    Enchilada plate with calabasas (squash)
    James H.

    I must premise my review that I avoid Mexican food because of health concerns. So much of the Mex diet consists of meats, fried items and sugary drinks. That said , I seek out healthy choices and this is one of the tastiest! The enchilada plate with calabasas (squash) is absolutely delicious! The fresh salsas add to the flavor symphony here!!

    My friend and I checked out Antojitos Como en Casa on a Sunday morning for brunch. The dining room was completely full which is a great sign--very popular among locals. However, the waiters were swamped and took three asks to finally get the menu and water. I highly recommend checking out the Plato Huatesco. The arrachera asada is legit! Very well marinated and tender. The quesadilla is also delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Mexican food. I will come back hopefully on a less busy day.

    Chilaquiles
    David R.

    On our way to Arizona we stopped here for a quick lunch based on the good Yelp reviews, and the reviews were right. This is a great 5 star casual restaurant to stop by in El Centro. I had the chilaquiles with 2 eggs over easy and they were the best I have had. I think what really made it great was the home made chips which stayed crispy and delicious throughout the meal. Usually chips in chilat most places quickly get soggy but these stayed pretty crisp I think because they were home made thick chips which tasted like they were just made. My wife and son had the enchiladas (one had the green sauce and the other the red) and both really enjoyed those as well. Service was pretty good as well, though it seems that they all take turns coming by the tables. We started with one person who took the order, but then had 2 or 3 others people either bringing the dishes or the check so you just have to ask any of the servers around you if you need something, but they are nice and responded quickly to anything we needed.

    Mixiote de borrego (Sheep Slow Coked), marinated tortillas, cafe de olla ( coffee with brown sugar and hint of cinnamon)

    Amazing food great prize and THE TASTE ON GRANDMAS COOKING!!!!!!! Food 10/10, service prompt, friendly, accommodating and filled with gratitude, ambiance has good musics, great lighting, and configurations for all party sizes. The mixiote was so good the meat fell right off the bones. Coffee made me think I was back in Mexico enjoying the good life. And as far as my families plates the Menudo on point and eggs were finely cooked with great quality ingredients. Definitely recommend to anyone in el centro or passing by like we were on our trip from San Diego to Yuma.

    El sazón de el restaurante fue muy de agrada mio y de mi familia. Definitivamente volveriamos a ir si tenemos un antojo de comida mexicana. El unico detalle fue que la carne no tenía practicamente nada de sabor. Pero volveria sin duda. Muy agradable servicio

    Enchilada
    Christopher F.

    We came in here late evening and were graciously accommodated. Our server was fantastic. We had the cheese enchiladas which were quite good. The kids had quesadilla which was also tasty. They even sent out a nice desert from the chef for the kids. Very kind. It is right next to the courthouse which makes for a nice after dinner stroll.

    Let me just say that if you are craving some Mexican food and you are from out of town, this is the right spot. Feels cozy and in my opinion very authentic location. Lets talk about the food now. Food tasted as authentic as can be. However, the rice is not to my liking at all. Other than that all was tasty. Food came out warm, not alot of waiting. We did visit on a Tuesday morning. To the local crowd; let's support local businesses!

    Chicken enfriojoladas plate
    Doug L.

    Coworkers and I stopped by for a late lunch before driving back to San Diego and the main seating area was full! It was a good sign that this restaurant was popular and turned out good food as well. They were out of agua fresca but the ice teas we ordered instead almost had to be two handed as they were so large. Food was authentic and filling. Chicken enfriojoladas were just like an enchilada but covered with a bean sauce. The green pozoles, only served Thursday's, were a hearty stew that my coworkers raved about. Now that we are traveling again this will be one of our go to options on the way to/from Mexicali.

    The food was delicious! The tacos and rice and beans were my favorite! The green enchilada was also very very good. Highly recommend.

    Was craving Mexican food while in town and found this lively spot on Yelp. And boy am I glad I…read moredid. This place is best described as a trendy, somewhat upscale Mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome, dimly lit with lively music bumping. Not only is the environment lively, the food and drinks are AWESOME. I sat at the self seating bar as I was dining solo. The bartender, very friendly guy, took my order. Forgot his name but he is a good looking guy, which sort of fits the upscale scene. Every table gets complimentary salsa tray which I presume has avocado salsa, verde, mocajete, and limes. The salsas were DELICIOUS. I do wish they gave some complimentary chips along with it. Everything I ordered: Carne asada burrito, substitute beans with rice - 9/10. Was very delicious especially when accompanied with the salsas. For the drinks: Oaxaca Old Fashioned - 10/10. I love old fashioneds and they nailed it here. Instead of whiskey, they use mezcal which was delicious. Agave Spritz - 10/10. Mezcal with prosecco. Fantastic. No words. The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is including prices of the cocktails on the menu. After finishing eating I had no idea what the damage would be but it turned out to be very reasonable, $13 per cocktail. I wish I gave this place a shot earlier during my work trip, but anyhow if I am ever back in town, this is in my highly recommended list of restaurants. They also had one projector screen showing the World Cup game. They also have Happy Hour 3-6 PM. Parking is plentiful, shared with the rest of the plaza. Would I come back? You bet.

    The 3 starts is a little unfair, because the place is completely incredible the music is great the…read moreambiance is amazing their waiters are print cordial savvy and bilingual... sadly my food wasn't a 4 stars or 5 stars ordered the arrachera burrito and I'm going to say it was at best a 3/5. However I went with a friend who ordered a santo chile (or something) and the plate looked delicious. Their queso fundido was the best part of my experience combined with the Tamarindo agua Fresca. Apologies did not take a picture. I will update as I want to go again before I leave town.

The food took about 15 minutes to come out (we visited on a Friday evening). Everything was hot, tasted freshly made and were a good portion. They didn't have a few items on the menu including beans. The reason for the lower rating was related to their service. This is a big factor in whether someone will come back and should be a high priority for any establishment. The waitress staff didn't give off a welcoming feeling that you would expect from a restaurant wanting to build their clients. They were not rude or inattentive, but rather made you feel they were annoyed by having customers present. I don't believe it was intentional or that they realized it but if this were improved, I would definitely have rated this higher. The restaurant is small but I felt it was the right size with nice decor. Music was playing, for background, at the right level. I'll end my review by mentioning that their prices were very reasonable. Our bill came out to just over $40 for a party of four. We liked the food and will probably eat it again; however, we may consider takeout.
