it !

    Pig Foot in Menudo

    Excelencia! Service is very welcoming! I came in first thing on this rainy morning to grub on Menudo and watch the stormy lake. The Atmosphere is warm, the Menudo is flavorful and tripe is a great texture, there's no hominy in it which is my favorite part but it's very well made. I've tried the Birria Tacos a time ago and those were everything I hoped for! When I get them again I'll update the review.

    I'm leaving a review mainly to upload recent menu pics from May 2026. I had good food from here. Ordered to go. Very friendly service and clean and cute inside. I hate rice in my burritos and chimichangas, and I know it's ridiculous and petty. I asked for rice on the side of a chimichanga, only when I arrived I was told that wasn't an option. Ok, no big deal. The chimichanga I got was truly beautiful, tasty meat inside. My partner's chicken burrito was good, but assembled horribly. Lost a star for the rice, the burrito assembly, as well as because I really didn't care for the sauce, I was hoping for chunkier salsa, and no chips and salsa in the bag and I really believe chips and salsa can make or break a mex restaurant, I would pay and request for chips and salsa if I knew they didn't come with meal.

    Ali's Kitchen is a gem in Lakeport. Popped in here and was really looking for authentic Mexican food. I found it here in Lake county. Situated across from the park, Ali's appears to be a local favorite. The restaurant's interior was cute. Colorful decor makes you feel you're in Mexico. The family that runs it were really respectful and efficient. Since it was taco Tuesday, I had to have their taco plate. Was glad to hear they had lengua on the menu that day. And boy oh boy, I was glad to have ordered that. They served it with blistered jalapeño and sautéed onions, topped with onions and cilantro. The lengua was tender and was a great bite.

    That's a really cute restaurant, and the food was delicious! I'll definitely come back again.

    Mexican Food in Lakeport.... lake county's main choices for lunch and dinner is mexican food countywide... our family wishes there were more options...so we have lots of options to compare...We've eaten here 3 times so far...this is in our top 3 choices... prices are reasonable..portions are large...it's in a good location next to the park..next to the lake...taco salad ...wet burrito..chimichanga...enchiladas...authentic..tasty...spicy..I've ordered beef every time and am very pleased. So, when passing thru Lakeport or looking for a fair priced, fresh and ample serving authentic Mexican....give this place a try...you won't be disappointed...ps. drink prices are reasonable too

    Carne asada burrito supreme no sour cream
    Michael L.

    Went here as my friends car was charging at the electric station. I would give the food a 3 1/2 stars instead of a four or three to be honest. the burrito was good. The meat wasn't super flavorful, and neither were the other ingredients however I enjoyed the burrito. Wait a little longer than I expected, but the staff was friendly. The restaurant itself was cute and there was plenty of seating and it's right next to a beautiful lake, they also had a rooftop as well. I will also say I was watching other peoples food come out and the Menudo looked good as well as the margaritas , wish I could've tried something else on the menu - especially the birria.

    Decor is cute inside, staff is nice, food is yummy! Got the birria burrito (pic taken after I ate half already), didn't expect it to come with consomme but so glad it did! Bf got a wet burrito and he enjoyed it. Horchata was fire too!

    Best Carne Asada in Lake County

    Ali's Kitchen - Lakeport, CA I had the Camarón al Diablo and wow--absolutely incredible. The portion was huge (I couldn't even finish it), and the sauce was next-level. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy. Their bean dip is also worth mentioning--authentic and probably some of the best I've ever had. Cynthia had the Carne Asada and was seriously impressed. She said it reminded her of the quality and flavor you'd find in San Diego--so that's saying a lot. This might just be the best Mexican food in Northern California. We'll definitely be back.

    Enchiladas
    Shelly S.

    Very small seating area but welcoming. The server was sure to get our order in before a large party which was nice. The food was good. The beans were lacking seasoning but we appreciate that they seemed house made. My enchiladas were not lacking in meat and the salsa given to add spice was delicious. Overall we would go back but we would bring cash because there is a 3.5% service fee for using a card. Also, they charge for chips and salsa FYI.

Let alone listen to a customers needs. I placed an order in advance so that I didn't have to keep calling them to come and help me because I'm walking with the pet and Daisy was extremely rude. At which point I canceled my order and went to Allie's kitchen.

    Was in lakeport for court Tuesday and had a serious craving for a sandwich. After seeking yelp for…read morehelp, I found Jimmy's with the highest rating for Sammy's around. So naturally, we had to stop by. This place is quite interesting, they tout themselves to be a deli, but also a taqueria... AND Mediterranean food spot. The staff inside are absolutely awesome, they're helpful, patient, efficient, & had great energy and customer service... the people alone are worth going back for 4.8/5. The restaurant is decent sized, clean, and organized, though the sitting area itself has a back wall where stock is being stored, and that slightly detracted from the fact I was eating inside of an eatery and not a warehouse 3.8/5. Now, let's get into the food. My man and I decided to split a turkey and pesto sandwich and share a 4ct of dolma. We ate the Dolma first, & holy moly some of the most flavorful dolma I've had, I loved that it was served with lime, there was a very mild hint of mint and I loved that subtlety, the only critique is that the grape leaves could have had a little more bite to them, but overall I still give it a 4.75/5. When the turkey pesto came out, the bread and turkey were still hot, while all the veggies were cold and fresh, pesto tasted made in house & the bread felt and tasted fresh, like it was made right before we walked in? 4.8/5. Because the sandwich and dolma was soooooo good, we made a second order to try their Mexican BBSQ. We ordered two chicken and 2 tri-tip BBQ tacos. They're served with cilantro, onion, hot sauce, lime, and jalapeños. Both tacos were so juicy, each bite was almost dripping wet. Fresh ingredients, jalapeños were nice and spicy, and the meats were packed with flavor. Chicken taco was slightly bland in comparison to tri-tip so chicken taco is 4/5 and tri-tip taco is a 4.75/5. Overall, I rate this establishment a 4.5/5

    After reading so many rave reviews on Yelp I just had to give this place a try... the family headed…read moreover for a late lunch. Even at 1:30 in the afternoon the place keeps a steady pace of patrons coming in. Everything is sold à la carte. Between the four of us we had a shawarma, a chicken gyro, a chicken taco, and Jimmy's classic with pepper jack cheese added, along with two orders of french fries. Everything was good. Service is kind of limited. You order and pay at the counter and receive a number to place on your table of you're eating in. The team delivers your food, and then you're pretty much on your own. The storefront is small, but not too cramped. There's a water station and a coffee station. If you want something else to drink you pick the bottle or can out of the fridge located near the cash register. I read in some of the other reviews here, prices are a bit on the higher side, so I was prepared. There's a good likelihood we'll be back, as I said the food was good.

We ordered breakfast burritos and received the wrong burrito. I tried to call back and could not get through, I ended up calling, and this is sadly not an exaggeration, eleven times before they picked up the phone. The person taking orders was Julius and he was not apologetic when they messed up my burrito the first time, he was even less so when we had to go back for the THIRD time because they had messed it up again. When I called (for the 12th time!) he actually chuckled and seemed to find it funny that the order had been messed up again. He blamed kitchen staff, however when I was there it appeared he continuously gave them the wrong order. They were the only ones who seemed to know what they were doing. We tried to reach out to the Aztec Grill customer service email and have not received any type of response back. Unfortunately solely due to how Julius acted I can not recommend Aztec Grill to anyone, and we used to be frequent visitors.
