    Breakfast Burrito (sausage and bacon mix)
    Lauren L.

    If you're looking for true authentic Mexican food, you've found the right place! It was my first time trying Cafe Tizon. When I came in with my dad, we were greeted by our server and she asked if it was our first time visiting. When we said yes, she gave us 2 tamales and 2 drinks free of charge. It was a very kind gesture that we greatly appreciated. Our server then told us the history of the restaurant and how all the people who worked there were her family members. This is truly a small family run business through and through. It's definitely a restaurant that makes you happy to put your money back in the hands of the community instead in the pockets of big franchises. Here's a review of my experience: Pork Tamale: Very delicious and authentic tasting! I've never had a tamale that gave the tamales my grandma makes every year a run for her money! The masa was delicious and it came with a lot of meat filling. Breakfast Burrito: I bought 2 to share amongst 4 people. The burrito was pretty big and there was a generous amount of the bacon and sausage put into it. Definitely satisfied my hankering for a good breakfast burrito. Ambiance: clean establishment with a homey feel. Overall, this place is a hidden treasure that I'm glad I found. Please give this place a try next time you want some authentic Mexican food!

    I had the Menudo con pata. Cafe de olla, and tortillas a mano. Beautiful restaurante, good service, very clean. Its a nice hole in the wall establishment. I found a favorite menudo spot.

    Food was the best we had in all of LA area and surrounding ares. The staff was super friendly and inviting. Treated us amazing. Tamales all day super fire. All food was good. Simply put.

    Rajas, puero, pollo verde, chicharron tamalitos

    Người việt đây. Each tamal $3.00 and they are HUGE! Personal favorite is the rajas of course They had chicharron that day, recommended if yall never had that. Service is quick, small and cozy restaurant. Salsa comes in small cups complimentary.

    Food was yummy and reasonable priced. Service was very attentive and friendly. This is a small place and parking is limited. The salsa was yummy, I like the green one over the red.

    Love to come here, I've tried a few bit different things on the menu, but my favorite is the birria…read morecon todo. It's always warm and the tortilla is delicious. I appreciate the service and the attention that I give to the food. Unfortunately, their hours are limited and they do have a small parking lot, but I've always found a spot. I've only gotten in their food to go, but it always manages to hit a craving. They are pretty quick with their service and the workers are friendly. There is open seating, lots of chairs and tables, bright lights, and water available for guests , but I find most people that I've seen are grabbing to go. It's a quick spot and if you drive-by too fast, you might miss it, but I highly recommend.

    I really enjoy this place and have not had anything that I did not enjoy…read more The burritos are a good size and 2 suffice, but 3 are great if I am super hungry. I love that it comes with a full Serrano pepper on the side. The tortillas are handmade. I have also enjoyed their platillo especial which is 2 birria burritos with green salsa on top. It is fabulous. I also like that they offer Mexican drinks like Coke, Sprite, and orange Fanta. The service is always great here. They are super helpful and patient, whether it is in person or over the phone. The ambiance is so relaxed and clean. I have done both eating it there or taking it to go.

    Lunch on Taco Tuesday in Temple City, Los Angeles, California…read more.. My friend, Rosemarie, highly recommended El Ruizeñor Grill because she had been there in the past for a Yelp event. She described the food, the prizes, and the fun - wow! Let's go! Parking on the street was easy. We arrived before the lunch crowd, so several tables were available. Afterwards, the place was packed in the colorfully decorated and festive atmosphere! Service was attentive, friendly, and helpful! The Taco Tuesday deal was great! We got pollo, papa, al pastor, and carnitas tacos for $1.56 each, and a carne asada taco for $2.56! Everything was tasty and beautiful! I also enjoyed a generous, refreshing horchata! Thanks, Rose for the fun foodie adventure! I appreciated the complementary crunchy chips and non-spicy salsa! Yum!

    I was introduced to this restaurant in May 2026 at a private event…read more My friend, Nadine C., is visiting from Hawaii, she wanted authentic Mexican food. I knew this would be the perfect spot. The recipes are from Oaxaca Mexico, the owner, Debbie, was working and greeted us. We took advantage of the Taco Tuesday deal. We ordered Carnitas, Al Pastor, and Chicken tacos from the $1.56 list and Carne Asada, Lengua from the $2.56 list, plus Tortila Chips topped with Mole sauce and cheese to share. I'm loving the mole, which is usually made with chicken. This is the first time having it served as Nacho Chips. It's a little on the spicy side and sweet at the same time, so savory! The restaurant has nice decor, murals on the interior walls, and ceramic dishes. Cafe de Olla is a specialty coffee made with a cinnamon stick, it was served in a beautiful clay mug. This is not offered in many restaurants, be sure to give it a try. It's available hot or iced. There are approximately indoor seating for 40 to 50 guests (in my estimation), and 4 to 5 outdoor tables by the entrance. Please note that handmade tortillas are available on the weekends, you know I will be back again and again! Sincerely, Rosemary
