Stopped by after my hike at Mt. Wilson and found an absolute hidden gem. From the moment I walked…read morein, it felt like I stepped straight into my Tía's house for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and the staff make you feel like you're part of the family. The quesabirria tacos were amazing! They're so rich,flavorful, and so fresh it felt like they handled everything start to finish that same day. The agua de tamarindo was perfect refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet. My family ordered machaca, beef tacos, and a shrimp cocktail and they all agreed the food had true authentic Mexican flavors. You can truly taste Puebla, Mexico right here in SoCal. Next time I'm in the area I'm stopping by, I'm going straight for the mole! Puebla style mole is straight fire!

I love this place so I'll just admit my bias now. Authentic Mexican. Parking in back or if you're…read morelucky on street. A lot of local workers hit this place so heads up try before or after lunch. My favorite is the vegetarian burrito. I have to ask for additional sauce because dripping on my shirt is part of the cost I am willing to pay for that burrito. My family also discovered El Caporal does tamales for the holiday season (special order). Usually I take my food to go but I have also sat inside with the colorful walls. Service is friendly and pretty quick unless they're slammed. But worth the wait. Not fancy but damn good. So glad it's near me!!

I ordered a carnitas combo plate and a chicken enchilada/chicken taco combo plate. Oh my! I get…read morehome ready to enjoy my meal along with my sweetheart. The carnitas was so overcooked, it was crunchy like potato chips! When is carnitas served hard? Really?? My guys chicken enchilada had LARGE CHUNKS of chicken inside the enchilada. Really? What happened to shredded chicken? It was disgusting, as he almost choked on the large chunks of chicken . Clearly the chef didn't care that they had the gall to serve this crap. I wrapped everything up, drove back to the restaurant. I opened the containers and ask the cashier " would you eat this? Why would you even serve this"? She was quiet. I said look at this crunchy carnitas! It is terrible. I proceeded to tell her my guy practically choked on the enchilada. I wanted a total refund. I ended it with you all ought to be ashamed of yourself selling some crap like this. I tell you- you try and patronize local businesses right? Then they serve you food that not even a dog would eat. Shame on you MOTAS!

When we arrived, there was only one party ahead of us. We ordered four chicken tacos and an order of crispy potatoes. We decided to dine in and the staff brought our food to the table along with the red and green salsas. The flour tortillas are so good!! They also have corn tortillas. There was plenty of street parking and they also have a small parking lot. They also have outdoor seating and a water station. We will definitely be back to try other menu items!

Fun place! Food is…read more3.5 out of 5, nothing super special - tastes and preparation remind us of a neighborhood Mom & Pop Mexican restaurant. Steak and chicken dishes tend to be a little overcooked and under seasoned, but not repulsively so. The vibe and drinks are 5 out of 5! Service is generally good, as long as it isn't too busy or your waiter isn't off flirting with a group of ladies somewhere LOL

Busy lunch service in the bar area with the 30th Anniversary promotion. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious as usual. We started with drinks including the medium cucumber margarita (huge!) and an order of the tableside guacamole. Then on to our tacos (table orders included the shredded chicken, barbacoa and picadillo). No room for desserts this time. Would love to see carnitas, fried fish and birria included in the taco specials and taco Tuesdays for a change. Looking forward to next visit.

I must say I lamented the close of the "neighborhood" Mijares that had been at this location for…read more20+ years, and because of that I was slow in even trying the restaurant that replaced it (El Matador). Because I had a desire for mexican food and did not want to drive all the way over to the remaining Mijares thought I'd try something closer and this was my pick. Not being familiar with the El Matador menu decided on the El Matador platter. It was a choice that let me try many things all at once. LOVED IT ! Loved everything about the platter (including the price). This is now my new "go to" restaurant for good mexican food. The only negative would be the amount of salsa included with the platter. I can never get enough salsa for my meals. Check them out, I think you will find them to be a wonderful replacement.

Truly a mom and pop type restaurant, with both in the kitchen cooking. Portion good for price…read more Taste average. Personally I was disappointed that the chili rellano that I ordered was microwaved, then chopped and put into a tortilla which was then microwaved again making the tortilla soggy. Flavor was good. Size of Burrito was good. Sauces were good. I might return if there was a parking spot on the street out in front of the restaurant. Otherwise it's a hassle.
