I had a recommendation from a friend to stop here, I am glad I did! I am a firm believer that the fancier the Mexican restaurant, the more bland the food will be. This location is not a flashy place, it is very simple. But, the food is incredible. I opted for a simple order of carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos. These are my barometer dishes to guage the quality of the food. Both of the tacos were wonderful. The carne asada was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The al pastor was marinated and juicy and so full of flavor. The sign to me that this spot is focused on the food was the handmade tortillas. It takes a lot of effort and skill to be able to make perfect corn tortillas! The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and I could tell they put a lot of love into the food they prepare. I will recommend this spot to anyone that is looking fro great food in North Carson. read more

We visited Antojitos La Jefa on the recommendation of our neighbors. Off we went ! We went for breakfast but their menu offered a wide variety of options, with delicious sounding tacos and other magical treats. For me, the tortilla chips and salsa are a good litmus test of how the food is going to be. All I can say is the chips were AMAZING. Crisp and flavorful. These chips were clearly homemade. The salsa was meh, but the chips were amazing. On this day, we were taken care of two wonderful Latina's, which added to the authenticity of the experience. I overheard our waitress saying she was from Mexico City. Legit. Our friends ordered the Sopas and Birria "soup". The Sopas looked amazing, with a hand formed tortilla and served with a variety of proteins. Our friend ordered the carnitas and chorizo, to have a couple of flavors to sample. She said that the tortilla was bit different than "her mom would make" but did not take away anything from the dish. Her husband had the Birria "soup". I don't know if that was the official name but that's what it looked like. LOL. Served in a rich broth (not oily) were wonderfully seasoned, tender chunks of Birria beef. Whenever a Mexican restaurant offers Menudo for breakfast, I'm down. Menudo it was. This dish was served with Tripe only, lacking the familiar hominy in the dish. I came to understand, the inclusion of hominy varies, depending on where in Mexico the recipe comes from. Well, all right, now I know. The kiss of death of Menudo is if the soup is "oily". No oily broth here. The dish was perfect, served all the normal accoutrement, including onions, cilantro and oregano. Now about the tortillas. We were told that the tortillas were hand made. O-M-G. These were the most delicious corn tortillas I have ever had. I couldn't stop eating them. OMG. Last but not least, my wife ordered the breakfast burrito. She ordered it with bacon instead of the normal Chorizo. Her breakfast burrito was legit. I don't know how they prepared their potatoes but man-o-man were they good. The burrito is also served with Mexican Queso. SO GOOD. The cheese added creamy goodness to the burrito. What a great meal. The restaurant is small but super clean and the staff were amazing. We are looking forward to sampling more of the menu. Que Bueno read more

Great tacos! We had a variety of tacos and sopes. Homemade taste. Small but good service. Great lunch stop.

Came in eat with my family on a Friday at 5:13 to eat dinner and they turned us away when the sign clearly states they close at 6pm. Will not be returning! read more

We started eating here from the truck outside of oreilley's (or maybe it's autozone, i forget). This food is made with LOVE, it's the best restaurant in Carson, yes, the BEST out of all types of food here. As far as closing early, or whatever else, this is a genuine Mexican restaurant and it seems family owned. If there's no customers coming in, it's fine and expected to close a little early. These are real people, not machines, making delicious, love filled food. Sometimes the hours might not be exact, but that's the price you pay for eating really really good Mexican food. I'd way rather have really good food rather than punctuality, any day, and Carson is seriously lacking good food. read more

I went there for a light lunch last Thursday and loved the food, great service and clean and inviting space. Tlacoyos was new to me so that's what I ordered with carnitas and green sauce topped with lettuce and sour cream. The bean and cheese filling was delicious topped with the other ingredients and I look forward to my next visit! read more

Authentic. Fresh. Fast. Simple. What more could you ask for? Super cute little restaurant. Family owned and operated. Delicious food. Do not pay attention to the reviews from many months ago. This is a wonderful place! The menu is in Spanish and English. The staff speak both Spanish and English. Super sweet and kind staff. Very fresh and fast food. Simple menu full of traditional favorites. We will be back! read more

Este Lugar está muy sucio, la comida que sirven ya tiene Días de viejos, el lugar tiene un aroma muy desagradable los pisos sucios, y las ollas se miran muy sucias y viejas, grasas en las paredes y los pisos. read more

The tacos were great! Made with home made tortillas and large for size. I ordered 3 Al pastor and 2 carne asada for my daughter. The only reason I knocked down a star was because the lady serving us couldn't hear me because the music was too loud and she came off rude when asking what I wanted on the tacos. I don't expect to be treated like royalty when I go out to eat, absolutely not, but it would be nice to be served by someone who doesn't have an attitude. If I come back, I'd call for pick up. read more

Very traditional Mexican food. Molletes were delicious and huge. The place makes you feel I like you're at a lonchera in Mexico.

Went during open hours the girl looked at me, said they don't serve food and then she told me she doesn't speak in English now. Crappy hole in the wall probably get sick. I wish my Spanish was better. I would've told her she needed to really reconsider how she treats her customers because she spoke English and then told me she doesn't speak English. WTF. read more

Super clean, nice service, great (huge) burritos! The hubby and I picked up 2 burritos to go from this cute, little place: pollo and carne asada. There were several choices of meat that were 'authentic' choices, but I'm not brave with meat. Would have liked to have seen carnitas though. The burritos were huge, flavorful, fresh, and delicious. I saw the chef walk by with a big bowl of masa. Next time I'll try the tacos or sopes, to sample that stuff! The breakfast looks enticing too. read more

Trying to decide on a lunch spot and picked Antojitos La Jefa and wow! We live close and drive by often but always seem to miss it as a choice. What a shame! This place rocks!! We ordered the 3 taco plate a couple tamales (one pork one chicken) and some empanadas (beef birria). The boss lady behind the counter was killing it! The place was packed with guys on break for lunch but she handled the rush like a true champ! She even makes the tortillas by hand per order! We will definitely be back again. read more

Being from LA I was looking forward to this place as I love small family run Mexican restaurants. I was actually immediately confused. The woman at the register hands me a menu and then said there were 3 menus. I could barely hear her because there was loud music playing but eventually realized the other two menus were on the floor in front of the register. I ordered 3 tacos and she asked if I wanted the taco special. This meant the Taco Tuesday special is also available on Wednesday . None of this actually bothers me because I'll walk through hell for good tacos. When I got home my first observation was how watery the refried beans were. The tacos were ok but definitely lacking some spice. It could be my pasty Irish skin that makes people assume I can't handle the heat even though I eat whole habanero peppers when I'm bored. I probably won't go here again but she did seem to be saying enchiladas were their specialty so maybe that is the thing to get. read more
