We also tried their pancake breakfast, chilaquiles, and the molcajete. The molcajete came out loaded and was definitely one of my favorites. The chilaquiles were bomb too, and I love that you can come here for a full Mexican breakfast or something heavier. Good portions, authentic flavors, and a spot that's been serving La Puente for decades. You know a place is doing something right when it's been around for 35+ years. Definitely coming back!

Service was also very friendly. The man who took my order over the phone and rang me up was warm and kind. Restaurant is tiny but full of people enjoying their meals.

We ordered the American breakfast, which is supposed to come with: eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. Instead we got eggs, bacon, potatoes, beans and a pancake that was a mix between a cookie and dry corn bread. The orange juice is freshly squeezed with fresh SEEDS included. The over easy eggs were swimming in oil as well as the potatoes. Everything was just oily. They advertise their daily agua frescas on a hand written menu but when we ask for horchata they said "not today". Should've gone to the burger joint down the block instead. Waste of time and money. I'm giving it 2 stars because of good coffee and friendly servers.

It's the type of place that I would be stoked finding it, if I was on a road trip driving from California through Texas (and through New Mexico). It just has that certain quality of authenticity or how you would imagine a Mexican spot like you see in the movies or something. I came in for a late lunch so I was the only one in the restaurant so the service was pretty quick. The menu is full of those combination classics that you would see at certain Mexican restaurants. I ended up ordering the three tacos dorados combo. I thought the food was great. Because it wasn't busy at the time parking was easy to find on the street. I parked right out front.

I had the huevos divorciados and both the red and green sauce had great flavor. The handmade tortillas were the cherry on top. I will be coming back more often.

The enchiladas had an amazing meat to tortilla ratio which I very much enjoyed. I am not a fan of wet burritos, but my partner enjoyed his alot. Safe to say, we both finished our meals. We also had a jamaica and it was too sweet to my liking but my partner LOVED it! Service: Pretty great! Ale was our waitress and she was on top of getting our drinks to our food. We had a hard time getting the check as it took a while but I don't blame her. Ambiance: Such cool interior. Reminds me of tex/mex restaurant decor when in Texas. A bit pricey but would definitely come back for their Sunday AYCE Brunch and Taco Tuesdays :)
