    Buche tacos.
    Vi D.

    Ordered 3 buche tacos, 3 asada, and 1 buche burrito. Owner warned me the tacos were large...he undersold how big they were. Highly recommend checking this place out. Just an fyi the hours are incorrect. Check their IG.

    Located on Mulberry in front of Stater Bros

    Dame tus carnitas, ah ah Dame tus carnitas, ah, ay Dame tus carnitas , ah ah... Friend sent me this place to try. Guess it is popular on Instagram (no IG here). So we gave it a try because its chilaquiles. 3.75/5 Food Good the red chilaquiles are spicy while the green ones are more flavorful. The carnitas were a bit cold and lacked flavor. They give you big portions for sure. You can split a burrito or the plate. Overall the food was okay but felt like the portion is the wow factor. The overall taste was not impactful. 4/5 Service We had to wait a bit without anyone there. They have a place to sit if you want to eat there.we took ours to go. 5/5 Parking Located on the street in front of the Stater Bros parking lot. Lots of spots to park. Overall a lot of food but lacks that extra factor 3.75/5. Psalm 3:6, God bless

    Chilaquiles rojos con carnitas
    Jazmin M.

    The flavor was there, but I expect my chilaquiles to have a crunch. We ordered red chilaquiles with carnitas. The red salsa is spicy, like I said the flavor was good but I wish there was a crunch the chips were soggy. We also ordered horchata & a quesabirria tacos and those were amazing would be back for those but personally not for the chilaquiles.

    Asada Chilaquiles Burrito with Roja
    Josh Y.

    Got the chance to try their chilaquiles burrito with their Roja and it was amazing! Love their carnitas but they ran out. Tried asada. It's super messy but worth every bite. The portion is a bit smaller than the platter but so is the price. Highly recommend.

    Breakfast burrito (carnitas, chilaquile, over medium eggs, green sauce, cheese)
    Brandon L.

    This breakfast burrito was stuffed with chilaquile i believe with over medium egg and carnitas and a green sauce. It satisfied me and i will come back here and tell my friends :)

    This place was so good! It was on leffingwell and Meyer parked by the water overpass, so the address is a little off but they picked up qhen I called and guided us there. They did not skimp on the carnitas and the chilaquiles were delicious. My husband got the burrito and it was also so good. I would recommend.

    Even though it's half finished, the plates here are described above. Meat included here is carnitas

    Let me tell you, the first time trying Carnitas La Chingona was so BOMB! The green chilaquiles is a good chili but if you love spicy then the red is for you. You can get half and half salsa. I usually get the chilaquiles plate with scrambled or over hard egg and pollo. It includes sour cream, beans and cheese. The service is amazing, even when they are busy they try their best serving your food fast and efficient. The atmosphere is beyond amazing, sweet, kind, respectful souls. Family own business food is pretty epic. Been going here many times. Definitely recommend for whoever loves this type of food.

    Truck in front of the curb by Stater Brothers. Huge Breakfast burrito with chilaquiles, runny egg, and carnitas mixta. I got it with the Green sauce which is delicious and milder than their fiery red sauce. Easily feeds 2.

    Huge mess they gave us

    Today was a careless sloppy mess. We love love this place we don't mind the wait or the priced food is delicious but today are order was a huge sloppy mess disappointed can't even pick up the burrito. Wrapper a wet mess stuff all over it the young girl taking the orders super unfriendly with the sour face. Ughh

    I had my first meal at the enchanted indoor garden in Mami Felipa Cocina today…read more Food: The green chilaquiles did not disappoint. They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

We came here because my cousin DJSP was the featured DJ this Sunday, so I did my Yelp research and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect because the most recent reviews were a couple of months old, no recent food photos and menu photos were outdated. However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Well I received the flautas (which were very tasty) but they were BALD. There was about one tablespoon worth of guacamole on the side. And a tiny little pinch of lettuce. I immediately asked the waitress if it was missing the toppings, and she said "yes it's missing sour cream." She left and came back and said there was no more sour cream. A Mexican restaurant without sour cream? Oh! really wish I would've known that before ordering because, like I said, I love my flautas drenched in toppings. I would've ordered something else had I known there was no sour cream. I requested some extra guacamole to make up for the lack of sour cream. With guacamole and the salsa that comes with chips, it still tasted pretty good but my heart was wishing I had sour cream and tons of cheese. It was definitely a tasty meal but was a HUGE miss on the lack of toppings, which is what I crave when I order flautas. I've never seen flautas look so sad and lonely. The rice and beans were okay. Not too bad not too good. Just ok. It's a shame the restaurant is super beautiful but the food doesn't really seem authentic.
